The vegetable greenhouses in the field can not be dismantled now, although the leeks cannot be sold before the year, but when the spring is cold, the leeks can still grow a stubble. At that time, the farmers' fresh vegetables could not be grown, so the Zhou family could sell them to earn money.

Therefore, Daddy Zhou Tie was very happy to go to the vegetable greenhouse every day to guard and take care of it. However, when eating, Zhou Tie must go home to eat every day.

When he was eating, he had a new problem. Every day, he asked his mother-in-law Zhou He to serve him a big bowl of yellow rice and pumpkin paste, and then covered it with a layer of pork stewed cabbage. Holding a white-flour bun in his hand, no matter how cold the weather is, he is going to squat on the street to eat.

The pumpkin paste and cabbage ate quickly, but the fat was always left over and over, and the white bread was reluctant to eat it after one or two bites.

Every time a neighbor could see Zhou Tie eating, Zhou Tie would be overjoyed. If he had been squatting for a long time and no one saw him eating, he would be very depressed.

After Zhou He persuaded Zhou Tie several times, but there was no effect, he let it go.

Zhou Zhi knew his father Zhou Tie's thoughts, this is a hard life, and now that the family is better, he has to show it to others. This is also common sense, farmers in the countryside seem to have such a distorted psychology.

Zhou Zhi secretly thought that the life of the Zhou family did not stop here, and it would be richer in the future. Hehe! Everything will be fine, just take your time.

After the happy New Year, Zhou Zhi went to the old Xiucai Wang Ding's house on the third day of the first month to ask for advice on the eight-share system.

Wang Ding didn't hide his selfishness, first starting from the very basics of the eight-strand system, and taught Zhou Zhi how to solve problems and undertake problems. Although he is an old talent, he still has a good understanding of Bagu.

Listening to Professor Wang Ding every day, Zhou Zhi has a lot of benefits.

After such a month, Zhou Zhi has some knack for writing eight-strand essays. The so-called speaking on behalf of a saint must be deeply understood and mastered by the sage's thoughts, and the article must be written from the perspective of the sage.

In fact, it is difficult to solve the problem in doing the eight-strand essay, and if the question is solved, the framework and context of an article will be very clear. Zhou Zhi also connected with the skills of making eight-strand essays mentioned by Xu Jing and integrated them. In this way, Zhou Zhi had his own set of ideas on how to solve the problem.

Seeing Zhou Zhi improving every day, Wang Ding was even more pleased, and a month later, Wang Ding felt almost unteachable. Of course, now Zhou Zhi can't make an eight-strand essay that has seen it, and it still needs Zhou Zhi to seriously comprehend and figure it out and read more books in the future.

In February, when social studies opened, Wang Ding went to teach social studies, and Zhou Zhi no longer went to Wang Ding's house to seek teaching.

In the first month, Daddy Zhou Tie went to the town alone to sell leeks for a few days, although the price was not as high as the previous year, but he could also make some money.

Zhou Tie now attaches too much importance to Zhou Zhi's reading, and hardly lets Zhou Zhi participate in labor every day, just letting him concentrate on reading.

The conditions at home are better, and Zhou Zhi simply puts more attention on reading, his memory ability is already super strong, and the books he reads now don't need to be memorized too much, so his reading speed is getting faster and faster.

I went to Lu Xingchuan's house again and returned all the books I had borrowed before, and this time I borrowed more annotations and "Historical Records" and other scriptures. "Historical Records" has been read in later generations, and you might as well read it again now, it can be counted as a review!

In addition, this time, Zhou Zhi also borrowed a few volumes of the Anthology. Now that I have started to learn to do Bagu Wen, I have to read a lot of Shiwen and grasp more skills. This is like when you go to school to write essays in later generations, you have to refer to and read a lot of essays.

This day is February 11, Zhou Zhi is reading and practicing calligraphy at home, and the head of the group, Wang Qi, suddenly comes to the door.

This guy has been severely repaired by Zhou Zhi last time, and he doesn't come to Zhou's house every ten days to check the status of the official horse. Anyway, the Zhou family is covered by a group of leaders, and even if something happens to the official horse, he has nothing to do.

When Wang Qi saw Zhou Zhi, he immediately had a flattering face, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhou Zhi, I didn't come here today to check on Guan Mali, but I really have something to convey to your family." ”

After this guy called Zhou Zhi brother, his heart pounded. The group elder and Zhou Zhicai are called brothers, and he also calls Zhou Zhi's brother as a small group leader, which seems to be a high climb. But if he doesn't call it that, he really doesn't know how to call Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi obviously didn't care, and said with a slight smile, "The head of the group, please say something." ”

has already taught Wang Qi a lesson, so that Wang Qi knows how powerful he is, there is no need to speak coldly to Wang Qi at this time.

Seeing Zhou Zhi smiling, Wang Qi was very beautiful in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhou Zhi, this is the case, the imperial court is sympathetic to the people's hard work, and for the sake of the people, a thing called 'potato' has been introduced from the south of the Yangtze River, and it is now distributed to all villages, requiring that every ten acres of land must receive five catties to plant."

The imperial court grasped this matter very tightly, and demanded that the government must send potatoes to all villages, and every peasant household must be notified, and I will go door-to-door to inform them.

I originally wanted to send it to Brother Zhou Zhi's family, but the official government didn't allow it, so I had to bother Brother Zhou Zhi to go to Gaochang Town to get it now. ”

Zhou Zhi was slightly stunned, the potato thing finally appeared. Unexpectedly, it happened to be at this moment after I crossed. This thing is not bad, it can not only cook, but also satisfy hunger, Zhou Zhi immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" I'm going to get it! ”

Wang Qi nodded and smiled at Zhou Zhi again, and then left with Zhou Zhi. As soon as Wang Qi left, his father Zhou Tie came home from the vegetable greenhouse in the field, and when he saw Zhou Zhi, he hurriedly asked, "Xiaozhi, what is that potato?" The government also forced it to be planted. ”

He seems to regard Zhou Zhi as a person who knows everything.

Zhou Zhi is naturally very familiar with the importance of potatoes, but now it is not good to talk too much to his father Zhou Tie, so he said, "If you want to come to the government to plant it, it must be good." Daddy, the boy is going to get it! ”

After Zhou Zhi finished speaking, he strode outside the hospital.

Zhou Tie shouted behind Zhou Zhi, "Xiaozhi, how can you go?" This kind of thing is still going to Dad, you study hard at home! ”

"It won't take much time to get to town!" Zhou Zhi said, long gone.

Many people in Baiyue Village had already been notified by the head of the group, and at this time, many people came out of Baiyue Village and rushed towards Gaochang Town along the straight official road.

Because the south has already been successful in planting potatoes on a large scale, Emperor Hongzhi attached great importance to the promotion and planting of potatoes in the north, and Xu Pu, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Ye Qi, the head of the household department, were even more hands-on, and strictly ordered the northern state governments to distribute potatoes to the hands of the people.

The imperial court paid attention to it, and the Qingdu County Ya naturally did not dare to slack off, and transported tens of thousands of catties of potatoes to Gaochang Town.

Zhou Zhi quickly rushed to Gaochang Town with everyone, and at this time, there were already group leaders or patriarchs everywhere, and people like the village were distributing according to the acres of land of each household, and Lu Xingchuan, who was not even very enthusiastic about the affairs of the group heads, was also among them.

Zhou Zhi took the initiative to come forward to greet Lu Xingchuan, and with Lu Xingchuan's help, Zhou Zhi quickly received his own potatoes.

The Zhou family has eight acres of land, so naturally they can only receive four catties of potatoes. Weighing the cloth bag containing the potatoes in his hand, Zhou Zhi watched everyone actively leading the potatoes, Zhou Zhi secretly thought, if this potato is planted now, it can be harvested in June. If you plant it in August, you can harvest it again in November, so you can plant two crops a year, although there are very few seeds now, but in November, it is estimated that there will be too many potatoes produced in the entire Qingdu County.

Thinking like this, the corners of Zhou Zhi's mouth couldn't help but reveal a happy smile, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
