Ziyu, who hugged each other in front of her, stood on a high place and looked at the fields showing dirt.

The melting snow from the mountains gathers into a large waterfall that rushes into the lake, and the overflowing water rushes down the gully into Daxia Bay.

The matter of raising cotton and rice seedlings has been entrusted to Chen Da.

The sawn wood, which has been fermented for a winter, is used as soil for seedlings, and the seedlings in the greenhouse have broken through the soil through the guidance of the purple jade, a half tank of water.

Ziyu, who relied on Bai Yi, looked at the large area of land and was worried, even if all the empty rooms were used for seedlings, it would not be enough for more than 900 acres of land to plant.

The severe shortage of manpower is evident at this time.

Most of the men were sent to learn rowing, and the shortage of manpower was even greater.

The old iron man was too old to go rowing, and was now wielding his hoe to tidy up his ten acres of land.

I was so energetic that I only wore a single coat, and I dug hard with a hoe and a hoe.

The daughters of Bao Jiu and Wang Xingwang also worked in the fields, and even the three-year-old children were asked to go down to the fields to collect grass roots.

The ground that had just thawed was covered with snow water, and when she went to the ice under her bare feet for a while, it was frozen red, and Ziyu didn't let her family go to the ground.

"Young master, they are all busy in the fields, shouldn't we also go down and break ground as soon as possible."

Chen Da, who was in charge of farming, saw that everyone else was working in the field, and they were still standing on the ground watching the excitement, and they were so anxious that they went around.

After two years, he was able to deal with the land again, and Chen Da put all his attention on the fields in the valley.

People from peasant families feel uncomfortable as if they were scratched by cats when they see large areas of land empty.

I wish I could turn over all the ground again overnight.

"Mix the accumulated ashes in the dung, spread evenly in the field, and plough after three days."

For ancient times without fertilizer, Ziyu could only think of these.

"The seedlings raised in the yard are definitely not enough, and ten acres of land are leveled to raise seedlings.

Find a housekeeper to lead the primary color coarse cloth to build a shed, The responsibility of raising seedlings outside is heavy, and you must pay attention to temperature changes at any time.

Let's hope there is no cold spring! Ziyu looked at the mountain in the distance and said.

It will take at least a month for all the snow in the mountains to melt.

The snow-capped mountains in the distance are covered with snow all year round, and the water source is the least worrying issue.

"Okay, let's go!" As soon as he heard that there was work to do, Chen Da ran faster than anyone else.

The maids were not worried about going to the ground, but were full of expectations.

…

The technique of raising seedlings was a novelty in this era, and none of them had heard of it.

Naturally, they are full of anticipation for what they are going to do, because it is related to their stomach problems.

Eating fish every day, many people also have enough to eat, and they just want to change the taste.

Raising chickens, ducks and pigs has become the most urgent need in the valley.

The work of breeding has long been divided up by the subordinates of the family, and they are only waiting for the merchant ships to go out and buy it back.

…

"Young master, the head of Sha Village has brought someone over!"

Cheng Yuanju, who officially acted as a servant, took office for the first time today, and he ran forward all the way to deliver the news.

Xiao Luo also ran with Hulala, and the little guy who was a year older at the beginning was so energetic that he couldn't stop for a moment.

After a winter of recuperation, the bodies of the nine men were obviously much stronger, and they no longer looked like they were withered at the beginning.

Dressed in a coarse cotton jacket without patches, with a cloth belt tied around his waist, and a white turban wrapped around his head, Ziyu suddenly thought of the old farmers in northern Shaanxi.

"The lord of the castle is auspicious, Sha Dalang and the people of the village will give you a belated year."

Sha Dalang's nine people knelt on the ground three steps away from Ziyu, and kowtowed three times without ambiguity, making Ziyu feel like an immortal.

"Up, Magnolia will see the reward!" The man with a tender face twitched his face.

"Yes, young master!" Magnolia covered her mouth and snickered, and ran back to the yard to get silver peanuts.

Sha Dalang, who stood up, was overjoyed when they heard that they were rewarded.

Having enough to eat, dress and get a reward for money is the best life for them.

"Young master, the fields in the village have been turned over, and the seeds will be sown as soon as the weather is warm.

The original two families in the village wanted to sell themselves to the young master, and asked the young master to decide. ”

Ziyu didn't expect that the ground in Kan'er Village had been turned over, and these people were afraid that the snow would not melt and go to the ground.

"You don't have to sell your body, just let them rent land and plant, and the rent is not much.

You can also hire them to do the work in the fields, and it is not a problem to mix and eat. ”

The old, weak, sick and disabled sold themselves to her, and they had to produce food and cloth to support her, a fool can do this kind of loss-making business, Ziyu didn't have the idea of being a good person.

"The young master is right!"

Shaddaran bowed his head and said yes, although he sympathized with those people, he was not arrogant enough to make his own decisions.

"You have limited manpower, so the planting of crops should be reasonably arranged, don't think about eating a big fat man in one bite.

Far away, sweet potatoes are mainly grown.

First, he learned the technique of raising seedlings from Chen Da, and five people from Shajia Village were selected to learn rowing.

The arrangement of agricultural affairs is to find Chen Da, to find Steward Sheng for the materials, and to bring someone to change Steward Sheng back first. ”

Ziyu thought of where to go, and felt that there was nothing to say, so she let the nine people who had won the silver reward go down.

…

At the beginning of April, when the stench in the valley was gone, 100 acres of spring wheat, 150 acres of cobs, 20 acres of peanuts and beans, and 40 acres of sweet potatoes were planted on the hillside.

Twenty acres of sunny land in the high place are reserved for cotton transplanting.

Some corners and small plots of land are planted with the vegetables they brought, cabbage, radish, ginger, onions, garlic, sweet fruits, and peppers.

One day, Wang Xingwang came to Ziyu to report the good news.

"Castle master, the boatmen are trained and ready to go."

"Okay, just wait for this day!"

Ziyu knew that the ship had sailed out of Daxia Bay in recent days, and she had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Time in the valley waits for no one, and the people in the valley can't finish it in a month because they have to repair the house and put the seedlings into the ground.

"Yulan, let Steward Sheng come over!"

Ziyu caressed the little ball in her arms, which was the most beautiful of the three cubs under Bai Wuxia.

The snow-white hair on his body is like a mutated snow wolf, which is completely different from the gray hair of the five snow wolves.

Because of its uniqueness, Bai Wu took the initiative to give this wolf cub to his master.

The little wolf cub who had just completed the moon was huffing in Ziyu's arms, and its pure blue eyes were wet, which was very rare.

Partial was named Bai Piao by Ziyu, and every time he shouted 'Bai Piao', Ziyu had to be happy for a while.

It's so rare that a little wolf cub can't be carried, wherever you go, even Xiao Luo is ranked behind Bai Bleach.

Wang Xingwang thought of the five big snow wolves lying in the corridor outside, no matter how long it had passed, the soles of his feet would still be cold.

The ferocity of wolves is inherent in their bones, and they will not be forgotten because they are trained.

Now, no one dares to get close to the Ziyu brothers, for fear of being pounced on by the snow wolf and bite.

As soon as Steward Sheng came, Ziyu handed over the matter of going to Xin'an County to pick up the craftsman.

"In addition to the craftsmen, fifty good farmers are to be invited.

It doesn't matter if there are more than a dozen good carpenters, two rows of houses should be built at the mouth of the valley and the stone arch bridge.

Last year, the widow came to join her, and she happened to help in the back kitchen, and ten more women who helped the cook, and the wages were the same as last year. ”
