Chapter 254: Rice Harvest
Gu Chenggang kept holding the box, which was a feeling of being regarded as a treasure.
He thought of something and asked Gu Yunjie: "How did you know that this box has a switch?" If you look at it this way, you can't see it. ”
"I didn't find out. It was Chu Chu who found out, he held the box and looked at it a few times that day, and told me that the box had a mechanism. I tried it and found out it was. The letter was indeed left by my mother back then, not by me temporarily. ”
Or Shen Chunyu thought far, perhaps, she had already thought of what would happen decades later, so she prepared the letter in advance.
Maybe she can't be relieved.
Whatever the reason, the letter was indeed left by Shen Chunyu.
As for the Liu family's small actions on the box, she discovered it in advance, so she washed it off.
Gu Chenggang burst into tears: "It's me who I'm sorry for you and your mother, and I don't even know if I lost the box." Fortunately, the box has come back now, otherwise I wouldn't know how to face your mother a hundred years later. ”
"Dad, you don't want too much. There are some things that my mother must have thought about before you. As for my background, sooner or later the truth will be revealed. "The box has appeared, and the jade pendant has also been taken out by Liu Qingshan.
If her background is really that important, someone will naturally pay attention to something when they see it.
If her background is not so important, she is just someone from a small family, and sooner or later it will be clear.
At present, she only wants to expand her power, and she doesn't want to face a strong opponent one day, and there is no way at all.
However, it is inconvenient for her to talk to Gu Chenggang about these things.
Gu Chenggang hugged for a while, and then asked Gu Yunjie to put away the box, only to remember that Chu Chu and Lingbao didn't come back: "Why did you come back alone?" Xiao Chu and Lingbao. ”
"There were so many things in the shop that he couldn't leave. It's not going to be a bumper harvest at home, Lingbao can't help at home, and we don't have time to look at her, so we let Xiao Chu take her to Fucheng. After the harvest, it would be good for our family to go to Fucheng to live for a while. ”
First, I am not sure if the flesh Ganoderma lucidum on the top of the head will become bigger after the Lingbao returns. Second, as she said, Lingbao is too small to help during the harvest, and she has to find time to see her. After thinking about it, let Chu Chu stay in Fucheng with the spirit treasure.
"It's good for you to develop in Fucheng, what did my father and I do in the past, and make trouble for you." When Gu Lanshi heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand.
Fucheng sounds good, but it doesn't belong to her.
I've never been to any big places in my life, and I spend most of my time in this small mountain village. Let her get out of the mountains, out of here, she will not be comfortable.
Xiao Jie and Xiao Chu are doing business to make money or something, she doesn't understand and doesn't want to care. If she is allowed to leave here, she will be somewhat reluctant.
I don't want to slow down young people to make money.
"Yes, it's good for me and your grandmother to stay in the village, there's no need to go to Fucheng. If only you had time to come back and see us. ”
"Let's harvest the rice first. I came back this time mainly to help my family harvest the rice. Gu Yunjie didn't talk about this topic anymore, and her heart was still thinking about rice.
"If you don't come back, your father and I will have to do it first. The rice is growing so well that the villagers who pass by every day are envious. There are some people in the village who can't look down on others, and they are afraid of accidents after a long time. "Most of the people in the village are still very good, they don't know their hearts, and they are afraid that some people will have some dirty thoughts.
"I'm coming back in a hurry, let's start tomorrow." Gu Yunjie also wanted to take the rice home as soon as possible and witness the yield per mu.
"I'm going to ask Qinghua and Shuimei now, and ask them if they have time tomorrow. A few more people, and we can get it quickly. If they don't have time, we'll take it ourselves. Gu Lanshi turned around to go out.
After a while, she came back with a smile on her face: "Both families have time, help with them, our family's five acres of land can be completed in two days." ”
"If there are no vegetables at home, if not, I will get up early tomorrow to buy them."
"I brought it back." Gu Yunjie took out a basket from the carriage: "When I came back, I went to the store, and the shopkeeper Hu prepared it." ”
What are you going to do tomorrow, naturally you have to rest early.
When Xiao Jie returned to the room, Gu Chenggang instructed her: "Xiao Jie, you must put away that box, it is a matter of whether you can find your biological parents." ”
"The key is not in this box." Gu Yunjie smiled: "But don't worry, I will definitely take good care of it." ”
Gu Chenggang nodded.
Before the sky was a ray of light, Gu Lan's family got up.
There are so many people who have to prepare their meals at noon today, and it is not good if you don't have breakfast.
"Xiaojie, why don't I go to the field, you can help prepare the meal at home." Gu Lanshi asked after Xiao Jie got up.
My granddaughter hasn't been to the field much since she was a child, and now she is probably not used to working in the field.
"Okay." Let her go to the field, it is indeed a little worried. The milk gave her this step, and she had to go down.
But in the morning you have to go to the field to take a look.
took some tools to the field, Zhang Shuimei and Ning Qinghua both came.
It's all a family.
The two families add up to eight people, plus a few people from their own family, and the posture comes out.
"Not only does this rice grow well, but the millet also grows fruitful, which is pleasing to look at." Zhang Shuimei looked at this rice and didn't know how much she liked it.
It's a pity that when Xiaojie sowed, their family hadn't made friends with Xiaojie, so they didn't plant such rice.
Ning Qinghua's family planted some, and the growth was also gratifying, and the yield was higher than that of others.
"Not really. Xiaojie still has a vision, and if she is an ordinary person, how dare she start a new seed casually. Ning Qinghua looked at the rice in front of her like her own child.
Xiaojie's family planted a lot, planting five acres.
Their family planted one acre.
Cool in the morning, not so hot. Everyone hurried to get to work.
The women were busy cutting the rice, and the men were in charge of the threshing.
One morning, an acre of paddy field was beaten, and the three men each picked it three times.
"Cheng Gang, this output is incredible." Gu Tiezhu looked at this yield, and was envious: "After drying, how can there be more than six hundred." ”
They carry it heavily, and they get a hundred pounds of wet millet for a load of grain.
After drying, maybe six or seven hundred.
It's a great harvest.
The kind of seeds they planted yielded two or three hundred catties per mu.
Because of the high output, everyone is in full swing.
Xiao Jie was busy in the field for a while and then went home to cook.
She was quick with her hands and feet, and Gu Lan's had already made a good meal, and within an hour, the meal was ready.
Put a bucket of water from the well and bring it to the field: "Let's go home and eat first." ”
When I got home, I found that Xiaojie's food was not comparable to ordinary people. Chickens, ducks and fish are all available, and Xiaojie's craftsmanship is not to mention.
"Xiaojie, eating your food, it feels like you're in a restaurant."
"Xiaojie is the one who runs a restaurant, and these dishes are not trivial."
"You eat more vegetables, it's hot, and then fry other dishes at noon."
"I'm not afraid of this meat dish, it's okay to eat it for a few more days." In this era when there are no refrigerators, there is no concept of overnight dishes in the concept.
It's all about the taste.
Before eating, smell or taste bad in your mouth, and then you are willing to pour it out.
Otherwise, they are reluctant to throw away the leftovers.
Watching Xiao Jie's family pick up a load of millet at home, many villagers came to inquire about the yield.
"What, an acre of wet millet can have about ten loads, is it pretending to be dissatisfied, empty?"
Some villagers don't believe it, it's all rice, why is their yield so high, more than doubled.
"I don't believe it, I went to the barn to have a look, and the piles were all their grain."
The news of Xiaojie's family's high rice yield spread far and wide.
Everyone came over one after another and asked Gu Chenggang to leave some seeds for them, and they would also plant this variety of rice next season. ”
Gu Chenggang smiled: "We will keep some rice seeds, but I don't know if the yield of the seeds can be compared with our first crop." You have a number in your own hearts. "Gu Chenggang is calm, it's okay for you to let me keep the seeds, but if the yield is not as high as now, you can't come to me.
In such a thing as planting rice, of course, the yield depends on each person's ability, and it also depends on God's eyes.
If there is no catastrophe, a good harvest will not be a problem.
If we really want to encounter a disaster year, it is not uncommon for the grain to be harvested.
At the end of the day, three acres of paddy fields were harvested.
But the barn was full of Gu Chenggang's grain.
In the afternoon, the millet was piled into a pile, and then changed with oiled paper, and Gu Chenggang kept vigil on the side.
So much grain, of course, you have to keep it.
What if someone steals it at night.
He didn't go out much for a day because of the box. One is that I don't want to see the eyes of those people in the village, and I don't want to mention it.
Just because she didn't go out doesn't mean the rest of the family doesn't go out.
Regarding the fact that Gu Chenggang's family harvested rice today and the yield was not low, the family mentioned it at dinner.
Gu Chenggang's family has a high output, and the He family is naturally unconvinced: "What's the spirit, sooner or later, the old lady will let them understand what it means not to be happy too early." ”
She suffered a loss last night, and she will be enemies with Gu Chenggang's family in the future.
The two daughters-in-law listened to her words and couldn't help but glance at each other: "Mother, what do you say?" ”
He snorted coldly, and looked at Zhu's eyes: "You go and talk to Ziyu and ask her to find a way to let Master Kang know about this." This is a high-yield rice, and Master Kang knows what will happen in the future, so he will definitely have to leave. ”
Liu Jiaqi listened to He's words, and couldn't help but praise: "Mother, you are so high." We won't take action in this matter, and let the government take action directly. The government came to ask for seeds, but he didn't give them to his family. No matter how good the harvest is this year, the Gu family can't keep them. ”
If you really want to produce six or seven hundred catties per mu, the people from the government will naturally come.
With the character of Lord Kang, he will definitely report to the imperial court as soon as possible, and then dedicate the grain to the imperial court so that more people can plant it.
If this thing is done, it will be a great achievement, and it is possible to go up several levels.
"You go early tomorrow morning, if this thing is done, our family will be a great hero. In the future, when the Kang people are developed, they will definitely not forget us. Liu Jiali also thought of this layer and urged the Zhu family to go early in the morning.
Zhu should be down.
Early in the morning, Zhu really let his man ride her in an ox cart. When I arrived at the county seat, I went straight to Chen's house.
Because Ziyu is pregnant, Zhu, who is a member of her mother's family, can enter the house to visit her daughter at any time.
Seeing that her daughter's face was ruddy and her belly was bigger again, she knew that Ziyu had been doing well recently, and she was very satisfied.
"Mother, why are you here?" Liu Ziyu held his waist and looked at Zhu with a smile.
"Grab two chickens and go back to the kitchen to cook them for you." Zhu held his daughter's hand.
It seems that it was right to let Ziyu marry into the Chen Mansion at that time.
If Ziyu didn't marry into the Chen Mansion, how could there be a life of fine clothes and jade food now.
"Are you saying that the rice planted by Gu Yunjie's family has a very high yield, with a yield of five or six hundred catties per mu?
"I guess it's more than that." Zhu's yesterday last year, dozens of tons of wet millet, after drying, there must be more than 600.
Zhu whispered to Liu Ziyu about the family's plan.
Liu Ziyu's eyes were full of light when he heard this, this was an opportunity to directly bring down Gu Yunjie.
"Okay, I'll do it."
"You must let Master Kang know about this as soon as possible. If Lord Kang knew, he would definitely send someone to understand the situation, as long as the news is true, the credit of our family will come. ”
The mother and daughter talked for a while, Liu Ziyu wanted to leave Zhu to eat in the house, but Zhu refused: "Your father is waiting for me outside, I am relieved to know that you are doing well." Take care of it and come back to see you when I have time. ”
After Zhu left, Liu Ziyu asked people to inquire if Mrs. Chen was not at home.
"Madame is not at home, and the young lady Lei Gong is incense on the mountain."
When Liu Ziyu heard this, she secretly thought that she couldn't go past her mother-in-law in this matter, and if she crossed her mother-in-law, she would definitely be unhappy.
After thinking about it, it would definitely be more appropriate to wait for my mother-in-law to come back before mentioning this matter to my mother-in-law, and let my mother-in-law mention this matter to Lord Kang.
……
The rice yield is high, and the whole village has noticed.
Gu Chenggang reminded Xiao Jie: "If this matter is stabbed by others to the government first, I am afraid that all our grain will be confiscated, you still have to think of a way." ”
The increase in rice production is a major event related to the fortunes of the country, and if the government knows about it, it will not be indifferent.
Maybe they will all be pulled away and reported to the imperial court.
Gu Yunjie already had an idea in her heart: "I know what to do." ”
If only Master Kang knew about this matter, he would definitely take the credit. She'll have to figure out how to leave some food.
She has no problem sharing the new variety. The higher the grain production, the fewer people starve to death every year.
If she could, she wished that all the people could grow this high-yield food.
"If only you had a good idea." Gu Chenggang knew that Xiao Jie was a person with ideas, and after saying this, he went to busy with him.
Gu Yunjie sat at the square table, thinking about whether to report the grain directly to the imperial court or through the government.
Grain production is now unstable, and there are only two consequences when it is reported, either it is true or it is a bully.
As long as more people can be fed, it doesn't matter if she takes some risks.
Early in the morning, Gu Yunjie packed a few bags of millet that had not been dried much and put them on the carriage, and she wanted to go into the city to talk to Master Kang about the increase in rice production.
As for how Kang people will react, they can only improvise.
She drove the carriage to the county office, and Kang Shunzhou had not yet gone to the office. The official saw her carriage and stopped her.
"I have something important to say to Master Kang, and I would like to ask a few big brothers to make it easier." Xiao Jie took out a piece of broken silver from her purse and asked the officials guarding the door to buy wine and drink it for a while.
Seeing that she was so sensible, the official did not embarrass her, and quickly reported the matter for her.
Kang Shunzhou had a headache recently, and when he heard that Gu Yunjie had something to ask to see him, he waved his hand: "Let her come in, hear what's going on?" ”
For Gu Yunjie, he didn't have a good impression. As long as you deal with her, it will be fine.
Seeing Gu Yunjie coming in with a bag of grain, Kang Shunzhou frowned: "Gu Yunjie, what the hell are you doing, what is that?" ”
Carrying a sack in the morning.
The sack didn't look light, she easily carried it in, is she still a woman?
Gu Yunjie put down the sack and saluted Kang Shunzhou: "Master Kang, what's wrong?" Didn't sleep well last night? ”
Kang Shunzhou didn't answer, he couldn't say that the aunt in the courtyard was in a panic last night, he really didn't sleep well.
"What's in your sack? It can't be a person. ”
"Where did Lord Kang think about me?" Gu Yunjie opened the sack: "Don't hide it from Lord Kang, this is a great event." My family's rice yield is high today, which is not the first time to send good news to Kang Daren. ”
Kang Shunzhou sneered: "High yield? Tell me to the official, how much is your rice yield per mu? ”
In terms of the environment and weather in Wu County, the yield per mu has never exceeded 300.
"I just called back yesterday, and I don't know the actual number. However, you can get to the bottom with adults, and the wet millet is about 1,000 catties. ”
Kang Shunzhou didn't believe it: "You just brag, there can't be seven or eight hundred catties in the sun, how is it possible, and it's not a fairy seed, you can plant so much." ”
Although he doesn't know about farming, the county has to collect land taxes every year, and he must know what the actual harvest will be.
"Kang doesn't believe it, you can actually go and see it. However, I can't guarantee whether the yield in the back will be so high, so I want to hear the opinion of Kang Daren on what to do with these rice. The implication is obvious, these rice are the yield she planted unintentionally, and as for whether there is such a yield in the later stage, she has no bottom in her heart.
As for whether to report it, it depends on Lord Kang's own meaning.
"Lord Kang can send someone to check first, but I have a small request." Gu Yunjie smiled faintly: "These rice are all grown by me, if Lord Kang wants to take them, he has to buy them at the price of seeds." Within three days, people in the whole county will know about the high yield of rice in my family, and they will definitely come to the door to ask for seeds. Kang Daren must move quickly, otherwise I am afraid that it will not be enough to sell. ”
"Are you sure you're not lying to me." Kang Shunzhou didn't believe Gu Yunjie's words so much: "It's just that there is nothing to do today, so I'll go over with you to take a look." Ugly words are ahead, if you lie to me, this official will not spare you. ”
Gu Yunjie took Kang Shunzhou out of the county office, and happened to meet Mrs. Chen at the door.
"Big brother, where are you going?" The moment Mrs. Chen saw Gu Yunjie appear, she had a bad premonition.
"She said that their rice yield is high this year, so let me go and see it." Kang Shunzhou pointed at Gu Yunjie: "I'll go see if what she said is true or false." ”
Mrs. Chen frowned when she heard this.
