A small peasant girl who traveled through time and space picked up a war god prince
Chapter 62: After Planting the Seedlings, Enter the Immortal Doctor Valley
My second aunt's family and my second uncle's family also came to see the wasteland. Several cousins gathered around, asking Siyu what the unfamiliar thing on the wasteland was. Siyu explained that it was a new type of seed I bought from a foreign merchant. It's said to have a high yield. I'm trying to plant it. If it succeeds, I won't have to starve. If it doesn't, there's no loss. There's no tax on wasteland. Several young people also went to see the waterwheel. They all thought this sister and sister were smart, wise, and capable.
Our Prince Xiao, looking at the people surrounding the little girl, felt a surge of jealousy. Standing by, she just remembered chatting with them endlessly.
After everyone had seen the wasteland, the guests left one after another.
Everyone was so busy that day that their feet were pounding. When they stopped to rest, their backs ached and their legs cramped. The villagers helped to clear the dishes, and the remaining dishes were divided among the villagers who helped to take home.
Alas, "The small banquet ends in the cool breeze, and I walk back across the flat bridge under the moonlight. The music and singing return to the courtyard, and the lights shine on the pavilions.
As the sun sets in the west, the sunset dyes half the sky red, and the busy day finally comes to an end.
Everyone returned to their assigned rooms. Siyu stood by her bed. Looking at the modern-looking room and the large, modern-feeling bed, she felt a little dazed.
Today Siyu didn't have time to clean up the space. She drank some spiritual spring water and lay down on the bed to sleep. She was really tired and sleepy. Xiao Wang was also admiring the building and furniture from the house. It looked like he had never seen anything before. When he entered the bathroom and saw the tap water, turning on and off, on and off, he thought it was very interesting and unique. He could wash freely like this without having to soak in the bathtub. After washing, he came out and lay on the soft big bed and soon fell asleep.
Back in the capital, the emperor received a letter from his secret guards. Upon opening it, he discovered it was from his third son. He was thrilled and delighted to learn the antidote had actually been found. Even more surprising was the fact that the Immortal Medicine Valley was located within the Yulong Dynasty. On this continent, the elusive Immortal Medicine Valley, a godlike existence, was actually within the Yulong Dynasty. How could this not be surprising and unexpected?
There was also a blueprint inside. What kind of luck did this Third Emperor have? He might have had the luck of a lucky koi fish, but he wasn't quite there. Anyway, he had found a treasure. This time, the blueprint was provided by that little girl again.
I couldn't imagine an eleven-year-old girl. She was the one who detoxified the poison, and the blueprint was also drawn by this little girl. It was a blueprint for a waterwheel. Looking at the detailed instructions Long Linxiao had given him for making it, as well as how to use it, it had a wide range of applications. The Emperor felt that this was a major project that would benefit both the country and the people, solving the common people's water shortage. How many people in the Yulong Dynasty had to carry water to the fields on their shoulders? How many hands and shoulders had been saved by this waterwheel?
The emperor was so excited he nearly cried. He spoke incoherently to the sky, nearly kneeling down, clasping his fists and saying, "God bless my Yulong Dynasty!" "Send me this person who will bless the Dynasty!" Then the emperor put the blueprints away. He summoned Lord Liang from the Ministry of Works and ordered them to work overnight, take the blueprints, and build a prototype. Once it was built, they would test it at the imperial farm. If it turned out as the blueprints said, they would install waterwheels in every prefecture, paddy field, or other water-scarce area.
The emperor then went to the queen's bedroom and told her about Prince Xiao's ability to detoxify. He also told her about the irrigation difficulties of the Yulong Dynasty and that there was a solution.
There is a problem that can be solved by a waterwheel. The queen was also very surprised, thinking that God was very fair to them, sending them someone who could detoxify her son and help the Royal Dragon Dynasty develop and grow in the future.
The emperor and the queen said, how should we reward this little girl?
The Queen said, "Your Majesty, you decide. The Emperor said that this time, he cannot just reward me with some gold and silver. In addition to the last time's curved plow and this time's detoxification for the emperor's son, he also created this magical artifact that benefits the country and the people. This time, no matter what, he must reward me generously."
How about this?
Let's make him a county lady! Although it's a bit unfair, it can only be done this way slowly. The Queen thought it was okay. So she said, "If the Emperor thinks it's okay, then it's fine." The Emperor and the Queen agreed to make Bai Siyu a county lady. The Emperor told the Queen that the Ministry of Works had already made it, and after the trial, the reward would be given.
Her name is Liping County Lady, so let's make Liping County and Pingchuan County her fiefdom...
The stars were sparse, the sky in the east was turning pale, and the red sun was rising gradually. The maids and servants were busy in the courtyard. Siyu stood on the balcony and stretched towards the sun in the east. She turned around and met the half-smile of Prince Xiao. The two looked at each other, and she looked at her body wearing only Xie's clothes. She quickly withdrew her hand and ran back to the house shyly. She felt that she could not lose, so she put her hands on the door and stuck her head out again, showing Prince Xiao a provocative smile. She went back to the room to continue washing up. She came downstairs and saw a table full of prepared meals. Lan Niang asked Siyu if she was going to plant rice today. Siyu replied, yes.
Mother, you don't have to go, just stay at home. At noon, watch the maids and servants make some food and send it to the fields. Lan Niang nodded, "Okay, my daughter."
Siyu then ordered Baizhi to call housekeeper Fang.
Siyu said, Uncle Fang, I will be away tomorrow and I'll need you to take care of me.
Please also take care of our workshop. It is the season for picking wild wood ear mushrooms. The villagers will go to the mountains to pick them and bring them back. You can ask them to dry them before collecting them.
Dried black fungus is 30 wen per pound, clean and free of impurities. Please supervise the collection at home. How much money is left in the account?
Butler Fang said
The young lady still has one hundred thousand taels of silver in her account, five hundred and twenty taels of silver, and four hundred and seventy-five coins in loose change.
Siyu nodded, "That's fine, Uncle Fang. You can look after the servants and maids in the house. If they are literate and have good character, train them. This will make it easier for us to open a shop in the future."
Uncle Fang replied, "Yes, Miss."
Uncle Fang, please place a literate maid next to the aunts in charge to keep accounts and help them learn some management skills.
Butler Fang, don't worry, Miss, I understand.
Siyu, okay, Uncle Fang, I'm going to the fields. And Uncle Fang, if there's anything in the fields that Uncle Luo can't handle, you can arrange for it to be resolved.
Butler Fang, yes, Miss, I will definitely take care of the affairs of the household and the wasteland with Robert.
Well, after I finish planting the rice seedlings today, I'll go out tomorrow.
"Butler Fang, don't worry! Miss, I will do my best."
The lotus leaves are just beginning to show their tips, with only dragonflies perched above them. Today we're going to plant rice. The 300 mu of paddy fields we've reclaimed from the wasteland wouldn't be enough for Robert and his daughter, plus the farmhand, to finish in a day.
Siyu asked Li Si to go to the village and find 50 people, paying them 30 wen a day. Soon, the wasteland was filled with people planting rice. Siyu demonstrated to Robert how to shovel the seedlings, and Prince Xiao followed closely behind Siyu. Siyu shoveled out the seedlings and placed them on a shoulder pole. Prince Xiao, eager to try it out, took up the pole. After a wobbly walk, he finally found his balance and carried the seedlings to the edge of the paddy field, placing them on the embankment. Others were carrying seedlings and planting them in the field. Siyu saw them planting the seedlings as densely as onions and quickly stopped them. She went down to show them how to plant them, telling them not to plant them too closely. The rows should be 30 centimeters apart, and the plants 15 centimeters apart. Siyu gave them a rope to tie them up and told them to plant the seedlings the same way. The village head and the village chief arrived at the edge of the field, and like everyone else, their faces were filled with disapproval.
Everyone looked at Siyu's sparse planting and asked, "Can the yield be increased like this?" The village head replied, "Yu girl, you planted the rice late to begin with, and now you're planting it so sparsely. Won't that cause the soil to collapse?"
Thinking of Rain
"Dear uncles and grandfathers, it's not too sparse, this is just right. If it's too dense, the seeds will compete for nutrients, and the survival rate of the seedlings will be low, and the yield will be poor!"
The uncles next to me said
"We usually plant three or four more plants in the gaps you have here," Siyu said, "but that's too dense and not good." The young man thought Siyu's words made sense. But the old farmer thought it made no sense. How could someone who had been farming his whole life be worse than a young girl who didn't know how to farm?
But they just thought about it in their hearts and didn't dare to say anything. After all, the land belonged to them and they could plant it however they wanted.
How does the saying go? If you don't follow your boss's lead, you'll work yourself to death and achieve nothing. Just do what your boss tells you to do.
So everyone could only continue to work silently. Following Siyu's instructions, they finished planting over 300 acres of land with over 80 people before dark. After planting, everyone collected their wages and slowly dispersed as the sun set and the sky darkened. ...
Siyu instructed Robert to put 50 to 100 carp or crucian carp in each rice pond after the seedlings have grown for 7 to 15 days. Robert asked Siyu suspiciously, "Miss, won't the fish eat the seedlings?" Siyu told him it was okay, saying that after 7 to 15 days, the seedlings would have taken root and grown. Not only do the fish eat the grass, but their feces can also increase rice yields. Also, I told you last time to dig that ditch and put down nets to prevent fish from escaping through it. Robert said it was already done. Siyu said that was fine, and told him to keep an eye on it regularly. Also, leave ten acres of land free of fish fry. "I'm going out soon. If there's anything you can't solve, go home and see Mother and Grandpa, Housekeeper Fang, or Great-Grandpa. They'll help you solve it." Robert nodded. Siyu then called Bai Qingshu over and told him about the wasteland and to coordinate and communicate with Robert. My master and I were going on a trip. I told them not to wait for me to come back and leave a mess. I also told them to remember the growth process of potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as rice and rice paddy fish, so that they could be used in the future.
Bai Qingshu nodded in agreement.
I remember everything! Also, uncle, tell the farmhands to work hard and give them year-end bonuses if they perform well at the end of the year. Bai Qingshu said happily
