Chapter 110: A Great Harvest

Jing Yi knew that since the emperor had made a will, there was no room for maneuver, and she could only follow Xiao Yilin into Beijing in accordance with the order.

It seems inevitable that she will face some strife. In that case, she had to think about it. This side of the house also has to be arranged.

Fortunately, her uncle can protect her mother at home, and she is more relieved.

Jing Yi had to say: "Okay, when the winter wheat is harvested and put into the warehouse, I will follow you into Beijing after arranging the affairs of the family." Will I not be able to keep my winter wheat too? ”

Faced with the little girl's reluctance, Xiao Yilin was a little weak-hearted, "Your winter wheat seeds are so good, you must bring them back to the capital." Winter wheat must be promoted, and the winter wheat you harvest must be seeded. But don't worry, the imperial court will definitely buy it at a reasonable price, and I will also leave you enough seeds. ”

Jing Yi knew that he couldn't hold on to his winter wheat, so he took the opportunity to put forward conditions, "Not only me, but the people in the village also want to plant winter wheat, and Village Chief Wang has already set seeds with me." The seeds they need must also be set aside. ”

Xiao Yilin's eyes were full of pampering and nodded, "Okay, don't worry, stay all." ”

Jing Yi saw Xiao Yilin have this kind of look again, and quickly avoided his gaze, "Brother Xiao, it's not too early, let's go back quickly." ”

Xiao Yilin nodded a little disappointed, "Let's go, go home." ”

Xiao Yilin and the others went back to the old courtyard directly, Mei Huanzhang saw that there were three fewer people who came back, and the guards who came back knew that things were not simple.

He frowned and asked, "Brother Yan'er, what's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Jing Yi said: "We met the assassins, and we came to assassinate Brother Xiao. ”

Xiao Yilin didn't want Mei Huanzhang to have a worse impression of him, and said: "I'm really sorry for making Jing Yan frightened today." ”

Jing Yi waved her hand, "It's nothing, I'm not afraid of these." ”

Mei Huanzhang frowned and said, "Do you know who sent it?" ”

Xiao Yilin shook his head, "I don't know yet, but there is a living mouth that should be able to be interrogated." Left is just someone sent by my brothers. ”

This is what Mei Huanzhang is most worried about, "Then will they already know the identity of Li Jingyan?" Will it be bad for Jingyan? ”

Xiao Yilin said: "I will leave people to protect this place." ”

Jing Yi doesn't want to live under the noses of others. Xiao Yilin wants to leave people to protect them, which is similar to spying on them.

"No need, Brother Xiao, we have the means to protect ourselves. And it doesn't necessarily mean that our news is known to those people. ”

Of course, Mei Huanzhang didn't want his family to have too much to do with King Jing, "King Jing doesn't have to bother, my people will protect their mother and son." And I'm here, even if someone really comes to trouble, I'll let him come and go. ”

Xiao Yilin saw that the nephew and uncle were pushing like this, but he was no longer reluctant to send someone to protect him, he just sent someone to protect him secretly.

However, some things still have to be thoroughly understood with Mr. Mei first, so that he can be mentally prepared, "Mr. Mei, Jingyan may have to enter Beijing with me in a few days, this is my father's will." When we leave, I will ask Mr. Mei to protect Aunt Liu, so that Jingyan can rest assured. ”

Mei Huanzhang asked, "Why did the emperor let Jingyan enter Beijing?" ”

Then he thought of Lin Xiuhan's emphasis on winter wheat and Xiao Yilin's purpose for coming this time, and said, "Is it because of the winter wheat that is being harvested now?" ”

Xiao Yilin nodded, "My father attaches great importance to farming, and this Jingyan trial planting of this winter wheat has undoubtedly created a new cultivation method. This is too important for the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, the father wanted to summon Jingyan to reward her. ”

Xiao Yilin knew that his father had the intention of calling the little girl to Beijing to see her, after all, he intended to choose the little girl to be the princess, and of course his father attached great importance to the selection of this princess.

Xiao Yilin didn't dare to say it now, for fear of scaring the Chu family.

Mei Huanzhang also knew that since the emperor of the Jin Kingdom had issued an order, the niece had to enter Beijing, "You must enter Beijing for the banquet, and I will take care of it at home, you don't have to worry." Don't tell your mother about it, lest she be worried. ”

Because she wanted to know the yield of winter wheat as soon as possible, Jingyi asked people to pile up the wheat of the ten acres of land cut in front of her, and then threshed and weighed the yield per mu separately.

Village Chief Wang saw that Jingyi's harvest field was not enough, so he asked her to use the village harvest field, anyway, there is no wheat to harvest in other families in the village, and the harvest field is idle, so it is better to lend it to the Chu family first.

The weather is not only hot, but also windless, and that's exactly what the wheat field needs now.

Early in the morning, Jingyi asked the long-term workers to start the stall, and they spread the wheat thickly in the field, during which they had to keep turning and receiving the sun's exposure.

It was almost noon, and when the wheat was dry, it was ready to be rolled with stones. Many families in the village have stone stones, so Jing Yi simply rented them from the villagers. Those who have livestock are also rented.

In this way, the stone can be pulled by the livestock, saving manpower. The man who drives the cattle holds a rope in his left hand and a whip in his right hand, and carries a dung basket on his shoulder so that the oxen can poop.

He shouted, and the ox pulled the stone stone, over and over again, in circles, and the ox walked unhurriedly, and the stone stone followed closely behind, squeaking and twisting non-stop. Wheat kernels that have been dried in the sun can easily fall off

The mill is a circular motion, and the man who drives the cattle can drive the animals by simply standing in the middle and pulling the rope and waving the whip, and as long as he does not stop, the stone will keep squeaking and writhing.

Jing Yi and Wang Xuhuai stood on the edge of the threshing field and watched the scene of rolling wheat inside.

Wang Xuhuai said: "This stone stone is the same as the land, is the lifeblood of the Zhuang family, if the stone stone is idle and useless, and you can't hear the squeaky stone squeak, then it must be a famine year, and everyone will starve."

I hope that I can hear this stone stone every year in the future, which means that it is a good harvest. ”

Jing Yi said: "Uncle Wang, I am going to plant soybeans for the second crop, and I have to use this stone stone when I harvest soybeans, and then you can hear it again." ”

Wang Xuhuai laughed when he heard this: "I hope your auspicious words can come true." No, you're so sure it will come true. ”

Jing Yi smiled: "Don't worry, I promise not to disappoint you." ”

The speculation that the two of them were chatting on the edge of the threshing field, and Wang Xuhuai's laughter sounded from time to time, which showed how happy the old man was.

Soon the threshing of wheat on several acres of land was completed at the same time, and after weighing, the yield of one acre of land was about three stones.

In order to see the real yield, this wheat Jingyi did not use the slightest ability when the wheat was growing, but just put some effort into watering and fertilizing. In addition, the wheat seeds have been optimized by her.

Jing Yi asked Village Chief Wang, the general yield of wheat planted in Yunxi Village is about one stone, and the harvest year is more than one stone, and now the yield of wheat she planted is three stones per mu, which simply shocked everyone.

Wang Xuhuai excitedly pointed to the wheat and said in a trembling voice: "Harvest, harvest." ”
