After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 68
Several people went down the mountain and picked a field corner.

The ridge is not too high, so Su Mo raised his legs, pointed at the field, and explained the requirements for digging the field to the big guys.

It is to dig down and plow deeply, so that the water can penetrate down better and reduce the salinity in the field.

At the same time, the field ridges are being filled higher to facilitate water storage.

After hearing this, the men went to the fields to get busy.

Su Mo was not idle, looking for fresh water in the mountains. After finding several springs, he noted down the location and route, and then went home to West Mountain, where he cut a lot of bamboo.

The men in the village were all honest and responsible, and no one was lazy. Li Feng and the other two yamen supervisors found that there was really nothing to watch.

It just so happened that Su Mo needed manpower, so he ran over eagerly to help.

They all heard that Mrs. Gu met Mrs. Fang, and because of this, she was considered a righteous sister by the county magistrate.

The three of them used the county government's bullock cart to help Su Mo pull the bamboo from the Gu family's old house to the field.

Because of the high field ridges, bullock carts could not pass through the fields, so the three of them carried a few bamboos on their shoulders and walked on the field ridges.

After walking back and forth three times, all the bamboos were moved there.

The bamboo pipes lead water, and Su Mo can be regarded as a first-time novice and second-time familiarity. Moreover, with the help of three other people, all the bamboo pipes were set up in one afternoon.

It was the first time for Li Feng and the other two yamen servants to see such an operation. Instead of digging channels down, they used some bamboo pipes to draw the water down.

The three of them looked at it strangely for a while, then looked away.

After the bamboo pipes are connected, we wait for the fields to be dug and then store water.

Su Mo walked on the ridges of the fields. Last time, she just took a general look at the location of the fields. She didn't look carefully. This time, she realized that the ridges of some fields were surprisingly high, and there was no need to continue to fence them.

She looked at all the seven acres of land, and she made up her mind, and told the village chief what she thought.

The village chief also thought it was reasonable, but he didn't dare to make the decision without authorization, so he recruited Li Feng and asked him to ask Fang Shi after he returned at night.

The next day, Li Feng brought Fang Shi's message.

Everything is dominated by Su Mo.

Only then did the village head feel at ease, and when he asked the men to be slightly embarrassed, he estimated that it would be three feet high from the field.

This can be regarded as saving trouble, and the big guys work fast, seven acres of land, fifty people, can be plowed in less than ten days.

After the bamboo pipe dug a field, it began to divert water, and now the field near the mountain is half full of water.

On the day of completion, Fang Shi also came.

In recent years, Emperor Jingyong's suspicions have grown. Except for Gu Qinhan, the leader of the black armored guards who was raised by himself, he doesn't believe in anyone.

Years ago, Gu Qinhan broke through an iron mine. Although the fourth prince was not found, the fourth prince suffered heavy losses.

The fourth prince couldn't afford to wait.

Emperor Jingyong's body is strong, he can live at least another seven or eight years, and he has many heirs, and a new prince was born last year.

If we wait any longer, the fourth prince will only have more competitors.

Therefore, after Fang Shi informed the fourth prince of the matter of diverting water to wash the salt, the fourth prince asked whether it might be effective by the end of the year?

If it is feasible, then he will be in operation at that time, such a great achievement of turning reprimand into fat, not to mention the reinstatement of the official, and another rank, is not impossible.

Fang Shi was thinking about the fourth prince's letter, and walked with Su Mo on the ridge of the field, his eyes sweeping over the fields that had started to accumulate water.

He said, "Would it be possible to wait until next year at the earliest?"

of course not.

Su Mo thought to himself, with the soil improvement liquid, if you drip it, you can plant it the next day.

But that certainly cannot be said.

"It's hard to say.

The fields are replaced every three to four days when the water is stored, and I am not sure when the salt in the soil will be washed away. "

Su Mo said, glanced at the emerald green mountain, she thought for a while, and said:
"However, when the ridge of the field can grow the same grass as the mountain, the field will probably be able to grow crops."

Fang Shi nodded thoughtfully, and asked again:

"Is there a way to grow crops this year?"

Su Mo heard Fang Shi's urgency.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's not impossible. After the water is released, we can ask someone to plow it deeply to speed up the infiltration of water. We can barely try to plant wheat in September."

The geographical location of Yaozhou is not considered to be in the authentic south. Both rice and wheat are grown, but there is a common problem in ancient times, and the yield is low.

The two were chatting about business affairs, their tone was quite flat.

The village chief and Li Feng who were following behind looked at it for a long time, and Erzhang couldn't figure it out.

Don't you think they are brothers and sisters of the opposite sex?
How do you feel like a stranger.

The doubts of several people are destined to have no answers.

Fang Shi stopped and looked at Su Mo: "Is this true?"

Su Mo couldn't really promise him, of course she shook her head: "This is also my guess, whether it can be done or not depends on the actual situation."

Fang Shi choked up, but there was nothing he could do.

"In this way, these people are still the same. Every time the water is released, they will be asked to plow the fields, and the wages will remain the same. In September, I will send someone over to plant the wheat, and try to plant it."

"What kind of crops?"

Su Mo said seriously.

Fang Shi: "..."

I couldn't guarantee it just now, but now I will be thinking about the crops.

Speechless is speechless, but my heart is indeed a lot more at ease.

"If it can grow, I will report to the court, and the Holy One will send someone to inspect it. After confirming that it is correct, the crop will belong to you."

The relationship is good, Su Mo grinned, turned around and waved to the village chief, telling him what he had just talked to Fang Shi.

When the village chief heard that there was still work to do, Le's eyes were wrinkled.

Looking at Su Mo's smile, Fang Shi always felt uncomfortable.

Su Zhiyuan's daughter should be a pampered eldest lady, with the best food and clothing, it is impossible for her to be happy because of the promise of crops that do not exist yet.

Thinking of this, Fang Shi's face was a little ugly, and he didn't know whether it was a guilty conscience or something, his eyes never fell on Su Mo for a moment.

He paid his wages for these days and hurried away in a carriage.

Su Mo stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the carriage that drove away expressionlessly, and saw the four characters "Fleeing in the wild".

The men all went home with their wages, but they still kept their hoes, because they still need to go to work in a few days.

According to the village chief, they will not need to plow the fields until September, which is the end of the fishing ban.

When the mother-in-law heard the news, she counted the wages for these days, smiling from ear to ear, and she was even more grateful to Su Mo in her heart.

After hiding the money, I took the basket, put some dried fish in it, and went to Su Mo's house to give a thank you gift.

On the way, when I met a woman who was also holding a basket, I was taken aback for a moment, but then I was overjoyed.

"Are you going to Gu's house too?"

"No, if it wasn't for the Su family, our family wouldn't know how to survive this year's fishing ban!"

"What did you get here?"

"Here, the dried fish at home, how about you?"

The women lifted their baskets and looked at each other.

"Coincidentally, I have the same one."

At first there were two, and then at the next intersection there were two or three. By the time the Gu family's old house was in front, there were already nearly twenty women with baskets in their hands.

Seeing from a distance, Su Mo thought something had happened, so she hurried over.

Someone heard the movement and looked back.

"Don't knock on the door, the Gu family is here."

When the other women turned their heads, they ran towards Su Mo with their baskets like a weasel seeing a chicken.
