Xiao Jin and his entourage soon arrived at their destination.

He took out the drawings from his bosom, confirmed that this was the recorded saline land, and asked the officials to go around the fields to check the soil, and only after seeing them nod, did he look at the wheat.

The wheat grew very well, the ears of wheat were heavy, and Xiao Jin was visibly happy.

Huang Laohan and the others also came, pushing a small homemade cart with a prey harvesting wheat on it.

He clasped his elbows with his hands and walked expressionlessly, until he walked in front of Xiao Jin, and a little emotion appeared on his face.

"Master, everyone has brought it."

Xiao Jin nodded slightly, looked at Huang Laohan and the others, and without waiting for the village chief to introduce Huang Laohan to one or two, he said:

"When everyone arrives, let's get started."

Huang Laohan didn't know that Xiao Jin was the new county magistrate, and when he heard him speak, he subconsciously looked at the village chief, and when he saw the village chief nodding, he waved his hand back and moved up.

Xiao Jin naturally noticed this situation, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and stopped the sword holding the sword to step forward to blame Huang Laohan for being disrespectful.

He turned around in disunderstanding, only to see his master shaking his head disapprovingly.

He pursed his lips, let go of the hilt of his sword, and stepped back.

In my heart, I despise Huang Laohan even more, a group of rude village husbands and vulgar people, and they really can't be on the stage.

Huang Laohan and his entourage have been planting crops for many years, harvesting wheat, and the action is very fast.

After the wheat was cut, it was carried to a cart and taken to the open space in the village to dry.

When the sun is almost dry, you can start threshing.

If it is in Huang Laohan's own village, there are many people who farm the land and few people who buy cattle, so most of the threshing is done with chain flails.

People stand in a row, raise the "slivers" of the flail, and then pat them hard, and the wheat grains can come out.

It's just that this thing is not so easy to control, and when some people get it, the "sliver" flips not smoothly, and there is no strength when it falls, so when the chain is beaten, it will keep others away from it to avoid accidentally hurting people.

And if the strength of this thing is not well mastered, there will be a situation where the existing ones have not been taken off, and some have been crushed into powder.

When the village chief was young, he also planted land in Yuzhou Mansion, so he naturally knew the shortcomings of this flail.

Few people in the village went to the county now, and after discussing with the elders and chiefs of the two clans overnight, he unanimously decided to use the village oxen to pull the stone stone to crush the wheat.

Xiao Jin has been an official for generations, and his grandfather is a bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy in the former dynasty, and his father was born at the wrong time.

The Xiao family was in a slump for a period of time, until Xiao Jin was admitted to the Jinshi Meritorious Service, entered the Hanlin Academy, and became a Jishi, and then regained his vitality.

The following year, there was a woman next to the Xiao family, who was selected for the show, and was appointed as a concubine by Emperor Jingyong and given a title.

Emperor Jingyong's attitude is obvious, he wants to reuse the Xiao family.

The promotion of saline-alkali land improvement this time is Xiao Jin's opportunity.

It's just that he didn't know the process of wheat harvesting, and he only thought that he could weigh it and report it to Emperor Jingyong after harvesting from the ground, so when he saw the wheat stalks on the shuttle, his brows were furrowed.

He turned his head to look at the village chief, "Why do you want to take the wheat away?" Can't be weighed at the moment? ”

But they brought with them all the iron scales for weighing grain.

The village chief was slightly stunned, it was the first time he had heard this kind of question, and he almost didn't react.

"Back to my lord, after this wheat is harvested, you need to go to the wheat field to be exposed.

After it is dried, it is then rolled with a stone stone to separate the straw wheat grains, and finally the dust in it is blown away by the wind before it can be bagged and weighed. ”

Xiao Jin was a little confused, "Then how long will it take for this process to come down?" ”

"It depends on the sky, if the sun is good, there are not many wheat seeds, and the village has enough manpower, it can be bagged in a few days at most."

The village chief naturally only said that he had already asked the old man, and if nothing else, it would be sunny these days.

However, it was only a few days, and he could afford to wait, Xiao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, stopped talking to the village chief, put his hands behind his back, and stood in the shade looking at the old man Huang who was working hard in the field.

The time flickered to noon, the sun became more and more intense, as if entering the hot summer, Rao was standing in the shade, after a long time, his forehead was full of dense beads of sweat.

Xiao Jin couldn't hold it anymore, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and looked at the old man Huang who was still bending over to cut wheat, and his heart was a little moved.

As everyone knows, Huang Laohan and they can't hold it anymore.

Someone silently approached Huang Laohan, his voice weak, "It's time for lunch, why doesn't that person shout to stop?" ”

Huang Laohan put the straw away, raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his face with his arm, "I didn't see that the village chief of this Luoshan Village was respectful to that person, what kind of official is Xu."

If he doesn't speak, who dares to speak, let's insist on it. ”

"Okay."

The village chief is old, and he was in a coma a few days ago, which will be a little unbearable, but the county order does not speak, how dare he let everyone rest.

The village chief rubbed his aching waist, looked at the side of the road, and was relieved to find a child running over.

The child was stopped by Hui Niang casually, and asked him to come to the field and ask the village chief to go back for lunch.

He doesn't know what officials are, let alone salute officials, he only knows that he must do what his grandmother explains, and if he is disobedient, he will be beaten by his parents and grandparents.

Therefore, he ran all the way, skipped Xiao Jin, and went straight to the village chief, immature and voiced, "Grandpa, grandma said that the meal is ready, let me call you back to eat!" ”

"I see."

The village chief rubbed his head and looked at Xiao Jin, "Lord County Commander, what do you see?" ”

Xiao Jin wanted to leave this place for a long time, but everyone didn't ask for it, if he said to leave, it would seem that he was a little "delicate".

He didn't know if there was any eyeliner inserted by Emperor Jingyong among the officials brought here, and he didn't dare to find out, so no matter how hard he tribulated, he had to endure it.

This will make the village chief speak, but give him a step.

Xiao Jin immediately waved his hand and said, "You have also worked hard, as the saying goes, only full food can be powerful."

At this time, it is time for dinner, so you can also rest, go back to eat, take a short rest after the meal, recharge your energy, and leave again when the sun is cooler in the afternoon. ”

Xiao Jin said this in a crepe, Huang Laohan and they picked out the words they could understand, and they were overjoyed.

'Rest, go back, and leave again in the afternoon'

I can finally rest.

Several people put the wheat harvesting things directly into the shady place in the field, wiped the sweat off their faces, and walked to the edge of the field with each other's arms.

Xiao Jin didn't want to stay for a long time, so after speaking, he said to the village chief: "Let's go." ”

The village chief naturally responded, but he didn't worry about Huang Laohan and them, but fortunately, Su Mo gave him a look and asked him to follow Xiao Jin first.

The village chief then followed and left.

When they walked away, Su Mo hurriedly beckoned to Chen Yuanhai, "Quick, go and help them." ”

Chen Yuanhai responded and strode over, his body was strong, and he had been here for so long, as if he was fine.

In the past, I first held on, but when I saw that their legs were weak and they walked very slowly, I simply stood forward and carried them to the edge of the field one by one.

They were all tired like this, and it was impossible for them to walk back on their own.

Chen Yuanhai looked left and right, and his eyes fell on the cart transporting wheat.
