I have been farming since I crossed over.

After everything was arranged for the opening of the commercial street in Zhuli County, Yang Mingxi raised her head slightly, glanced at the sky, and secretly calculated the time in her heart.

There is only one day left until the official opening on August 12, which means that all preparations are about to face the final test.

Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang couldn't help much, so after a short rest, they began to discuss the next itinerary.

After careful consideration, the two agreed that it was necessary to personally check the progress of the reclamation of the wasteland purchased by Lu Changchun in Zhuli County.

After all, this land plays a vital role in future development.

When they told Lu Changchun about this idea, Lu Changchun nodded without hesitation and agreed, saying that he would be very happy to lead them to inspect.

So, the group set off towards the wasteland of Zhuli County.

Zhuli County is adjacent to Qingshui County to the south.

The geographical environment here is quite similar to that of Qingshui County, with both vast land and pleasant climate conditions.

The wasteland that Lu Changchun bought happened to be located at the junction of Zhuli County and Qingshui County. The terrain was a gently sloping slope, forming basin-shaped areas of varying sizes.

Along the way, Lu Changchun enthusiastically introduced the relevant information about these wastelands to everyone.

"Brother and sister, look, there are three places here that I value the most!" Lu Changchun introduced as they walked.

Lu Jintang nodded and said, "How's the progress of the land reclamation?"

"At present, these three areas are simultaneously reclaiming wasteland, striving to bring new vitality to these lands as soon as possible."

As Lu Changchun spoke, he gestured enthusiastically, pointing his fingers at the busy figures in the distance and the fields that were gradually taking shape.

Yang Mingxi smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Fifth Brother. Let's get closer and take a closer look!"

As she spoke, she took a step forward.

Lu Jintang, who was standing nearby, quickly agreed, "That's right. It's a good opportunity to see if this place is suitable for growing rice."

After saying that, he followed Yang Mingxi and walked towards the wasteland.

"If it's suitable, we can probably start sowing the seedlings now!" Lu Jintang caught up with Yang Mingxi and said while looking at the land.

Lu Changchun narrowed his eyes slightly, looked it over carefully, and then responded, "I think it should be fine. The terrain in this dam is quite flat, and the water source is relatively easy to obtain."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands to indicate the surrounding terrain.

Hearing this, Yang Mingxi's eyes flashed with excitement, and then said: "In this case, let's quickly get started on tidying up the rice seedling field. We can't miss the good time for sowing!"

"Okay, then I'll arrange some manpower right away and have them tidy up the rice seedling fields as soon as possible." Lu Changchun said without hesitation.

However, Lu Jintang waved his hand and quickly stopped Lu Changchun, saying, "Don't bother with this. I'll send Lu Shiliu to Qianhuang Mountain to get some people to handle this. I imagine the situation is the same elsewhere. We need to hurry and try to plant another crop of rice."

Hearing this, Lu Changchun nodded in agreement: "Well, this is still the best way. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals. This way, the results will definitely be better!"

Afterwards, everyone went around the three basins and took a closer look.

On the way back, Yang Mingxi suddenly pointed to a large patch of land covered with weeds and said to Lu Changchun excitedly, "Fifth brother, what do you think of this piece of weeds? It looks pretty good!"

Lu Changchun looked in the direction she pointed, took a quick look, and then replied, "It's indeed quite good, but the only drawback is that there is no river flowing through here, so it's not very convenient to divert water for irrigation."

After hearing this, Yang Mingxi took a few more glances at the wasteland, then suggested thoughtfully, "Why don't we go over and see how big this wasteland is? If it's large enough, perhaps we could consider diverting a river across it."

Lu Jinshuo, who had been following the crowd silently, couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this: "Diverting the river? That's a huge project! How can it be done so easily?"

"Let's take a look at the situation first!" Yang Mingxi said as he raised his foot and walked towards the wasteland without hesitation.

As the distance got closer, the wasteland gradually appeared before our eyes.

It looks like a huge gourd lying on the ground, and the part close to the roadside is like the mouth of the gourd. At first glance, the area does not seem to be very wide.

When you look beyond this narrow entrance, you can discover a different world inside.

On both sides of Huluzui, there are two gentle slopes that are not too high.

These gentle slopes are covered with dense thorns, which are intertwined with each other to form a natural barrier that is daunting.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting patches of mottled light and shadows on the ground.

Yang Mingxi carefully walked around the thorn bushes and continued walking deeper into the wasteland.

The further you go in, the wider the view becomes.

An extremely spacious dam appeared in front of us. It was so vast that you couldn't see the end at a glance.

The rolling mountains in the distance surround the dam like loyal guards, giving people a sense of grandeur.

As the breeze blows, the grass sways gently, making a rustling sound, as if telling the mysterious story of this land.

"Fifth brother, look at this place, it's really wonderful! If we can reclaim all of this place, the scale will be much larger than Qianhuang Mountain!" Yang Mingxi said excitedly with his eyes shining, pointing to the open dam in front of him.

Lu Changchun shook his head and replied, "Little sister-in-law, although this area is considerable, there is no river running through it. Even if we successfully reclaim it, what crops can we grow?"

Yang Mingxi did not answer, but closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and used his unique perception ability to try to find the location of the nearest river or lake in the surrounding area.

Soon, Yang Mingxi suddenly opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face, and said with a cheerful laugh, "Come with me! From what I feel, the air here is so moist, there must be a river or lake not far away."

"It's true that there is a naturally formed lake behind this gentle slope. Unfortunately, there are steep cliffs near us, and it's impossible to divert the lake water to irrigate the farmland. I have already gone there to check it out myself." Lu Changchun hurriedly explained.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mingxi's lips curled up slightly, and she responded confidently: "It's okay, it's okay, and take us there to find out what's going on. In fact, this cliff is more advantageous, and it will be easier to divert water." After she finished speaking, she turned around without hesitation and walked towards the gentle slope on the left.
