The villagers worked hard in the fields, and every time they saw the bunches of plump rice ears, swaying with the breeze, the tiredness in their hearts was swept away.

The more I worked, the more energetic I became, and I wanted to know how much stone rice could be harvested in the end of an acre of land.

The Zhu family was the first to harvest one acre of land, and they couldn't wait to weigh it with a scale, good guy, the output of one acre of land actually reached 700 stones.

One stone is equal to one hundred and twenty catties, which is more than eight hundred catties!

This yield is almost eight times that of chestnut rice grown before, which is unimaginable.

...

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

But when good things are shocking enough and related to their own vital interests, it is not just a matter of spreading thousands of miles!

In just a few days, there was a place called Zhuwo Village and Diowo Village, which not only planted rice, but also exceeded the yield of eight stones per acre of land, and the news spread throughout Qinghuai County.

Of course, there are many people who don't believe this and think it's just an exaggeration, because they are not suitable for growing rice here at all, let alone eight stones, and they are thankful that they can harvest eight buckets.

But this news is so subtle that it is difficult to believe it, seeing is believing, and some people choose to go to Zhuwo Village to see it with their own eyes.

Although the villagers had basically finished harvesting the rice, they saw that the yards of each house and the slightly leveler areas of the village were full of rice.

The doubts in the hearts of those who came to seek verification disappeared!

It turns out that they can not only seed rice here, but also have a very high yield.

As more and more people went to the two villages to verify, the answer they got was that there was really an output of eight stones.

The people of Qinghuai County began to change from suspicion and ridicule to envy.

Eight stones of rice per acre, according to the rice yield rate of about 70%, that is also a pretty good harvest.

And the rice husk can also be ground into bran to feed the pigs, and the pigs fed out of hundreds of catties of rice bran can earn a lot of money.

There is a big difference between rice and fruit mushrooms, fruit mushrooms can only be regarded as vegetables at most, and the biggest feature is that they can be eaten raw and taste good.

And you can pick up a lot of mushrooms when it rains and goes up the mountain, which is not attractive to ordinary people.

But rice is different, it is a staple food, it is the staple food that every household needs, even if you can't eat it at home, you can easily replace it with copper plates, or other equivalents.

If the family can grow two acres of rice, wouldn't it be enough to meet the family's annual rations?

And it's a white rice that you can't even eat if you want to! Even some ordinary rich and noble families have to weigh whether they can afford to eat white rice for a long time.

.......

Zhuwo Village and Diowo Village have gradually become a "scenic spot" because of rice, and more and more people have come to the two villages to learn from experience, hoping to plant rice and live a good life without worrying about eating and drinking.

Su Baiya was a little distressed about this, but the distress was not that there were often a group of people outside the Zhuwo Village company who wanted to visit her.

The distress is that some people's hands and feet are not very clean, and when they came to the two villages, they saw ducks running everywhere, so they took a few sheep away, and went to great lengths to catch people for a duck, which was too trivial.

After counting, more than 20 ducks were lost in less than ten days.

Although the rice has been harvested and the water has been drained, the ducks have been used to wandering outside, and they have not been lost for several months, and the ducks are still growing very well.

Su Baiya's plan is that the ducks will be kept in the field, and it can also reduce the workload of the brothers who raise ducks.

But now because of the arrival of people from other villages, they can only be forced to temporarily return to the duck pen.

"Mr. Su, there is a guy who claims to have been sent by Master Shang, do you want to see him?"

Uncle Ge arrived at the door of the company and asked softly.

"No," Su Baiya refused without hesitation.

Recently, the people have learned from the villagers of the two villages that they can only harvest high-yield rice by using the rice seeds provided by the cornucopia company and planting them in the right way, so they want to see her.

Among them, there are some rich masters who offer high prices to buy rice, and they are too tired to pass them one by one, so they simply don't see everyone equally.

"Then I'll go and turn him down."

After Uncle Ge finished speaking, he left the door of the office.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the onlookers who were outside begging for rice seeds still did not retreat, as if they wanted to impress her with their sincerity.

Su Baiya didn't want to take the shelf, or to monopolize the rice, but she didn't know what the attitude of the county was when it came to the disposal of rice, so she "didn't move" for the time being.

was about to go to the cafeteria to eat, and as soon as he walked to the door of the office, he met Uncle Ge who was coming to him.

Uncle Ge: "Mr. Su, Mr. Shang came in person, and he said that he wanted to see you." ”

"Missing"

Su Baiya didn't want to see those middle-aged uncles who were full of copper stench and greasy.

Uncle Ge didn't leave, hesitated for a moment and finally said: "This old man Shang seems to have come to see Mr. Su a few months ago, I remember that Mr. Su called him like ... It seems to be the old man. ”

He has also seen all kinds of people in these days of guarding the door, and it is not easy for the old man to look at it, and in addition to Su Baiya's respectful appearance to the old man that day, he paid more attention to it, and he still has an impression.

"Master Zhi?" Su Baiya thought about this number one person in her mind.

Uncle Ge reminded softly: "At that time, this old man also asked me to tell you about five hundred taels of silver. ”

Su Baiya patted her head and immediately reacted: "Quickly invite Master Zhi in." ”

At the same time, he also instructed Xiao Tao to inform the kitchen and prepare a table of good wine and food.

After a while, a well-dressed man walked in slowly, who else could it be if it wasn't the magistrate.

Zhixian had a smile on his face, and his voice was obviously a little displeased: "It's really difficult to see Mr. Su, the guy I sent can't even see Mr. Su." ”

"I'm sorry Master Zhi, I couldn't go out to greet you in person, please understand" Su Baiya paused and said, "When it rang, there was a guy who claimed to be sent by Master Shang, and I didn't react for a while!" ”

"Who is the old man?" The magistrate was a little puzzled.

Su Baiya reminded: "The last time the magistrate came to Zhuwo Village, let me call you the magistrate. ”

The magistrate recalled slightly, remembered the events of that day, and wanted to keep a low profile at that time, so he casually called him Master Zhi.

It turned out that Su Baiya didn't even know who he was! I thought I couldn't look down on him as a magistrate.

So he smiled awkwardly: "In the future, you will call me Master Shang." ”

Su Baiya didn't dwell on this matter, and said with a smile: "Master Shang hasn't had dinner yet, I have already ordered the kitchen to prepare wine and food, so let's talk while eating." ”

Zhixian nodded and said, "That's very good." ”
