"Well, what about the land that has just been cultivated?" Chi Hang's face looked at Xu Feng seriously.

Lin Guyu stood in place and looked around, this large field was all their family, all the green seedlings as far as the eye could see, and there were many people working with their backs to the loess.

Even if he came here, Lin Guyu had never done heavy work in the field, at most he planted some vegetables and herbs in the yard.

"In order to make it easier to take care of it, I asked people to buy the land near the foot of the mountain, find someone to open up the wasteland, and apply a lot of fertilizer to it." Xu Feng said, taking Chi Hang and Lin Guyu towards the land.

Three acres of land, Lin Guyu felt that there was very little land at first, but when he saw it, he felt that it was very large, and it was estimated that this hundred catties of seeds could be planted in full.

When Chi Hang heard that Lin Guyu said that he would plant all the seeds, he asked with some concern, "Will this be too much, what if it goes bad?" โ€

"No, it won't." Lin Guyu smiled and took Chi Hang's arm, and the corners of his lips hooked up a faint smile, "It's just that the yield of planting will not be very high, and there will still be a lot of seeds, so don't worry." โ€

Forget it, it's just a hundred catties of corn, and Chi Hang didn't say anything anymore, just let people do it.

Dig a pit every other step, sprinkle two or three corn kernels into it, and then let people bury it directly with soil, Lin Guyu was a little uneasy, and looked at the three acres of land after watering, and then left with Chi Hang.

"A lot of production?" Chi Hang felt that the yield of wheat and rice was already a lot, and he planted the land for a period of time when he was very young, and then he mainly went to the mountains to hunt, and he didn't know much about farming.

"By the way, are all the people who sold corn seeds gone?" Lin Guyu felt that those who planted corn would definitely grow corn, and it would be good to invite them when the time came.

"Not yet, I heard that they won't leave here in half a month." Saying this, Chi Hang raised his eyes and looked at Xu Feng, who was standing not far away, "You go and talk to those people, and by the way, ask how to plant them." โ€

"Okay." Xu Feng said lightly, he knew in his heart that he would supervise so much land so seriously.

"That's right." Lin Guyu looked at Xu Feng with a smile, "Let Shu Qing come over and help you, aren't you tired of doing this alone?" โ€

Not allowing Xu Feng to say no, Lin Guyu opened his mouth and shouted, "Shu Qing." โ€

Xu Shuqing suddenly appeared in front of Lin Guyu, holding the long sword in his left hand, his face was as usual.

"Don't follow me, there's nothing big at home, just follow Xu Feng." Lin Guyu looked at Xu Feng with a smile in his eyebrows.

Xu Feng was not allowed to refuse, Lin Guyu hurriedly took Chi Hang's hand and left.

The carriage sped along the path.

Chi Hang turned his head to look at Lin Guyu and asked with a puzzled expression, "Why did you run so fast?" โ€

"Otherwise, wait for Xu Shuqing to be driven away by him?" Lin Guyu glanced at Chi Hang beside him, and said with a serious face, "Although Xu Feng said that he didn't want to get married, but we didn't force him to get married, how can the two of them know if it's suitable if they don't try, I think Shu Qing is a good girl, and it's quite suitable to be with Xu Feng." โ€

Hearing Lin Guyu say this, Chi Hang shook his head helplessly, forget it, it's better for him not to say anything.

Lin Guyu felt that it was good to have a capable person like Xu Feng in the family, as long as he told Xu Feng about anything, Xu Feng would be able to do it quickly, saving a lot of trouble.

When the two of them returned home, they heard about the peaceful coexistence of the imperial court and the Xiongnu, and also heard that the border market was going to be reopened.

The opening of the border market means that the two sides can communicate with each other.

When Chi Hang heard the news, he nodded lightly and said to Lin Guyu, "You rest early tonight, and I'll think about how to keep the pipe warm." โ€

"Isn't it just like people wearing clothes?" Lin Guyu really didn't understand, why did Chi Hang still think about it, and said lightly, "When the time comes, it will be directly made into a double-layer pipe, with some cotton in the middle, and the outermost piece will be surrounded by straw, won't it keep warm?" โ€

Chi Hang looked at Lin Guyu dumbfounded, and after thinking about it carefully, it was okay to do this.

"Isn't that expensive?" Chi Hang thought that he should use the least amount of money to make the best thermal pipe.

"Isn't it to make money from the Huns?" Lin Gu Yufeng said lightly, anyway, their family is short of money, it is always good to make more money, "Anyway, it's not our own money, it's cold over there, and many people wear fur coats in winter, I didn't say it's good to stuff wool into it." โ€

As he spoke, the expression on Lin Guyu's face became more serious, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, and there was a faint smile on his face, "It's not bad to replace cotton with its practical wool." โ€

"Why don't we buy more wool and come back, and when the time comes, we will make thick clothes and stuff wool into them, it will definitely be very comfortable." The corners of Lin Guyu's mouth couldn't help but hook, "But it's better to stuff cotton inside the tube, not to mention the space, it's still warm, and there will be no problem if there is a layer outside." โ€

It's really warm, but the cost is really large.

Early the next morning, as soon as the two of them woke up, they heard Xiaoxue say that Prince Bagen was coming.

After simply packing up and preparing to make breakfast, he asked Bagen to talk to Chi Hang about business.

Lin Guyu made breakfast, and saw Chi Hang coming in from outside with Bagen.

The expression on Lin Guyu's face paused slightly, and he looked at Chi Hang in surprise, and before he could remember to speak, Bagen was already sitting at the table.

"This is the first time I've had breakfast like this." Bagen looked at the table full of food very curiously, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said with a smile, "You're welcome, I'll eat first." โ€

As he spoke, Bagan started eating directly.

Lin Guyu and Chi Hang stood aside, watching Bagen eat quickly alone, and the two glanced at each other, and then slowly sat down at the table.

"It tastes good." Bagan's mouth was stuffed to the brim, and he said with a serious face.

"Eat more if you like." The person who came was a guest, Lin Guyu said politely.

"I know." Bagen was not polite at all, and sat there and ate quietly.

Lin Guyu handed the chopsticks to Chi Hang, asked him to add an extra pair of chopsticks, and then began to eat.

Bagen ate breakfast very quickly, and after eating, he wiped his lips with his sleeve and said very heroically, "It tastes good." โ€

Lin Guyu looked at Bagan's appearance, smiled, and didn't speak.

"I'm here to say goodbye." Bagen wanted to kill the two of them at the beginning, and if it wasn't for Chi Hang's attack on them, he wouldn't have been locked up in prison for so long.

But after really coming into contact with these two people, Bagan didn't have those thoughts, and he was a little envious of the two of them.

"Walk slowly." Chi Hang said lightly.

"I thought we were friends." When Bagan heard Chi Hang say that, he was a little unhappy, and he said that he wanted to leave, but they didn't want to stay.

"If it's not a friend, you think I'm going to let you come to dinner?" Chi Hangfeng said lightly, looking at the table full of food, "There are few people in this world who can eat the food cooked by my mother, I didn't ask you for food for the sake of my friends." โ€

Bagen listened to this very pleasantly, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said slowly, "I won't tell you, by the way, hurry up and make the toilet, since we are friends, sell it to us cheaper." โ€

"That's not going to work." Chi Hang said righteously, "I'm a businessman, if I don't make money, how can I act, but if you want to use a blocked toilet, I have nothing to say." โ€

Hearing Chi Hang say this, Bagan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "It's good to be cheaper." โ€

"Okay." Chi Hang agreed absentmindedly, thinking that the price would still be open to him at that time.

"By the way, be careful of the three princes." The expression on Bagen's face gradually became serious, "The situation on your side is actually quite chaotic, if it weren't for you, the court would be our khan's." โ€

"Then why are you still asking for peace?" Lin Guyu looked at Bagen in confusion and asked slowly.

Bagan just smiled faintly, "Because of Naren, but since Naren doesn't want to go back, then forget it, my only sister is gone, and I don't have the energy to do anything else now, the only thing I want to do is to catch the murderer who killed my sister." โ€

After sending Bagen away, Lin Guyu and Chi Hang went to ponder the toilet.

Looking at the two pipes ready to be taken to them, Lin Guyu paused to stuff cotton into them, and looked at Chi Hang hesitantly, "Brother Chi Hang, you say, how about if we directly wrap the outside of the pipe with a layer of soil?" โ€

"This pipe was originally buried in the ground." Chi Hang said lightly, his eyes swept over Lin Guyu's face, "I'm afraid that the soil is not good, and we need something else, let's try cotton first, if cotton doesn't work, then change to something else." โ€

"Oh." Lin Guyu thought about it, the pipe was hidden in the dirt, and it didn't make a difference at all.

Within ten days, Xu Feng sent someone to say that the corn in the field had grown.

Lin Guyu excitedly pulled Chi Hang to the field, sitting in the rickety carriage, Chi Hang was a little worried, "Is the interval between corn seeds so large?" โ€

"It's better to have a larger interval," Lin Guyu smiled and took Chi Hang's arm, even if he didn't farm himself in modern times, he also knew that corn grows tall, and if it is too close, it will not absorb enough nutrients, and even there will be not enough space to grow.

Corn is usually planted at the end of April and is almost ready to be harvested by August.

When he arrived in the field, Chi Hang looked at the three or four seedlings growing in a pit, and shook his head with some headaches, and the wheat and rice on the side were close together.

Xu Feng has been staying in the ground during this time, and even if he stands in the shade of a tree on weekdays, it is a lot darker.

"Madam, is this seedling too loosely planted?" Xu Feng saw that the distance between them was indeed a bit large, and there were only two or three seedlings in each pit, so how many crops were planted in this acre of land, and the harvest would definitely be even less.
