After only half a day's work, Bu Yuyan became familiar with Qing Shu, and she didn't care about talking, and asked curiously: "By the way, what are you doing with those agricultural books at a girl's house?" ”

Qing Shu didn't hide it from her, "The situation in the house is not good, and it is all supported by the grange outside the city." In recent years, whether it is wheat or miscellaneous grains, the output is not high. There was no support from my father and brother in the house, and I didn't know how to farm, so I thought of buying agricultural books to read, and maybe I could learn something useful, so that I could collect more grain in the field and improve the current situation. ”

In fact, not only the grain output of Gujia Grange is not high, but the grain output is generally not high throughout the country. In addition, there were constant wars in the frontiers, a large demand for grain and grass, floods in some areas in the south last year, and severe drought in some areas in the north, which made the Da'an Dynasty short of food, and thousands of people starved to death in the areas where the disaster was severe.

In order to solve the problem of food shortage, the emperor issued a new decree this year. In order to encourage farming and encourage the people to open up wasteland, the national tax on existing land will be reduced by 10% for a period of two years. In areas that have not been affected by the disaster, land cultivated and cleared shall be paid one stone of grain for every five acres of land every year, and other taxes and miscellaneous labor shall be exempted for a period of three years; Last year, the disaster-stricken areas were cleared for planting and were exempted from taxes and miscellaneous labor for a period of five years.

Nowadays, the main economic source of the ancient mansion is a hundred acres of grange, Qingshu of course has to pay attention to the dynamics of agriculture and taxation, try to increase the yield of farmland, if conditions permit, she also wants to take the opportunity to open up some wasteland for planting. As for Tao Nongshu, the first is to understand the planting structure and species of the Da'an Dynasty, the second is to make a pretext for the big moves he is going to take in planting, and the third is to experiment and explore ways to increase grain production in combination with various factors such as climate.

She wants to improve her life reasonably and step by step, instead of unreasonably changing directly from a deep lady to a farmer who is good at cropping, and is burned to death as a demon and monster. Everything needs to be reasonable, you can be smart, you can reach heights in practice that others can't reach, but you can't become a monster in the eyes of the world. In addition, due to the influence of many factors such as soil, climate, sunlight, rain, etc., farming is not as simple as copying modern things.

It's just that she didn't expect that her first experimental field was not in the Grange on the outskirts of the capital, but in the homeland of her late father thousands of miles away. Therefore, the world is impermanent, plans are not as fast as changes, and people are often not as good as heaven.

Bu Yuyan didn't leave until noon, and she only walked reluctantly when Xiao Xing was urging three times and four times.

Qing Shu didn't know that the first thing Bu Yuyan did after returning home was to pester her father and brothers in the capital to collect agricultural books for her, which helped her a lot.

In the afternoon, Li Dalang drove the carriage to pick up Qingyang from school and returned home.

Qingshu hurriedly came to the front yard to pick up Qingyang, but saw Yuanbao, who was covered in dust and had a blue nose and swollen face, picking up the curtain of the car and waiting for Qingyang to get out of the car. Her doubts turned into anger when she saw Qingyang, who got out of the car with broken corners of his mouth, half of his face swollen, and covered in dust, and his eyes shot sharply at Yuanbao, and her voice unconsciously became a little louder, "What's the matter?" ”

Qingyang's little body shook subconsciously, bit his lip and lowered his head listlessly, and did not answer.

Yuan Bao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a puff, lay on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "Miss spare her life, she is a little incompetent, she can't protect the young master, Miss spare her life." ”

At this time, Qingyang plucked up his courage, moved to stand in front of the ingots with difficulty, and said cautiously: "Sister, don't send Xiaoyang to study, okay?" Xiaoyang, Xiaoyang doesn't like it. After a pause, "Don't blame the ingots, the ingots are right, sister don't punish the ingots, okay?" ”

Mother Su, who was trotting all the way over after getting the news, saw the situation in front of her, didn't care about Qingshu, and hugged Qingyang in her arms with a distressed face, "Young master, does it hurt?" It's that damn Ding Tianci again, right? Without waiting for Qingyang to answer, he counted his own son who was kneeling on the ground, "Yuanbao, how did you protect the young master?" How did the young master get hurt like this? ”

Qing Shu took a deep breath and told himself to calm down, "Mother Su, things haven't been clarified yet, don't scold Yuanbao yet." Who is Ding Tianci? She heard it, Su's mother used the word "again", indicating that Ding Tianci in Su's mother's mouth must not be the first time to hit Qingyang.

Mother Su let go of Qingyang with a gloomy expression, and replied to Qingshu, "It's the young master in the mansion of Lord Ding Zeding next door." Then he said: "Miss, the old slave will take the young master to rub the medicine." ”

Qing Shu was ruthless, waved his hand, refused, and then asked softly, "Yuanbao, Li Dalang, you will tell you about today's events in detail." "My brother's temperament is too soft, his timidity is too small, as a boy, it's not good, and he must change.

It turned out that the left neighbor of the ancient mansion was Ding Ze's mansion. Ding Ze is forty-seven years old this year, and he was born with a mean face. Although he is a businessman, he has his cousin-in-law General Hu as a backer behind him, but he is also very popular in the capital, and he walks in the wind. He is a merry businessman with countless wives and concubines in the house, but he has never come out. When he was forty years old, he cried and laughed with joy, and after a few days of madness, he named his son. It is logical that Ding Tianci, the only heir in the house, has become the only treasure in the Ding Mansion.

Ding Tianci is seven years old this year, and he is an arrogant and willful, bullying fat man. Because he has too much flesh on his face and is young, he reluctantly weakens the meanness inherited from his father a little. The ancient mansion and the Ding mansion lived next to each other, and Gu Yunhu occasionally walked around when he was alive, but he was not close. After Gu Yunhu's death, only women and children were left in the mansion, and in order to avoid suspicion, the movement of the ancient mansion and the Ding mansion was completely cut off.

As time went by, the ancient mansion became more and more depressed, and Ding Ze was very angry that there was such a poor neighbor as the ancient mansion. However, he only dared to scold at home, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense outside.

Gu Qingyang was five and a half years old, and the housekeeper Gu Qiang sent him to study at Weiran Academy. Coincidentally, Ding Ze also sent his son to Weiran Academy. Gu Qingyang is the same age as Ding Tianci and is assigned to a class.

At first, it was okay, but half a year later, Ding Tianci began to bully Qingyang, at first he just hid Qingyang's books, or laughed at Qingyang by drawing a cat's face.

On the day Gu Qingshu fell into the water, Ding Tianci was not satisfied with just playing tricks on Gu Qingyang, so he teamed up with the other two children to catch Gu Qingyang and beat him. Yuan Bao saw that his young master was being beaten, and stepped forward to stop him, but was caught by Ding Tianci's little guy and beaten for a while. In this way, both the master and servant were colored.

Gu Qingshu here had a high fever and fell unconscious, and Gu Qingyang, who was beaten during the day, also had a fever at night, which made the entire house turn on their backs.

The original Gu Qingshu didn't care about his younger brother, of course he didn't know this. Of course, Qing Shu, who inherited the memories of his predecessor, didn't know this. The sister and brother got closer, Qingshu asked Qingyang why he didn't go to the school, and Qingyang only vaguely said that he was sick and didn't go. Qing Shu saw that he was thin and pale, and he did not doubt him. Unexpectedly, the truth is like this.

After nearly twenty days, Qingyang returned to the school, and Ding Tianci saw it, and he kept smiling ill-intentionedly. When they were about to get out of school, Ding Tianci and their respective families around them, a total of six or seven people, robbed Qingyang and Yuanbao to a place where no one was around.

Qing Shu jokingly said to Qingyang two days ago that a man must be brave, and if someone else calls, he must fight back. Qingyang remembered it, remembered it firmly, so he uncharacteristically resisted hard, and fought with six or seven people with Yuanbao.

They made a lot of noise, and soon the master came, and the master didn't ask the reason and didn't listen to Qingyang's explanation, and Qingyang was directly removed from Weiran Academy, that is, Qingyang was forced to drop out of school.

Qingyang was very scared because he was removed from the fight, afraid that his sister would be angry and ignore him, so he was trembling and cowardly
