Chapter 59: Reward
"In spring and March, the mountains and forests do not climb the axe to become the length of grass and trees, and the rivers and rivers do not enter the net, so they become the ......length of fish and turtles," Pang Jin looked at Lin Shuqing, who was holding a basket and was about to go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables.
"What do you mean, can you make it clear?" Lin Shuqing didn't understand much.
"That is, when spring arrives in March, don't go into the mountains with an axe to cut down trees, let them grow naturally, don't take nets to fish in the lake, and let the fish and turtles grow well......"
Lin Shuqing understood, it was the growth period.
But compared to the growth period, it's more important to fill your stomach.
"Did the book say that it was better to starve to death than to keep the feast?" Lin Shuqing asked.
Pang Jin was full of contemplation when he heard this, and looked at Lin Shuqing's Yan expression quite solemnly.
"There's no such sentence in the book, I don't know where Miss Lin heard it?"
"Nothing, in passing. I just want to tell my husband that the truth is dead, people are alive, and people have to eat and live. ”
"Everyone has no food to eat in the winter, so you can't help but let everyone go to the mountains to find it. It is dangerous in the mountains, and you can only find it in a nearby place, and you can't pick it all. ”
"The wild vegetables in this field, one after another, can't grow, so don't worry, sir."
After Lin Shuqing said this, he ran away with the bamboo basket, for fear of being re-educated by Pang Jin.
At this time, she also understood why Pang Jin's temperament was not welcomed in the capital. Because he is too weak and has too many things to take care of, he will naturally not be welcomed.
But this kind of temperament is excellent for teaching children.
She doesn't have to be afraid that he is one of those teachers who will beat the board and punish the children at every turn.
Lin Shuqing walked far away, Pang Jin was still pondering in place, and I don't know how long it took, he suddenly raised his head.
As if suddenly understood, he immediately went home, found pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a few pages of words with a pen.
But Lin Shuqing didn't know any of this.
She is more concerned about the spring ploughing that is about to begin than the wild vegetables in the mountains.
When spring arrives, you can start growing a variety of vegetables and grains.
Compared with the grain harvested later, Lin Shuqing took a look at the farmers' fields, and many farmers have begun to plow the land and dig pits.
Lin Shuqing measured the fertility and moisture of the soil, as well as the distribution distance between each pit, and suddenly felt that it was not possible.
In this year's land, if it occupies the water's edge, it will save a lot of effort to carry water.
Lin Shuqing looked at their village, there are a few streams, but they are far away, and most people's fields cannot be taken care of, so people have to carry water. Fortunately, they have abundant precipitation in the season, and they mainly rely on this to increase the moisture of the soil.
The village also built several ponds to store water, which were distributed in different directions, and the left and right were close to the village residences.
When the peasants go out to work, they can pass by the roadside to fetch water.
Judging from the results of Lin Shuqing's investigation, this is still far from enough.
But what should I do?
Farming, fertilizing and pest control is her professional knowledge, but there are no professional supporting things, and even her home land is not available, what should I do?
If you want to improve some good varieties, you can't do it.
Lin Shuqing's troubles were quickly resolved, and another team of people riding tall horses entered their village.
She also asked her to come by name, saying that it was something that the Holy God had given her.
The people brought were still led by Luo Wu and taken to the Lin family.
At that time, the Lin family was busy, and since no one informed them in advance, they even took the merchants in the courtyard to accept the holy decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: ...... The female Lin Shuqing is very smart and cares about the people...... Hereby rewarded...... One hundred acres of land. The holy envoy stood in front of Lin Shuqing and read the holy decree, and Lin Shuqing knelt in front of him.
Although there was some pain in her knee, it didn't stop her from hearing the numbers at all.
How much, a hundred acres?
Isn't this just a sleepy person giving a pillow? She wanted to farm the earth, so the saint gave her some land, what a god assisted!
The people in the village stared at the courtyard of the Lin family, looking at the boxes of rewards carried in, and it was absolutely a lie to say that they were not greedy.
But it's more about the awe of Lin Shuqing, this is a person who has been rewarded by the Son of Heaven, and he can say that his grandson can admit it, can this be the same as ordinary people?
In a few months, the Lin family went from a broken settlement in the village to an unattainable family.
Lin Shuqing didn't care about so much, she didn't even care about those gifts, and asked directly to the adult who sent the holy decree: "I don't know my lord, I chose this land by myself?" Or is it assigned to me above? ”
More importantly, when to give.
The official didn't seem to expect Lin Shuqing to ask for something directly, so he looked at her carefully and said, "This land should be measured and divided by the people in the county, and it will be calculated according to the number of acres." ”
Hearing this, Lin Shuqing was much more relieved, there was still room for negotiation about the land.
The family finally has land.
After respectfully sending off the messenger of the Son of Heaven, Luo Wu was still in the courtyard and did not leave.
Lin Shuqing comprehended, stepped forward and asked, "My lord, you want to eat at my house today, today is a good day, I have a treat." ”
For Lin Shuqing, this is tantamount to pie in the sky.
Luo Wu said thoughtfully: "Yes, but I still have something to look for you, come with me to the county office." ”
After a full meal, Lin Shuqing was taken by Luo Wu to the county office and went to Luo Wu's office in the back yard.
"There is no need to be served here, you go down ......"
"Yes, sir."
After everyone was cleared, Luo Wu asked quietly, "Can you read?" How many words do you recognize? ”
"Three-five thousand-and-......"
Lin Shuqing herself is not sure, she can even guess the full set of analysis of traditional Chinese characters, but it does not mean that he can write and read well.
Hearing this, Luo Wu seemed a little unconvinced, but he still picked out one of the letters on the table and gave it to her and let her see it.
"Li Qing is indeed a prisoner who escaped from the prison. His family was originally a wealthy family in the capital, but later the business became bigger, and he used a lot of uncompromising things, so the family went in. Luo Wu said this, as if he raised the corner of his eyes and glanced at Lin Shuqing.
Lin Shuqing happened to be staring at him too, and he felt that there was a warning in his words.
Don't go too far in business, don't be opportunistic, or you will be the next Li Qing.
"The Li family is doing business, and there are many nobles who have contact with the capital, and the biggest master behind the Li family is the second prince. The second prince competed with the eldest prince...... Forget it, why am I telling you this? ”
"Li Qing has been staying in the nearby county town, and it was the second prince who saved him, and since then he has been dead set on the second prince and has become a knife in his hand."
"It was only after your tofu business became bigger that he gradually heard about you, and he knew about Fangzi, and wanted the second prince to report it, and it was a great achievement."
"All of them will send people to you to buy, and if you don't sell, they came up with such a solution." Luo Wu sighed.
