Chapter 164: Conception
Xie Yujiao showed a big smile at the two of them, "You guys are really my lucky stars!" The problem that has been bothering me for two days has been solved as soon as you come! Thank you so much! ”
“?” The two who were thanked were confused, completely unaware of what was going on. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's a book I've read before, and someone has proposed how to increase rice yields. But I only glanced at it, and I don't know if it will work. Xie Yujiao was in a good mood.
She now finally knows what is the use of God sending him over, it must be for her to give full play to the advantages of the crossing woman, steal the hybrid rice technology more than a thousand years later, let her inform the people of the Great Song Dynasty in advance, and save countless lives that have been starved to death in the next thousand years.
"Hah!" Xie Yujiao was in good spirits, and she felt that she had found the value of her existence.
Therefore, she decided to overcome the age-old problem of grain production, starting from tomorrow.
Xie Yujiao stared at these two ready-made laborers, and said with bad intentions: "You are all on vacation these days, right?" Looking for something for you to do? ”
Li Tianlei's face did not change, and he looked like he was ordered.
Zhao Chengxi was a little worried about what Xie Yujiao was figuring out again, and asked, "What do you want to do?" Look at your eyes, panic! “
Xie Yujiao smiled mysteriously at him and looked around her yard.
The saplings that died last year have been cleared, and now some greens have been planted on both sides of the bluestone road, and they are growing just right.
If she said that she would open a test field in the yard, these two people and her grandfather should not treat her as a psychopath!
"Grandpa! Grandfather! Xie Yujiao ran into the kitchen and asked the old man directly: "Grandpa, I want to dig the yard into two paddy fields, can I?" ”
“?” The old man suddenly heard what his baby granddaughter said, and he didn't react.
"What do you say? Digging paddy fields? He asked rhetorically.
"It's not about digging paddy fields, it's about digging the vacant land in the yard into paddy fields. I remembered a strange book I read before, saying that there is a way to increase rice yield, but it has not been implemented, I don't know if it will work, I want to try! ”
"Oh!" The old man understood, didn't his granddaughter want to level the vegetables in the yard and dig them into paddy fields?
"Okay, grandpa will dig for you in the afternoon!" The old man didn't think much about it, his granddaughter's request for designation was justified, and of course he had to support his grandfather.
Not to mention digging the yard, it is to demolish the house, as long as his granddaughter speaks, he will not hesitate.
This girl is not a child who will toss blindly on a whim.
Just do it.
After lunch, a few people began to get busy.
First, I put all the vegetables aside, and then I started digging the soil.
Pick out the excavated soil little by little.
The three men in the family were digging the fields, so Xie Yujiao went out to find the Chuncao brothers and sisters, and asked them to tell the other children in the village that she would collect wild seedlings with roots and whiskers, and they would pay five cents a pound.
The children had the opportunity to earn money to buy snacks, and of course they no longer had nothing to do to cause trouble for the adults, and they began to look for wild seedlings in groups.
After the search for this village, I went to the neighboring village, anyway, the wild seedlings are like weeds for other people, and they are annoying.
The courtyard of the Qu family is also busy, and in three days, the two paddy fields in the yard have taken shape, and the rest is to carry water to the fields.
It was a hard job to carry water, but fortunately there were still two horses to use, and the field was filled with water in half a day.
Then the newly baked paddy fields were paved with layers of rotten branches and rotten leaves of the mountain forest as base fertilizer, and then sprinkled with plant ash to kill insects.
Fresh seedlings bought from the villagers' homes are then mixed with wild seedlings collected by the children and planted in the paddy fields.
Finally, the water manure from the manure pit is applied again, and the rice field is considered to be busy.
The two paddy fields in the yard separated by bluestone pavements should have an area of one acre, and the yield can be measured according to this area when the autumn harvest comes.
In the past few days, the movements of the Qu family have also made a lot of noise, the village chief has also come to see, Zhang Huaiyan's father has also come to see, and one or two from other families occasionally come to see the strangeness.
This time, no one in the village said anything discouraged.
Even if someone says that the Qu family is tossing blindly, they are only chewing the root of their tongue in secret.
Because through the experience of the previous times, the villagers all know that if this Xie girl wants to toss something, it will be done after all.
Papermaking, inkmaking, and confectionery have all been successful.
Therefore, this time, people whimsically dug paddy fields in their own yards, and if they can really figure out a way to increase grain production, it will be a good thing for the country and the people.
Even if it doesn't work out, no one's field is wasted, and everyone is just idle and kowtowing a few words at most.
Since planting the seedlings in the field, Xie Yujiao has never taken care of it anymore, because she doesn't know how to manage it, so it's better to just let it grow.
But the village chief, who came to see it from time to time, wanted to see what this wild seedling could grow into when it was mixed with domestic seedlings.
After the spring planting, many young, young and middle-aged people in the village who can walk bid farewell to their families and go out to beg for a living.
In the entire Dongshan Village, there are mostly old people and young children.
Like Xie Yujiao's left-behind village in her previous life, young people all went out to work to earn money, and their families were all old and young who couldn't walk, a proper left-behind village.
Xie Yujiao and the old man also went to the capital before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Fu Zhaofeng accompanied Fu Zhaoyuan to Xie Yujiao's courtyard.
Although Fu Zhaoyuan can go out, his body is still very weak, and he has to be a wheelchair when he goes out, and he can't stop taking medicine three times a day.
Fu Zhaofeng finally embarked on the old path of the Fu family and began to practice martial arts seriously.
The side branch of the Fu family was also asked to keep a low profile.
Fu Zhaoyuan revealed that the current King Zheng and Emperor Gong Chai Zongxun of the previous dynasty can survive now, which is also the result of his father Fu Yanqing's private negotiations with the new emperor.
As for when and how they negotiated, no one else knows.
Anyway, the result is that the Fu family is not against the new emperor, and the new emperor Baogong Emperor and Empress Dowager Fu will die peacefully.
As a relative of the previous dynasty, the Fu family was not liquidated, which is very incredible in the eyes of the faction that supports the new emperor.
Especially now that the imperial power has been stabilized, the new imperial faction has made a statement to the emperor, saying that it is time to take action against the Fu family.
What the emperor thinks, except for himself and Fu Yanqing, no one else knows.
Therefore, now the Fu family is struggling on the surface, and has to clamp their tails and be careful.
The Fu family couldn't help Xie Yujiao in other aspects, but they were very happy in terms of money, and directly gave a cart of gold, a full five thousand taels, which was personally driven to Dongshan Village by Fu Zhaofeng.
Xie Yujiao couldn't understand, what did the Fu family do with so much gold for her? She can't transport it back, she can't eat it, and she can't just put it in a secret treasure house underground.
She wondered if the Fu family was looking for a way out, or a plan to do something like the three holes of the cunning rabbit.
In this way, the grandfather and grandson of the Qu family guarded the rice fields in the courtyard and the gold, silver and jewelry underground, counting their fingers day by day.
