0427: The Emperor Is Not A Good Person.
Qiao Ji drank the white wine in the glass, got up and said, "Let's go out and inspect.
He planned to go to the surrounding area of Hailan City to see the conditions of the fields and villages, and spring would be here soon.
Spring plowing will start after the snow melts, so you can't just buy grain from Marquis Powell all the time, can you?
Although the price given by the Marquis of Powell is lower than the market price, a large purchase is also a big expense.
And this feeling of being controlled by others is very uncomfortable. Qiao Ji still likes to be self-sufficient, so that she will not be controlled by others in the future.
After all, even if the other party sells food, there may be a day when they don't.
"Yes." Everyone responded excitedly.
When you come to a strange place, you are always curious.
A group of people left the reception hall.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Qiao Ji and the others got into the carriage and left Hailan City.
To the east of Hailan City is the Beigang River and the port, and the left and right sides of the city are also surrounded by wooden houses, forming the gathering place outside the city of Hailan City.
The west of Hailan City is full of farmland and forests.
After more than an hour.
Qiao Ji left the city from the west gate of Hailan City, passing a large area of wooden houses and thatched houses.
They stopped in an open area, and everyone stepped out of the carriage.
This time, there is also a local hunter who is very familiar with the surroundings of Hailan City.
"My lord, the road here is really difficult." Lei Nai reached out and rubbed his buttocks.
The bumpy road is a pain in the ass.
"It was not planned at the beginning."
With one hand behind her back, Qiao Ji looked at the snow-covered fields and said, "At least the fields are all gathered together."
"It would be nice if the road was better, even if it's far away, I won't suffer so much." Lian Xin was also uncomfortable sitting on the road.
Qiao Ji turned his head to look at Hailan City, and said softly, "It really needs to be rectified, especially the road construction`
He also didn't like the muddy road out of the city. If the driver hadn't been experienced, he might have overturned on the way.
After the cement workshop is opened, the roads can be refurbished first, and the houses outside the city will also be planned in the future. Qiao Ji thought to herself, to get rich first, build roads first.
He planned to operate in accordance with the real estate industry on the other side of the earth, directly tearing down the wooden house and rebuilding it into a two-story cement house.
As long as you give the original tenant a suite, the rest will be your own, and you can rent it out, sell it, etc. at that time.
This is another big income, and it makes his territory cleaner.
"My lord, do you want to plant wheat in such a large farmland?" Lei Nai kept looking into the distance with his toes on his mind.
The farmlands in Hailan City still occupy a large area, and they can't be seen at a glance, and they are all covered by thick snow.
However, the farmlands in Hailan City are not all plains, but some are rugged hills with different heights.
Qiao Ji observed the conditions of the farmland while walking, shook his head and said, "No, we also need to plant some storable grain."
He looked up and frowned, feeling that the terrain was too high, much worse than he imagined.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Qiao Ji continued to walk to the deep part of the farmland, followed by Lei Nai, Lian Xin and others. The thick snow made it difficult for everyone to walk.
"What is the lord looking at?" Lian Xin saw the serious expression on Qiao Ji's face.
"I sort of understand why the grain output in the fields here is less." Qiao Ji smiled bitterly.
"My lord, is it because this place is too remote?" Lei Nai didn't know anything about agriculture.
"No, the terrain here is too high. Extending from where we are standing to Beigang River, the position of the field is getting lower and lower."
Pointing to the location of the Beigang River, Qiao Ji continued, "It is difficult to guide the water from the river to the high-lying places in low-lying places.
"I see." Lei Nai blinked his black eyes thoughtfully.
"Although the places with too high terrain are suitable for the development of animal husbandry, they still need water."
Qiao Ji frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "The first thing we need to solve is the water problem.
He is also very helpless, but this is the case with most of the lands that the nobles have entrusted.
"My lord, what should I do?" Lian Xin asked, brushing the orange hair by her ear.
It was also the first time for Hu Erniang to hear about it. She didn't expect that food can be grown in any place, and she immediately benefited a lot.
"The first step is to solve the problem of water source, and the second step is to plan the topography." Qiao Ji explained.
He has already made arrangements, intending to use part of the high ground to plant fruit trees and the like, and then raise some chickens, ducks and geese in the fruit forest.
"Although the Beigang River is not far away, it is really troublesome to fetch water from the river to irrigate the grain.
Lian looked at the Beigang River in the distance, and sighed, "It would be great if there was a treasure that could send the water from the river. "
"There are two ways. One is to build a large waterwheel to divert the water from the Beigang River to the fields."
Qiao Ji stroked his chin with knuckle fingers, and continued, "The second way is to change the water source.
"Large waterwheel? Master, what is that?" Lei Nai looked puzzled.
"You'll know when it's made, and it might be able to generate hydroelectric power in the future." Qiao Ji said softly.
"Oh." Lei Nai nodded half understanding.
Qiao Ji looked sideways at the hunter who was standing not far away, pointed to a high place, and asked, "Are there any streams and lakes further up?"
"Go back to Lord Marquis, I don't know if I go further up, but there is no big water source within twenty miles except the Beigang River." The hunter said respectfully.
Qiao Ji squinted slightly with his different-colored pupils and thought (good) about it, then turned his head and said, "Lian Xin, arrange for someone to bring some local people as guides later, because the map of the surrounding area of Hailan City will be published.
"Yes." Lian Xin responded immediately.
Qiao Ji added, "The same goes for other cities, small towns and villages in the territory."
If you want to plan, plan it all together.
He knew that the problem of low food production was not limited to Hailan City, the whole Beigang was so desolate, which meant that there were similar problems in other parts of the territory.
"Understood." Lian Xin replied again.
"A lot of waste is waiting to be done." Qiao Ji walked on the farmland.
"The emperor is really not a good person, the credit for the lord's hard work, unexpectedly..." Lei Nai gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.
"Don't say anything." Lian Xin raised her hand and grabbed the black cat girl's slender waist, and glanced at Hunter's Claw a few meters away.
