Chapter 329: Ready to Plant Rice
In the rice nursery field, Zhang Deshui and Li Lanzhen were discussing that it was time to start large-scale rice planting.
The seedlings in the nursery field are growing very well.
The seedlings are strong and green. The mountain breeze blows, creating green waves.
"Brother Zhang, I think your rice seedlings can be dug out and planted."
"Yes, you are right. If it is too late and the spacing between the seedlings is too small, they will grow wildly.
If you transplant it and plant it in a paddy field, it will easily fall over."
"So we're starting tomorrow?"
"It will start tomorrow. I'll talk to the village chief later to see how it's arranged."
“Brother Zhang, I think it’s best to arrange most of the people here.
Transplant all the seedlings in the shortest possible time."
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Du Yanqing, Fatty Pang, and the middle-aged man stood beside them, listening carefully and taking notes.
Ever since the three of them came, they have been following Zhang Deshui.
How to select sweet potatoes and potatoes? How to grow seedlings? How to plant them in the field?
They have all participated and it has all been recorded.
I have been following the process of raising and transplanting rice seedlings these days.
Since that day, the middle-aged man has been silent and you can hardly hear him say a few words a day.
But he always carried a pen and ink with him to write something down.
And that official Pang had been following the Minister of Revenue closely and recording something.
Li Lan was thinking that this might just be the different division of labor among the three of them.
Li Lanzhen did not say anything about their affairs.
As long as they do their own things in an orderly manner and don't interfere in anything in Taohuayuan, it will be fine.
But Zhang Deshui once told her.
It is said that one day they were sowing rice seeds in the rice seedling field to grow rice seedlings.
The middle-aged man and the Minister of Revenue had once had a fierce quarrel with each other.
Later, the Minister of Revenue said something and the middle-aged man stopped talking.
Li Lanzhen knew it without asking.
The middle-aged man must have thought that this method of growing seedlings was not advisable, and must have said that she, as a woman, was wasting food, time, and land!
He wanted to stop it and do it the same way he did in the past.
However, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue followed the emperor's instructions and strictly refrained from interfering with all agricultural activities in Taohuayuan.
Perhaps the Minister of Revenue would reprimand him and send him back if he interfered with the activities here.
Sending it back would be like sending your life!
Because the prince has already said that one way is to get out, but not to get out alive!
Li Lanzhen sometimes couldn't figure it out and realized that she was really asking for trouble.
The emperor has already spoken, you just need to do as he asks.
It seems that deep down he still has some lack of respect for the emperor!
Li Lanzhen could guess that even if this middle-aged man returned to the court in the autumn, he would not have a good time!
Never mind, this has nothing to do with her.
Some people will not give up until they reach the Yellow River. They always use the rules and regulations of the past and always use their past experiences to look at what is happening now.
If he doesn't suffer, who will? !
"Okay, Brother Zhang, I'll go see if my dad has made the farm tools I want."
When Zhang Deshui heard her talking about farm tools, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Sister Lanzhen, is this the rice-planting implement you mentioned?"
Li Lanzhen nodded, "Yes, it's the rice transplanter. If we have it, it will free up a lot of labor.
This way we can plant rice faster and save time.”
"Okay, go ahead. I'll go find the village chief to arrange things for tomorrow."
The Minister of Revenue winked at the official Pang standing next to him.
He understood immediately and ran after Li Lanzhen.
Li Lan turned around and asked him in confusion, "Sir, where are you following me?"
"Hey, Auntie, my name is Pang Qing, you can just call me by my name.
I want to follow you to see what the rice transplanting tools you mentioned look like. Let me see them, let me see them. Hehe."
Li Lanzhen snorted coldly. "Experience?" I'm afraid you want to ask for the blueprint and copy it again.
"Come on, they're in the woodshop. Let's go check it out."
Before the two men reached the door of the woodworking workshop, bursts of cheers broke out in the yard.
After Li Lanzhen stepped into the yard, she saw a group of people gathered together, chattering loudly and laughing.
Zhang Songshu spoke the loudest, "Xishui, you are so smart that you can actually make a farm tool that can walk in the paddy field to plant rice.
This is great! With this, we can plant rice much faster!"
After saying that, Li Lanzhen saw Zhang Songshu and several other men lifting Li Xishui up and throwing him high into the air.
He kept shouting, "Li Xishui, good job! One, two, three!"
Li Lanzhen also laughed. Seeing how excited they were, Li Erhan and Li Xishui should have already made the rice transplanting tools according to the drawings.
The simple blueprint of the rice transplanter was found by Li Lanzhen from the recipes and drawings in the space.
Years ago, all the drawings related to farm tools and furniture were given to Xishui.
After the Chinese New Year, they began to research and create it.
I first made a few smaller models and conducted repeated research and experiments.
This is how it was produced!
Li Erhan looked at this group of boys, who threw Li Xishui into the air again and again and caught him, and shouted with joy.
He also held the pipe, took a few puffs and laughed happily.
I looked up and saw Li Lanzhen coming in, waving the pipe in her hand and saying.
"My girl, you are here, come and see, we have made the rice transplanter you mentioned."
When Zhang Songshu and the others saw Li Lanzhen coming in, they quickly put Li Xishui down and calmed down.
Li Xishui was thrown high into the air by them, and then he felt dizzy and had headaches several times.
At this time he stopped staggeringly, came up and grabbed Li Lanzhen's hand, grinning foolishly.
"Big sister, you're here, come and have a look, the rice transplanter is ready! I've tested it, and it works great!"
After saying that, he stared at Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen found his expression funny. He was already a father of two children, yet he was looking at her eagerly for praise.
She was not at all stingy in praising her brother.
Patting him on the shoulder, he said, "Li Xishui, you are awesome! Just as smart as your elder sister, so awesome!"
Li Xishui touched his head and laughed.
After finishing it, I always feel that this sentence is wrong.
Sister, is she praising me for making the rice transplanter, or is she praising her own intelligence?
Pang Qing held the rice transplanter's armrests tightly with both hands, his mouth open in shock, not knowing what to say.
