Wu Bokai was still very satisfied with Liu Mingyi's attitude.
"We really need to hurry. Furthermore, we need to be as quiet as possible to avoid being noticed by the bandits.
Also, don't spread this news for the time being. The more people know about it, the greater the risk of exposure.
Especially since your village has a good harvest this year, if you're not careful you could be targeted, and then the loss would outweigh the gain."
Liu Mingyi deeply agreed with this.
"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right. I will certainly give you all a good warning when the time comes."
Anyway, this matter concerns everyone's safety, they won't do anything rash!"
"That's good. This village wall is good. Even if there are no bandits, with this village wall, the safety of the villagers will be more guaranteed in the future, right?
Your village has a good harvest, but it would be bad if it attracted some thugs.
I've seen that your harvest this year is at least 30% higher than usual. You should carefully analyze the reasons.
If you can figure out some planting techniques in the future, I'll go to the capital and ask for a reward for you."
Wow, what a sweet date! Liu Mingyi almost drooled.
"Really? That's fantastic. Don't worry, sir. I'll have everyone carefully review the results and try to find a way to increase grain production!"
Wu Bokai nodded in satisfaction, "That's good. Okay, go ahead and get busy. You can take the people to move the food I brought back from the truck later."
We must speed up the construction of the village wall. It must be fast and of high quality. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Uncle Lin.
I'm leaving this matter entirely to you and Uncle Lin, please make sure you get it done!"
"Yes! Don't worry, sir! I will definitely finish it as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Liu Mingyi walked out with a proud and confident look, leaving Xiao Lingling speechless.
"Godfather, it has to be you. The village chief has fooled everyone. He is almost stupid."
"Hey, girl, how can you say that about your godfather? You don't understand. People are sometimes like donkeys. If you want him to do things well, you have to hang some good things in front of him.
This way he will have endless energy, otherwise, who would be willing to work so hard for you?"
Little Bell didn't understand this and shook her head helplessly.
But when Xiao Lingdang thought about what Wu Bokai said about increasing production, she had an idea.
"Godfather, if grain production can be increased, will there really be a reward?"
As soon as Wu Bokai heard this, he knew that the increase in production in Shuanghe Village was probably related to her, and he immediately became interested.
"Of course! This is a major event that concerns the people of the entire Qingyang Kingdom!
If there really is such a way to reach heaven, I may not be able to guarantee other rewards, but silks, satins, gold, silver and jade will definitely be indispensable.
The most important thing is that if this method is available, it can be used to cultivate in areas where there is no drought, which may greatly alleviate the drought.
If this goes on, the reward might be even greater, maybe even an official title."
Little Bell's eyes lit up when she heard this.
This is good. It’s not about whether she will be an official or not, but about the merit, the great merit!
Not only can it benefit people's livelihood, it can also alleviate drought. It is much better than her foolishly using space to grow food.
So, she made up her mind.
"Godfather, if there is such a method, are you sure you can successfully send it to the court? Will it be taken advantage of by others?"
Wu Bokai became a little serious when he heard this, but still nodded seriously.
"Of course! I used to have a good classmate who was an upright person. He worked in the Inspectorate, and he was in charge of all kinds of favoritism, corruption, and bribery in the court.
Besides, he can submit a petition directly to the emperor. I will first write him a letter and then submit a petition. I think it will be safer."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Lingling had a better idea in her mind.
"That's fine. In fact, if we want to increase production, we can just use the grain harvested from Shuanghe Village this time to grow seeds."
Maybe the increase in production will not be as great as this time, but an increase of 20% to 30% is still no problem.
If you want to ensure an increase of more than 30% in yield, I can research some potions with my master, and then before planting, just soak the seeds in it for three days.
But I need two days to research this potion.
How about this? My family is also harvesting grain. I'll set aside some of the medicine and grain for the memorial in a couple of days. Is that okay?"
Wu Bokai naturally had no choice but to respond. If this could be accomplished, it would be a blessing for the people and a highlight in his political achievements.
Who knows, he might get promoted after this.
"Okay, just go ahead and research it. Come find me when you're ready. But it's getting late today. Now that the issue of the village wall has been resolved, I'm going back first."
Little Bell jumped off his lap and said, "Okay, then take care, godfather."
Wu Bokai poked her little face, stood up and left.
Xiao Lingling was thinking about the potion, so she filled a pot with a large amount of spirit pool water and went to the pharmacy next door excitedly.
Jiang Xinian was indeed here, and seemed to be studying some medicinal herbs.
"Hey, how come you, such a busy man, came to see Master today? I thought you had learned everything and didn't need Master anymore!"
Little Bell laughed awkwardly, "Master, are you kidding me? I just read the book once, how can I learn it? I still need to learn from you."
Jiang Xinian curled his lips. "Do you think I believe you? Tell me, what's the matter?"
Little Bell carefully placed the pot on the table. "Master! I want to research some potions that can increase grain production, but I can't do it alone. Could you please help me?"
Jiang Xinian already knew the secret of Xiao Lingling.
So the moment I saw the kettle, I guessed what was inside.
He pretended not to know and poured himself a glass of water. "Master is thirsty, I'll drink some water first."
Xiao Lingling was speechless, but didn't say much. Seeing that he drank three cups in a row and still wanted to pour more, she quickly raised her hand to stop him.
"Master, you must be so thirsty! If you drink any more, I'll run out of water."
It’s not that Xiao Lingling is stingy, but drinking too much water from the spirit pool will cause some reactions, and she is also thinking about Jiang Xinian.
Jiang Xinian smacked his lips. "Well, fine! I'll drink it another day! It's just a potion to increase production, so simple. Wait, I'll get it for you!"
With that, Jiang Xinian turned around and went to the medicine cabinet, picking up a lot of medicinal herbs from here and there.
Before Xiao Lingling could take a closer look, he threw it into the medicine pot and started to boil it, and poured the remaining water in the kettle into it.
After a while, the medicine jar began to gurgle.
He calmly raised his hand and gently poured the potion into the quick basin, filtered out the residue, and a basin of brown potion was ready!
