Dry land is like a river beach, and one side of rice seedlings is protected. Upon learning of this, the people followed suit. After a while, the stones on the bright eyes near Quyang were dug up by the people and thrown on the rice fields. As for the wheat, it had to be watered as usual without much effect, but it was always possible to keep the crops alive.

Sun Nian learned that there was a way to keep the rice field, and he laughed happily like a madman. Immediately rewarded Rong Meng with brocade silk and told him to do it well, and if there is any more results, he will be rewarded. And this reward, Rong Meng didn't know, Sun Nian had already made a plan in his heart, that is, when the time came, he would be asked to join Da Si Nong's subordinates, so as to increase the crops for Da Qi.

As for the man who can build a waterwheel, he is also a character. After all, since the first waterwheel in the Han Dynasty came out, there are really few people in the world who can build waterwheels. Seeing that Yang He can really do it, he is allowed to do a craftsman's job.

"Junfu, there is news from Yingfu that the drought in Quyang has just begun, and we have suppressed its signs. Congratulations! ”

After hearing this, the fifth often smiled and congratulated Sun Nian: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" This is the blessing of Daqi, and it is the blessing of the people. Since the county order Rong Meng's method of cultivating land on the rocky beach is feasible, has His Majesty ever thought of implementing it in other applicable places in Daqi? ”

Sun Nian nodded, "Well, I did think about it. However, before implementing this policy, you have to send a rice field envoy to Quyang to follow Rong Meng to learn. But it's important now to find enough rice field messengers. "But the messenger of the rice field is not a leaf, he can have as much as he wants. It has to be selected nationally.

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. If Your Majesty has not yet done this, I can do it. ”

Sun Nian thought about it, and thought that there was no major event in the near future, and it was naturally feasible to do this thing five often.

"That's good. This matter will be handled by Jun Fu. You can do it. Sun Nian smiled and handed over this great task to the fifth constant, and finally, he said: "If you want to use money, look for Ah Ze." ”

After listening to the fifth, the heaviness in my heart was dispelled, and I smiled and agreed. As for whether Cui Ze will be so angry with them, he is actually looking forward to it.

Cui Ze came back from a busy day, and he heard that the fifth was often waiting for him. He hurried to the hall, and when he heard it, he realized that he was reaching out for money again. In a hurry, he fainted immediately, and no matter how the fifth constant pinched him and beat him, he was "dizzy". can make the fifth constant who originally wanted Cui Ze to jump his feet angry.

He shook his hand and got up, and said angrily: "Forget it, I'll tell Your Majesty when I turn around, Ah Ze is not qualified to be the Great Si Nong, so let him change positions with Tai Servant Qing [Note 1], okay?" Anyway, Cui Ze suddenly opened his eyes and walked away.

On weekdays, Cui Ze is quite a clever person, but this time he is also stupid. was caught off guard by the fifth constant.

"Hey, you're a fifth! When you are a left-hand minister, you will come to oppress me! No, I have to go to His Majesty. "Can't you really ask the Fifth Chang to mention this matter to His Majesty, and let him take care of the carriages and horses!

As everyone knows, if you go like this, you really fall into the "trap" of the fifth constant.

When Sun Nian saw him, he said: "Ah Ze, this time I have to take money from the treasury again, you can see how much you can take, and give it to Jun Fu." ”

Not to mention that he wants to change his official position with the prince?

Seeing the fifth constant smiling, Cui Ze also came back to his senses - he was put on a table by the fifth constant.

"Your Majesty wants to find a messenger from the rice field, but I can only squeeze out ten pieces of money, and the cloth is also ten. There is only so much more. ”

The fifth common Cui Ze looked like a scoundrel, and he was also helpless, but he also knew that the country was not too rich now, so he didn't care too much. The top priority is to use the limited money cloth to recruit the most farming masters......

Not to mention how Cui is painfully allocated money, let's talk about winning and recovering here. After finishing the rice field, Rong Meng and Yingfu squatted in the wheat field every day to worry. After a few days, the beard and hair were unkempt, so that others did not dare to recognize the two of them.

The guards wanted to "share the hardships" with their superiors, but they really couldn't stand their sloppy cowardice-afraid that they would scare away the young girl, so they still dressed heroically every day, setting off the two superiors more like lazy men.

"Brother Yingfu, you say, how can this wheat field be neatly organized? Ridges and ridges are dense, how to save water and trouble for watering? ”

"I really can't do anything about this. I've been dancing with knives and guns since I was a child, and this is something I have had a profound experience this year. It's really not easy for farmers. ”

Rong Meng nodded, he didn't think much about Ying Fu's words, he just racked his brains to think about it.

"Or when the waterwheel is built, it can be looser." Seeing that Rong Meng didn't speak, Ying Fu looked at the farmers who were carrying water and was very emotional. He also tried to pick up a few loads of water, but then the skin on his shoulders was worn out. He wondered, he was also thick-skinned, why couldn't he bear the "oppression" of the flat burden? No one gave him an answer, but the peasants didn't dare to let him touch the bucket anymore.

"Waterwheel?" Rong Meng repeated stupidly, "The waterwheel is done, you can save some time." ”

"Is it necessary to dump the water scooped up by the waterwheel into the field like this? Isn't that a waste? Win Fu shouted.

Rong Meng also understood, "Even so, I also think it's a waste of water." Thinking of the sink filled with water on the waterwheel, Rong Meng's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh fiercely, and laughed: "I thought of it!"

"What?"

"Aren't we afraid that the water will dry out when it reaches the ground? We'll just use the sink! ”

Ying Fu listened to Rong Meng's words, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Sink?" Connecting water everywhere? ”

Rong Meng nodded violently.

The two of them thought of this idea, and naturally they acted immediately, and the peacock-like guards of the command went to cut down the big bamboo. At that time, the bamboo will be opened in half, and if it is not big enough, ask some craftsmen to come up with ideas, and it will always work.

In less than half a day, the people who were cooking the fields nearby knew that the imperial doctor and the county envoy had made another move.

I saw that the bamboos were broken and became a foot-wide sink in the hands of the craftsman, and the mouth was wide enough to swallow an egg.

When they learned about Yingfu and Rong Meng's plans, they were moved again.

With a sink, you can water your crops faster and better. The fields that had been planted with coarse grains were also saved.

While they were happy, Yingfu received a letter from Sun Nian. He took it apart and looked at it, and his mouth crooked with a smile.

Rong Meng and the farmers were very curious and asked what was going on with Yingfu.

Ying Fu smiled and said, "Your Majesty came up with a small plan, saying that let's try to see if it is feasible." "If it were possible, those arid places would be wasted!

Rong Meng was even more curious, took the letter, quickly skimmed through it, and then stuffed the letter into Ying Fu's arms, cut a two-finger-wide bamboo branch, inserted it under the soil, and hurriedly scooped the water with a melon scoop, and carefully poured the water into the bamboo pipe.

"It's done!" The first person to exclaim was not Rong Meng, nor Ying Fu, but the people watching from the sidelines.
