Parents are busy farming

When Zi Zifen arrived at Yuanhang Buzhuang, she happened to see Li Daniu driving towards the car with Luo Keren and two other girls.

It was Li Daniu who saw Ye Zifen first, whipped his whip twice, speeded up the drive, and told Luo Ke who was sitting in the car about the situation.

The car stopped at the door of the store. Luo Keren jumped out of the car first and said to Ye Zifen: "How long have you been waiting, Miss? Why didn't you tell us in advance and let us go directly to you? It's so cold for you to wait here." Yes, what’s the matter!”

Ye Zifen said with a smile: "I just arrived. I came here deliberately. I know that your man sends you to work every day. I came to see him. I was afraid that if I came late, he would leave." !”

Luo Keren said: "Let's go, just tell me and I will ask him to go find you specially!"

Ye Zifen couldn't help but tease after hearing Luo Keren's tone, "Hey! Look, our shopkeeper Luo is not only the shopkeeper of our cloth shop, but also the shopkeeper of your Li family!"

Li Daniu just smiled and was not unhappy because Ye Zifen said this.

Luo Keren looked at Ye Zifen helplessly. It was estimated that only the young lady would make such a joke with her.

Then Li Daniu helped Luo Keren open the door of the store. After a few people entered the store, Ye Zifen said: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense!"

Ye Zifen said as he took out the prepared method of artificially hatching chicks from his arms. Pass it to Li Daniu by the way.

He explained: "This is the method of artificially hatching chickens. You go back and study it. I estimate that it takes longer to hatch ducks than chickens. The other things to pay attention to should be similar! You can test it with a few duck eggs first. Take a look. In addition, these are several copies. You can send them to the other two villages. Study it with the Zhao family and the Xiang family. Also, if you collect more duck eggs here, hatch more. If you can't raise them, send them away. Go to Lujia Village and ask your father to help raise him."

Li Daniu quickly agreed upon hearing this and took the papers over.

After Ye Zifen finished her instructions, she immediately stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll go to the Yamen."

After Ye Zifen left, Luo Keren began to urge Li Daniu: "Okay, you go quickly! We can do these things ourselves. You go back and try the duck eggs you just bought."

"Okay! You guys have to work harder today. I'll go back and give it a try. In addition, I have to go to the two villages quickly. I'll ride there on horseback this time and I'll be back today. If I can't make it back, the three of you can hire Take a car home!"

When Li Daniu warned Luo Keren, the two girls next to him laughed and looked at it, making Luo Keren blush.

After Li Daniu left, Luo Keren said to the other two people: "Okay, stop looking at it and get to work quickly!"

When Zi Zifen arrived at the Yamen, it was later than usual, and the county magistrate was waiting for her today.

Seeing Ye Zifen coming in, Magistrate Su asked with concern: "What's the matter? If something happens, you don't have to come here every day."

Instead, Ye Zifen asked him: "What do you want from me?"

"Let's go! Follow me!"

Ye Zifen followed Magistrate Su out of the research team's room.

"I plan to start digging the river channel tomorrow, and I'm wondering if I should dig it out from you first, so that the people in your village won't panic."

Ye Zifen shook his head after hearing Magistrate Su's words, "No, I want to keep those people there first, so that no one leaks and causes panic. Besides, it probably won't take long to finish, so you can release the water first when the time comes." Give it to me, and after they water it, I will let them out."

This is the most comprehensive idea I have come up with after meeting the Xiang family and his son.

Magistrate Su thought this was feasible, nodded, and then said: "Then look at how much it costs, and the Yamen will replenish it for you!"

Zi Zifen did not refuse. She could save whatever she could, but she was not rich now.

The two finally reached the room where the county government was discussing matters. There was a map in the center, which showed all the river basins in the county.

The people inside were discussing something around the map.

After Magistrate Su brought Ye Zifen in, everyone sat down.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's discuss our next ditch excavation."

After Magistrate Su finished speaking, Chief Liu said: "We just discussed it, and now we have two plans! One is to dig along the canal in all directions. One disadvantage of this method is that it is impossible to radiate all at once. The land in the edge villages is illuminated. The second method is to concentrate manpower to dig in one direction. Also, since Feng County has asked for help, the direction we are digging must be that side."

After Master Liu finished speaking, he stopped talking. This kind of statement would naturally be decided by the county magistrate.

Magistrate Su looked at Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen thought for a moment and said: "I asked Qiang Qiang to check the water levels in various rivers in our county a month ago. It has dropped a lot compared to last year. However, it should be able to supply the first irrigation of winter wheat after spring. So the first The time interval between the first and the second time should be one month. What I mean is to connect the existing rivers and canals first, so as not to affect our harvest this season."

Chief Liu said: "This is okay. As for the places without rivers, we can only give up. Don't lose the big for the small. Besides, if it rains during this period, it can also relieve the pressure."

Ye Zifen has given up any hope of rain.

She said: "After the wheat is harvested, planting corn will not require so much water, and we will be able to relax. Concentrate on digging the remaining river channels."

The officials here know a little bit about agricultural production, but they still don't understand the growing environment of crops in such detail.

After hearing Ye Zifen's analysis, everyone felt that what she said was feasible.

"Then let's just do what the Ye family girl said. But does the county have to make some compensation for places where there are no rivers and the grain harvest is reduced?"

one of the officials asked.

Regarding this issue, it was a political matter of the yamen, and it was not easy for Ye Zifen to intervene.

Director Liu suggested: "How about reducing taxes on local areas that are reducing production based on specific production reduction conditions? At that time, we will first explain the situation to the court."

Magistrate Su nodded after hearing this, "Okay, we'll talk about it when the time comes. Our intention is for the county to harvest as much grain as possible. Since this method is the most feasible, let's do it this way first. In addition, if there is still time, we can dig Let’s go through the ditch in Hefeng County!”

Chief Liu suggested: "Start tomorrow?"

Su County Magistrate Single Head: "Starting tomorrow, each of you will be responsible for an area. Chief Secretary Liu and Liu Dianshi and I will sit in the Yamen and try our best to coordinate everywhere. In addition, we will try our best to handle other matters in the Yamen."

Magistrate Su's words determined their next work content, and then the county government officials dispersed after discussion.
