Chapter 264: The Township Test is Approaching
"Boss, do you have the bottom in your heart, my heart is pounding! How many people are watching? ”
Wu Pan's father said: "I'm afraid of the ball, our family doesn't live on these acres of land now, the little rabbit cub eats Mr. Man's house, lives in Mr. Man's house, this time I went back to Chang'an to take your son with me, maybe I can still get a little bit of Hou Ye's temperament, even if I don't accept it, it's nothing." "A typical hard mouth, maybe I'm more worried than my daughter-in-law?
"Then you're digging! What are you waiting for, just after eating you won't say you're hungry and bored. ”
Wu Pan's words were heard by the surrounding villagers, and they coaxed: "Central Plains, this will be boring, it's okay, and if you don't have energy at night, you'll be finished." ”
Wu Zhongyuan said: "Child, mother, if you come to dig, your farm work is better than mine." ”
The husband and wife have no confidence, the common people will not joke about their own land, a year's harvest represents whether they can survive this winter safely, the nearby village Wu Pan family believed the words of the Lu family, and the others held a wait-and-see attitude.
Xu Da came over and said, "What are you two afraid of?" If any of you have ever seen the master of the house pit you for a penny, give me a hoe. This was said to the villagers, Xu Da still admired the courage of Wu Pan's father, not everyone is willing to gamble with five acres of land.
Xu Da lifted the vine hard, Wu Pan's father looked at him nervously, and suddenly Xu Da fell to the back, and everyone saw that the vine couldn't bear the pressure and broke it, this suspense is really big.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't have much hope for sweet potatoes, but his wife paid a lot, and he had nothing to do at night to take a look, for fear of being stolen, people have a characteristic that they always have certain illusions in their hearts, and buying lottery tickets is a truth.
Xu Da opened a mouthful of yellow teeth and said: "Don't be nervous, my hand slipped just now, to borrow the words of our family master, it is about to be time to witness the miracle, open your eyes wide." ”
Out of the hoe and shaved the edge, this time it didn't take much effort to pull it out, the rhizome was connected with the three largest, seeing that one of them weighed four catties, not counting those about a catty, under the rapid breathing of the villagers, Xu Da continued to dig near the vines, and finally dug out two large and countless small ones.
Wu Zhongyuan stammered and asked, "Brother Xu, can you eat all of these?" ”
"Of course you can eat it! You can't eat this thing for anything. After speaking, he picked a finger-thick one, wiped it with the placket of his clothes, put it in his mouth and rattled it, nodded after eating and said: "It's very sweet, go back and bake it, and eat it steaming." ”
The husband and wife were overjoyed, the two of them rolled up their sleeves, pouted their butts, didn't eat at noon, and finally finished harvesting an acre of land in the afternoon, looking at this gratifying harvest of the envious eyes of the villagers, Wu Zhongyuan secretly made up his mind, and followed Zhuangzi in the future, Hou Ye is a god-like person, wrong, Hou Ye is a god, and it is appropriate to estimate two thousand catties with his eyes.
Zeng Gongliang, who rushed to hear the wind, was more nervous than anyone else, he was afraid that this was a scam, and it was a person with a heart who deliberately made Xiangrui to deceive the emperor's gift, he picked up a hoe and picked a nest of leaves and dug it down with green, the result was more than Wu Zhongyuan dug out, he dug four or five in a row, the number is not much different, he believes it now, it is true.
"What's your name, these crops are left here for the time being, and the county government will compensate your family according to the normal price of grain."
It is a law that the people are afraid of officials, and it is the first time for Wu Zhongyuan to see this kind of official, let alone speak, he only said resignedly: "Yes, my lord." ”
Wu Pan and his mother disagreed, how can you be like this, let you take it away with a word after all your hard work, then my efforts this year are not in vain, and I am not afraid of you when this lawsuit is fought.
"At what price is the adult, how to compensate the law, we are honest, but there is no bullying like your yamen."
Zeng Gongliang said: "One pound to one pound of compensation, wheat and rice can be, you see what you want, the old man can't do this kind of untrustworthy thing, my name is Zeng Gongliang, the stay in Luoyang, Xijing, if you are not at ease, I can write you a note." ”
"We are a small family, and it is better for adults to write a note, and our family can't afford to make mistakes."
Lao Zeng's face was blushing when a farmer said it, and at this time, a steward from the Lu family's Zhuangzi came out and said: "Master Zeng will give it if he wants, and if the government doesn't give it to Zhuangzi, it will make up for your family, so rest assured!" Of course, I suggest that your family ask for half of the wheat and half of the rice. ”
Wu Zhongyuan recognized the steward, nodded and said: "Very relieved, this lord, I will listen to him, you will weigh and give me half of the wheat and half of the rice after digging." ”
Zeng Gongliang arranged manpower overnight, and dug up five acres of land in more than two hours, looking at the mountain-like sweet potatoes, the shock in his heart can be imagined, he wanted to fly back to the capital to report the good news to the emperor.
Lujia Zhuangzi spent more than a year cultivating sweet potato seedlings, the specific yield in the experimental field can not explain the problem, the experimental field here is carefully planted, fertilized, weeded, no seeds under various conditions, but Wu Zhongyuan's family he found out clearly, no fertilizer, is watered once, or the kind of watering at will.
"My lord, the weight is out, five thousand five hundred and ninety catties, Xia Guan feels that he is still living in a dream, and the yield per mu is close to ten stones, I have heard of this kind of grain for the first time."
Zeng Gongliang said: "Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Ezhou have come to the news of three seasons of rice, it is estimated that the previous year did not reach ten stones, and now two seasons have been harvested, six stones, you have seen this thing, and there may be more if you serve it carefully." ”
"How are you going to write a recital, write it truthfully."
"Write truthfully, no one may believe it on this point, if you lie again, maybe no one will take the credit, let people be optimistic about here, maintain the status quo, I will write an urgent report to the emperor."
If Lu Zifei knew the news, he might say, "I can still double this production"
"What are you doing in and out these days with a few small ones, and the grain that has been brought in has gone there." Xue Ning asked.
Lu Zifei said: "Isn't your old man rare grandchildren? How do I think of your son and daughter? ”
Said weakly: "Mother, you used to sleep with me at night, but now that you have Xiao Junxiang, you don't sleep with me anymore." ”
Xue Ning said: "If the big wings are hard, forget it, I can't control the small ones, and I will turn against you." ”
The brother and sister just laughed, anyway, they didn't answer your words, Lu Li came out from behind and said, "Madam, I heard Xiao Junxiang crying, is he alone in the house." ”
The heart of the flesh cried and repaid, and said to himself as he walked: "When I left, it was half a summer!" Is it old and has a bad memory? ”
The brother and sister laughed like a bear stealing honey, and they didn't forget to give a thumbs up to their father, Lu Li asked: "How about the wine you brewed, the smell of Xifeng wine is too strong, your mother's nose is smart, you can smell it when you smell it." ”
"Father, don't be impatient, I estimate that the time is almost up, is the ice ready?"
Lu Li said: "It's all ready, I've thought of everything you can think of for you, you move quickly." ”
When I opened the lid of the barrel, a familiar 9-degree smell greeted me, and Lu Zifei's face was filled with an intoxicated look, this is my favorite! The liquor is too strong, he doesn't like it very much, the beer doesn't matter, the skewers and beer, a perfect match.
Scooped a little with a spoon and tasted it, the time was too short or not mellow enough, if it was left for another three or five days, the taste would be better, Lu Li pushed away his son and poured it all directly, the taste of the newly brewed wine was a little chaotic, so it was not so delicious.
"There are some peculiar smells, it should be because the tank has just been opened, it is not strong at all, it is suitable for people with a small amount of alcohol to drink, and people with a large amount of alcohol are not enough for them to drink!"
Lu Zifei said with a smile: "It is worthy of the old rivers and lakes, this wine is usually drunk during meals, and it is easy to get drunk when drinking liquor, so there is no problem with this wine, drinking one or two bottles will not affect your work and normal life." ”
Lu Li said: "I still don't feel energetic, maybe I'm not used to it." ”
"My son will definitely let you get used to it, tonight our family will eat roast whole sheep, I'll go and ice these barrels of wine first."
Liang Shi stood respectfully behind Zhao Zhen and Fan Zhongyan, and Zhao Zhen said: "Liang Aiqing, do you have any regulations for this year's Autumn Festival?" It's still the same as the last ceremony. ”
Liang Shi glanced at Fan Zhongyan and said: "This year's exam questions for the Autumn Festival have been released, and two sets have been prepared, and the person who presides over the Autumn Festival and how much tribute to take are still up to the emperor to decide." ”
"What does Fan Xiang think? Who do you think is the right person to preside? ”
Fan Zhongyan said: "Ouyang Xiu is suitable in the imperial history, and his status in the literary world is enough. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Ouyang Xiu! He can indeed do it, but if he goes to preside over Qiuqiu, there will be no one in the Yushitai to preside over the work, so let's change someone! ”
Fan Zhongyan's heart was shocked, and he still said quietly on his face: "Who does the emperor think is suitable?" ”
"Let the head of the household go to Fumihiko! The household department has not had anything to do lately, and as for the number of people, you and others should refer to it and report it in detail. ”
Fan Zhongyan thought in his heart that this was an exchange? Does the emperor want to let the old-fashioned people preside over the ceremony, and the number of people who change the law will be involved in each other?
Liang Shi also couldn't understand Zhao Zhen's approach, in his opinion, this kind of exchange was meaningless, and there were clear regulations in the imperial court, and candidates were not allowed to recognize the invigilator as a teacher, because this was also a form of partisanship.
The township examination in July is the admission ticket for you to get the entrance examination, and a large number of non-local students have returned to their hometowns to sharpen their knives and want to prove their ten years of hard study.
The township examination must have a local official or a previous person to vouch for you, Lu Zifei's guarantee is on Pang Ji's desk, he wants to wait for that kid to get it, and now there are a few days left, this uncle has not come, so he can only let people send it over.
