Chapter 31 Planting Sweet Potatoes Comprehensively
The next day, Yang Zheng handed over the task of delivering vegetables to Yang Qi and others, and he came to the sweet potato field early in the morning. These ridges of sweet potatoes grew extremely lush and dense, and they were so dense. Planting, there are still a lot of sweet potatoes in this field!
And the villagers of Guo Village also came to their respective fields, waiting for Cui Degui to bring someone to cut the sweet potato vines!

At eight o'clock sharp, Cui Degui came, followed by a large group of farmers.After Yang Zheng briefly explained to the leading farmers, everyone started to act on their own!Harvesting the sweet potato vines goes fast, while those in charge of cutting the vines for seed work much slower.

Several villages near the mountain knew that their village would be Yang Zheng's people, and they all worked hard, hoping to leave a good impression on Yang Zheng!Maybe they don't know, but Yang Zheng didn't intend to ask them to collect taxes at all, these people are wrong!
The villages that are farther away still need to prevent the sweet potato vines from being sunburned. They must hurry up and try to transport the sweet potato vines back before the sun is hot!
With cars coming and going on the official road, Guo Village has never been so lively.The carriage transporting the sweet potato vines was moving very fast. Now that the weather is bad, they must be taken home and planted quickly, otherwise something bad will happen.

Yang Zheng has already rode a roller to Xiaohe Village, which is close to Guo Village. Xiaohe Village is named after a mountain with a small river in front of it.The canals here are very well constructed, with several branch canals branched out from Xiaohe Village, connecting other villages in Guo County.Therefore, the geographical location of Xiaohe Village is very important, it is the throat leading to other villages in Guo County!
There are 79 households in Xiaohe Village, which is a relatively large village, and this was also taken into account by Yang Zheng.Therefore, the villagers very much welcome Yang Zheng to come to guide the work. Yang Zheng came to the farmer Lei Dengmu's field and personally went to the field to demonstrate the ridges. The soil on the ridges must be soft and thick to ensure the healthy growth of sweet potatoes!

Lei Dengmu and other villagers watched carefully from the sidelines. They didn't expect Yang Zheng's skills to be so good. The villagers admired Yang Zheng very much!Immediately afterwards, everyone painted a ladle according to the gourd, and started working in full swing!

After the ridges have been raised, everyone buries the cut sweet potato vines into the ridges, as long as a section of the head is exposed. After the sweet potato vines are buried, it is time to water.Yang Zheng drew out the spirit spring of space and filled the ditches of the whole county last night. The villagers directly used long ladles to scoop water from the ditch and poured water on the ridges. The cool spring of space gave the earth a comfortable feeling. The cold water bath, the villagers are full of expectations for the future!

Xiaohe Village has planted 1000 acres of sweet potatoes this time. If everything goes according to Yang Zheng's plan, Xiaohe Village will be able to harvest 80000 stones of sweet potatoes and complete the task assigned by Li Shimin. Basically, there will be no problem!

Seeing that the villagers in Xiaohe Village were doing well, Yang Zheng left with confidence. The next stop was Xiaolin Village.

The location of Xiaolin Village is relatively high, and the canals here are built on the mountainside, and water must be pumped up from the bottom of the mountain.Women and children who stayed behind pumped the water up!
When Yang Zheng arrived, the villagers had already begun to dig up the ridges.However, everyone obviously did not fully understand the planting technology of sweet potatoes. Many of the ridges were too thin, and the soil was too hardened, which could not meet the basic requirements for planting sweet potatoes.

When the villagers saw Yang Zheng coming, they hurriedly put down their hoes and came to greet Yang Zheng.

However, Yang Zheng took the hoe from a villager and walked into the field: "Everyone's ridges are not well raised, let me demonstrate, otherwise you will be in vain this season!"

Yang Zheng easily waved his hoe to break up the compacted soil, and then added some soil on the ridge, and then said: "As you can see, the soil must be soft, the soil on the ridge must be thick, and the ridge must be wide. It needs to be 80 centimeters high and 30 centimeters high, so that such a ridge can be filled with sweet potatoes!"

The villagers were a little embarrassed. Everyone thought too easily about planting sweet potatoes, thinking that if they inserted this thing in, they would be able to harvest at that time.Now it seems that this is not the case. Everyone agrees that Lord Yang is really a master!

After leaving Xiaolin Village, Yang Zheng hurried to Shuanglu Village again.The geographical location of Shuanglu Village is a little shorter. The village is basically built next to a small river, with a mountain gully behind it. If there is a mountain torrent, this small mountain village will be in danger!Not to mention harvesting sweet potatoes, I'm afraid it's hard to guarantee personal safety!However, the soil conditions here are obviously good. If the drainage system is done well, Shuanglu Village will definitely have a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes!
Yang Zheng summoned Zhao Hongsheng, the village official of Shuanglu Village, and asked, "Zhao Village, why didn't you build a flood drainage canal here? If there is a flash flood, will the crops still be harvested?"

Zhao Hongsheng hurriedly said: "My lord, we seldom have floods here. I often hear the old people in the village say that Shuanglu Village has not had floods for at least hundreds of years!"

But Yang Zheng said: "Zhao Cunzheng, we have to prevent problems before they happen! Shuanglu Village is low in terrain, we must consider flood drainage channels, otherwise once the water comes, catastrophe will be imminent!" Yang Zheng is not scaremongering, Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, natural disasters have continued, and it is inevitable that they will not affect Shuanglu Village.

Yang Zheng ignored Zhao Hongsheng's silence there, and directly called the villagers over, explained the idea of ​​building a flood drainage canal, and emphasized the importance of sweet potato cultivation. If everyone can't grow sweet potatoes well, what good will it do in the future? There will be no part of Shuanglu Village!

The villagers of Shuanglu Village have long heard that Lord Yang of Guo Village is now prosperous. Today, when they went to pull sweet potato vines, they found out that Yang Zheng had exempted the villagers of Guo Village from taxes. The villagers of Guo Village We are now following Yang Zheng to grow vegetables, fruits, and raise fish, cattle, sheep, and horses, and our life is very prosperous!Some villagers had relatives in Guo Village, and they actually found out that every household in Guo Village received 6 guan of money last night. He couldn't help but be stunned!Therefore, you must follow Yang Zheng's footsteps, otherwise you may not even be able to take a sip of dishwater in the future!
The construction plan of the flood drain was quickly drawn up. The flood drain not only connected the mountain ravine, but also connected every piece of land. The sweet potato field could not be soaked by water. The final outlet was connected to the small river. Although the project The amount is a bit large, but Yang Zheng thinks it's worth it.

After demonstrating sweet potato planting in Shuanglu Village, Yang Zheng went to the next stop.After seeing several villages under his command, Yang Zheng felt very satisfied. The sweet potatoes were basically planted, and the spring water in the space was watered. More importantly, everyone supported Yang Zheng, which made Yang Zheng connect with him. The plan to come down is very confident!
At the same time, other villages in Guo County also seized the time to plant sweet potatoes. Cui Degui personally led all officials of the county government to hold on-site office meetings in each village in turn.For the problems in each village, Cui Degui immediately solved them on the spot and gave the villagers very strong technical support.

When night fell, the entire Guo County was immersed in endless anticipation.
