Chapter 4: Spring Comes Night

After the crossing, the issue of identity is more important.

Some people become masters after crossing, and some people become emperors after crossing, and no matter how bad they are, they also have a golden finger.

This is especially true in troubled times!

People live for a lifetime, and plants and trees for an autumn. It doesn't matter whether it's sad or not, many things are just different moods.

If you want to live beautifully, you must live clearly. If you are not free in your mind, no one can get spiritual liberation.

Mei Xiaohan opened her eyes and looked at the world, calm and full of anticipation.

"Identity issues?"

Just as he was thinking about it, someone replied: "Young Master of the Mei family! It's not early, it's time to go back to Meifu! ”

Hearing this voice, the muscles at the corners of Mei Xiaohan's mouth moved twice, and next to him was a green rice field, although it was not "six or seven miles of grass paving across the field", it was relatively considerable.

"Where am I?"

Mei Xiaohan didn't plan to be pretentious, so she naturally wanted to know the era, identity, and place she was in.

"This is the Mei family's farm!"

"Young Master Mei said to himself that he was going out for a walk... The second dog will accompany you all the way! ”

As he said this, the servant, who claimed to be the son of the second dog, stroked his hair with his hand.

"Raozhou"

"The mountain has the benefit of the foothills, and the Ze has the rao of the catfish" and the name of the state.

Raozhou is located in the northeast of Jiangxi, and Poyang has the reputation of "Raozhou Mansion, the meeting of seven counties, and the fish and rice township in the south of Jingxiu".

At this time, it was the first year of Qingli in 1041 AD, the third month of the lunar calendar.

In the past few years, many major events have occurred in this parallel world where Mei Xiaohan lives that affect the development of the world.

A few years ago, that is, in the first year of Baoyuan, in 1038 AD, Li Yuanhao, a member of the Dangxiang clan, was proclaimed emperor, the founding name was Daxia, and the capital was Xingqing, and diplomatic relations with the Song Dynasty were officially broken. In the following year, in order to force the Song Dynasty to recognize the status of Western Xia, Li Yuanhao led his troops to invade the border of the Northern Song Dynasty, defeated the Song soldiers at Sanchuankou, and gathered troops under the city of Yanzhou, preparing to attack the city. When the news reached Jingshi, the government and the opposition were shocked.

"Mei Gongzi?"

The servant tugged at the sleeve of Lame's shirt and reminded him to go home. Mei Xiaohan came out of a trance, looked at the world full of green, and said, "It's not bad, I didn't become a homeless person, I am a death row prisoner!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said, the servant was naturally puzzled, but the servant didn't ask a word, and led Mei Xiaohan to "Mei Mansion!" ”

It is said that it is Meifu, but in fact it is just a thatched house, in name only, just an extra plaque, whether it is a declining nobleman, Mei Xiaohan does not know.

Walked into the house, poured a glass of boiled water, and began to pour it into the stomach with a clatter, and everything settled into the stomach with the boiled water.

"Take a break! The day was too tiring. ”

Mei Xiaohan still hasn't figured out many things, and when she travels into this world, she naturally has a hint of excitement.

"This is the Plum Mansion?" Mei Xiaohan asked.

The servant said: "Young Master Mei, this is indeed the Mei Mansion!" ”

Mei Xiaohan reluctantly admitted it, and didn't care about her living environment. It was an awkward time, a literati's paradise. At the same time, it is also a complicated time.

The family has more than 10 acres of fertile land, dozens of acres of paddy fields and dry land, and hundreds of cattle, sheep, mules and horses. Although the thatched hut where he lives looks a little simpler, with these family backgrounds, he doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

It's the season of transplanting and sowing again, the spring breeze is warm, and the mulberry seedlings should be planted.

The greatest desire is that there will be fewer natural disasters and less taxes, so I will prostrate and pray for blessings.

"Is the dryland still rented out this year?"

"Does the cultivation of paddy fields still make the villagers settle down with the land?"

The Mei family is not a big family, but it is a relatively powerful head of household near and far.

"You tell me all the property in the family, I'm making a careful calculation!"

Mei Xiaohan spoke, and the second dog just nodded and said: "Mei Shao should also take care of his family, although the Mei family is not as good as before, but these fields at home really need to be taken care of!" ”

"Young Master Mei has grown up!"

The second dog got up on his own and said, "I can also give the master an explanation!" ”

"Gather all the farmers who want to rent the Mei family's fields, I want to meet them!"

During the period of Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu, it was popularized from Fujian in Jianghuai, Liangzhejiang and other roads to Zhancheng rice, which is early-maturing, drought-tolerant, fine-grained, suitable for the field of high Yang, and has a certain effect on preventing drought damage in the southeast and other places.

At the moment, this rice is being promoted throughout the country.

Champa rice is a high-yielding, early-maturing, drought-tolerant rice variety produced in the Indochina Peninsula, which was introduced to China during the Song Dynasty and quickly spread in the Jiangnan region. Champa rice is named after its place of origin, which is located in present-day south-central Vietnam. Champa rice, also known as Zaohe or Zhanhe, is an early indica rice native to south-central Vietnam, and was first introduced to the Fujian region of China in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. According to ancient Chinese records, Champa rice has many characteristics. One is "drought tolerance". The second is strong adaptability, "born regardless of location". Third, the growth period is short, only more than 50 days from planting to harvesting.

Champa rice is a kind of high-quality rice during the Song Dynasty. The Champa people cultivated a kind of fine rice, which was introduced to the Fujian region of China in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. In 1011, Song Zhenzong sent an envoy to Fujian to take Zhancheng rice due to drought and lack of water in the Jianghuai and Zhejiang regions, as many as 30,000 Hu, which were promoted in the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and the two Zhejiang regions, and ordered the transfer envoy to post the list "...... Compared with the Chinese, the rice has a long ear without mangs, and the grain difference is small, and it is born without choosing the place."

Champa rice in the Song Dynasty was a typical exotic crop variety in ancient China. It was introduced to Fujian in the late Tang Dynasty and then spread northward under the leadership of the Song government, and its outstanding excellent qualities made it the dominant grain crop in the Yangtze River Basin, and with the different geographical environment, a large number of new varieties have evolved one after another. Therefore, Champong rice has a profound impact on the rice farming system in the Yangtze River Basin.

It was time to sow and plant seedlings, and the strong men in the village who had nothing to do began to look for employers, and Mei Xiaohan called them at this moment, which made them very excited.

Most of the farmers who came were farmers who had been helping to cultivate the land for the Mei family in the past. They have a clear door and know the number of roads, and they can get two-tenths of it every time the rice is harvested, so they are also willing to cultivate for the Mei family.

For the treatment and remuneration given by the Mei family, these farmers are also satisfied, because every busy farming season, they are not just one family, so as long as it is not in a disaster year, there is no need to worry about the problem of eating!

In the past, Mei Xiaohan's servant Ergouzi directly negotiated with these farmers, so many farmers had never met Mei Xiaohan.

This year, Mei Gongzi made an unprecedented decision to discuss farming-related matters with those farmers, which surprised these farmers.

What will be the harvest in a few months will depend on how well the next work is prepared.
