Speaking of which, the original document from governor Hao was really checked by the emperor himself.

His Majesty the Emperor has paid more attention to the development of Lishi County in the past two years. He has already explained it early. Any documents from Lishi are submitted, and everyone is allowed to check them out for him personally.

This time when the document from governor Hao was submitted, he was busy planning the canning workshop in Chengzhou.

Also, because the Eucommia ulmoides in the Qinling area were about to come down, several ministers in the court were also arguing endlessly. Some people think that grassroots troops should be equipped with rubber-soled leather boots first, because they are always ready to go to war.

Some people also think that the officers, soldiers, generals and all civil servants in Chang'an City should be given a pair of them first, not many at the same time. Chang'an City is related to the face of the entire country, and foreign ambassadors often come to see each other. Don't let them underestimate the Tang Dynasty.

At this busy and chaotic time, His Majesty the Emperor read the document from Governor Hao, and thought to himself, let’s put this matter aside for a moment. After the taxes were collected across the country, Hao Jianping came to Chang'an City to report his duties, he would ask him carefully.

As a result, he was busy. Later, he forgot about this matter. When Hao Jianping went to Beijing to file a lawsuit, he met him quickly. This was already a gift to them. Last winter, so many officials came to Beijing to report their duties, and few people met the emperor in total.

"Ahem, the governor Hao has implemented the method of irrigation in Shizhou for several months. He has worked hard and benefited the people. It is a model for local officials of the Tang Dynasty..." The emperor did not mention any documents or documents at this time, but just put a high hat on Hao Jianping.

"How can such a good minister be deceived in the name of greed for merit?" Another person in the court immediately stood up and spoke.

"Making meritorious deeds is to be greedy for merit. It seems that the court will be left to those who have no meritorious deeds in the future." The official was quite old, but he was very angry.

"Who are you talking about the powerless person?" Someone jumped in the camp over there.

"I'm naturally the one who is incompetent." The old man had been in the officialdom for decades, how could he be choked by these two sentences?

Once the court quarrels, it will be very lively. His Majesty the Emperor leaned on his wooden couch and ignored it. Let's watch the show.

When the people of these people were almost quarreling, the emperor asked several ministers for their opinions, and then pointed out the names of several people in the court, asking them to learn the method of irrigation with Hao Jianping, and the study location was at the foot of the west mountain outside Chang'an City.

This method of irrigation does have many advantages over rolling over, but it also has a limitation, that is, it must be used in places where there is a drop or rapid water flow. In plain areas, there are large rivers and large ponds, and the water flow is very slow and the terrain is very flat. This irrigation will have no use when it reaches such a place.

So everyone thinks that this truck irrigation method is most suitable for promoting it in mountainous slopes, and it is enough to continue to use overturning in plain areas.

In addition, in Chang'an City, the production of threshing machines was put on the agenda at this time.

In the past few months, not only did the craftsmen in Lishi County learn from Chang'an craftsmen, but these craftsmen in Chang'an also learned the craftsmen of making threshing machines. After staying there for a few months before coming back, their skills were already very proficient at this time.

The threshing machines built in Chang'an City are not sold for money, but are transported to all counties across the country to show off their local craftsmen, and then they are asked local officials to promote this item locally.

In addition, the big families in Chang'an City are also quite envious of this threshing machine. Last year, when Hao Jianping went to Beijing to offer a threshing machine, he was so troubled by those people that the promotion of this threshing machine was delayed. This delay has been delayed until now. Everyone hopes that their manor can use this thing when harvesting this summer.

With this threshing machine and the irrigation method, coupled with the previous soil burning method, with the promotion of these advanced technologies and agricultural tools, even some relatively dry and barren lands should not worry about not being able to plant crops.

Some people said before that Nara Sanro was a monster, and what kind of monster would do such a good deed to benefit sentient beings? I heard that Nara Sanro has also collected seeds everywhere in the past two years, and it is unknown that he will find the Seventh Valley and the Eighth Valley in the future.

Half a month later, here in Xipo Village...

"Sanlang, what do these plants look like? I look a little like beans." On this day, the Yao family's old man came down from the slope with a hoe and saw a few plants more than half a foot tall growing in the field in front of the Luo family. At first glance, he thought they were beans. After looking closely, he found that they were still different things.

"What? Beans?" A few passers-by at the bottom of the slope. When they heard this, they hurriedly came over to watch the fun. They joked that Luo Sanlang could not plant the Seventh Valley, could it be...

"I don't know what they are, but that seed doesn't look like beans." Luo Yong also came out of the yard at this time.

"Maybe what kind of melon is it?" someone speculated.

"It's not like melons." Most melons are crawling vines, like the common gua gourds and winter melons here, there is no such thing as a pole.

A few days later, Xu Erlang and others also came back from outside, which was slightly earlier than expected, because in the Taihang Mountains, many villagers came out of the mountain to get the threshing machine by themselves, which saved Xu Erlang and others a lot of effort.

Speaking of the plants in front of the Luo family yard, none of them knew Xu Erlang and others. Some guessed it was vegetables, some guessed it was wild grass, and some secretly expected that this thing would grow into the seventh valley in the future, although everyone knew that the hope was very slim.

Time passed day by day, and the field in front of the Luo family yard was also the same day. Some plants died, some were identified as weeds, and they were pulled out. Some were not sure what it was, so they were left in this piece of land and kept growing.

In May, the plants before bloomed with small flowers, attracting some wild bees on the slope to fly over to collect honey.

After a while, the flowers faded and gradually, some small fruits grew. When the villagers looked at them, they felt a little disappointed: "It looks like wild fruits on the mountain, which cannot be eaten. This type of wild fruit is usually very astringent."

"Or what if you pick one?" someone asked Luo Sanlang.

"Let's just wait until it's cooked." Luo Yong stopped eating this thing raw in vain.

"I'll try it for you." Someone volunteered and reached out and pulled the largest fruit from a plant, about the size of a little finger, down. He didn't wash it, rubbed it with his fingers and threw it into his mouth.

"..." Everyone looked at him with a smile and tasted the fruit.

"..." Luo Yong also looked at it with a smile.

"Ao!!!" The man had just bitten twice, and then opened his mouth and howled.

"What's wrong?" The villagers asked one after another, and an old man was muttering: "If you can't eat, spit it out quickly. Why are you still holding it in your mouth? I don't know if it's poisonous."

Luo Yong was thrusting in his stomach. Eat chili raw, this is. Although the spicyness of tender chili is not that high, it is a chili pepper.

"Oh...my mouth...ha...ha..." The man was still wailing with his tongue.

"What's the smell? But it's so astringent?" Everyone was very curious. He didn't look like he was in trouble, and they all calmed down.

"The fire is burning and hiss..." That guy ate chili for the first time in his lifetime, and he was afraid that he would not be able to recover for a while.

"Isn't it astringent?" Everyone's general impression of wild fruit is astringent.

"It's not astringent, it's sour!" said the man.

"What's wrong with your body?" After all this tossing, the villagers' expectation for the Seventh Valley had been blown away by the rain and wind.

"No." Apart from the hot sweat that had just come out, there was no other discomfort. The spicy energy on the mouth also passed a little, not as unbearable as before.

The villagers were disappointed, but Luo Yong was very happy. How could he have no peppers in his life?

After the villagers' tastings before, everyone at least knew that this thing should be non-toxic. Sanlang would let him plant it. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, some children still have the same mind.

When the peppers grew almost the same, Luo picked a handful of them in a serious way and took them to the Xu family's hotel to cook.

There was no way, their family didn't have an iron pot. They bought the iron pot for Tian Chonghu to fry stinky tofu, but later he used it to build a threshing machine.

His master wanted to borrow an iron pot to use it. The Xu family had something to say, so he quickly gave him the stove.

Luo Yong took some onion, ginger and garlic from them, put them in a pan, stir-fry them to make the aroma, then put the pork in and stir-fry them, then add chili, stir-fry them for a few times, and the taste immediately became different. Luo Yong was standing next to the pan and sucked while cooking. He hadn't eaten spicy food seriously for several years!

Outside the hall...

"Ahem! What exactly is Luo Sanlang doing inside?"

"Hey, I'll go outside for some breath."

"Ahem!"
Chapter completed!
