Yuan Rui didn't know about the affairs of the court at all, he had been at home and hadn't gone anywhere during this time.

Before returning from Songjiang, he sent documents to the court officials and the Huai Wangfu at the same time, giving a detailed explanation of what Songjiang had done.

There's no way, I'm still an official, and it's a sin not to be allowed to leave easily.

First of all, the ministry replied that it had been filed normally, because Yuan Rui was engaged in the Huai Wangfu, and the ministry did not make arrangements.

King Huai's Mansion also replied, because King Huai was still at the border, indicating that the documents had been transferred to Longzhou, and let him wait at home.

Now, Yuan Rui is happy, he finally doesn't have to be busy with those who don't know the so-called official business, isn't it good to raise flowers and fish at home!

The last time Miss Xu came, she didn't leave for many days, Yuan Rui was a little strange, but seeing that she and Xiaohe were very compatible, almost inseparable, Yuan Rui was relieved, it was rare to have a place to stay, and it was normal to stay longer.

But after following Yuan Rui to the field a few times, Miss Xu couldn't help it, she didn't understand some of his methods at all.

Yuan Rui often took the two of them to the paddy field reserved separately, which was a test field specially arranged by Yuan Rui, and it has been two consecutive years.

The largest ear of rice harvested in Xining's ninth year, Xining's first attempt in ten years, is indeed planted according to fine refinement.

Not only is he particularly careful when raising seedlings, but also in the process of growing, fertilizing, weeding, adding water, and waterproofing, Yuan Rui is looking for a very experienced local farmer.

In the first attempt in Xining's ten years, the average yield per mu of this field reached 530 catties, and looking at Jianghuai, it can be said that it is already a high yield.

Of these harvested rice, they were screened again, leaving behind better varieties.

Xining made a second attempt in the eleventh year, and the average yield per mu reached 580 catties, don't look at this increase of more than 50 catties, but Yuan Rui knew that this direction was right, so that the seeds were slowly optimized and protected, and the future would be higher.

This year is the third attempt, Yuan Rui secretly made arrangements, and when breeding, he deliberately advanced it and put it in the room to raise the temperature.

Ignoring the opposition of others, he let people plant more than half a month in advance, and went over every day to check the situation.

Miss Xu came a few times, listened to Yuan Rui chatting with several old farmers, and slowly understood clearly.

She is not the kind of Miss Jiao who does not distinguish between grains and grains, she manages many fields in the Guogong Mansion, and she also knows a lot about agricultural products, but she has never heard of Yuan Rui's practice.

Listening to some of his conversations with the old farmers, Miss Xu still didn't understand the idea of rice planting.

Listening to him boast to the old farmer that this year's yield per mu is expected to reach 700 catties per mu, Miss Xu was stunned, what kind of joke is it, what does it mean to harvest 700 catties of rice, she knows.

The 10,000 mu of paddy fields in the Guogong Mansion alone increased by 300 catties per mu, which is 3 million catties, which is enough for 30,000 border troops to last for one month.

She immediately began to ask in detail on the side, Yuan Rui looked at her questioning look on her face, but he didn't rush to explain anything to her.

made a bet with her directly, there were no seven hundred catties, Yuan Rui specially sent a gift to her, knowing that she was satisfied.

If it reaches 700 catties, Miss Xu only needs to do him a favor, simple, the land of the Guogong Mansion here in Yangzhou should be planted according to Yuan Rui's requirements, and he can't raise objections as he arranges it.

Yuan Rui estimated that according to the current planting management, the average yield per mu of 700 catties can be achieved, but his goal is indeed 800 catties, which is also the highest yield that can be achieved by primitive planting.

Of course, this year, Yuan Rui also has a killer feature, that is, to plant double-cropping rice on a large scale in the Jianghuai region, which is not simply to increase the yield per mu, but to double.

His idea is to harvest the first crop of rice by the end of June and plant the second crop immediately.

Of course, the seedlings of the second crop of rice have already begun, as long as the rice is harvested here, it will be planted immediately. He wanted to try to harvest the second crop of rice by mid to late September, and as long as this was done, the food crisis in the whole of Daxia would be lifted.

Miss Xu arrived at Yuan's house on June 15, and she left Yuan Rui's house for more than a month, in order to find out how much yield per mu of paddy fields could be produced.

For more than ten days, the three of them have been walking around the paddy fields every day, and sometimes they have a stupid laugh when they look at the mountains on the side.

Yuan Rui went to Songjiang this time and found a problem, that is, there was no one around him who could do things for him.

Qi Feng is too chic, he doesn't look down on some chores at all, and of course he doesn't bother to do them.

Yuan Rui thought about whether to let Dashan run errands with him, officialdom, and some miscellaneous things inside and outside the family.

This time, Yuan Rui completely followed the most normal harvesting mode, and the golden rice grains were divided into several large piles and piled up throughout the courtyard.

This is what Yuan Rui requested, a good pile, a medium pile, and a small one, but they are all counted in the total output.

Seven hundred and twelve catties, this yield actually Yuan Rui didn't expect that in this primitive farming state, before the rice seed was not cross-bred, in principle, six hundred catties was the best result.

This time it broke through the highest yield per mu of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, which should be due to many man-made objective factors, and careful breeding management is the key.

The yield per mu is special, and most of the rice fields in ordinary people's homes cannot reach it, but Yuan Rui believes that even if the average normal cultivation is more than 600 catties, it is no problem at all.

Miss Xu stared at the whole process, every bucket was very careful, and she was also surprised when the final result came out.

Standing on the edge of the paddy field, looking at the faint smile on Yuan Rui's face, Miss Xu couldn't help but think of his words and asked in disbelief.

"Can the yield per mu of paddy fields really exceed 1,000 catties?"

"At present, 1,000 catties in a single season, according to the current form of cultivation, it is really impossible to do it, but haven't you paid attention, look at what they are doing?

Yuan Rui smiled and pointed to the people who were working in the paddy fields.

"Is this rice planting? Not just a few days after the harvest! ”

"A few days ago, after the harvest, I had the land turned over, fertilised, and refilled. I have been raising the ground, and now that the seedlings have grown, I can plant them again! ”

"What, you're planting another season, I only heard that there are two crops in Yuezhou, can Jiangnan do it?"

"It's okay, you have to try it, if this rice can be harvested before the end of September, it's okay."

"If it's two crops of rice, isn't it, isn't it, the whole Jianghuai can be ......"

Miss Xu can't figure it out, the double-cropping rice between Jianghuai, coupled with the nearly double yield per mu, is only tens of millions of acres of paddy fields in Yangzhou, an increase of 1,000 catties per mu, how much is 10 million mu?

"Not so much, you think too much."

Yuan Rui seemed to know what Miss Xu was thinking, and said with a smile.

"However, if it can be done, according to the current population of Great Xia, the people can get rid of hunger."

"Next year, I want to try planting in your Wei Guogong's paddy field, of course, so many fields, can't be managed like this delicately, just follow the planting method of ordinary people's families, the early season can reach five hundred, the late season is not less than five hundred, I will be satisfied, and I am still confident that there will be one thousand catties a year."

Three days later, Yuan Rui took Xiaohe and followed Miss Xu to Tonghai, this time I can't help but come, Lu Ergongzi is going to get married again, no matter from which aspect, Yuan Rui will come to such a happy event.

This has to start with the injury of the second son, and when he learned about the situation, the Sun family was very unhappy.

As the first household in Songjiang, he didn't find any traces in advance, so it was very undesirable for Yuan Rui and the second son to take risks.

The Sun family not only sent people to send a lot of gifts, but the head of the Sun family and several juniors of the Sun family also came to visit, including the second miss of the Sun family who was saved by the second son, Sun Yilan, it is said that it is not very convenient, but the life-saving benefactor can be understood.

In this way, the second miss of the Sun family often came to visit, and when they usually talked, the two of them really had meaning.

Not long after, the old lady of the Sun family came to the door in person and told the old lady of the Lu family that he hoped to marry the Lu family, and the second lady would marry the second son as a wife.

Seeing that the second son's body was fully recovered, the two families set the wedding date for the sixth day of this month.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, several people came to the Lu family's mansion, and there were already many guests, and many of them arrived three days ago.

Yuan Rui didn't want to be too early, the main reason was Miss Xu, this girl wanted to come and join in the fun, and muttered all the way with Xiaohe. Yuan Rui was very helpless, and then looked at the evil smile on Qi Feng's face, and he was even more angry.

This is the only Chiayi county lord in Daxia, and now he has sneaked to the Lu family, knowing that this is to give the second son face, and those who don't know think that the Lu family doesn't know what to do and snub the county lord.

Not to mention, the servants don't recognize it, and many guests don't recognize it, but the second son recognizes it, and the first time he saw Lord Xu coming in with Xiaohe, he was stunned.

Now it's not like before, although Lord Xu is the daughter of the prince, but he is also a common person, and everyone agrees with each other more.

This time it's different, the saint has given the title of Chiayi County Lord, not to mention in Tonghai, Yangzhou, the capital, there are few people who don't need to salute when they see it, if the guests in the hall know that the Chiayi County Lord is coming, they will come to kowtow and salute.

He didn't know how to greet him all of a sudden, but Lord Xu was steady, waved his hand, and declared that he was following his sister to join in the fun, not representing anyone, and he didn't have to care about her identity.

But where did the second son dare to think so, and quickly informed his father and eldest brother of the matter, even if it was not a big fanfare, he couldn't completely ignore it!

The second son let the county lord Xu to the backyard, and at this time, the old lady and Lu Ming, the eldest young grandmother Yuan Qing, the second young grandmother Zhang all came over, and even the three children in the family also came to salute the county lord together.

The county lord was not hypocritical, and when everyone in the Lu family finished the ceremony, he first invited the old man to sit down, and then pulled the two sisters up with their own hands and exchanged a few words.

Even to the child, she did not ignore it, and took a few valuables from her luggage as gifts.

The old lady meant to ask the county lord to be the first, and the county lord felt that it was not appropriate, so she wanted to find a quiet place to do it casually.

In the end, Yuan Qing gave advice, and the two young grandmothers entertained the county lord and Xiaohe in the back house, but it is better to keep quiet.
