Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand

When all the crops were harvested and hung to dry on the threshing floor, the retired emperor who was walking next to Zhang Deshui was wearing the same clothes as Zhang Deshui.

He wore a blue-gray short jacket, blue-gray wide-leg pants and a straw hat.

Li Lanzhen exclaimed in her heart: Well, not bad, a naturally noble and elegant farmer!

Ever since these two came to Peach Blossom Land, Xuan Shen was no longer responsible for the daily affairs of the back mountain training camp, and handed it all over to An Yi to manage.

He followed the retired emperor closely every day, and the empress dowager was also accompanied by two people who looked like maids, but Li Lanzhen knew that these two were also top masters.

Li Lanzhen has been busy dealing with the affairs of Lishu Village during this period.

The emperor gave her the entire Lishu Village including the surrounding mountains. She had to turn this barren land into a prosperous place with abundant fish and rice, and full cattle and sheep.

After the emperor knew about this, he began to follow the same routine as Li Lanzhen and temporarily left Zhang Deshui.

The first step is to reclaim wasteland, and then to improve the soil.

She organized people to dig out a lot of silt from the reed marshes in Taohuayuan and transported it to the reclaimed wasteland in Lishu Village.

Zhang Deshui said that the silt in the river is a good fertilizer for the fields.

Next, the fermented manure from the Taohuayuan Farm was transported to Lishu Village in truckloads and spread on the reclaimed wasteland.

A year later, the soil in these wastelands was improved, and then corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted on these lands.

After solving the problem of poor soil quality, the problem of insufficient irrigation followed.

It is not easy to irrigate the paddy fields in Lishu Village, as they originally relied almost entirely on the weather. After conducting on-site surveys, Li Lanzhen had no choice but to draw a picture of a waterwheel and gave it to Li Erhan to build it.

More than a month later, two water trucks, one large and one small, were transported to Lishu Village and installed by the river.

The canal leading to the fields of Lishu Village at the river mouth had already been dug.

We just have to wait for the waterwheel to be installed successfully and the water to be diverted into the channel so that we can irrigate the farmland freely.

The waterwheel is pedaled by people. Two people keep stepping on the pedals. The river water comes up from the wheel and flows into the canal, then rushes to the vast sky and earth.

At this moment, everyone was in shock and surprise. They realized that farmland could be irrigated in this way.

As expected, the production drawings of the waterwheel were seen by the retired emperor, who took them away, rolled them up and put them in a small bamboo tube, and a pigeon flew to the capital with them.

After three years of renovation, Lishu Village is now surrounded by canals. An artificial lake has been dug in the valley of Lishu Mountain, where reeds and lotus flowers are planted and the lake is full of fish and shrimp.

Although the soil in Lishu Village has become increasingly fertile, Li Lanzhen did not grow wheat here, but only corn, and the corn yield per mu has increased year by year.

Li Lanzhen came up with an idea for cornmeal and improved the processing procedures. She ground the corn kernels repeatedly and then sifted them through a sieve. Finally, she obtained three types of cornmeal flour.

One is a fine kind of cornmeal, the second kind is a slightly coarser kind of cornmeal, and the third kind is the coarse cornmeal that is common on the market and scratches your throat when you eat it.

The fine cornmeal goes directly into the Taohuayuan kitchen and is made into various pasta dishes.

Cornmeal steamed cake, cornmeal steamed bread, cornmeal porridge, cornmeal date cake, cornmeal pot stickers······

Various pasta made with cornmeal is now the favorite food for adults and children in Taohuayuan.

The two of them also fell in love with cornmeal pasta. After eating a bowl of cornmeal porridge, they felt their stomachs felt better.

Similarly, these three specifications of corn flour quickly occupied the market of grain shops in Youzhou City and entered the homes of ordinary people.

In the past few years, in addition to Dunzi and Maiwei, Li Lanzhen has bought more than 300 people from human traffickers and brought them to Lishu Village to supplement the number of farmers.

The little changes in Lishu Village were all seen by the emperor, and now he admired Li Lanzhen from the bottom of his heart.

Every few days, she couldn't help but feel regretful. If Li Lanzhen was a man, it would be a blessing for the country. Every time this happened, the Queen Mother would scold him, "She is a girl, but she is still a great contributor to our country!"

She also warned him not to show any neglect or contempt for her as a woman in his words and deeds.

The retired emperor certainly knew this, but in his heart, he compared Li Lanzhen with the ministers in his court one by one.

After that, I always thought of a certain minister with disdain, saying that he was not as good as Li Lanzhen in this or that!

Finally, he let out a long sigh, fortunately he had left that place, out of sight, out of mind!
