Accident

Xiao Yilin frowned as he listened to the conversation between his two subordinates, feeling unhappy and said, "Feng Zhi, please watch more, don't let those villagers who have misguided ideas plot against Young Master Chu.

There is no way that a man as skilled as Mr. Chu, who is young, promising and quick-thinking can be matched by the vulgar people in the village. In the future, I will look for a gentle and virtuous girl with a decent family background for Mr. Chu."

When Xiao Yilin thought of those vulgar country girls in the village rationing the boy, he felt that it was an insult to the boy. He should be matched with the best woman in the world with both talent and beauty.

On the first day of land reclamation, families with a large population cleared three acres of wasteland before evening.

After Jing Yi passed the inspection, he paid the family ninety cash on the spot.

When the family saw that they had earned ninety cents a day, they were very happy. They decided on the spot to continue to open up another five acres of land.

When other people saw that their wages were really paid, they became more energetic and worked much faster.

On this first day, people started to sort out the wasteland they had designated, and Jing Yi also paid his wages one after another.

On the first day, almost a hundred acres of wasteland were opened. When the villagers saw that they were really making money, every family asked for a larger area the next day.

Jingyi doesn’t need to be there to watch when land reclamation is settled based on area. He just checks whether the fields are qualified in the evening and settles the wages.

At the same time, the 100 acres of fertile land bought by Jingyi was also plowed, and some vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, radish, and spinach were planted. Especially Chinese cabbage and radish are vegetables that are commonly eaten in winter.

most.

It’s definitely not possible to grow food this year, but you can still harvest some vegetables.

Jingyi asked the village chief. Although the winter here is not that cold, it will freeze at the coldest time. That means the temperature has reached below zero. Although the time is short, the farming cannot bear it. So planting

Food won't work.

Vegetables have a short growth cycle, especially some leafy vegetables, which can be eaten as long as the leaves are almost grown, so there is no big problem.

Jingyi grows Chinese cabbage and radishes to make kimchi and pickles in winter. However, Jingyi is a little discouraged when she thinks that there are no peppers here. Although she can make other flavors of kimchi or sauerkraut without peppers, without peppers, it feels like there is no such thing.

It's like losing his soul. It seems that he still needs to find the pepper as soon as possible.

After the land is sorted out, Jingyi will have to dig canals and use water to wash out the salt and alkali in the saline-alkali land to reduce the salinity of the land.

To fill the fields with water, in addition to digging canals, you also need to build a waterwheel.

In her previous life, Jingyi had seen waterwheels in some scenic spots in the south and understood their principles. She had also seen introductions to traditional waterwheels and simple drawings.

When Jingyi returned home, he took out a piece of white paper and used a thin branch from the kitchen to cook a pot as a charcoal pencil, recalling the drawings he had seen in his previous life and drawing them bit by bit.

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 very skilled carpenter in our village? I want to build a few waterwheels."

Wang Xuhuai asked: "Waterwheel? What is that?"

Jing Yi said: "The water in the river can be transferred to the canal through the water truck, and then along the canal to the fields. That wasteland is a saline-alkali land. I need to use water to wash out the salt in the field so that I can plant some

Crops that are tolerant to salt and alkali.”

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. Let's try making one first. If it doesn't work, we can improve it. This water wheel must be no problem.

With the water truck, it will be much more convenient for other people in our village to irrigate their fields.

Of course Wang Xuhuai hopes that this waterwheel can be built, "Wang Dalin in our village is a carpenter, you can let him try it."

Wang Dalin's family also participated in land reclamation. Wang Xuhuai asked a child from the village to call Wang Dalin back and tell him about building a waterwheel.

This is a technical job that is definitely more profitable than opening up wasteland, so Wang Dalin took over the job and asked other members of the family to continue opening up wasteland. He also asked his eldest son, who also had some skills, to build a waterwheel with him.

This waterwheel is a new item. If it can really be used to irrigate fields, it will really solve a big problem.

Jingyi bought the best wood and gave it to Wang Dalin to build the waterwheel. She would also visit Wang's house from time to time.

Feng Zhi would go to the wasteland from time to time, and when he returned to his prince, he sighed: "Master Chu is really smart. The settlement of wasteland is based on how many acres each family has opened, so that no one will be lazy, and Master Chu will not waste money."

.The land reclamation will be fast now. It is estimated that more than 1,000 acres of land can be sorted out in just ten days. Mr. Chu is really amazing."

Xiao Yilin, who was lying on a deck chair in the yard basking in the sun, said: "Master Chu understands people's hearts very well, and his method can maximize people's enthusiasm."

While Xiao Yilin was enjoying the sunshine, a secret guard suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yilin, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the chief manager has received news that King Xuan is coming to our Huizhou Prefecture after providing disaster relief in Yuezhou Prefecture. He will be here in two days at most.

Arrived, the chief manager asks you to return home as soon as possible."

When Gu Yu heard this, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, "Your Majesty, Prince Xuan must have bad intentions when he comes this time. We must make plans early. We must not let him find out that your health has improved greatly and you are expected to recover."

King Xuan Xiao Yitai is the eldest prince of the current emperor, and his mother is the current emperor's concubine Lu. King Xuan has always coveted the throne.

Prince Xuan had a hand in the assassination of Xiao Yilin and the poisoning of Xiao Yilin. Therefore, everyone in Prince Jing's palace hated him. However, there was no conclusive evidence, and because of his identity, they could not do anything to him.

Xiao Yilin's eyes flashed after hearing the secret guard's words, his face darkened slightly, and his brows gradually furrowed. His face, which was already thin and out of shape, had gained some muscle in the past few days, and it no longer looked so skinny, making him already good-looking.

His face is more handsome and jade-like.

Xiao Yilin knew that he could not stay here any longer. His coming here was confidential, and he must not let those people know that Chu Jingyan was treating him, and could even completely cure his body.

If those people knew about it, not only would Chu Jingyan's family be in danger, but those people would also take action against him again.

Now he must hide his abilities and bide his time, and completely heal his body before he can do what he wants to do. Without a good body, everything else is just talk.

Xiao Yilin pondered for a while and said: "Feng Zhi, go and find Master Chu. Gu Yu, pack your things and we are going back."

Gu Yu frowned when he heard this, "Your Majesty, your health has just improved a bit, will your previous efforts be wasted if you go back now?"

Xiao Yilin said: "Bring Mr. Chu back and ask him what he said."

When Feng Zhi heard this, he quickly went to find someone.

Gu Yuze quickly went back to the room to pack the things they wanted to take away.
