After a few thunderous days, the weather gradually cooled down, the gourd planted in the small courtyard of the Liu family climbed all over the courtyard wall on one side, casting a green shadow, Liu wore a homely gown, sat under the gourd shelf and guarded the sewing basket, where he painted the shoe fan, watched Lindsay Yu run back and forth for a while, and couldn't help shouting: "Although it is over the summer, the sun is also very poisonous, carefully heat stroke." ”

Lin Saiyu held a large piece of paper in his hand, and while he was busy checking the various seeds he bought, he hurriedly replied: "It's okay, it's okay, mother, you can also go and see, Erlang planted an acre of vegetables there, including cabbage, green onions, garlic, spinach, turnips and radish, I think it would be good to find some eggplant and cress." ”

Liu shook his head and said, "I don't go to see it, there are many people crowding around, I won't make trouble,。。。。。 Before she finished her words, she saw Lin Saiyu hurriedly running out, couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, looking at the top of her shoes for a while, until it was dark, the two little eloquents talked and laughed into the door, and at the dinner table, they didn't care about Liu's food rules, and from time to time discussed who planted that piece of land and who should watch that piece of land.

Shifang Village except for the land of the land protection family, all of them belong to the Liu family, for a while the tenants are panicked, after all, there is no good friendship with the Liu family, and they have fallen into the well, but they are afraid of being jealous and take back the land, that is to take people's lives, for a time the wheel war is generally in and out of the Liu family, until Liu Xiaohu declares that they are still according to the original species, the rent is less than in the past, and the rest is quiet after the autumn.

Busy harvesting a small amount of autumn grain, the people of a village began to feel uneasy again, seeing Lin Saiyu with many strangers in the field to measure, Xiao Liu Brother took a pen and paper to write and paint from time to time, and soon connected the scattered land into a piece, led the river water, and also knew that Lindsay Yu planted lotus roots, and they were panicked for a while, but they were not allowed to plant anymore, and they gathered at Cao Dibao's house, crying and saying that they were going to ask the county lord to be the master.

Cao Dashan was angry at this sudden change, and couldn't understand how things could have become like this, how could the orphans and widows who had whispered and begged him to settle down suddenly become the masters of Shifang Village? If he hadn't owned his own land, wouldn't he have become a tenant of their family? I couldn't swallow this breath, seeing that the villagers were making trouble, I was so happy in my heart, I added a few fires, and was ready to take someone to sue, but the Liu family began to solicit tenants who planted lotus roots at this time, and promised to leave a harvest, which made the people in the village blow up the nest, they already knew the value of lotus roots, Cao Sanlang can sell it for five dollars just a basket of lotus roots, if they plant it well, the more harvest, the more they keep, where to find such a good thing? For a while, where did he care to sue the official, and it was too late to thank the ancestors.

Lin Saiyu picked seven or eight households, divided the ten acres of land by the river, and arranged the rest to the east of the village, Liu Xiaohu took the planting vegetables, ready to plant them from the autumn, these days busy purchasing raw materials to build greenhouses, the villagers followed Liu Xiaohu to listen to the lectures, those terms do not understand, only know that these vegetables are planted, better than their food income in the past few years, Cao Dashan inevitably said some frustrating words underground, but because Brother Xiao Liu has been affirmed by the county commander, the villagers are still confident, and they are trying their best to help for a while.

Cao Sanlang and the Lu family personally came to the door a few times, first to pick a good land to plant, and then to be rent-free, Lin Saiyu didn't care, pointed out a piece of land in the east of the village to them, and said that it doesn't matter, the rent doesn't want yours, where is the Lu family willing, it is indispensable to follow the son-in-law and nag, until Liu Xiaohu personally planted a lot of vegetables for her, and there is nothing good to say behind her back, saying that if these things that are not suitable for eating are not satisfactory, it is indispensable for them to support themselves in the Liu family, so that everyone can listen to a little drum, but I am afraid that it will not be successful, The angry Lin Saiyu quarreled with her again.

Busy autumn, in late July, Jiangning Su's rice seeds came as scheduled, Liu Xiaohu and Lin Saiyu were busy with their feet did not touch the ground, and took everyone to the river field to plant rice, Shifang Village has never planted rice, for a time people from Shili and Eight Villages rushed over to see the excitement, but it was more lively than the temple fair in the city during the New Year.

Liu Xiaohu personally took the farmers down to the paddy field where people worked, this paddy field was Lin Saiyu's idea, because it was still early from the lotus root planting period, and the land could not be wasted, so it was just used to plant a season of rice, and then plant lotus root, and the lotus root could also be planted with a season of aquatic vegetables. That's enough fun.

Looking at Liu Xiaohu's rice planting, the farmers carefully learned, and Lindsay Yu on the shore didn't care about the identity of a woman, pulled up her trouser legs, and jumped into the paddy field.

"It's not going to work, it's too slow, look at me." Lin Saiyu said this, picked up a handful of seedlings, just threw them, scattered in the paddy fields, one line of words and one line of throwing, everyone was stunned when they saw it, and the gongs and drums were ringing lively.

Lord Zhu exempted Liu Xiaohu and his wife, saying that he was just coming to see and let them continue, Liu Xiaohu stayed to talk with Lord Zhu, and Lin Saiyu taught the farmers to throw the seedlings into the paddy field.

Master Zhu said: "This method is rare. He used to be an official in the south, so he naturally saw how to grow rice, and he couldn't help but have some questions, "Is this feasible?" We have different regions here, so won't it hurt the seedlings? You can't spoil the seedlings. ”

Liu Xiaohu hurriedly smiled: "It's feasible, it's feasible, my father once said that the kid has also seen it in the book, don't worry." ”

As he spoke, Lin Saiyu personally planted the excellent seedlings, went ashore, and distributed the ordinary seedlings he bought to everyone to plant, Liu Xiaohu led Lord Zhu to a clean place to rest, and he went to the house to change his clothes before coming over, just walked over, he saw that Lord Zhu's face was not good, and he seemed to be a little annoyed, while Liu Xiaohu lowered his head and said nothing.

"Cao's family, are you afraid that the county can't afford to pay money, so you gave them this early lotus root technology to Jiangning Mansion?" Master Zhu said in a deep voice, "For the sake of the people on this side, even the seller will give you enough money to give you the property, and this county is to keep this technology." “

It's no wonder that Zhu Xianling was angry, since Lin Saiyu said that the family land is not enough, can not bear the name of "the hometown of lotus root", he also stopped this idea, I didn't expect to hear everyone in the city say in a few days, Shifang Village sold the technology of early lotus root, after next year, Jiangning Mansion will become the only production area of early lotus root, Lord Zhu was skeptical, and invited Cao Dashan, the local protector, to ask, sure enough, Cao Dashan also said that the Su family paid a lot of money to get it from the Liu family, and also signed a contract, it is said that the family will move to Jiangning Mansion, not to guard the poor county, The angry Lord Zhu took the case and found it today.

When Lin Saiyu heard this, he smiled and hurriedly said: "My lord, don't worry, listen to me, we are by no means greedy for money, in fact, this lotus root cultivation does not have any special skills." Said a little embarrassed smile, lowered his voice and said, "Everything has its own laws, must be adapted to local conditions, although I used artificial skills to grow early lotus roots, but within two years, this is not a secret technology, when the time comes, our north is still not comparable to the south, where is the real high yield of lotus roots." ”

Yes, don't underestimate the wisdom of these farmers, it is these people who promote the development of agriculture, she Lin Saiyu just took the opportunity of the prophet, as long as she takes the lead, this technology can immediately spread rapidly, and controlling agricultural technology is not a long-term solution to make money.

When he heard this, Lord Zhu's face was softened, and he repeatedly muttered the sentence in his heart, which was too popular and too appropriate, looking at the young village woman in front of him, he swept her hair, and a trace of worry flashed on her face, and then said: "The lotus root is still extremely valuable at this time, if the adults want to push it away, it is bound that the farmers in the villages will compete for planting, and when the farmland is wasted, everyone may be able to make money and sell food in the first year, but in the second year, the Jiangnan water town will be able to catch up, where the time and place are favorable and there is a long-term planting technology, We can't compare with Cheng An, and the yield of lotus root will inevitably increase greatly, and the value will also decrease, adults can imagine, at that time, what will we be like here? ”

Lord Zhu's face was solemn, he suddenly got up, bowed to Lin Saiyu, frightened Lin Saiyu to avoid it, and said in a loud voice: "My lord has tormented the slave." ”

Lord Zhu sighed and said: "This county is rash, now the Wuyue area has been suffering from drought for many years, and the famine is about to start, Lord Zhao has begun to raise grain everywhere, but I almost wasted the fields, this county is not as good as your husband and wife to observe the people's feelings, and I suspect that you are chasing money, which is really embarrassing." ”

Liu Xiaohu hurriedly smiled: "The adults can come to our Shifang Village twice, it can be seen that they are concerned about the people's feelings, and we are not wronged when it comes to it, after all, we have earned some land by this, and the name of greed for money is not an exaggeration, it is really necessary to farm the land and need money, and I hope that the adults will forgive me." ”

For a while, the knot was untied, and the two sides talked very happily, Lin Saiyu pointed to the farmers who were throwing seedlings in the field, and said with a smile: "I heard the officials say that His Majesty the Emperor has vigorously promoted rice planting, but our northern yield has not been high, and the slave family is going to try this on this trip. ”

Everyone laughed, after listening to Liu Xiaohu's production introduction, Lord Zhu became more and more happy, and increased production, which is a good thing to bring together hundreds of farmers and get the commendation of the imperial court, and asked Liu Xiaohu a few words about learning, before leaving, thinking about reporting to his superiors along the way, and not mentioning this matter for the time being.

After this period, Lin Saiyu was a little idle, Liu Xiaohu was busy until dark every day, and his homework was naturally not as diligent as before, Liu's face became worse and worse, this day I watched the little couple chattering at the dinner table again, slapped the dishes and chopsticks, and shouted: "Daughter-in-law, you come with me." ”
