Chapter 50 Washing Salt Method
The ancient method of improving saline-alkali land recorded in the Agricultural Encyclopedia is also called the method of diverting water to wash salt.

In short, it is to build dikes and weirs, dig ditches, divert water to wash the soil, and make the surface salt dissolve in the water and infiltrate or discharge.

There is a river in coastal county, and the nearest branch of its branch is estimated to be ten miles away from Luoshan Village. The water can be drawn from here.

Su Mo informed the village chief of the ancient method and his thoughts in detail.

The village head sat on a chair, meditating, stroking the teacup with his fingertips.

In the whole world, could it be that the land of the king, digging ditches is not a small matter, they are just common people, how can they have this ability?

"This is a big matter, Mrs. Su, I want to report this law to the county magistrate, are you willing?"

When Su Mo mentioned this matter to the village chief, he had already planned it secretly.

This ancient method can be adapted. Water diversion can be replaced by rainwater storage, which is also feasible.

But improving the saline-alkali land and allowing crops to grow in the originally barren fields, it is impossible for others not to notice, and the government will definitely send people to investigate at that time.

At that time, under the imperial power, she will be passive.

It would be better to take the initiative to report, the county magistrate who controls this coastal county is not a stupid person, and the village chief is also a fair person.

At that time, the improvement of the saline-alkali land will be successful. If it is small, it will make a good impression in front of the county magistrate, and if it is big, it will make a good impression in front of the officials.

Now this family is not strong enough, and Su Mo is not greedy, no matter which one, it will be beneficial to her without any harm.

"Of course I would.

It's just that whether this method is useful or not is still uncertain.

If it is reported, can you suggest to use my [-] mu of land for experiments first?

If it is effective, let's promote it vigorously, and it will save everyone a happy time. "

"It's good that you can think like this."

Su Mo's words made the village head very pleased. He took a sip of tea to moisten his parched lips.

Then he raised his eyes and looked outside, seeing the scorching sun pouring down, and when the wind blew, a heat wave hit his face.

"It's not too late. I'll go to the county government right now and report the news to the county magistrate."

After a while, it was time for the ox cart to go to the county seat. Although Chen Yongwen was the head of a village, his family did not buy an ox cart.

It's not that the poor can't afford it, but that Luoshan Village doesn't cultivate fields, so naturally they don't need cattle.

Except for daily expenses, the money earned by the people in this village is almost used for fishing boats and fishing nets.

The village head stood up, called out Hui Niang, and asked her to help pack her things and prepare to go to the village to make a bullock cart.

Seeing this, Su Mo tactfully bid farewell.

"It's time for lunch."

Hui Niang picked up the teapot and asked suspiciously.

"Why are you going to the county?"

"A major event, a major event related to the future of our Luoshan Village!"

The village chief subconsciously picked up his crutches, went into the room to get some broken silver, and left in a hurry without saying a word.

Liu Huiniang stood there, confused.

What's the big deal that you don't even eat?
Su Mo doesn't worry about the village chief's situation, it's enough to put this matter on the agenda.

She had lunch, and after the three children took a nap, she went up the mountain to cut bamboo.

This time, Su Mo made enough preparations, wrapped his hands with cloth strips in advance, so he wouldn't be afraid of being caught by burrs, and he didn't have to worry about the hemp rope fraying his hands.

The bamboo was cut a bit too much, but fortunately she opened a new road, directly from the bamboo forest to the side of the old house, walked back and forth three times, and it only took three quarters of an hour.

She piled the bamboo aside and planned to make another bamboo bed.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian will grow up sooner or later, and they need private space and multiple beds, so they don't need to be crowded in the same room.

As for Gu Xingnian, who is still young and can't live without people, she will sleep with her first, and when he is more courageous and independent, he will make a wooden bed for Gu Xingnian to move to the West Wing.

The left and right Gus have no relatives, so they don't need a guest room.

As for the extra bamboo, keep it for the fence.

It has been done once, and there is another plug-in called "The Complete Book of Carpentry".This time it can be said to be handy.

The clouds in the sky are gradually smudged by the rays of the sun, showing a gorgeous pink color, like a dream.

After squatting for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some back pain. Su Mo stood up, rubbed his lower back, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.

Bamboo beds are ready.

She sanded off the burrs on it, washed it with water again, and then dragged it into the yard to dry.

The three children were all in the study room. Su Mo went over to take a look. Seeing Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian sitting obediently and learning to read, the old mother felt relieved inexplicably.

She closed the door silently and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the table, and yawned several times.

Gu Jinnian looked at the book without changing his face: "I will do what I say, or I will tell her."

"Know it!"

Gu Ping'an is like a ruthless nodding machine.

"Isn't it just a bed, it's guaranteed to be yours."

The younger brother is really stupid in reading and reading, he wants the old one instead of the new one.

Gu Ping'an grinned at the thought of having a Hsinchu bed, even the big characters in front of him felt pleasing to the eye.

Gu Xingnian didn't think too much in her little head, she sniffed her nose, smelled the smell of oily smoke coming from the kitchen, and rubbed her stomach with her little hands.

I'm so hungry~ I don't know what to eat tonight.

Su Mo, the small theater in the study, didn't know. She was cutting potatoes, planning to get up early tomorrow and plant watermelons.

Then go to the county to buy some chicks and ducklings, as well as ingredients for the banquet in the future.

With money in hand, Su Mo can be said to work harder and harder, with full plans for future life.

The dinner was ready quickly, Su Duan went to the living room with the dishes, and when he passed by the study, he opened the door by the way.

"time to eat."

"coming."

Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian quickly got off their chairs.

Gu Jinnian put the paper between the books and put it aside before getting up.

I only made one dish at night, stewed pork ribs with potatoes.

The pork ribs are soft and delicious, and the potatoes are soft and delicious. They are Gu Xingnian's favorite.

The little guy refused Su Mo's feeding, held a spoon in his right hand, took a mouthful of potatoes and a mouthful of rice, and pinched the ribs with his left hand, taking a bite from time to time, his appetite was on par with Su Mo's.

The bowls that Su Mo bought were all large bowls. Gu Jinnian ate quickly and looked good. After eating, he put down the bowl and sat on a chair waiting for Su Mo's assessment.

In contrast, Gu Ping'an's face was a bit rude, but Su Mo didn't care, after all, his eating habits weren't much better.

Both Gu Xingnian and Gu Ping'an put down their bowls with satisfied faces, while Su Mo made rounds with the rest of the food.

Then he went to the study room, brought a piece of paper with large characters on it, and began to assess the three children.

Gu Jinnian naturally passed the test easily.

Gu Xingnian was lucky, Su Mo's assessment was exactly what she remembered, so it was safe and sound.

Gu Pingan suffered only because he didn't recognize three of the five big characters, and he dared not look directly at Su Mo with a guilty conscience.

Su Mo raised her eyebrows, unable to deny it.

"Tomorrow, the number of characters that Ping An needs to recognize doubles.

If you still can't recognize it tomorrow night, the exercise in the morning will be cancelled.

I didn't continue to exercise until I had read all the characters on the thousand-character text. "

It's worse than being beaten.

Gu Pingan wanted to cry but had no tears.

When children in the village do wrong things, they are always spanked by their parents with twigs.

Gu Ping'an felt that he was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and his mother was so nice on weekdays, even if he hit her hard, the beating would definitely not hurt.

Who would have thought that Niangqin would not play the cards according to the routine.
