Chapter 235
Mu Si stayed inside for half an hour before leaving. No one knew what he had said to Emperor Jing Yong.

Fu Sheng hunched over and walked in, looked at the sleepy Emperor Jing Yong, and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, do you want to sleep?"

Emperor Jing Yong nodded slightly and got up.

Fu Sheng quickly reached out to help, before leaving, he looked at the table quietly.

It was full of memorials, but he still saw a piece of paper sandwiched in it, only one corner was exposed, which said the eldest son of King Dingnan.

Fu Sheng squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the fifth day of March, Xiao Jin received an order from Emperor Jingyong to officially start construction. He was overjoyed and went to Luoshan Village on the same day to make an appointment to improve all the saline-alkali land in Luoshan Village.

This is different from Su Mo's time. Luoshan Village has a lot of saline-alkali land, and it is not a trivial matter to divert fresh water. Opening canals is definitely inevitable.

Xiao Jin was worried, the manpower was okay, but the tools were not enough. If he wanted to, he had to ask other county magistrates to borrow them, but he sent letters to ask a few times, but they used all kinds of excuses to prevaricate him.

Let's find the magistrate. The magistrate is also newly appointed this year. He told him openly and secretly that there is nothing he can do about it.

Xiao Jin was forced to stop like this, and the village head felt a little flustered when he saw that there was no movement suddenly.

After all, the men in the whole village did not go fishing, and the day laborers also came back. They were all waiting at home, waiting for Xiao Jin to bring the farm tools and start working.

Xiao Jin is also worried, this is a major matter related to his future, when he came here, he issued a military order, and he might lose his head.

He walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, feeling that his head was going to be bald.

The master who followed him also felt dizzy when he saw it.

"Master, why don't you listen to me and upload this matter."

Xiao Jin paused, hesitating a little.

The main reason is to submit the memorial. What if Emperor Jingyong thinks that he can't do this well and is disappointed in him and won't reuse him in the future?
The master saw Xiao Jin's thoughts at a glance, and he quickly persuaded: "You are still young, and this is your first time in office, and you are being released, so it is reasonable that you can't deal with those old fritters. Besides, this matter does not have to be reported to you." Your Majesty..."

Xiao Jin was slightly startled, and looked at him, only to see Master smiling like an old fox, his eyes narrowed, "Master always misses you, and wrote many letters of greetings, shouldn't it be time for you to reply?"

Xiao Jin suddenly realized, "Hurry up, grind ink for me."

Seeing that he had figured it out, the master breathed a sigh of relief, strode to the desk, and began to grind ink for him.

Xiao Jin wrote and revised, revised and rewritten, and asked the master to help read it, and finally finalized the content, dried the ink and handed it to the master.

"You go to the post station yourself, let them hurry up and deliver it to the capital as soon as possible."

Master took the order, put the envelope away with a serious face and left.

The master is right, this matter does not necessarily have to be directly reported to the Son of Heaven.

After all, those county magistrates dared to prevaricate him, saying that no one instructed him. He didn't believe it. There were only so many official positions. If he made meritorious service and rose, someone would be implicated and transferred, and no one wanted to be squeezed out.

If he submitted the booklet, he would inevitably be suppressed by others. When the Holy Majesty saw it, the day lily would be cold.

But it's different for him to write a letter from home. Who would stop a letter from home if he has nothing to do.

Besides, as a son, he complained about difficulties to his father, and it is normal for this father who loves his son to pass on the matter and ask the Holy Spirit to make the decision.

Xiao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and after recuperating for a few days, he sent people to Luoshan Village again to deliver the existing farm tools and let them follow the plan they had set at the beginning.

There are really not many agricultural tools in the yamen of Haiyan County, and they are mainly villages that can farm.

So they are not like the county government in other counties, not only have hoes, but also several iron plows.

On Xiao Jin's side, there was only one iron plow in the entire warehouse, not a deep plow. He rubbed his brows and asked the yamen servants to find the village chiefs from all the villages except Luoshan Village. A plow for deep plowing was sent to Luoshan Village, along with eight cows.

When the village chief looked at those things, he almost burst into tears.

That night, the village head called the whole village to talk about the improvement of soil quality.

In fact, the main thing is to determine who is the first to use the deep plow. After all, digging with a deep plow is faster than digging with a hoe.

"I won't say much, I have a box here, and you have seen these eight chopsticks, one end is red, I mixed it into this pile of chopsticks, and then poured it into the box, one person from each of you Come and draw, and those who get the red chopsticks can use the ox and the deep plow."

After the village chief finished speaking, he mixed the chopsticks together and put them in through the round hole on the top of the wooden box.

"The order of drawing lots is based on the number of acres of each family's field, the least is drawn first, and when the lot is drawn, the land is plowed, and those who are not drawn will be drawn again until the first deep plowing is over.

I will ask someone to write down this order when the time comes, and the further cultivation will follow this order. "

After finishing speaking, the village chief gave his son a wink, and Chen Jinyuan hurriedly stepped forward, opened the list from the yamen, and started calling for someone.

This was just luck, Su Mo blinked, and glanced at the little girl he was leading and wanted to follow.

She still has eight acres of land.

Although Su Mo only had eight acres of saline-alkali land left, the village head still counted it as fifteen acres. After the people in Luoshan Village smoked a small half, Chen Jinyuan called her name.

Su Mo squeezed Gu Xingnian's hand, "Xingnian, help your mother to take it?"

Gu Xingnian's eyes lit up, she had a lot of fun watching others pick chopsticks, she wanted to go but was afraid that her mother would not want to, who knew that her mother would actually ask her to go.

She nodded quickly, and ran over humming.

The village head and Chen Jinyuan were both stunned, looking at Su Mo, as if wondering if it would be too much fun.

Su Mo said with a smile, "Xingnian is lucky, she will definitely get one."

Everyone only thought that her words were a joke, and the left ear went in, and the right ear came out, and some people even looked lively, thinking that if they didn't win, they wondered if this Gu Su family would take Gu Xingnian's anger.

The box was placed on the table, and Gu Xingnian couldn't reach it. Seeing this, Chen Jinyuan hugged her up.

"Thank you~" Gu Xingnian thanked obediently, then stretched out her hand into the box, thanks to the box not being deep, her hands could touch the chopsticks.

Gu Xingnian touched left and right, blinked his eyes, and took his hand back after a while.

She didn't even look at the chopsticks in her hand, and handed them over after Chen Jinyuan put her down.

Chen Jinyuan looked down and was stunned.

One end is red, what Su Mo said is actually true, Gu Xingnian is really lucky.

He came back to his senses and quickly raised his chopsticks, "The third household, the Gu family."

Everyone was stunned.

Then, those who hadn't smoked their chopsticks hurriedly asked people to go back and bring their children.

But Su Mo, who caused all this, took Gu Xingnian by the hand, met Gu Qinhan who was waiting for her at the intersection holding a lantern, and went back to Gu's house together.
