After a short time, the adjutant general brought herbal tea and stood aside to wait for the dispatch.

General Wang personally poured herbal tea for Wu Yong, and after watching them drink a cup, he began to ask them about their intentions, although he knew that it was an inspection, but the purpose was different, and the measures they needed to take were different, so it was necessary to ask in advance.

Lord Gong has also adjusted his state at this time, in other people's territory, although he has to hold it, but he still has to follow the customs, Lord Gong directly explained his intention: "Wu and I came here this time to check the results of your previous reclamation, I don't know if General Wang can take us over at this time." ”

When General Wang heard this, the expression on his face was a little embarrassed, but he also knew that it was not easy to refuse, so he could only stand up and prepare to take them over, while asking tentatively: "If the land reclamation fails, will the official family set any punishment?"

This is the third time Wu Yong has heard this question, and Wu Yong plans to see what Master Gong will say this time.

Lord Gong's answer to this did not change, and he said directly: "No, but it depends on the situation, we came here this time, not only to inspect, but also to help, General Wang should take us over to have a look first." ”

Lord Gong doesn't have much expectation for the results of the reclamation here, but he still has to see it with his own eyes to know.

General Wang also agreed with this, so he led them directly to the edge of their barracks, and their wasteland site was next door to their barracks, also for the convenience of viewing.

The deputy general prepared straw hats for Wu Yong and Master Gong to shade the sun, and the two did not refuse, took them and put them on themselves, and went to the wasteland.

General Wang opened a small door for Wu Yong and them, and after passing here, they went directly to the location of their reclamation.

Wu Yong and Master Gong looked at each other, and they only saw a piece of emerald green, but they couldn't tell whether this emerald green belonged to weeds or crops.

General Wang said a little embarrassed: "The grass in this wasteland is growing too fast, we have tried to come and remove it every once in a while, but there is still no way to completely dispose of it, and the things we planted before are not growing very well now." ”

Wu Yong said darkly: That's for sure, there are so many weeds competing for nutrients, and it's already very good that these crops can survive, and it's really difficult for them to thrive.

When Lord Gong saw this situation, he was also helpless, so he could only ask him: "How do you weed?"

General Wang demonstrated it to him.

Master Gong thought of the experience he had gained from the other two wasteland sites before, and pointed out: "It is naturally difficult for you to remove all the weeds by weeding like this, as long as the weeds are still underground, they can grow again, you had better get rid of these grass roots, otherwise it will be useless no matter how many times you remove the weeds." ”

Wu Yong nodded in agreement on the side, it is true, the vitality of weeds is much stronger than those crops, if they don't take advantage of the current problem to solve this problem and continue to let these weeds compete for nutrients, they are likely to have no harvest in the end.

Wu Yong told General Wang about this result, hoping that he would attract enough attention.

General Wang was a little helpless before, but now after receiving Wu's specific guidance, he said again and again: "I'm going to arrange someone to weed." ”

Master Gong and Wu Yong discussed it for a while, and decided to move on to the next location: "We will come here again later, I hope you have solved the problem by then." ”

They have already made it so clear, if they still can't solve it, they will have to accept the punishment obediently when the time comes.

General Wang knew that they must not only come to inspect his own place, so he did not stay, and asked the deputy general to call people over, and he personally sent Wu Yong them out.

In the following time, Wu Yong and Master Gong successively inspected all the wasteland sites in Ludi, and many of them were in the same situation as General Wang's here, which made them spend a lot of time, and they really understood why the officials let them come out to inspect.

The place they were in charge of this time was the things in Ludi, and as for other places, naturally there were other people to inspect them.

Master Gong sat in the carriage on the way back, and said with some emotion: "I don't know what the results of other people are now? It's the first time I've seen so many strange mistakes, and I don't know what the results will be after the autumn." ”

Wu Yong: "After we go through this again, they can at least take back the seeds after the autumn, and the first year of implementation is already good with this kind of result." ”

The worst result that Wu Yong had expected before was that there was no harvest of grains, and now this level is still acceptable.

Master Gong knew that he was a little impatient this time, but now that the situation on the frontier was unstable, he had to be anxious.

Wu Yong comforted: "Don't worry, it's not such a bad situation, if it really doesn't work, we can think of other ways, such as going to other places to buy food." ”

Lord Gong smiled bitterly, this also requires so much silver in the treasury, after all, once the war starts, the food needed is not a small amount.

Wu Yong is not so worried about this, many achievements on Liangshan have been handed over to Zhao Ji recently, and his private treasury should have a lot of income now, and he will definitely take it out when necessary.

Wu Yong revealed this information to Lord Gong a little bit so that he could rest assured.

Lord Gong really didn't pay attention to this before: "Does the official family really have a private treasury?"

Or maybe they still didn't believe that this kind of thing could be exchanged for silver taels.

Wu Yong nodded affirmatively, Zhao Ji must have people around him who are good at running shops, otherwise Zhao Ji would not be able to buy the calligraphy and paintings he likes as he likes.

After Lord Gong got this exact answer, he also let go of his previous worries, and turned to wonder how Zhao Ji did it.

Wu Yong pointed out two sentences: "As long as the thing is really useful, the businessmen are willing to buy it, and if Master Gong has something of his own, he can also contact the businessman to try it." ”

Gong himself likes to make things, and he also has a studio at home, where there are indeed many small inventions that belong to him, and after listening to Wu Yong's words, he decided to exchange these things for his own research funds when he returns to Beijing.

Wu Yong expressed his support for this.

After that, Wu used them to concentrate on hurrying, but did not communicate again.

Back at Zhu Gui's restaurant, Master Gong got off the carriage a little staggeringly, feeling that the whole person was a little uneasy.

Lord Gong watched with a little envy as Wu Yong got off the horse easily, and took the horse to the waterside to drink water like no one else, sure enough, the physique of their literati was still not as good as these martial artists.
