Chapter 166: Harvest

Hua Yue nodded.

Although he is not dead, judging from the investigation, Qin Guangyu is not a big-hearted person, and he will definitely hate the Xiao family because of this.

Moreover, someone in the DPRK has already found Qin Guangyu because of the corn incident, if he really makes him soar in the future, it will be a big trouble.

Yuanzhi saw that Hua Yue was silent, and asked, "Childe wants to get rid of him?" ”

Hua Yue shook her head: "If you start at this time, it will make people suspect that the Xiao family did it." Since Miss Ayu spared him a life, it is estimated that she doesn't want to suffer this grievance similar to being blamed, so let it go first, and let people keep an eye on Qin Guangyu's movements. ”

Yuanzhi immediately responded.

Li Ying heard that Qin Guangyu did not coax Xiao Pei to agree to be a concubine as Zhao Jing said, but was beaten up, she was very dissatisfied, she didn't know when her plan would be implemented, and she went to find the maid she met last time to support her.

It's only March, and the weather in Lingnan is getting hotter, but fortunately, the mountains are full of green shade, blocking a lot of bright sunlight.

Most of the capital is now in the season of spring smelting, but here it is like late spring.

However, the wildflowers in the mountains of southern Xinjiang often bloom all year round, and these white rose-like flowers on the thorns in front of you bloom all over the hillside, exuding a strong fragrance.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Pei are here to pick up mountain mushrooms.

As a result, when I went home, I only got a small basket and picked a lot of fairy grass.

After Li Ying's last winter when she wanted to eat fairy grass jelly, Xiao Yu deliberately said that fairy grass jelly could also be used as a hot drink when supplying Lanyue Tower, and in order to distinguish it, she also kindly suggested that Lanyue Tower could name the hot fairy grass jelly as Burning Fairy Grass.

On this spring day, the burnt fairy grass in Lanyue Building sold very well.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yu and Wang Lei commanded Hao Jun to lead people to set up a rack for drying corn in the yard. In fact, Xiao Yu is not very good at this, so he used the method that the old farmer had studied before and used when the last batch of corn was harvested.

for this batch of corn in the field is also ripe.

Now the milk line of these corn grains has completely disappeared, the corn kernels have become shriveled and sunken, and the outer bracts are dry and white, and they are loose.

This means that the corn is fully ripe and ready for harvesting.

After Wang Lei and Xiao Yu went to the field to see it, they decided to take advantage of the good weather and quickly take back the corn. Now it's time to set up a shelf first to make it easier to dry.

There were a lot of people, and the shelves were quickly set up, Xiao Yu was about to ask someone to go to the General's Mansion to urge, when he heard someone from outside come in to report that General Ling had brought someone over.

Xiao Yu was very happy and hurriedly went out.

When I arrived at the door, I saw Ling Yan change into a riding and archery uniform, jumped down from the carriage, and said with a smile: "Sister Ayu, I can come over to pick corn as promised!" ”

Seeing the people who came out from behind, Ling Yan said sweetly: "Sister Xiao! ”

The three of them saw the ceremony, Xiao Yu's eyes swept to the soldiers and horses brought by Ling Yi, and said with a smile: "It seems that a few of us will pick one or two for the occasion today." ”

Now go to the cornfield.

Ling Yi quickly assigned the work to his soldiers and kept a good record of the harvested corn. Because the corn leaves were a little frizzy, Xiao Yu and the others did only pick one or two corns and watched from the side.

This batch of corn was planted on five acres, of which a small part was planted in the mountains, and due to the large number of people, it took nearly two hours to harvest and transport them back to Xiao's family.

Ling Yi left more than a dozen people and built a shed next to Xiao's house to help with the drying, and to harvest it when it rained, and he waited for the corn to dry before coming here.

Of course, Xiao Yu's sisters and brothers have no objections.

The weather is beautiful, there is no rain during this period, and the sun is still quite strong, but in ten days, the corn is dry.

Ling Yi brought someone to weigh the corn back to the warehouse as scheduled.

Although this is already the second batch of harvested corn, because Ling Yi and a few people were not there before, the General's Mansion did not let anyone participate in watching when the corn was harvested.

This time, in addition to Ling Yi and the people from the Agricultural Division, Shen Taishou and the people from the Jingnan County Mansion also came over.

When Xiao Yu saw Li Zhang, he remembered that the corn he touched last time didn't grow, but he didn't expect him to come over with Shen Taishou and others as if nothing had happened.

In order to facilitate weighing, all the dried corn had been threshed two days ago, and now it was temporarily stacked in the Xiao family's granary with baskets.

When everyone saw so many golden corns, they couldn't help but exclaim.

Although Yang Zhi of Sinong Temple heard Wang Lei's report on the yield of this corn, he was also skeptical, in fact, he was also very annoyed that he did not actively participate in the planting of corn because he did not think about corn at the beginning, and he was entangled in other things.

Yang Zhi saw the corn in front of him and said in disbelief: "This is really the grain produced by five acres of land?!" ”

Xiao Yu changed into men's clothes today, and smiled beside him: "Of course, do we dare to bully the king?" ”

Moreover, on the way back from Changzhou, Xiao Yu also learned from Ling Yan that Ling Yi had presented the corn planting method sorted out by Wang Lei and others to the imperial review, and brought a lot of corn, and Emperor Qi appointed officials to start planting this corn in Changzhou and the capital.

It is said that after Mrs. Xiao learned about it, she also said: In this case, why don't you leave Xiao Yu in Changzhou?

Xiao Yu himself was puzzled.

However, a few days ago, Ling Yi got the news that the corn in Changzhou is also growing very fast, although the weather in the south is not as warm as Yuedi, but the growth is similar to the winter batch here, and the estimated yield is also very impressive.

At the moment, in full view of everyone, Ling Yi asked people to weigh those corns.

Five acres of corn, more than 46 stone of grain, that is, more than 5,000 catties, everyone present gasped and looked at the corn with burning eyes.

This corn is much more precious than gold! Sure enough, it is an ancient artifact!

It must be known that the millet produced by an acre of good paddy field is only about three stones, that is, more than 300 catties, and this corn actually has such a high yield of 1,000 catties per mu.

One acre of corn is still planted on the hillside!

Shen Taishou next to him was already in tears, and he couldn't stop saying: "God blesses you to win such a high-yield crop...... God bless you! ”

Li Zhang's face was even more exciting, he never thought that this legendary corn was really not just beautiful, but also had such a high yield. Of course, he clearly knew what it meant for Daqi to have such a food crop.

The country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented. With food, more people can be fed, and more people will farm, do business, and fight.

Ling Yi knew that the yield of corn was high, and he planted less last year, so although the yield also surprised him, he didn't expect that this corn could still be planted on the arid slope!

This corn is so unscrupulous that although it can be planted on the top of the mountain, it can be grown without water, and in a place where there is a lot of mountainous and barren land like Yuedi, there will be more wasteland that can produce food for Daqi.

Ling Yi had already seen that a prosperous era was coming.

Moreover, judging from the situation of these two batches of planting, this corn is not only drought tolerant, but also waterlogging, even if Ling Yi only thought that this was just an overseas thing, now he believes that this is really a divine object sent by God.

When everyone was excited, Xiao Yu asked Ling Yi for instructions, and now he should think about how to eat this dried corn.

Ling Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. (To be continued.) )
