The light rain has been falling for many days, and the spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the whole Guanzhong is smiling because of this face-to-face spring rain. Sufficient moisture means that crops will grow better after spring planting, and it also indicates that this year will be a good year with good weather and good weather.

Rain in spring is more precious than in summer, seeds germinate faster when planted in the ground, and strong seedlings are too fragile and need more water to nourish them. As long as the spring rain is more diligent, even if the summer rain is not outrageous, a heavy harvest is inevitable.

The simple people worship Fang Jun as a god, and they firmly believe that Fang Jun is the god of "Ten Thousand Families Born Buddha", otherwise how can they explain that in the past there were either drought or waterlogging, God always fought against the croppers, but after Fang Jun took office as Jing Zhaoyin, the wind and rain were smooth. Want the wind to get the wind and the rain to get the rain?

A simple carriage slowly passed through the path that winded between the trees, the poplars on both sides had just pulled out their tender yellow branches, the rain was dripping, the air was moist, and the mountains and forests were quiet and serene, except for the occasional bird frightened by the sound of horses' hooves, fluttering its wings from the treetops, coiling in the mountains.

Wei Zheng lifted the curtain, and a fresh air full of earthy smell instantly poured into his nose, and he took a greedy breath, as if the pain of all his internal organs had been washed away.

The road surface is paved with cement, washed clean by the rain, and there is no longer the situation of potholes and mud when the mountain road encounters rain, smooth and soothing, and the carriage sways leisurely on it, without even feeling the slightest bump.

Wei Zheng hung the curtain on the hook, and let the cold mountain breeze carry the slightest rain into the carriage, reached out and picked up a small silver wine jug placed on the side, pulled the stopper, and poured a sip of spirits.

"Ahem, cough, cough" The chest cavity seemed to be burned by a scorching flame, and the cold in the body was instantly dispelled, but the weak body that had been on the hospital bed for many days couldn't bear the burning sensation and coughed violently.

The driver was taken aback, quickly slowed down the car, looked back at Wei Zheng in the carriage and said worriedly: "How is the head of the house?" ”

Wei Zheng waved his hand, gasped for breath, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The traffic jam was relieved, the whip in his hand was raised high and a whip flower was raised, and a crisp sound sounded in mid-air, and the healthy horse pulling the cart took a cheerful step and gradually accelerated along the mountain road.

The mountain road turned a bend in front, the mountain forest suddenly thinned, as far as the eye could see, the whole hillside gently extended towards the Weishui in the distance, a large area of fertile land spread horizontally between the heaven and the earth, there were farmers ploughing cattle to work on it.

The farmers are wearing hats and robes, and they are busy plowing the ground with the ploughing oxen pulling the "Zhenguan plow". When the rain is dripping, the moist soil is turned up in large pieces, and the water is tightly pressed under the soil layer, and when the spring ploughing begins in a few days, the seeds planted can absorb more water, germinate faster, and grow faster.

For an official who always puts the people of the world in his heart, there is nothing more gratifying and happy than the scene in front of him......

Wei Zheng was in high spirits, leaned against the car window and asked, "Whose field is this?" ”

The coachman straightened up slightly on the wheels to make his vision better, looked at both sides, and said: "It should be the field of Jingzhao Yin Fang Jun's family, the year before last, the snow disaster in Guanzhong, hundreds of people were displaced, and thousands of victims were received by Fang Jun and placed here." His Majesty gave Fang Jun and a lot of land, and he bought a large number of wasteland with the imperial court, after careful care, those wastelands that were originally gravel and hard thatch have become first-class fertile land, feeding thousands of homeless victims, and now this is the richest Zhuangzi around Chang'an, I don't know how many people look at it. ”

Obviously, the coachman admired and admired Fang Jun's actions, and his words were inevitably mixed with undisguised kindness.

Then, the coachman stood on the wheel of the car and pointed to the continuous greenhouses on the side of the mountain, and said with a smile: "You see, there is the greenhouse of the Fang family, and the Fang family grows vegetables in the winter and sells them on the market, even the vegetables can be sold at a sky-high price, and they really make a lot of money." In the spring, the seedlings are raised in the greenhouse, and the rice seeds are planted in the spring ploughing of other families, while the seedlings are planted by the Fang family, so the annual yield is one of the best in Guanzhong. ”

Wei Zheng looked out from the car window, and sure enough, the greenhouses in Shanyang were close together, and there were countless rows of them. If the transparent glass is under the sun, it will inevitably shine and dazzle.

I secretly admired in my heart, Fang Jun, this kid is really a big deal, just so many greenhouses, planting vegetables in winter is a daily gold, and raising seedlings in spring can increase the yield of the field by half, and it is unreasonable for people not to get rich!

Wei Zheng was interested, and waved his hand at the coachman: "Fang Jun's house is not doing his job, he is handing over all the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion to his subordinates, and he is hiding in Zhuangzi to enjoy Qingfu, which is really not like words!" Seeing that it's noon, let's go and see if Fang Jun is here, if so, just rub a meal to eat. ”

The coachman opened his mouth wide and looked at his master with round eyes, thinking that he was having auditory hallucinations......

Wei Zheng went to someone else's house to eat?

Are you kidding!

Who doesn't know that this waiter is one of the most selfless people in the world, and he refuses to accept half a penny in ordinary times, and actually wants to go to someone else's house to eat?

Looking at the coachman's egg-like expression, Wei Zheng was not displeased, and said with a smile: "You don't know, Fang Jun is the best at enjoyment, he doesn't get tired of eating, he doesn't get tired of being fine, and he is famous, and the most ordinary ingredients are the delicacy of the world through his preparation." Go quickly, go quickly, the old man is already impatient! ”

The coachman was speechless......

Is this still the upright and upright head of his own family?

However, the head of the family had an order, even if he was in doubt, he had to wave his whip and drive the carriage along a fork in the cement road towards the greenhouse in the sun.

On the side of the road, an old farmer was taking off the hat on his head, picking up a gourd placed on the ground, holding the mouth of the gourd, and pouring a large mouthful of water down with his head up. Then he exhaled a long sigh, raised his hand to wipe the sweat and rain mixed on his forehead, and looked at the grandson in the field who was plowing the ground with a plough stick to drive the ploughing oxen, and his old eyes were full of relief.

The grandson's slightly thin body held the big plough stick, and the sturdy plough ox in front of him walked unhurriedly with its tail flicked, and the fine iron plough was polished by the earth, ploughing through the land, and behind him was a straight ridge.

"Well, I'm not very old, but I have a really good way of plowing the ground."

An old voice sounded in his ears, startling the old farmer. Looking back, there was an old man in plain clothes standing behind him, and a plainly decorated carriage was parked on the cement road not far away.

After saying this, the old man squinted his eyes and looked at the young man plowing the field with a smile, and his expression was very happy.

The old farmer hurriedly bowed down and said respectfully: "I have seen Xuan Chenggong." ”

Xuan Cheng is the word of Wei Zheng, and the people love this upright and upright Qing official who dares to provoke the emperor, so he is called Xuan Chenggong.

Wei Zheng was slightly surprised: "Does the old man recognize the old man?" ”

The old farmer flattened his body and said with a smile: "Who in the world doesn't know the iron-faced and selfless Xuan Chenggong?" ”

Wei Zheng laughed, didn't dwell on the matter, and pointed to the young man who was controlling the plough stick in the field with interest: "Grandson? ”

"Yes, I am thirteen this year, and in two years, I will be able to start a family, marry a wife and have children, and continue the incense."

The old farmer's wrinkled face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Yes, if you have this kind of style at a young age, you will definitely be an excellent farmer in the future."

"No, no, no, Xuan Chenggong misunderstood, but there are only two of my ancestors and grandchildren in the family, and the spring ploughing is busy, and the old man is really too busy, so he took a farm vacation in the school and went home to help with the handle. After the spring ploughing, I still have to go back to school. Our old man has been farming all his life, and that's it, but our grandson is praised by the gentlemen in the school, he writes well, and his knowledge is also first-class, even Fang Erlang said that he will recommend a future to serve the country in the future, and he is also an official meal! ”

The old peasant's old eyes were burning and shining, his rickety body was straightened, and his words were slowly full of pride and pride.

Now it was Wei Zheng's turn to be surprised!

"But the old man looks at this young man's style, it is not like a scholar can do it, even a farmer with many years of experience is just like this."

Could it be that this kid is a genius at farming?
