At the end of February, Su Tiancheng went to the tenant's house several times, mainly to see the growth of winter wheat, and at the end of March, the seedlings will be raised, sweet potatoes and maize are all in need of seedlings, and it is okay to go down directly, but the harvest is pitiful, since it has such advanced science and technology, it must be put into practice.

Su Tiancheng and the second-class tenants of Wagyu have already selected a few acres of good fields as a place for seedlings, and these pieces of land, after the winter wheat is purchased, will be sorted out immediately, and it must be fertilized and irrigated. Seedling cultivation is the most critical step, and there must be no mistakes.

Tenants are still preparing straw and straw, these things are a lot, many farmers, are used as firewood, but to chop, it is not so simple, there is no large grinder, can only rely on households, manual completion.

Su Tiancheng has already discussed with Su Pingyang, the tenants still have to feed the pigs, the matter of feeding the pigs mentioned before, it is somewhat out of reality, no one has anything to eat, how to feed the pigs, if it is not for the cultivation of sweet potatoes, Su Tiancheng will not have such an idea.

Sweet potatoes can be planted, which can be fed to pigs, and regularly go to the field to clean the leaves of sweet potatoes, which is the best pig food. Sweet potatoes from 3,000 acres of land, the leaves that grow, and feed thousands of pigs, are all okay.

However, the current conditions are still not good, the key is that the tenants' housing is too poor, and many of them have no way to feed the pigs.

Some tenants who have the conditions have begun to carry out appropriate renovations in accordance with the requirements.

Qu Qingze went directly to the suburbs.

In the distance, Su Tiancheng saw a few people, riding horses galloping, he was still a little surprised, and when he saw the leader clearly, he was overjoyed and trotted to meet him.

After Qu Qingze got off the horse, the two hugged directly.

In fact, they are not very familiar with each other, but the feeling between the two is very good, and there is a bit of a like-minded taste.

"Brother Su, don't come to harm."

"Brother Qu is a rare guest, I haven't seen him for so long."

"I didn't expect Brother Su to be a scholar, and he actually knew how to do farm work, I went to visit the house, and I heard that Brother Su was here, so I hurriedly came, and I couldn't believe it when I saw Brother Su in the field."

"Brother Qu is laughing, I also learned from the farmers, if the four bodies are not diligent and the five grains are not divided, then it will be troublesome."

"This is just to say it in front of me, if it is heard by the reader, you have to blame Brother Su."

The two of them laughed.

"Brother Qu, it's almost noon, if you come, you will be safe, just eat here, Ertong, you go to Niu Er's house, prepare well, at two o'clock in the afternoon, I will take Brother Qu and his party over to eat."

Niu Er's body trembled, the young master's distinguished guest, went to his house to eat, this is the greatest glory, fortunately, there are still a few pieces of meat at home, which have been kept.

However, Niu Er still thought too much, Su Pingyang had already made arrangements, and immediately someone went to the nearby market to buy good pork and fresh fish, including a lot of vegetables and vegetables, the chief and the first head, and also arranged several women to go to Niu Er's house to help, counting the people who came with the young master, as well as the young master's distinguished guests, a total of three tables had to be prepared.

Su Tiancheng took Qu Qingze and walked around in the middle of the field, constantly introducing the situation to Qu Qingze.

"Brother Su, I really didn't expect it, along the way, I saw a lot of fields, all of which were withered, the situation here is completely different, I heard that these ditches, weir ponds and wells were built at your request."

"I just said that last year and the year before last were disasters, if we can't solve the problem of water shortage, it will be difficult for the fields to have any harvest, so the Su family will not be able to harvest food."

Qu Qingze patted Su Tiancheng's shoulder hard.

When introducing the situation, Su Tiancheng did not hide it in the slightest, Qu Qingze became more and more surprised, at the beginning, Su Tiancheng purchased sweet potato seeds from Fuzhou, he couldn't understand, and now he knows that he has already made arrangements.

Qu Qingze's expression gradually became more serious, he didn't know how Su Tian would have such an idea, the readers he came into contact with, he spoke and chewed words, and did things in a proper manner, and he would never think of things in the field.

This time, he came to Pingyang Mansion City to find Su Tiancheng, of course, there was something.

When eating, Qu Qingze showed boldness, drinking with a bowl, I didn't expect Su Tiancheng to care at all, followed by a bowl to drink, and the few brothers he brought, two of them were almost drunk, and Su Tiancheng was still fine.

Qu Qingze felt that he was becoming more and more unable to see through Su Tiancheng.

Dare to raise a knife to kill, do things decisively, drink so boldly, drink surprisingly much, be familiar with things in the farmland, and what kind of skills there are, I don't know what kind of skills I don't know.

With a bit of alcohol, the two walked forward slowly, and the people who followed behind consciously distanced themselves.

The content of what the two of them talked about was not just idle talk, but also about some key things.

"Brother Su, the township test is going to be held in August, and I'm waiting for the good news of your gold list title."

"Brother Xie Lu, Brother Xie Qu's encouragement, I will definitely do my best."

"I heard that the prefect has specially met Brother Su, it seems that Brother Su is really talented, and the prefect appreciates it."

"The prefect is my mentor, seeing that he is going to take the township test, he encouraged me and asked me to work hard, this is also normal, Brother Qu don't hear those rumors outside."

"Hehe, I understand, I don't know what arrangements Brother Su has before the township test."

"There are no other arrangements for the time being, there are a lot of things in March, sweet potatoes and maize are ready to be planted, winter wheat is purchased in early April, and it will be planted soon.

"Oh, isn't Brother Su going to go to the mansion or the province to study?"

"I'm not going to go, I don't want to do things that are cramming for a while, when I have time, I should review my homework and be prepared, I don't believe in dead reading."

"Brother Su's understanding is very good, have you ever thought about going out to practice."

Su Tiancheng's heart chuckled, before the township test, many students traveled together and traveled, this is actually a process of increasing knowledge, but over the years, the situation outside is a little chaotic, and the scholars are always a little sour and rotten, not thinking about contact with farmers, nor thinking about understanding the situation in various places, what I think of in my mind is always to visit famous teachers, or to play around the flowers, to show their own knowledge, so that the folk have the title of sour Xiucai, so this kind of travel is gradually despised.

Qu Qingze said that when he traveled out of Lu, it was definitely not ordinary.

"I also thought about it, from April to July, close to four months, there are not many things, but now it's not very peaceful outside, and it's not easy to travel here."

"What Brother Su said is that I came this time just to talk to you about the travels, I was originally thinking about this time, and I went out with Brother Su to have a look, but Brother Su still has something, so let's leave after April, during this time, I will disturb Brother Su, I don't know if it is convenient to go to Ludao."

"Brother Qu, don't say that, this was originally something I was bothering you, the conditions in the house are good, there is absolutely no problem to live, with Brother Qu by my side, I can't ask for it."

"Hehe, okay, it's settled, I'm still thinking, look at Brother Su is so busy with things in the field."

After returning to the mansion, Su Tiancheng realized that Qu Qingze came to Pingyang Mansion this time and brought ten Mongolian horses, nominally to express his gratitude for the last time.

Ten Mongolian horses, worth a hundred taels of gold, this is not a small amount of money.

Su Tiancheng didn't refuse, he already had a hunch that Qu Qingze's identity was not simple, and the identity of the old man was even more not simple, and all of Qu Qingze's actions must be inextricably linked with the old man.

In this, what is the reason, he is not ready to delve into it, some things must be known, but some things, the less you know, the better.

Qu Qingze and his entourage were arranged to the courtyard in the east and lived with Su Tiancheng.

As for the people who followed Qu Qingze, they saw the nursing home in Su Mansion and became very interested, and Qu Qingze also signaled them to participate in the training of the nursing home.

That is, from this day on, Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze called each other brothers.
