Chapter Ninety-Two: The Harvest
"It's actually cheaper now." Yun Lian didn't know what she remembered, and said sullenly, "Where do we have a concubine and a flat wife?" He also married the two young ladies of the Chen family at once. And that little rosette is really hateful! It should have been sent out early. ”
"There are some things that can't just be taken at face value." Yun Xiang said with a smile, "Then Chen Xiumei and Chen Xiulan are not fuel-efficient lamps. If Chen Xiumei hadn't been pregnant, would she have been able to fall in love with our family? Not to mention Chen Xiulan, her eyes are going to grow to the sockets! Yun Xiang learned from Chen Xiulan's way of looking at people, and made Yun Lian and Zhou laugh.
"You mean, they're going to have a bad life in the future?" Yun Lian asked again.
"Don't you have any trouble, I think the Liu family is going to be upset by them! It's not that you haven't seen the day two people got married, and you have to make trouble every day in the future. Zhou put the sleeping little guy down, "Don't worry about other people, you can be weighed tomorrow, right?" What is the second rice harvest? ”
Yun Xiang nodded confidently, "Let's wash it, it's only better than the first season, not to mention anything else, we have made a lot of money just by the crabs in it." I'm afraid that this rice has a yield of about six stones per mu! "The first rice was not planted together, and Yunxiang used the most common seeds before the end of the world for experiments, and some used the seeds that had been soaked in spiritual springs. Facts have proved that the seeds here are indeed problematic, even after being soaked in the spiritual spring, the yield per mu can only barely catch up with the seeds of later generations.
Zhou was a little incredulous, "Are there really so many?" I've grown so big. I haven't heard of rice that yields six stones per mu. ”
One stone here is only 100 catties, and the yield per mu is only 600 catties, and it can't even be reached here. Yun Xiang looked at the sky. "It's not early, my mother will sleep too, tomorrow I will accompany my father to the ground, I guess Lord Lin will arrive early tomorrow with his brother."
Thinking of his eldest son who hadn't seen him for a long time, Zhou was a little excited, "Okay, okay, you guys should go to bed early." I'll cook at home tomorrow and wait for you. ”
"No, mother, let's go to Sister Mei's house for dinner tomorrow. She has a big place and a lot of food to eat. According to Gu Mo's disclosure, the people who will come tomorrow are absolutely indispensable. All the officials of the county and the government, it seems that there is also a great Si Nong specially appointed by the emperor.
"Your Excellency. The subordinate has been here for nine days. Witnessed and supervised the whole process of rice harvesting, this is a piece of Chen, please take a look. "Gu Mo is rare and very respectful and polite.
An old man in his fifties looked at Tiao Chen and nodded, "Well, it's well written." If this harvest can catch up with two-thirds of the first season, my Great Xia Dynasty will no longer have to worry about food! ”
This great Sinong is a newcomer to His Majesty. Nowadays, we pay great attention to agriculture and firmly believe that no business is rich. No farming, no stability. After what happened last time, His Majesty singled out a person he trusted. The part of agriculture was listed separately from the Ministry of Industry. Although its top boss is now called Dasi Nong, and he only has the official position of Zheng Sanpin, everyone knows it in their hearts. Sooner or later, this Ministry of Agriculture will become the seventh department, and sooner or later, this big Si Nong will also be a Shangshu-level figure.
"Alright, let's start weighing." Da Si Nong nodded, signaling that it was time to begin. Yun Xiang saw that the person following him was holding a pen and paper and went to the side of the scale, and looked at the scale without blinking his eyes. There are also some people who are carefully checking the quality of which rice.
After all, it was the harvest of more than 100 acres of land, and it took an hour and a half just to overweigh it. The old man didn't feel tired of looking around all the time. Just asked Liu Chengshuang a few words at any time with interest. How old is this year, how many people are in the family, how many acres of land are there, how many cows are there, and so on. Liu Chengshuang is a real person, and he thinks that he is a big official, so he has something to say, and he said that the old man was straightforward, and praised Liu Chengshuang as a sincere person.
"Lord Hui, it's all weighed." A middle-aged man with a pen and paper walked over and saluted.
Da Si Nong nodded, "Okay, you can return the favor loudly." The old man's eyes were shrewd, and he saw the scribe's expression with great excitement, and knew that the result must be good. Such a loud return is one for all to be heard, and the other for inspiration.
"Lord Huiyu, one hundred and twenty-two acres of land has produced six hundred and eighty-three quintals and twenty buckets, and the average yield per mu is five stones and six buckets."
"More than the first rice harvest?" Da Si Nong didn't expect such a result. They had already counted on the way they came, and as long as the harvest of the second crop of rice could catch up with half of the first crop, they would ask for credit for this Liu Chengshuang. After all, this second crop of rice was only planted in the extreme south of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the maturity period was very long. Liu Chengshuang's move, the harvest in the second season is equivalent to being earned for nothing. It is tantamount to a groundbreaking move that benefits the country and the people.
Da Si Nong took the record from the scribe's hand and carefully calculated it himself. After making sure that it was accurate, he couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Good, good, good, Lord Liu is the hero of our Great Xia Dynasty!" We will never worry about food again in the future! ”
Liu Chengshuang saluted in fear, "I just know how to farm, and adults can't boast about it!" ”
"Knowing how to farm is the greatest skill!" Da Si Nong helped Liu Chengshuang up, "I will immediately write a book of recitals, Lord Tuogu will go up to the sky through the special passage of Qilinwei, Lord Liu has worked hard and made great achievements, I will definitely report it truthfully to Your Majesty." ”
"Thank you, sir." Liu Chengshuang thanked him, "The house is not spacious enough, and my subordinates deliberately ordered wine and food for half a day of leisure to catch the wind and wash the dust for the adults." ”
Da Sima was not hypocritical at all, "Okay, good, but we are such old people, don't eat poor Lord Liu." ”
"No, no." Liu Chengshuang waved his hand again and again, "That's the property of my fourth master's family, and it's good and cheap." ”
Da Sima was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh again. This Liu Chengshuang is really a wonderful person! He likes this kind of person, capable, down-to-earth, and doesn't play tricks. If such a person is under the hands of others, I am afraid that he will be completely squeezed and will never be able to get ahead. But if you enter the Ministry of Agriculture, you are the best cadre. It seems that when it is reported, it will take a few more strokes to try to bring this honest man under his command.
Not to mention anything else, this Liu Chengshuang will be able to farm, and if he can achieve success, he will also benefit as the chief officer of this department. His Majesty put himself in the third product first, in fact, he also wanted to make some achievements by himself, so as to block the mouths of the other six parts. So this Liu Chengshuang is definitely a key, I can't say it, I have to rely on him for my way to Shangshu.
Liu Chengshuang didn't know that he, the person who commanded farming, had also become a 'talent' and was targeted by the future Shangshu. Yun Xiang couldn't imagine that because she contributed the seeds, she pushed Liu Chengshuang onto the road of becoming an official, and the future seemed to be very bright. (To be continued......)
