After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 285: Rescue melon seedlings in the rain

People in Xiaoxizhou are very eager to learn.

Zhu Jiangjiang followed the people in Xiaoxi Prefecture and helped plant the land for more than ten days. She went in and out of Mudu City every day, and the people in and out of the city knew her.

Dozens of farms are cultivating at the same time, and the outside of Mudu City is already green with new shoots.

Including the sandy land to the south.

That piece of sandy land, in order to grow cotton, the sandy land was reclaimed five or six miles alive, in order to mix sand with soil to form sandy land for growing cotton.

With the joint efforts of the people in the city, the spring plowing was over in more than ten days.

Just when Zhu Jiangjiang thought she could finally have a good rest, Xu Gu sent someone to look for her again.

"Ma'am, go and have a look quickly, the ground is soaked in water, and the third prince is very anxious!"

The person Xu Gu sent here dragged Zhu Jiangjiang out without saying a word.

It has been raining for the past two days, and there is still a moderate amount of spring rain outside. Zhu Jiangjiang saw the person coming in such a hurry, she didn't even take the raincoat, so she got on the horse and left.

Planting melons, fruits and cotton was something that Xu Gu would bring back to Xiaoxi Prefecture, so Xu Yuan had full authority over the affairs of the field to him.

In order to prove that he is not so useless, Xu Gu really competed with this land, and whenever he was free, he ran out of the city.

No, it has been raining for the past two days, and he is even more worried, so he almost lives in a fellow villager's house in the farm.

Seeing Zhu Jiangjiang coming, Xu Gu walked over with an umbrella, and without time to exchange greetings, he pointed to the rain-soaked melon seedlings in front of him, and asked her, "Miss Zhu, the melon seedlings are all drowned, what should I do?"

Seeing them all standing in the rain, Zhu Jiangjiang looked at a loss, and said angrily: "Why are you still standing there, copying a hoe to drain water!"

After finishing speaking, she pushed aside Xu Gu's umbrella, ran to the field, and directed the digging of ditches to drain water.

Anyway, she was already soaked through, and she didn't care about getting a little more wet.

Seeing this, Xu Gu put aside the umbrella in his hand and followed, "Miss Zhu, these melon seedlings are all like this, is there any help?"

This morning he went out as usual, and saw that the melon seedlings that had just crawled out of the field were all soaked in water, some of the leaves were washed away by the rain, and some were buried in yellow mud.

He didn't like it, so he hurriedly sent someone to call Zhu Jiangjiang.

Before Zhu Jiangjiang came, everyone didn't know what to do. Looking at the soaked melon seedlings, everyone thought it was hopeless.

"Plant cells are renewable, so they don't die so easily, stop talking, and help!" Zhu Jiangjiang turned around and shouted at Xu Gu.

"Ah?" Xu Gu didn't understand, but it didn't prevent him from working, "Okay!"

"Quick, take your guys and dig a ditch!"

With a big wave of Xu Gu's hand, all the old and young people in the farm started to move.

None of them had anything to protect them from the rain, and all of them braved the rain to rescue melon seedlings in the field.

When Pei Ji and Xu Yuan heard the news, the field was already full of people, and they were working in an orderly manner according to Zhu Jiangjiang's command.

The rain became denser and denser, and the vast green land turned into a foggy one.

"Miss!"

Pei Ji took his raincoat and looked for Zhu Jiangjiang's shadow in the crowd.

Xu Yuan probably saw such a scene for the first time. Like the farmers just now, he stood on the ground, at a loss.

It turns out that what the book says is that peasants watch the sky and eat their food.

For a morsel of food, the common people have to pay so much.

As the emperor, Xu Yuan felt that the responsibility on his shoulders had increased a lot.

"I'm here……"

Zhu Jiangjiang hadn't seen Pei Ji's shadow yet, only heard his voice, but she still responded to him by raising her hand and waving.

Pei Ji found her and walked towards her quickly.

Zhu Jiangjiang only felt that his raincoat fell on her as soon as he put down his hand, "Sir, if you have anything to say, let's go back and talk, don't scold me here."

She spoke first, blocking all his words of complaint in her throat.

With a sullen face, Pei Ji snatched the hoe in her hand without saying a word, pushed her away, and took over her work.

……

After a morning of rescue, thousands of acres of melon seedlings were finally saved.

Although the melon seedlings were saved, all the rainwater from the melon fields flowed into the farm because of the slanted curvature of the melon field and the farm below.

The homes of the people in the farm were flooded.

"Prince Xu, did you send someone to check on other farms?" Zhu Jiangjiang was exhausted, his hands were white and wrinkled.

She sat down on the ridge at the head of the field, with the rain flowing under her feet, she washed her hands by the way.

Having fought this special battle with God, and knowing that the melon seedlings were saved, Xu Gu seemed quite excited, lying on the ground directly, letting the cold rain hit his face.

"When you said that the melon seedlings can be saved by draining water, I will send people to various farms, don't worry."

Xu Yuan did not participate in the melon field rescue this time, but stood aside and watched.

Among the people present, he was the only one who didn't have any rain on his body.

"Good luck, girl."

Xu Yuan walked towards them and looked at Zhu Jiangjiang gratefully.

As a member of the Dali Dynasty, she was invited to Xiaoxi Prefecture to help with farming and develop the farming that Xiaoxi Prefecture was least good at. She was supposed to be a guest of Xiaoxi Prefecture, but today she was asked to rescue melon seedlings in the rain.

To be honest, Xu Yuan felt sorry.

Zhu Jiangjiang raised his head when he heard the sound and saw that it was Xu Yuan, so he gave him an exhausted smile without saluting.

"Your Majesty is polite, this is what I should do."

They are cooperating, and she is not helping them with work for free. For her future business, she is tired and worth it. "But Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Isn't it just a small waterlogging disaster, as for alarming the emperor?

"I sent Father to come."

Xu Gu got up, wiped the rainwater off his face, and continued: "Father, do you now believe that my son can really endure hardship?"

Zhu Jiangjiang: "..."

This father and son are really a wonderful couple, they are so angry that they come to the field, and there is no one else.

"Two, excuse me."

Zhu Jiangjiang quickly interjected before the father and son started to talk.

"In order to avoid such things from happening again in the future, you select a few people to come to the post house, and I will tell you all the problems that Guatian may encounter in the future, so that you will not stand like today."

She knows that Xiaoxizhou is good at grazing but not good at farming, but they don't have to exaggerate so much that they can't even drain water, right?

How is this different from a primitive society that only knows how to hunt for a living and does not know how to farm?

"That's great!"

Xu Yuan readily agreed, "Tomorrow I will ask Da Sinong to take people to the posthouse to find Miss Zhu to study and attend classes."

Their chief farmer in Xiaoxi Prefecture has been idle for a long time because he doesn't know how to farm.

Now there is finally something for them to do, and they finally don't have to be idle.

"If possible, find some more literate farm managers." Zhu Jiangjiang suggested.

It's just that those officials go, she doesn't think it's so practical. Those officials, when there is something to do in the field, can't go to the field at the first time, and the farm manager is more useful.

Xu Yuan: "Listen to Miss Zhu!"
