Chapter 172: The approval of Master Da Nong Simi

Others were thinking about how to find evidence to prove that Gu Shao was a traitor who deceived and flattered, but Master Da Nong Simi was different from these people. He was born in a peasant family, and after he was admitted to fame, he was not good at deceit, but he was good at farming and studied hard.

The time spent in the court was far less than the time he spent in the field.

In the Great Zhou court, his opinion on agricultural affairs, he said second, no one dared to call it first.

He was looking for sweet potatoes with enthusiasm, but his eyes fell on the rice that was being dried, and his eyes were shocked, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and then picked up a handful of rice from the ground and looked at it carefully.

"If the grains are full, I don't know how many rice grains are on the rice?" Da Nongsi muttered quietly, and the curiosity about rice in his heart even exceeded that of sweet potatoes.

The yield of rice is higher than that of wheat, and double cropping can be planted in the south, so the most important food in Dazhou is rice now, but wheat is reduced to second, because wheat is planted for a long time and the yield is low, but because it is suitable for winter planting, it can be staggered with rice, but there are also people in the south who grow rape in winter.

At this time, Lord Liu took a box from the hand of the official behind him and handed it to the Great Agricultural Division, "Master Mi, because after the rice is ripe, it cannot be delayed, so the lower official asked people to collect the rice from Lijia Village, and compare it with the rice from other villages." The ears of rice in Lijia Village are not only full, but also have more than 160 grains per ear, and each rice plant can be divided into seven to eight rice ears. ”

When he heard this, he was quite shocked, because last year he asked people to select only 96 large ears of rice from all over the country, and each plant could produce a maximum of five ears of rice.

The amount of rice in Lijia Village is much higher than the usual best rice in the Great Zhou, and it has almost doubled.

"Lord Liu, is this true?" Da Nongsi was shocked, and calculated in his heart how much rice could be harvested in Lijia Village this season.

Liu Xianling personally counted it, and of course he was sure, "Master Mi, what this official said is true." The rice in Lijia Village has been harvested, and Mi Daren cannot see the rice growing in the ground, but he can calculate the yield per mu by weighing all the rice in Lijia Village and measuring all the rice fields in their village. Even if Mi-sama doesn't weigh it, the official will do it. Such a good rice seed, the official also wants to buy it at a high price, and then vigorously promote it for other people under his rule to plant. ”

Hearing this, Master Da Nong Simi nodded, "Although this method is a little stupid, it is also accurate. According to the official's calculations, the rice yield of this Lijia village is twice the yield of rice in other villages in one season, or even more. ”

The county made Lord Liu's heart hot, and he guessed that it was more than twice as much.

No matter what, after two days, after all the rice of Liu Niangzi's family is dried, you can weigh it, and you can get an accurate number.

"Yes, the same is true of Xiaguan's guess." The county ordered Lord Liu to respond, and his heart was excited.

Those old men are very knowledgeable, and although they know whole grains, they are not good at farming. Therefore, when they see these paddies, they don't feel much.

Lord Qin Cha Gu is deeply favored by His Majesty, and he patrols the world on behalf of the heavens, especially in the south of the Yangtze River.

The north is prone to drought and locust plagues, and although there will be floods in the south, the frequency is relatively few, and the grain production is very high, so it gradually becomes the granary of the Great Zhou.

Emperor Zhou Ping put Gu Shao, a trusted official, in the south, supervised hundreds of officials in the south, and had important tasks to deal with various disasters and grain planting.

This time, once confirmed, Gu Shao will be able to make a great contribution, comparable to the merit of opening up the territory.

The group walked to the entrance of the valley, went around the big rocks and entered, and suddenly became enlightened.

These people live in caves, and almost every house has a threshing floor at their doorstep, but each family has some sweet potato plots.

This is explained by the county order Lord Liu, and there is a contrast, so that the sweet potatoes planted by Liu Niangzi are good.

At this time, Liu Paner came back from the field and was sitting on a stool to rest for a while, eating the melon cut by her daughter Li Rong.

It's sweet in the mouth, and it's delicious in the heart.

At this time, seeing so many people in official uniforms coming, the leader was Qin Messenger Gu Shao.

Liu Pan'er hurriedly swallowed the melon in her mouth and said loudly to Li Rong: "Ah Rong, go wash a few more melons and pick a few bunches of grapes." Lord Qincha has brought someone here, so let's entertain you. Ah Fang, go to the village chief's house next door, if the village chief is not at home, let your Grandma Cuihua come over. Ali, hurry up and go to the field, call the village chief's grandfather and Dashan's grandfather, and say that Lord Qincha has come over with many officials. ”

"Yes, mother." Li Rong responded and hurried to pick grapes, wash grapes, and wash melons.

Li Fang went next door to find Zhou Cuihua.

Li Li trotted and went to the field to call people.

Liu Pan'er quickly deployed, and then carried two new wooden basins, fetched clean water, and put them on the stool to wash the hands of these adults.

Liu Paner tidied up her appearance, smiled cutely, and was generous.

From a distance, Gu Shao saw a man wearing a peach-colored three-quarter sleeved gown and azure pants, standing quietly and looking this way.

He smiled unconsciously and was in a happy mood.

Liu Paner stepped forward and gave a blessing to all the adults, "Say hello to all the adults, it's hot outside, and it's cool under the bamboo shed." ”

The midday sun was still hot, and everyone's mouth was dry.

Liu Paner predicted that there would be people in the capital, so she asked people to build a larger bamboo shed in the courtyard early, and put two bamboo tables and many small stools.

Qin Cha Gu Shao smiled, "There is Lao Liu's lady." ”

These adults also heard about this Liu Niangzi along the way, but most of them were skeptical and didn't believe it.

Not to mention a country girl, even a girl carefully cultivated by the family, may not have such profound insights and courage.

Everyone sat down, and Li Rong came over with the melon seeds and washed grapes that had been deducted, and respectfully placed them on the table, "Adults use it slowly." ”

Qin sent Gu Shao to beckon the old man to wash his hands and eat melons, "Take a short rest, and let people measure the size of the sweet potato field later, and then start digging, and the old people can let people weigh it on the spot." ”

A few people have already gone to the sweet potato field just now, especially the big agricultural division, and they can be sure that this land has not been tampered with, that is, it was originally grown here, and it was not transplanted later.

Master Simi didn't care about resting, and went to the sweet potato field in front of other people's houses to have a look, and after walking around, he was even more sure that there was no cheating.

Qin sent Gu Shao to personally take a bunch of grapes and handed it to Master Simi, "My lord, the melon is cold, don't eat it, eat some grapes." ”

Master Simi took over half a bunch of grapes, and was in a good mood, "I want to eat the melon, and I want to taste the grapes." This grape is actually dark purple, and the official used to eat all green. ”

Da Nongsi tasted it, and his eyes lit up, "This purple grape tastes good and is very sweet. ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "If Master Mi likes such grapes, when the women cut out the grape tree seedlings, they will definitely give them to the adults." ”

Master Mi learned that these sweet potatoes were discovered by the Liu Lady in front of him and tried to plant them, and he kept praising Liu Pan'er, "Okay, the official will definitely thank Liu Niangzi again when the time comes." ”

"Thank you, Mistress Mi." Liu Pan'er responded, smiled happily, and respected this black and thin farmer even more.
