Chapter 218: A Precursor to a Great Harvest
Yu Yiran became a student, which is a great joy, a great joy to shine on the lintel.
After Yu Yifan came back, Yu Qiuyu couldn't wait to tell Yu Yifan the news, Yu Yifan was more mature and stable than them, although he was happy, but he didn't almost dance like Yu Qiuyu.
In Yu Qiuyu's eyes, the college entrance examination is already equivalent to the college entrance examination of their time, and it is already a great thing to be able to win the college entrance examination.
Yu Qiuyu admired Yu Yiran from the bottom of her heart, and she was happy for Yu Yiran from the bottom of her heart.
While everyone was immersed in the joy of happiness, bad news came again.
Wu Yaying went to the street to buy vegetables, but was taken away by several people.
Originally, Yu Qiuyu was anxiously waiting for Wu Yaying to come back from shopping on the street, but she couldn't wait for Wu Yaying to come back for a long time, she was about to go out to look for it, but as soon as she went out, she ran into the eldest aunt who came in a hurry.
Since their family moved to the prefect's backyard, the eldest aunt rarely came to their house, except for something important.
So the eldest aunt appeared at the door of her house, which made Yu Qiuyu very surprised.
When the eldest aunt saw Yu Qiuyu, she panicked and said, "Xiao Qiuyu, did your Mingjiang girl offend anyone?" ”
Yu Qiuyu looked at the eldest aunt suspiciously: "I used to have sins, but what's wrong?" ”
The eldest aunt told her that when Wu Yaying went to the street to buy vegetables, suddenly a carriage rushed by on the street, and when the carriage passed by Wu Yaying, several people jumped down from the carriage, and they directly pulled Wu Yaying into the carriage, and then drove the carriage away from the street quickly.
This scene happened very suddenly, and when the eldest aunt wanted to stop it, it was too late, and the carriage left quickly with Wu Yaying.
Yu Qiuyu was stunned for half a second, and she suddenly remembered that when they sent Chen Wencai away, Wu Yaying had almost met Wu Yakun's people in a narrow way.
She was nervous again.
Could it be that it was Wu Yakun's people who took Wu Yaying away this time?
If it was really Wu Yakun's person, should she be nervous or regretful?
Anyway, Wu Yakun is Wu Yaying's father, he will definitely not hurt Wu Yaying, but it is not certain whether he will force Wu Yaying to make peace, and now her brother is soft-spoken and his official position is not high, even if Wu Yaying asks the emperor if he can marry Yu Yifan, Wu Yakun may not agree to allow it.
Yu Qiuyu began to worry now, she had to think about how to make Yu Yifan get promoted quickly.
Although Lingnan experienced drought this year, this did not affect the harvest in Lingnan at all.
The rice in Lingnan has borne grains, is heavy, and is exceptionally full and strong.
Because Yu Qiuyu raised crabs and fish in the rice fields, these rice did not encounter any insect infestation, and from a distance, the harvest was exceptionally good.
Seeing this scene, Yu Qiuyu was very relieved and relieved.
It's already autumn, and now she is waiting to harvest these rices, and then inform Zhao Zhichen that she has not lived up to Zhao Zhichen's expectations, the rice harvest is extraordinarily good or something.
When the harvest was approaching, Song Zhe took the initiative to find Yu Qiuyu, who had sworn that he had a way to increase rice yield, and now was the time to verify the results.
When Yu Qiuyu told them that there was a way to increase rice yield, they did not believe that the grain harvest was always determined by providence, and they had never heard of the idea of increasing rice yield.
However, when Yu Qiuyu took him to the mountain where rice was planted, Song Zhe was really shocked when he saw the rice all over the mountain.
Needless to say, this year's rice harvest is indeed a good harvest, and the method that Yu Qiuyu said to increase grain production is indeed effective.
Shocked, Song Zhe couldn't help but ask Yu Qiuyu a question again.
"The method of increasing grain production should not only be implemented in Lingnan, right?"
Dealing with officialdom like Song Zhe requires more eyes and brains, so hearing Song Zhe ask himself like this, Yu Qiuyu immediately guessed what Song Zhe was thinking.
For example, the north of the Yellow River is relatively dry, and there is not much water in the soil, so we can only grow some drought-tolerant foods such as sweet potatoes, corn and wheat, while the south of the Yellow River is more humid and can grow rice. Moreover, the fertility of the soil also determines whether the grain production can be increased, and all aspects need to be paid attention to anyway. ”
Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe said a lot of professional things, Song Zhe didn't understand it, but he could roughly understand what Yu Qiuyu meant.
Increasing grain production is not an easy thing to do.
Looking at the rice all over the mountains, Song Zhe silently marveled in his heart for a moment, and asked again: "Increasing grain production is a great achievement, do you want any reward?" ”
As long as Zhao Zhichen reports this method to the imperial court, what awaits Yu Qiuyu will be a dazzling reward, Song Zhe is very curious, what would a person with a character like Yu Qiuyu want?
Money?
Or right?
Song Zhe would suddenly ask this kind of question, which made Yu Qiuyu a little vigilant.
In this strange and unaccompanied, any question Yu Qiuyu must answer carefully.
"In fact, whether it is power or money, in the final analysis, they all want a sense of security."
Yu Qiuyu's answer surprised Song Zhe.
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
"The official level crushes people to death, and what they want power is nothing more than wanting to be above others, so that they will not be bullied by others. And those who want money are nothing more than want to have a guarantee for their lives, money can make ghosts grind, and money can solve their troubles. I just want a sense of security. ”
What is called seeing the essence through the phenomenon, this is.
After all, it was not appropriate for her to say that she wanted power or money.
"Okay, I got it."
Yu Qiuyu's thoughts, he understood.
And Yu Qiuyu's answer was also a very smart answer.
"Rest assured, your reward will be delivered to your brother."
And the sense of security she wants, let Yu Yifan give it to her.
Yu Qiuyu hooked her lips and smiled, "Since that's the case, then thank Lord Song for your kindness." ”
Song Zhe didn't say anything, just quietly watched Yu Qiuyu for a moment.
There is still half a month before the real autumn harvest, but it can be seen from the rice seeds that this year is fruitful.
However, Song Zhe received the news again.
The border of Lingnan began to be infested with squads of people and horses, although from the current point of view, the people of this squad and squads are not a big hidden danger, but before it is uncertain which side this squad belongs to, Song Zhe can't help but care.
Regarding military affairs, that is Song Zhe's own business, Yu Qiuyu is inconvenient to ask and interfere, for Yu Qiuyu, as long as the matter does not affect Yu Yifan, does not affect her and her family, she will not care.
There was still half a month before the real autumn harvest, Yu Qiuyu did not sit at home and wait, but went to the Confucian Food Restaurant, ready to study the dishes or something, and earn some extra money for himself.
After all, no one would go for too much silver, would they?
But unlike in the past, Yu Qiuyu met a few strange people in Rushixuan on this day.
Originally, Yu Qiuyu was cooking, and he didn't stay in the kitchen for long, when a panicked Xiao Er broke in outside.
"Boss, there are a few guests outside, we really can't greet them!"
Yu Qiuyu happened to be frying vegetables, and when she heard her guy's words, she couldn't help but look back at her curiously.
What kind of guests can't even greet them?
She was curious, and the man explained: "They can't speak official language, they speak with foreign accents, we really can't understand them, and they can't write, so they threaten us with knives." ”
Forehead......
The guy was hesitant and scared, Yu Qiuyu inadvertently glanced back after stir-frying, and found that the guy's hands were shaking.
Are you so scared of something?
Yu Qiuyu was deeply speechless about the young man's psychological quality, and after bringing out the dishes he had made, Yu Qiuyu also deliberately went downstairs to take a look.
The guests that the guy said were still arguing with the guy there, and the guy was still saying in official words over and over again, and they couldn't understand the meaning of the guests for the time being, hoping that the guests could express their meaning in the form of words.
And the guests replied that they couldn't write.
The guests spoke an authentic northern dialect.
Yu Qiuyu could understand their language, and at the same time couldn't help but look at them carefully in surprise.
These people are northerners!
Northerners basically speak official language, and there is no fluent official language when they go south and north, and there is no way to communicate with others, because there are great differences in dialects around the country, and Yu Qiuyu has not met northerners in Lingnan before, but those northerners can speak official language.
These people dare to come to Lingnan without knowing the official language at all, and looking at their words and deeds, they are inevitably a little arrogant, they are so bold and reckless when they come to Lingnan, what is their identity?
Suspicion was like ripples rippling in the water, expanding in Yu Qiuyu's heart little by little, I don't know why, Yu Qiuyu felt a little uneasy when he saw a few of them.
It may be that Yu Qiuyu's gaze is too focused, and these people feel that someone is looking at them, so they follow their gaze and look back.
Coincidentally, they saw Yu Qiuyu standing on the stairs.
Yu Qiuyu was wandering, his eyes inadvertently met them, their eyes were a little fierce, and after Yu Qiuyu met their gaze, he was frightened and shrunk at that time.
The eyes of these people are really fierce, not like some good people.
Yu Qiuyu felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so he immediately lowered his head and went down the stairs and walked out of the Confucian Food Pavilion.
But what Yu Qiuyu didn't expect was that those people glanced at each other and followed Yu Qiuyu out.
