She has seen the soil quality of those fields, which is very suitable for growing potatoes - in her previous life, her father was doing agricultural research, and he specialized in potatoes, and she knew a little bit about it.

As for sweet potatoes, soybeans, and mung beans, they are not picky. If there is a water source, it will definitely grow well.

Lu Zhan thought for a while and said with a smile: "I don't think there's any need to be in such a hurry, anyway, it's too late to plant anything this year, so it's better to wait until the second half of the year!" After all, can potatoes and sweet potatoes really be made into vermicelli? Now that you have said it, He County's order may not be believed. Besides, it was better to ask He San to buy the land where the workshop was built first! ”

Qiao Xiaoru couldn't help but laugh, nodded and thought deeply: "You're right, I'm too anxious." ”

This is a big deal, and without strong evidence, it is difficult to convince people by just saying it, and it is too laborious.

As long as the sweet potato flour and potato flour are made and brought to the He County Order, he will not believe it.

Moreover, when Lu Zhan said this, she was really a little drumming in her heart, after all, she only remembered how to make this sweet potato flour and potato flour by hand, and she had to go home first to sort it all out.

And the land used to build the workshop, if you don't buy it first, and when you are sure that you can make fans, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people vying to buy it, and the price will definitely be raised.

Lu Zhan said again: "I can suggest that He County Order and let him persuade those who have bought land to dig a few small lakes to store water, who knows when the dry season will come?" So many families have moved to this land, and if the water flow is cut off, I am afraid that it will cause public anger. ”

"It's time to talk about it." Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile.

Afterwards, she did not go to see He County's order, but asked Dugu Yuzhang's entourage to help carry the words.

It is suggested that He County order people to dig some lakes and ponds, which can store water for emergencies and improve the natural environment; It is also suggested that it is best to leave a slightly wider place next to the canal, plant more trees, and also maintain water and soil, and after a few years, underground may be able to grow groundwater, with a self-sufficient water source, it is better than relying on water diversion.

He Xianling was happy and ashamed, discussed with the master, praised again and again, and said with a smile, no wonder Dugu Gongzi mentioned Qiao Niangzi's attitude was very respectful, Qiao Niangzi really had something outstanding.

These proposals are necessary.

He County ordered Mrs. He to send two gifts to Qiao Xiaoru to express her gratitude, one time was Shi Xin melons and fruits, and the other time was a good dish cooked by the chef in the county kitchen.

Although Mrs. He felt that He County Ling was a little too close to Qiao Xiaoru and his family, she didn't have to argue with him about these trivial matters, so she had to order someone to do the same.

Qiao Xiaoru smiled at Lu Zhan and said, "He County Ling is a kind person, are you relieved now?" ”

Lu Zhan smiled silently.

Within two days, I really heard about the rich squires who had bought the land.

Because of the lack of water and the lack of stones and soil, it is still easy to buy two pieces of land of more than ten or twenty acres outside the city. He San quickly got things done.

Two plots of land, one in the south of the city and the other in the east of the city, are both twenty acres in size.

Qiao Xiaoru and Lu Zhan went to see it, expressed their satisfaction, and settled down.

It's just that the house can't buy ready-made, only a dilapidated house was bought, the roof was covered with grass, and the doors and windows were crooked.

Qiao Xiaoru looked at the place is not small, not only with a garden, but also a pond the size of two or three points in the garden, although it is dilapidated now, it will naturally change greatly after it is built.

So he bought it and hired people to tear it down and rebuild it.

He Xianling kept an eye on it this time, and knew that Qiao Xiaoru had bought a house and a wasteland outside the city, so he asked the master to come to the door to ask.

Although Qiao Xiaoru didn't plan to tell He County Ling now, since He County Ling sent someone to ask, he couldn't help but say it, so he said everything with a smile.

Master's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing this, you must know that sweet potatoes and potatoes have been very common in the Dahua Dynasty, and these two things are indispensable to fill your stomach in a famine year.

However, the way to eat both of these things is too monotonous, that is, it is limited to filling the stomach.

If it can really be made into vermicelli, it is equivalent to becoming a staple food at a higher level, which is a great contribution to the national economy and people's livelihood.

If this great merit appears in the territory governed by the He County Order, then it will naturally be his political achievement, and when his term expires in two years, his promotion will be stable.

If he takes advantage of this to gain the appreciation of the big figures in the DPRK and China, he will have a bright future.

"Can these sweet potatoes and potatoes really be made into vermicelli or something? Lady Joe wasn't joking, was she? Oh, I don't mean anything else, but I've never seen it before, so I can't help but ask curiously. ”

Master Qiang pressed down the ecstasy and excitement in his heart, but a pair of eyes burned uncontrollably, and looked at Qiao Xiaoru nervously.

Lu Zhan said with a smile: "My lady also suddenly had such an idea, I think I can give it a try, but I can't say whether it will succeed." As for buying those lands outside the city, take precautions, even if you can't make sweet potato flour and potato flour in the future, you can make something else, don't you say? ”

Qiao Xiaoru also smiled and nodded yes.

Rao is like this, the master is still churning in his heart and is difficult to calm down, knowing that he can't ask anything anymore, he hurriedly said goodbye with a few polite words, and hurriedly reported the matter to He County Ling 1510 when he returned to the yamen.

He Xianling was so excited that he suddenly stood up from his chair, opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "What did you say?" In those ordinary days, most of the potatoes and sweet potatoes used to feed livestock can be made into vermicelli noodles and grain? It's - it's not a joke, is it? ”

"Qiao Niangzi and Lu Gongzi didn't talk about it all, but my lord, think about it, if this thing is really successful, it will be a great credit!"

He Xianling's eyes sparkled, and he kept thinking in his heart.

Not only is it a great achievement, but it can also leave a name in history and be passed down through the ages.

Dugu Gongzi admires Qiao Niangzi very much, and the persimmon cake in Suiyun County is made by her, according to Dugu Gongzi, tea oil can also be made this year.

There are also roast duck and roast goose, all kinds of pickles and side dishes that look ordinary but no one has made them before, Qiao Niangzi was originally a clever person, she could make so many things that others couldn't do and couldn't think of, why can't this sweet potato flour and potato flour be made?

He Xianling couldn't sit still, rubbed his hands and said, "You go now-no, no, it's not early, and it's too eager." Early tomorrow morning, you go and invite Mrs. Qiao and her wife to the official's house as guests, and tomorrow the Japanese official will have to ask carefully! ”

He Xianling had already made up his mind in his heart, even if Qiao Niangzi needed his help, he would definitely do his best to provide and support.
