(shortcut←) (shortcut→)
Now Wang Anshi has been away from the imperial court for two years, but he is an official worshipping Jingguo Gong and the envoy of the air and Jixi, Su Jinnan and Lin Saiyu did not dare to slack off, and they were busy dressing up and coming out.
When I got out of the house, I saw Wang Anshi, dressed in cloth, feeding the donkey tied to the tree to eat, with only one child following him, and a few other village children watching, while chirping and shouting, "Old man Wang, Wang Banshan, let us ride a donkey." When the villagers passing by saw him, they only nodded slightly and shouted honestly: "Wang Banshan, didn't your daughter-in-law call you back to the city?" Why is it here again? Someone else shouted, "Mr. Banshan, can you help me write a letter to my son?" Wang Anshi replied in a uh-huh, no one could see that this old man with a white head and simple clothes had dealt with the emperor's ministers in the current dynasty, and he was completely a man of the mountains and wilderness when it came to the new law.
"Big lady, I thought about it yesterday, I planted all the seedlings that are easy to emerge, what can the big lady plant?" Wang Banshan saw them come out and received the gift of their husband and wife, so he said a little embarrassed, although he said this, he was reluctant to give in to the sweet potato seedlings, and he was afraid that the little woman would have to give in because of his identity, and the look on his face was embarrassed and reluctant.
Lin Saiyu smiled, his heart was very warm, because Wang Anshi lived in the mid-mountain building almost every day and did not leave, his wife Wu was really worried, and came to persuade him to go home yesterday, but he came back early this morning, just to worry that she Lin Saiyu had nothing to plant.
"Sir, this is like leeks, cut stubble after stubble, Mr. can plant it with confidence, the little woman naturally can't lose her own land."
Hearing her say this, Wang Banshan looked relieved, twisted his beard and said: "So the old man is relieved, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not take away the beauty, and the old man is only afraid of abrupt the eldest lady." ”
Lin Saiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It must be an honor to be able to grow sweet potatoes by Mr. Wang Banshan was happy, regardless of the child's words to persuade him to go back, and hurriedly called Lin Saiyu to see the warm nursery room, while looking at what Lin Saiyu said in detail, "The basic point of seedbed management is to urge, supplemented by refining, first urging and then refining, combining refining and refining to control the temperature", while busy with the pen quickly remembering what seems to understand whether to understand "early high temperature germination; Seedlings grow at a flat temperature in the middle stage; Late low-temperature seedling refining".
Now Lin Saiyu is about to give birth in two months, and Su Jinnan is naturally in every way, and the two of them are covered with a layer of mist that seems to be real and illusory.
After another seven or eight days, a batch of sweet potato seedlings were cut off by Lin Saiyu under Wang Banshan's excited gaze, and the tenants around him immediately took the mud and put it in the basket like an offering, while Wang Banshan immediately picked up a pen and paper and began to record every action and sentence of Lin Saiyu in detail. “…… Do not water before pulling seedlings, and water thoroughly after pulling seedlings...... The first time is not topdressing, the second topdressing, remember that the seedlings can not be topdressed on the same day, and it will not be ...... until two days After topdressing, water thoroughly to prevent the seedlings from burning......" Lin Saiyu habitually said and did at the same time, and when he saw Wang Banshan's serious and focused appearance, he couldn't help but imitate his mentor's appearance and nodded with satisfaction, and only patted his disciple's shoulder to show encouragement.
Picking up a few baskets of seedlings, almost all the people in the village followed to Wang Banshan's already ridged and neat field, looking at the big-bellied woman and her party laughing and clumsily demonstrating, her clothes were soon stained with mud, and her skirt was also rolled up a little rudely, with the movement of her hands, the ruddy and slightly chubby face was also stained with mud marks, but the man who followed behind her, cautious, was like looking at the most beautiful woman in the world, full of love and appreciation.
Looking at the more and more skillful movements of the tenants, Wang Anshi on the side couldn't bear it, rolled up his trouser legs and went down to the ground, sweating and starting to work, this scene made Feng Zongdao, the lieutenant envoy who was ordered by the emperor to visit the prime minister in person, look at it rightly, Feng Zongdao did not come once, when Wang Anshi celebrated his birthday in the tenth year of Xining, he personally sent congratulatory gifts to the emperor, but at that time it was in Jiangning City, although not luxurious, but the atmosphere was solemn, or the first time to see such a farmer Wang Daxianggong, Therefore, this anecdote followed Feng Zongdao and came to the Jingfu Hall of the Imperial Palace in the capital.
The emperor is taking a group of ministers to inspect the treasury, the rows of dusty bungalows, but they are full of gold silk, now the Great Song River Qinghai Yan, no internal and external troubles, although after many disasters, but the treasury is full of a year, in exchange for any emperor to write happiness undisguised on his face.
"Lai Zhongqing's concerted efforts and good governance have led to such abundance today!" The emperor's eyes swept over the ministers, and said with a smile, and the ministers bowed down, and they did not dare to take credit and praise His Majesty.
"Liu Aiqing, how is the rice and wheat cropping?" The emperor saw Liu Xiaohu standing in the second column, and asked hurriedly.
Liu Xiaohu, who was dressed in an official robe, did not look very good-looking, and he hesitated a little but still bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, because of the recent rain, a large section of wheat was damaged, and the minister did not dare to plant rice, but he was afraid that the wheat and rice tools would be destroyed." ”
Hearing this, the emperor's happy mood dropped a little, and he couldn't hide his displeasure and said: "Since the beginning of the year, the local newspaper has multiplied the grain planting, if it doesn't work, isn't it empty labor?" ”
Liu Xiaohu bowed down and lowered his head to prevent people from noticing his tense lips, he knew that this matter was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be really so difficult, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritated in his heart, how could it be so difficult? Why not? Just as he was impatient, he heard everyone around him laughing, and hurriedly retracted his senses, and looked up to see that the emperor had not only recovered his joy, but was a little excited.
"To raise happiness, always cherish the sorrow of Fu, move filial piety is loyal, dare to slack off the righteousness of thinking." The emperor sighed faintly, and his eyes seemed to be about to cross the palace, and go to the teacher who had no selfish interest in serving the country, "The prime minister has always been worried about the country and the people. As he spoke, he looked at Feng Zongdao again, "Is this thing really comparable to rice and wheat?" The most resistant to famine? ”
Feng Zongdao nodded hurriedly, and at the same time said a few words dug out of the villagers' mouths, during which he naturally mixed his exaggerated opinions, because Wang Anshi did not tell him in detail, only said that he would not know until he was planted, and it was too early to say, and he did not mention it at all in the letter of thanks to the emperor.
"In this way, it is really my great blessing." The emperor said excitedly, muttering to himself, "Lady Cao, it's really a strange woman." ”
With Feng Zongdao's narration, all the courtiers also talked about it, and Liu Xiaohu's face was even worse, his hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves, and a layer of sweat appeared on his head.
"His Majesty has this grain to benefit the people, and the minister also has a gift today, this thing can benefit the people's clothing and cold-resistant, the name of the thing is called Bai Diezi, originally scattered and Fujian Road all over the country, the minister traveled to collect seeds, now at home breeding is early, this thing is drought tolerant, planted into a mu of seed cotton lint cotton are up to four or five hundred catties, and cottonseed can be squeezed oil, can replace the lamp of vegetable oil."
