Lin Ruan looked at Chen Zhizhou with a smile: "Lord Chen is also so gossipy? ”

Chen Zhizhou grinned and said: "Hey, everyone has curiosity, and I am also a human being, of course, it is inevitable to be vulgar." ”

Lin Ruan didn't bother to take care of him, so he instructed someone to move the sweet potato seeds into the utility room first, and secretly cast an ability to make these sweet potato seeds more energetic.

After all, after a winter of storage, some seed potatoes began to die, and if you don't rescue them with your abilities, even if they are planted in the soil, it will be difficult to survive.

Tian Dazhuang and their movements were very fast, and it took less than two days to plow an acre of land, and they could plant seed potatoes tomorrow.

Those peasant officials were very conscientious and kept guarding the fields, and even carefully studied the extent to which they ploughed the soil, which made Tian Dazhuang and them uncomfortable.

In the evening, the patriarch came to the door.

Lin Ruan invited the patriarch into the main room and sat down, and asked, "Why did the patriarch come here at this time?" ”

The patriarch smiled politely, "Thinking that you are busy during the day, you should be free at this time, so I have the cheekiness to come over and discuss something with you." ”

Lin Ruan raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”

The patriarch's face flushed a little: "Ah Ruan, do you see if you can hand over the breeding work tomorrow to the people of our clan?" Don't worry, I will definitely find the best way to serve the crops in our village, and you will decide who will be the final candidate? ”

This is the first time this sweet potato has been planted, and there are so many officials coming, which is a good thing with a long face.

He knew that Lin Ruan was not short of manpower here, but he still wanted to fight for the clan. After all, Lin Ruan has the surname of their Lin family, no matter how you say it, it is also a family, this kind of good thing, it is not too much to give them to their own family.

Afraid that Lin Ruan would not agree, the patriarch said again: "This is the first time we have planted sweet potatoes in Da Zhou, I think that the people in the clan will learn first, and then next year, maybe someone will ask the people in our clan to help guide them, and they can earn some money." ”

Lin Ruan didn't expect this, she really didn't expect this stubble, but since the patriarch had asked for it, she naturally had no reason to refuse. "Yes, the patriarch of the human hand, you just look at the arrangement, but the few people brought by Uncle Tian also have to stay and work."

The patriarch couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Cheng, Cheng, no problem." Then I'll go back and arrange for someone to go, and bring it over tomorrow morning to show you. ”

Early the next morning, the patriarch waited outside the courtyard with people early, and Li Zheng also followed, and Lin Ruan hurriedly invited people into the courtyard.

The patriarch smiled with a smile on his face: "Ah Ruan, you see, these are the people in our clan who are the best at serving the crops." ”

Lin Ruan glanced at those people, and sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being a person who could become the patriarch, among these people, the people who had offended her openly and secretly were excluded. The rest are either the family members of the dozen or so girls who did business with her, or there are people in the family who can meet Lin Ruan's recruitment conditions before.

These people looked at Lin Ruan nervously, for fear that Lin Ruan would not be satisfied with him.

Lin Ruan doesn't have anything to pick, this kind of sweet potato really doesn't use too much technology, dig a pit and bury the seed potato in it to sprout.

But it's not good for her to say this kind of thing in front of these people.

So he nodded: "It's going to be hard for everyone in a while." ”

The dozen or so people who were found shook their heads busily: "It's not hard, it's not hard." ”

Lin Ruan saw that the time was almost up, so he led the people to the ground.

This kind of rare thing, Shen Tingyu and Shen Tingye naturally won't miss it, and they also went together.

When the group arrived, they found that the people in the village had all gathered around Lin Ruan's field, planning to see how the sweet potatoes were grown, and wanted to learn some experience in advance, so that they would not have to rush when it was their turn to raise seedlings by themselves next year.

Chen Zhizhou and Qin Xianling rushed over with a group of people.

Lin Ruan saw that those people had brought a few monks, and they were all great monks, so he asked with some curiosity, "What is this?" ”

Qin County Ling stepped forward very doggedly, "County Lord, these are specially invited by the lower officials to pray for these sweet potatoes, begging God to make the wind and snow smooth throughout this year, so that these sweet potatoes will have a bumper harvest, and in the coming year, the people of our Great Zhou Kingdom will be able to plant sweet potatoes and no longer starve." ”

Although Lin Ruan felt that no matter how bad the weather was, she could plant this sweet potato to a bumper harvest, but Qin County's intention was good. Although this product is more just for the sake of please.

However, the ancients believed in this, and besides, praying for the future is also a beautiful thing, so Lin Ruan felt that it was also very good, so he praised it: "I have a heart." ”

The smile on Qin Xianling's face became even brighter.

So the monks who were praying for blessings began to read a scripture that Lin Ruan didn't understand a word in front of the carts of sweet potato seeds and the field.

The villagers knelt on the ground with a very pious attitude.

Chen Zhizhou and Qin County Order, as well as those peasant officials, all knelt down.

Lin Ruan and the two cousins glanced at each other, and had no choice but to kneel down. Fortunately, the soil in this field has just been turned over, and it is not uncomfortable to kneel.

This prayer sutra was recited for nearly half an hour, and finally the great monks walked around the field, and recited for a while, enough for half an hour, and the blessing ceremony was completed.

After Lin Ruan was helped up, he felt that his knees were a little numb, and he thought that he would not let Xiuxiu follow.

After the great monks who prayed for blessings stepped aside, Lin Ruan explained the breeding method to the clansman and Tian Dazhuang.

They are all good crops, and the planting requirements of this sweet potato are indeed not very high, so after listening carefully, they began to work according to the division of labor.

Lin Zhong is also a good crop, originally he also wanted to participate in the first planting, but seeing that there were already so many people, he didn't go to join in the fun.

Several agricultural officials followed behind Tian Dazhuang and others, carefully recording the process.

These processes are important, not only to compile them into a file for next year's national planting process, but also to submit a copy to the emperor.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, and it took a few truckloads of potato seeds to plant them all in half a day.

Finally, the nursery is covered with grass rows and waiting for the seed potatoes to germinate.

In the end, Chen Zhizhou arranged for several officials to stay and guard the nursery to avoid accidents.

After all, this land is close to the mountains and forests, and if a wild beast breaks down the mountain, or if someone with a bad heart comes to destroy it, it will be a big thing.

Because these officials had to stay here for a long time, they had to build a straw hut on the edge of the nursery for them to shelter.

Lin Ruan doesn't have to worry about this matter, someone will arrange it.

Everyone was about to leave, when they saw a large group of chariots and horses in the distance rushing towards Linjia Village.
