Chapter 313
Liu Yifan didn't expect the villagers to be so enthusiastic.
The imperial court exempted them from taxes for two years, Liu Yifan used the silver taels donated by wealthy merchants to help them build a house, and Liu Yifan personally gave them twenty catties of food for each family, and arranged work for them.
Liu Yifan put his hand on Liu Fei's shoulder and said to the villagers: "Fellow villagers, my brother, wants to build a private school and open a literacy class in our Good Luck Village. ”
"What?" The villagers were amazed and unbelievable.
"Lord Liu and this son are really bodhisattvas, and they are really the gospel of our people!"
"Thank you, Lord Liu, thank you, Lord Liu."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank you, I really want to build a private school and a literacy class in our Good Luck Village, but I don't have the skills, my brother hasn't decided yet, and he is always wavering, if you can convince him to take on this ...... Literacy messenger, I'll ask someone to build it right away. ”
Liu Fei didn't expect Liu Yifan to dig such a pit for himself!
He looked at Liu Yifan in a daze, but Liu Yifan didn't look at him at all, but was talking to the villagers.
"Is Lord Liu a literacy class like Choushuwan? Just charge the children for books? ”
"Yes, the literacy class only charges the cost of books, and we buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone uniformly, and the price is relatively cheap, and the students buy it in the literacy class, as long as they give the original price, it is more cost-effective than going out to buy it."
The villagers are proud to work for the Liu family, and the people in the literacy class have work to do, especially those who are good at arithmetic, they are all doing the accounting room, the work is easy and the salary is not low, even if they graduate from the literacy class, there is no job assignment, people also hope that their children can read and write. Nowadays, people's enthusiasm for literacy is very high, and the number of students in the second literacy class this year has reached 260! Among them, there are more than 50 girls.
At this time, the people led by the village chief set their eyes on Liu Fei one by one: "Childe, please promise Lord Liu!" ”
"Yes! Childe, we implore you to serve as a literacy messenger. ”
"Childe, please agree........."
Liu Yifan said to Liu Fei: "You feel that your leg is injured and you feel useless, but you see, they need you a lot, in fact, there are many things you can do, this uncle's hand is also broken, but he has not given up, practicing eating with his left hand, dressing with his left hand, and Erhu's father is also a hand, but do you see that he is idle?" When the literacy class in our village was first established, he was there to help with one hand, and they all lived well, using their best efforts to provide a better life for their families, even if they couldn't provide a better life, they were also trying not to cause trouble to them, and tried to live their best life. ”
Liu Fei listened to Liu Yifan's words, and then looked at the pair of pleading eyes in front of him, his eyes were moist.
I'm not a waste!
There's so much more I can do!
There are still many people in this world who need me!
Liu Fei choked up and said, "Well, I promise, I promise." ”
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Liu Yifan said: "Since Envoy Liu has agreed, I will start preparing for the construction of a literacy class when I go back today, and strive to build it as soon as possible." ”
"Great, everyone, come and thank Lord Liu and the messenger, our children and grandchildren will be able to read in the future!"
"Thank you, Lord Liu, thank you, messenger."
"Thank you, Lord Liu, thank you, messenger."
.........
The villagers were grateful, and bowed with their hands in thanks.
"Lord Liu, messenger, let's go to the small house for dinner!"
"Go to my house."
"Go to my house, go to my house."
.........
Invitations came and went.
Liu Yifan waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, we still have something to do, so we won't stay for dinner!" ”
Then Zhao Jialiang picked Liu Fei into the carriage again, and the three of them left under the eyes of the villagers of Haoyun Village.
After returning home, Liu Fei no longer closed himself, and talked with his family for a long time, he wanted to eat, wash, bathe, continue to touch books, he wanted to be peach and plum all over the world!
Liu Fei cheered up again!
The village chief, Sun, Liu Dayong and his wife came to thank Liu Yifan with tears, and almost knelt down!
"At that time, Imperial Doctor Jiang shook his head and said that it was not cured, and I regretted it, but I was more worried that Xiaofei would not be able to think about it, and now ...... Yifan, thanks to you, bothered you! Auntie really doesn't know how to thank you. After speaking, Jiang Shi bowed deeply to Liu Yifan and thanked him.
"Hey...... Auntie, what are you doing here? Liu Yifan said, "Brother Fei's knowledge is good, and I don't do it all for him, auntie, I can't afford such a big gift from you." ”
"In short, everything you have done for us Xiaofei, grandpa has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart."
"Grandpa, your family didn't help me a lot before, so what's the matter?"
Luo Ying said: "We are all our own people, thank you for coming and going, it's too angry." ”
"You kid......... Let's say what's good? ”
"Lord Chin has arrived!" A shrill voice came from outside the door, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Chincha-sama?
The couple looked at each other and immediately understood, the growth of hybrid rice in the first season was not bad, and Liu Luo didn't know how much the yield per mu was, but it was definitely much stronger than the original planting method, and the rice was also plump and round.
Before the village chief and the others could react, Liu Yifan and his family had already gone to the door to greet them, and it turned out that Qin Cha was officially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today!
"Xiaguan (people's woman) see Lord Qincha!"
"The grass people see Lord Qincha!"
"Get up!"
After the prince finished speaking, he entered the inner hall, the matter of increasing grain production is very important, and there are few people who know it now, the prince and Liu Yifan want to talk about it, so they took everyone away, and the whole room was full of guards outside to prevent being overheard, and the village chief and others took the initiative to leave when they saw this situation.
"Lord Liu, has grain production really increased? Is it really double the original? "The prince is very excited, the yield of rice in this era is about three stones per mu, if it is doubled, there will be at least six stones, and six stones is three hundred kilograms, how many people can be fed!
The emperor was also excited when he received the news, and he didn't sleep all night, and ordered the prince to hurry over to see the authenticity!
"It can be doubled visually, and it is not confiscated yet, and we plan to start harvesting tomorrow."
"Good, good! If it is really as you say, Lord Liu, you are indispensable! ”
Actually, he really wanted to go now, but it was too late, and after waiting for so long, he didn't care about this night.
"That's what a minister should do."
"Do many people know about this?"
"In addition to our husband and wife, there are also ten farmers in Zhuangzi who know that those ten farmers have no family, and they also signed a death deed with me."
"Well, that's good."
"Hongu can't wait."
"It's getting late today, Your Highness is tired of traveling, take a little rest today, early tomorrow morning, the minister will accompany His Highness to Zhuangzi, and we are just preparing to harvest tomorrow."
In the past few days, he has been rushing non-stop, and he is really tired, and after Liu Yifan said this, the prince is even more tired and weak.
After resting all night, early the next morning, Liu Yifan accompanied the prince and others to Zhuangzi.
Looking at the golden rice fields, the prince was excited, and when the prince arrived, the ten farmers began to harvest.
Ten people are veterans of the work, the speed is very fast, soon the field is stacked with several piles of cut grass, in order to save time, but also specially prepared thresher!
The threshing machine is made by the old craftsman of the furniture shop according to Luo Ying's drawings after many attempts, a total of ten, Choushuwan put two, this year for the villagers to use for free, just to advertise, this one is for their own use, two days ago when it was transported to Zhuangzi, all the farmers have been trained, so they also know how to use.
The "boom boom" thresher is already up and running.
The farmers also thought it was fun at first, but now that they actually use it, they find that this thing is so easy to use, and they are full of enthusiasm!
There are many people and great strength, an acre of land is quickly harvested and threshed, and the people who weigh it are the people brought by the prince, who thought they were wrong at first, and finally weighed it again, and the result is the same as the number of the first weighing!
The head of the guard shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, seven hundred and sixty-seven catties!" Seven hundred and sixty-seven pounds! ”
Seven hundred and sixty-seven pounds, and there are still five hundred and fifty or sixty pounds after drying!
Doubled, doubled!
One season of planting is enough to cover the usual year! Oh my God!
Do you still have to worry about the people going hungry in the future?
Do you still have to worry about starvation in a disaster year?
Are you still worried that when other countries are about to move, there will be a shortage of food and grass?
Seven hundred and sixty-seven pounds, what a meaningful number!
The prince, the guards, and the farmers were all deeply shocked by this result!
"Hahaha......... God bless me, God bless me! Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace! The day when I will be prosperous and prosperous, the road will not be left behind, and the night will not be closed! In the future, who would dare to take advantage of the serious disaster in my dynasty and the vitality has not recovered, I will let him go and not return next year! After the prince shouted loudly, he turned to Liu Yifan and said, "Lord Liu, you have made a lot of contributions!" The palace has returned to the capital, and I will ask for credit for you before my father's reign! ”
"The Lu of the king should be worried about the king, this is a matter within the minister's share, and he dare not take credit!"
"Reward! Must Reward! Hahaha........."
The crown prince immediately sent his henchmen and guards for eight hundred miles to urgently send the news of the universal celebration to the palace.
Then, three days later, the ten acres of rice had been harvested, and the prince returned to the capital, taking with him the ten farmers and a bag of rice, and these ten people would be confined to grow hybrid rice seeds.
