Qin Liao was stunned.

This was also the first time he heard such remarks.

To be honest, craftsmen have a very low status in Daqian. They are just a craft that supports the family.

But in Qin Mo's words, leaving him alone would be like leaving him and the world would suffer heavy losses.

But Qin Mo was right.

"But uncle, I'm in the furniture factory..."

"It's okay, just stay well, bring more disciples, study together, remember, only practice can reveal the truth, you know?

I will allocate ten thousand taels of silver to you tomorrow, work hard, and you will be the pride of the Qin people in the future!"

Qin Liao was extremely excited, "Yes, uncle!"

Qin Wei was a little disappointed.

At this moment, a group of people came from far away.

Qin Mo took a closer look and saw who it could be if it wasn't Li Shilong.

He immediately turned around and left.

"Idiot, stop right there!"

Li Shilong was so angry that he just left when he saw him. Is he a bully?

"Wei Chen has met His Majesty!"

"Who asked you to change your title? Why are you so petty? Didn't I help you vent your anger?" Li Shilong said angrily: "I came here specifically to see you, and you treat me like this?"

Li Yue also came with him and kept winking at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo said: "Wei Chen is very good, and today's spring planting is very busy. I don't have time to entertain your majesty!"

This was Qin Mo. If it had been anyone else, he would have gone crazy.

After dismounting, Li Shilong walked to Qin Mo's side and said, "Hey, Wuji and Liang Zheng are both old. I lost two capable men all at once, not all because of you. Those people were demoted and punished. In the end, is it still my fault?"

"Idiot, don't be stubborn, my father has really paid a lot for you." Li Yue said.

Qin Mo now understands that if he wants to be a serious fisherman, there won't be so many things. As long as he is still in the capital, he will inherit the position of Duke of Qin and marry the third sister in the future.

It is impossible to be a salted fish.

"Okay, although I've already guessed it would be like this!" Qin Mo said gloomily.

"Hey, you are considerate of me!" Seeing that Qin Mo had softened a lot, Li Shilong said: "Today's spring broadcast, didn't I come here to see you?"

"Father, tell me what you want from me!" Qin Mo has already seen through everything!

Li Shilong blushed and said, "You brat, can't I come over and inspect you?"

Li Yue quickly came to Li Shilong's rescue: "Idiot, today is the Waking of Insects, and it should have rained long ago. Although there are still ten reservoirs in the capital, the seeds need to be irrigated before they are sown.

At this time in previous years, it was still cold, but now it is extremely hot, so Qin Tianjian speculates that this year will be a drought year, and I want to find a way to store water. Do you have any good ideas?"

"What can I do to save more water and dig more wells?" Qin Mo said: "Anyway, there is a lot of water in the Xishan coal mine. We are about to be short of water, so we can divert the water out of the coal mine!"

Li Shilong said: "There are not even a thousand but eight hundred mines in Xishan. The deepest point is a thousand meters. They are all infiltrated by underground water. It is good for irrigation, but how to get water?"

"In this way, Father, the imperial court will pay to dig more wells in each village. Each well must be ten or even twenty meters deep to ensure that there will be no problems with water for the people.

Last winter, when refugees came to Beijing, the ditches in the capital were sorted out. After spring sowing, water from the Beijing-Huaihe River was introduced into farmland and stored in dams.

Even if there is a drought in the capital, the Beijing-Huaihe River will not stop flowing. Plus the water from the Shi Reservoir can be used sparingly, and there shouldn’t be a big problem!”

Li Shilong nodded, "As for the northwest, things are not doing well there now, and after spring, there are more and more locusts there.

I’m afraid there will be a locust plague this year!”

Qin Mo frowned and said, "The locusts are still small now. Many of them have not hatched yet and cannot be caught. If there are chickens, ducks and geese, just put them outside. These livestock like to eat these things.

After the locusts hatch out, we will think of ways to catch them artificially. When the time comes, let them catch them all, and I will buy five big Qian Tongbao for one pound!"

"Huh? Why do you want to buy locusts?" Li Shilong and others were stunned, "Do you know how terrible the locust plague is?"

"How many people are there in the northwest? If there are three million people in the northwest, there are hundreds of billions of locusts. If each person catches 30,000 locusts, they will be gone. This does not include poultry.

There are now over 100,000 chickens and ducks in the farm. Now they are all sent to the northwest. Together with the local chickens, ducks and geese, they can eat tens of millions of them a day.

But transporting it here is too troublesome and unrealistic, so I let them handle it themselves."

The locusts in the locust plague are poisonous and cannot be eaten by humans, but animals can eat them. After eating, they are guaranteed to thrive.

"Idiot, don't be ridiculous, how much money will it cost?"

"Who are you kidding me? Just spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver can make a good thing turn into a bad thing. I'm quite happy with it."

"Jingyun, is this really possible?"

"Is there any other way? If there is no water, just find a water source and dig a well. If ten meters is not enough, just twenty meters. Find a way to dig a deeper well.

It is certain that the grain harvest in the northwest will be poor this year. The imperial court must make preparations for disaster relief, and the foundation must also keep up. It will still use the old method of providing relief through work, but this time there will be no need to dig ditches.

I will find someone to publicize the method of preventing locust plague, and then ask them to catch more locusts. I will write to my father-in-law and ask him to collect them on my behalf.

Then there is the large-scale digging of wells. As long as there is water, there will be no large-scale refugee migration.

As long as they are not lazy, every household can earn at least seven or eight taels of silver from me, which is enough for them to survive this year safely."

Gao Shilian also secretly smacked his lips. The severe drought and locust plague that left everyone in the imperial court helpless did not seem to be a big deal at all when it came to Qin Mo.

"Xuanling, Jingming, did you both hear it?" Li Shilong asked.

"I heard it, Your Majesty!" Dou Xuanling nodded, "But Jingyun, is this move really feasible?"

"How will you know if you don't try? It's better than worrying about it here, right?"

"Lao Ba, please come up with a detailed method for what Qin Mo just did."

"Yes, Father!" Li Yue cupped his hands and said.

"Father, I think we should be careful about changes in the northwest, so we should send troops to defend the northwest!" At this time, Li Xin stood up and said.

Li Shilong nodded, "Yes, this is also what Lao Cheng said to seek the country!"

Seeing Li Shilong nodding, Li Xin also breathed a sigh of relief. He walked limping in front of Qin Mo and said, "Jingyun, my father said that you are Daqian's lucky star. You are indeed right. You are full of wisdom and tricks. Daqian has you." , that’s really amazing!”

Qin Mo looked at Li Xin, this little old man was so good that he was praised to the heavens!
