The Hu merchants who went north and the taxes of Jiangnan were sent away, and the second double-cropping rice seedlings in the land of Jiangnan were planted in the fields again.

This time Xiao Zheng found that many people began to use the seedling throwing method to transplant seedlings, after all, the yield has increased by one percent, and the yield temptation of this one percent is not generally big for farmers, and several old farmers are now very respectful of this method, at least in the fields outside Yangzhou City, this method has begun to be popularized.

I got up in the morning and went to the hospital, and after I was done, I led the helpers to the sugar cane field, where the sugarcane stalks all turned purple and the leaves on the top began to turn yellow.

"My lord, this 'sweet rod' is growing very well, but Xia Guan doesn't understand, this thing is also a mouth-occupying thing, although it tastes very sweet, your kind is thousands of acres, so much is useless?" Xu Jingzong said to Xiao Zheng.

"What do you say, 'sweet rod'? You say sugar cane, it's useless? Will I have anything useless in my hands? This thing is a good material for sugar production, cane is the fruit of the spleen, cane syrup is sweet and cold, can be hot and hot. If it is fried into sugar, it will be sweet and warm and help dampness and heat, and this cane juice will quench thirst and quench alcohol."

First, three of them were cut and the skin was cut and handed to the three children, and several of the children took the sugarcane and saw that their mouths were moving, and soon one of them was gone.

shouted to the public to lose Ruoyi, asked him to take the machine that he made yesterday to press sugarcane juice, handed the ganshu rod between the two wooden rollers, and turned the handle to watch the cane juice flow out of the trough next to it.

After returning home with two buckets, I put the sugarcane juice into the pot in front of everyone, wrapped the charcoal in gauze and stirred while boiling, and after the juice was collected, it became a pile of sugar cubes in vain, and after being crushed, it was put into a small mill and slowly ground into powder, Xiao Zheng let everyone taste a small spoonful.

"Master, this thing is sweeter than honey, have a little more," Li Tai shouted.

"Come on, this thing will grow meat if you eat too much, you still eat it, and I will give you steamed sugar buns to eat at night" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

Looking at Pei Mingli and Liu Yijie, Xiao Zheng asked with a smile: "This thing is packed in tin cans, half a catty per can, in order to sell well, we can call him snow sugar or white sugar, how much can this buy?" ”。

"My lord, if this thing is made into food, or put into milk, we can decide how much we want to sell, and we will soon build a sugar factory again" Pei Mingli said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"I'm just waiting for your words!".

Xiao Zhengxiao, who had stopped for a while, tossed again, but this time the location of the toss was chosen in Hangzhou.

Walking on the wide official road, there are many more businessmen on the road to transport goods than on the official road in Chang'an, and some businessmen see that the road is good, and widen the carriage to enlarge, just to load more goods, Xiao Zheng even saw the carriage with two horses side by side appear on the official road.

"See, this is Huang Chengcheng's copper coin," Xiao Zheng said to Wu Shitong.

"Although I am a businessman, this is really the first time I have seen and admired the practice of promoting agriculture with business and raising merchants by farmers like adults!"

"My lord, we stamped all the copper coins and gold and silver of Gong Dajun's house that were confiscated last time into coins, and now the effect is better on the market than in the north.

"Then go ahead and press the commercial tax collected on the official road into new dollars as soon as possible."

After arriving in Hangzhou, the academy walked around, and the number of students in the academy increased significantly, and Gai Wenda laughed and said after seeing Xiao Zheng: "The old man has come to the right place, and now he is busy every day, thank you Xiao Gong."

"Do you want to live here forever?"

"That is, I will throw this bone here in the future, this Hangzhou Academy is said to be the hope of my Jiangnan Hanmen scholars, and the old man must cultivate this seedling well."

After chatting about the meeting, Gai Wenda took Xiao Zheng to introduce the people he recently invited to Xiao Zheng one by one, according to Mr. Gai Lao, these are all big materials in Shu, the most surprising thing for Xiao Zheng is that there is a gentleman who taught Wang Xiaotong in teaching arithmetic, if Xiao Zheng is not mistaken, his compilation of "Ji Gu Suanjing" solves the problem of finding the right root of cubic equations raised in large-scale earthworks, which is the treasure that Gai Wenda picked for him.

In the afternoon, Xiao Zheng waited for the Yan brothers and the people who supervised the craftsmen in the academy.

"Lord Qiqi, the lower officials and the people who supervised the craftsmen lasted two and a half months, and all the West Lake in the rainy season has been visited, and the drawn drawings are now presented."

After finishing speaking, the two brothers took out a stack of drawings that had been drawn, Xiao Zheng was a little surprised that the paper used in this painting was all white paper produced in Hangzhou, and this kind of paper was very similar to the paper of later generations, which also made Xiao Zheng admire the skills of papermakers.

"Yes, these big pictures are quite good, the national hand is the national player," Xiao Zheng said this, and the Yan brothers were very excited.

After looking at the drawings for a while, Yan Lide said, "Tell me your two views on the renovation of the West Lake."

"My lord, the West Lake itself is low-lying, the drainage is not smooth, if it is really rectified, we suggest that it is better to combine dredging and blocking, use the peripheral river to rectify the drainage, and then use the main river to sink the river into the sea, we should first dredge the West Lake, use the dredged silt to build an embankment, one to increase the water storage, and the other to use the embankment to consolidate the river ......."

Yan Lide is really an expert in water conservancy, and he speaks of the Tao one by one, and even Xiao Zheng listens to it with admiration. After he finished speaking, Xiao Zheng watched the two brothers wait for a while without speaking.

"Anything else?" Xiao Zheng asked suddenly.

"Xia Guan is finished," Yan Lide arched his hand at Xiao Zheng and said.

"Then let me ask you, what do you two brothers do?".

Xiao Zheng confused the two brothers by asking this question, and the two looked at each other and said: "My lord, the villain followed you to the south of the Yangtze River to build water conservancy, and I don't know ......."

"And what else is your brother good at?".

"Danqing Technique" Yan Liben replied quickly this time.

"What about the scenery of West Lake?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"The scenery of West Lake is second to none in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is second to none."

"Your brothers' painting skills are counted in the Tang Dynasty, and they happen to build water conservancy in the West Lake, so you didn't think about integrating your danqing art into it when you built the embankment?"

I took a picture, took out a pencil from the bookcase, pointed to the map, and said: "The plan you proposed to repair the embankment is very feasible, using the silt and grass dug out of the dredging West Lake to build a north-south embankment, which starts from the foothills of Nanping Mountain in the south to Qixialing in the north and crosses six rivers. These six places can be set up bridges, we can build different styles for each bridge, according to the characteristics can be called Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, pressing embankment, Dongpu, across the rainbow, the three islands in the lake can stand together and call "the three islands in the lake", just like the three islands of Penglai in the ancient legend of our country, so it can be called Xiaoyingzhou. On the continent, you can build a pavilion, a platform, a xuan, and you can also build three towers in the shallows of the lake, which is called to cause the realm of "lake in the lake", "island in the island", "garden in the garden" ......".

Waiting for Xiao Zheng to hold the pen, he told the scenery he saw on the West Lake in the future while drawing, and when he finished speaking, he raised his head and saw that the two brothers had already stood at the table.

After a while, Yan Lide sighed and said: "My lord is really still a beautiful mouth, and the opportunity to build water conservancy can come up with such a wonderful method to form a beautiful scene in the world, and now Shangguan is very excited to think about it."

"Okay, I'm just coming up with an idea, you guys are more specialized than me in what it looks like, and if you don't have an opinion, you'll have to bother you two to draw a few more pictures."

"Xiaguan will do it immediately," the two bowed and bowed, and then left excitedly.

Looking at the back of the two of them going out, Xiao Zheng smiled, if he, the traverser, didn't repair this embankment, there would be a Hangzhou Zhizhou named Su Shi to repair this embankment in a few hundred years, but since I came to take the lead, it will not be your turn to repair the old man, who asked me to come a few hundred years earlier than you.

I'm sorry! Master Su, it's your business to make poems in the future, but the embankment is repaired by buddies!
