The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 12 The Mysterious Woman in the Storybook
Although he admits that he is ashamed to write a storybook to praise himself, but Su Tang really can't write it, so he can only nod helplessly.

"Leave this kind of thing to me, I can praise my master for three days and three nights." Yingyue volunteered.

Su Tang seemed to see a savior, and gave Yingyue the position of the book case, "You write it, but don't reveal my identity."

Yingyue rolled up her sleeves, eager to try, and in just a cup of tea, a long manuscript was placed in front of Su Tang.

Su Tang was a little dazed looking at the manuscript paper. What he couldn't write for a few days was just done like this?
After reading it once, the Daughter of Destiny writes about the ups and downs of scaring off the bandits one bite at a time, which is fascinating.

Su Tang felt that if one day she was recognized by countless people and admired her, Yingyue would definitely become her fan leader.

"I didn't expect your writing to be quite good." Su Tang found it inconceivable.

"When I was young, my family forced me to read a lot of books, but I just love reading story books. Writing story books is a piece of cake for me." Yingyue happily looked at Su Tang with a stunned expression.

"Very good, take it and ask Wang Dong to ask the storyteller to go to every teahouse and tell everyone in the city to hear this script." Su Tang uncomfortably folded the manuscript and handed it to Yingyue.

"Ah?" Yingyue was taken aback, "You still want to go to the teahouse to tell stories?"

Yingyue thought that Su Tang was just writing on a whim for fun.

"Isn't the story meant for people to hear?" Su Tang said righteously, "Hurry up."

Yingyue thought of how the common people would worship her master in the future, so she went happily.

Seeing Yingyue walking away, Su Tang felt that he had made enough sacrifices for the people's livelihood.

But the effect is also very obvious. Since the script was staged in various teahouses and people were discussing it hotly, in just a few days, the prestige value has risen to more than 3000.

Another half month has passed, and I heard that this script is faintly spreading to Linqi City. Some small teahouses in Linqi City have also begun to tell the story of this mysterious woman with a veiled hat who saved the people in the city. Some people even said that this woman is The daughter of destiny, who helps the gods save the people who live in hardship.

In any case, the effect is very good. Seeing the rising reputation, Su Tang felt more at ease.

After half a month of hard work, the fields by the river have been opened up in a large area, and the waterwheel built by a few carpenters and many people has already stood on the Yanyun River next to Yanyang City.

Walking out of the city gate, you can see huge waterwheels running slowly on the river, continuously transporting the river water to the farmland. Many people flocked to the riverside to watch.

Su Tang followed the crowd to the river, looked at the excited smiles on the faces of the people, and thought that it was almost time to plant potatoes.

"I heard that the waterwheel can continuously transport the river water into the fields, day and night without stopping."

"It's a miracle to see that the waterwheel can run on the river by itself."

"It's the Daughter of Destiny, it must be the Daughter of Destiny who is secretly helping us."

"With this water truck, I no longer worry about the lack of food and water."

"Great,."

As the people walked, they discussed how the big wheel transported water into the fields.

The waterwheel is more than 20 meters high. The aqueduct above is connected by several thick bamboo tubes tied together. The inside of the bamboo tubes is hollowed out, and one after another is raised up by wooden stakes until it extends to the far field. inside.

The end of the water tank can be moved slightly. When irrigation is needed, the water can be directly placed in the field, and when water is not needed, the water will flow into the ditch at the head of the field.

The ditches are connected to the tops of each field, and people no longer need to go to the river to carry water with small carts.

"Fortunately, the waterwheel was built." Carpenter Li saw Wang Dong following Su Tang and the others, and hurried up to say hello.

Through the recent days, the daughter of destiny that the common people talk about is probably the woman in the veiled hat who drew the blueprint of the waterwheel in front of her, not only is she more respectful in her heart.

"I also hope that everyone can work hard to make two more." Su Tang said to several carpenters.

Their workmanship is excellent, the workmanship is solid, and it is clean and neat, but the amount of water transported by just one water truck is not enough for so many fields.

With the waterwheel, it's time to start planting potatoes, and when the potatoes are planted, it's time to go to the Lingyun Mountains to solve the bandits.

"Wang Dong, gather the onlookers together, and I will tell them some precautions for planting potatoes."

"Yes." Wang Dong responded and went to gather the people who came to watch.

Planting potatoes is not just burying the potatoes in the ground. You also need to cut them into pieces according to the bud eyes on the potatoes. The bud eyes are where the potatoes take root and germinate. Make sure that each piece of potato has a bud eye.

After being cut into pieces, the seeds cannot be directly sown. They need to be dried in the sun for a day to dry the wound so that it will not rot when buried in the ground.

Then bury the potatoes in the fertilized soil, keep a distance of [-] centimeters between each one, bury them in [-] centimeters of soil, irrigate the field with water, and wait for germination.

When the new shoots grow to ten centimeters high, the seedlings should be thinned, and the excess seedlings grown from each plant should be pulled out, leaving only two new shoots. If the shoots are not thinned, the potatoes grown will be very small.

Afterwards, after the potatoes grow taller, the soil must be cultivated several times to cover the roots of the potatoes with the soil in the gaps. One is to prevent the grown potatoes from turning green in the sun, and the other is to prevent them from falling over.

Another example is the need to fertilize and water when the buds are in bloom, and control the water when they bear fruit. She will explain the details from the system little by little. When she is not in Yanyang City, no one will teach them how to grow potatoes.

Planting crops is the experience of the farmers. Seeing that Su Tang, a wealthy woman, knows such details about this kind of crops that she has never seen before, it is inevitable that the people will be curious.

"Who is this woman? It doesn't look like she knows how to grow crops. I didn't expect to know so clearly." A peasant woman asked the people around her.

"I don't know, but I've seen her go in and out of the city lord's mansion often, and often follow the eunuch's cronies behind her, so I think she has some background."

"I've seen her." An old man said hastily, "The last time she came out to patrol the land, I also talked to her, that is, she said that the prefect would distribute seeds for free, but in the afternoon after she finished speaking, the prefect's decree came out. .”

"Recently, our Yanyang City has reduced taxes, distributed seeds, and used waterwheels. Could it really have something to do with the Daughter of Destiny they said?"

"Could she be the mysterious Daughter of Destiny in the legend!"

The common people couldn't believe it. In short, this mysterious woman not only protects their lives, but also distributes food to feed the common people. Now there are so many benefits, not to mention the daughter of destiny, even if it is said that the heavenly woman came down to save them. They all believe it.

Then Su Tang asked Wang Dong to count the population and area of ​​the cultivated land, and she returned to the small courtyard where she lived to buy potato seeds first.

One mu of land needs about 5000 catties of potatoes. She now has more than 100 reputation points, which means more than [-] million catties of potatoes. Su Tang was shocked by this number. Where should so many potatoes be put?
