36. Chapter 36

Mr. Chen was extremely satisfied with Lin Zihao's exam, as if he was determined to train him and Ouyang Zhi to become the real champions. The daily schoolwork has increased a lot, but the two of them are willing to heal, and even Lin Zihan's learning energy has begun to go crazy, but he has suffered from Lin Zimo.

Although Lin Zimo dropped the back of the car, he is young! Mr. Chen definitely looks at the Lin brothers differently. Looking at it differently, it is Lin Zimo's left palm, and he has been beaten twice for three days, if he hadn't had an adult soul, he would have been unable to support it for a long time. However, the role is not small, Lin Zimo passively made rapid progress in his schoolwork in order not to be beaten, so that the Lin brothers looked at it with pain and love, and there was no way. Mr. Chen didn't know that the Lin family was not going to force Lin Zimo to take the imperial examination, and it was impossible for Lin Zimo to transfer by himself, so he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

The days passed quickly in the study, and the sweet potato harvest season came, just in time for Xiu Mu, and the brothers returned to the village together. The family is talking about tomorrow's sweet potato harvest in the hall of the house, Lin Huaide is guarding the ground, watching the crops change day by day every day, and he is especially excited: "I didn't expect Zimo to say that this method is really successful, not only do you not need many seeds, but the sweet potatoes harvested are still big, I picked up a nest yesterday, and all of them have more than three or four taels." He rubbed his hands, lit a pot of cigarettes, and took a long puff: "If other sweet potatoes in the field are like this, then the villagers won't have to starve in the future," After speaking, he sighed with emotion, and those who have never been hungry cannot understand the meaning.

The old lady who had been raised a little rich took the tea handed over by the maid Xiaohuan, and also said: "Yes, I feel distressed every time I see those hungry and thin children who are not human, our family didn't have that ability before, this time we have to plan well, and help someone if I can." ”

As he was talking, Lin Fu came in to report: "Just now, a little girl from Ouyang Mansion came to report, please wait in the field tomorrow, someone from his family wants to come to see our family to harvest sweet potatoes." Lin Huaide nodded, since the beginning of planting, the Ouyang family has been very concerned, and it is not unusual to come over tomorrow, and said at the moment: "Let him tell him, we must wait." ”

After dinner the next day, Lin Huaide rushed to the farm with a few children. As soon as he had said a few words to the head of the village who was waiting there with the tenant farmers, a puff of smoke rose in the distance, and a team of horses galloped over, all of them were big men, all with swords, and they were majestic, and they came to the front and turned over and dismounted, and stood on both sides, without speaking, and quietly looked at another group of men and horses in the distance.

Lin Huaide is in a circle, where has he ever seen this? The Ouyang family didn't have such a big battle. looked at Lin Zimo involuntarily, and now he has formed a habit, and he wants to see Lin Zimo when he has something.

Lin Zimo touched his chin, just the Ouyang family definitely didn't have this battle, well, it must be the big backer behind him that his family said last time. Don't look at sweet potatoes as a cheap thing, if his family can really succeed this time and promote it throughout the country, it will not be a small achievement, it can rise to a national event, and it is not uncommon for a big official to come and check it.

gave his father a reassuring look: "It's okay Dad, just do what you have to do, just don't be affected." "As long as you advance and retreat in a good manner, no one will ask the countrymen to do anything.

As he spoke, a group of people arrived, and a few people in the middle flashed out on both sides of the dismount. I saw Ouyang Shaohua and Ouyang Zhi carefully accompanied a person to walk in slowly, only to see him wearing a white jade crown on his head, wearing a dark green embroidered new green bamboo gauze robe, the best white jade pendant pressed the corners of the robe, just entered the May day, holding a folding fan with a red spike head in his hand. Looking at the face again, under the slightly thick eyebrows, there is a pair of Danfeng eyes, shining between the opening and closing, a straight nose bridge, slightly thick lips tight, broad shoulders and thick back, long arms and bee waist, wheat-colored skin, about twenty years old, majestic, handsome with supreme majesty.

Lin Zimo only felt his heart skip a beat, this is exactly his dish! This was the first man he had ever felt since the negative man. What a pity! Looking at the left and right of this man, it is impossible for such a person of status to jump into his bowl.

Seeing a few people jumping off the horse with the help of their entourage, the father and son of the Lin family took two steps to meet them, and they didn't dare to get closer, Lin Huaide took a few sons and bent down to salute: "I've seen Master Ouyang, I've seen this adult." Uncle Ouyang looked at the man first, and the man snorted lightly: "Get up, don't delay because of this king." ”

The father and son were shocked and looked at Ouyang Shaohua, who was busy saying, "At this time, Prince Jing of this dynasty, you should make a big salute." The father and son of the Lin family did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rearranged their clothes and robe and knelt down: "The grass people and students have seen Prince Jing. ”

Prince Jing nodded coolly: "No formality, get up, you should focus on farming." Ouyang Shaohua hurriedly said: "The prince came this time, mainly to see how many catties of sweet potatoes can be produced per mu?" Let's do it first. Lin Huaide was not only sluggish, but also instructed the tenant farmers to cut off the sweet potato seedlings first, and then use shovels and large drafts to plane, and all of a sudden, a nest of sweet potatoes was exposed.

King Jing was busy and personally picked up a sweet potato and looked at it: "Yes, this head is quite big, if it is all like this, the yield of sweet potatoes will not be low." He glanced back: "Come on, dial 200 soldiers to help, and see how many catties can be produced by one cent of land." ”

With these 200 people joining, the work was done very quickly, and the divided land was quickly completed, and a large pile of sweet potatoes was piled up on the ground, and the head of the village brought a large scale that could hit 100 kilograms, and packed the sweet potatoes in a sack, and the two soldiers passed the scale one by one, and calculated that a total of more than 460 catties of sweet potatoes could be beaten in one point, so that one acre of land could produce about 4,500 to 5,000 catties of sweet potatoes.

Even Prince Jing was sweating excitedly, this is still a thin alkaline land planted by the Lin family, if it is a fertile land, the yield should be high. With a wave of his hand, Prince Jing ordered: "Go all, I'll see how many catties can be beaten in one acre of land." As he spoke, he noticed that his legs were a little weak, and immediately retreated to sit down on a stool in the shade of the tree.

Maybe others don't understand, but Prince Jing, as the only brother of the emperor's mother, certainly understands the emperor's difficulties. Although the emperor has been conscientiously governing the world since he ascended the throne, the treasury is still unable to make ends meet, coupled with the bandits in the south and the Tartars in the north, raising an army of 100,000 people, which makes the treasury even more stretched. He secretly participated in the trading of shares in various places below, which was also to collect wealth for the emperor and solve some urgent needs, but after all, it was a drop in the bucket.

Now that the Lin family has grown such a high-yield sweet potato, and they don't pick the land, then the thin land located in the border pass can also be planted, which can greatly reduce the consumption of military spending. Moreover, if it is spread throughout the country, the common people will be able to eat their stomachs, and the treasury will be full. And I heard that the Lin family also has a hand in planting other crops, so he beckoned to Lin Zimo, the only one who was idle under the trees on the ground.

Lin Huaide didn't let his sons work because his family was rich, even he was the same, and the father and son went to the ground together. As for exposing Lin Zimo to the sun, the Lin family father and son were reluctant, so he took on the job of a water delivery man, bringing water to everyone who was busy in the field, and by the way, he saw if the prince had anything to order.

Seeing the prince beckoning, Lin Zimo hurriedly ran over and gave a deep salute: "When the prince sees the move, I don't know what to order." There was a light of appreciation in King Jing's eyes. To say that this Lin family is really good, not only grows high-yield food, but also the three sons are all admitted to Xiucai in one go, take the child in front of him as an example, just eleven or twelve years old, he entered school, it can be said that this family has a bright future.
