Outside Tongzhou City, a carriage.

Liu Renli, dressed in coarse cloth, raised the water bag and drank a few sips, then threw the water bag to Master Zhang Huaiyuan, wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, and his lips were peeled off, and there were two cracks, and blood was still oozing as he spoke, but Liu Renli didn't care at all.

"Have you replied to Shuntian Mansion?"

Zhang Huaiyuan shook his head, his face seemed a little puzzled, and he packed the dry food in front of him, then came over and said:

"Sir, don't worry, Lord Zhang will make a judgment. Perhaps it was because of some delay, so he has not come yet. Lai Fu is more confident in the harvest of corn and gold potatoes."

Liu Renli nodded, he was not worried about this.

During this period, he also followed Lai Fu to travel through various experimental fields. He knew nothing about it, but now he is half an expert. This thing was planted to make the people stutter and sell it for a good price. He really didn't care whether it was considered political achievements.

Thinking of this, Liu Renli waved his hand at Zhang Huaiyuan, without a trace of decadence on his face, but instead felt relieved.

"We won't wait anymore. It just so happens that the official uniform doesn't need to be replaced. The donkey carts are lined up to come and inform Lai Fu that we will start harvesting now!"

Zhang Huaiyuan knew how much Liu Renli had paid, so when he heard this, he also grinned, stood up and waved the small flag in his hands at some men not far away.

"Hey... Lai Fu, let me know and take your place, and be ready to start harvesting now!"

Lai Fu in the field in the distance rolled up his trousers, stood up from the big stone, spitted the grass stems in his exit, spitted on his hands, grabbed a small yellow flag and shook it and drew a circle. This is the communication method of Beishan, and of course they will do it now.

The dark Lai Fu glanced at the person behind him who was eager to try, and shouted loudly:

"Okay, there's nothing to say. A woman collects corn, carries a basket in front and cuts the corn cobs at any time, harvests two ridges at a time, and distributes them. The man behind him then cuts down the corn stalks directly, and then bundles them in the open space behind. Do you remember?"

Those who lined up all saluted Lai Fu. They were all local farmers and had been trained before. Knowing the details of each operation, each face was both nervous and excited.

Lai Fu waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, start!"

With a command, under the leadership of a man, these people were arranged to their own ditches and began to cut corn quickly. Some people disliked this method too slowly and threw the knife down and broke the corn with bare hands.

The man behind him even shook his arms and cut corn stalks because Lai Fu gave them a demonstration. Needless to say, the straw is fresh. Even if it is dried to yellow, it is fried with a guillotine, and then used a mill to pass it over. The livestock raised at home likes to eat it very much.

Liu Renli jumped out of the carriage and took Zhang Huaiyuan across the canal to the ground.

Lai Fu nodded at Liu Renli, but he did not get off the big stone. The plain fields here were so flat that I couldn't see anything when I stood high. Only by standing tall would I know what was wrong in front of me.

At this time, Zhang Huaiyuan had already arranged several people to set up the scales and placed many baskets next to it. This was prepared to be used for weighing them in a while. The bucket was as large as weighing, so that the accurate yield was known.

Liu Renli looked at the canals on the roadside. This thing was very suitable for irrigation after it was built, but the only disadvantage was that it was too troublesome to go back and forth. As for the pipeline that Zhou Heng suggested to make, it was not easy.

He waved his hand to the mechanical yamen runners beside the carriage, "Don't stand, go find a wooden board to cover the canal here so that the donkey cart can come directly. After all, if there are too many piles, it can't be put down the open space here, so you still have to send it to the valley ground for drying."

Those people didn't say anything. Knowing that this magistrate liked to do these practical things and always wanted to find a way out for the people.

Nowadays, these officials in the entire Tongzhou area are used to Liu Renli's behavior. After all, this person seems to have no temper. If you make a false case or treat the people badly, he can deal with you so that even his family can't recognize him.

Being an official means being a top player and the lower part. The people above like these, and they are happy to save money, so they run over quickly, carry the wooden boards to cover the canal, and a donkey cart goes by first, and start loading the scaled corn into the truck.

The old man in charge of weighing the scales did not record a single record and read it loudly.

"Including this basket, there are a total of six stones, and the back of the loading car will be wrapped around."

Zhang Huaiyuan looked at Liu Renli with a smile. He could feel that Liu Renli was very excited. He picked up a corn, pulled away his coat, and looked at the golden seeds. The smile on his face could not be blocked.

"Sir, our output seems to be quite large!"

Liu Renli nodded vigorously, "We can't compare to Beishan greenhouse, but this number is much better than we expected, and Lai Fu takes good care of it."

Lai Fu, who was standing on the stone, had no relaxed expression on his face.

He is much darker than before he came to Tongzhou. His face is now, and he is thrown into the coal pile and cannot see people without grinning. His fingers are bent, and his skin is rough like old tree bark. With holes of all sizes, he looks like he is ten years older.

"There is no high requirement for field management. As long as you plant it and water it in time, the yield is still OK. I am just worried that the golden potatoes in Dongzhuang can be very similar to those in Beishan, then this would be too great. After all, we didn't apply much fertilization management, just watering and weeding, which is much easier to do than planting wheat!"

Liu Renli nodded, "But this early canal is still a bit troublesome. It seems that before autumn this year, we will start building canals earlier. If all Tongzhou is popular, I will not be afraid even if there is another spring waterfall next year."

Lai Fu laughed and he bowed to Liu Renli.

"Adults really love the people as much as their children. This canal plays a decisive role. Although there are many rivers in Tongzhou, the direction of this water is from a large river to the south, and there is no irrigation of tributaries. These canals can be drained and drained from water, and drought can be injected into irrigation. It can be said that it is a radical cure."

Liu Renli smiled, glanced at the water canal, with a look of gratitude on his face.

"If your son hadn't pointed out this bright road to me, I'm afraid that Tongzhou would have no grains this year. I don't know how many people would starve to death. I don't know if this is helping Tongzhou people improve planting varieties, which has saved countless people!"

Seeing Liu Renli sighing so much, Lai Fu smiled on his face, and with a big white teeth, he smiled sincerely and looked to the west.

"I haven't seen the young master for a long time. I wonder if he has been doing well recently. Beishan and Huichuntang have made him busy and his feet don't touch the ground. I guess he will be even busier now."

Liu Renli blinked and could see that Fu really missed Zhou Heng. He glanced at the progress of his harvest, and then continued:

"After harvesting this batch of things, you can go back to Beishan to take a look. Just continue to plant the remaining ones. The people you brought out should be fine!"

Lai Fu shook his head, "Let them do it in practice, but they need to control it. The most important thing is that this land cannot be planted continuously. Why is wheat so low-yield? It means that the same species are planted every year, and the land cannot be recuperated, so the yield is reduced year by year, and no matter how much effort is put into, it will not be effective."

Liu Renli nodded. It seemed that Zhou Heng had said this theory, but he did not explain it in detail at the time.

He was a little puzzled. After all, it was already April. If wheat was planted at this time, wouldn’t it be possible to harvest it even in autumn?

"So according to your idea, are you going to plant a crop of wheat? Isn't the planting season now past?"

Lai Fu waved his hand, "As long as we allocated the plot, the original corn planted now change to the golden potatoes, and the golden potato planted the corn planted, will this solve the problem during the planting period?"

Liu Renli suddenly realized and laughed instantly.

"This is possible, so that you can get another season after August 15th!"

Just as the two of them were laughing, a man rushed over and pointed to the official road in the distance and said quickly:

"Sir, there are many convoys coming over there. Looking at the carriages and horses and the clothes of the guards, it seems that they were from Beijing."
