Tan Tuo and An Zike went to the place where the artichoke was planted. Looking at the seedlings digging out several artichokes one by one, Tan Tuo was a little excited, and said to an old farmer with a hoe: "Old man, give me the hoe, okay?" Tan Tuo was dressed very simply, followed by two entourages, like a scholar, and he couldn't tell that this was a big official. Similarly, An Zike was also dressed very modestly.

The old farmer lent the hoe in his hand to Tan Tuo.

Tan Tuo doesn't look at a weak scholar, he is really good at farm work. As soon as you dig, you dig up a whole artichoke plant. Looking at the seven or eight small potatoes on it, Tan Tuo squatted down to pick them up, pulled off the mud on them, and put them in the basket one by one.

Compared with Tan Tuo, An Zike was much more rusty when he did this, and he damaged several of them with a hoe.

An Zike put down the hoe and said with a smile: "Lord Tan, have you ever done farm work before?" Looking at this, he has not only done farm work, but also a veteran among them.

Tan Tuo nodded and said, "I was originally born in a rural family, and I have been digging in the fields since I was a child. I don't know how to work in the fields. For his birth, Tan Tuo felt that there was nothing to be ashamed of.

An Zike smiled and praised twice.

After half an hour, an acre of artichoke was dug up. Tan Tuo asked people to weigh the harvest of this acre of land, and he knew it in his heart. When he heard that this acre of land had collected 1,780 catties, Tan Tuo said three good words one after another. Even if this thing can't be planted continuously, and you can only plant one crop in two or three years, that's very good.

An Zike was also overjoyed, these things can fill the stomach, and the output is so high, which solves the big problem of food rations for the people. However, it was a pity to hear Tan Tuo say that this thing could not be made continuously: "If it can be made continuously, it would be great." ”

Tan Tuo said with a smile: "The yield of one season is equivalent to the yield of three or four seasons of wheat planted." It's already good. ”

The two stayed in the countryside until it was nearly dark, and then returned to Pickaxe City. If it weren't for too many things, Tan Tuo would have wanted to live in the countryside for one more day.

The next day, Tan Tuo went to see Yuxi, and the smile on his face did not break when he talked about the artichoke: "Princess, this artichoke will be vigorously promoted now." ”

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I'm going to plant 100,000 mu next season, and no more will do." Seeing Tan Tuo's puzzled look, Yuxi didn't explain too much, but talked about the reclamation of wasteland: "In the past two years, how much land has been reclaimed in the northwest?"

Tan Tuo said: "Nine hundred and ninety-six thousand eight hundred acres. ”

Yuxi was silent and said, "It's a pity that there is a lack of water, otherwise it would have been doubled to come out." "Tan Tuo told Yunqing that the army can no longer continue to cultivate fields, not that the army has cultivated a lot of fields, but that there are not enough water resources. No matter how many fields are cultivated, if there is no water to irrigate them, it will be useless.

Dams and canals are being built, but the pace of construction is slow, and only three dams have been built so far, and the third dam will not be completed until May. According to the plan, six more dams need to be built, which will take two years. There is also a gold mine there, otherwise Yuxi would not be able to carry it!

Tan Tuo thought for a while, and then talked to Yuxi about the scientific examination: "Princess, is this year's children's exam still in June?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Forget it this year, next year will be set at the beginning of March!"

The imperial court children's exam was held in mid-February, and it was nothing that the exam in the northwest was postponed for more than half a month. Tan Tuo immediately nodded: "That's fine." ”

When there's something to do, time always flies exceptionally. No, it's lunch time in the blink of an eye.

Huo Changqing has something to go out today, and this will not be in the house. Zao Zao didn't want to have lunch alone, so he went back to the backyard to eat with Yuxi and Liu'er.

Yuxi looked at the gobbling up jujubes, and couldn't help but say, "Jujubes, don't eat them so fast, no one will rob you." "This is the disadvantage of letting my daughter follow a big man, and if it goes on like this, it is estimated that jujube will be no different from a man in the future.

Zao Zao said: "Mother, I don't want to be like my sister! It takes two or three quarters of an hour to eat a meal." "For Zaozao, Liu'er's behavior is a waste of time.

Hearing the word sister, Liu Er immediately looked up at the jujube and showed a sweet smile. That stupid look, I saw that Yuxi wanted to hold his forehead again.

Speaking of which, even Yuxi felt incredible, Liu Er especially likes jujubes, and the two sisters would have endless words when they stayed together. You must know that if you don't guide on weekdays, Liu Er won't take the initiative to speak. Also, Liu'er, who is lazy and reluctant to move, often plays in the yard with Zaojube. Yuxi once muttered to Mama Quan because of this. Quan Mama thinks it's normal, and the sisters who are close to each other have been together since childhood, and their feelings are naturally deep.

After lunch, Yuxi took the two little ones around the house to eat. Zao Zao took Liu Er's hand with his right hand, pointed to the jujube tree in the yard with his left hand, and said, "Sister, you will be able to eat the jujube on the tree in three months." When the time comes, my sister will give you dates to eat. ”

Liu Er opened her mouth and smiled: "Okay." ”

The two sisters talked about the topic of dates again. Of course, most of them are jujube jujubes, and Liu Er only interjects occasionally.

A quarter of an hour later, Yuxi said to the two sisters, "Go into the house and sleep." "Children want to sleep more, so Zao Zao also maintains the habit of taking a nap.

The two sisters held hands and prepared to go back to the house. When stepping up the steps, Zao Zao didn't need the help of the people around him, and helped Liu Er to go up step by step.

The smile in Yuxi's eyes couldn't be hidden, and Zao Zao was only four years old, so he knew how to take care of his sister. No matter how naughty the jujube is, it still makes Yuxi happy to have this thought at the age of four. What Yuxi didn't know was that this was Huo Changqing's credit. Huo Changqing often told Zao Zao that she was the eldest sister and would have to take care of her younger brothers and sisters in the future. After listening to it a lot, the jujube will be remembered in my heart.

On weekdays, Yuxi only sleeps for two quarters of an hour in the afternoon, but now the situation is special, and Yuxi will only wake up after sleeping for an hour every time.

"Bang dang ......" In her sleep, Yuxi heard a harsh sound, followed by the child's cry.

Yu Xi opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately got up and walked out of the house. Standing at the door, Yuxi saw that the carp and lotus blue and white vats in the courtyard were bubbling out.

Meiyun said cautiously: "Princess, the eldest girl smashed a hole in the vat, and her whole body was wet, and the second girl cried in fright. ”

Yuxi went to the ear room, and at this time, Zeng's mother and Quan Mama were changing the clothes of the two children. Because of the bad things he did, Zao Zao shrank his head back in a weak heart when he looked at Da Yuxi, and called softly: "Mother......"

Yuxi ignored the jujubes, walked to Liu'er's side, and asked Mama Quan: "Liu'er's clothes are also wet?"

Quan Mama shook her head and said, "Liu'er just wet her shoes and skirt, not her clothes." It's jujubes, and the whole body is soaked. "I didn't pay attention, and Zao Zao smashed a hole in the water tank.

Yuxi didn't say anything, just walked over to help Liu Er change her clothes. After changing his clothes, Yuxi took Liu'er back to the bedroom, ignoring the dates.

Zao Zao knew that her mother was angry, so she changed her clothes and went to the bedroom. When he arrived at the bedroom, Zao Zao stood honestly in the middle of the room, hung his head and said, "Mother, I was wrong." ”

Yuxi turned his head and asked, "Are you wrong?"

Zao Zao looked up at Yuxi and said, "Mother, I just want to see the fish in the big tank." "There were water lilies in the vat, and there were two carp in it. Because jujube jujube is too short, you need someone to hold it to see the fish on weekdays. Today she doesn't want people to hold her, she just wants to see it herself. So after thinking about it, I thought that if I smashed the vat, the fish would be able to see it.

Yuxi was angry and funny: "If you want to see the fish, you can let your mother hold you and watch, what are you doing when you smash the vat?"

Zao Zao shook his head and said, "Mother, didn't you say that fish can't do without water? ”

Yuxi didn't even know what his expression was. After half a ring, Yunqing: "Write twenty big characters tonight, and you are not allowed to go to sleep if you have one less word." "On weekdays, you only need to write five large characters, which is three times the amount.

Looking at Yuxi with an angry face, Zao Zao didn't refute it with interest, but just whispered: "Mother, I'm going to practice in the front yard." If I don't practice well, my grandfather will punish me when he comes back. ”

Huo Changqing is different from Yuxi, he is a ruthless master. If the jujube does not meet his requirements, he will stand on a pile with a bowl of water on his head, and he will be whipped at the worst. Yuxi was reluctant to be punished, and Yuxi could only say: "Come back early and write big characters." "As this girl gets older, her destructive power is getting bigger and bigger.

Every time at this time, Yuxi regrets it very much. Let Zao Zao continue to practice martial arts with Huo Changqing, and it will only get worse in the future. And if you want to correct this child, you can't follow Huo Changqing anymore. You don't have to think about Yuxi to know that Huo Changqing will definitely not agree.

Looking at Mama Quan who came in with water, Yuxi said, "Mama, what do you say this child will do after going like this?"

Mama Quan smiled and said, "This kid is a little naughty, it's good to be sensible when he's older." "It's time for a four-year-old kid to be naughty.

Yuxi said with a bitter face: "It's like this now, and when you're older, you can't make trouble outside every day." "When the time comes, she and Yunqing will have to follow behind to deal with the aftermath.

Mama Quan still smiled: "You are worrying about the sky." Zao Zao, this child, is a little more curious and energetic. Moreover, you can also think about it from another angle, Zao Zao can think of a way to smash the fish tank to watch the fish, proving that she will find a way to solve it by herself in case of trouble. It's great for a four-year-old to be able to do this. ”

Yuxi sighed and didn't say anything more, because it was useless to say it. R1148
