Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Shen Li hurriedly finished her meal, and then hurriedly asked Bai Jin to discuss the arrangements and plans for subsequent matters with her father, and she ran straight to the next yard.

When I stepped into the yard, I saw several servants led by Zhao Dali, working hard to cut the weeds in the courtyard that were as tall as a person.

When everyone saw Shen Li coming, they all wanted to stop what they were doing and salute. Shen Li quickly waved her hands and said, "No need to be so polite, everyone. I'll ask Lin to bring the food over later. You can have your meal and then continue working!"

Zhao Dali replied with a simple smile, "County Master, we can finish our work first and then eat."

Shen Li advised softly, "I'm not that harsh of a master. As the saying goes, work needs a balance between work and rest. You must eat a full meal before working so that you have the energy."

Zhao Dali and several others responded in unison: "As you command, Xiangjun!"

Suddenly, Shen Li noticed that Zhao Dali's little daughter Zhao Yue was also working hard to pull out weeds in the grass. Her thin body was hidden in the dense grass, so she had not noticed it just now.

Shen Li slowly walked over and whispered to the little girl: "Zhao Yue, go to the kitchen and help your mother."

The little girl, Zhao Yue, stood up a little stiffly, bowed and said, "As you wish, my Lord."

Shen Li thought to herself that it was really strange to always hear people calling her "County Lord". It seemed fresh when she first heard it, but now she felt quite uncomfortable.

Then she said to everyone, "From now on in this house, you can all call me Miss."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and saluted again, saying in unison, "Yes, Miss."

Seeing this, Shen Li couldn't help but feel a row of black lines in his heart and sighed secretly. It seems that it will take some time to slowly adapt to this change of identity and title.

At the same time, Shen Shaodong was talking with Bai Jin, mentioning that he and everyone in the old house had harvested the crops in the fields in advance.

Shen Shaodong's tone was quite heavy as he slowly said, "Due to the drought, nearly half of the crops in the fields withered and died, and only one acre of land yielded one hundred kilograms of grain.

Fortunately, A'li's prayer for rain was successful and the land became fertile again. I discussed with Lao Zhai and decided to harvest all the fertile land under our name in advance.

Afterwards, I planted corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in the ground, and now they have sprouted."

Bai Jin sighed softly and said slowly, "Alas, this time we are all thanks to Fuxi! This severe drought has even the Emperor extremely anxious and worried day and night. Although Ah Li mentioned that the new grain variety has strong adaptability, after all, we have never personally witnessed its growth characteristics and results."

In the face of so many issues, it is ultimately up to Ah Li to make the final decision."

Bai Jin paused for a moment, then continued, "Take the planting of these new grains, for example. For example, how best to cultivate the seedlings, and what special conditions are required for planting on the land? These are all things we're unsure of. So I'm really curious, what exactly were your practices when you were planting them before?"

Shen Shaodong looked calm and said in a soothing tone, "Please be at ease, sir, and don't worry too much about this matter.

Before going to the capital that day, A'li had already carefully explained the relevant planting methods.

When our Shen family started planting, the village head and many other villagers came to inquire about the details.

Now, please convey the Emperor's order to all villages as soon as possible, so that everything can proceed more smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jin clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully and said, "Brother Shen is absolutely right.

In this case, I'd like to trouble Brother Shen to carefully compile a copy of the relevant information and hand it over to me after planting. Also, please let me know the quantity of grain seeds that Ah Li has. This information is crucial for subsequent arrangements."

Shen Li came back home like a happy little deer, with a bright smile on her face, and asked playfully: "Master Bai, Dad, why haven't you finished talking about things yet?"

Seeing this, Bai Jin hurriedly said, "Fuxi, I would like to ask Brother Shen to help me prepare a detailed data sheet on grain planting."

Shen Li was stunned at first, then her eyes widened, and she said with a hint of ignorance and innocence: "It's so formal! Then I'll sort it out for you now, it's very simple!"

When Bai Jin heard her readily agree, he quickly stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, my lord!"

However, Shen Li raised her eyebrows mischievously, glanced at him with a bit of cunning, then turned around and ran briskly to Shen Xuan's room.

Shen Shaodong watched the interaction between his daughter and Bai Jin, and thought to himself: It seems that the county magistrate and A'li have become quite familiar with each other during this journey!
