"Lord Qiqi, there was a flood in the Yellow River last night, and the river overflowed the ice, showing signs of pouring into Fengzhou City." Hu Xiaosi hurriedly found Li Xuanqing, who was about to inspect the handicraft workshop, and reported the emergency.

Li Xuanqing was taken aback, and after a few brief questions, he asked Hu Xiaosi to send an order to mobilize troops to protect the berm, and then hurried to the south of Fengzhou.

"Lord, are you here?" When Li Xuanqing arrived at the south city wall, Cen Tianshi was already there, and when he saw Li Xuanqing appear, he hurriedly rushed over to report.

"My lord, the temperature has risen in the spring recently, the upper reaches of the Yellow River have thawed and flooded, the river surface in my Houtao area is gentle, the ice is thick, and the temperature rises slowly, so the river overflows the ice and breaks through the weir, and the situation is a bit urgent." Cen Tianshi saw Li Xuanqing staring at the big water rolling from the Yellow River in the distance, and explained in a low voice.

Li Xuanqing waved his hand, the incident of Lingxun happened too much in later generations, and it was not alleviated until several large water conservancy hubs in the Yellow River were established. However, although the time I came to Toyosu was short, I was also prepared. Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked: "How is the situation of the dredging of our Fengzhou internal network?" Is it extending north as planned? Did the thing connect Tu Shenze and Wuliang Suhai? ”

"The passage of Wuliang Suhai in the east has been dredged, and Tu Shenze's side has not been repaired yet. The eight canals of Yongji have all been dredged. The weather has been weird this year. The weather is warming up too quickly there, but north of the Yellow River is the opposite. Cen Tianshi's face was a little ugly and said: "I looked at the state records of Fengzhou, this phenomenon is not a good situation." ”

"Let's go and have a look along the way, talking as we go. The herald informed Commander Chen to mobilize two battalions of the recruit battalion to start inspecting all sections of the river north of the Wujia River along the coast, paying close attention to the water situation, and letting Xuan Yingwei participate. Li Xuanqing and Cen Tian went down the city wall and rode horses along the Yellow River to check point by point.

"Don't worry, the Loop area will be flooded every year, and we are prepared. The backflow of the river brings silt, and it also brings the abundance of the loop. Cen Tianshi saw Li Xuanqing's solemn face and said with a smile: "We just need to promise not to be flooded." When the river recedes, spring ploughing can begin, and there are 1.5 million acres of farmland in Fengzhou. It is intended to grow most of the rice, plus other sorghum, wheat and soybeans, among others. ”

Li Xuanqing nodded, and suddenly found that he seemed to be too nervous, this era is not the era of serious secondary biochemistry of the land in the Hetao area in the later generations, and the problem of flood irrigation is not big for the time being, and it can be improved when there is time and strength in the future. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile: "Mr. is right, I'm also too nervous." I will leave all the matter of spring ploughing to Mr., and I will let the new barracks be moved to the banks of the Wujia River, and they will be on standby at any time, and the command will be handed over to you for the time being. We must do a good job in this spring ploughing, otherwise I will really go and grab it. ”

After the danger was lifted, the two talked and laughed and walked back, discussing the specific situation of spring ploughing as they walked, "How is the double stone fertilizer prepared for Mr. before?" Li Xuanqing suddenly remembered that he had given Cen Tianshi the formula of the soil fertilizer in the later life, and said with a smile.

100 catties of fresh cow dung, 2 taels of soybean flour, 10 catties of cooked gypsum powder, sealed and placed at room temperature for three days, applied to three times the water, the fertilizer efficiency is higher than that of ammonia.

100 catties of human urine, 10 catties of plaster, 50 catties of water, mix and stir well, apply after 10 days of closure, and the fertilizer effect is equivalent to ammonium sulfate.

In later generations, these two kinds of soil fertilizers knew the approximate formula on Baidu, but they were not summarized in this era. Li Xuanqing planned to let Cen Tianshi reserve some in advance and put it in a place north of the Wujia River where the soil quality was slightly worse.

"I've prepared a lot, but I've been involved in farming, but I've never heard of this thing. Lord, are you sure this has an effect? Cen Tianshi nodded, but he obviously didn't believe in what Li Xuanqing said. However, Li Xuanqing didn't explain much, and it would be convincing when it had an effect in the future, so he just asked not to leak the secret and stopped asking.

The flood was ferocious, overflowing the river embankment and quickly rushing to the ground of Toyosu with yellowish turbid water, which also brought a thick layer of silt. The sediment brought by the Yellow River upstream contains a variety of minerals that quickly settle after spilling over the flat land of the loop, leaving these minerals behind. This is the origin of the nine songs of the Yellow River, the only rich set. And the back set is also the essence of the entire Hetao Plain.

A few days later, at the end of April, after the flood, all the people in the three cities of Fengzhou almost collectively dispatched, after Li Xuanqing got out the honeycomb coal in advance, the greenhouse can basically be produced, and tens of thousands of seedlings and seeds that have been cultivated in advance are distributed to the people, and they begin to rush to prepare for spring ploughing.

Li Xuanqing casually put aside the information about the death of Emperor Xizong sent by Xuan Yingwei, and said with a smile: "Qiaoxi, let's go, go out to work." With his words, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in the flower season walked up, it was Qiaoxi. During this time, the little girl followed Li Xuanqing, although she was submissive, but she became more and more beautiful, sometimes Li Xuanqing was in a trance, was she the person in her previous life? However, as time goes by, Li Xuanqing doesn't plan to dwell more on this issue, yes or no, what's the point? At least I can find her in the sea of people in this life, and that's enough.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Qiaoxi was dressed in a light gray power suit, wearing the cloak that Li Xuanqing gave her, and when she saw Li Xuanqing stunned there, she couldn't help but shake her hand and smiled.

Li Xuanqing came to his senses, looked at the smiling Qiaoxi in front of him, took a deep breath, nodded, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'm going out to work today." The two of them rode to Nancheng, the place where the most land was reclaimed in the entire Toyoshu.

"Lord, you're here." When Li Xuanqing arrived, everyone was already working, so they greeted each other when they saw the two of them coming. However, his arrival also made the people around him who worked with the soldiers a little stunned, the Fengzhou patrol envoy actually went to work in the field himself, what is the situation?

However, Li Xuanqing did not have the slightest pretentiousness, rolled up his sleeves and jumped off the farmland, and began to do farm work decently. It's just that after everyone around him saw Li Xuanqing's figure in the crowd, the work in their hands unconsciously became much faster, and after word by word, the news that the patrol envoy personally went to the field to do farm work at noon spread all over the reclamation points.

For a while, there were different opinions, both good and bad, but this breath made everyone work a lot faster and faster, and the spring ploughing in Fengzhou began to officially enter the middle of the year. More than 100,000 people with the help of the garrisons in various places, along the Fengzhou Thorn Prefecture planning reclamation area took more than half a month in the help of more than 500 nose pierced cattle from cattle to the help of all sorted, in the middle of May the Hetao finally ushered in a warm breath, with Cen Tianshi's order, all the farmland began to sow seedlings, seeds, all kinds of people flow endlessly. The Assassin's Mansion even hired a group of women to do a good job of the logistics of the farming army together with the soldiers who were dispatched.

And Li Xuanqing also took Qiaoxi to work in the field in person, and walked around the various reclamation points in Fengzhou to check the problems at any time. A spring planting spread.

"Lord, as of today, eighty percent of the 1.5 million acres of farmland have been planted with seeds and seedlings." At dinner that night, Cen Tianshi happily sat next to Li Xuanqing with his rice bowl, and the two ate at the same table, not caring about their image at all, and laughed there.

Li Xuanqing nodded, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Spring plowing is going well, and Mr. has worked hard." These days, I basically get up early and return late, and when I'm done, I, the boss, will cook and cook a few delicious foods, how about we have a good meal? ”

"My lord, this is what you said, you have a good appetite during this time, you have to do more then." Cen Tianshi laughed, saw Qiaoxi standing at the door with a bowl of soup from outside, and said with a smile: "Miss Qiaoxi has also worked hard this time, and it is really not easy to go up the mountain and down the river with us big men every day." ”

Qiaoxi originally saw the two of them talking and thought they were talking about business, so she stood at the door and didn't know whether to go in or not, but when she heard Cen Tianshi's words, she immediately blushed, walked to Li Xuanqing's side and put the soup on the desk, hiding behind Li Xuanqing and not daring to show her head.

"Okay, Mr. Cen is praising you, it's really hard for you during this time. Come and eat together. Li Xuanqing patted her head and said with a smile.

"It's okay, Qiaoxi used to beg on the street with her father in Fengzhou, which is much more bitter than now. Now I follow my big brother, eat well every day, and live well. Qiaoxi felt very happy. Qiaoxi obediently sat next to Li Xuanqing, picked up the bowl, and the timid voice inadvertently said that made Li Xuanqing and Cen Tianshi's faces darken. How much suffering did this girl suffer in the early years? How many more are there like her?

Qiaoxi saw that the two of them didn't speak, and suddenly realized what she had said, and her face was anxious but was interrupted by Li Xuanqing, Li Xuanqing sandwiched a piece of meat for her, and said with a smile: "In the future, there will be a big brother, I won't let you suffer, come and eat a piece of meat." ”

Cen Tianshi also smiled and said: "Little girl, when I am free for a while, I plan to accept some disciples, how about it, help me find some people to come over when the time comes?" ”

"Me?" Qiaoxi didn't react for a while, and looked at Li Xuanqing a little puzzled, not understanding what it meant.

However, Li Xuanqing's heart moved, and he didn't break Cen Tianshi's thoughts, he just patted Qiaoxi's head and said with a smile: "Girl, Mr. Cen wants to accept you as a disciple, this is your blessing, don't thank the master soon." ”

"Qiaoxi has seen sir." Qiaoxi also understood when she saw Li Xuanqing's smile, stood up and saluted respectfully.

Cen Tianshi laughed, and after making fun of his disciple for a few words, he began to continue eating with Li Xuanqing.

"After the end of spring ploughing, the Thorn Mansion must seize the time to supervise the development of industry, and various workshops must expand their output, and there may be a big battle in the future. Priority should be given to those involved in the handicraft industry involving the military industry. Li Xuanqing said while eating.

"Don't worry, the lord is watching someone from the industry, and he won't hold the army back. And Commander Chen also often went to squat. Cen Tianshi nodded, he understood Li Xuanqing's military strategic intentions very well, so he had arranged it early in the morning.

Li Xuanqing nodded and said with a smile: "I'll take a look in a few days, and by the way, I'll see the progress of several other projects." By the way, the friend of Jinyang and Yizhou you mentioned last time is almost here. Then there will be a big deal for them. ”

"It stands to reason that it should be just a few days ago." Cen Tianshi calculated the time and said with a smile: "I boasted about Haikou, if the business of the lord is not big, my old face will be lost." ”

Li Xuanqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's a big business for tens of millions of people." It won't be small. After a pause, he suddenly remembered one thing and asked: "After the spring ploughing, after arranging the people's responsibility field, we should demarcate the area to dig the fish pond, and then plant mulberry trees, and make a little mulberry fish pond, so as to form a micro microcirculation of agricultural handicrafts. ”

Cen Tianshi was frightened by Li Xuanqing's big business that involved tens of millions of people, and he almost didn't listen to the rest of the story, until Li Xuanqing said the plan, and said with an embarrassed smile: "How can the lord understand everything?" ”

"You forgot? I'm also an orphan, so how can I not know about these farming and farming, and the livelihood of these people? Li Xuanqing bragged a few words, and didn't pay attention to the change in Qiaoxi's eyes after hearing that he was an orphan, and continued: "The work in the rear is too trivial and heavy, Mr. has time to choose more assistants, don't tire your body." ”

"Does the lord mean to start the tax reform as soon as possible and try out the new commercial code? Could it be a little early? Li Xuanqing's words made Cen Tianshi's heart move, and he immediately knew what he was talking about.

Li Xuanqing shook his head and said with a smile: "We have all neglected one thing-" Pointing to the north, he said: "Last winter, the temperature in the south was higher than in previous years, but a few heavy snowfalls in the north of the Yellow River almost caused disasters. ”

Cen Tianshi's face turned ugly for a moment, and he spit out a few words word by word in his mouth, "Cross the Great Wall, detain the customs and loot, and make up for the losses caused by the snow disaster." ”

"I can't do anything else, but I'm responsible for Toyosu." Li Xuanqing put down his job, and his face became more serious than ever, "The development of Fengzhou needs money, investment, innovation and openness. ”

"Please rest assured, the time will understand." Cen Tianshi stood up with a solemn expression.
