Chapter 272: Married a good daughter-in-law

The village chief took them to the eastern land, and just standing on the land, Si Juan could feel the heat rise from the soles of his feet.

"The land here is so dry, the river is on the west side, you have to climb two mountains to dig water, and it takes an hour to carry water to water the seeds, and it will definitely not work to water it once!" said the village chief.

"It's a tricky thing to do. Nan Gongjin frowned, he squatted down and scooped up the soil in his hand and pinched it, but he was also stumped.

Si Wan clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked at the arid land in front of him, and had a faint idea in his heart.

She is a modern person, even if she doesn't farm, she will be read by the people around her.

She crouched down and grabbed the soil and squeezed it in her hand, her mind already settled.

Si Juan threw away the soil in his hand, clapped his hand, and was about to use that hand to pat Nan Gongjin's shoulder, but Nan Gongjin happened to lean over, so startled that Si Juan hurriedly changed his other hand.

"Husband, I have a solution!"

When Nan Gongjin heard this, he stood up with a bit of expectation in his eyes, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"We can adapt to local conditions and grow some drought-tolerant plants in this arid land, such as corn, potatoes and so on. And in the west, which is flooded all year round, you can grow rice, and there are mulberry fish ponds!"

After Si Juan finished speaking, the people around him were stunned for a moment, looking at Si Juan with a confused face.

Si Juan knew that his statement was too modern, so he hurriedly said: "This is very simple, planting sunflowers in this land, no, no... Morning Flowers!"

After Si Juan changed his statement, the few tenant farmers who came with him immediately understood.

"When the time comes, you can go to the market to sell melon seeds! You can also plant something else, just now I saw that the land over there is a sign of wetness, it should be water underground, you can dig a ditch here, bring water here!"

After Si Juan finished speaking, the group of villagers were still confused, and Si Juan only felt that it was difficult to communicate with them.

Then he turned his gaze to Nan Gongjin, hoping that he could understand what he was saying.

I saw Nan Gongjin seriously thinking about Si Juan's words just now, and suddenly walked over and pinched Si Juan's shoulder, "I knew that you would surprise me all the time, I thought about what you said just now, it's feasible!"

was slightly praised by Nan Gongjin, and Si Wan was a little fluttery.

"That's... What is a mulberry fishpond?" asked a tenant farmer.

"Mulberry fish pond is a combination of mulberry silkworm farming and pond fish farming, planting mulberry trees near the pond stem, raising silkworms with mulberry leaves, using silkworm sand, silkworm pupae and so on as bait, and pond mud as mulberry fertilizer. ”

"It is these two that use each other and promote each other! You can not only turn silk money, but also make money from fish ponds!"

Si Juan explained one by one that she knew that the countryside couldn't understand it, so she said it specifically to Nan Gongjin.

After hearing this, Nan Gongjin couldn't suppress a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he once again sighed that he could marry a woman like Si Juan.

As soon as he said that, Nan Gongjin immediately asked people to go back to Jiang's house to arrange for people to come here to work tomorrow, and then took Si Juan to the mountain and observed the surrounding environment on the high ground.

Si Juan took the paper and drew on it, which was extremely professional.

Although she had never eaten pork, she had always seen pigs run, and after several discussions with Nan Gongjin, she decided to start digging from a moist place.

It would be best if you could dig a waterway, but if you couldn't dig it, you had to dig a waterway from the river on a long detour.

Si Juan and Nan Gongjin went to see the land to the west again, because it was the rainy season, so the water had already flooded.

However, it was in line with Si Juan's thoughts, she told Nan Gongjin her idea and turned this land into two.

A large portion is used to make a mulberry fish pond, and lobsters can also be farmed in the fish pond.

The other part is slightly smaller and is used to grow rice, sugar cane, and so on.

The two studied until late before going home, worked out a plan overnight, and began to implement it the next day, which can be said to be very vigorous.

Nan Gongjin hired a lot of workers to dig the waterway, and after digging for about an hour, he didn't find any water, just when everyone was discouraged and ready to spend more time digging the waterway on the other side of the mountain.

Si Wan walked over angrily, picked up a hoe casually, and with such a shovel, the water actually flowed out.

Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't help but admire Si Juan's hand.

After digging the water, everyone was busy digging the waterway, and it took a whole day to dig the waterway.

The next step was to soak the arid land, planted sunflowers and sweet potatoes, and some more drought-tolerant fruits and vegetables.

It took almost half a month before and after.

After finishing the land in the east, I went to get the perennial waterlogged land in the west.

They dug fish ponds, planted mulberry trees, and bought fish and shrimp fry at a high price and threw them into the pond.

After being busy for almost a month and a half, I finally got two pieces of land that no one could chew on.

However, there will also be some tenant farmers who feel that although Si Juan's method looks good on the surface, it will not last long.

Si Juan also completely disregarded the opinions of others, whether he could succeed or not was not only in providence but also in man-made.

On the other hand, Jiang Nian was drinking Lao Ye tea at home, and he was still glad that his two pieces of land like a hot potato were given to Nan Gongjin, and he was happy at home.

Jiang Nian's housekeeper walked in, and when he saw that his master was still drinking tea, he couldn't help but sigh.

"What are you sighing for, is it that Nan Gongjin's kid is crying because of those two useless pieces of land?" Jiang Nian said.

"Sir... I heard that it was Nan Gongjin's daughter-in-law, Si Juan, who came up with a method of digging a waterway, and solved the trouble of the arid land in one fell swoop!"

"And the perennial flooded land is also, she came up with an idea to make a pond, what is it called a mulberry fish pond, and it is planted with mulberry trees and fish and shrimp, and rice is also planted!"

"Seeing the two most useless pieces of land... It's going to be transformed!"

Listening to the housekeeper's words, Jiang Nian didn't react for a while.

Jiang Nian opened his eyes, stopped his swaying legs, suddenly sat up from the chair, looked at the housekeeper in disbelief and said, "What?!Nan Gongjin, this kid has transformed those two pieces of land?

"It's true, sir, don't you believe it, go and see for yourself? Now it's spread all over the street, and they all say that this Nan Gongjin has married a good daughter-in-law!"

Jiang Nian's face suddenly darkened, and his brows condensed into a dead knot, "Hiss...... I thought I would be able to pit Nan Gongjin once, but who knows... It's become like this!"
