Chapter 35: Misfortune
Xiao Yilin frowned when he listened to the conversation between the two subordinates, and he was not very happy in his heart, "Feng Zhi, you watch more, don't let those villagers with crooked ideas calculate Chu Gongzi."
Where is a person like Chu Gongzi who is medically skilled, young and promising, and quick-witted can be worthy of those vulgar fans in the village. In the future, I will find a gentle and virtuous girl for Chu Gongzi with a comparable family background. ”
Xiao Yilin felt that the vulgar country girls in the village were rationed to the teenagers, and they felt that they had insulted the teenagers. He should be matched with the best woman in the world who is both talented and beautiful.
On the first day of land reclamation, the most populous people cleaned up the three acres of wasteland in the evening.
After Jingyi passed the inspection, he paid the family 90 wen on the spot.
The family was overjoyed to see that they had earned 90 yuan a day, and they set up another five acres of land on the spot to continue to open up the wasteland.
The other people saw that they had really finished their salaries, and they were all working a lot faster.
On the first day, some people sorted out their own wasteland one after another, and Jingyi also paid his wages one after another.
On the first day, almost a hundred acres of wasteland were opened. The villagers saw that they had really made money, and the next day each family asked for a larger area.
Jingyi does not need to watch the area of land reclamation, but just check whether the field is qualified and settle the wages in the evening.
At the same time, the 100 acres of fertile land that Jing Yi bought was also turned over, and then some cabbage, radish, spinach and other vegetables were planted. In particular, Chinese cabbage and radish are commonly eaten vegetables in winter, and they are the most grown.
This year, it is definitely not possible to grow grain, and you can harvest some by planting some vegetables.
Jing Yi asked the village chief, although the winter here is not so cold, but it will freeze at the coldest time. That means the temperature is already below zero. Although the time is short, farming is unbearable. So growing food doesn't work.
The growth cycle of vegetables is short, especially some leafy vegetables can be eaten as long as the leaves are almost long, and there is no big problem.
Jingyi grows Chinese cabbage and radish to prepare for kimchi, pickles and so on in winter. However, Jing Yi was a little deflated when he thought of the lack of chili peppers here, although he could make other flavors of kimchi or sauerkraut, but without chili peppers, it was like having no soul. It seems that we still have to find the pepper as soon as possible.
When the land is sorted out, Jingyi has to let people dig ditches, and then wash out the salinity in the saline-alkali land with water to reduce the salinity of the land.
In order to fill the fields with water, in addition to digging ditches, it is necessary to make waterwheels.
In her previous life, Jingyi had seen waterwheels in some scenic spots in the south, and she also understood its principles, and she had also seen the introduction of those traditional waterwheels and simple drawings.
When he got home, Jingyi took out the white paper, and got a thin wooden branch from the kitchen to burn the pot as charcoal, recalling the drawings he saw in his previous life, and drew little by little.
After repeated revisions, Jing Yi took the drawings and went to find Village Chief Wang.
When he arrived at Village Chief Wang's house, Jingyi asked, "Uncle Wang, is there a carpenter in our village who has very good skills?" I want to build a few waterwheels. ”
Wang Xuhuai asked, "Water wheel? That's what it is. ”
"The water from the river can be transferred to the canal through a waterwheel, and then it can be followed along the canal to the fields. The wasteland is saline, and I'm going to wash the salt out of the field with water so that I can grow some saline-tolerant crops. ”
Wang Xuhuai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly, "Is there really such a thing?" ”
Jing Yi took out the drawings and said: "I have already drawn the drawings, I will make one first to try, if it doesn't work, then improve, the waterwheel is definitely no problem."
With the waterwheel, it will be much easier for other people in our village to irrigate their fields.
Of course, Wang Xuhuai hopes that this waterwheel can be made, "Wang Dalin of our village is a carpenter, you can let him try it." ”
Wang Dalin's family also participated in the reclamation, and Wang Xuhuai asked a village child to call Wang Dalin back and tell him about making water wheels.
This is a technical job that must make more money than clearing wasteland, so Wang Dalin took over this work, let the rest of the family continue to open up the wasteland, and let the eldest son, who also has some skills, make water wheels with him.
This waterwheel is a fresh object, and if it can really be used to irrigate the fields, it will really solve a big problem.
Jing Yi bought back the best wood and handed it to Wang Dalin to make a water wheel, and she would also go to Wang's house from time to time to have a look.
Feng Zhi went to the wasteland from time to time to take a look, and returned to his own prince and sighed: "Gongzi Chu is really smart, the settlement is based on whose family has opened a few acres, so that no one is lazy, and Gongzi Chu will not spend money in vain." It is estimated that more than 1,000 acres of land can be sorted out in ten days. Young Master Chu is really powerful. ”
Xiao Yilin, who was lying on a recliner in the courtyard basking in the sun, said: "Young Master Chu understands people's hearts very well, and his method can mobilize people's enthusiasm to the greatest extent. ”
When Xiao Yilin was enjoying the daylight, suddenly a secret guard appeared in front of Xiao Yilin, knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord Wang, the chief manager has received news that King Xuan is rushing to our Huizhou Mansion after the disaster relief in Yuezhou Mansion, and it will arrive in two days at most, and the chief manager asks you to return to the house as soon as possible." ”
When Gu Yu heard this, he felt like he was facing a great enemy, "Lord Wang, this time King Xuan must have bad intentions, we have to make plans in advance." Don't let him find out that your body is much better and hopefully healed. ”
King Xuan Xiao Yitai is the eldest prince of the current emperor, and his mother is the concubine Lu of the current emperor. King Xuan has always coveted the throne.
When he assassinated Xiao Yilin and poisoned Xiao Yilin, King Xuan had a part. Therefore, the people of Jingwangfu hated him to the core. But there is no conclusive evidence, and because of his identity, I can't do anything about him.
Xiao Yilin's eyes flashed when he heard the words of the dark guard, his face was slightly gloomy, and his brows gradually wrinkled, his already thin and disfigured face had grown a little flesh in the past few days, and it looked no longer so skinny, making his already good-looking face more handsome as jade.
Xiao Yilin knew he couldn't stay here any longer. He came here to keep it secret, he must not let those people know that Chu Jingyan was treating him, and even completely healed his body.
If those people knew about it, not only would Chu Jingyan's family be in danger, but those people would also attack him again.
He must now keep his head in good shape and completely heal his body before he can do what he wants. Without a good body, everything else is empty talk.
Xiao Yilin pondered for a while and said, "Feng Zhi, you go and get Gongzi Chu back, Gu Yu, you pack your things, let's go back." ”
Gu Yu frowned when he heard this, "Lord Wang, your body has just improved a little, will you waste all your efforts when you go back at this time?" ”
Xiao Yilin said: "Get Master Chu back and ask him what he said." ”
When Feng Zhi heard this, he hurriedly went to find someone.
Gu Yu hurriedly went back to the room to pack the things they were going to take away.
