Chapter 161

Tomorrow is about to open up wasteland. After dinner, seeing that it was still early, Ling Jingxuan invited Chuci father and son and Zhao Hanfu to go to the wasteland for a walk. While eating, they could also explore the situation. Several steamed stuffed buns heard that they were going out, and they were scrambling to go with them. The wolf cubs, who were chewing a large piece of stewed beef, rushed up around them Finally, a group of adults with a group of small buns, plus two wolf cubs together out of the door.

"Be careful. Although there is nothing long in this wasteland, there are many poisonous insects, snakes and mice. Be careful not to be attacked by them.

Through the road they built, it was almost the scope of the wasteland. Seeing the little buns running with big and small black, Han Fei could not help but worry.

"Women.

The little buns ran back with the wolf cubs and made a lot of hip-hop along the road, just like the little wild animals that let out their cages. Ling Jingxuan shook his head helplessly and motioned to follow them on Tuesday. He followed Yan Shengrui and others into the wasteland. The ground was not smooth, and there were small pits everywhere. From time to time, you can see the big one Different caves should be made by snakes and mice.

"Is it at least ten acres from here to the tributaries of the inland sea? Was it that wide before? "

Looking at the vast barren land, Chu Ci could not help but frown. He only knew that Qingguo's agriculture was not developed enough. He thought that the land was small and the population was large?? Even Cangzhou, which is still rich, is like this. Isn't it worse for other state capitals? It is no wonder that the common people complain that the limited land has to pay high taxes.

"No, I heard that it was not so wide before. The land on the edge could still be planted. But later, the area of seawater flooding became wider and wider, and more and more land could not be planted."

Although Zhao Dalong is not a native of Lingjia village, he grew up in Lingjia village. In addition, he used to help the iron shops in the town to forge iron. He has more contact with the outside world and knows more things.

"Is it?"

The songs of Chu are silent. It is the natural law for the sea water to pour back into the river. It can't be improved only by man-made force.

"That's because successive local officials have never thought about improving the erosion of the sea water and allowing it to invade."

However, Ling Jingxuan curled his mouth and broke away from his grip with Yan Shengrui. He closed his eyes and gently sucked in the cool night wind. The sea water in the wind was not strong. In other words, the inland sea tributary was not as large as expected, and the salt content was not necessarily very high. If the officials in power were really concerned about the people, they were willing to go to the mountains and go to the countryside to learn about the local people It is not difficult to solve this problem thoroughly by dredging the inland sea and diverting the water source according to the experience of water control.

"Do you have a way?"

Yan Shengrui and Chu Ci are both excited. Can he make the inner sea disappear?

"Yes or no, please don't ask. Jiangshan is not mine. I have no obligation to be a free laborer."

Shrugging his shoulders, Ling Jingxuan kengdao said that it is a time-consuming, labor-consuming and money consuming project to thoroughly rectify the land encroachment by the inland sea. He asked himself that he could not be so selfless without caring for the compassion of the common people.

"If it's not free?"

Chu Ci did not give up, his eyebrows wrinkled. Maybe even he didn't find out. Obviously, he gave up his status. Whenever he met this kind of thing, he always subconsciously cared about it. Maybe, he was born to have to go that way.

"If you're not in the position, you don't want to deal with it. Chu Ci, please ask me again after you think about what you want."

A light glance at him shows that no one knows that he deliberately invited him to come out with Chu Yan today in order to wake him up. No, to be correct, it is to pave the way for his future and also to cultivate future allies. Yan Shengrui will recover his memory sooner or later. Without any accident, Zeng Shaoqing is afraid that he will soon know that Yan Shengrui is here with him for two months at most He may appear in front of them. At that time, no matter whether Yan Shengrui recovers his memory or not, the father and son of Chuci must go back. However, they have escaped. If they go back, they will surely lose their skin. If Chu Ci can speak to the high-ranking man of 95, it will prove that he is still valuable. Maybe he can save their lives and completely turn the situation around, After all, whether they are guilty or not depends on the word of the ninth five, isn't it?

The sword eyebrows wrinkled more tightly. Chu Ci was not stupid. He always thought that Ling Jingxuan had something in his words. For a moment, he couldn't understand what he meant. Instead, Yan Shengrui on the other side touched his chin and looked back and forth at them. The tiger's eyes slipped quickly. He had planned to go back and ask Jingxuan how to manage it. He changed his mind, He also took a good look at it for a while. "It looks like this piece of wasteland will not be desolate, but it will give people a sense of relaxation and happiness. Brother, if it turns into a field in the next year, it will be another vibrant scene."

Zhao Hanfu may not understand what Ling Jingxuan is talking about, and they are used to not interrupting if they don't understand it. However, Ling Jinghan, who came with them, obviously felt the subtlety of it. He also doubted the identity of Chu Ci, but he could not guess who he was."Well, it's a pity that it can only be planted once a year."

Looking back at him, Ling Jingxuan in the distance can not help but show a firm light in the bottom of his eyes. He must grow grain on this saline alkali land, certainly!

"It's good to have a season, big brother. What are you going to plant?"

Walking over to stand beside him, Ling Jinghan was curious. They didn't know what he was going to do.

"At present, salt tolerant plants can only choose sorghum cassava and cotton. If the situation of seawater backirrigation can be improved, mulberry trees can also be planted to raise silkworms, and the economic value and people's driving force will be higher. However, in recent years, it should be impossible. Sorghum, cassava and cotton are all one season plants, and mulberry trees are perennial woody plants. Once seawater is irrigated, it will be more tolerant Salt must also drown in the ground "

this is his conclusion after careful consideration. Compared with cassava and cotton, he prefers to grow sorghum, which can be used as rice and wine.

"Isn't cassava poisonous? And sorghum, which is used to make brooms. Why do you plant so much? Are we going to grow cotton next year

Hearing what they said, Han Fei asked curiously. He was not optimistic about cotton. He heard that the output was not high, and it was troublesome to manage it. "Ha ha Even with cotton, management is troublesome. Every June and July, we have to hire someone to top it. As for more than 50000 mu of land, the amount of work is too large. Moreover, the later picking is even more troublesome. As long as cassava is bundled into bundles and left in the river for about half a month, it is not poisonous. It tastes good, especially suitable for famine relief in disaster years. As for sorghum, who can only make brooms? Sorghum is of great use. In our 50000 mu land, I plan to plant all sorghum. In the coming year, we will rely on these sorghum to earn a lot of gold and silver mountains. "

When it comes to the end of the day, Ling Jingxuan gets better. At present, the wine of Qingguo is usually rice wine or flower wine. The cost is high, but the degree is not high. It is hard to drink. The wine he brews is only suitable for women. Because of the problem of raw materials, the annual output is not high, so the sorghum wine is different. Next year, he plans to build one directly in Lingjia village How about a sorghum distillery?? Hey, it's hard to be underdeveloped, right?

"Oh? You seem to have made plans for the next few years? "

Yan Shengrui walks over and hugs him on the shoulder. He likes to see his confident spirit, which is very attractive.

"Of course, why should I buy so much land?" Because of the good mood, the curve of the corners of the lips rose a little, and the eyebrows were filled with undisguised self-confidence and self-confidence. I believe that after they succeed in planting next year, many landlords and gentry will follow them to buy saline alkali land in the nearby county? At that time, due to the pressure, the county master will definitely come to ask him how to plant. He will not hide it, but will teach them carefully. In the next year?? hey?? Those people can only plant and can't use them. In addition to the sorghum produced in their own fields, others have to sell them to him. He can buy them at the lowest price and build a branch factory in every county of Cangzhou. If we calculate it like this, in less than three years, he will become the biggest wine merchant in the country!

The more he thought about it, the more happy he was. Ling Jingxuan seemed to have seen that silver had long legs and swarmed towards him. He was laughing too much.

"Ha ha From Jingxuan's appearance, we must be right to buy land with us. "

The people looked at him in a funny way, and didn't ask him what he wanted to do. Han Fei couldn't help teasing him. Although they didn't know much about Ling Jingxuan, they knew that every time Jingxuan showed that kind of smile, they must have full confidence. In this way, what could he worry about? Follow him, there must be meat to eat!

"Second brother, do you think our elder brother has the potential to be a profiteer?"

Ling Jingpeng bent his elbow and laid it lazily on Ling Jinghan's shoulder. He looked at their elder brother in a funny way.

"Do you know now?"

With a slow glance at him, Ling Jinghan clapped his hand. If he didn't cheat, could he earn such a large share of his family property in just a few months?

"Uncle Ling is not only a dishonest businessman, but also a rare talent for governing the country. If he takes part in the scientific examination, he will surely win the first prize in one fell swoop!" Chu Yan is like a little old man, but his eyes to Ling Jingxuan are full of adoration. He likes to learn from Uncle Ling. Every time he talks with others or communicates with him, he seems to learn a lot of different things. If possible, he really wants to stay with him forever.

"So you have to learn more from him."

In the future, he will never be bullied as before. This is what Chu Ci did not say. The only thing he felt owed was Chu Yan. If it wasn't for him, he would not be young??

"Well, if I don't speak, you all think I'm dead? One by one, the more I listen to it, the more I feel that you are killing me? "

"Ha ha."

The more they said, the more ridiculous Ling Jingxuan put his hands on his hips. A group of people couldn't help laughing, and poured countless laughter in the wasteland. It's estimated that no one would expect that at this time next year, all the people present will no longer be what they are now. When they look back, everything is already there Become the most precious memory of their life.
