If there is little water to survive, let the tree go.

With less watering, you can live more with other things, and the important thing is to take care of the vegetables in the field.

Lin Shuqing is not the only one who is anxious at this time, and the most urgent is Yu Zhongpei, who is in the county government.

Xigui County was originally a small place, and the emperor was far away, and few people noticed this.

Since the last fertilizer recipe became famous, many people have to pay attention to this. Officials were specially sent to supervise the spring ploughing, distribute seeds to the people, and look forward to the harvest that followed.

If the harvest is good, it can become his political achievement.

However, if it doesn't rain, it will be difficult for the crops in the field to grow.

Although water can still be used for irrigation, how long can you survive if it doesn't rain?

Yu Zhongpei sat in the county office, and there were already a lot of county chronicles in front of him, as well as books specializing in agricultural affairs.

He flipped through it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.

It only talked about farming, not about the lack of water.

After thinking about it, Yu Zhongpei couldn't sit still, so he decided to go outside for a while, and went back to the backyard to change his official uniform.

"Young Master, where are you going today?" The old man who was waiting on the side asked.

The young master of his family is a quiet character, and he rarely takes the initiative to go out. In addition, he is busy with official business every day, and he spends more time in the county office to deal with official documents and read books.

"The weather is good, I'll go out for a walk." Yu Zhongpei said casually.

"When will the young master come back......

“… I went out for a casual walk and came back before dark. Yu Zhongpei left this sentence and walked away.

said that he was going out for a walk, but this person was walking on a horse, and before he knew it, he came to Pingnanpo.

Yu Zhongpei rode a horse and looked at the farmland here, much better than what he saw on the road.

The wheat here has just been harvested, and many places in the wheat fields are covered with golden stalks. Some farmers burn wheat stalks in their fields to make fertilizer for plant ash.

There is also a lot of grain growing in the fields here, and the farmers are also working hard to carry large buckets of water and sprinkle water into the fields.

Even though Yu Zhongpei didn't know where the Lin family's courtyard was, he still followed the caravan to the tofu factory.

There are many more merchants here than in the county.

There are traders with weapons who come and go from north to south, as well as delivery men who walk the streets and alleys with flat burdens on their backs, and women who work hard to make a living with bamboo buildings and children on their backs.

Yu Zhongpei went to look at the people at the window again, all dressed neatly, and the tofu in the store was also neatly placed and white.

Compared to the county, it is much more prosperous.

There were also other merchants who were selling on the spot, exchanging various items with the merchants who came and went.

Yu Zhongpei rode a horse and stood in place for a while, and a young man with sharp eyebrows immediately approached him.

"This gentleman, but you just came to our Pingnan slope? Are you here to buy tofu? ”

"You have to queue up to buy tofu here, why don't I take you elsewhere, I know that the price of tofu sold in a place is cheaper than here, and you can get bean curd when you buy tofu!"

"You haven't tasted fresh bean curd, but it tastes great with salt......

The young man stood in front of Yu Zhongpei and began to blow his own tofu and bean curd, to the effect that he asked Yu Zhongpei to buy it at his house.

After all, you don't have to wait in line to get something else to eat.

Yu Zhongpei looked around, there were many such teenagers.

He was also surrounded by those merchants, smiling and persuading.

"I heard that there is a school in Pingnanpo that allows the teenagers in the village to go to school for free, is there such a thing?" Yu Zhongpei said thoughtfully.

The young man in front of the horse looked awkward as if he had heard something strange.

"Yes, it's on the other side of the hill, if you want to see it, I'll take you there?" The young man smiled and laughed.

"If you do, why don't you go to school and start a solicitation business here?" Yu Zhongpei was puzzled.

At this age, it's better to go to school than to do other jobs outside.

Hearing this, the smile on the young man's face became a little bitter.

"Reading also scores people! In the past, I thought that reading was something that only rich people could do, and only when the family had money could they send their children to study. Now I know that not everyone can go to school. ”

"I've been sitting in the school for so long, from morning to night, reading some repetitive words with my husband all day long, and my butt is almost glued to the stool, I really can't sit still."

"I begged my parents not to let me study, just help the family do some work, but I can't still have a younger brother at home, I have learned hundreds of words, and I can write my own name."

"Don't ask about it, won't you?"

Yu Zhongpei glanced at a few teenagers around him, some were old, some were still young, I don't know if they all came here to do the business of soliciting customers because they couldn't sit still in the school.

Yu Zhongpei could only shake his head and run this regret to the back of his mind.

There are still many children in the city who want to go to school and don't have this opportunity.

The children here have such an opportunity, but they don't know how to take advantage of it.

Left and right, there is no perfect thing in the world.

After talking about his own affairs, the young man changed his words and talked about the tofu business again.

"Mr. here, do you want to go and see our tofu, if you think it's good, you will buy more and send you a basket to fill the tofu!"

The young man tirelessly recommended his own tofu, and he saw that this person came empty-handed, and he must not be prepared, so he said intimately.

"I'm not here to buy tofu. Where is Miss Lin Shuqing Lin from your village, take me to see it. Yu Zhongpei said, throwing a broken piece of silver into the young man's arms.

The young man, who was still looking bitter, immediately smiled when he saw this silver.

It's easy to say if you have silver, you can do anything with silver, maybe this silver can become your own private money.

The young man thought happily, and took Yu Zhongpei to the field.

"Sir, I know this person, she has been running into the field lately, and I saw her go into the field in the morning, so I will take you there."

When Yu Zhongpei arrived, what he saw was Lin Shuqing, who was holding a strange small wooden board with some paper on it, and quickly sketched with charcoal in his hand.

Look, the appearance is a little weird.

But seeing Lin Shuqing like this, he was suddenly convinced a lot.

He stepped forward to greet him.

"Miss Lin, what are you busy with?" Yu Zhongpei walked up to her and said, the horse was led by him to the tree at the edge of the field.

Lin Shuqing was startled by the sudden voice behind her, and turned around to find that it was Yu Zhongpei.

Hurriedly picked up the board and covered the paper on it.

What she wrote was too strange, and it was better not to let outsiders see it.

She is not worried about the illiterate people in the village, she is worried about these literate people.

When Yu Zhongpei saw Lin Shuqing's appearance, he thought he had scared her, and stepped forward to apologize.

"I've offended the girl, and if it's rude, I'll give the girl a lot of hair."
