There is little frost in the late year, and the grass and trees in the world know when spring arrives.

It was early spring, the plants and trees were growing, everything was recovering, and it was the time of spring plowing every year.

In the late autumn of last year, Fang Rui transported back tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, and Yunqing bought hundreds of acres of land, including medium fields, low-grade fields, and even sandy land, about 50 acres, just to verify the yield of these crops in various fields.

Fang Dayong and Fang Rui father and son, now can be called half of the agricultural experts, under their guidance, last autumn grain harvest, at least one-fifth more than in previous years, the original mu of only 600 catties of rice, have exceeded 700 catties, the output has risen, but the rent she collected has not increased, so that Song Zhuangtou and all the tenants are grateful.

Yunqing is not stingy, and she does not have the mind that the technology must be mastered exclusively, scientific farming has achieved initial results, and she also knows that the progress is slow to promote by herself, so she talked to Xu Zhifu and showed him the real results.

In the era of farming, the method of promoting grain production, no one can refuse, Xu Zhifu was overjoyed, immediately borrowed Fang Dayong, took advantage of the slack, specially organized a training class, to teach skills to the farming experts in various townships and villages, after the training, but also to Fang Dayong rewarded, and agreed to wait until the spring ploughing, to invite him to go everywhere to guide the work, in order to increase the grain production of the whole province, to add a merit to his resume.

Xu Zhifu also sighed with his wife, and said very complacently: "I know that Yun Dao Chang's skills are extraordinary, and there is no harm in making friends with her, you see now, this mansion is sitting at home, and the credit can be sent to the hand, who can have the blessing of this mansion?" ”

Mrs. Tao nodded on the side and said: "The old man's eyes are like torches, he saw early that the chief of the cloud is not ordinary, and he is good friends with the chief of the road, and the concubine will definitely continue to maintain a good relationship with the chief of the cloud in the future, protect the industry of the chief of the Tao, maintain the tranquility of the Xuanzhen Temple, and ensure that the chief will not worry about mundane things." ”

The couple looked at each other and smiled, and they understood each other's meaning: who knows what else Yunqing has ability, at the moment they have the best relationship with Yunqing, so naturally they must firmly grasp it, in case there is any credit in the future, it is good to be close to the water, and the more capable people in the world, the more they can not coerce and entic, maintain a good social relationship, and have certain common interests, this is the way to get along for a long time.

Xu Zhifu's thoughts, Yun Qing may not be able to see through them completely, but it is no problem to see through seven or eight points, but, as Xu Zhifu thought, he has something to ask for Yun Qing, Yun Qing also wants something from him, with him, the chief official of the mansion, can save Yun Qing a lot of trouble, and the two sides can be regarded as mutually beneficial, and Yun Qing is striving for win-win cooperation.

Moreover, Yun Qing had shown the two of them as early as the first time he dealt with Xu Zhifu and his wife, and knew that they were both good people with a bottom line and conscience, Xu Zhifu could not be said to love the people like a son, but he also had a red heart for the country and the people, and was willing to be a good official who could protect one party, and he could also be called enterprising, so Yun Qing was willing to deal with him, if he was replaced by a fishy person or a mediocre and incompetent official, Yun Qingcai would not deal with him, such as the previous prefect of Hangzhou Mansion.

The previous prefect was not young, I don't know if he was mediocre in his ability, or he was smoothed out of his ambitions, he just wanted to mess around, he was the best at and mud, he didn't want to take ideas about anything, and no one was willing to offend.

Fortunately, last year he went to the book to beg for bones, and then Xu Zhifu came to take over, soon after he arrived, he issued Yunqing a plaque of "kindness and charity", in this nearly a year, the two sides observed and assessed each other, and confirmed that they could maintain friendly exchanges, Yunqing recognized Xu Zhifu, therefore, after the results of scientific farming could be seen, she was willing to give the credit to Xu Zhifu, otherwise, she would go to find Lin Ruhai.

At the beginning of spring ploughing, Fang Dayong followed the people arranged by Xu Zhifu to inspect and guide everywhere, most people are afraid of the government, what does the government want them to do, even if they don't want to, there are not many people who dare to do it, however, this time it is not mandatory, so some people are willing to listen, some people don't take it seriously, or according to their own old routine, Fang Dayong is the first time to run an errand for the government, his sense of responsibility and honor is bursting, and when he sees someone who doesn't listen, he wants to persuade him, but unfortunately he is the most stupid, and he can't say anything big at all. often takes a long time to speak, but it does not play a small role, but is pushed and ridiculed by others.

The errand officer arranged by the prefect of Xu was responsible for maintaining order and protecting Fang Dayong, and scolded the noisy people, seeing that Fang Dayong was still depressed, he persuaded him: "More than half of the people are still obedient, as long as you are right, do it according to your method, you can really increase the yield, and everyone can see it when the harvest comes, those who refuse to listen, only have red eyes and envy, and the loss is them, big brother, why are you angry?" We still have a lot of places to go, and we can't afford to worry about these careless ......."

Fang Dayong said sullenly: "They don't want to listen, the task assigned by the adults is not completed well, I am afraid of disappointing the adults." ”

Everyone laughed: "The adults understand us, and they know that there are Diao people who oppose everything no matter what, so I never thought of letting everyone obey the order once, but when they see the benefits, even if no one asks for it, they will do it themselves!" Brother Fang, you can rest assured! ”

Fang Dayong was borrowed by the prefect's yamen, only Fang Rui was left on Yunqing's side, and Song Zhuangtou's side already had experience, so he didn't have to worry about it, Fang Rui was mainly responsible for the trial planting of new crops, and brought the invited laborers to go to the newly bought land to get busy.

The people of the Fang family and the Wang family are so capable, each has the ability to settle down, Yunqing feels that they can already live independently, so he mentioned the matter of giving them citizenship again, this time they didn't have much panic, and they no longer refused, the two families now have a lot of knowledge, no longer think that they are useless, and they will inevitably have some ambitions, so after discussing with their respective families, they all agreed to Yunqing's proposal.

Yunqing then gave them a registration, and each family gave them ten acres of land, and the house that was built for them at the beginning also fell into their names, and the two families became good citizens with houses and land.

However, Yunqing used them to get used to it, and after consulting their opinions, he signed an employment agreement with them, what everyone did remained the same, but it became an employment system, in addition to higher wages and personal freedom, the others were the same as before, the two families were more happy, they were still timid, afraid that they would not be able to find a job after leaving Yunqing, there would be no source of income, and they were worried that they would have a difficult life in the future, but now this is excellent, and they finally have no worries.
