"No... no, they recovered, those ducks recovered." Yuan Mo still had the smell of ducks on her body. She went to see the condition of the ducks early in the morning, so the smell on her body was picked up.

"Let's go and have a look." Li Luo ran out barefoot in his underwear.

"Young Master, be careful not to fall." Yuan Mo was startled.It is a good thing for the young master to be stable, but no matter how stable the young master is, he is also a child who cannot walk very steadily.

No, Li Luo walked too fast and really tripped. "Be careful." Li Changcheng happened to be walking this way. He was disturbed by Yuan Mo's voice. Seeing this scene, he hurried over to hug Li Luo.His heart was pounding, if the young master fell down, his father would skin him.

Yuan Mo blushed: "It's my servant's fault, my servant got carried away with complacency, and almost hurt the little duke, my servant knows my mistake." Yuan Mo hurriedly knelt down.

"Get up." Li Luo sighed, "Girls are so weak, how can they just kneel when they say so, and they will stand up and answer no matter what happens in the future."

"Master Hou?" Yuan Mo's eyes turned red.

"Come on, let's go and see the surviving poultry."

"Even if Lord Hou is in a hurry, he still has to wear a pair of shoes and a coat." Ping An's voice came, and she saw Li Luo running out barefoot with only one coat on, and hurried back to the room to get his shoes and clothes .

"Sister Ping'an is becoming more and more like a housekeeper." Li Luo giggled.

Ping An blushed, even the thick-skinned girl couldn't help but feel embarrassed to be molested by Li Luo.She put on clothes for Li Luo first. The clothes were black. Li Luo was busy with poultry these days, and clothes of other colors would get dirty easily.Then he knelt down on one knee, took out a handkerchief and wiped Li Luo's feet first, and then put on his shoes.

Li Luo stretched out his hand and lifted Ping'an's jaw with an extremely coquettish movement: "How about Sister Ping'an being my housekeeper?"

"You little..." Pingan really wanted to scold the little bastard, but he didn't dare to scold him because of his status.It's just that his face was reddened by Li Luo's words.

Li Luo chuckled.

A group of people came to the poultry. Although the remaining two poultry were not alive and kicking, they were indeed much better. They were no longer as lifeless as before and kept vomiting.In other words, Li Luo's suspicion was right.It's just that poultry are different from people. Because poultry only ate a little bit of Gu Junchen's blood, they are not serious, but at the same time, they are too fragile.But Gu Junchen is different, blood lead poisoning has already flowed through his blood, and all the lead in his blood should be discharged.

The success of the experiment means that Li Luo will leave Zhuangzi, and he has lived in Zhuangzi for almost ten days.

"Fu Qiang, I'm going back to the Marquis Mansion. I'll leave this village to you for the time being. I'll send a steward over in a few days." Li Luo had a good impression of this honest and shrewd Fu Qiang.Is a sense of proportion.

"Everything is according to the order of Lord Hou."

"Do you know any farmer? He is more expert in planting fruit trees." Li Luo asked.

Fu Qiang thought for a while: "There is an uncle in our village who is very knowledgeable about planting. It seems that there were some imperial officials in charge of planting in our ancestors."

"Sinong." Li Luo said.Sinong's official position in this dynasty is not high, and he is a sixth rank.The imperial court didn't pay much attention to this official, and he didn't need to take the imperial examination to serve as a farmer.In this dynasty, Si Nong was under the management of the Ministry of Industry, and the selection of Si Nong only required theoretical knowledge.After the Ministry of Industry releases the news, those who are interested can come to take the exam.

Because of this, the position of Sinong is often looked down upon by people, which is tantamount to decoration.Over time, Sinong is like a farmer in the hearts of everyone.Farmers are even lower than merchants.

When Li Luo bought Zhuangzi and good land, he originally wanted to grow something for a taste of good food. How can he say that in ancient times, even a modern person can't live worse than modern times? "Take me to get acquainted." Therefore, Li Luo was very interested when he heard that there were descendants of Si Nong.

It took Li Luo a quarter of an hour (half an hour) to travel by carriage from Zhuangzi to the Fujia Village where Fu Qiang lived.It was the time for poor people to work in the morning, so after they entered the village, they didn't see many people.

"This is it." Fu Qiang led them to a bungalow.

Li Luo got off the carriage.

"Is Auntie there?" Fu Qiang called out loudly when he saw the door of the yard was open.

After a while, I saw a woman running out from the back of the house, her body was still a little wet, wearing an apron, she seemed to be busy just now. "Fu Qiang, why are you here?"

Fu Qiang smiled and said, "Auntie, is uncle there? Our master has something to ask him and wants to ask him about planting things."

"Your uncle is busy. The early batch of rice is ripe, and the wages are 300 copper coins a day." The aunt said, "Your brother is also gone. Your sister-in-law is pregnant. I want to take care of her."

The father and son earn 600 copper coins a day, and they can work for about 5 days. Earning three taels of silver is already a large sum.Their family has no land, so they live by doing odd jobs.

"Auntie, sister-in-law, we will take care of you. Please take Fu Qiang to see Uncle. I am short of someone who knows how to grow farms. If Uncle is suitable, I will pay you one tael a month and ten catties of rice. There are also two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes." Li Luo said.

In fact, the aunt had seen Li Luo a long time ago. She had never seen such a precious little boy.It's just that she is humble and dare not look or speak.Hearing what the little boy said now, he looked more curiously.

"Auntie, this is my master, the master of Zhuangzi here." Fu Qiang said.

The aunt doesn't know how big the idea of ​​the little boy from a rich family is, but today I have seen it.The monthly salary also makes her very excited. If it is settled, it will be better than doing odd jobs like this.And the money for clothes and shoes is also saved, and there is still rice to take. "Young master, don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else about my man, but he has a first-class understanding of crop cultivation."

"Then thank you, auntie."

"Then I'll tell my wife." The aunt said.In fact, they were talking outside, and the daughter-in-law had already heard them inside. Not to mention the aunt's heart, the daughter-in-law felt good too.If the father-in-law does well, he can bring his own husband.Hearing what the mother-in-law said, the daughter-in-law came out with a plate, and there was a cup of tea on the plate, "Mother-in-law, you go, I will entertain the guests."

The daughter-in-law has a six-month-old belly, and the fetal position is stable.Walking was not at all inconvenient because of her big belly, she came to Li Luo and said, "Please have a cup of tea, young master."

Li Changcheng took it: "Sister Xie." Then he handed it to Li Luo.

Li Luo drank a few sips, the tea tasted sweet, much better than boiled water: "Is it Shanshui?"

"The young master is really amazing. We have a temple near here, and there is a mountain pool beside the temple. People in our village like to go there to fetch water for drinking." The daughter-in-law introduced.

Fu Qiang echoed: "The mountain temple and water pool have a history of a hundred years."

Li Luo nodded: "You and auntie go in a carriage, it will save some time to go back and forth, so that auntie won't worry about this sister-in-law."

"Yes." Fu Qiang felt that the young master was really careful in doing things.

After Fu Qiang and his aunt left, Li Luo wandered here casually.The house is not big, but the yard is neatly organized.Li Luo walked to the back of the house and saw a grape rack with a few bunches of grapes hanging on it.And there is a well under the grape arbor, and there are clothes beside it. The old lady was washing half of the clothes just now.

Li Luo looked away again, his eyes stopped when he saw that thing, and he couldn't move away.He even ran over excitedly, it was cotton.God, he didn't expect to see cotton here.

There was no cotton in this era, and kapok, also known as red cotton, was used to fill the quilt.In modern times, the kapok used is white cotton.It's just that modern people habitually call it cotton, while red cotton is called kapok.

Kapok is different from white cotton, not only in color, whether it is a tree or cotton, it is different. Kapok is flower-shaped.There is no cotton in ancient fabrics, because kapok cannot be woven into cotton cloth, but white cotton can.Kapok can only be used as a filling for pillows and bedding, but white cotton has many uses.

And white cotton is warmer than kapok.

If there were white cotton in ancient times, there would not be so many soldiers in the frontier frozen to death.Li Luo's mood was very surging. It was a feeling he couldn't explain clearly, as if he felt that he had an inherent responsibility to do something for the soldiers on the frontier.

"This white cluster flower was transplanted by my father-in-law from the mountain." The daughter-in-law explained, "There are no beautiful flowers in the yard of our poor family, so my father-in-law transplanted this from the mountain."

"Baituan Huaer?" Li Luo said.

"Actually, I don't know the name of this flower, but the white balls are like flour, so let's call it Baituanhuaer." The daughter-in-law said.

If there was no matter of cotton, Li Luo would not be obsessed with this descendant of Si Nong. Now that there is the matter of cotton, Li Luo's thinking is different.If there is cotton in this era, then the value and practicality after planting is very high, which is more useful than those that are eaten.

Moreover, the cotton was transplanted, so if he wanted to plant it, Li Luo didn't worry about whether he could grow it alive.Because cotton can live when it is transplanted to this farmer's family, it can also live when it is planted in other places.

The sound of the carriage moved from far to near. It was Fu Qiang and the others who had returned.

Sure enough, that uncle came with Fu Qiang.

"Master Hou, Uncle Fu is here." Fu Qiang said, everyone in Fu Village has the surname Fu.

Uncle Fu has a very strong physique, but because he is working, he is a little sloppy.There are a few strands of white hair on the temples, and his face is a little old, but he is still a good-spirited uncle.

"I've seen Lord Hou." Uncle Fu stepped forward to salute.When he came, he had already asked Fu Qiang about the identity of this young master, Lord Hou, he is too noble.
