Chapter 132 Such Observation

"Miss Tian, ​​your idea is excellent."

"As you said, all the errand runners on the street are registered in the county government."

"If another scam occurs, we can immediately find the person by their number."

"And they wear the same clothes, which makes them very conspicuous and easy to spot on the street."

"Wonderful, wonderful."

Tian Tian glanced at him; she had simply borrowed the management methods used for food delivery drivers from her time.

Real-name registration, unified management, uniform attire, and excellent service.

Once outside the city gate, Tian Tian led him directly on foot to the fields she had reclaimed, a journey that took more than an hour.

"From now on, you will come here every day at dawn."

Tian Tian stood by the seedbed... The rice seeds, sown just yesterday, showed no signs of life today.

But she pointed to the ground and said, "Let's take a look."

She was deliberately making things difficult for Ling Yao, but to her surprise, Ling Yao squatted down beside her, reached out and brushed aside the straw, dug out a grain of rice from under the thin layer of soil, and placed it in his palm.

He squinted, carefully examining the rice seeds in his palm.

"These rice seeds...have not changed significantly from yesterday's."

“But if you look closely…” Ling Yao observed very carefully, “the seeds are bigger than yesterday’s…”

He looked at the soil at the edge of the field and asked, "Did it absorb water all night, which is why it got bigger?"

Tian Tian looked down at Ling Yao, who was engrossed in his studies.

She made Ling Yao come and record things every day, just so he would give up.

She really hadn't expected Ling Yao to be so observant.

Just as Ling Yao said, there won't be any obvious changes after only one day of sowing.

On this day, the seeds mainly absorb water in preparation for germination.

The seeds have absorbed water and swelled, becoming larger than yesterday. The embryonic tissue is active and cannot be observed with the naked eye. It will take three to seven days before the seeds begin to germinate.

In this era, rice is grown in paddy fields, but due to various factors such as rice seeds, water and fertilizer, and temperature control, the harvest is not high.

Since Tian Tian's goal is to help Li Huaiyuan achieve political success, she must perfect the rice planting method so that it can be widely promoted.

To improve planting methods, it is necessary to record the changes in rice and management methods throughout the entire planting process.

She originally intended to keep the records herself.

But now... Ling Yao's observations are so meticulous, this task should naturally be assigned to him.

Tian Tian couldn't help but sigh, "It's truly an unexpected stroke of luck..."

When it came to creating achievements for Li Huaiyuan, Tian Tian glanced at Ling Yao.

Ling Yao is Li Huaiyuan's cousin. He looks very noble, which leads to the conclusion that Li Huaiyuan's family is also aristocratic.

Born into nobility, yet appointed as magistrate of Baishi County, it's obvious that Li Huaiyuan is here to gain prestige.

Once he achieves some success at the grassroots level, he will definitely be promoted in the future.

This journey... from the county magistrate, to the prefectural government, and then to the capital...

As long as she maintains a friendly relationship with Li Huaiyuan, her future will become increasingly smooth.

"Second Miss, is it alright if I remember it this way?" Ling Yao asked loudly for the second time.

Tian Tian then came to her senses.

Ling Yao held a charcoal pencil in one hand and a small booklet in the other.

The booklet records, "On the second day after rice sowing, the seeds absorbed water and swelled, becoming slightly larger than the day before."

Tian Tian squatted down and brushed aside the straw on top. "During the seedling stage, before the seedlings sprout, the soil moisture should be around 60%."

She pressed her finger on the soil, and water droplets flowed out. "See? With a gentle press, water flows out, which means it's 60% complete."

"Once the seedlings emerge, you need to reduce the amount of water; you shouldn't be able to squeeze out any water when you press them with your fingers."

Ling Yao took out a charcoal pencil and scribbled notes in the booklet.

After taking notes, he even lay down and pressed the area himself.

Tian Tian watched his movements, her eyes flickering.

"Second Miss." Ling Yao stood up and handed the booklet to Tian Tian.

He added back Tian Tian's words.

"Before I came to Baishi County, I didn't see any other places starting to grow rice."

"Everyone says the weather is still cool and we have to wait another month before we can plant them."

"Why did you plant them so early? Won't the seedlings freeze to death?"

Tian Tian pointed to the straw that had been pulled out, "Covering the soil with straw can raise the soil temperature."

Ling Yao lowered his head and took notes in the notebook...

Back in the county town, the yamen runners were already driving away the errand boys on the streets.

"If you still want to run errands, go to the county government office to register now."

"If you still want to run errands, go to the county government office to register now."

The yamen runners were notifying everyone one by one.

When other people around asked, he gave them the same answer: "If you want to run errands, go to the county government office to register now."

"Only 30 people will be registered in the first batch, so go early to register!"

The yamen runners' propaganda was effective, and since running errands could indeed earn money, many errand runners rushed to register at the county yamen.

"Second Miss." The yamen runner nodded to Tian Tian when he saw her.

Tian Tian nodded to him, "I'll go to the fabric shop later and remind you to have the people who have registered and received their errand passes go to the fabric shop to take measurements. I'll pay for the clothes they need."

The constable chuckled and said, "Alright, thank you, young lady."

Tian Tian turned to Ling Yao, "That's all for today, you can go back now."

After parting ways with Ling Yao, Tian Tian went to the cloth shop.

"Manager Tian!" The manager of the cloth shop came out to greet him. "Baishi Teahouse is so busy, what brings you here?"

"If you need anything, just have the servant come over."

Tian Tian smiled and looked around at the fabrics in the shop. "Shopkeeper, I'd like to order thirty sets of short-sleeved garments."

Her gaze fell on a piece of yellow fabric. "Let's use this fabric."

“These garments are made for delivery workers. After registering at the county government, they will receive a delivery worker's pass, and then they will use the pass to have their measurements taken.”

The shopkeeper took down the yellow fabric. "What kind of pattern do you need on those clothes?"

She knew what was happening on the street.

"Let's just... embroider the character 'run'."

The cloth shop owner took out a piece of paper and said, "Then please leave your calligraphy, Manager Tian."

Tian Tian didn't refuse and directly took a brush and wrote a big "run" character on the paper.

"Embroidered on the back".

After finishing these tasks, Tian Tian returned to Baishi Teahouse.

She glanced casually in one direction...

Then they saw a person eating their meal with a satisfied expression.

Isn't that Ling Yao?

He sat in a corner of the shop, and would often be overlooked unless you looked specifically for him.

No wonder he said he's been eating at Baishi Tea House a lot lately.

"Second Miss." Xiao Si came over and followed her gaze. "Oh, that young master has been visiting the teahouse for seven or eight days in a row."

“I come here every day, and I always order five or six dishes, and they’re different every day.”

"I finally got to eat all the meals today."

I've been visiting Baishi Teahouse for seven or eight days now... which means I've been in Baishi County for at least seven or eight days.

He hadn't contacted Li Huaiyuan for the past seven or eight days.

But because she wanted to learn how to grow rice from her, she went to find Li Huaiyuan.

This person... is really interesting.
