Chapter 149: Go to the top

It is another year when the farming is busy, there are almost no people in every household in Tianjia Village, and the waves of rice ears on the south side of the field drown out the people who bow their heads and bend over to farm, and the clear river water, the golden rice ears, and the villagers who are busy farming, constitute the July of Tianjia Village.

Summer solstice with a small straw hat, to the busy people to send water, this year Tian family has too many fields, just invite people I am afraid can not be busy, Tian Lao four brothers and Lao Luo Tou are personally in battle, Tianjia Village here by Lao Luo Tou with two sons led by hired people are busy, Xu Jiaji by Tian Lao San and Tian Lao Si with hired people busy, compared to Xu Jiaji over there, people working in Tianjia Village are much more comfortable, but from time to time someone sends saliva to drink, there is a lot of water over there.

This is not the summer solstice is here to bring water to people, of course, the summer solstice is followed by Lin Yunlei who came with water, it is said that there are hundreds of people here, she came with a teapot, and it is not enough to drink, so she pulled Lin Yunlei, who was completely in a state of waste in the busy farming season, as a strong man, and from time to time picked a few buckets of water and sent them to people to drink, which can be regarded as finding a job to do, otherwise a big man stays at home like a woman every day, Lin Yunlei feels uncomfortable.

After cutting the rice, Tian Lao Si did not rest their feet, non-stop began to hire people again, water release, plough the field, transplant seedlings, wait until the seedlings are planted, the family is really rested, it is said that this variety of rice harvest in one season has increased by then, but unfortunately people are too tired, even if the temperature in ancient times is not very high, but the sun shines on the head, there are more than 20 degrees, not to mention that it is a month under the sun.

Lao Luotou and the four brothers of the Tian family have been dark several times, but they are more energetic, there is no way. In front of the hundreds of truckloads of grain that were sold and the grain piled up in the cellars of the Tian family. Several of them were almost dumbfounded. It is said that this year is the Tian family's most harvest, almost three or four hundred thousand grain income, but unfortunately now because of the promotion of double cropping rice, the imperial court requires one-tenth of the first harvest to be paid as a tax, otherwise the Tian family will definitely earn more.

Not only Tian Jiaxi was blind to his teeth, but Ma Shang was also overjoyed, this year was the first year that double cropping rice was popularized, and the imperial court issued a clear statement stating that one-tenth of the first harvest was counted as a tax to be paid. In addition to the sweet potatoes promoted in the north this year, there is no need to worry about eating in winter, and the life of the common people will definitely be better and better, of course, if some places cannot grow double-cropping rice, they will naturally be exempted from these taxes.

Forty of the people naturally had no complaints about paying half of the tax, and in order to encourage the people to grow a variety of crops, the imperial court made a special statement that if someone could find new crops or help increase income, and successfully planted them. Reporting to the imperial court is not only exempt from paying taxes. There will also be a silver bounty.

At that time, when Xia Zhi heard the news, the Tian family's taxes had already been paid, and Xia Zhi secretly scolded Ma Shang in his heart for not being kind, since they all said that they wanted to exempt her family's taxes, he was still cheeky to collect them, and he wanted to know that when they went to pay taxes, Ma Shang was the town.

Xia Zhi knew that Ma Shang looked at the Tian family's hundreds of thousands of taels of grain, and when he saw that the Tian family paid taxes, he couldn't wait to let him pay more, and he naturally didn't say anything about tax exemption, and reported to the court that the Tian family was grateful to the emperor, and paying taxes was what the people should do, which made the people above look at the Tian family with admiration.

Of course, Xia Zhi doesn't look at the 30,000 or 40,000 taels of grain now, and he will hand it over as a thank you gift from Marchand to find out Lai. And the cheapest person in the Tian family's hundreds of thousands of taels of grain is Lin Yunlei, so much grain Tian family can't let go, leaving 10,000 taels is enough for the Tian family to eat hard, and the rest is naturally to be sold, this cheap others are not as cheap as their own people, Lao Luo Tou sold it to Lin Yunlei's grain store at a price lower than the market price, and Lin Yunlei is also bent in his eyebrows.

Xia Zhi muttered to himself, now our family has really become a small landlord. Throughout the whole Tianjia Village, the harvest is also good, every household has surplus grain, and there are those who learn to open pits in Tianjia Village, irrigate through the waterwheel, the harvest is good, and the villagers are happy all day long, this day is getting better and better!

After selling the grain, the Tian family received nearly 10,000 taels, and the Li family and Lao Luotou got so much money that they were scared and didn't know what to do, but in the end, each family still gave 1,000 taels, even the summer solstice also got 1,000 taels, after all, many of these fields were promised to Xia Solstice by the Li family.

The money of the summer solstice Zheng and Tian Laosi will not help to collect it, let her do what she likes, anyway, they are very relieved about this girl, and I am afraid that the money in the embroidery village is more than these, since they don't care about the silver money in the embroidery village, these naturally don't care, and now the daughters of the Tian family are richer than them adults.

Xia Zhi has a huge amount of money, and he is happy all day long, like a little mouse who has stolen oil to eat, Lin Yunlei is amused when he sees it, and he is really a fan of small wealth.

After the farm is over, Xia Zhi took his free time, went to the town to take a look, everything in the embroidery village is in order, Xia Zhi looked at the shop that did not have himself but was very well managed by the Tian family sisters, and the boss comforted in his heart, and now several sisters of the Tian family can deal with the difficulties of customers in an orderly manner, even Tian Guyu has been honed in the past few months, and even has a lot of ideas.

Seeing that everything was safe in the store, the summer solstice came back with the carriage in the afternoon, yes, the Tian family sold the grain, and the Li family and Lao Luotou bought the carriage, after all, there is some distance to Niangniang Town, and it will take a day to come and go, which is really a delay, if the carriage can at least shorten the time by a small half, not to mention that according to the current situation of the Tian family, it will have to run to the town in the future, and it will not work.

And the carriage was brought by Lin Yunlei for the Tian family, and the Tian family didn't even pay for it, so someone helped drive the carriage to the Tian family. If it weren't for Lin Yunlei's feeling that he was young, he would probably have started to teach him to ride a horse, and the matter of feeding the horses was naturally handed over to Tian Jingjing.

After more than a month, the cotton has grown to half a human height, but unfortunately some cotton although the summer solstice tried its best to do the best, but the transplantation time was too early or did not survive, five acres of land can sometimes be seen sparse open space. However, some of them grew well, and during this period, Xia Zhi took the Tian family and fertilized the cotton again.

July is the month with the fastest and largest growth of cotton; Xia Zhi looked at or hit the buds, or has bloomed cotton, the heart is also very happy, although busy with farm work recently, but did not put the cotton, July is the weather changes drastically easy to hard weather, pests and diseases time, so the summer solstice is not afraid to relax, for fear that those insects will harm her cotton, but fortunately there is no insect pest.

Because it has entered Futian, it is the fastest and largest month for cotton transformation. The summer solstice is afraid that the cotton will be dry, and sometimes he will come with Lin Yunlei to water the cotton at night or in the morning.

And today, mainly to top cotton, I believe that if modern people know the way, cotton to the top, can increase the yield, but for the ancient people that can be said clearly, you can say that it is to inhibit the secretion of auxin, they don't even know what auxin is, not to mention the principle, the summer solstice means that Yali Mountain is big.

But no matter how difficult it is, topping is a must, at first Xia Zhi thought of a way that if it really didn't work, she would secretly hit it herself, 'The raw rice is cooked and cooked', and they didn't have a problem, of course, the first thing they should think of was how to get rid of Lin Yunlei.

After the topping, Xia Zhi estimated that he was fertilizing once in August, and he should be able to pick up cotton peaches, and he should be able to harvest in September.

"Hey, are you sure this will increase cotton yields?"

Hey, the first person to get rid of it first, and the first person to explain it first, how does Xia Zhi feel that what he does is a thankless thing, Xia Zhi rolled his eyes and said to Lin Yunlei's back:

"Sure and sure, don't we plant these cotton just to make it bloom, catch peaches and spit out, if they grow too tall, the fertility is absorbed to grow taller, how can there be that fertility to bloom and pick peaches, so we can't let it grow all the time, otherwise the yield of cotton will be reduced!" Xia Zhi tried his best to explain the principle of going to the top in an easy-to-understand way, so that Lin Yunlei could understand.

Lin Yunlei didn't live up to Xia Zhi's saliva, and nodded to show that he understood, but his next words scared Xia Zhi,

"I don't know how the Ludao cotton is spitting, and I don't know that the Ludao cotton can only be spit after flowering and peaching!" After speaking, he squinted at Xia Solstice, and saw that her facial expression was unnatural, so he lowered his head again to hit the top.

You almost didn't ask how you know Lu Dao, and you pretended to be nothing, looking at the ear branch, just waiting for me to answer for you, Xia Zhi felt that he was too stupid, even if no one knew how Lu Dao planted cotton, naturally no one had ever seen how cotton was spitting, and now she didn't show her bottom in front of Lin Yunlei, if she said that she could quibble about it, she could come up with it, but she couldn't quibble when she blossomed and picked up peaches.

"You don't know the way, naturally someone knows the way!" Xia Zhi's subconscious meaning is that someone told me, and then he didn't care how Lin Yunlei guessed, he went to work on his own, anyway, he didn't know who Lu Dao told her, even if he was suspicious, as long as she didn't say it, I believe he couldn't find anything substantial, at least Lin Yunlei wouldn't suspect that Xia Zhi's soul had already changed someone.

So I happily went to the top, hoping that the cotton would bloom and pick up the peach and spit out, cover the new quilt, haha haha, and ......, for a while, the crisp laughter of the summer solstice continued. (To be continued......)
