"I guess so. Her father asked me to take good care of her."

Yuan Congqian interpreted Lin Tianshi's words and felt that this was what he meant.

He couldn't possibly have anticipated that the Duke of Wei would ask him to come here and tell Lao Ping to be careful of Yuan Congqian.

To prove his words, he added: "Come to think of it, the one who sent me away from the capital was Lin Tianshi's eldest son. He is really a talented person. Lin Tianshi is so lucky to have two talented people in his family."

When Lao Ping heard that Yuan Congqian also knew Lin Guangmei, she immediately laughed.

"That's great, don't worry, Village Chief. I have a good relationship with Old Lintou! He and I both learned thunder magic from the same Heavenly Master. I promise to give that girl Lin a house of the highest quality."

"Also in the core urban area?"

"Of course! She is a pretty girl from the capital, learning thunder magic. She doesn't need to come to work. It's enough for her to live upstairs and occasionally help Lao Lu to look after the experimental plot. She is really pleasing to look at. She is worthy of being the daughter that Lao Lintou loves the most."

"It does look pleasing." Yuan Congqian confirmed Lao Ping's statement.

"Speaking of which, Lao Ping, do you know that Master Lin has finally made it to the end and is now a Nine Ministers?"

"Ah? Is there such a thing? No, I must go to the capital to drink with him when I have time!......"

Lao Ping doesn't seem to have much understanding of the power of the Jiuqing.

He just cursed the old man for getting rich secretly without telling him, and then he stopped caring. Maybe in his opinion, Yuan Congqian was not surprised, so he was probably a less important official like Zongzheng.

Lao Ping and Lu Yingshi went to greet the villagers.

"Fellow villagers, we have observed the weather over the past few days and it is definitely not going to rain! We are not required to finish the autumn harvest before the Shennong Festival. Your health is important, so eat and drink!"

"Don't gather here. The one who came here is the village chief sent by the court to help us. He is here to teach us how to become rich! My words are useless. He said he would make you rich. If he fails to do so, you will come back and blame me!..."

They leaped into the light of the farmhouse.

Yuan Congqian picked up the big backpack he brought from the capital.

"Let's go, Miss Qiu, let's stay in the core city for a night first."

"Duke Wei was not thoughtful enough to choose this place for you! Even if there is an industrial platform and the help of the Ursus people, how can we properly deal with these farmers? How can we transform the village and build a city in one year?"

Looking at Dahuang Township, which only has one core piece of land, Qiu Fengshu couldn't help but speak up for Yuan Congqian.

Even if the civil engineer could directly control the city blocks, one person could provide the labor equivalent of hundreds of people. It would be extremely difficult to draw the scene described by Yuan Congqian in this area full of farmland.

"No hurry. A blank scroll makes it easier to paint. I'm still worried about intrigues with the wealthy families. Anyway, no one wants to come to the Great Wilderness. When I return to the capital, I will recommend Zuo Xuanliao to continue to be the mayor of the Great Wilderness. I won't worry about anyone changing the decision I made in the Great Wilderness this year."

Yuan Congqian held Qiu Fengshu's hand and walked towards the entrance to the core urban area.

The industrial platform can bring advanced production equipment, which requires farmers to take charge of production and requires them to have a certain literacy rate. Soon merchants will gather in Dahuang City, invest in land construction, and get rich.

But from Yuan Congqian's observation, although Dahuang City seemed to have abundant labor, it was actually in a relatively scarce state. Not only was it the autumn harvest, but also because of the backward agricultural production, it was completely unlike modern times.

"We have to entrust the Western Pharmacy to cooperate with the Ministry of Industry and Tianshi Mansion to develop two or three agricultural drones to free up the labor force in Dahuang from the fields. The construction team of the industrial plot also needs to ask Lao Ping to prepare a place to live."

As soon as Yuan Congqian thought about it briefly, he found that matters were coming in like a tide.

If it weren't for the fact that Terra's productivity was so much more developed than in his previous life, and Originium was not the fantasy energy that crushed his previous life, and there was an industrial platform on the way, he would have felt that he had come to Dahuang City to be a poverty alleviation cadre.

During this year in Dahuang City, he was afraid that he could not expect to live a leisurely life like in the capital, drinking and listening to music. He could only play with Qiu Fengshu and Lin Ruolong when he was bored on weekdays and experience retirement life in advance.

"Village head, there will be a temple fair for Shennong tomorrow, remember to come!"

Lao Ping ran over and stuffed a berry into Yuan Congqian's hand, "Just picked, so fresh!"

Yuan Congqian took the berries and smiled at Lao Ping, "I need you to do me a favor."

"If there's anything we can do, just tell us."

"How much Originium pollution will make crops unable to grow?"

This matter is very important to him.

Lao Ping answered without hesitation, "10%! I came back from studying in Victoria, and the people there are said to have already come up with an 8% soil improvement crop. Now the most advanced one must be 10%!"

"Then what is the survival rate of crops in a land with 60% Originium contamination?"

"It is definitely 0%. Even if it is 15%, there is no way any crops can survive. This is the number for all the affected areas. It is too common to see the scene where the soil is barren after being covered with black crystals or dust."

Lao Ping spoke slowly with hatred in his mouth.

The object of his hatred was obviously not Yuan Congqian, but natural disasters.

While the two were exchanging information, a prominent woman with long yellowish hair dyed with indigo stood up from the field and glanced at Yuan Congqian from afar. She was holding a basket of harvested rice, like a peasant woman.

Yuan Congqian's temperament was completely different from Dahuang's, and he did not attract her attention.

She quickly lowered her head and continued to swing the farm tools, following the villagers in harvesting the rice.

Listening to Lao Ping's answer, Yuan Congqian nodded.

"Help me spread a rumor. It would be best if everyone attending the Shennong Festival Fair knew about it. The rumor is that the head of Dahuang Township brought a crop that can grow on land with 60% Originium pollution, and it will be displayed as a gift at the Shennong Festival Fair."

Yuan Congqian stroked his chin, his eyes far away, looking across the distant mountains and gazing at the twin moons, "Remember, you must let everyone know, even if it is an impossible event. Also, help me prepare a pot of soil, preferably one with about 60% Originium contamination."

Chapter 125 Preparations for the Shennong Temple Fair

"Village head, are you kidding me?"

After hearing what Yuan Congqian said, Lao Ping laughed subconsciously.

"Are you planning to give the villagers a surprise at the Shennong Festival? I would say that this is unnecessary. It is really unnecessary. It is good to give the villagers something to look forward to, but 60% is too high. What if all the villagers come to plant?"

How could such a ridiculous thing actually happen?

60% Originium contamination represents the soil quality of most disaster-stricken areas.

The ability of a plant to grow in soil with medium to high levels of Originium contamination means that it has a strong ability to resist Originium interference in its development, and can even directly absorb Originium particles in the soil to purify the soil.

If there really is such a magical plant, regardless of whether it can directly turn the disaster-stricken areas into thousands of acres of fertile fields, at least there will be an important breakthrough in the suppression of mineral diseases. If that happens, Lao Ping will wake up laughing in his dreams, and all of Terra will remember that it first appeared at the Shennong Festival in Dahuang City.

"Jiedushi, I understand you, but this won't work. It's easy to deceive the villagers this time, but it will be difficult to make them trust us next time..."

After he laughed, he realized that Yuan Congqian was not joking.

So, Lao Ping couldn't laugh anymore.

He whispered about the origin of the Shennong Temple Fair: "Shennong was a wise man who came to Dahuang City to reclaim land. Shennong worked hard in the northern border, protected Dahuang City from natural disasters, and established the 24 solar terms. In order to thank her for her contribution, everyone held the Shennong Temple Fair after the autumn harvest to worship her..."

"I see. There are many people at the Shennong Festival. You will have to work hard tonight."

Yuan Congqian said calmly, "The Originium loudspeaker and notice board must be prepared in advance, and the person who will publicize the miraculous plants brought by the Great Wilderness Governor must also be commissioned in advance. Make sure everyone has heard about it."

Lao Ping bowed.

"Village head, this is an unreasonable order. Please reconsider it. The villagers have been busy for a whole year just to have some fun at the Shennong Festival to celebrate the harvest. I understand that you also want to have fun with the villagers, but this..."

Yuan Congqian had no intention of listening to him at all.

Not only did he not restrain himself, but he issued more detailed orders.

"Just go ahead and do it. You have nothing to do with the responsibility. In addition, I will add a session to the Shennong Festival. I will personally show the villagers the crop that grew from the soil with 60% Originium contamination."

Even in the ancient times of Yan State, when the princes were tricked by burning beacons, it was only after the princes arrived that they said that the enemy of Tikaz had not come. What's the point of exposing himself that he was deceiving the folks in such a short time?

Just for your own amusement, want to experience the feeling of teasing the peasants?

"In that case." Lao Ping took a deep breath, "Please allow me to resign, mayor."

He really didn't want to deceive these honest farmers.

Even he sometimes did similar things, deceiving the villagers that the crops selected for 8% of the soil this year were chosen from the seedlings they submitted, and he was successful.

He knew that this gave him hope, but 60% was really too much.

If the expectations are too high and there is no result year after year, the villagers will realize that they have been deceived, and the Dahuang government will fall into the same dilemma as Tacitus. Once they lose trust in the government, it will take many years to make up for it.

The most terrifying thing is that no matter what you do, your fellow villagers will think that you are continuing to deceive them.

But the in-laws in front of him obviously did not appreciate Lao Ping's kindness.

Yuan Congqian glanced at him and said, "Has Dahuang already disobeyed the imperial court to this extent? Even the publicity of the imperial court's policies and the orders of the governor of Dahuang cannot be implemented in Dahuang City. Otherwise, the officials and the Heavenly Master will resign to force them to do so?"

Yuan Congqian's plain words gave Lao Ping a chill.

The other party's gentle attitude almost made him forget that this was the living devil from the capital.

This is a hat that cannot be accepted. If it is accepted, countless people in Dahuang City will die.

Lao Ping pursed her lips, clenched her hands behind her back, and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he bowed respectfully and saluted Yuan Congqian:

"The crop germplasm bank has soil samples with 60% Origin Stone contamination. The governor can take them. Lu Yingshi and I will follow the governor's instructions one by one. The governor can come to show it to the people of the Great Wilderness at noon tomorrow."

Between the short-term bloodshed and the long-term government dishonesty, he chose the long-term government dishonesty. At least the prize was drawn that afternoon, so that the villagers would be disappointed in the governor, not in the wilderness. He could make up for it by himself.

.......

The core urban area of ​​Dahuang City, crop germplasm bank.

The design tone here is a modern functional style dominated by pure white and lush green. The white metal walls and floors complement the lush green plants, decorations and lights, creating a tranquil and refreshing atmosphere, giving it a sense of Rhine life.

Yuan Congqian took a pot of soil marked "600‰" and selected from the germplasm bank for a long time. Finally, he chose a berry seed from the Rosaceae family and put it into the soil, and then put it into a box shaped like a Kongming lock.

The box is made of several metal blocks of different shapes that fit together to form a solid and stable structure that requires multiple unlockings before it can be opened. Most importantly, the box can ensure complete darkness inside.

"Aren't you curious about why I gave such a ridiculous order?"

The Kongming lock with the Originium circuit engraved on it floated into Yuan Congqian's hands.

As he turned his palms over, the Kongming lock also rotated in the air, as if it was an extension of his fingers.

Qiu Fengshu said softly, "I naturally have doubts in my heart, but I believe that you will solve them for me. If you can really let them see a miraculous plant that can grow at 60% pollution, the Great Wilderness will no longer be a problem for you."

Yuan Congqian held Qiu Fengshu's hand and said with a smile, "You don't even know if I can take it out, but you're already helping me think about what to do after I take it out? You're more confident than I am."

"Among the people of the Great Wilderness, some are wary of you, some are on guard against you, and some ignore you."

Qiu Fengshu answered seriously, "My lord is not someone who can tolerate such attitudes. If I want Dahuang to complete the initial plan in my lord's mind within a year, the art of war says that those who have the same desire will win."

"Yes, you are right. Chen's master said that when an official takes office and governs a place, the first thing he has to do is to make the people above and below work together and convince the officials. Some officials will kill people to intimidate others, and some officials will use benefits to make connections. I think these are too tiring and troublesome..."

"You, you, you, why are you here?!"

A familiar voice interrupted the conversation between Yuan Congqian and Qiu Fengshu.

The unicorn-horned girl, wearing a preparatory Heavenly Master uniform, looked at Yuan Congqian and Qiu Fengshu as if she had seen a ghost. She was holding a simple staff and thunder magic textbook in her hands, and it was obvious that she had just finished her self-study.

"Lady Lin......."

"What Lady Lin?"

Yuan Congqian was about to say something to Lin Ruolong when she pulled up her hood, turned around and ran away.

"No, I'm not ready yet, it doesn't count this time!"

Chapter 126: Planting a Grain of Green for Me in the Thousand Years

Lin Ruolong just ran away like that.

She was probably still thinking about the words she said to Yuan Congqian when she said goodbye:

"I remember that you still owe me something this time! If you don't want to give it to me, I will come to you next time and ask you for it, so that you will have no choice but to submit to me!"

Yuan Congqian originally thought that he would have to submit to her this time, but Lin Ruolong actually said that this time it didn't count.

A famous NBA star once said, humph, you want to escape?

The core urban area is so small, where can she hide?

Walking out of the Crop Germplasm Bank, the sky had completely darkened, and a faint arc of light was glittering in the distance of the horizon. Looking out at the Great Desert City from the tall core plot, the warm-toned lights gathered like an ocean, and the farmers were still rushing to harvest in the fields.

There is a tradition in the Shennong Temple Fair that every farmer must bring a few seeds, regardless of variety.

If the grain pile was high, Shennong would be able to see the way back, and bless the Great Desert City with good weather and abundant crops in the coming year, and the Yan Kingdom with abundant food. Then, he would brew a jar of grain wine with the grain pile, and everyone would have a share.

"By this time next year, there will be an industrial platform there that will haunt the people of Ursus."

Yuan Congqian pointed to the empty space in the distance and said, "The Ursus and Rem Bito people would call the Great Wilderness the pearl in the crown of the Oriental Lady. Because its agriculture and industry are shining, it can feed all the people of Da Yan."

Qiu Fengshu covered his mouth and said with a smile: "My dear, it's too early for you to say this."

Now, even the Ursus industrial platform construction team has not arrived yet.

When you arrive at the entrance of the crop germplasm bank, the glass door automatically retracts to both sides.

The core urban area was very small, and the crop germplasm bank was in the center of the city. Mobile city standard roads spread out from it, connecting the houses, and stopped abruptly in mid-air, cut off by the night, and there was not even a wall.
