The encyclopedia of agriculture records the ancient method of improving saline-alkali land, also known as the method of water diversion and salt washing.

In short, it is to build embankments and weirs, dig ditches, and divert water to wash the soil, so that the surface salt is dissolved in the water to infiltrate or discharge.

There is a river in the coastal county, and the nearest branch of it is ten miles away from Luoshan Village, and this water can be drawn from here.

Su Mo informed the village chief in detail of the ancient method and his own ideas.

The village chief sat in his chair, pensive, fingertips rubbing his teacup.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, this ditch digging is not a trivial matter, they are just ordinary people, how can they have this ability?

"It's a big matter, Su, I want to report this law to the county magistrate, are you willing?"

Su Mo had already secretly calculated it when he mentioned it to the village chief.

This ancient method can be adapted, and the diversion of water can be replaced by the storage of rainwater, which is also feasible.

However, it is impossible for others to ignore the improvement of saline-alkali land and let crops grow in fields that were originally barren, and the government will definitely send people to investigate at that time.

At that time, under the imperial power, she will be passive.

It is better to take the initiative to report, the county magistrate who left and right this coastal county is not a mediocre person, and the village chief is also a fair person.

At that time, the improvement of saline-alkali land will be successful, and if it is small, it will make a good impression in front of the county order, and if it is large, it will make a good impression in front of the officials.

Now this family is not strong enough, and Su Mo is not greedy, no matter which one it is, it will be beneficial and harmless to her.

"Naturally, yes.

It's just that it's not sure whether this method will be useful or not.

If you report it, can you propose to use my fifteen acres of land for experiments first?

If it is effective, let's promote it again, and save everyone from making the big guy happy. ”

"It's good that you can think so."

Su Mo's words made the village chief very pleased, and he took a sip of tea to moisten his somewhat plucked lips.

Then he raised his eyes and looked out of the house, the scorching sun poured down, and the wind blew, and a wave of heat rushed in his face.

"Without further ado, I'll go to the county government and report the news to the county magistrate."

After a while, the ox cart should go to the county seat, don't look at Chen Yongwen is the head of a village, and he didn't buy an ox cart at home.

It's not that the poor can't afford it, but the village doesn't farm the land, so naturally it can't use cattle.

In addition to daily expenses, almost all of the money earned by the people in this village is used on fishing boats and fishing nets.

The village chief stood up and called out to Hui Niang, asking her to help pack up her things and prepare to go to the village to make an ox cart.

Seeing this, Su Mo made a statement of resignation.

"It's going to be lunch soon."

Hui Niang picked up the teapot and asked suspiciously.

"What are you doing in the county?"

"A big event, a big event related to the future of our Luoshan Village!"

The village chief subconsciously picked up his crutches, went into the room to get some broken silver, and left in a hurry after dropping a word.

Liuhuiniang stood in place, confused.

What's the big deal, you don't even eat?

What is the situation on the village chief's side, Su Mo doesn't worry about it, after all, this matter is on the agenda, it is enough.

After lunch, after the three children had taken a nap, she went up the hill to cut bamboo.

This time, Su Mo was fully prepared, and wrapped his hands with strips of cloth in advance, so that he was not afraid of being bored, and he did not have to worry about the hemp rope handle being worn out.

The bamboo was cut a little too much, but fortunately she opened up a new road, and walked three times back and forth directly from the bamboo forest to the old house, but it was only three quarters of an hour.

She piled the bamboo on the side, intending to make another bamboo bed.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian will grow up sooner or later, and they need private space and multiple beds, so they don't have to be crammed into one room anymore.

As for Gu Xingnian, she is still young and can't do without people, so she will sleep with her first, and when she is more courageous and can be independent, she will make a wooden bed and let Gu Xingnian move to the West Wing to live.

There are no relatives in the left and right Gu family, and there is no need for guest rooms.

As for the extra bamboo, keep it for fences.

I've done it once, and there's a carpentry book. This time it can be said that it is handy.

The clouds on the horizon are gradually dyed by the glow of the sun, showing a brilliant pink, like a dream.

After squatting for a long time, it was inevitable that there was some backache, Su Mo stood up, rubbed his lower back, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.

The bamboo bed is ready.

She sanded off the burrs, washed them with water again, and dragged them into the yard to dry.

The three children were all in the study, Su Mo took a look over, and saw Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian sitting obediently and literacy, and the old mother's relief swelled inexplicably in his heart.

She silently closed the door and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, lay on the table, and yawned a few times.

Gu Jinnian looked at the book without changing his face: "Do what you say, otherwise I'll tell her." ”

"Got it!"

Gu Ping'an was like a ruthless nodding machine.

"Isn't it just a bed, I'm guaranteed to be yours."

My younger brother is really stupid to read, don't ask for the old one if it's new.

Thinking that he was going to have a new bamboo bed, Gu Ping'an grinned, and even the big words in front of him felt pleasing to the eye.

Gu Xingnian's little head didn't think so much, she sniffed her nose, smelled the smell of oil smoke from the kitchen, and rubbed her stomach with her little hands.

I'm so hungry~ I don't know what to eat tonight.

The small theater in the study Su Mo didn't know, she cut the potatoes, and thought in her heart that she would get up early tomorrow and plant the watermelons.

Then go to the county to buy some chicks and ducklings, as well as the ingredients to be used for the banquet the day after tomorrow.

With money in his hand, Su Mo can be said to be more and more energetic, and he is full of plans for his future life.

Dinner was quickly ready, and Su went to the hall with the dishes, and when he passed by the study, he pushed the door open.

"It's time to eat."

"Here we are."

Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian quickly got out of their chairs.

Gu Jinnian sandwiched the paper in the book, put it on one side, and then got up.

In the evening, only one dish was made, potato stewed pork ribs.

The pork ribs are soft and delicious, and the potatoes are soft and delicious, which is Gu Xingnian's favorite.

The little guy refused to be fed by Su Mo, holding a spoon in his right hand, a mouthful of potatoes and a mouthful of rice, pinching the ribs in his left hand, taking a bite from time to time, and the amount of food was quite rhythmic to that of Su Mo.

The bowls that Su Mo bought were all big sea bowls, Gu Jinnian ate quickly, and he ate well, so he put down the bowl after eating, sat on the chair and waited for Su Mo's assessment.

In comparison, Gu Ping'an's appearance was slightly rude, but Su Mo didn't care, after all, his eating appearance was not much better.

Gu Xingnian and Gu Ping'an both put down their bowls with satisfied expressions, while Su Mo wrapped the rest of the meal.

Then I went to the study, took a piece of paper with large characters, and began to evaluate the three children.

Gu Jinnian naturally passed the test easily.

Gu Xingnian was lucky, Su Mo's assessment was exactly what she remembered, and it could be said that there was no danger.

only suffered Gu Ping'an, didn't recognize three of the five big characters, and didn't dare to look directly at Su Mo with a weak heart.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, which could not be denied.

"The number of words to be recognized in Ming Ping'an has doubled.

If you don't recognize it all tomorrow night, your workout in the morning will be canceled.

It wasn't until I had memorized all the words on the thousand-character text that I continued to exercise. ”

It's better to be beaten.

Gu Ping'an wanted to cry without tears.

When the children in the village do wrong things, they are all slapped by their parents with small branches.

Gu Ping'an felt that his skin was rough and thick, and his mother was so good on weekdays, even if he started it, it would not be too heavy, and it would definitely not hurt if he was beaten.

Who would have thought that the mother would not play cards according to the routine.
