Li Yifu smiled awkwardly, took a bite of the cucumber and said, "It's very refreshing and delicious."

The cucumber was covered with skin, and Li Yifu finished it in a few bites, and aftertaste it for a long time.

Li Zheng took some seeds from the crops and walked in the village with Li Yifu. Now that he has land, all of these seeds can be planted.

When he arrived at a wasteland, Li Zheng said: "You can also reclaim wasteland here to grow things."

Looking at this wasteland, Li Yifu bowed and said, "Jingyang Ling, this land is a wasteland. This land cannot even grow much grass, how can it plant food?"

Li Zheng walked in this wasteland and observed the land. It was quite a drought. He dug up a handful of soil and was covered with blocks of soil.

"It can be used to grow corn, which is more cold-resistant and easier to grow."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, Li Yifu moistened his brush with saliva, set up a sign here and wrote the word "corn".

After establishing a sign, Li Yifu asked curiously: "What is corn? Is it also food?"

"A more drought-tolerant food." Li Zheng said.

Li Yifu knew that Li Zheng had cured the current queen's illness, which was a great achievement.

If you really want to reward Li Zheng’s merits, it is not an exaggeration to go to the Imperial Medical Office to become a medical officer.

But I just wanted these wastelands, and I don’t know what Li Zheng thought.

Just staying here for the time being is better than being sent to a remote place to be a county magistrate.

I came to a wetland by the river again. The soil here was very wet and there was mud as soon as I stepped down.

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "A ditch can be built at the mouth of the river to draw water into the water, and this area is used to grow rice."

"Okay." Li Yifu let it go and set up a good sign on each piece of land according to Li Zheng's arrangement.

"You can plant tomatoes on the edge of the field."

“There are pumpkins growing there.”

“Peanuts are grown here.”

...

"The remaining wasteland is relatively drought, and the rest are used to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes."

After hearing Li Zheng’s arrangement, Li Yifu made up his mind for a long time and said, “Jingyang Order, there are more than 1,000 acres of land around Jingyang. Do all of them need to be reclaimed? We don’t have enough manpower.”

"Then find people. There should be a lot of refugees near the Tang Dynasty now."

Li Yifu nodded, "In recent years, there have been many disasters and difficulties. Many refugees are near Chang'an. They live outside and go to Chang'an to find work to support their families during the day."

"Take all the refugees who have no place to settle in Jingyang, and you can register them. If you have a family and have children at home, you can settle in Jingyang and try to find someone with a family."

"I understand." Li Yifu nodded.

Those refugees left their hometowns due to disasters and came to Chang'an to make a living, many of them had no place to live.

Give them a place where they can settle down safely, and those refugees will definitely flock to them, as much as they need.

Li Zheng saw that there were many coolies drinking river water by the river.

"Li Yi Mansion."

Li Zheng called Li Yi Mansion again, who was about to go to do business.

Li Yifu came back and said, "What's wrong?"

Looking at the group of coolies, Li Zheng said to him: "You can take the call and try not to let them drink raw water. Give them more boiled water."

"This... what's the point?" Li Yifu was confused again.

"If you want to do it, you can do it as you do it. Where can you talk so much nonsense? If you can't do it well, I will let Du Ruhui send you back again."

"Don't worry, the subordinates will definitely handle it." Li Yifu said hurriedly.

If you send it back, you will likely be sent to a remote place to be a county magistrate.

We must seize this opportunity to stay in Jingyang, and Li Yifu made up his mind.

Li Yi Mansion is quite reliable in doing business. He arranged thousands of coolies very well and would not disturb the original residents of Jingyang.

After everything was arranged, Li Yi's mansion first went to recruit refugees.

Li Zheng put the sweet potatoes in a bonfire and simmered them. While watching the coolie sprinkle the rice seedlings in the wetlands, he thought in his mind that rice seedling cultivation is very important and is the most difficult to plant during seedling cultivation.

For this reason, more than half of the rice seeds were left, and some were experimented with planting first.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing a playful call, Li Zheng turned around and saw Li Lizhi, and quickly saluted, "Caomin has seen His Royal Highness the Princess."

"You should call yourself a low-ranking official now, and you are no longer a grass-roots person." Li Lizhi said with a smile with a squinted eyes.

After glanced at the group of female guards behind Li Lizhi, Li Zheng said to her: "Your Highness Princess is leaving the palace privately again?"

"How do you know I sneaked out? But don't worry, my father and mother love me the most."

"How did you solve the nine-chapter mathematics technique?" Li Lizhi asked curiously.

"It's very simple. Just know the formula and calculation method and you will solve it quickly."

Li Zheng pulled out two sweet potatoes from the charcoal pile, wrapped them with his sleeves, peeled off the charred outer skin, and took a bite with pleasure.

"What is this?" Li Lizhi asked curiously.

"Sweet potatoes, do you want to eat?" Li Zheng pulled out another one for her.

Li Lizhi took the sweet potato and followed Li Zheng's appearance, peeled off the charred skin and ate it in one bite.

"Well! It's very fragrant, very soft." This was the first time Li Lizhi had eaten sweet potatoes.

Nowadays, sweet potatoes are still buried in the vast soil of America. I remember that it was introduced to the Central Plains during the Age of Discovery.

Like potatoes, it produces very high yields, and just growing potatoes and sweet potatoes cannot meet the diverse needs.

If you eat too much, it will be like that, just filling your stomach and filling your stomach.

Seeing Li Lizhi enjoying eating sweet potatoes, Li Zheng reached out to her and said, "Ten cents a day."

"Ten...Ten Months?" Li Lizhi immediately stood up, "Li Zheng, you still talk to me about money."

"Do you still talk about your relationship with His Highness the Princess? The princess also has to pay for food." Li Zheng still stretched out his hand.

"you!"

The feeling that I had a little bit of favor just now completely collapsed in Li Lizhi's heart. Where did she get the money she had all of her body?

The female guard hurriedly reported, "Princess, the King of Wei is coming down."

"I..." Li Lizhi said to Li Zheng in a dilemma: "I will give it to you next time, and you are not allowed to tell Qingque that I have been here."

Li Lizhi was about to leave in a hurry. The princess of the Tang Dynasty was too dangerous. Li Zheng remembered that in this dynasty, when his father was kind and his son was filial, there were also princesses who guessed the rebellion.

It's really better to keep a distance. Li Zheng kept nodding when he thought about this. Looking at his reflection in the river, I was indeed too foresighted.

Li Lizhi quickly left, holding half of the leftover sweet potato in her hand, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, "Hmph!"

Li Tai came to Jingyang County again and found that there were many coolies who were reclaiming land, and the wastelands that his father gave him that could not grow food.

Maybe Li Zheng didn't know that these wastelands were not planted, so what was the use of these wastelands, but Li Zheng was so diligent in making people cultivate them.

Maybe when Li Zheng finds out, he will blame me.

Li Tai felt a little guilty and a little sad.
