Chapter Eighty-Three: Purpose

"Auntie, come on, there's a guest at home!" Before Xia Zhi entered the house, he shouted to the Wang family who was doing it in the hall.

At this time, it was afternoon, Tian Jingzhen and Tian Bailu were napping time, and Wang held some torn clothes, sewing and mending clothes, while watching the two children. After listening to Xia Zhi's shout, he didn't move his body. She thought that it was the people in the village who were idle and had nothing to do, anyway, no matter what her expression was, whether she greeted them or not, they would come in by themselves, so why bother running out of the village and running in again.

"Auntie, come and see, who's coming! Guaranteed you don't need it! However, Xia Zhi obviously didn't know what Lu Dao Wang's heart was thinking, she was in the excitement at this time, thinking about taking the bezoar to Doctor Xu, and she didn't know what Lu Dao's expression was at that time. Xia Zhi stood outside the door and asked the Wang family to come out and take a look.

"Okay, summer solstice girl, it's not a distinguished guest! There were no patients in the clinic at this time! I just wanted to come out for a walk, didn't I think that I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I ran into you, you can't dislike your grandfather! ”

Although Xu Ming said so, the truth is otherwise, although there are not many patients in his medical hall, there are still so many people, and he is not idle and has nothing to do, so he ran to the township of Tianjia Village. He ran all the way to Tianjia Village today mainly to hear from his friends about the Tian family's double cropping rice, one was curious, the other was to take care of some Tian family, and the third was to build a bridge between his old friend and the Tian family.

The specific reason is still to talk about the double cropping rice of the Tian family. It turned out that when the Tian family began to plant a season of rice in April, the people of Tianjia Village were curious, and when the Tian family collected grain in July, it was put into storage. The people of Tianjia Village looked red. But it was suppressed by the village chief's meeting.

But there are those talkative people. Then the Tian family planted double cropping rice to tell the matter, this spread ten, ten to hundred, hundreds to thousands, soon Tianjia Village around all over the wear, Tian family also became a celebrity in ten miles and eight towns.

There is even a winner who even said that the newly built house built by the Tian family was because the Tian family had overcollected a season of grain, and after selling the grain, they had the money to build such a magnificent blue brick house. There are many good deeds who even regard the situation of the Tian family as a strange thing and spread it in Niangniang Town. For a while, the people in Niangniang Town were shocked.

This matter was heard by the mother-in-law of the county order family who bought vegetables in the vegetable market, and this mother-in-law was a powerful person in front of the county lady, in order to make the county lady happy, she added oil and vinegar to the affairs of the Tian family in front of the county lady and said it again and again.

At dinner, the county magistrate's wife told the county magistrate about the Tian family's affairs as an interesting matter, and she did not add oil or vinegar to it. However, the county order is not the mother-in-law who buys vegetables and the county lady, these housewives, after listening to the lady's words, the county order immediately grasped the point, you are double cropping rice. Considering that if the Tian family's harvest is harvested by one more season, it will be a real increase in a lot of grain. These years have been smooth and rainy, and there has been no war. People may have long forgotten the days when they were short of food and clothing in the war with the north.

If the Tian family's method is really successful and popularized, the overharvest will not be tens of catties or hundreds of catties of grain, but tens of thousands of catties of grain. It can be regarded as a big thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the imperial court will have to reward it at that time, but this is still secondary, and the most important thing is that the border soldiers in the north do not have to tighten their belts to live.

Speaking of this county order surnamed Ma Mingshang, once was born in the barracks, although he was not a general in the early years, but also commanded a battalion, in order for his subordinates to have a full stomach, Ma Shang did not find less trouble with the people above, but this north also has a harvest in a year, and the cost of farmers is not much, and half of the grain is paid as a tax, and there is not much left.

In the Wu Dynasty, it was stipulated that half of the taxes paid by the counties near the border should be paid to the soldiers, and the other half should be paid to the state treasury. Although the northern border pass is large, it is small in people. There are many hills, and there is little production. The four nearby counties together have about 200,000 people, but only a little over 100,000 actually farm. It is conceivable that half of the grain is enough for hundreds of thousands of people in the barracks, and the soldiers can only eat half full but have nothing to do.

Ma Shang was later injured in the war, so he made this county order, and always wanted to solve the problem of food at the border pass, so when he heard about the Tian family, the first thing he thought of was that the soldiers at the border pass did not need to go hungry.

Thinking of this, it seemed that he immediately thought that the border soldiers were not starving and cold, so he immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to the county woman: "If there is something, Mrs. eat slowly!" He immediately summoned his subordinates and asked them to inquire about the Tian family.

The subordinates listened to the words of the county order, and immediately began to inquire about the Tian family, and reported to the county order early the next morning.

"My lord, Gu inquired about the news, this Tianjia is a farmer in Tianjia Village, the head of the family Tian Luo, I heard that the rice planting began in April, harvested in July, and then transplanted at the end of July, and now it is harvested again at the end of October! What is the specific harvest, how many rumors there are, and how many subordinates are unknown! The official clenched his fists and reported to Ma County Ling to inquire about the news returned.

Ma Shang listened to the reply, waved his hand to let the servants go down, but in his heart he was thinking about the Tian family, it seems that the Tian family did harvest two seasons, but the harvest of these two seasons is not easy to say. If we can confirm that the harvest of the two crops of the Tian family is good, then there are ready-made examples, and it is good to implement double cropping rice. In Ma Shang's heart, he didn't think at all whether the Tian family was willing to hand over the double-cropping rice.

Ma Shang was restless all day, 7 was not in the mood to deal with business, and he had been thinking about the double cropping rice, and he had no choice but to make a private visit to the county order, so he had to find out the harvest of the Tian family's double rice.

It's just that I didn't expect that when the county magistrate was about to go out the next day, Dr. Xu came to visit. Because he has been friends with Dr. Xu for many years, the county commander is afraid that there will not be enough time to go back and forth in one day, so it is convenient for Xu Ming to explain the reason and prepare to go out.

But I didn't expect Xu Ming to hear that Tian Luo of Tianjia Village, isn't it Xiao Xia Zhi's house, originally Xu Ming was looking for the county order to get together, but he didn't expect the county order to go out, and he still went to Tian's house.

Ma Shangzhi said that Xu Ming knew the Tian family, and even invited Xu Ming to join him, and it would be good to talk to the Tian family when the time came. In this way, Xu Ming followed the county order to Tianjia Village, what Dr. Xu didn't expect, just arrived at the entrance of Tianjia Village, and encountered the summer solstice of ducks.

"Come on, Grandpa Xu, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't believe that you will be willing to leave your medical hall alone and run to our poor and remote place!"

Xia Zhi rolled his eyes, obviously not believing what Xu Ming said, Xia Zhi had known Doctor Xu for not a day or two, why hadn't he run to Tianjia Village before. When I said that I was going to run and it was spring, everything was reviving to step on the green, and I also said that in the past, this is about to enter winter, and I won't come to see this withered yellow leaf!

"Ha Lu Ha ......, I said Lao Xu, even a little girl knows you so well, it's not like you didn't plan to run at the beginning!" As soon as Xia Zhi's words fell, another person got down from the carriage and smiled at Dr. Xu.

"Don't laugh at me, this little girl is a ghost, after a long time, you will know the way, she is not something that ordinary people can fool!" Xu Ming didn't care if he was ridiculed, but took a few steps forward and patted the little head of Xia Zhi.

"Grandpa Xu, is this a compliment to me, or a belittlement of me!" Xia Zhi was pouted by Dr. Xu's words.

"Ha Lu Ha...... Naturally, I praise you, Xiao Xia Zhi is so smart that he can't stand it, this is your grandfather Ma, who is my old friend like last time! What about your grandpa and daddy? Xu Ming first winked at Xia Zhi, and then introduced the person who spoke just now to Xia Zhi.

"Hello Grandpa Ma, my grandpa and grandpa are busy in the fields, so I'll let my sister call someone! You and Grandpa Xu will go to the house first, drink tea, and rest! "Xia Zhi said hello obediently, indicating that Lao Luotou and Tian Laosi were busy. Let the two of them go for a cup of tea.

However, Dr. Xu got Ma Shang's instructions, and Ma Shang heard that the family was busy in the field again, so he immediately glanced at Xu Ming, meaning that we should also go to the field to have a look, so Dr. Xu said: "Don't bother, Grandpa Xu came this time just to have a look in your field!" You don't have to go in, we'll go to your grandpa! Although Xu Ming was instructed by Ma Shang, he also treated the Tian family sincerely, especially Xiao Xia Zhi. The plausible remarks made the purpose of their trip clear.

Xia Zhi glanced at Dr. Xu strangely, and without saying a word, he took the two of them to the Tian family, Xia Zhi actually guessed that what he wanted to see was probably his own double-cropping rice, and the person to see was probably not Dr. Xu but Grandpa Ma who came with him, but no matter what the reason was, with Dr. Xu's kindness to the Tian family, even if she gave this technique to the Tian family, Xia Zhi must not have frowned.

"Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Ma, here, my grandpa and grandma are harvesting rice here" Xia Zhi pointed ahead, in the direction of the Tian family's land.

Xu Ming and Ma Shang looked up, and saw a piece of bare land, only a few fields of rice in the middle had not been cut, and the people of the Tian family were bending down to cut the rice at this time......

Xia Zhi led the two of them forward, and shouted from a distance of dozens of steps: "Grandpa, look who's coming!" ”

The Tian family shouted in Xia Zhi's voice, and they all raised their heads and looked over here, but although the Li family, the Lin family, and the Liu family Zheng were like thunder to Xu Ming, they didn't see anyone in real person, they only saw Xia Zhi followed by two people, but they didn't know who they were.

Presumably, the woman of the Tian family, the person from the Tian family, is very familiar with Xu Ming, and after walking away from a few dozen steps, she recognized that the person following Xia Zhi was not Dr. Xu, Lao Luotou put the rice in his hand and greeted him. (To be continued......)
