When Sun Xiangfu led tens of thousands of people to teach rice planting in the fields, the court finally agreed on his previous invitation.

Before his proclamation was published in the court, all the people had not looked at the problem of social structure in conjunction with the economic development of the country, and now they know better how high-end the problems that need to be paid attention to in governing a large country are.

It turns out that the number of peasants, workers, merchants, and scholars in a country all need to be reasonably distributed, and once it is unreasonable, it is also prone to problems.

Before the people of the surrounding ethnic minorities and the new overseas frontiers have a good grasp of farming technology, the Central Plains still needs to temporarily undertake the agricultural needs of all the people in this country, and provide security for everyone's basic living needs such as food and clothing.

Shannan Province has well-developed waterways and is located in the heart of the country, once the economy takes off, it will surely drive the entire central region.

Moreover, Datang does need a grain production land that is not afraid of floods and droughts, and has a relatively high yield, with this place, the fields in other places can be used more for the planting of cash crops, which can play a very positive role in the development of the agricultural economy of the whole country.

Most importantly, it helps countries to fight all natural disasters more effectively.

'Jinghu is ripe, and the world is full. ’

This is the slogan shouted by Sun Xiangfu, and Li Shimin's heart was very excited, and he regarded the field he wanted to develop as a future artifact of the country.

Therefore, Li Shimin approved Sun Xiangfu's request, and starting this year, the imperial court's finance and taxation will be concentrated on the construction of the central region, and every year, the money invested in the development of the fields will reach 15 million yuan.

Moreover, not only waterway transportation, in land transportation, will also increase investment, in the next three years, the central to the southeast and northwest four directions of the official road, will be widened, leveled, paved with cement, as a new round of extension after the infrastructure construction of Chang'an and Luoyang.

As for where the money for these infrastructure construction comes from, Li Shimin has not worried at all, because Datang's fiscal and tax this year will have a large increase, and the new monetary policy has brought him enough cash, and gold, silver and copper are constantly sent to the official mint to be minted into coins, and he will continue to have a large amount of cash in his account, and these other financial and tax incomes will be invested in infrastructure construction, then, in fact, in fact, it is the ordinary people who sell their labor force and earn the money.

After Wu Shitong returned to Chang'an, he brought Li Shimin the news of the flood in Shannan Province, but Sun Xiangfu has not asked for help so far, which proves that he is sure that he can deal with the flood by himself.

However, Li Shimin was still a little uneasy, and transferred Feng Zhidai to lead more than 30,000 Zuo Xiaowei's army to come to support.

In fact, when Feng Zhidai led the army into the boundary of Shannan Province, the water had already receded, as Sun Xiangfu expected, the ecological environment in this period was not as bad as in later generations, and the floods were generally not too big, they were all caused by rainfall, and the duration would not be too long, and as soon as the rainy season passed, the water level almost returned to normal.

It's just that the area of flooded fields is not small, after all, the people in the lake area, for the convenience of irrigation, cultivate the fields, the terrain is relatively low. Therefore, during this time, the big ships of the waterway transfer company gathered many people who were looking for a way because their fields were flooded in various prefectures and counties in Shannan Province.

Now, there are almost 300,000 or 400,000 people gathered on the embankment that has been repaired, which accounts for more than 20% of the population of the entire Shannan Province.

During the period when these people took refuge on the embankment, after seeing the scene of the rice fields and villages in the big wall, they instantly found their purpose in life, this kind of rice field that is not afraid of floods, almost impossible to encounter drought, and can control the water level in the field according to their own wishes, is simply perfect, no wonder they can grow such neat, dense seedlings.

Moreover, they also knew that the imperial court would vigorously develop such fields in the future, and sent fourteen princes to come here to plant the fields themselves.

Later, Sun Xiangfu almost didn't spend much effort, so they voluntarily obeyed the call and started a large-scale construction project.

Little people, who doesn't want to have a stable harvest in the field, who wants to be forced by disasters every year to have no way out! However, the more than 30,000 troops led by Feng Zhidai can just help Sun Xiangfu do some organizational and management work, and there are a lot of specific things to be taken care of.

The power of a large number of people is great, especially when these people are also equipped with a large number of new iron tools transported from the Weinan Farm Tool Factory by the waterway transfer company.

In May, when the rice began to bloom, these people not only completed the previous half-built field, then stopped spring ploughing, but also completed the fifth field next to it, these five fields, adding up to almost 120,000 acres in size, according to each household more than 20 acres to distribute, can also be placed 5,000 households, for hundreds of thousands of people living in the shantytowns of the embankment, want to get a piece of their own land in the Jinghu area, it is simply too little, in order to be able to share such a good field, Sun Xiangfu estimated that they could build two embankments with an area of no less than 30,000 acres in a month, and level and plan the land inside.

After that, Sun Xiangfu only needs to give them land along the river and lake, let Feng Zhidai directly lead the soldiers, and organize the people to build embankments by themselves, and because of the more manpower, the fields are also getting bigger and bigger, and more than 200,000 acres can be developed, and the super large walls that can be placed under eight or nine thousand households also appear in Sun Xiangfu's planning. It was established as an upper county with a population of more than 30,000 households, and the name was all thought of, called Jiuyuan County.

After doing a good job in these plans, Sun Xiangfu started the first round of hybrid rice breeding teaching, basically there are no technical difficulties, that is, according to Sun Xiangfu's traditional breeding methods that have long been familiar with the heart, teaching the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, they still don't understand what the concept of crop hybridization is, like the children of farmers, the theoretical knowledge of these things, basically learned thoroughly, especially like Wu Meiniang, a child who is young and has not formed his own fixed cognition of things, she learns much faster than the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture. At most, if she cultivates some of her hands-on ability, she will be able to match the level of Sun Deshou, a group of peasant children who first came into contact with agronomy.

On the ridge of the field next to the lotus pond of Dayuan, Zhang Ke caught a big frog with a flower skin for Sun Jing's children, and then, tied his waist with a thin rope, and the other end, let Sun Jing lead him by hand, the frog jumped, Sun Jing happily ran with him, the frog wanted to jump into the river, or go to the field, he would be pulled back again, obviously, he had adapted to the days when his mother was not around, and there were many fun things in the countryside.

Sun Wanting is holding a lotus bud that Wu Meiniang helped her pick, learning from Wu Meiniang's appearance, gently, turning the petals of the big bud outward with her hands, like this, after all the petals are turned over, the pink petals are stacked layer by layer, which is very beautiful, and the lotus petals that have bloomed are easy to fall off and can't stand her playing.

In order to eat a fresh lotus pod, Li Tai wet all his clothes, and his legs were full of mud, but unfortunately, after seeing Wu Meiniang's eyes, he obediently contributed the lotus pod he picked.

There's no way, he's too afraid that this somewhat perverted girl will trick herself, now, the fourteen princes, everything will keep a distance of more than three meters from her, when sleeping at night, not only will they wash themselves cleanly, clean the bed, but also close the doors and windows tightly, even if it is summer here, the house is not ventilated, it will be a little stuffy, they would rather sleep with relish.

Because, they are afraid that a bunch of toads will crawl on them, or, there will be a water snake that has come to eat toads, will appear in their room.

That's right, these are Wu Meiniang's masterpieces, and his means of educating the kings are definitely not to take political classes like Sun Xiangfu, persuade him bitterly, and scare them with the leather whip that has never beaten anyone, but to force them to obey even if they are more than two months apart, when the kings accidentally remember it, they will still shudder.

During this period, Jing King Li Yuanjing's feet were clattered, Wu Meiniang told him that this is this kind of blood-sucking worm in his body cubs, soon, those little cubs will grow up in his belly, and then, his belly will grow up day by day, and it is full of this kind of worms that like to suck human blood, these words directly scared Li Yuanjing almost fainted, and wanted to find an imperial doctor to save himself, but Wu Meiniang told him that the locals treat this potbelly disease, and they all drink soaphorn water, which has a miraculous effect.

Then, King Jing almost pulled out his anus.

After that, when he saw Wu Meiniang's displeased eyes, he would be unconsciously afraid, always worried that she would put that kind of leech to suck his own blood again.

Besides, on the leg of Li You, the king of Qi, the kind of scabs that grew out after being shot by the slurry of the toad, are not well yet.

As for the leeches that look even more terrifying, there is no need to talk about it, because once you find such a thing in the field, or in the water, the princes will definitely scream again and again, and rush ashore as soon as possible, in their opinion, this is a strengthened version of the leech, they saw with their own eyes a leech, sucking the blood on a buffalo, and in a large clay pot of Wu Meiniang, there are actually several big leeches that are almost as long as chopsticks.

"Ahh There are water snakes. ”

Li Yuanchang's scalp almost exploded, and he turned around and was about to run up the ridge.

"Don't move, don't step on the rice, the water snake is more afraid of you than you, he is afraid of you, and besides, he won't bite you in the water, continue to inspect the whole field." Not far away, Sun Xiangfu, who was carrying an eel hook to catch yellow eels on the boundary stalk of the rice field, yelled with some annoyance.

Just now, the yellow eel with a thick thumb in the cave was about to bite the hook, and was frightened by Li Yuanchang's movement and shrunk back, if the word crying without tears is a person's expression, then, Li Yuanchang's current expression is, a month ago, he was bitten by the water snake released by Wu Meiniang, although the water snake is not poisonous, but it still made his calf swollen with a big bag, God knows where this eight or nine-year-old girl came from so bold, she dared to learn from the children in the village, and carried the tail of the water snake to play.

Their task of inspecting the rice field now is to pull out the barnyard grass in the field, this kind of weeds that are naturally easy to accompany the rice field, it is very easy to suck away the fertility of the rice field, and the growth rate is faster than that of rice.

Li Tai was the first to complete the task of pulling barnyard grass in the field he assigned, so in addition to being able to pick a few lotus canopies to satisfy his hunger, he could also come to follow Sun Xiangfu to learn to fish for eels, and when he contributed a bunch of lotus canopies he picked to Wu Meiniang, and finally turned to the hands of holding the child in one hand and holding a big lotus leaf to shade the sun in the other hand Red plum and spring peach, Sun Xiangfu finally pulled the big yellow eel out of the hole.

"Wow, big cargo! At least two or three. Sun Xiangfu happily put the yellow eel into a wooden barrel with a net mouth next to the boundary terrier, and said with a smile.

Inside, there are more than a dozen yellow eels with thick thumbs, swimming restlessly, trying to escape.

"Master Sun, can I try this too?"

"Yes, but if you want to learn to fish for yellow eel, you have to learn to find the hole of the yellow eel first."

"I heard Qiu Zan and they said that there are also a lot of yellow eels in the lotus root pond, why do you like to fish in the rice fields?"

"Because the yellow eel in the rice field likes to eat a relatively small soil frog, and the soil frog is a beneficial creature that can help us eat most of the pests in the rice field, if you just want to eat the yellow eel, I only need to get a few fish cages to go down, it is enough to eat, why bother so hard fishing, but when it comes to fishing for yellow eel, there is also some fun in it, you need to master it well."

"Do you still have skills in fishing for yellow eels?"

"That's natural, first of all, to find the yellow eel hole, you have to have a certain level, secondly, after the yellow eel bites the hook, you can't pull too hard, this yellow eel hook is made of iron, you pull too hard, easy to tear his mouth, when you need to put it, when pulling, wrestling with it, especially the big yellow eel, generally have to consume its strength almost, in order to pull out of the hole. Moreover, the direction of the sharp hook is best towards his more painful lower lip, which has bones and is not so easy to hook······"
