Chapter 39: Planting

Lu Huaiyu's deep eyes looked at her, and his deep voice was indescribably good: "You say." ”

Luo Shuangyi looked at the bandits kneeling on the ground and couldn't bear it, after all, they were all living lives, if they were killed like this, there would be no benefit except for killing them in vain, if they could solve their livelihoods, they would probably not live a life of licking blood from the knife edge.

"Then first ask His Royal Highness the Prince to promise to let them go."

After finishing speaking, Luo Shuangyi made a respectful bow to Lu Huaiyu.

A trace of puzzlement flashed in Lu Huaiyu's eyes, since he knew the true dens of these robbers, why did he let them go back to do evil?

Luo Shuangyi saw Lu Huaiyu's malice, and smiled disapprovingly: "Life in the world, it is not easy to live, if it is not a corner, who wants to be infamous as a bandit and live without dignity?" I let them go, just to give them another chance to choose. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone praised Luo Shuangyi again.

A trace of pride rose in the old lady's eyes: this is her child, so open-minded and lenient!

Luo Yingxue looked at Luo Shuangyi with a hidden jealousy and hatred in her eyes, all as if she was acting in front of Lu Huaiyu, and her hanging hand grabbed the corner of her clothes in her sleeve: What is a lot of tolerance, according to her, Luo Shuangyi, this woman is stupid, they are all some vicious bandits, and they actually let them go!

If it weren't for Lu Huaiyu's presence, she couldn't wait to step forward and tear off Luo Shuangyi's mask.

Lu Huaiyu looked at her expression again with half-eyed eyes, making sure that she was not pretending, and said in a low voice: "Let them go, they will still be bandits again." ”

"No, I ...... We don't dare. The bandits knelt on the ground and shook their heads vigorously, while at the same time looking at Luo Shuangyi with pleading eyes.

Luo Shuangyi looked at those bandits, and once again felt compassion in his heart, and frowned: "Your Royal Highness, I have a plan here to make them change their ways." ”

Lu Huaiyu looked at her slightly, waiting for her next step, if it was an ordinary woman, if she caught these bandits, she would definitely be eager to dismantle them, but this woman personally said that she would let them go, and let them change their ways, thinking of the new ideas she came up with in the past two days, he couldn't help but have a trace of expectation in his heart.

"You can let them work as laborers and grow crops."

The people live on food! Luo Shuangyi knew that in ancient times, food was like gold, if he didn't kill these people and send them into exile, it would be a waste of official money, and it would not be of much use, so it was better to let them do something useful.

Lu Huaiyu listened to Luo Shuangyi's words quietly, and his eyebrows gradually became soft.

"Nowadays, there is a lot of wasteland in Mocheng, and the land cannot be fully utilized, so when the grain harvest is not good, it is easy to cause banditry, so it is better to ask the government to redivide the land, distribute it to them for planting, and use the grain during the autumn harvest as silver money to repay the rent of seeds and land, so that not only do they have a new way to live, but also a good thing for the development of Mocheng."

Lu Huaiyu's eyes lit up, and a hint of darkness fell in an instant, Luo Shuangyi's idea is really good, if it is placed in another place, it may be implemented, but in this ink city......

Luo Yingxue saw the appreciation in Lu Huaiyu's eyes, and said unwillingly: "Sister, your proposal is indeed very good, but ...... After all, they are bandits, and what if they can't pay the next year's output to the court on time? And whether they will grow crops is another question, and if there is a mistake at that time, who will bear the responsibility? ”

Luo Shuangyi chuckled: "This is simple, as long as the officers and soldiers are sent to supervise them, I don't think they will make another mistake, I can teach them to plant this piece." ”

"Sister, you teach them? Sister, you have been pampered since you were a child, how can you grow crops? Luo Yingxue looked at her suspiciously, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart.

"This ...... I used to raise some food in my yard, and I read a lot of books about it, but my sister didn't come to my yard very often, so naturally she didn't know about these things. Luo Shuangyi rolled his eyes smartly, and then made up a lie to cover up the matter.

Although Luo Yingxue had some doubts, she didn't say anything.

Lu Huaiyu moved his lips, and only after a while did he speak: "Miss Luo, I'm afraid I don't know, the reason why there is a lot of wasteland in this Mocheng is not because there is no one to plant it, but because the soil here cannot grow food. ”

Luo Shuangyi was stunned, no wonder she saw a lot of wasteland along the way, it turned out that there was this reason......

It's just that the grain variety in this Mocheng is single, the soil is dry, and ordinary plants must not be able to grow, but there is a kind of food that likes this kind of soil.

"Your Royal Highness, rest assured, I have a crop here that is suitable for the perceptual soil of this place, and the yield is not low, you can give it a try!"

Speaking of this, Lu Huaiyu naturally had no reason not to let go, and waved his hand back, and those guards let go of the bandits.

Seeing that they didn't have to die, those bandits kept kowtowing to Luo Shuangyi with joy and gratitude: "Thank you, thank you Miss Luo for saving your life!" ”

Luo Shuangyi looked at them and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, their lives were saved for the time being, and then, it was up to her!

After Luo Shuangyi went back, he quickly began to prepare everything, and made a list for Lu Huaiyu, asking him to buy these agricultural fruits and fruits for her, as well as a series of tools for crops.

Lu Huaiyu looked at the items on the list, and his eyebrows frowned slightly again, there were several things on it that he didn't know, such as tomatoes and potatoes, which he had never heard of at all, and he could only send someone to investigate, what are these things?

After investigation, he learned that this is a food produced in Western countries, and this food can be eaten raw as a vegetable market or as a fruit.

However, he hadn't even seen these foods, so how did Luo Shuangyi learn about these crops? And it seems that the habits and cognition of these things are very skillful.

As far as Lu Huaiyu knows, Luo Shuangyi has never been far away, let alone to a place so far away in the West.

Lu Huaiyu rode a carriage all the way to the eastern suburbs, there was a wasteland in the eastern suburbs that Lu Huaiyu applied to the imperial court for those bandits, and during this time, Luo Shuangyi stayed in the eastern suburbs almost every day to teach the skills of those bandits to grow crops.

About half a pillar of incense time later, Lu Huaiyu arrived in the eastern suburbs, and in just a few days, the originally abandoned land has now been reclaimed, and the efficiency of this Mocheng official is not bad.

There was also a simple grass hut on the side of the field, and several grandmothers and servants were busy in it, boiling honeysuckle tea for them, Lu Huaiyu looked at the omen of the scorching sun, presumably it was made by Luo Shuangyi in order to prevent them from suffering from heat stroke.

When everyone saw Lu Huaiyu coming, they put down their work and respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince ......"

Lu Huaiyu waved his hand at them to signal them to retreat, looked around again, saw Luo Shuangyi's figure, stopped a person and asked, "What about Miss Luo?" ”

A grandmother stepped forward with her hands on her chest, stepped forward and bowed her head slightly, and replied: "Back to Your Highness, Miss is teaching those people to grow crops in the field at the moment. ”

Hearing this, Lu Huaiyu walked towards the field with slender legs, only to see a petite woman wearing a pink dress, but the wide sleeves were tightly tied to the arms, a long black hair like a waterfall, and a simple hosta was all bound behind him, and the delicate little face was illuminated by the golden sun, and two clusters of red blush appeared on the white skin, as if it was a natural decoration, and crystal beads of sweat appeared on the forehead, pure and lovely.

"Miss, is that so?"

"Miss, do you need to dig a little deeper into this pit?"

"Miss, is this potato grown like this?"

Luo Shuangyi faced those people's inquiries, not only was he not impatient at all, but he had a crescent-like smile on his face from beginning to end, patiently answering them one by one.

Luo Shuangyi picked up a knife to peel the potatoes in half, and then took the half-peeled potatoes and buried them face down in the soil, while explaining: "The potatoes must be planted like this, if the whole potato is put down and sown, even if the seedlings are sprouted, it will not take long to die, and it will not grow very well." ”

"I didn't expect you to do this."

Hearing this, Luo Shuangyi turned his head to look at Lu Huaiyu in shock, and then got up and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince ......"

"No need to be polite." Lu Huaiyu looked at the big pit on the side of the field again, turned his head to her and asked, "What is this pit for?" ”

Luo Shuangyi smiled: "This, there is a distance from the bottom of the mountain here, and there is no water spring here, it is impossible to dig a well, I will let people dig this big pit here, and then let people inject water here regularly, if there is a big drought, there is no need to look at the sky to eat." ”

Lu Huaiyu was once again amazed by Luo Shuangyi's thoughts, from pardoning those bandits, to knowledge and planting, as well as her kindness and thoughtfulness, all of which gave him an illusion that this Luo Shuangyi was really different from the previously rumored Luo Shuangyi.

Luo Shuangyi saw that he was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "How does it feel that Your Highness is coming to visit today?" ”

"Very good."

After receiving his reply, Luo Shuangyi also deepened the smile on his face.

At this time, Luo Yingxue also came here, originally she was not uncommon to come here, but when she learned that Lu Huaiyu deigned to come here, she had to order someone to drive a carriage to follow her in order to prevent Luo Shuangyi from getting close to Lu Huaiyu.

"His Royal Highness!" Luo Yingxue looked at Lu Huaiyu with admiration in her eyes and made a gesture at him.

"Hmm."

She glanced at Luo Shuangyi in a hurry, and reluctantly called her: "Sister! ”

Luo Shuangyi looked at the two of them with a smile, and then looked at the sun that was poisoning at the moment, and said to them: "The two of you should go to the grass shed to rest first, and I'll come over when I'm done with this." ”

"It's fine."

Lu Huaiyu gently turned around and walked towards the grass shed, and Luo Yingxue also followed by his side.

Luo Yingxue saw Lu Huaiyu's order Charo Shuangyi by chance last time, she raised her eyes slightly to look at him, and pursed the corners of her lips: "Your Highness, do you also think that your sister has changed a lot?" ”

Suddenly, Lu Huaiyu stopped, and his deep eyes slanted at her: "What do you want to say?" ”
