Chapter 254 This Year’s Drought Brings Fire and Disaster

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the twenty-fourth day of the second lunar month, there was still ice melting quietly on the river.

The frozen ground was still hard, and Li Yizhuang began to plow.

All the plows were made of iron plows, and the strong oxen and draft horses were hitched and started to move forward on the icy stubble in the fields.

Such rush for plowing causes great harm to the livestock. When plowing takes a long time, the limbs of the livestock will get cold.

However, Lijiazhuangzi didn't care. The cattle and horses plowed for half an hour, came up to rest, and changed the group to go down.

The horses and oxen that were brought in were not very satisfactory. They were not yet satisfied with plowing. I can do it, I have strength and I am not cold.

In fact, they think too much, and they will still live in the future.

The first pass is shallow plowing to remove the ice on top, and then the biogas fertilizer will be poured in, and half a row will be changed to the previous furrow before plowing again.

Change half of the rows to face the ridge platform and turn them out of position.

The entire land must be plowed, and then Li Yi will take samples to see the pH.

Wait until the soil is filled with water and fertilized, and then sampled so that we can know what mineral fertilizer to add.

"Proprietor, it's too early for plowing." Song De came over to advise, there is no one who plows the land in the first month.

"There will be a drought this year, and there will be less precipitation from now on. We need to wet the ground first, and don't expect much spring rain."

Of course Li Yi knows when to plow the fields. If the rice fields are to be planted, there are still more than two months.

It takes more than a month to raise seedlings. It will take some time to dig out the grapevines that have been buried in the soil for the winter, and at the same time, they need to be fertilized and watered.

Vegetables in the greenhouse cannot be stopped, especially carrots, which need to be seeded this year.

Then some of the seeds were sent to the south for Sinong Temple to grow, and some were used in greenhouses in the north, mainly for breeding.

Song De didn't know Li Yi's comprehensive plan. He asked in surprise: "Will there be a drought this year?"

"There is much less rain than in previous years. There are many rivers here. Eight rivers surround Chang'an. Water is available, but other places cannot. Especially a large area east of the Taihang Mountains."

Li Yi had nothing to hide, so he told the manager that he would follow the arrangements.

"I know the proprietor." Song De didn't ask again, he was going to take action against the drought next.

In his heart, what the proprietor said was right.

The mud produced in the city is also brought here and registered one by one. Then the mud is inspected, stored, moisturized and kept warm. When the kiln is ready to be opened, it is made into various utensils and sent in.

If someone wants money, give it to them. If you don't want money, wait for it to be burned and give it to pottery.

In other places, charcoal is simmered to make coke.

Many people in Chang'an City knelt down when they saw Pei Yaoqing, and Pei Yaoqing almost cried.

He didn't dare to bear it. When the people knelt down, he would avoid it as quickly as possible and help him up from the side.

One is that he is afraid of His Majesty. His Majesty knows who made the idea and why he should accept the great gift.

The other is that he is afraid that his life span will be shortened. Do you want to take advantage of such a great policy to benefit the people?

In order to promote it, Li Yi threw out all the simmering methods.

If you dare to occupy it yourself, you will be punished by God.

"How is the spring plowing guidance?" Li Longji asked in the Xingqing Hall during the Xiaochao meeting.

"The water conservancy is under supervision." Wei Zhigu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, came forward and said that he was recovering from his illness and was in good spirits.

He is now in charge of the Ministry of Industry and is worthy of Li Yi.

He understood that he had gone full circle before the gate of hell.

At that time, I was so sick that I couldn't stand it any longer. The imperial doctor showed me that taking medicine was of no use, so I received new medicine urgently sent from heaven and earth.

"I have ordered the implementation of a new fertilization method on the grounds of increased crop yields in autumn. In addition, new agricultural tools have been ordered to be promoted by Sinong Temple."

Yao Chong spoke up.

Zhang said and then spoke: "Every state has spread the word, and it is estimated that next year or the year after that most areas will believe and accept it."

Lu Huaishen lowered his head and said nothing. He had nothing to say. Yao Chong took care of all the big things. Others Zhang said he was very positive.

Everything that came to my hands was nothing but trivial matters, so I worked very seriously and dealt with them one by one.

If Li Yi knew what Lu Huaishen looked like now, he would definitely give him a thumbs up.

History books say that Lu Huaishen was the prime minister who served as a companion to Yao Chong whenever big things happened.

In fact, it is the small things that are most important. The Prime Minister takes the initiative in major national affairs, but the Deputy Prime Minister takes care of the small ones. Isn't it right?

Lu Huaishen has done it, I won’t argue with you.

You shouted to increase support for small and medium-sized enterprises based on local characteristics, and officials from various states tried their best to do so.

I just look at which states need what, whether to give it or not. Who wants to build water conservancy projects? I don’t say anything about big financial allocations, but I sign for small ones.

That's why Li Yi wanted to protect him. It seemed that he didn't do big things, but small things were actually the most important.

The use of foreign troops, especially the military deployment to withstand the Tibetans and defend against the Turks, was a major event.

Lu Huaishen didn't care, but he would sign some small things that came from the governor's office asking for more weapons.

He did a good job. If he hadn't been ill, he could have made up for all the omissions Yao Chong made in doing great things.

Is this the prime minister accompanying food? Is it looked down upon? Is it right for him to fight with Yao Chong?

So now he just listens. Anyway, many trivial things have been signed.

"Where's smelting?" Li Longji looked at Wei Zhigu.

"While the coke is simmering, the craftsman said that the person who came up with this plan must have the world in mind and have rules in mind." Wei Zhigu replied loudly.

"How are the people?" Li Longji asked Pei Yaoqing who was summoned.

"I have to kneel down to you as soon as I see you. I'm afraid." Pei Yaoqing first said his troubles.

"Haha!" Li Longji laughed, and several others smiled.

"At least you have something in mind before you can speak out on that day. Otherwise, how could I go to Li's Village to ask for advice."

Li Longji was very proud. Look, you are all gone. I will go find Brother Yi myself.

Then he said: "Think more and put yourself on the side of the common people. If I go to Lijiazhuangzi too many times, won't you feel guilty?"

"I know." Yao Chong took the lead. He really worked hard and always ran outside to observe people's livelihood.

But Li Yi's strategy is not a question of whether he wants it or not, it's a question of whether you ask or not.

Who would have thought of asking someone to break the mud before planting in spring? They're not next to each other at all, okay?

Asking hundreds of thousands of people, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, what kind of work can we do to make money in winter? Is this a question people ask? Is it a question to ask people?

Then they came out, making ice lanterns and shaking briquettes.

Then spring came, and before it was time to farm, hundreds of thousands of people were asked what they were doing.

So when we are waiting for the lean season before the two harvests, do we still need to ask?

Checking the history books, Shang Yang's reforms were so powerful that he never solved them.

"There are also the accounts of the various state capitals. I am almost familiar with them. I will follow them in the future, including official evaluation.

I want to see it myself. The Ministry of Revenue will make a diagram and ask me to find out the problem. Then all my family members will go to Yeting Palace.

Don't think that I don't understand. I will probably take the accounts to Zhuangzi by the Bashu River and someone will understand. "

Li Longji began to threaten. Since he learned some simple truths about making and checking false accounts two days ago, he felt inflated and was ready to audit the world.

The ministers understood as soon as they heard the word "Ba Shui" and hurried back to investigate carefully. If they said that the account was accidentally burned, they would arrest the officials and their families involved and either tell the truth or kill them all.

"What's going on with the imperial examination?" Li Longji had many questions today.

"His Majesty will select talents according to some places in Bashui." Yao Chong had no choice but to enroll all 42 students, and it was decided by default.

"No favoritism." Li Longji emphasized, and then said: "There are so many people who want to take advantage of others, so where did they go?"

"Five, Lijiazhuangzi from Bashui." Zhang said, transforming into a teleprompter.

"Ah, the ten surnames of Western Turks have come recently..." Li Longji naturally changed the topic.

But everyone understands that the five students who came to Lijiazhuangzi last year are useless.
