Chapter 363 Going to the provincial capital with the second brother

The former was Wei Ruo's first suggestion to Mrs. Yuan, asking the Taizhou government to replant late rice seeds and sweet potatoes to protect the existing agricultural production this year; the latter was a wasteland reclamation activity personally led by Wei Ruo to expand the farmland for resettling the victims.

Now both have made good progress, and everyone in Taizhou sees hope.

Madam Yuan couldnt help but sigh with emotion: "Ruoer, these are all thanks to you. If there is a bumper harvest in Taizhou Prefecture this year, you will be the lifesaver of countless farmers and disaster victims in Taizhou Prefecture!"

Wei Ruodao: "Thank you Madam for your compliment, but let's talk about it later. We will celebrate happily when the food is in the warehouse."

With the situation still undecided, Wei Ruo dare not be too happy too soon.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this first." Madam Yuan hurriedly said, she couldn't help talking to Wei Ruo because she was happy, but she was really afraid that something might happen at the last minute.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Yuan asked Wei Ruo: "By the way, Ruo'er, I heard from Mother Qin that you want to block the river and build a dam? Did you draw the relevant drawings?"

"Well, I do have this idea. The annual precipitation in Taizhou is not a lot, but it is not uniform. There is plenty of rain in the rainy season, but there will be a period of dry weather after summer, which is very unfavorable for the growth of rice. This summer is fine. , if it catches up with the situation of the previous two years, even if more wasteland is reclaimed, the grain will not grow well without water." Wei Ruo explained.

"Yes, that's the truth. It's just that building a reservoir is nothing more than anything else." Mrs. Yuan felt that what Wei Ruo said was very reasonable.

Wei Ruo knew what Mrs. Yuan meant: "Building a reservoir not only requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but also takes a very long time. Even if a small reservoir is dug, it will take at least three to five years. If a large reservoir is built , it will be possible to complete it in ten or twenty years."

"That's right, this is the biggest problem with the construction of the reservoir. Although the achievements in the present age will benefit the future, in the few years of construction, there is no doubt that it will be a waste of money and people." Mrs. Yuan said.

Wei Ruo analyzed: "If this is the case this year, it is really not suitable. We don't have more food to feed people and build reservoirs; but if there are enough granaries and the flood victims keep pouring in, I think it is better to arrange the construction of reservoirs. The project can be regarded as a good way to resettle the disaster victims and stabilize the hearts of the people."

"Ruo'er makes sense." Mrs. Yuan agreed with this statement.

Wei Ruo continued to analyze: "Opening up wasteland is indeed a relatively direct way to solve the food problem, but there are also some risks. Relying on increasing the cultivated area, increasing soil fertility, and the excellent nature of crop varieties, the ability to resist natural disasters is still too weak. More Only by increasing the fault tolerance rate in a dimension can we better guarantee the grain output.

"If that's the case, in Ruo'er's view, do you still plan to put the construction of the reservoir on the agenda?" Madam Yuan asked.

"If this year's grain harvest is bumper and the granary is full, and the number of disaster victims in other areas is still increasing and pouring into Taizhou Prefecture, it is a good way to arrange for the extra disaster victims to build a reservoir." Wei Ruo explained.

Madam Yuan thought about it seriously and said: "I see, we will discuss this matter at the end of this year according to the situation in all aspects."

Then Mrs. Yuan shook Wei Ruo's hand and said, "This child is a lucky one. Your father is expected to be promoted to another level this time, and the fortune of your Wei family will also get better and better."

Wei Ruo smiled, it's hard to answer, it's hard to say whether her father's promotion is a good thing or a bad thing for her.

Stayed in Yuan Mansion until the evening, solved the problems accumulated during this period one by one, and also arranged for everyone to open up wasteland for the next period of time.

After the end, Wei Ruo returned to Xiaowei's Mansion, preparing for the departure to the provincial capital tomorrow.

Wei Ruo planned to go to the provincial capital under the pretext of delivering supplies to Wei Yichen, but he actually went there to find a new shop.

Tomorrow, Wei Jinyi and Xiaobei will also be traveling together. When Wei Jinyi said that he would go with him, Wei Ruo readily agreed.

In this way, Wei Ruo has more reasons to go out, and his safety is more guaranteed.

Yun didn't ask much about Wei Ruo going to the provincial capital with Wei Jinyi.

Recently, she has been physically and mentally exhausted. What happened one after another made her exhausted and sick.

How about the eldest daughter and the bastard, she really doesn't want to ask more questions now, and she can't manage it well anyway.

But before going out the next morning, Wei Ruo followed the rules and said goodbye to Yun.

Mr. Yun just got up, leaned on the couch and said: "If your elder brother is missing anything, you can make up for him first, and I will make up for you when the mansion is free."

Although the Yun family doesn't know when the mansion will be able to afford it.

"Understood." Wei Ruo didn't say anything, after all, it's a promise, and whether to follow through is another matter.

Then Wei Ruo set off with Wei Jinyi and others.

Wei Ruo and Xiumei ride in a carriage, Xiaobei drives ahead, and Wei Jin also rides a horse.

After leaving the city gate, Wei Jin also changed his appearance and became "Wang Jin".

Wei Ruo changed her appearance because she was a woman, and she didn't want her family to know what she was doing outside, and Wei Jin was also a man, so it stands to reason that he didn't have so many restraints like Wei Ruo, but he didn't want others to recognize her, just like Wei Ruo. come out with him.

Although Wei Ruo was puzzled about this, he didn't pursue it.

She just needs to know that her second brother is trustworthy.

The roads from Fucheng to the provincial capital are official roads, which are relatively easy to travel. It can be reached in one day if you rush on the road, and it takes two days for ordinary travelers to arrive by horse-drawn carriage.

But Wei Ruo was not in a hurry on this trip. The four of them stopped and stopped along the way, and when they encountered beautiful mountains, rivers and beautiful scenery, they stopped to enjoy it.

Sometimes they will pick mushrooms and wild vegetables, fish and catch shrimps and crabs, and rest at night is also random, and they will not rush to the inn to stay.

In the first night, the four of them slept in the field not far from the official road.

In today's weather, you don't have to worry about catching a cold when you sleep outdoors, let alone Wei Ruo took out a tent from the carriage.

Mosquitoes are more troublesome this season, but this problem is no longer a problem when it comes to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo prepared ointments and incense that can repel mosquitoes, ensuring that snakes, rats, insects and ants will not get close to them.

Wei Ruo set up a pot, cooked mushroom broth, and several people had a delicious meal under the stars.

Then Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also sat on the grass and chatted for half the night before returning to rest in the carriage and tent respectively.

The rhythm of the next few days was similar, and the four of them seemed to be traveling instead of rushing.

So when Wei Ruo and others arrived at Lin'an Mansion, it was already dusk on the fourth day.

Because he had already been with Yun's last time, Wei Ruo found an inn to stay in.
