The little girl of the Jiang family who is loved by the group will learn the fairy method

Suzhou in October is already very cold.

After Jiang Wenyuan sorted out the affairs of the government office and made arrangements.With only a coachman, a servant, Aping, two entourages, and his worried baby daughter, he left the city of Suzhou in light clothes and went out for inspection.

An official should not always sit in the courtroom, but must often go among the people to see the local customs, see what the people eat and what they lack.

Suzhou has 17 counties under its jurisdiction, and Fucheng is located in the central area.The southeast plains are mainly planted with wheat.Except for a small amount of wheat and cotton in the central part, there is highland barley.

The north is full of grasslands, and a small number of herdsmen make a living by grazing.Not to mention the northwest border land, it is full of large areas of Gobi Desert, barren land.

Although the whole of Suzhou is dry and rainless, there is a large river running through the whole area from west to east, so there is no shortage of water.

The Lianjiang River originates from Lianyuan Mountain, which is formed by the snow water of Lianyuan Mountain and has abundant water.There are countless tributaries under it, nourishing and nourishing countless creatures on this land.

Jiang Wenyuan decided to go to the west for protection first.The first stop is Dengyong County.Along the way, there are large stretches of weeds and beaches, and only the fields near the villages are open.Jiang Wenyuan stopped the carriage and carefully inspected the field. It was indeed very barren.

A few miles away, there is a river, which seems to be a tributary of Lianjiang.It's just that it is far away from the fields, and there are no reliable water diversion measures for irrigation. Just relying on manpower to carry water is enough to show how low productivity is.

The terrain here is too flat, obviously not suitable for damming the river.I have to think of a way to pump up the water in the river continuously.

There you have it, the waterwheel.

This thing is a sharp weapon for pumping water to irrigate the ground.In the small garden of the inpatient department of the hospital, there is a landscaping made of waterwheels.It is also the place where patients like to go most, and there are even many people who take pictures there.

Get it when you get back tonight.

At noon, Jiang Wenyuan led her to knock on the gate of a farmhouse.It was an old woman who opened the door.She asked in a strong dialect, "Who are you?"

I heard that I was just passing by and came in to ask for a bowl of hot water.The old lady welcomed them into the house very warmly, and at the same time called the family to bring hot water for the guests.

The room was full of women and children, everyone was holding chopsticks, obviously eating lunch.Seeing this group of strangers coming in, he quickly stood up and gave up his seat.

In the middle of the table was a small bowl of dark pickles.Everyone's bowl has only one bun the size of a child's fist.

Seeing Jiang Yuqing staring at the dining table, the old woman thought she wanted to eat.However, each of their family has only one, and there are no more.

After the mother-in-law wiped the old clothes with her embarrassing hands, she broke off the unbitten side of her cornbread and handed it to Jiang Yuqing.

Jiang Yuqing paused, took it with both hands, and said thank you sincerely.

At this time Jiang Wenyuan handed over a bundle and said: "Old man, we have some dry food, can you please ask your family to warm it up for us, we will give you some money."

The mother-in-law said that it was just hot dry food, and money was needed.When I opened the bag, I saw a bag full of white flour steamed buns, and I couldn't help being stunned.

Her daughter-in-law took the initiative to take the burden and went into the kitchen.

The re-steamed steamed buns, Xuanruan, have the unique fragrance of fine grains, which makes the children salivate and stare straight at the eyes.

Jiang Wenyuan took out his share, and divided the rest among the children.The mother-in-law was very embarrassed, and said that she had taken advantage of them.He turned around and went to the kitchen to cut a plate of pickles.

Jiang Wenyuan talked to his mother-in-law while eating steamed buns with pickles, and asked what the children in the family were doing for a living.What have you planted at home, and what have you harvested?

The mother-in-law said: "My three sons have all gone to Suzhou Fucheng to find odd jobs. Our place has a bad climate, so we only grow some highland barley and cotton every year.

This year, God gave me face, it rained a few times, and the harvest of highland barley was not bad.Cotton, however, is no longer good. Worms are born, and the bolls produced are few and small, and cannot be sold for much. "

The mother-in-law said again: "My son, your accent doesn't look like ours from Suzhou. Where did you come from?"

Jiang Wenyuan smiled and said: "I am from Lingzhou, and I came to Suzhou to work for others. My family also farms."

The mother-in-law just laughed: "Lingzhou is in the south. The south is so nice, the climate is good, and it produces rice. Why don't you think about coming to work in our place? Suzhou is so poor, and from time to time we still pay for it. There is no good job if the Huns and Tartars come to rob you. Officials don’t want to come!”

Jiang Wenyuan said meaningfully: "Suzhou is poor now, but it may not be poor in the future. I like Suzhou, and Suzhou is very good."

The mother-in-law smiled happily: "Young student, you are the first foreigner to say that our Suzhou is good."

Jiang Yuqing also choked his neck and swallowed the half of the cornbread.It was made of soaked dried wild vegetables mixed with a small amount of highland barley noodles, which almost choked her to death.I poured a full bowl of water before I swallowed it.

Even with such food, they can only eat two meals a day.Eat dry at noon, that is, this dried wild vegetable and highland barley corn bread, and at night it is simply half a bowl of wild vegetable and highland barley paste.

For things like white flour steamed buns, each person can get one only during the Chinese New Year.On weekdays, I dare not even think about it.

While the other children were wolfing down the steamed buns, the little girl sitting next to her put the steamed buns away and continued to eat the steamed buns.Jiang Yuqing asked her: "Sister, why don't you eat it?"

The girl whispered: "I want to leave it to Daddy."

Jiang Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and broke off the half of the steamed bun he didn't bite and gave it to her: "Sister, I can't finish it, please help me eat some!"

The girl took it shyly and thanked her gratefully.

After eating, Jiang Wenyuan said goodbye and left.The mother-in-law took several grandchildren and sent them outside the door.Turning around, I heard my daughter-in-law say: "Mother, that nobleman seems to have lost money just now."

The mother-in-law saw the small silver ingot in her daughter-in-law's hand and asked, "Where did you pick it up?"

The daughter-in-law said: "It's the bench that the honored guest is sitting on."

The mother-in-law took the silver with tears in her eyes: "Your son, he didn't drop it. It was clearly kept in view of our family's difficulties. We have met a good man."

In the evening, the group stayed in the only inn in the small town.

When Jiang Wenyuan went to the backyard to wash up, Jiang Yuqing entered the spiritual realm and carefully measured the dimensions of the waterwheel components.After coming out, lie down on the table and draw a picture.

When Jiang Wenyuan came back, she had almost finished the painting.Her father didn't bother her, he just stood behind her and watched her painting quietly.

After finishing the drawing, Tuanzi handed the blueprint to his father, and found that his father's eyes were bright, so he knew that his father had understood it.

"This thing is for irrigation, right?"

Jiang Yuqing nodded vigorously, and said mischievously: "The one who knows me is also Dad. This thing is called a water wheel. Put it in a suitable place in the river, and use the impact of the water to continuously pump the water in the river to a high level. It can save a lot of manpower. It is suitable for use in the south.

However, the climate here in Suzhou is cold, and the river will freeze in winter. The wooden windmill boards are easily damaged during the process of freezing on the river and thawing in the next year.

I'm wondering if we can modify it to make it more suitable for the climate here in Suzhou. "

Jiang Wenyuan said: "Don't worry. After returning, Dad will find professionals in water conservancy and carpentry to find a solution together. If it doesn't help Dad, he will use flying pigeons to pass on the letter and send it back to the capital for the adults of the Ministry of Industry to give details. They Sure."

Tuanzi touched two more things, pointed to the oval fruit and said, "Daddy, these are called potatoes. The yield per mu is 2000-3000 jin. It can be used as a staple food or as a vegetable.

For cooking, it is delicious fried, fried, stewed and boiled.Moreover, it is easy to grow, easy to live, easy to manage, and drought-tolerant. Fresh potatoes can be stored for several months in the cellar, and they can be stored for a longer period if they are sliced ​​and dried.It can be planted all year round.

However, the climate in Suzhou is most suitable for planting from mid-April to early May.However, it also has disadvantages. After sprouting, it is poisonous and cannot be eaten. "

Tuanzi picked up the corn again and said: "This is called corn, also called corn. If it is planted in coastal or inland areas, the yield per mu will be higher. If it is planted in Suzhou, it will have a yield of about [-] catties per mu if it is well managed.

When it is tender, it can be cooked and eaten directly, and the taste is fresh and sweet.After getting old, it is dried, threshed and ground into powder, which can be used for cooking porridge or pasting pancakes, both of which are delicious.It is also a staple food. "

After Jiang Wenyuan listened, he was stunned.After a long time, he hugged his daughter into his arms, rubbed his big head against her small forehead, and said, "Baby, you must be a god sent forward to save the people."

Tuanzi giggled like a silver bell.

Jiang Wenyuan asked her: "Is this also from your spiritual realm?"

Tuan shook his head: "No. I discovered these two things by accident when I was in the capital. Not long before you went to Beijing.

A man's donkey was poisoned by eating the wrong food, so he took the donkey to our He'an Hospital for treatment.

I asked him what the donkey ate wrongly, and he told me that he ate a strange root at the door of a seed shop.And said the appearance of that kind of root.

I became suspicious at the time, and I followed where he pointed, and I found the few remaining potatoes.In that seed shop, I found a bag of corn seeds.

The shopkeeper didn't know the goods, and gave me half the price of cabbage.After I took it back, I planted it in the spiritual realm and improved it a bit.Now it has grown into a big one.

We will plant it in Suzhou next year, and the people of Suzhou will no longer be afraid of going hungry. "

"Baby, Daddy thank you on behalf of all the people in Suzhou!"

Tuanzi smiled and said, "You're welcome!"

The father and daughter walked west, watching and taking notes along the way.When you encounter injustice, act when it is time to act.

If the parents and officials in the county didn't do anything or knew the law and violated the law, Jiang Wenyuan didn't give the slightest bit of face.For a while, the chief officials of the counties all tensed up when they heard the news, and they all checked themselves to see if they had done anything excessive.

If so, try to find a way to fill it up quickly, otherwise Wu Sha will not be safe, and the serious little fate will have to be here, and the family will be affected.

This old man is not someone to play around with. He who holds the sword of the Son of Heaven has the right to cut it first and then play it.Sun He, whose head is different, is a lesson from the past.

After walking for another six or seven days, the party arrived at the westernmost Yumen County.Yumen County is the most remote, poorest and least populated place in Suzhou.

Going west is Yumen Pass.

In the last years of the former dynasty, the imperial court was fatuous.The Huns and Tartars often violated the border, burning, killing and looting the capital. They did all sorts of crimes, and even used the people of the Central Plains as military rations, calling them "two-legged sheep".

Yumen County was the first to bear the brunt of the disaster.

It wasn't until the Great Xia was established that the court sent heavy troops to guard the place, and the situation got better.Even so, every few years, the Xiongnu will lead troops to invade the country, and occasionally small-scale wars will occur.

Therefore, there are not many people in Yumen County. Most of the people living in the county seat or in the surrounding areas are the family members of senior military generals, and the folk customs are tough.
