211 Wheat weighing

The village chief hurriedly explained, "I've already asked people to invite them." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo walked over from the side of the road.

The village chief's eyes lit up, beckoned to Su Mo, and then said to Xiao Jin: "My lord, Gu Su is here." ”

Xiao Jin looked sideways and saw Su Mo coming, his face softened slightly, and he waved his hand without waiting for Su Mo to salute: "Mrs. Gu doesn't have to be polite, come over quickly." ”

Su Mo quickened his pace and walked to Xiao Jin's side, with a just right smile on his face, and thanked him.

Xiao Jin bowed slightly, didn't speak, and stared at Manyi's side.

Seeing this, Su Mo also followed Xiao Jin's line of sight.

I saw several servants take out the bags of wheat that they had selected and put aside, then open the bags and pour them into the basket one by one.

Manyi kept staring, and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded slightly, and asked the officials to start weighing the wheat.

The two officials stood on one side and lifted the flat pole carrying the basket, and the other officer took it and weighed it, first hooked the hemp rope of the basket with a hook, and then dialed the weighing stone to determine the weight.

And standing next to him was a servant with paper and charcoal.

The weighed officer subtracted the weight of the basket from the weight of the basket, and the officer who took the pen and paper registered it on the paper.

After weighing a basket, immediately a servant re-bagged it and put it in the open space on the other side, so as not to be confused again, and weigh it again in vain.

There are still a few sacks of wheat left in the selected wheat, and they are all weighed according to this method, and when they are sure that there is no problem, they wave their hands, and the other officials understand it, take out the hemp rope that has been prepared a long time ago, tie it and put it on the ground.

They lifted the sack over and put it on top of the hemp rope, one person held the sack, and the other two began to fiddle with the hemp rope, going around left and right, and finally pulling, so that the hemp rope formed a protective net, and the sack was firmly fixed.

The rest of the steps are the same as weighing in a basket.

Two officials lifted the sack through the hemp rope with a flat pole, and then one of the officials weighed the wheat with a scale in the middle, and the other took a pen and paper to mark the weight.

Xiao Jin and the others were already past noon when they came, and when all the wheat was weighed, it was just the sunset, and the red glow in the sky was beautiful.

The official in charge of keeping the weight quickly played with the abacus and calculated the total weight as quickly as possible.

"Tell my lord, the total weight is three thousand and twenty-eight catties and six taels, and the average yield per mu is four hundred and thirty-two catties, which can be divided into medium fields."

Before Emperor Jingyong became emperor, he was an authentic peasant, and after he ascended the throne, he naturally inevitably became a heavy farmer, and the taxes on the fields were relatively relaxed.

And after completely controlling the government, the Agricultural Department Bureau was set up, which was responsible for experimenting with the cultivation of rice and wheat in the royal fertile fields, sparing no human and financial resources, and it took more than ten years, which more than doubled the yield of rice and wheat per mu, and redefined the grading standard of the field.

Take wheat as an example, if the yield per mu is more than 500 catties, it is a high-quality good land, if the yield per mu is 300 catties to 500 catties, it is a medium field, and if the yield per mu is less than 300 catties, it is a low-class field.

And this successful saline-alkali land, growing crops is already surprising enough, Su Mo didn't want to be too top-notch, so he didn't use the things of the system mall, but was a hands-off shopkeeper, and handed over the basic matters of planting to the village chief and Huang Laohan They were in charge.

But even so, the words spoken by the officials could not help but shock and excite all those present.

You must know that before last year, it was still a saline-alkali land with no grass, and not a single grain of crops could be grown, but after using the improved method proposed by Su Mo, this land can be divided into medium fields, not to mention wheat......

The eyes of everyone looking at Su Mo became hot, even Xiao Jin.

He came from Yanjing, so he naturally knew the extent to which the saint reused agriculture today.

The successful improvement of saline-alkali land is shocking enough, so the saint has little confidence in its yield per mu, and even said: It is a gift from God to produce 200 catties per mu.

Therefore, the original holy decree was only to reward Gu Su's success in improving the saline-alkali land and growing crops.

And now, the yield per mu is more than 400 catties, more than double the estimated yield per mu of the saint, if this news is transmitted back, the saint will be overjoyed, and maybe the Su family will be summoned to Yanjing to enter the palace to face the saint.

The Dayong Dynasty is open to the people, and the iron-blooded means of the saint have long been completely in control of the government, and he does not shy away from men and women and does not pay attention to his life experience.

Except for the fact that women are not allowed to take scientific examinations, as long as they have the ability and enter his eyes, they will be reused.

For example, the daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei - Shangguan Yuan, grew up in the frontier since childhood, does not love red makeup and loves arms, at the age of 14 he followed the Marquis of Dingbei to the battlefield, repeatedly made military exploits, was appointed by the Holy Lord as the general of the red tassel, the official residence of the three products, during the period in Beijing, can go to court with hundreds of civil and military officials.

Or the young daughter of Lin Sikong of the Agricultural Division Bureau - Lin Ye, the daughter inherits her father's business, and is gifted in improving crops.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin only felt that his throat was a little dry, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.

Probably in order to revive the Xiao family, he said that he had been dancing since he was a child, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he had been dancing since he was a child.

And this Gu Su's didn't know where to find a way to improve the soil quality, reported it to Fang Shi, and then waved his hand, and didn't care about anything, this saline-alkali land was really successfully improved and wheat was planted.

And that Fang Shi did not take credit, he played the court truthfully, and finally Fang Shi was reinstated because of this official, and Gu Su easily won the favor of the saint, and I am afraid that he will have a bright future in the future.

Xiao Jin's throat rolled, and he looked at Su Mo next to him quietly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Su Mo noticed the eyes handed by Xiao Jin, she just pretended not to know, looking at the sacks full of wheat, with a look of trying her best to restrain her emotions but couldn't help but her eyebrows were crooked.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin retracted his gaze, he always felt that this Gu Su gave him a very strange feeling, and he couldn't say what was wrong.

Anyway, he has come to Luoshan Village many times, and this Gu Su clan has advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and has never made a mistake......

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin's heart jumped, yes, yes, he finally knew that something was wrong.

This Gu Su clan should not be underestimated!

Xiao Jin was a little short of breath, and he suddenly remembered that when he went to visit the mountain chief of Sanqing Academy before, he had met Xie Wenci, who was teaching at the village school in Luoshan Village.

That Xie Wenci is a personal disciple of the mountain chief, and he does have real materials, but he is not lucky, otherwise he would have been a high school jinshi a long time ago.

And Xie Wenci once said that he had taken in two talented children in the village school in Luoshan Village, and he would take them to the mountain chief when he was free.

One of them is called Gu Jinnian... seems to be the second son of Gu Su's family.

Xiao Jin's heartbeat became more and more chaotic, but his mind was also more and more clear.

If his guess is correct, then it is based on the mind of taking care of the Su clan and the news he has learned.

She is afraid that she has been planning to go to Yanjing for a long time, and all this she is doing now is to pave the way to Yanjing......

The Gu family, an orphan and widow, has no power, no power and no wealth, and if he rushes to Beijing, he will definitely end up in embarrassment.

But today's Gu family is different, the money has a thousand taels of silver rewarded by the saint, and the power... There is a way to improve the soil quality, and the saint is the backer of the Gu family.

And his son was resigned by Xie Wen into the door, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the head of the Sanqing Academy.

If he is summoned by the Holy Lord to Beijing and settle in Yanjing in the future, the population of this family is simple, and there is no need to worry about having troublesome relatives.

If the people in the same village are fake tigers, they can also glimpse everything, just because the Gu family is favored by the village and the Gu Su clan makes the villagers of Luoshan Village have land to plant, it is simply not worth mentioning.
