The people stopped crying, but there were still traces of tears on their faces and they spoke hesitantly.
"Of course we trust the prince, but farming requires fertility. The land is so dry and cracked that even if we water it and dig it up, the seeds we sow will most likely be eaten by rats and ants..."
If the crops weren't eaten by chance, the soil wouldn't be fertile, so they'd have a hard time growing!"
"We used to compost our own waste, but now people eat less and excrete even less...there's no more compost left."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started crying again.
Li Junyan has not been idle these days. He has read a lot of books on farming and knows that what they said is true.
"Don't worry about the fertilizer. Just keep your feet on the ground and do the tasks assigned to you one by one."
"yes."
While the people agreed, they also had some expectations in their hearts: If the goddess can provide grain seeds and so much refined rice and flour, there must be fertilizer as well, right?
Whether the crops grow well or not depends entirely on whether they are fat and strong!
Li Junyan went to check the progress of the well drilling and found that it was going smoothly, but the speed was a bit slow for the time being.
Only after other drilling equipment arrives and drilling can the speed be increased significantly.
However, the farther away from Tingzhoucheng, the more difficult it is to pull the electric wires there.
If a solar power station is built in the fields outside the city, this problem can be solved, but if that is the case, Tingzhou's secret will be even more exposed.
Although people outside Tingzhou would know about it sooner or later, Li Junyan still wanted to delay that day until Tingzhou had made all preparations.
Looking at the farmland in the distance, Li Junyan suppressed the matter for the time being and would go back to discuss it with Sang Jueqian to see if there were any other ways to obtain electricity.
Li Junyan returned to the study in the twilight. At this time, Sang Jueqian had just returned to the grocery store from outside.
The two looked at each other and saw that they were both exhausted.
Li Junyan was the first to speak, asking the question in his mind, "Qianqian, aren't you interviewing employees? Why are you so embarrassed?"
Sang Jueqian subconsciously dusted himself off and said, "The interview was already over a long time ago, and Lao Jin sent a message saying that he had prepared everything I asked him to prepare, so I went to the warehouse and brought everything here.
"Shall I give you the drilling equipment first? That way, we won't delay the progress over there."
Sang Jueqian knew that Li Junyan had been having people digging wells day and night.
Give him the tools for digging wells quickly so that those people can progress faster.
Tingzhou really needs to dig a lot of wells now, and Li Junyan did not bother to be polite with Sang Jueqian and agreed directly.
The equipment for digging wells was quite heavy, and there were many things in it. People were coming and going in the study room at once, so even if Li Junyan wanted to talk to Sang Jueqian, he had no chance.
It was not until an hour later, when all the drilling equipment had been removed, that Li Junyan walked to the window.
As soon as Li Junyan looked at Sang Jueqian, he found that Sang Jueqian's face was covered with sweat and looked tired.
"Qianqian, go wash up quickly. I've asked the chef to prepare your favorite dishes. You can eat when you come down later."
Sang Jueqian was sweating all over and felt really sticky and uncomfortable. He responded and went upstairs immediately.
After taking a hot shower, all the fatigue in his body disappeared, and Sang Jueqian's brain could continue thinking.
Sang Jueqian was thinking about something while walking downstairs. Just as he reached the window and looked at Li Junyan over there, he saw him hurriedly avoiding his sight.
From Sang Jueqian's perspective, he could only see Li Junyan's ears, which were turning red at this moment.
They have known each other for a while. Seeing Li Junyan's reaction, Sang Jueqian knew that he was shy.
But, she was wearing her nightgown properly!
No exposed shoulders, no exposed cleavage...
etc!
Sang Jueqian lowered his head and looked at his legs.
The length of the nightgown just covered her knees, and her calves were exposed to the air.
So, he was shy because he saw her calves?
Sang Jueqian wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he said nothing.
She could understand that as an ancient man, he paid great attention to the separation between men and women.
But she wasn't wearing revealing clothes. She couldn't possibly wear long sleeves and long pants every day just because of him, could she?
Sang Jueqian was just thinking about it when she saw Li Junyan slowly turn around, his eyes fixed on her face, not daring to let any of them wander.
"Qianqian, don't think too much. It was my fault just now. I overreacted."
Li Junyan suddenly apologized with a sincere attitude and earnest words.
Sang Jueqian was not angry at first, and now he didn't even have a cold face anymore.
"You and I live in different times, and I understand you." Sang Jueqian said.
But the more Sang Jueqian said this, the more guilty Li Junyan looked.
"Qianqian can understand me, but I can't fully understand Qianqian. It's my fault.
From now on, Qianqian can wear whatever she wants, and don’t worry about me.”
Hearing this, Sang Jueqian was really surprised.
Even if one admits his mistakes and corrects them, isn't it a bit too quick to correct them?
At this time, Li Junyan continued, "I will definitely not look at anything indecent, so keep your eyes open."
Sang Jueqian, “…”
There was no solution to this topic any further, so Sang Jueqian decisively sat down by the window and rubbed his stomach, "Lezhi, I'm hungry."
"I'll have dinner served right away."
Li Junyan said this and clapped his hands lightly.
As he clapped his hands, someone came in carrying a table.
The table was placed next to the window, with the tabletop just higher than the window frame, and the entire tabletop seemed to be resting on the window frame.
Sang Jueqian looked at him with curiosity but did not ask in a hurry.
The table had just been set when more people came in.
They held food in their hands and placed it on the table one by one, and soon the table was full.
After they all left, Li Junyan rearranged the food on the table, and then considerately served Sang Jueqian a bowl of porridge and a bowl of soup, and placed them in front of Sang Jueqian.
"Fish porridge and pork rib soup are both Qianqian's favorite flavors. Qianqian, come and try them." Li Junyan called.
The food is not unusual; what is unusual is the way of eating.
Before, the two of them ate at their respective tables separated by a window.
But now, the two of them sat opposite each other and ate at the same table.
This made Sang Jueqian feel novel.
Sang Jueqian looked at Li Junyan curiously, "Why did you think of eating like this?"
Li Junyan kept smiling, "I want to have dinner at the same table with Qianqian."
