Chapter 221 Who Dares to Move

The experts drove away Su Laosan and his companions and went down to pull out the seedlings themselves.

The long roots of the seedlings came out easily without breaking because the soil was soft.

"These seedlings!" Looking at the developed and strong roots, the experts didn't know what words to use to express their joy.

"Why do you look familiar to me?" An expert looked at Su Laosan.

"I've worked in Taicang Office." Su Lao San said lightly.

"Are you also from Sinong Temple? Excuse me, excuse me!" The man bowed to Su Lao San.

The Sinong Temple is large and has many departments. Most of the planting experts are in the countryside and imperial farms, focusing on crops, and spend little time in the government office.

I have an impression of Su Laosan because he was a low-ranking official who had to go to the countryside to supervise during the harvest season, and we met several times during that time.

"Hey, isn't this the Taicang Secretary?" another expert recognized him.

This shout attracted the attention of Dou Jing and several officials who were not far away.

Su Bucheng was dismissed and his family was implicated. Su Laosan was the most capable of the Taicang officials and was about to be promoted when he was implicated by his brother.

The direct superior was very sorry. Dou Jing was his superior's superior. He only knew that his subordinates were affected, but he didn't expect to meet him here.

Everyone stared at each other in an awkward atmosphere.

Especially Dou Jing. It was the Su family who proposed the grain-specialized area, and it was the Su family who proposed the promotion of double-season rice throughout Lingnan Province, as well as the fertilizing soil method and seed soaking method...

Dou Jing felt like she was here to pick fruit, and even met her former subordinates. It was an awkward feeling.

Seeing Dou Jing looking over, Su Lao San bowed and saluted him, "Greetings, Master Temple Minister!"

Su Laosan recognized the Temple Minister, but the Temple Minister did not recognize him.

"Well, are you doing well here?" Dou Jing had to chat for a few minutes.

"Your Excellency, everything is fine. Thank you for your concern!" Su Lao San said respectfully.

"Are you taking care of these lands?" Dou Jing asked for the sake of conversation.

"Yes!" Su Laosan started talking about this experimental field.

From the initial selection of humus and cultivated land to the subsequent soaking of seeds and the growth of seedlings, the details are explained in detail, especially the comparative data, which can be easily cited.

The experts stopped pulling up the seedlings and gathered around to listen.

This is their routine work. They saw the Su family's experimental field firsthand and felt very sorry for the links that were missed in the middle. They didn't expect someone to explain it in such detail.

"How do you remember it so clearly?" Dou Jing's favorability towards Su Lao San increased sharply.

This kind of official who has both professional knowledge and management skills is the most useful.

"Your Excellency, in addition to observing the fields every day, I also made detailed records." Su Lao San replied.

"Oh, let's go and take a look!" Dou Jing said happily.

This information is extremely important and can be used as a basis for technical guidance in the special administrative region.

The planting experts also came ashore and followed him back to Su's house, all wanting to take a look.

A group of people left the fields in a hurry.

"Sir!" Su Ying grabbed Lu Zhaoshi.

"What's the matter?" Lu Zhaoshi smiled. The Su family made him proud, and he looked radiant.

"Foot-operated thresher! The winter wheat will be ripe soon! If we don't launch it soon, we will miss this wave of promotion!" Su Ying reminded.

"Oh, I forgot!" Lu Zhaoshi slapped his head.

"I had already made a prototype and improved it several times, but then the Minister of the Temple suddenly came and I forgot about it when he left."

"Sir! How could you forget this?" Su Ying was dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Have someone send it here immediately!" Lu Zhaoshi was not angry.

He said to Wang Yannian, "Heling, send someone back to Wuzhou to deliver a batch of pedal threshers to Wuxian, and send ten to Huanggou Village alone."

Wang Yannian smiled and arranged for his entourage to return to the county post station to deliver the letter.

"Don't worry, it won't delay your farming time!" Lu Zhaoshi said with a smile.

"Sir, there is one more thing." Su Ying thought of Yangma.

Now that the people from the Sino-Agricultural Ministry have arrived, I think the matter of Lingnan Dao being designated as a special grain administration area has been finalized.

Thinking of the high-intensity pulling and transplanting of rice seedlings twice a year, Su Ying felt it necessary to make rice seedling horses as soon as possible.

Otherwise, farmers will become disabled in a few years due to severe strain on their lumbar spine. Working two seasons a year, even if they don't die from exhaustion, their lifespan will be greatly shortened.

This is exchanging life for food!

"Speak!" Lu Zhaoshi knew that there was another good thing.

"Find someone to develop a rice seedling horse that can move forward and backward in the paddy field, can be sat on or ridden backward, and can also plant rice seedlings at the same time." Su Ying described the functions of the rice seedling horse.

Lu Zhaoshi's eyes widened, "Can you really make this thing?"

If we had this thing, pulling out and transplanting seedlings would be much easier, and labor efficiency would be greatly improved.

"Of course!" Su Ying said affirmatively.

"It must be expensive, right?" Lu Zhaoshi asked.

Among these functions, moving forward and backward, sitting or riding is not difficult, the difficult part is the interruption!

When planting rice seedlings, people rely on feel to determine the depth. A seedling horse is just an object, so how can we determine the depth without damaging the root system?

"It depends on your research and development. Just use cheap elm wood to make it. It sounds complicated, but it's actually simple." Su Ying squatted on the ground and drew a schematic diagram on the soil.

The key lies in the gear. While moving backward, the gear rotates one or several teeth. The distance of retreat is the distance between plants, and it is exactly the number of rotations required to insert several nests of seedlings into the ground.

The rice seedlings have been developed and can be promoted in Lingnan Province and even all rice-growing areas.

"Aying! How did you come up with this?" Lu Zhaoshi wanted to knock Su Ying's head open to take a look.

The pedal thresher and rice-seedling horse are simply magical tools that help in double-season rice cultivation.

"Well, lazy people will naturally try every possible way to save time in order to avoid getting tired!" Su Ying smiled cunningly.

"Okay, draw a sketch for me, and I'll go back and ask them to think about it and try to use it for next season's sowing!" said Lu Zhaoshi.

Su Ying didn't say anything, just stared at Lu Zhaoshi.

"Okay, you Huanggou Village will give away ten!" Lu Zhaoshi smiled, knowing that this girl would not give them away for free!

"Twenty!" Su Ying lionly opened his mouth.

This is not as good as a foot-operated thresher, which requires several people to operate it at the same time.

Each person is responsible for one rice seedling plant. Ten plants are too few. There are so many paddy fields that they cannot be used for planting.

"Okay, twenty! You! You are such a money-grubber!" Lu Zhaoshi was amused.

This is to make myself look good in front of the Lord Temple Minister, and twenty rice-planting horses are on duty.

"Uncle Wang, you don't have to worry about the rice seedlings! The governor has given us twenty of them!" Su Ying said to Wang Sanlang in the field.

"That's great! Thank you Aying, and thank you, Governor!" The villagers bowed to the two of them to express their gratitude.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Lu Zhaoshi and Su Ying went to Su's house.

County Magistrate Hu accompanied Dou Jing and others to arrive at Su's house first.

When Lu Jie and several others were eaten by wild beasts, County Magistrate Hu sent a letter to Lu Zhaoshi, who replied by burning the letter on the spot.

At the same time, he sent a letter to his family, saying that there are many mountains and ferocious beasts in Lingnan, and that those people encountered ferocious beasts at night and were all eaten. He attached the coroner's inquest report with the letter, and then ignored it.

The Lu family would not care about a few servants, just like the death of a cat or a dog.

The servants were even more pleased, as the vacant position was just right for them, and no one had time to cause trouble.

As for the special grain administration area proposed by Lu Zhaoshi, it would not only offend the Lu family, but all the aristocratic families.

As Su Bucheng analyzed, the court adopted this suggestion, which meant that he stood on the side of the court. With the court and the Khan behind him, who would dare to move?
