Chapter 007: Thousands of acres of fertile land and 100 million catties of grain

Under the tent.

Fang Yuan was sipping tea.

There were also fruits and pastries on the table.

"County Zun, have you had breakfast?"

Zhang Sanfart walked over and sneered.

"What's the matter?"

Fang Yuan glanced at him and poured him a cup of tea.

The guy's smile immediately became thicker, and he was grateful to Dade for drinking.

"County Zun, it is very likely that Your Majesty will come to our Wuling County today and wait at the county gate together, right?"

Zhang San looked at Fang Yuan and said.

After Fang Yuan left last night, he and the county Cheng waited until the city gate was closed before leaving.

Before leaving, several people discussed that they would continue to stare tomorrow, after all, the emperor may only arrive today.

"If you don't go, the official is not available."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said impatiently.

It's going to wait for the emperor who doesn't know what it looks like, and whoever wants to go will go.

"County Zun, the bidding is not in a hurry, they will not come back until noon when they go to visit the farmland, won't you come back at noon?"

Zhang San persuaded.

The farmland is large and takes a long time to visit.

Besides, how could the bidding of these caravans be more important than waiting for the emperor?

"Get out of the way, don't disturb the official's rest."

"When you go to wait, you will pass by the Shenyu Luoyan Tower first, and call Lu Chuchu to beat the back of the official."

Fang Yuan was speechless at him and kicked him in the ass.

didn't have much strength, but this guy fell to the ground, put on a bewitching lying position, and screamed.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan's face darkened.

"Okay, okay, I'll go."

Zhang San saw that Fang Yuan's face was wrong, so he hurriedly got up and crawled away.

Fang Yuan regained his purity, leaned on the stool and drank tea, living a life similar to retirement with the dignity of a county.

......

Green Summer leads the team.

Li Shimin and others followed.

After walking for a few miles, I finally entered the farmland area.

At this moment, Li Shimin and others seemed to be in a yellow, orange and orange world.

Rice, wheat, millet, patches of farmland, seeds, their waists are bent.

When the breeze blows, they sway with the wind, as if waving to everyone, and the smell of food wafts with it.

"It's so plump rice, these rice plants have more than 100 grains in one ear, right?!"

"In previous years, I had seen such a bumper harvest of wheat in the Jiangnan area, but because of the drought this year, I have never seen it again."

"The millet is so full, how did Wuling County grow such a bumper harvest of grain, haven't you all been harmed by the locust plague?"

After entering the farmland, the representatives of the caravans rushed to the farmland as if they were crazy, and touched all kinds of grain with trembling hands.

They sighed, they couldn't believe what they saw, but what was in front of them was real, and they couldn't believe it.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were the same, their hands tremblingly caressed the ears of rice, looking at the grain in front of them, their eyes gradually moistened.

It's not just food, it's life!

The people in the disaster area have been saved, and there is no need to issue an edict for their own crimes!

"Green Summer Girl, haven't you experienced drought and locust plague?"

The caravan representatives slowly recovered from the shock.

They looked at Midori Natsu and asked the question in their hearts.

This year's drought has had a significant impact, affecting most areas.

Although the locust plague broke out in the area of Kannai Province, it also implicated all parts of the world.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui also came back to their senses and looked at Lu Xia, waiting for her answer.

"Yes."

"Drought and locust plagues have been experienced."

"But our county lords have taken measures in advance, and the impact is not great."

Midori Xia said proudly.

The county lord is the pride of all people in Wuling County.

Today, there are some in Wuling County, and they all have a contribution from the county lord.

As a native of Wuling, Lu Xia has clearly witnessed all this.

She warned herself in her heart that in the future, she would work in Fang Yuan's hands, and she must do it well.

"How?"

Seeing that no one asked, Li Shimin asked.

He also caught one word: take measures in advance!

Take measures in advance, is that Fang Yuan predicting the emergence of drought and locust plague in advance?

If that's the case, there's a good chance that Fang Yuan will be his own Ying Meng Xianchen!

"I actually don't know much about this, my family doesn't farm, and the fields are rented out."

"If the VIP wants to know clearly, they can ask the farmers here, and they know better."

Midori Xia shook her head and smiled.

As he spoke, he looked around and beckoned to a farmer who was nearer.

There are countless farmlands here, and although it is not the season to cultivate, it also needs to be watched by people to prevent accidents.

Soon, the peasant came over, wearing a straw hat, with dark skin and a wrinkled face, and a simple smile.

"Sister Luxia, what's the matter with your uncle?"

The peasant scratched his head and said honestly.

There were a lot of people at the scene, and they were all wearing silk silks, so he naturally felt inferior.

"Uncle, these are caravan representatives from all over the country who have come to see our grain in Wuling County."

"I just want to ask you a few questions, don't be afraid, they don't eat people, hehe."

Midori Xia said with a smile.

In a few words, the peasant's expression was much more natural.

"This old man, I would like to ask, how did you deal with the drought and locust plague?"

Li Shimin asked politely.

"If you say this, then you're asking the right person."

"At the beginning of the year, the county lord called on us to open a canal to divert the river dozens of miles away."

"Not only that, but we have also been asked to dig hundreds of wells in thousands of acres of fertile land to store water, and now there are still wells with water, and there has never been a drought at all."

The old man said proudly.

I heard that there was a great drought in all parts of the world, and the harvest was bleak.

And their Wuling County has a great harvest, not to mention how proud they are.

However, the county has an order not to spread the harvest of Wuling County to the outside world, so outsiders do not know.

This is what Lu Xia asked him, and said that it was the representative of the caravans from all over the country, and he answered truthfully.

"Amazing, you county lord is really prescient."

Li Shimin's expression was still the same, and he was shocked in his heart.

"That's it!"

"If it weren't for the county honor, our Wuling County would be suffering now."

The old man said with respect on his face.

When Fang Yuan was mentioned, his eyes were full of respect.

Seeing this, the representatives of the caravan at the scene exchanged glances with their own people in private and nodded secretly.

Du Ruhui listened, his eyes also changed, and he wanted to go back and urge the forbidden army who investigated the source information to let them hurry up.

"And how did the locust plague deal with it?"

Li Shimin sighed and nodded, and then asked about the locust plague.

Drought can drain the water, but locust plague is different, locusts fly from the sky, how to deal with it?

"Actually, the locust plague in our Wuling County is not serious."

"As early as when I heard about the locust plague in the Guannei, the county lord organized people to monitor day and night, and lit torches in various places at night, locusts like to put out fires, and will attack torches, so we will take advantage of the situation to get rid of them."

"During the day, we stocked chickens, ducks, geese, etc., around the farmland, they are the natural enemies of locusts, and there are not many locusts, but they are eaten by chickens, ducks and geese just after they arrive."

The old man said proudly.

These are his personal experiences.

These are all strong memories, and we will protect farmland in the future.

"How do you know that chickens, ducks and geese are natural enemies of locusts?"

Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask.

Flying locusts to fight the fire, he knew that when he was in Chang'an City, he also called soldiers to kill locusts at night.

But there are too many locusts, and they kill a lot of them at night, and they appear endlessly the next day, and they can't protect the food of heaven and earth at all.

"The county lord said it."

The old man replied.

"That.... How much will you expect to harvest this year? ”

Li Shimin asked another question.

It is also a question that the representatives of the caravan on the scene want to ask.

"I heard there could be a million stones."

"I've heard that, too, and I don't count."

The old man scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Thank you, old man, I'm done."

Li Shimin nodded and thanked him.

Under the calm face, his heart is full of turbulent waves.

First, Fang Yuan's drainage obviously knew about the drought in advance, how did he know about it in advance?

Second, the natural enemies of locusts, no one knew about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, how did Fang Yuan know?

Third, Fang Yuan must be his own Ying Mengxian minister!

Fourth, a million stone of grain!
