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

Chapter 26
After putting away the sweet potatoes, he went for a run, and also practiced a set of swordsmanship to strengthen his body. Su Tang felt that it was hopeless for him to become a top master.

This set of swordsmanship has been practiced for three years, but she still only learns four different styles. She really has no talent in martial arts.

Xiao Li emerged from the river, holding a fish basket in his hand, and the two big fat carp in it were still churning, seeing Su Tang hurriedly greeted him.

"Village Master, your method really works. You can't finish the fish you catch every day." Xiao Li's full name is Li Sheng. He is a 16-year-old boy.

"You can tell the villagers to dig a long canal in their field to connect with each other, and they can put in the fish that they can't eat all the time. When the fields are dry, they can get water for irrigation, and they don't have to go to the river to carry water. " Su Tang laughed.

The field is not far from the river, and only one place needs to be connected to the river, so that the water can circulate in the canal they dug. When the field needs to be irrigated, the water from the canal can be introduced into the field. The waterwheel is also convenient.

The main reason is that there are few fields here. Yanyang City has a large population and many fields. It is a big project to dig such a canal. In that case, it is not as advantageous as a waterwheel.

Li Sheng's eyes lit up, "It's really a good way. Before, some people were thinking about how to preserve these inexhaustible fish. The dried fish can't be stored for a long time because they are reluctant to use salt. The village owner is smart. I have seen the village owner. The smartest person seems to know everything."

Su Tang was amused by Li Sheng's poor mouth, Li Sheng climbed up to pick up the biggest fish, tied it with a straw rope and stuffed it into Su Tang's hand as a thank you, and ran away in a hurry.

Su Tang stared at the heavy fish in his hand in a daze, how could he eat it?Steamed or grilled fish?

But soon she didn't have to worry about this problem anymore. When she was far away from the yard, Jing Tuan came out to meet her, seeing the lively fish in her hand with glowing eyes.

Yep?Pandas still eat fish?
Su Tang handed the fish in his hand to the fat cat-like Jing Tuan, and saw that it showed two sharp canine teeth, firmly biting the back of the fish, no matter how the carp thrashed, it didn't move at all.

Jingtuan took a carp half the size of it in its mouth, and hopped back home, happy like a child.

Su Tang couldn't help marveling at the strength of the shocking group and the bite force of the mouth. Even if a person holds it in his hand, he may not be able to hold such a big churning fish firmly. Wild pandas are indeed very ferocious.

The place where the sweet potatoes are piled up outside the yard is already full of people, looking at the huge sweet potatoes and discussing what these are.

"The village owner said that this is the food we want to grow."

"Can this big pimple be eaten?"

"It's edible. I just pulled a little tail and tasted it. It's quite sweet."

Yingyue hurriedly stepped forward to stop those eager hands, "These are seeds, if you eat them, there will be nothing to grow."

The villagers backed away after hearing this. Seeds are the roots of the people, but everyone who farms knows the preciousness and importance of seeds.

"Where did these come from?" A thin man with sunken eyes approached and asked.

"These are called sweet potatoes. Of course, the village owner tried to get them. You just wait to plant them." Yingyue was quite proud when talking about Su Tang.

Thinking about it, I feel a little angry. Before, this group of people complained that the master was useless and couldn't help them. Now that they saw the benefits, they moved forward one by one.

Su Tang observed everyone's reaction and frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Arrange them to sort out a piece of land, put these sweet potatoes together to grow seedlings, and then distribute the sweet potato seedlings for them to plant in their own fields.

With the seeds, the villagers are happy and quick to work. They arrange the sweet potatoes neatly one by one, cover the soil and water them. At sunset, they have already packed them up, waiting for the sweet potato seedlings to grow.

"Village master, I heard from the third master that this thing can produce fifty shi per mu, and then I have to pay taxes?" Wu Da leaned in front of Su Tang, his sunken eyes gleaming with searching light.

"You'll know how much you can produce when you plant it, and you have to pay a [-]% tax." Su Tang didn't like this person very much.

"I heard that the purpose of paying taxes is to support those who only eat idle food and can't do work. Isn't that asking us to support those people for nothing?" Wu Da said unhappy.

"En?" Su Tang narrowed his eyes slightly and sized up Wu Da, his bony body bent slightly, his eyes were full of calculating shrewdness, "If you don't grow these sweet potatoes, and don't take any benefit from the village in the future, you can No tax."

Wu Da heard that Su Tang's tone was not friendly, so he quickly corrected himself with a pinched smile, "No, no, I'll just talk casually, and the village master will do whatever he wants."

He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't rely on the stockade, he might not even be able to fill his stomach.

After a short rest, Su Tang taught them how to fertilize, trying to fertilize the sweet potato seedlings before planting them in the ground to make the soil more nutritious.

And tell them to change the land into high ridges, that is, to change the fields into strips of raised platforms, on which sweet potato seedlings are planted.

Wait until next year to change the position of the ditch to a high platform, and change the position of the high platform to a ditch, so that the combination of planting and raising the land can be achieved, and the land will not be too tired to keep up with nutrition and cause a reduction in production.

The notes of sweet potatoes say that high ridges and dense planting are very effective for increasing production. The yield of 70 plants with a ridge distance of about [-] cm is the highest.

Su Tang showed them the approximate distance of 70 centimeters, and the appropriate distance when planting, before returning to his yard before dark.

Jingtuan was sleeping comfortably in the yard with his belly in his arms, and there was a neat fishbone next to him. A main bone was connected to the head of the fish. It was clean and there was no trace of meat on it. You can tell at a glance. The food is very technical.

"For such a big fish, it eats, eats and sleeps all day, so it's not to mention how comfortable it is to live a small life." Yingyue put the food on the table in the yard, spread the chopsticks and said with a smile.

"Eat more, it will come in handy when you grow up." Su Tang said.

Not only can Jingtuan be by his side to protect himself, he might also be a good hunter.

The Jingtuan, who was sleeping soundly, shuddered and rolled several times. It seemed that it felt that someone was trying to trick it in its sleep. After looking around with its confused little eyes and finding nothing unusual, it continued to sleep with its belly in its arms.

Su Tang and the two simply ate some food, and saw a few people walking this way.

After a closer look, it was Wu Chong who came with a few people and several wooden barrels, "Village Master, everything you want is ready."

"Put the things down, let them go back first." Su Tang mused, whether the gunpowder can be achieved depends on the effect of the mixture.
