Within two days of returning to Suzhou from Jinling, Lin Ruhai was in office normally! In the spring of this year, Lin Ruhai asked Hua Chong to investigate the borderless places that the government was responsible for taking care of. Lin Ruhai plans to use both the mountains and slopes to grow mulberry trees and silkworms, and those low-lying marshes that are far away from the water source will be reclaimed for rice. Suzhou is close to the east shore of Taihu Lake, and Lin Ruhai feels that Suzhou has so much water that it is completely possible to dig those low-lying quags into ponds, and then raise fish and shrimp, crabs and river mussels in the ponds, and can also plant some lotus roots.

The freshwater pearls produced in Taihu Lake are round and full in texture, and the color is bright and bright. In an ancient book collected in Jia Min's space, Lin Ruhai learned a method of cultivating river mussels, which can raise better quality pearls, which can not only save the life of river mussels and take out pearls, but also make river mussels circulate production, which can increase the production of pearls by several times. Lin Ruhai also learned from the book that there are fish, shrimp, crabs, pearls, and lotus roots in a pond, and so many things together can make them grow better and produce more! Lin Ruhai is also skeptical, but he wants to practice, if he can succeed, then the life of the people in Suzhou will be better, and the court will be able to earn more. Even, Lin Ruhai plans that if the pond aquaculture is successful, he will promote this breeding method to the entire Jiangnan in the future.

This year is the first year, and Lin Ruhai plans to start by planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms. Lin Ruhai specially took out a pen of money to buy mulberry seedlings, as for who to find to work, Lin Ruhai was a little entangled at first, if you invite farmers to work, I am afraid that it will affect their own work, after all, this is a long-term work, and I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the people. But where do you want to find someone?

Just when Lin Ruhai was worried, Hua Chong gave him an idea, "Master, you can pack these guys out!" Divide the land into equal parts, contract to the family, the family must work in accordance with the requirements of the government, by our government to send people to supervise, and wait until the field has an interest, it will be distributed to the people who have contracted the land 30%, this is actually the same as the tenant landlord's field is the same reason, and the tenant government's land does not have to pay taxes, the people can also earn more, I believe that as long as the news is released, there will be many people willing to tenant the land of the government! ”

As soon as Lin Ruhai heard that it was indeed a good idea, he immediately asked people to issue a notice.

"This time I have picked up a treasure, this Hua Chong is indeed a capable person, with his help, I can be a lot easier!" In the evening, Lin Ruhai sighed with Jia Min.

"After all, Mr. Hua grew up in the countryside and knows more about the people than his husband, and the way he thinks is indeed more appropriate!"

"I had planned to reclaim some of the low-lying marshes into rice paddies and some into ponds for fish, shrimp, crabs, mussels, and lotus roots, but I wasn't sure if the method described in the book would work. So I thought about making some of the Borderlands productive first, and then trying slowly, if it didn't work, it wouldn't be criticized! ”

Jia Min thought for a moment and said, "Husband, you can try to dig a pond to raise those things now!" There is a low-lying place in my village, and I have heard the head of the village mention it once, and the place is so low that it will accumulate water every year during the rainy season, and it will dry up in autumn and winter. I also tried to grow rice before, but when the rainy season came, all the rice was drowned, so the land has been placed there like that, and it is not very large, about seven or eight acres in size. ”

Lin Ruhai's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Really! That's really great, so that if you succeed in your Zhuangzi, you can promote it in your name, and I can still give you credit, and I won't say three or four! ”

Jia Min glanced at Lin Ruhai and said, "Could it be that you originally planned to invite the emperor yourself?" ”

"If it really happens, I plan to promote this method to the entire Jiangnan, and even if I don't ask for credit, others will think that I am asking for credit!" Lin Ruhai shook his head helplessly.

"Then I'll ask someone to call Zhuang Tou over tomorrow, and then you can talk to him in detail. Or simply go directly to my dowry Zhuangzi, you go and see the land, or directly guide them to work! ”

"Hmmm! Min'er's words also reminded me that in the future, I should take time to go down more to observe the people's feelings, and always doing things behind closed doors will not really help the people live a prosperous life. ”

Jia Min knew that Lin Ruhai was a good official with the people in his heart, so he would naturally support him more and help him, "When the weather warms up in spring, we can go to Zhuangzi to live for two days, I will take Lang'er to play, and my husband can go to the fields for a walk, and you can also talk more with those farmers." ”

"Good! Kill two birds with one stone, just listen to Min'er! By the way, speaking of Lang'er, it will be Lang'er's first birthday in a few days. He is our eldest son, and this first birthday party must be a big one! ”

"I'm about to discuss this matter with my husband, this is my list of guests, husband to see what's wrong?" Jia Min took out a list of guests from the drawer of the dresser and showed it to Lin Ruhai.

"This is the first time we have held a banquet at home since we arrived in Suzhou, and we have to work hard for Min'er. Of course, you must not work too hard, if you tell your subordinates to do something, you can just sit in command. If you can't get busy, I'll let Hua Chong come over and help for a few days! Lin Ruhai said and took the list of guests handed over by Jia Min.

Lin Ruhai looked at it carefully, pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think the rest is a problem, but let's give Zhen Yingjia and Yan Wang the next post!" ”

"This ...... Is it appropriate? None of them are in Suzhou! Jia Min asked with a frown.

"It's okay, since I gave the invitation, I'm sure they'll come! And now we have to have them in our house at the same time! ”

Why is that? Could it be that you are afraid that the emperor will be suspicious of you? ”

"I'm not afraid that the emperor will be suspicious of me, I'm afraid that Zhen Yingjia and King Yan will suspect that I am each other's people! I'm not afraid of Zhen Yingjia's situation, it's just that King Yan is too straight, and he is a little stubborn, if he doesn't eliminate his suspicions, I'm afraid he will do something impulsively! ”

Jia Min thought for a while and nodded, "I know, I will let Lin Dayong personally go to Jinling!" We didn't go to Yanwang's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, will he ......?"

"That's nothing! Yan Wangfu didn't have a housewife, he never let people go to his house to send New Year's gifts or anything, and it was nothing if we didn't go! ”
