I was the best old lady in ancient times

"This this……?"

The officials in Huangzhuang were right about one thing, Xie Qiping had been reading all the time, and he read a lot of everything in books.

I really don't know much about farming.

But even if he doesn't understand, it doesn't mean he is not smart.

Soon, I figured out why Mrs. Ning asked the servants to dig the ground like this.

If the land is on a slope, first of all, it will be very inconvenient for farmers.

It is also possible that if you are not careful, you will roll down the hillside.

Even if you don't fall to your death, it is very possible to break your arm or leg.

Now digging into such a trapezoidal shape, Xie Qiping can imagine that when he digs to the bottom layer of the hillside, going up the mountain in the future will be like climbing up steps, instead of having to climb up obliquely as hard as now.

Moreover, because each piece of land is about two feet wide, most of the stones in the mud have been dug out and piled up at the edge of the ground.

One is to fix the shape of the ladder, and the other is to prevent the water from rushing down from the top of the hillside when it rains or watering, which will wash away the land and ensure that the water and soil will not be lost.

This approach is really wonderful.

For Xie Qiping's repeated praises, Ning Pengpeng just smiled.

As long as you are a modern person, you can actually tell at a glance that this is the terraced fields in Yunnan and Guangxi.

However, because the family is located in a hilly area, the area of ​​the terraced fields dug is also large. There are strips like hers, and some are wavy.

Ning Pengpeng just changed it a little bit, after all, this is just a slope, not a hill.

"Master Xie, look, there are only a few servants assigned to us in the Huangzhuang, if we ask them to dig all the terraced fields before planting, I'm afraid there will be too little time.

Therefore, it is better to let two people first loosen the soil on the top piece of land, then plant sweet potatoes and cultivate sweet potato vines first.

I believe that after turning this rocky slope into terraced fields, the vines grown from these sweet potatoes should be able to be cut!
What do you think? "

Hearing what Ning Pengpeng said, Xie Qiping's eyes lit up immediately, it's so good, both ways.

What made him feel most at ease was that this old lady Ning was really good at being a human being.

She obviously came up with the solution, but between the lines, she always put him first to ask for instructions, and finally let him make the decision.

"Just do as you say, and you will watch over the sweet potato planting.

I will supervise the digging below. "

"Thank you, my lord!"

There is only half a basket of sweet potatoes, and only two plots of land are needed to raise seedlings.

It means that after planting, Ning Pengpeng can rest!

However, she is not a white-eyed person, and naturally it is impossible to really rest after planting.

Xie Qiping saw Mrs. Ning who brought someone to dig the ground after planting sweet potatoes, and felt that this old lady was really on her way.

If it was a boy with such a delicate heart, he might be able to get along better in the officialdom than him.

However, although they don't have enough people, fortunately, the stone slope is not very big.

It only took more than ten days to dig all the terraced fields, and it only took about 20 days to raise sweet potato seedlings.

Xie Qiping took Mrs. Ning to climb to the top every day, looking at the lush green sweet potato vines, the joy in his heart bloomed directly on his face.

It seems that this terraced field is the country he built.

For the remaining few days, Ning Pengpeng didn't let anyone idle, after all, after the terraced fields had been dug, they had to dig holes for all the soil!
At that time, it will be convenient for the cut sweet potato vines to be planted in time.

I learned that the sweet potatoes planted by Xie Qiping and Ning Pengpeng actually grew sweet potato vines so quickly.

The officials in Huangzhuang were stunned for a while, but they still didn't quite believe that the cut rattan can grow so many crops!

Therefore, he didn't take the news reported by his subordinates to heart.

It was already mid-April when Ning Pengpeng followed Xie Qiping from Mingzhou to the capital.

When she left the palace, she would dig terraced fields and plant sweet potatoes. By the time the sweet potato seedlings were ready, it was already May, and this sweet potato just happened to be planted.

Ning Pengpeng led people to cut off all the sweet potato vines, and then planted these sweet potato vines in the pits dug in loose soil one by one.

All that's left is to water and fertilize.

The water is from the river beside Huangzhuang, but Ning Pengpeng brought people to retting the fat.

Put human excrement, inedible rotten leaves, animal manure, weeds, straw, etc. into a pit, and then seal it with something, and wait for these things inside to ferment and rot naturally.

When making these things, Xie Qiping ran away holding his nose, how could he experience such a stench.

After doing all this, just wait for the day to pass.

After all, this sweet potato can't grow in a day, at least it takes about four months.

After Xie Futai left Mingzhou Mansion with Ning Pengpeng, Lai Xingchun, who originally wanted to attack the Ning family again, received a reply from the third prince of the capital.

During this period of time, Emperor Jinhe paid great attention to his sons, so Concubine Zhang repeatedly told her son to be obedient during this period and not to make any fools.

And the Ning family is just mud legs from the countryside, even if there is any way to make money, they are not in a hurry right now.

After all, no matter how much the Ning family earns, by then, won't all the money they earn be used to make wedding dresses for others?
Seeing this, Lai Xingchun stopped attacking the Ning family.

However, there are still some regrets in my heart.

After all, it was a rare opportunity for Xie Futai to return to Beijing to report on his work.

However, as long as the third prince gets that position, he will not have to be afraid of that old man Xie Qiping in the future!

Also at this time, Ning Lao San and Ning Lao Si came back with Liu Hu and Qing Niang.

They first unloaded their things in Anzhen, and then went back to Dahuaishu Village.

Then he hurried to the Ming Prefecture. After all, it was already June and he hadn't seen his own mother for half a year.

However, the carriage had only traveled halfway before someone stopped them.

"what happened?"

Ning Laosan's aura now is completely different from that of him back then.

He wasn't worried about someone robbing his fortune. After all, apart from Qingniang, the two of them had no trouble dealing with some petty thieves.

Not to mention, his current guard is a master of Qingfeng Guard.

"Back to the third master, he is the person next to the eldest son."

Hearing this, Ning Lao San, who was sitting in the carriage, pushed open the door of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.

Fourth Ning followed closely behind, and the eldest son mentioned by the guards naturally referred to Ning Yongye.

After all, he is the oldest in the younger generation.

Of course, the most important thing is that his identity is different.

The people who protect him are also the elites of Qingfeng Guards.

Logically, she would not leave his side easily.

Now that we meet here, something must have happened.
