The ox cart was slowly on the road, and Lu Shang watched silently.

Because it is built in a unified manner, the houses are exactly the same, neatly arranged, all of them are five households in a row, two and two are opposite, but it is ten households and one fire, set one fire chief, five fires and one armor, and set a length.

The three hundred households were divided into six jia, and the ten thousand acres of land were divided into the land, only to see that now in spring, the mountain vines have recovered and climbed all over the fields.

Farmers are still digging canals.

This winter came early and went late, with a new round of aura tide on the Heishui Ocean, the imperial capital was still wrapped in silver makeup, Yingzhou has ushered in warm and humid water vapor, and the cold air from Mobei did not fade immediately, so the warm front and cold front alternated on the Great Plains, strangling each other.

This month's cold spring may be bad news for ordinary farmers, but it is the best for yasam...... As a short-day crop, the greater the temperature difference between day and night, the faster the tuber expands – compared to the weeds that are the most likely to take away the seedling resources, but they are at a disadvantage.

Last winter, collective labor, the arrival of defrost soil, it was difficult to continue the construction of branch canals, Nanlian Mountain roads, water wheels, houses, and relocation ...... It was all done before the early beginning of spring, and everything was in order.

Now, 10,000 acres of yaba seedlings have woken up from the bitter cold of winter and continue to grow, and the insects have been frozen to death in waves in the repeated cold, freeing the tenants from the heaviest weeding and insect removal work, and can devote their time and energy to cleaning up the remaining branch canals.

I saw the river meandering away, a row of drainage trucks built on the embankment, ten meters high, it looked very spectacular, everything else was closed, only three opened the gates, this is not to use such a large amount of water at this time.

Lu Shangjing shouted: "Stop"

Immediately got out of the car, carefully inspected one, only to see that the waterwheel turned, making a "whoosh" sound, the bamboo tube on the wheel blade continued to pour river water into the canal, and the canal continued to lead into the distance.

Not far away, there were more than a dozen children playing and playing, Lu Shangjing looked at it, and thought secretly: "Household is made up of military law, and canals are used for farming, and the master's talent is really ambitious." ”

"It's a pity that the evil spirit in this field has not yet dissipated, or there will be 10,000 acres of fertile land immediately. ”

And when he got into the ox cart, he went to the land of Yijia.

Along the way, I saw the crossroads, fifty households were lined up neatly, and in the middle was a huge barnyard, a granary, a long office, a patrol office, and a grocery store and inn.

Not far away, there is a well, all built with green bricks, and build a well pavilion on it to shelter from the wind and rain, and set up a roller to carry water, Lu Shangjing inspected it, saw that the well water was clear, and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, there were still some craftsmen who were building ancestral halls, the specifications were not high, but they thought about it thoroughly, Lu Shangjing arrived at the sentry again, climbed upstairs, and looked around.

I saw that there are thousands of people busy on the ridge of the green field, 10,000 acres are irregular leaf shape, bounded by the South Silt River, the main canal reaches Xinzhuang to the north, and spreads out of the branch canal on both sides, and the complete irrigation water network has been basically formed - such a smooth leaf vein, the theory can support the fat mesophyll, and the future paddy field is not a dream.

"The climate has come to pass, and the only concern is that this badlands has just shown signs of recovery, when will it really become fertile land?"

Just thinking about it, two tenants carried a large basket, put it down with a "boom", and shouted happily: "Mr. Lu, come and see, this is the first basket of newly cut potatoes, which is great."

"Oh. "The yams are planted in winter and harvested in spring, and they are generally harvested in March, and it is a little early now, but it is not a problem to harvest a batch first, Lu Shangjing went down to take a closer look.

I saw that the potato pieces were neat and huge, the skin was snow-white, smooth to the touch and no cracks, which was rare, and I couldn't help but be incredulous: "It's like this in the field?"

"It's all," the younger tenant replied loudly, his face flushed with excitement: "It's the first batch of the fires, and I haven't had time to choose yet, this kind of quality is one out of a hundred in the mountains, no insects have bitten, no poisonous gas has penetrated, even people can eat it...... When I came, I heard that it was a bad land, and there is really such a bad land that specializes in growing yams, and Qing Gongzi will not lose money when he buys it......"

"Don't look at who buys it, can Qing Gongzi lose it?"

"Isn't that what I'm faithful to, that ...... Geng Geng, anxious for the son"

"I think I'm in a hurry about the Yue family, right? Shui Ling's daughter-in-law hasn't passed the door, so she weeds and digs ditches for other people's houses in three days, and those who don't know how to do it think you are the son-in-law of the door. ”

"You're red-eyed ......"

Lu Shangjing couldn't hear the argument at all, so he ran to the nearest field as soon as he picked up his clothes, dug in the mud with both hands, and dug out a snow-white yasca in a few strokes, and threw down and dug a few more like this, or even bigger.

An instantaneous trance, a surge of joy, made him bury his head deeply, greedily breathing in the fragrance of the earth...... The taste has changed.

The sluggish tenant behind him was still arguing about "the bad land that specializes in growing high-quality yams", and Lu Shangjing only felt ridiculous in his ears, but when he really wanted to think about it, he couldn't help but tremble physically and mentally

"10,000 acres of paddy fields, even high-grade paddy fields......" After a while, Ye Qing's calm and determined demeanor came to mind, and Lu Shangjing came back to his senses and nodded to the two of them: "You go and invite the third master to come over, Mrs. Qian is still in the study, please come over too." ”

The two understood, got on their horses and galloped back.

Everyone in the clan knows that the young man of the Qing Dao has not yet married a wife, and the favor of Qianqian is the first, which is the dregs of the chaff when he does not abandon his feelings, and he is deeply trusted by the young man, and he even specializes in hanging books and cultivating and reading on the four walls......

All kinds of special things gradually made her have the right to speak in the inner courtyard and major foreign affairs.

As for Ye Zifan, he is the agent of the patriarch, and when it comes to such a big interest, he has to be invited.

Lu Shangjing threw the yamsa in the basket, looked at the fields and cheered, and calmed down: "If necessary, the Cao family, the mother of the lord, must be pulled in, but it has not yet reached this point, so there is no need to inform Cao Hu Fan." ”

Thinking of something, he ordered: "Quickly call for people, collect a cent of land first, before Mrs. Qianqian and the third old man car arrive, I want to see the yield data per mu." ”

...... Half an hour, Ye Zifan and Qianqian arrived.

Ye Zifan's spirit is okay, wearing a beige cotton robe, only because of his wife and son, his hair is half white, which makes people look at pity, but at this time he is carefully checking the situation of the yamava.

"There is still half a month before the large-scale vine raising, but just one point of land, the harvest is 200 catties, and that one mu is 2,000 catties. ”

"It's higher than the standard of 1,500 catties predicted when the lord left, and this is a high-quality sweet potato that can be eaten by people—" Lu Shangjing said.

Qianqian came back to her senses and frowned: "This is a bumper harvest, it's okay now, after half a month, I am afraid that it will be noticed by the county, and I hope that my uncle will mobilize the clan and protect each other." ”

"This is a normal thing" Ye Zifan came back to his senses at this time, and also showed a hint of joy: "One mu is two thousand catties, ten thousand mu is twenty million catties, the raw materials of this winery, at least our piece, do not need to buy." ”

Ye Zifan turned around as he spoke, a little tired, but still thinking: "You take me back to Jiali to have a look." ”

"Yes" The group walked along the canal, fields, canals, deep wells, houses, roads, warehouses, Ye Zifan looked at them one by one, nodded from time to time, and sighed in his heart

When Lu Shangjing was invited, his nephew gave him 300 acres of fertile land in one go, and made him preside over Tuntian, Ye Zifan was a little unimpressed, thinking that it was too much, but he didn't want to spend only half a year, everything was so orderly, and he saw it himself, I was afraid that he was really backward.

Ye Zifan remembered something and asked: "The vine started in March, do you want to continue to grow yams, or do you want to plant rice instead?"

Lu Shangjing practiced deeply, pondered for a moment, and said: "Third master, I think it is better to plant yams." ”

"Why?" Ye Zifan remained silent, only nodded slightly to indicate that he heard, and asked.

"First of all, it is that the evil spirit of these 10,000 acres has not disappeared, but it is only suitable for planting yams, which is the biggest reason. ”

"The lord set a three-year plan for winemaking, and when he heard about the conflict between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the present dynasty, whether it was to keep out the cold or to clean the wounds, the demand for spirits increased, which was the largest source of wealth. ”

"Using grain to make wine, there is harm to the farmer, but also easy to cause criticism, give people a handle, maybe the state and county an order, it will be dusty, with these potatoes that do not belong to the scope of controlled food, it will be okay to have a big festival, even if there are a few villains, as long as the big festival is not bad, the title of the lord and the prince will be able to withstand it, so now there is a shortage of yams, and the general situation cannot be changed. ”

"Moreover, the change to rice is very big, the third master, don't look at the 10,000 acres of fertile land in good order, but everything is being created, the problems are endless, the foundation is very shallow, these internal affairs are just that, there is always a solution, if the county is regarded as good land, this is completely different, but it has crossed the bottom line of the Red Mansion"

I have learned a little about the way of luck, and I know that the road is not expensive and fast, and the harvest of 10,000 mu of yakava, although it is not as good as 10,000 mu of fertile land, but it is also considerable, but once the change is made, although it is beneficial to the long-term, in the short term, I am afraid that not only can I not support the lord, but also oppose the damage to the lord's luck. ”

"I was originally clothed, my father was in debt, and I fell for more than ten years, and I was appreciated by the lord, and this Longen ...... There is only one way to repay" Lu Shangjing said solemnly: "I have to think about everything for the lord, if I delay the future of the lord, I will die and cannot redeem it"

This is a clear statement that he is Ye Qing's retainer, not a retainer of the Ye clan.

Ye Zifan was silent after listening to it, and only said after a while: "Listen, what you said is what you said in your heart, this is very good, as long as you do your best to Tuntian, how can I hold you back?

Lu Shangjing listened and thanked him deeply: "Thank you for your understanding and love, I will do my best to get this piece of Tuntian"

Ye Zifan nodded with satisfaction and said, "As for the county, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Yes" Lu Shang responded quietly, his eyes shining, giving people a feeling of ten years younger.

Qianqian, who had been silent, smiled secretly, compared with the predicament of Mr. Lu when he first came, and his heart floated and he said a sentence: "Career is a man's medicine."

Remembering that there were still a few months to go back, he became depressed again, standing on the field road, looking at the sunset in the west: "I don't know how the son of Lu Dao is, when will he come back......"

In the silence, I saw that the 10,000 acres of luck were originally gray and white, but at this time, the white gas rose slightly, gathered into a piece, and penetrated into the void and disappeared.
