Not long after Dechen's group of tenant farmers left, Liu Yiyi followed Lao Liu and Liu He on a ride without a trace.

When they arrived at the ground, Li Dechen and the others had already begun to break the ground and excavate. It's just that the surface of this land has become white, relying on the rough ones in their hands, they can only dig up about one meter on the surface, and then down, the geology is hard, and they can only scrape off a little soil layer at a time.

No wonder Li Dechen was so out of shape before, digging a well with this tool for a month, it is indeed a fantasy.

Liu Yiyi looked at the spring millet seedlings in the field, there was no obvious lack of water, and he seemed to have a little spirit. Fortunately, the spring millet vegetation is notoriously drought tolerant, and the crops will not have any major problems for at least a month.

But looking at the weather, if it lasts for another month, it will be a bit mysterious.

"The owner," Li Dechen saw that Liu Yiyi had arrived at the ground, so he handed it over to his son Li Biao, came up, bent over and said to Liu Yiyi: "Look at the situation in this field, the qi is only less than two feet deep, and it is constantly moving upwards day by day, if there is no rain in the near future, this year's harvest will be greatly affected, and maybe there will be no harvest." ”

Li Dechen's face was worried, even more concerned about the crops in the field than Liu Yiyi, he didn't want to encounter a bad harvest in the first year of farming for the new owner. If the harvest is lost, or the harvest is reduced, then the proprietor will give them the grain and the reward. Won't it all fail?

Liu Yiyi squatted down and grabbed a handful of broken soil in the field, and under the whitening surface, there were some slightly moist dark soils, which was what Li Dechen said. Water, soil, air, and also nutrients. Together, they promote the growth of various vegetation in the field.

"Uncle Li doesn't have to worry, as long as we can dig the well within this month, and then draw water to irrigate the field, the crops in the field will be fine." Liu Yiyi sprinkled the broken soil in his hand, looked at the green crops in the field, and said confidently to Li Dechen.

"But, the owner," Li Dechen said to Liu Yiyi with a sad face, "You have also seen the situation here, this month. Can it really be dug up? ”

"In the afternoon, you will go with me to Uncle He's house in the east of the village," Liu Yiyi stood up, patted the foam on his hand, and said to Li Dechen indifferently: "After you see the utensils created by Uncle He, I believe you will have confidence in this month." ”

"Yes, host." Li Dechen nodded yes. Just look at the look on his face. But he still didn't believe it.

Liu Yiyi smiled and shook his head, he didn't care, before he saw the shovel, it was normal for them not to believe it. It's like before the advent of airplanes, people didn't believe that people could fly into the sky.

"Also, take this opportunity to build some more drainage channels in the fields," said Yanagichichi again, "and spread them in a staggered manner to each field, so that the fields can be irrigated in times of dryness." When it is waterlogged, it can be dredged and drained. ”

"Hmm. That's it. Liu Yiyi nodded, raised his hand and instructed Li Dechen: "I will bother Mr. Li to inform the villagers for a while." Each household had to build a small pipe in their field with a stable drain and water channel. The main roads are connected to the wells in various places. The pipeline should be based on wood and stone, and strive to be stable and long-lasting, and after repairing, each household will have a reward of 50 yuan, so be sure to let the villagers repair it carefully. ”

Open ditch drainage, irrigation and drainage, although it is not as good as modern dark pipe drainage, but now, it is enough.

"Yes, host." Listening to Liu Yiyi's narration, Li Dechen's eyes were full of brilliance, in addition to rewarding money for the fifty land, he also had far-sighted plans and whimsical ideas for the owner's land.

Usually, when farmers use overturned trucks and drum trucks for irrigation, although there are also digging pipes, but those are crude, and they will be flattened immediately after use, and no one can waste a part of the land like Liu Yiyi to build this long-term water diversion and drainage pipeline.

Li Dechen bowed slightly to Liu Yiyi, then turned back to the cong group, and told Liu Yiyi what he had just ordered.

Soon, some of the tenant farmers who had been idle by the well began to disperse, returned to their fields and began to dig trenches carefully.

Drainage pipes are most suitable for irrigation and drainage of such large areas of cultivated land, and they are coherent, staggered and comprehensive. These tenant farmers are clearly good at digging trenches, and they know best how and where to dig to get the most out of the pipes.

Liu Yiyi nodded, it may not be possible to dig a well, but it is still good to dig a drainage ditch that is not deep. Moreover, these tenant farmers also seem to be very hard-working, and they can do a good job without being pushed by others, which makes him worry a lot.

After staying in the field for a while, seeing that everything was normal, Liu Yiyi said hello to Li Dechen, and rode back on Liu Wuxian.

When I got home, there were two horses in the house, and they weren't

Horse, knowing that there must be a distinguished guest coming to the door, after the willow is tied without a trace, the main hall of the hall.

What caught my eye was a stranger dressed as an old man and a young man, who was sitting in the main seat of the large living room at the moment, with Erlang's legs crossed and his nostrils facing the sky, looking high-spirited and unstoppable.

Below them, Lao Yanagi and Yanagi Erjo stood there with their heads bowed, silent, as if they had done something wrong.

Liu Yiyi frowned lightly, there was something wrong with the atmosphere in this room.

Walking up to Lao Liu and Liu Ertiao, glancing at the two people on the seat, Liu Yiyi asked Lao Liu softly, "Dad, what's going on?" Who are these two? ”

"One, you're back." Lao Liu raised his head, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his hand and introduced to Liu Yiyi: "These two are Brother Zhang and Little Brother Li of the Zhao family in the county seat. ”

The Zhao family? Liu Yiyi thought about it for a while, why didn't he seem to be impressed, but looking at the two military horses they rode and the roaring appearance of the two subordinates, it must be a lot of money.

"You are the current head of the Liu family?" The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang glanced at Liu Yiyi, and when he saw that he was so young, he couldn't help but despise him for a while, he didn't even arch his hand, he sat there with a big thorn and said to Liu Yiyi: "Then you have the final say about this Liu family's affairs?" ”

Liu Yiyi glanced at this subordinate surnamed Zhang with disdain, and ignored it, he had been in the Tang Dynasty for so long, this was the most powerful person he had ever seen.

actually pulled Lao Liu and Liu Erjo to the chair and sat down, Liu Yiyi took a sip of the tea bowl, and then asked Lao Liu as if no one was around: "Dad, what's going on?" ”

"One," Lao Liu glanced at Zhang and Li, and kept glancing at Liu Yiyi, asking Liu Yiyi to entertain him, and it could be seen that he was very jealous of these two people.

"Big brother, both"

"Horn!"

A crisp sound interrupted Liu Ertiao's words, scaring Lao Liu and Liu Ertiao into a rage.

Liu Yiyi turned his head to look, but it was the subordinate surnamed Zhang who broke a tea bowl, the tea was spilled on the ground, and the crumbs of the tea bowl were splashed everywhere.

"Lao Tzu was talking to you just now, didn't you hear it?!" The surnamed Zhang stood up, glared at Liu Yi very arrogantly, and questioned Liu Yiyi.

"Oh?" Liu Yiyi made a soothing gesture to Lao Liu and Liu Ertiao, gently stood up from the chair, walked to the surnamed Zhang, arched his hand to him, and said, "Dare to ask this gentleman, what is your name?" ”

"A certain surname is Zhang Mingshuo, and the master will not give up, and he will give him the name, Anshan." Zhang Anshan held his head high, looking proud, and then thought how glorious his name was.

"Zhang Shuo, right," Liu Yiyi kicked the crumbs of the tea bowl on the ground with his foot, and asked Zhang Anshan, "Do you know the origin of this tea bowl in our house?" This is a black porcelain used by the first emperor of the first generation of the year, King Qin Yingzheng, which was handed down by my ancestors, after nearly a thousand years without damage, specially used to receive distinguished guests, worth 500 gold, but now, it is broken, and it is broken in your hands, Zhang Shuo, what do you say about this? ”

No matter what they came for, Liu Yiyi deducted a basin for them first. Is our old Liu family's thing so easy to fall to the ground?

"You! You dare to blackmail Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will beat you to death! Zhang Anshan had never been ridiculed like this, his brain was ashamed and angry, and he swung his fist at Liu Yiyi.

"Humph! Act recklessly! Liu's right leg was slightly wrong back, his left hand grabbed Zhang Anshan's right arm, and his right hand lifted it at his shoulder blade, and Zhang Anshan's arm fell off.

"Ahh With a miserable scream, Zhang Anshan sat on the ground with his right arm covered, cold sweat flowed on his forehead, but Liu Yiyi's technique this time was not as gentle as before.

"Erjo," Liu Yichi clapped his hands, and said to Liu Erjo, "You go find something to clean up the debris on the ground and keep the evidence, this is five hundred gold, but you have to be careful." ”

"Eh, big brother." Yanagi Nijo answered, happily got up from his chair, and began to carefully clean up the broken bowls on the ground.

"Young Master Liu, villain Li Tiexian, there is a courtesy here." The smaller underground man hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to salute Liu Yiyi, and said, "It was the villain's rudeness just now, how offended I am, and please Liu Gongzi, your adult, ignore the villain, spare Lao Zhang this time, right?" ”

Seeing that the situation is wrong, soft comes first.

This kid has a good helm, Liu Yiyi glanced at Li Tiexian, and said lightly: "It is natural to repay debts, since this old brother Zhang broke the ancestral treasure of our old Liu family, then he has to pay the corresponding compensation, five hundred gold, not a penny." ”
