Hu Yuanwai's eyes were black, and he almost fell to the ground.

Didn't he just want to pretend to be a force? Why was it struck by lightning right away?

Ministry of Works, how did it appear here? And it was such a coincidence that what he said just now was heard.

It doesn't matter if he scolds him a few words, but if this Wu Shangshu tells his "brother-in-law" Wang Hailin about today's incident after returning to Beijing, he will definitely not be able to cover up the fact that Wang Hailin is showing off his power and bullying his neighbors. When the time comes, Wang Hailin doesn't know how to clean him up. His real relationship with Wang Hailin spread, and he couldn't stay in Runzhou.

The thought of this made his legs limp.

"Wu Shangshu forgives the sin, Lord Du forgives the sin, the villain is confused, you two adults don't have the same knowledge as the villain. The villain has apologized to the two of you. Please also ignore the villain, spare the villain. ”

As he spoke, Hu Yuanwai knelt down without saying a word, and kowtowed to the two of them vigorously, completely ignoring that they were standing on the stalk at this time, and there was mud everywhere.

Zhou Li was dumbfounded.

Is this still the swaggering Hu Yuanwai on weekdays?

Wu Shangshu and Du Jinning didn't know the true relationship between Hu Yuanwai and Wang Hailin, and they only felt that this Hu Yuanwai reacted a little big. Didn't he just use Wang Hailin's power to put on a shelf? How can you not be afraid of this?

But thinking that Wu Shangshu is Wang Hailin's top boss, they can understand.

Wu Shangshu waved his hand in disgust: "Okay, okay, let's go quickly, we still have important things to do, and we don't have time to mess around here with you." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you Wu Shangshu for not bothering with the villain, the villain will get out, this will get out."

Hu Yuanwai didn't care about Zhou Lizheng, got up from the ground, didn't dare to look at Wu Shangshu and the others, bent over and waved his hands all the way back, and accidentally almost retreated into the rice field. Fortunately, at the critical moment, his entourage stopped him, so he didn't make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

Du Jinning never looked at this jumping clown, and made a gesture with a smile: "Gonggong Jin, please, Lord Wu, please." ”

The group walked along the field stalk and walked towards the front.

This is Du Jinning's first early rice harvest in Runzhou, which is of great significance. After she reported to the capital, Zhao Yu sent Xiao Jinzi, the eunuch in front of his palace, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry to come and inspect.

Originally, I wanted to call a director of the Ministry of Industry or Lang Zhong to come over, but Wu Zheng felt that this was a major event of the Ministry of Industry, once Du Jinning's double cropping rice harvest was excellent, it proved that this place in Runzhou can grow double cropping rice, and next year in the south of Runzhou will be planted double cropping rice, and the grain output of the Great Song Dynasty will be doubled.

So he automatically asked Ying to come to Runzhou in person.

This happened to be the scene just now.

The group walked along the field stalk for a while, and saw that the strong laborers on the Zhuangzi had arrived at the ground.

"Why did you start so early?" Grandpa Jin asked, "They haven't had breakfast yet, have they?" ”

At this time, it was not long before it dawned, which is equivalent to six o'clock in modern times. The ancients had a slow pace of life, and they usually had to go to work at eight or nine o'clock after breakfast, so Jin Gonggong asked this question.

Wu Shangshu, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is naturally proficient in agricultural affairs. However, because Jiangnan has always been a rice crop once a year, the harvest usually has to be in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, when the weather is cool, and there is no need to rush for time, the farmers naturally do not work in the fields so early.

So when he heard Gonggong Jin ask like this, he also looked at Du Jinning with an inquiring gaze.

Du Jinning pointed to the sky: "It's the hottest time of the year. At noon, the sun is hot and the temperature is extremely high, and people can't stand it in the wild, and they are very prone to heat stroke. Therefore, to harvest rice at this time, you need to work in the morning and evening, rest at noon, and arrange the time reasonably. ”

"Lord Du is really thoughtful, and the old man admires it." Wu Shangshu said sincerely.

After praising Du Jinning, he had palpitations.

Details like this are easy to overlook, because everyone's attention is all on the planting method and how many catties per mu yield. And if this detail is overlooked, resulting in the death of a farmer from heat stroke, even if there are only a dozen such incidents, it will inevitably cast a shadow on the double cropping rice. Once someone makes a rumor that double cropping rice is unlucky and will die, it will be difficult to promote it on a large scale.

It can be said that the devil is in the details.

Thinking about it this way, he looked at Du Jinning differently. I secretly made a calculation in my heart that by next year, Du Jinning must be allowed to lead the promotion of double cropping rice, instead of letting him stay in the small place of Runzhou and bury himself in his "agricultural research".

"Lord Wu praised it falsely." Du Jinning arched his hand at Wu Shangshu, and continued to explain to Gonggong Jin, "This kind of time, because you have to grab time, there is no way to let the tenant farmers cook at home slowly. Therefore, I have asked the housekeeper to organize the women and children in the Zhuangzi to make big rice balls before dawn, wrapped in bamboo leaves, two for each person, and they ate on the way from the Zhuangzi without delay. When I go back at noon, I also eat a big pot of rice, and I don't have to cook by myself. ”

She wanted to make steamed buns for these people, but this is a rice-producing area, and the transportation is not convenient. Home-grown rice is much cheaper than noodles shipped from the north. Whether it is from the perspective of economy or from the perspective of taking care of everyone's taste, it is better to cook rice balls.

"Taught." Wu Shangshu felt that it was another harvest.

Father-in-law Jin, who was in the deep palace, listened to it with relish, and kept asking all kinds of questions.

These two people received the emperor's order to come here to see with their own eyes how many catties per mu they produced.

Originally, according to the rules of Zhuangzi, it was natural for each family to do their own work. And in the family, there are always old people, children, and women mixed in, so the work is slow. It is impossible for Jin Gonggong and Wu Shangshu to stay at the edge of the field and bask in the sun all the time, let alone wait for many days.

So Du Jinning specially dispatched thirty-five strong men, Wu Shangshu pointed to which acre of field, they quickly harvested which acre of field, and after harvesting, they weighed it directly and let the subordinates brought by Wu Shangshu record it.

Wu Shangshu was proficient in agricultural affairs, and he drew two pieces of upper, middle, and lower fields, as well as two pieces of fields with beautiful corners, and recorded their respective yields per mu one by one, which was called sampling, so as to make statistics.

With so many acres of land, he originally thought that it would take two or three days to harvest, but he didn't want to finish it in two hours in the morning and in the evening because of the strong men drawn by Du Jinning. A lot of time is wasted on walking.

"What a good harvest." Looking at the recorded data in his subordinates' notebooks, Wu Shangshu was full of emotion, and his gaze at Du Jinning became more and more complicated.

Generally, the yield of rice per mu in the Song Dynasty was about two stones, but Du Jinning planted this early rice, even the inferior fields were close to three stones, and the high-grade fields were as high as four stones, and the yield per mu was doubled in one season.

If we add the yield of late rice, wouldn't one acre of land triple the grain output compared with the single-crop rice season in previous years?

Sanban, what is this concept? How many people can be fed by this!

Wu Shangshu felt excited when he thought about it, and his blood boiled.
