Chapter 499 The King of Destruction

Tan Tuo and An Zike went to the place where yams were grown. Seeing several yams dug out one by one, Tan Tuo was a little excited, and said to an old farmer holding a hoe, "Old man, give me the hoe, okay?" The two attendants, like scholars, couldn't tell that this was a high-ranking official. Similarly, An Zike also dressed plainly.

The old farmer lent Tan Tuo his hoe.

Don't look at Tan Tuo as a frail scholar, he is really good at doing farm work. Once dug, a whole potato plant is dug out. Looking at the seven or eight small yams above, Tan Tuo squatted down to pick them up, scraped off the mud on them, and put them one by one into the basket.

Compared to Tan Tuo, An Zike was much less familiar with this, and he damaged several of them when he dug it down with a hoe.

An Zike put down his hoe, and said with a smile, "Master Tan, have you done farm work before?" Looking at it like this, you have not only done farm work, but also a veteran of it.

Tan Tuo nodded and said: "I was originally born in a rural family, and I have been planing food in the fields since I was a child. I can't do anything in the fields." Regarding his birth, Tan Tuo felt nothing to be ashamed of.

An Zike smiled and praised.

After half an hour, one acre of yams was dug up. Tan Tuo asked someone to weigh the harvest of this mu of land, so he knew it well. When he heard that this mu of land had harvested 1,780 catties, Tan Tuo said three good words one after another. Even if this thing cannot be grown continuously, it can only be planted once in two or three years, that is very good.

An Zike was also overjoyed. These things can fill his stomach, and the output is so high that it solves the big problem of people's rations. However, it is a pity to hear Tan Tuo say that this thing cannot be made continuously: "It would be great if it could be made continuously."

Tan Tuo said with a smile: "The output of one season is equivalent to the output of three or four seasons of wheat planting. It is not bad."

The two stayed in the country until it was nearly dark, and then returned to Pickaxe City. If it weren't for too many things, Tan Tuo would like to live in the country for one more day.

The next day, Tan Tuo went to see Yuxi, and the smile on his face didn't stop when he talked about the potato: "Princess, this potato will be vigorously promoted now."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "I'm going to plant 100,000 mu next season, no more will do." Seeing Tan Tuo's puzzled look, Yuxi didn't explain too much, but talked about reclaiming wasteland : "Over the past two years, how much land has been reclaimed in the Northwest?"

Tan Tuo said: "996,800 mu."

Yuxi was silent for a while and said: "It's a pity that there is a lack of water, otherwise we can open twice as much land." What Tan Tuo told Yunqing that the army could no longer reclaim the fields did not mean that the army reclaimed a lot of fields, but There is not enough water. No matter how many fields have been reclaimed, if there is no water to irrigate, it will be useless.

The dams and canals are under construction, but the pace of water conservancy projects is very slow. Only three dams have been built so far, and the third dam will not be completed until May. According to the plan, six more dams need to be built, which will take two years. There is also a gold mine standing there, otherwise Yuxi would not be able to hold it!

Tan Tuo thought for a while, and then talked about the scientific examination with Yuxi: "Princess, is the children's examination still held in June this year?"

Yuxi shook her head and said, "Forget about this year, next year will be at the beginning of March!" March is the best time for exams when it is neither hot nor cold.

The Imperial Children's Examination is in mid-February, so it's okay to postpone the Northwest exam for more than half a month. Tan Tuo nodded immediately: "That's fine."

Time flies so fast when there is something to do. No, it was lunch time in the blink of an eye.

Huo Changqing has something to go out today, so he will not be in the mansion at this time. Zao Zao didn't want to have lunch alone, so she went back to the backyard to eat with Yu Xi and Liu Er.

Yuxi looked at the gobbled up jujube,

Can't help but say: "Zaozao, don't eat so fast, no one will grab you." This is the disadvantage of letting your daughter follow a big man. If this continues, Zaozao will probably be no different from a man in the future.

Zaozao said: "Mom, I don't want to be like my sister! It takes two to three quarters of an hour to eat a meal." For Zaozao, Liu'er's behavior is a waste of time.

Hearing the word "sister", Liu'er immediately looked up at Zao Zao, showing a sweet smile. Seeing that stupid look, Yuxi wanted to help her forehead again.

Speaking of it, even Yuxi finds it incredible that Liu'er likes Zao Zao very much, and the two sisters have endless things to say when they stay together. You know, if you don't guide her on weekdays, Liu'er won't take the initiative to speak. Also, Liu'er, who is lazy and unwilling to move, often plays with Zao Zao in the yard. Yuxi once murmured with Sister Quan because of this matter. Sister Quan felt that it was normal. The sisters who were direct relatives had been together since they were young, so the relationship was naturally deep.

After lunch, Yuxi walked around the house with her two little ones to digest. Zao Zao held Liu'er's hand with his right hand, pointed to the jujube tree in the yard with his left hand, and said, "Sister, the dates on the tree will be ready to eat in another three months. At that time, my sister will give you the dates to eat."

Liu'er opened her mouth and said with a smile, "Okay."

The two sisters started talking again on the topic of jujube. Of course, Zao Zao was mostly talking, and Liu Er only occasionally interjected.

A quarter of an hour later, Yuxi said to the two sisters: "Go into the house and go to sleep." Children need to sleep more, so Zaozao also maintained the habit of taking a nap.

The two sisters were going back to the house hand in hand. When crossing the steps, Zao Zao didn't need the help of the people around her, and supported Liu'er to walk up step by step.

Yuxi couldn't hide the smile in Yuxi's eyes, and Zaozao was only four years old, so she already knew how to take care of her younger sister. No matter how naughty she is on weekdays, Yuxi is very happy to have this thought at the age of four. What Yu Xi didn't know was that it was Huo Changqing's credit. Huo Changqing often told Zao Zao that she was the eldest sister, and she would take good care of her younger siblings in the future. After hearing a lot, Zao Zao will keep it in mind.

On weekdays, Yuxi only sleeps for a quarter of an hour in the afternoon nap, but now the situation is special, every time Yuxi has to sleep for an hour before waking up.

"Kang Dang..." In her sleep, Yu Xi heard a piercing sound, followed by the cry of a child.

Yu Xi opened her eyes suddenly, got up and walked out of the house immediately. Standing at the door, Yuxi saw the big blue and white tank with carp and lotus in the yard bubbling water.

Mei Yun said cautiously: "Princess, the eldest girl smashed a hole in the big vat, and her whole body got wet, and the second girl cried out of fright."

Yuxi went to the ear room, at this time, Zeng's mother and Quan Nai were changing clothes for the two children. Because of doing something bad, Zao Zao shrank her head in guilt when she saw Da Yuxi, and called softly: "Mother..."

Yuxi ignored Zao Zao, walked towards Liu'er, and asked Aunt Quan: "Did Liu'er's clothes get wet too?" Liu'er is not in good health, and if she gets wet, she will catch a cold.

Nunnery Quan shook her head and said, "Liu'er just wet her shoes and skirt, not her clothes. But Zao Zao, her whole body is soaked." a hole.

Yu Xi didn't say anything, but just walked over to help Liu'er change her clothes. After changing her clothes, Yu Xi hugged Liu'er back to the bedroom and ignored her.

Knowing that her mother was angry, Zao Zao changed her clothes and went to the bedroom. When he arrived at the bedroom, Zao Zao stood obediently in the middle of the room, lowered his head and said, "Mother, I was wrong."

Yuxi turned her head and asked, "You're wrong? Then tell your mother, what's wrong with you?" She admitted her mistake very sincerely and sincerely, but in the blink of an eye she ruined it again.

Zao Zao looked up at Yu Xi and said, "Mother, I just want to see the fish in the big tank." Water lilies were planted in the big tank, and there were two carps in it. Because jujube is too short, it needs to be held by people to watch fish on weekdays. Today, she doesn't want to be hugged by others, she just wants to see it by herself. So after much deliberation, I thought about smashing the big tank, and the fish would be able to see it.

Yuxi was angry and funny: "If you want to see fish, you can let Zeng Mama hug you to watch, what did you do with the big tank?" This girl will definitely be a prodigal when she grows up.

Zao Zao shook his head and said, "Mother, didn't you say that fish cannot live without water? When the big tank was smashed, the water flowed out, and the fish came out with it."

Yuxi doesn't know what expression she has now. After a while, Yun Qing: "Write twenty large characters tonight, and if you miss one word, you will not be allowed to go to sleep." On weekdays, Zao Zao only needs to write five large characters, which is a three-fold increase.

Seeing Yu Xi with an angry face, Zao Zao tactfully did not refute, but whispered: "Mom, I'm going to practice in the front yard. If I don't practice well, Grandpa will punish me when he comes back."

Huo Changqing is different from Yuxi, he is a ruthless master. If Zao Zao did not meet his requirements, at least a bowl of water would be placed on his head, and at worst he would be whipped. Yu Xi was reluctant to be punished, so Yu Xi could only say: "Come back early and write big characters." As this girl grows older, her destructive power is also getting bigger and bigger.

Every time at this time, Yu Xi regretted it very much. Let Zao Zao continue to practice martial arts with Huo Changqing, and it will only get worse in the future. And if you want to correct this child, you can no longer follow Huo Changqing. You don't need to think about Yuxi to know that Huo Changqing will definitely not agree.

Looking at Nanny Quan who came in with water, Yu Xi said: "Mommy, what do you think this child will do after this situation continues?" If this continues, she really can't control this girl anymore.

Sister Quan smiled and said: "This child is a bit naughty, it will be fine when he grows up and becomes sensible." The four-year-old child is just naughty.

Yu Xi said with a bitter face: "It's like this now, when I grow up, I can't make trouble outside every day." At that time, she and Yun Qing will have to follow behind to deal with the aftermath.

Sister Quan still had a smile on her face: "You are worrying unnecessarily. This child, Zao Zao, is just more curious and more energetic. Besides, you can also think about it from another angle, Zao Zao can think of it. The method of watching fish in the fish tank proves that she can find a way to solve problems by herself. It is very good for a child who is only four years old to do this."

Yuxi sighed and didn't say anything more, because it was useless to say it. (to be continued)
