Chapter 1054 Hearing news about an old friend again
This position is very suitable for him, he will definitely be able to show his talents!
Dou Wuxing requested to go see the farming islands on site.
He Lingchuan had no objection and personally took them on a boat and visited four or five islands in a row.
Dou Wuxing carefully inquired about the geology, soil and hydrology of the Yangshan Islands along the way, often thinking deeply.
When he set foot on Longji Island and saw the agricultural production area, he squatted down and grabbed the soil to observe, and even took a few bites. He couldn't help but frown.
He Lingchuan immediately asked him: "Is there any problem?"
"The soil on your islands seems to be fertile and fertile. It shouldn't be difficult to grow a few crops and get a good harvest."
"Then what's the problem?"
"The farmers on the island farm too much -" too rough, too rough, "extensive, the farmland lacks planning, the land rented by each family is so scattered, the borders are all wasted, and the harvesting efficiency is poor."
He Lingchuan was very happy: "After this crop of winter wheat is harvested, it will be up to you, Dou Er, to rearrange it."
He took over the Yangshan Islands in September, just in time for the busy farming season. He was not proficient in farming. At that time, he just wanted to plant crops in time. How could he take care of more?
Dou Wuxing didn't bother Qiao either: "Okay, you have too many things to rectify here."
Dou Wenguan coughed at the side. His second brother was too straightforward and would offend others with just his mouth.
He Lingchuan didn't mind: "It doesn't matter, that's why I asked Dou Er to help."
Dou Wuxing asked again: "Are there frequent hurricanes here?"
"Yes." He Lingchuan told the truth, "Several hurricanes visit every year, and just over a month ago a hurricane landed on the Yangshan Islands."
"The island is close to the sea and is affected by seawater. The groundwater level is high and the salt content is high. Hurricanes often come here, and storm surges cause seawater to pour into the land. After evaporation, the salt remains in the soil. Well, these can easily form saline-alkali land.
At that time, the soil will become compacted, the fertility will decrease, and the crops will grow worse and worse."
"I heard that some plots on the island cannot grow crops. Is it because of this?" He Lingchuan had heard about land salinization before, but he didn't take it seriously for the time being. The affairs at hand were really complicated, so I can't arrange these remarks for the time being.
No. But now that Dou Wuxing is here, "Is there any way to improve it?"
"Yes, there are many ways, such as crushing wheat straw and returning it to the fields, or filling the soil with pine needles, sawdust, horse manure, etc.; at the same time, ditches must be dug in these fields, not just irrigation without drainage; and it depends on the soil fertility here.
Conditions, Longji Island and other islands with abundant fresh water will be converted into rice fields after the wheat fields are harvested next summer, which is the so-called rice planting and washing of salt. After the autumn harvest, winter wheat will be planted. This will not only increase the income of one crop of rice, but also make the fertile land more productive.
Long lasting.”
Continuous planting of wheat and rice is a very efficient farming method, but it also has requirements for soil fertility. Since Dou Wuxing put forward this suggestion, he had his own way to deal with it.
"The rice seeds in our Shahe River Basin have been improved for hundreds of years. Now the yield per mu is nearly 500 kilograms. It is also resistant to diseases, pests and lodging. Why not try planting it in the Yangshan Islands? If the aura of heaven and earth is further abundant, the yield per mu will increase rapidly.
.”
He Lingchuan nodded: "I will send someone to Shahe to purchase."
Dou Wuxing was very interested. He only looked at a few fields. Next, he wanted to look for ocean currents and fish floods, and check the flora and fauna on the island. Bejia and Mou Guo were both talented people, and one more of them was not much.
It would be a lot less if he is missing. Even if he has experience and ideas, it is a pity that others will speak lightly.
Yangshan Islands allows him to implement his ideas and let go.
Dou Wuxing immediately felt that he was in the right place.
Dou Wenguan knew that He Lingchuan, as the owner of the island, was burdened with many responsibilities, so he coughed lightly: "Brother He... the owner of the island just goes about his business, and I will accompany my brother to walk around."
He Lingchuan handed them a token: "According to this order, they can pass. Remember that the guardrail area at the southwest end of Longji Island cannot be approached, as it is the territory of the Yin Hui; Pansi Island cannot be approached either, as the monsters on it will eat people; Yangshan Islands
We can’t get close to the islands in the south, and someone will naturally come out to stop us.”
Without this sign, the Dou brothers would have been arrested and imprisoned as trespassers.
The prison on the island is also brand new. It was built after the Bailong people rebelled.
"The archipelago is so big that we can't finish it in a few days. Since you two have decided to settle in the Yangshan Islands, let's go back to Sodin Island in the evening. After signing the contract, I'll treat you to a drink." He Lingchuan waved his hand arrogantly, "No.
If you stay in an inn, I will give you a house. Sodin Island is convenient for living and traveling, while Centipede Island is quiet. It’s up to you to choose.”
The two brothers were overjoyed and thanked them.
He Lingchuan turned to leave, and Dou Wenguan suddenly remembered something: "By the way, we have also written to Lao Du. He should be interested in Yangshan Islands."
"Lao Du?"
"Du Shan." Dou Wenguan said with a smile, "Shan Yuguo wanted to invite him to be an official, but he didn't go because he thought the official position was too small. He went to Beiyang to watch whales a few months ago."
He Lingchuan was overjoyed: "Do you guys keep in touch on a regular basis?"
He had a wide circle of friends in Lingxu City, and one of his frequent drinking companions was Du Shan. This man liked to take the wrong approach and had no moral burden, which left a deep impression on He Lingchuan.
"Before we returned to Shahe to find jobs, Du Shan also gave us an idea." Guan Wenguan coughed lightly, "We didn't adopt it."
He Lingchuan understood: "Isn't that a good idea?"
The Dou brothers shook their heads together: "No."
Du Shan's tricks have always been quite evil.
But He Lingchuan always felt that there was no harm in listening.
The boat boss who punted the boat for the three people was originally Min Tianxi's subordinate, named Yu Liang. He Lingchuan left him as a guide for the two of them while he returned to Sodin Island to handle official duties.
Ever since I became the owner of this island, I have had endless chores. I have been busy from morning to night, and I only regret that I don’t have a head and six arms.
He made up his mind to hire more talents and spread the work so that he could become a big shopkeeper.
If you can't be lazy, what's the point of being a big boss?
The mansion where He Lingchuan works is located on the shore of Ding Lake on Sodin Island. From the balcony on the second floor, you can see the rippling blue waves and the weeping willows.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is a little benefit he has sought for himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down and took a sip of hot tea, Renee actually sent someone to report again:
"Island owner, you have guests!"
"guest?"
"There are ten people in total, claiming to be disciples of Songyang Mansion, and are here at your invitation." The steward said, "You were not on the island before, so these guests were arranged in Yingxiang Pavilion."
"Please!" He Lingchuan threw away his cup and stood up, "No, I'll go and greet you personally!"
What a great day it is today, he has invited two batches of distinguished guests!
Yingxiang Pavilion has just been completed, and it was built specifically for distinguished guests. The accommodation and meals are two levels higher than those of ordinary inns. At the same time, it has a private quiet bay with white waves and fine sand. Only VIPs in the pavilion can enter and play.
This is a high-end business place, and it also provides many quiet spaces for negotiations and meetings. Once you walk in, you will feel like you are in two different worlds from the bustling Söding Pier.
He Lingchuan rushed to Yingxiang Pavilion and took a look and confirmed that these "distinguished guests from Songyang Mansion" were genuine because there were two familiar faces among them:
Li Fubo, chief craftsman of Zhonglu——
His personal disciple!
When the two people saw He Lingchuan, they immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Li Mingyang, Li Mingrong pays homage to Elder He!"
They were both twenty-seven or eight years old. He Lingchuan went to Songyang Mansion in Shihuan City, Yuan Kingdom for the first time, and saw them standing behind Li Fubo.
Songyang Mansion sent the two of them here, which shows its recognition of their abilities.
He Lingchuan was an elder of the Songyang Mansion and enjoyed many privileges. In terms of status, he was much higher than these disciples. At this time, he smiled and held the arms of the two of them: "Why are you doing this? Come, come, sit down, sit down."
"
The two sat down, but the five people behind them were still standing, looking respectful.
The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, with He Lingchuan basically asking questions and the other party answering.
When he left the Panlong Desert, he decided to go south and go to sea, so he sent a flying message to Li Qingge, the head of Songyang Palace, stating that he was about to go to Blade Port behind Mou State and asked Songyang Palace if he wanted to go to a distant place.
Open a branch in another country?
After the letter was sent, nothing happened.
He Lingchuan didn't pay much attention to it. Firstly, he was too busy and only missed Songyang Mansion when he was thinking about the military equipment of the escort team. Secondly, Songyang Mansion was also far away from Blade Port, with several countries in between, especially
It is not easy for the two giants Bejia and Mou Guo to keep news going back and forth.
He didn't expect that Li Qingge didn't reply to him at all, but sent someone directly over!
According to Li Mingyang and Li Mingrong, after receiving the news, the palace master asked them to immediately go south to Baisha Bay and take a boat. The journey was very smooth, and the boat arrived at Blade Port after two and a half months.
He Lingchuan was well-known here. After the Songyang Mansion team inquired about it, they went to Sodin Island to defect to him.
Li Mingrong took out a letter and held it to He Lingchuan with both hands:
"This is a letter from the Palace Master. Please read it, elders."
He Lingchuan opened the seal of the letter and took out the silver-sprinkled paper and took a look at it.
The font above is graceful yet true to its roots. It begins with:
"Young Master, seeing words is like meeting each other."
He Lingchuan could imagine Li Qingge's expression when he wrote the letter.
Li Qingge said in the letter that Songyang Mansion had long wanted to develop in Mou State, but unfortunately the border was too far away, and she was always busy, so she had no chance. Everyone was happy that He Lingchuan could expand Songyang Mansion into foreign lands.
As for the candidates to be sent to the east, the Songyang Mansion also considered for a long time, and finally decided to let the Li brothers lead the team and lead several disciples of the great craftsmen.
This Li Mingyang and Li Mingrong are both Li Fubo's disciples and Li Fubo's nephew. They have been practicing casting with their uncle since they were eleven years old. Li Fubo often takes them with him to guide them carefully.
In terms of age, they cannot be called master craftsmen, but their skill and fire skills are top-notch, and they all have dozens of excellent finished works. It can be said that their casting skills are very stable and the yield rate is high.
This time when we traveled across the ocean, none of the great craftsmen from Songyang Prefecture came. Once a person gets older and has seniority, he doesn’t like to go out and fight against the wind and waves. Like Ding Zuodong, when he reaches the age of knowing his destiny, he still
After all, there are only a few people who are determined to pursue a career.
