But Wang Huai'an wouldn't listen at all, he just kept crying and muttering, "Revenge? How can we get revenge? We don't even know who did it! My son..."
He cried and cried until he finally fainted.
The Second Prince looked at the unconscious Wang Huai'an, his brows furrowing deeply. Wang Hu had become like this.
Not only did he lose a useful pawn, but it could also affect his plans in the county town. It was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
After emptying the county magistrate's mansion, Shen Qingtang did not rest.
She led Shen Minglan and several trusted servants to the saline-alkali land they had previously discovered, and began to study how to improve the soil.
"This saline-alkali land is unsuitable for growing crops mainly because the soil is too salty and alkaline."
Shen Qingtang squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil and analyzed, "If we want to improve it, we must first reduce the salinity of the soil."
She took out several modern water pumps and pipes from the space and connected them to the nearby river.
We started by irrigating the saline-alkali land with a large amount of water to wash away the salt on the soil surface.
Next, she took out some well-rotted organic fertilizer and special agents for soil improvement.
Spread the fertilizer and pesticide evenly on the ground, then use a hoe to till it, allowing the fertilizer and pesticide to mix thoroughly with the soil.
"These organic fertilizers can increase the organic matter in the soil and improve its structure; while the pesticides can neutralize the alkalinity of the soil."
While working, Shen Qingtang explained to Shen Minglan, "Once the soil has been improved enough, we can plant some salt-tolerant crops, such as cotton, sunflowers, and some vegetables. We're sure to have a good harvest."
Shen Minglan watched as Shen Qingtang skillfully operated the modern tools.
Listening to her eloquent explanation, I was filled with admiration: "You're amazing! I've never even seen these things before, yet you know everything about them."
Shen Qingtang smiled and said, "These are all things I learned before. As long as we work hard, it won't be long before this saline-alkali land is turned into fertile fields. At that time, not only will we have food to eat, but we can also help the people in the town."
The local people, seeing Shen Qingtang improving the land, all gathered around curiously.
When they heard that these "miracle objects" could make crops grow on saline-alkali land.
They were all so excited that they rushed forward to help. They had suffered enough from hunger and poverty, and were willing to work hard no matter how hard or tiring it was, as long as there was a harvest.
Looking at the enthusiastic people, Shen Qingtang secretly resolved to build this town up well.
Let the people here live a good life, and let those who want to harm her see it.
Even if she were exiled, Shen Qingtang would still live a very successful life!
When Wang Huai'an woke up in the back hall of the county government office, he felt a splitting headache and his whole body was sore and weak. The huge blow of his son being crippled had left him physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"Water...give me water..." he called out weakly.
He called out for a long time, but no one responded. Wang Huai'an was puzzled. Where were all the servants who usually fawned over him today?
