The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 170

The guards wore official uniforms and went to Lizheng's house to take Lizheng away. Wei Fulang panicked. His two sons were studying in the county academy, and he didn't dare to go to his elders.

Fortunately, he thought of the Lin family. Back then when Lin Huzi was taken away by the guards, Li Xiu fainted in anxiety. Because he was pregnant at the time, he had such a violent reaction to the stimulation.

The Lin family lived in the village, and not many people knew about it. Wei Fulang went to the Lin family when he heard that Li Xiu had fainted and found out she was pregnant. When the Lin family found out that Lin Huzi was going to the county government office, he quickly packed up and went to the Lin family. ask.

Li Xiu was also a little anxious after hearing Wei Fulang's words, and hurriedly looked for Lin Chengzu and Lin Xiazhi.

Lin Xiazhi was not really able to predict things like a god, and he didn't know why the county magistrate called Li Zheng, so he had to comfort Wei Fulang who was in a panic first, and asked him the details of how the guards took Li Zheng away.

After hearing Wei Fulang say that the guards did not force people to lead them, and that they spoke and acted in a businesslike manner, indicating that they did not commit a crime, Lin Xiazhi told Wei Fulang not to worry.

Although Wei Fulang was told not to worry, Lin Chengzu immediately went to the county seat in a carriage to inquire about the news.

Since he was looking for news, he would naturally go to the Cheng family to see if there would be any useful news from the Cheng family.

The others were waiting at the Lin family. About an hour later, Lin Chengzu and Li Zheng came back together in the Lin family's carriage.

Wei Fulang watched Lizheng get off the carriage, and finally he was relieved after thinking about it all morning.

Wei Fulang immediately ran over and circled around: "Is there nothing wrong?"

"No." Li Zheng replied with a smile.

It turned out that the county magistrate Zhao Lizheng went there to ask about the way to the Lin family. Last month, the county magistrate sent a nobleman from the capital to the Lin family village. The nobleman from the capital noticed that the road to the Lin family was very good. Ling was concerned, and asked someone to check the road in Linjiacun.

Of course, when facing Lizheng in Linjiacun, the county magistrate would not tell about the nobles in the capital, and asked him directly why the roads in Linjiacun are so good.

"It's thanks to Brother Xia who came up with the idea of ​​building the road, otherwise it wouldn't have attracted the attention of the county magistrate." Li Zheng looked at Lin Xiazhi with a smile on his face. He felt that Lin Xiazhi was really the lucky star of Linjiacun. Many of the changes are related to him.

Lin Xiazhi waved his hand modestly: "This is also a good arrangement by you, sir. It is the good fortune of our Linjia Village to be appreciated by the county magistrate. The county magistrate thinks that the road construction method is good, and maybe people from other villages and towns will come to learn. "

When he came up with this idea before, Lin Xiazhi didn't expect that the road construction would be noticed so soon. He also thought that the benefits of road construction would gradually be discovered when the Lin family's food or seeds became famous.

Lizheng went to the county government and nothing bad happened, maybe it brought good news to the Lin family village. After Lin's Wei Fulang was relieved, Tong Lizheng went back to their home together.

Lin Xiazhi thought for a while, and after Lizheng and Wei Fulang went out, he chased after him: "Master, did you mention me when you talked to the magistrate today?"

Li Zheng was a little surprised that Lin Xiazhi came up and just asked him this question. The idea of ​​building the road was not his idea. Naturally, he couldn't just take credit for himself. He said a little unhappy: "When the county magistrate asked me, I said Yes, it was you who came to me to talk about the idea of ​​building the road."

Li Zheng thought that Lin Xiazhi wanted to show off in front of the county magistrate, and was worried that he hadn't told the truth in the county government today. When he saw Lin Xiazhi's frown after listening to the words, he knew he had misunderstood. something wrong.

Lin Xiazhi turned the words around in his mind, and added: "Actually, Zong'er said this when we were chatting with me, it's not my idea."

Lin Xiazhi's words were not deceptive. He had indeed talked about this with Lin Chengzong at the time, but he was the one who taught Lin Chengzong at the time. If the county magistrate asked, he could indeed say that it was Lin Chengzong's idea.

Lin Chengzong is already thirteen years old this year, and he is considered a half-adult in the precocious environment of Jingguo. He has also read books and has a reputation as a prodigy in the village. When he heard Lin Xiazhi say this, he had no doubts, but just praised him again. Lin Chengzong is smart and can read.

"At that time, Zong'er saw in a miscellaneous book that it seemed that "those who want to be rich should first pass the road", I think it makes sense." Lin Xiazhi Hu Chi wrote an ancient sentence, which sounds plausible but somewhat credible.

"You seemed to be saying this when you advised me to build the road before. The more I thought about it, the more reasonable it became. I told the county magistrate today, but I don't read much, so I didn't remember the original sentence." Li Zhengyi His face was agitated, recalling what the county magistrate had said to him at that time, it was really smoke from the Lin family's ancestral grave, and there could be such encounters in the village.

"This is indeed the truth." This is the experience summed up by many people in previous lives, can it be unreasonable?

Tongli was chatting for a few words, remembering to let Lin Chengzong know about this matter, in case the county magistrate remembered and asked about it that day, they would be able to deal with it.

Lin Xiazhi, a little brother who has never seen the world and didn't even know words before, how can he come up with one idea after another. If it is making food, it can be justified, but it is different like papermaking and road construction.

It's fine if no one pays attention to it. If someone notices this and says he has a problem, it will be too late to try to justify it.

Just two days later, when Lin Chengzong Muxiu returned to Linjiacun, Lin Xiazhi told him about the road construction.

Lin Xiazhi's approach coincided with the county magistrate's thinking. The county magistrate only asked a casual question. After hearing that the Lin family village was saying that it was Lin Xiazhi from the Lin family who proposed it, he thought that the Lin family's new paper was read by Lin Chengzong in a book. When it arrived, Lin Xiazhi came to implement it, maybe the road construction would be the same, and he didn't worry about it, but his impression of Lin Chengzong was getting better and better.

After the road construction solved his worries, Lin Xiazhi put his mind back and went to the tofu shop to see Lin Chengzu's new sweet potato powder.

Inspired by Lin Xiazhi, Lin Chengzu finally came up with a new variety after more than a month of research.

There has been a slight change in shape and color. It may be that there are small rice cakes at home, and his and Yang Yusheng's child will be born soon. The shape of the new variety is quite cute, and Lin Xiazhi thinks it looks a little cute.

Lin Chengzu's new sweet potato flour uses the juice squeezed out of vegetables, adding the green juice to the sweet potato starch, and the sweet potato paste is green, and then poured into the mold carved with the shape of green leaves, and placed in the temperature In a slightly higher drying room, after the powder is half-dry, it is taken out of the mold, put on gauze to dry thoroughly, and small green leaves are made.

In order to make the green leafy sweet potato flour not easy to break after being cooked, it contains more starch than ordinary sweet potato flour, and the taste is naturally more springy.

After soaking until softened, put it in the mushroom soup pot prepared by Yang Yusheng to cook. It tastes like the umami of mushrooms and the fragrance of vegetables. The texture and taste are good.

To be able to make it like this, Lin Chengzu failed many times before he succeeded.

At the beginning, there was less starch, and the finished vegetable powder was not formed after cooking. Later, too much starch was added, and it was difficult to chew, and the amount of vegetable juice was also particular.

After having this vegetable powder, there will be examples for doing other things, which is a lot easier.

Lin Chengzu later made some sweet potato flour with different fruit shapes in other colors. Lin Xiazhi looked at his finished products and wondered if he was going to make a children's series.

Seeing Lin Chengzu's excited look, Lin Xiazhi told Lin Chengzu the idea of ​​adding other grains to make different powders, and asked him to continue to study.

On the other hand, it took more than ten days for the old Qintou in Beishan Village to teach the skills of making bamboo pipe joints to the boys in the family. Almost all the tenant farmers of the Qin family could do it. Xia Zhi completed the bamboo tubes for dozens of acres of dry land.

Lin Xiazhi got the news and went to Beishan Village in person.

After Lin Xiazhi waited for the old Qintou to explain, he tried to use the bamboo pipe to carry water, and found no water leakage, and it was very convenient to use.

Every five mu of land is a water delivery system, and each mu of land is distributed with several openings for water outlet. One person draws water from the well head and pours it into the bamboo pipe, and the other person is at the other end of the bamboo pipe. Open any opening you want to use to get water out. Stopper, water the ground with a wooden bucket.

With the cooperation of two people, dozens of acres of land can be irrigated in half an hour.

In the past, so much land had to be watered, not to mention two people, even ten people together could water so much land in half an hour. The time was mainly wasted on carrying water back and forth, and the speed naturally increased after not carrying water.

After watching the use of bamboo pipes to carry water, Lin Xiazhi approached Lao Qintou: "Old Qintou, are you interested in installing bamboo pipes to carry water in other places, and I will give you one hundred cash per mu of land."

Not to mention anything else, the Lin family owns [-] mu of land in Linjia Village. Except for the better paddy fields, the other dry fields require a lot of manpower for watering every day. If you can use this bamboo pipe to transport water, you can save a lot. thing.

"One hundred pennies per mu!" Old Qintou exclaimed, wouldn't this be too expensive!

Lin Xiazhi understood his inner voice from his expression: "One hundred pennies per mu is not expensive. The connection of the bamboo pipe to transport water is the key. You have figured it out by yourself. No one else knows it except you. This is unique. One copy, besides, it takes a lot of work to make the interface, you can calculate how long it will take one person per mu of land."

In the past, more than a dozen men from the Qin family worked together, so the speed was naturally fast. If all the processes were done by one person, it would take at least a day and a half to barely complete the required interface, not counting the time spent on bamboo pipes, so the calculation would be one hundred Wen does not seem to be expensive.

"Summer is coming soon, and the fields have to be watered sooner or later. How much convenience can water transported by bamboo tubes bring to everyone?" Lin Xiazhi continued.

If it weren't for the fact that few people were willing to install bamboo pipes because they were worried that the price would be too high, Lin Xiazhi felt that the price could be set higher. There was no way, labor was always worthless these days.
