The next day, the rain stopped, Zheng Xi\'s formalities were all handled, and then Yan San Ye was in high spirits.

Is it possible that you, Third Master Yan, are suffering from rain depression!

It rained repeatedly, and it was difficult to walk on the road to Huai\'an. It was muddy everywhere, and there was light rain sometimes. When they arrived at dehuangzhuang, the local people advised them not to go forward, saying that the Gusang side where they were going was the hardest hit area, and most of it was flooded. Only one polder built before the end of the year could be preserved, and other places were vast. Even that polder, also a small part of it was flooded.

After discussion, Ling Qingyu asked Zheng Xi to stay in the inn of Huangzhuang with gold, and rode over with Yan San.

Gu sang is near Hongze Lake. This year, the Huaihe River and Tuohe River have been flooded, and the water level of Hongze Lake is much higher than that in previous years. Many places around have been flooded. The two people walked all the way, and they can see the tragic scene of flood attack everywhere.

Yan San pulled Ling Qingyu onto his horse, took the reins of another horse, and drove slowly on the faintly visible official road.

There is a large field looming ahead, surrounded by tall dams.

"Which way!" Ling Qingyu pointed in that direction and shouted.

Yan San clamped his horse\'s belly and went over there.

Along the lake bank and the river bank, a large dam about one foot two feet high and six feet wide was built, which looked like a big city. Mulberry willows were in rows on the bank, which looked like a picture. Large tracts of reeds were planted on the side near the water under the bank. The fields in the polder are separated by crisscross ditches, on which boats are driven, and there are many water gates on the Bank of the polder, which can adjust the height of the water at any time. At this time, the fields in the polder are golden, with some half fallen rice ears at intervals. Farmers cultivate them and pick up those rice ears that have been drenched by the rain.

"Han Liang is a talent." Ling Qingyu sighed, and then loudly asked the farmer of the small boat in the ditch, "excuse me, where is Mr. Han?"

"Ah?" The farmer listened to it several times before he heard it clearly. He heard that he was looking for Mr. Han. He hurriedly rowed the boat over and said, "you two are looking for Mr. Han? The old man will take you."

The boat went round and round to a village, which was in the middle of the polder field. Unlike other places, it was still clean and peaceful.

Seeing Ling Qingyu, before Ling Qingyu spoke, Han Liang bowed deeply and said, "master!"

"This? Is that what I said?" Ling Qingyu couldn\'t figure it out and helped him up.

"If the owner hadn\'t said how to build the polder at the beginning, this land would not be preserved in this year\'s flood." Han Liang laughed.

"This is not my wisdom, but your wisdom. Polder fields have existed since ancient times. Hehe, I dare not take this credit." Ling Qingyu said embarrassed. She added some ideas of later generations\' water conservancy projects, but the practice of polder fields is mostly the wisdom of the working people in ancient China, some of which are far more useful than those in later generations. This credit must not be taken, not to mention that at the beginning, she casually said that it is definitely Han Yu\'s credit to build such a large-scale polder fields.

Han Liang smiled and said no more, taking Ling Qingyu into the room. At the beginning, Ling Qingyu gave him 100000 Liang silver tickets. He visited Huai\'an all the way. He saw that there were big families taking in victims and accumulating many refugees. The local government took a headache, so they went to local officials to buy a large area of marshland and water near Hongze Lake. They even bought belts and hired a large number of refugees. They built a large-scale embankment near Hongze Lake, dividing the original marshland and wasteland into several pieces and began to improve them. Now a year has passed, There are more than 700 hectares of fertile land, nearly a thousand fixed tenants below, and hundreds of slaves who sell themselves as slaves.

Han Liang took out both the land deed and the body deed and handed them to Ling Qingyu.

Ling Qingyu didn\'t answer, but asked, "I see that the construction here is very reasonable, and the layout of the field is also very particular. Such a heavy rain, there are not many crops in the field. Does Mr. Han have a good helper?"

"Haha, I\'m really in charge!" Han Liang laughed and shouted to the inner room, "how about coming out."

Several people came out of the inner room, including two middle-aged people, wearing trouser legs and a pair of old farmers.

Ling Qingyu immediately stood up and bowed, "Ling Qingyu has seen you all. It is really a blessing to the people that you have built this polder so well!"

"The head of the family doesn\'t have to be polite." At present, a middle-aged man rushed forward a few steps, helped her up and said with a smile, "Mr. Han was right."

Seeing Ling Qingyu looking over in doubt, Han Liang hurriedly coughed twice and pointed to the two middle-aged humanitarians: "the head of the family will introduce you. This is Zhang Wen, Mr. Zhang. He built our polder bank, and this is Mr. Yang Wanli, who planned the layout of the whole polder." Pointing to the other three young humanitarians, "this Ma Lin, who has a lot of research on Mulberry farming, is Tao Xin and Tao Jiu. These two brothers take care of our land and those lakes."

Zhang asked Yang Wanli that Ma Lin was a technical expert and Tao Xintao had been a manager for a long time. Ling Qingyu greeted them one by one with a smile, looked around and asked, "where are Shang Qi and them?"

"It began to rain upstream again. They went to check the polder bank in front." Han Liang laughed. Then everyone sat down separately.

"If these fields are reconstructed for another two years, it is estimated that the annual output of two or even three stones can be achieved." Han Liang said. Lingqingyu\'s annual rent for the first year is only three Dou. This year, those tenants can have a large surplus. Next year, the output will increase, and the rent can also be restored to five points.

"When I came here this time, I saw a large area of flooded fields here. How affected are our polder fields?" Ling Qingyu asked that she was not very concerned about the land rent. Seven hundred hectares of land was more than 70000 mu of land. Even if the rent of one mu and one stone was more than 70000 Liang a year, which was really a small number for her. She was more concerned about whether she could continue to annex land.

"Ours is fine. Basically, there is no loss, but the fish farming in the lake was seriously damaged. The mulberry trees on the Bank of the polder can be picked next year, and the weaving workshop can also be established next year." Han Liang smiled.

"So." It seems that Han Liang doesn\'t plan to add fields here. Also, nothing can be done. The gun blows out the first bird. Ling Qingyu figured it out, and then laughed and said, "I saw a kind of cotton in fanwai and Qiongzhou. I don\'t know whether it can be planted here?"

"Is it gibbet?" Ma Lin asked.

"Yes, it\'s the local name."

"Can the master get some?"

"Natural energy." Ling Qingyu said to Ma Lin, "Mr. Ma, I want to ask, if it\'s near the Northwest heishuiguan, what\'s a good way to produce grain?"

"Blackwater pass?" Several people looked at each other for a moment, and asked, "that\'s the boundary of Xinzhou, which is at the junction of Dangxiang Qidan. There is a war going on there now, and there has always been more mountains and less land, so it\'s difficult to produce grain. The head of the household wants to buy land there?"

auzw. "Xinzhou? Isn\'t there a Yanmen pass?" Ling Qingyu asked, she has been to this place, so I remember, to tell the truth, Yang Zhao and they have always said heishuiguan, heishuiguan, and she has never known where it is.

"Black water pass is Yanmen pass. The name of the former Emperor has the word wild goose. In order to avoid taboo, it was changed to black water pass." Han Liang explained.

Shit! You changed such a famous place name casually! If it\'s Yanmen pass, it\'s really difficult to grow grain there, but you can grow potatoes!

Returning to the topic of polder fields and what kind of crops to plant, Ling Qingyu had a very smooth communication with several people. These people are pragmatic and have a great spirit of academic inquiry. They had a deep communication about the concept of three seasons a year and hybrid varieties proposed by Ling Qingyu, including the production of biological fertilizer. Several people also became more and more excited. Later, when it came to water conservancy, soil erosion, and planting trees to protect the land, Zhang Wen and Yang Qianli were even more bright eyed. They kept moving chairs to Ling Qingyu, and the problem became more and more abstruse. Ling Qingyu couldn\'t parry and secretly roast. I\'m not from the agricultural college. I just watched it from the side. What you asked is so technical. How can I answer it?

After talking for an hour, when the farmer shouted for dinner, Ling Qingyu only felt that there were all Venus in front of her eyes and many birds were flying. Suddenly, I felt guilty to the other party for asking why I knew or didn\'t know when I inspected the company.

Shang Qi also brought people back from the inspection. Seeing Ling Qingyu was another exciting gift. Then Ling Qingyu very forthrightly asked everyone to sit down together for dinner. He sat at several tables in a noisy manner. As soon as he took the bowl, Ling Qingyu regretted it. The two goods sat next to her again and continued to make an exclusive interview on learning skills.

After a hard meal, he was dragged to the field for investigation and discussion. Later, Han Liang pulled the crowd: "OK, OK, go back and draw up a plan, and then see what the problem is." Fang liberates Ling Qingyu.

"Why does the head of the household want to buy land in heishuiguan?" Walking with Ling Qingyu on the Bank of the polder, Han Liang asked.

"Mulberry trees can be planted on the polder bank, which can produce silk. What do you mean?" Ling Qingyu subconsciously answered, Fang found that Han Liang\'s problem was not this, and asked.

"Hehe, don\'t worry about the heads. After your advice today, they are bound to double the output of this polder." Han Liang laughed and then asked, "what do you think when you mention heishuiguan?"

"Ah, this, Yang Zhao, do you know?" Ling Qingyu scratched his head and asked.

"General Yang, naturally know." Han Liang nodded.

"Yang Zhao was on the Aeolus the year before last. Last year, he didn\'t come back because he was afraid that people here would harm him again. Only this year, the emperor looked for him everywhere, and he couldn\'t be called to heishuiguan." Ling Qingyu paused and said, "he is my good friend. I don\'t want him to be framed again."

Han Liang looked at her deeply, so that Ling Qingyu felt hairy and sighed, "although the head of the family is a woman, it makes our men feel inferior."

"Ah?" Ling Qingyu was stunned, such a high evaluation? Is it because I stole the agricultural technology of later generations?

"There are many mountains and little land in Xinzhou, but there is a vast area and few people on Shaanxi road. It is only because of the long war that no one dares to go. If the head of the family can trust me, Han Liang is willing to go." Han Liangdao

"Don\'t say anything trustworthy," Ling Qingyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "this is my selfish intention, and there is also a lot of danger. Brother Han is willing to help me do it. I can\'t thank him enough."

It\'s not your selfishness that matters at Heishui pass. It\'s the people of Dazhou. As a woman merchant, you dare to take your wealth to help with all your strength. How can I stay out of the matter, Han Liang secretly said.

"But although the first task is to ensure the supply of grain and grass in heishuiguan, we can still think of ways to make money. By the way, cotton," Ling Qingyu patted his palm, "Cotton is very warm, and it\'s best to make it into military clothes. All the land over there is planted with cotton. This time I went to America to bring back the seeds of potatoes. Potatoes are high-yield, but they can\'t be used as a substitute for food. Then, let\'s make a deal!"

"I will not fail!" Han Liang said.

"By the way, those five gentlemen, are we employed? Do you want to give some benefits?" Ling Qingyu\'s words stunned Han Liang, and he didn\'t know how to jump here, But it\'s still a regular reply: "Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yang are actually celebrities in Huai\'an, but they are very interested in water conservancy. When I bought land in Huai\'an to recruit migrant workers, he and he knew that they had to follow. First, they looked, and then they couldn\'t help but start to participate. Instead of giving them the materials of fields, it\'s better to carry out the project according to their proposal to make them happy. Ma linben is a student of Huai\'an college, and he came here because he is interested in agriculture. He is a curtain raiser Liao, Tao Xintao has been a cousin for a long time. His family used to be a well-known family in Huai\'an. It was only because of the decline of his family that his family was in trouble. He was paid. In fact, there are more than a dozen managers below, each in charge of the tenants below. "

fierce! The famous man was so ordered by you! Although those people are said to have a strong interest in academia, they will not come without Han Liang\'s affinity, which I can\'t do. Ling Qingyu sighed privately, and then encouraged himself. There is no perfect person in the world, and I can make money. For a large company, just rely on the CEO alone, that is to die quickly, and someone under my hand must do things. I have Han Liang, Zheng Xi, Cai Jingfang, and even if I am a little softer, what does it matter.

"The overall situation here has been decided. As long as the method and regular maintenance are determined, there won\'t be too big a problem. I often come here to have a look. Is there any other idea besides heishuiguan?" Han Liang interrupted her self-construction and asked.

"Well, we have brought back many species from fanwai. Shi Fang and Zhu Weili are cultivating. The cutting of forests in the northwest is too fierce. It\'s also good to buy barren mountains and plant fast-growing forests. That\'s the general direction. See for yourself. I\'m optimistic about you!" Ling Qingyu laughed. Then he took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them to him without counting, saying, "funds."

Han Liang took it over and looked. Good guy, just take 200000 Liang at random. He asked with a smile, "the head of the family looks like he has made a fortune this time?"

"Haha, it\'s easy to say. It\'s just good luck." Ling Qingyu replied with a smile, it\'s really good luck. If there was no such disaster, how could the pirates have such a high profit? But I\'m afraid there would be no such good things in the future. I\'d better do business steadfastly. In this polder field, if the operation is good, the annual income is also 100000 Liang silver. It\'s enough to spend alone.

"Well, let\'s give 100000 Liang to the head. I want to build another polder in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River." Han Liang laughed. Because Ling Qingyu and Zhang Wanli asked Yang Wanli, the polder here is far stronger than that in other places. Taking advantage of the fact that other big families have not yet started, they still go to collect some fields, that is, the investment in the early stage is larger, but later it is profitable every year, and it can ensure the supply of products of Fengshen foreign trade.

"Good." Ling Qingyu gave another 100000 Liang to Han Liang. A stone fell to the ground in her heart. With this man, she didn\'t have to worry about farming at all.

Back in the village, Ma Lin has drawn up a business direction, detailed to how many spacing, what trees to plant, and how to maintain them. What to plant in the field twice a year, and delimited vegetable fields and cash crop fields. All these things make Ling Qingyu stunned. After doing so, will this Chuang Tzu not be a treasury in the future?

"Brother Han, I discussed with Lao Yang. The place you mentioned last time is very good. If you go to buy land, we are willing to come forward to make up, and we are also involved." Zhang asked and stroked Xu with a smile.

"Well, thank you, Zhang Lao!" Han Liang was overjoyed and bowed. He is interested in a large low-lying area in the east of Wuhu, which has become a swamp due to the flooding of the Yangtze River. If the polder fields can be reconstructed, there will be more than 1000 hectares of good fields over there. Just because the area is too large, I\'m afraid the government will not easily sell it. However, the current Wuhu County Magistrate and the governor of Taiping Prefecture are students of Zhang Wen. If Zhang Wen and Yang Wanli are willing to come forward, it will be much easier to buy land.

"Don\'t be so polite. Now who doesn\'t know your name in Huai\'an? You must be the first scholar in Huai\'an." Zhang Wen winked at Ling Qingyu and said.

The first scholar? Looking at Han Liang\'s ears suddenly reddened, Ling Qingyu laughed and said, "of course, brother Han\'s literary talent is the best." Such beautiful words, apart from others, calligraphy can scare a large number of fans. It\'s strange that people are so gentle, handsome and handsome, and unpopular.

Han Liang stared at her with red ears. You are a liar. What you and I talk about most is how to make money. Where can you know my literary talent!!!

In the evening of the same day, the guests enjoyed themselves again. After dinner, a wine table was placed in the yard, and several celebrities drank and recited poems, so they were not happy.

Ling Qingyu ran back to the room arranged for her by Han Liang early, joking, asking her to show her talent, do you want me to sing doggerel? Don\'t affect my brilliant image in your eyes!

On the second day, Yan San quickly went to pick up Zheng Xi, and Ling Qingyu continued to accompany the celebrities in their academic discussions. This time, the topic has been extended to rational fish farming and the impact of aquatic plants, including wetlands, on the environment. Ling Qingyu wants to cry very much!
