When everyone heard the good news, all eyes were focused on Lu Chen.

Yang Jin put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Tell me what good news you have?"

Lu Chen smiled with his white teeth: "Master Zheng invites everyone to come over. He has something good to show everyone!"

When Yang Jin heard about the good stuff, his mind had already flown out of the greenhouse.

"Come on, take us there quickly!"

After he finished speaking, he remembered Xiao Jingzhou and immediately turned around to make way for him: "Your Highness, please go first. You can show us some new knowledge!"

Xiao Jingzhou left a team of people to guard the seeds, and took Haohao and his group to see the good things that Zheng Shuyu mentioned.

Zheng Shuyu saw someone coming from afar and whispered, "Check carefully, don't make any mistakes that will make me lose face!"

Seeing a group of people getting closer, Zheng Shuyu hurried to meet them.

He ran and shouted: "Your Highness, the water pipe is connected!"

...

...

Upon hearing this, everyone quickened their pace.

Zheng Shuyu led a group of people and walked outside the greenhouse.

He pointed to the red valve at the bottom of the water pipe.

Zheng Shuyu operated it manually while explaining: "Your Highness, this thing is called a valve. Once you turn it on... water will come out."

Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the water pipes in the greenhouse.

When the clear water gushed out fiercely, cheers suddenly rang out.

"Very good!"

"With the water flow, we no longer have to worry about the water source in the greenhouse!"

“In the past, we would go to the river or pond to fetch water to water the vegetables.

Now it’s great, you can water the plants without even leaving the greenhouse! ”

Xiao Jingzhou had seen the scene in a video, but seeing it with his own eyes, he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words when he thought about using it for farming in the future.

Zheng Shuyu's face was full of pride: "Don't worry, I'll show you a big move!"

He ordered, "Start."

Eight soldiers stood by the barrel in the shed. They dropped the submersible pump into the barrel and turned it on at the same time.

A thin mist of water gushed out from the densely packed drip irrigation nozzles and sprayed onto the dry mud, slowly wetting the ground layer by layer.

Yang Jin reacted in shock.

“That’s amazing!”

"It's amazing! Water comes out as soon as you twist it!"

"With the submersible pump being able to spray water mist, we now have such a great thing, so why should we worry about not being able to grow good crops?"

Yang Jin's words gave everyone confidence.

"General Yang is right! It will definitely work!"

Zheng Shuyu ordered his men to turn off the water, and the generals gathered around, feeling around and looking around.

Xiao Jingzhou said: "Master Zheng has understood the watering thing in a short period of time, which shows that he has put in a lot of effort.

On behalf of the people of Zhiyi City, I would like to thank Lord Zheng for his sincere heart for the people. ”

Zheng Shuyu originally wanted to hear praise, and when he saw Xiao Jingzhou thanking him solemnly.

I didn’t know what to do for a moment.

"This is what I should do. Your Highness, if you thank me, wouldn't that be embarrassing for me?"

He is now completely honest and will never ask for praise again.

Seeing that he was about to cry, Xiao Jingzhou stopped thanking him.

On that day, Xiao Jingzhou distributed the vegetable seeds and asked the people to sow them.

Most of the people in Zhiyi City come from poor backgrounds, and many of them know how to farm.

As soon as the people got the vegetable seeds, they poured them into the wood ash prepared in advance and mixed them well.

Wood ash not only has sterilization effect, but also has the effect of increasing fertilizer, and it can be easily spread evenly.

The general who led the vegetable planting also received the information sent by Jiang Zhenyu, which clearly stated the planting methods. The seeds of vegetables such as lettuce should not be entangled with wood ash, as it would affect the germination rate.

The people scattered the vegetable seeds on the tilled ground and covered it with a thin layer of fine soil.

There are not many greenhouses equipped with drip irrigation, so the people carry buckets and use bamboo as leaky pipes to sprinkle water.

The people sweated and waited for the seeds to sprout.

The other side.

Yang Jin led his men, carrying forage seeds, to the river bank.

At that time, Xiao Jingzhou was already waiting here.

Yang Jin took a bag of grass seeds off his shoulder and walked to Xiao Jingzhou.

"Your Highness, the weather is getting colder. Can the grass seeds survive?"

He was not worried about doing useless work, but he was afraid that the grass would not survive and so many grass seeds would be wasted.

Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "These forage grass seeds are cold-resistant and drought-resistant. As long as it doesn't snow, they can survive in weather colder than this."

Yang Jin's eyes widened in shock: "How can this be grass seeds? It's simply a treasure!"

"Your Highness, you don't know. There is little rain in the autumn and winter in the north, and even the Red Northern Barbarians have to roll up the grass in advance to feed the cattle, sheep, and horses in the winter.

When we were doing trade with Chibei before, these bastards took a lot of our hay money! ”

Xiao Jingzhou really didn't know about this matter.

He only knew that the trade had only been going on for a year when Chibei and Beiliang began to get restless.

This forced my father to close the city gates again and prevent the enemy from entering the city, which created an irreversible situation.

The idea of ​​the mutual trade was originally proposed by him and the Grand Tutor, but things have changed now.

The winter wind is so fierce that it hurts people's faces.

Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "Wet the ground, then mix the grass seeds with wood ash and spread it down."

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Yang Jin had the rare good sense to quickly agree.

"Yes, I will take people to do it right away!"

Building greenhouses, tilling the land, sowing and watering, and digging ditches and canals are all done in parallel.

The seeds in the greenhouse over here haven't been sown yet, but they've already sprouted.

The people, soldiers and prisoners of Zhiyi City saw that the vegetable fields they had taken care of had finally sprouted.

It is rare for everyone to be united, and they naturally feel a sense of accomplishment and are full of confidence in life.

The prisoners were farming under supervision. When they got close to the river and saw the vast water, they wanted to dive into the river and take a good cool bath.

Many captives even began to cry and hold their heads in their hands.

“There’s actually a river in Dajing, and gods are helping.

This battle is doomed to be lost no matter how we fight! ”

"Wow, wow, wow... If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have joined the army."

"Don't cry, at least we are still alive. Think about the brothers who died. They went against the gods without thinking. I don't know if they will be punished by the gods after they die!"

The prisoners, who had stopped crying, cried even louder after hearing these words.

"We are also going against God. Will we go to hell too?"

Chen Gan and Qi Hou stood aside, watching the prisoners crying bitterly, and laughed secretly in their hiding place.

Yang Jin glanced at them and said, "Do more good things in the future, and then others will forgive you."

Hearing this, the captives looked at each other and made some kind of decision in their hearts.

Xiao Jingzhou was not aware of what was happening on the riverbank.

He took several photos of the sprouts in the greenhouse, picked out the good-looking ones and kept them, and deleted the rest.

When he returned to the study, he sent the message to Jiang Zhenyu, wanting to share the good news as soon as possible.

Jiang Zhenyu looked at the toothpick-sized sprouts and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

She was also one of the witnesses in the sowing and planting.

The moment she saw the tender sprouts, her eyes instantly became moist.

"Xiao Jingzhou, you guys are really awesome!"

Jiang Zhenyu's compliment came out without hesitation, which made Xiao Jingzhou happy.

Xiao Jingzhou: "This is all thanks to the seeds the girl sent."

He said: "Jingzhou followed the girl's suggestion and spread grass seeds on both sides of the river bank, and now tender leaves have begun to grow.

The people were afraid of stepping on the horses' rations, so they all walked around them. ”

At this time, Lu Chen walked into the study: "Your Highness, General Gu and General Yang have something to report, and they are waiting in the hall."

Jiang Zhenyu could hear Lu Chen's words: "Go and get busy."

"Okay, I'll be back soon." Xiao Jingzhou put away the wooden bowl and strode out of the study.

He frowned: "What's the matter?"

Lu Chen said: "The spy has returned to the city."
