"Okay, don't worry, tutor, we will definitely do it well. As long as you rely on water, you can install such a good thing." The men said.

"Okay, there are carpenters in every village, and there are capable people in every village. You can prepare yourself, use it yourself, and make your own profits. Try to improve your quality of life, so that everyone's quality of life will be improved. After going back, I will promote it more. Don't be idle in the open space in front of and behind the house, plant a few pumpkins and beans. Don't be empty in the house, raise a few sheep and a few pigs, use everything you can use, and give full play to everything you can. Our goal is to eat and wear warmth." Chai Lin said.

The person in charge of Liujia Village said: "This year, more than 50,000 mu of mulberry trees were planted in the village. Pumpkins, vegetables, beans were planted in front of and behind the houses. In addition, dozens of households have raised more than twenty chicks."

Chai Lin’s strategy for the countryside is to develop the rural small peasant economy to the extreme, and even a few green vegetables must be planted in an open space with a large lid.

Everyone was very moved. Although simple things like water poles are very common, many people do not install them. They still use full power to fetch water, which is quite laborious. Although water poles are the simplest lever machinery, they can save a lot of effort and improve the efficiency of fetching water.

"Okay, that's all here today. The person in charge of Wangjiagou stays behind, and everyone else is gone." Chai Lin said.

Everyone left, and before leaving, they looked at the people in Wangjiagou enviously. This should be to divide the horses for Wangjiagou. Before dividing the horses, they had to conduct detailed inspections of farmers, not just random divisions.

The person in charge of Wangjiagou went to discuss matters with the people from the Niu and Horse Trading Company. Raising horses is a big deal, not all farmers are suitable for raising horses. For example, Jiazhuang has no labor force, is relatively lazy, and has no economic foundation, so it is a complete burden to let them raise horses.

Recently, the Lan family transported back 800 iron-hoofed horses from the Great Liao Kingdom. The little mare is not tall, with a shoulder height of about 1.25 meters, but the body is strong and strong, with an average weight of 600 kilograms. Although the horse's hooves are small, they are very hard and you can never nail the horse's sole.

Chailin built two new horse farms near the iron mine. There were few villages in this area, and there were a large number of open spaces for horses to run freely. Horses purchased from the Liao grassland were classified. The first-class horses were left to the horse farm for training military horses. The other horses were handed over to large trading houses and distributed to farmers. The farmers got the horses. The first three children had to produce foals, and the fourth child could produce mules. The main reason was that mules could not be produced, so it was necessary to ensure that there was enough basic horse herd before mules could be produced.

The entire Cangzhou was mobilized, and all the government offices worked together. After seven or eight days of efforts by the foodies, the locust plague in Cangzhou was eliminated in its infancy. Once the locust plague disappeared, the major hotels found that it was broken and there was a problem.

There is not enough grasshoppers to eat, so they can only reduce the supply, no longer takeout, only for dine-in.

In the study of the prefect Su, Su Can was eating watermelon while reviewing official documents. It was so pleasant.

"Old Qin, why haven't there been any fried grasshoppers for dinner these days?" Su Can asked.

Mr. Qin said: "The locust plague has gone down now, and grasshoppers are more difficult to catch. The owner of the firewood manor is worried that someone will breed grasshoppers to supply the market, so he no longer buys grasshoppers. Once these breeding grasshoppers are not managed well, it will lead to a big disaster."

Su Can nodded: "It makes sense. As long as there is profit, someone will take risks. Lao Qin planned to issue a government order. The purchase price of grasshoppers in all restaurants that purchase grasshoppers shall not be higher than one cent. Anyone who dares to raise the price will be severely punished. However, eating grasshoppers is a good habit for every pest to be killed, so you still have to keep it. Encourage everyone to catch them and eat them themselves and not sell them."

Master Qin said: "Okay, Lord Su is still thoughtful. He will be harvesting summer grain and wheat in more than a month. Lord Qin has to check the deployment of wheat harvesting work in each yamen."

Su Can sighed and said, "If you don't want to be an official, you will find that every day is a matter. The annual wheat harvest is a big deal. I notify all the constables to patrol the fields to prevent fire and theft."

Master Qin said: "Although the spring drought this year, there were still a few good rains, the locust plague was eliminated, and the harvest was in sight. I will draft the government orders now."

After Master Qin said that he was going back to the study to draft a document. Su Can said, "Master Qin waited for a moment. Chai Lin made great contributions to destroying locusts this time. I heard that the locusts that the Zuixianlou just pulled them to feed chickens were tens of thousands of kilograms. He could not give Chai Lin a meritorious service. He took 1,000 taels of silver from the treasury, which was a reward for him."

Master Qin said, "Okay, I'll go and do it in the afternoon. It's time to give me some rewards."

In ancient times, science and technology were underdeveloped and there was no large-scale application of pesticides, and it was a great contribution to the fight against locusts. Yao Chong of the Tang Dynasty made great contributions to the fight against locusts. This time, Cangzhou launched millions of people to destroy locusts and preserved the bumper harvest of summer grain. It can be said that it was a great contribution. The prefect Su naturally had to write a big letter to the court. Of course, this contribution was all from Lord Su. As for Chai Lin's special identity, he did not even mention it.

As for the imperial court's rewards, Chai Lin really didn't care.

Early this morning, the military camp had premature exercises and came out and arrived at the fifty acres of sweet potato fields planned by Dongcun. Laoliang and fifty or sophisticated Zhuang Ding were waiting.

Last night, more than 60,000 sweet potato seedlings were pulled out of the sweet potato seedling greenhouse, and one hundred were placed neatly.

Lao Liang had a few more worries. First, he chose the land. The fifty acres of sweet potato land were all sandy land, and the land capacity was poor. Fortunately, he used a lot of horse manure, so Lao Liang was worried that the yield was not good. Second, the sweet potato seedlings that Lao Liang was worried about, and the sweet potato seedlings pulled out only grew more than once, and they had no root system.

When Chai Lin saw it, he was still very satisfied.

"No, not bad, Lao Liang's work is very good, the arable land is very good, and the high rises of the ridges will make big sweet potatoes." Chai Lin said.

Lao Liang took the sweet potato seedlings and said, "Master, I'm very worried. The seedlings have no roots, so it's still unknown how they survive."

Chai Lin smiled and said, "Old Liang doesn't need to worry. The sweet potato seedlings are like this, and there is no need for roots. After the sweet potatoes grow, you can prune branches and plant wheat stubble sweet potatoes. Selling stubble sweet potatoes are the only ones left. Come on, let's start, let's plant a few sparse seedlings, one foot apart."

Chai Lin took off his boots, held a hoe to demonstrate, and digged holes in the long River. It didn't need to be deep, which was only a dozen centimeters. The land that had just been plowed a few days ago was very loose and easy to dig.

"After digging a hole, hold the seedlings with your fingers. Look at my technique, you can make big sweet potatoes weigh one, two or three pounds. They are inserted diagonally, and there are many sweet potato pieces, but they are small." The strong men listened carefully next to them, and Lao Liang also took notes. After all, he was responsible for these tasks, and Chai Lin only gave some guidance occasionally.

"The spring potato we plant now is called spring potatoes, which cannot be used to keep them, so they need to be planted directly, with high yields. When wheat stubble sweet potatoes, they must be planted obliquely to make small sweet potatoes to facilitate keeping them."

Everyone listened carefully, and the technique was very simple. Dig a hole, insert seedlings, add cake fertilizer, water it in the hole, and bury the soil and compact it after the water is exhausted.

Since there was no chemical fertilizer, horse manure was added when arable land, but the Chulin was not considering it enough. One mu of 50 or 60 kilograms of cake fertilizer, that is, bean cakes.

The process is very simple. Three or four people are in groups. Once the men learn to do it, Chai Lin and Lao Liang will guide the correction if they do the wrong one.

There are more than 3,000 seedlings per mu, and 60,000 seedlings seem to be quite large, but only twenty acres of land have been planted. It should be fine to wait for the sweet potato nursery to grow for a period of time, and then plant dozens of acres.

Seeing that Shiba Lin was always smiling, Dian Zhengnan said, "Brother, I think you are happy to grow sweet potatoes than to marry a wife."

Chai Lin said: "This is what you don't understand. Marrying a wife is my personal business. Although marrying a wife is very important, it has little impact after all. This sweet potato is not the case. It is a big event in the world. With a memorial cultivation of sweet potatoes, it is no problem to produce 6,000 kilograms per mu. The most important thing is drought resistance, flood resistance, and strong adaptability. It can prevent people from starving to death on a large scale in our Central Plains. This is a big event in the world. Today, all those involved in growing sweet potatoes will be recorded in the village chronicles and will be passed down to future generations in the future."

Dian Zhengnan was watching from the side, but when he heard Chai Lin say this, he didn't like doing farm work the most, and he also came to the field to plant a few sweet potatoes, and also wanted to spread them to future generations.

Lao Liang said: "Potatoes have been planted, but potatoes cost too much seeds. Only eight acres of land were planted in 2,500 kilograms. It's just a short time to plant corn. I'll plant them in half a month. The temperature has risen rapidly recently. I suggest that we build temples and monuments for corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, so that all farmers who planted in later generations would be grateful to our owners for their hard work in searching for thousands of miles."
