147. The auspicious yield of 1,000 catties per mu
Aunt Zhao, who had nothing to do, strolled to the square of Middle Street.
By the time she arrived, hundreds of people had gathered. People who have nothing to do in the city gather here to watch the excitement.
Babbling and singing on stage.
"Isn't the field of this family farm a cornucopia?"
"Where did the cornucopia come from, it was the blue sky from Qingcheng Town, and he took the immortal seed and gave it to mortal dustΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Ah, one acre of land is eight hundred catties, and Qingcheng Baodi is auspicious~"
Aunt Zhao only saw a black and oppressive human head, even the walls were full of people, and there were people hanging on the trees.
You can't see what's going on on stage at all.
But the voice is quite clear, and I don't know how the voice of a person can be so loud and travel so far.
She relied on her strength, found a space to squeeze forward, and in a pair of white eyes, she squeezed until she was at the front before she saw the performance on stage.
There are also tall sorghum-like things on the stage, and the play at the front is on that high platform, holding a yellow thing high and chanting.
"I heard yesterday that the land over there in Renjiazhuang was just harvested a few days ago, and there were more than 800 catties of grain per acre! It's all sung in this play, it seems to be true! β
"How is that possible? What kind of land can grow 800 catties of grain? Is it made of gold, or is it made of silver? β
A man in a green shirt saw someone questioning and said: "Don't believe it, I really went to Renjiazhuang a few days ago, it was a grain called 'corn', and I also spent two pennies to buy one, roasted and eaten sweet and delicious!"
I heard that it can also be made into tortillas and polenta.
It's a filling staple!
And the highest yield is not only 800 catties, and even an acre of corn in some fields weighs thousands of catties after being weighed. β
Some people have become a fan of Ren Pingsheng, and they fully support it: "This Ren Jiazhuang is the property of the mayor, and the mayor also took out the grain seeds."
A figure like the mayor of the town can come up with a thousand catties of grain per mu, what's wrong? β
In the interval between the singing and drama transitions on stage, the following has been discussed.
Many people can't believe the content in the play.
Since ancient times, who has ever heard of a thousand catties of grain per mu?
"After listening to the play for a while, if you are interested in 'corn', you can stay for a while. We boiled corn for two cents a piece, and everyone could buy it voluntarily.
Sweet and tasty, absolutely delicious. β
While the audience was still discussing, someone came up to the stage to speak, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
When the performance of the Concerted Heart Club ended, a large cauldron came up, and the sweet taste of corn came out of it, which got into people's noses.
Two pennies and a corn in the hand, gnaw down a bite, chew in the mouth, sweet and glutinous, after eating the stomach has a strong sense of satiety.
"It's really a new staple food!"
"It lives up to the name 'corn', and it tastes better than rice."
"Xiangrui!"
After eating the corn, most people really believed the content of the play.
I was very excited.
Excitement is contagious, but in a moment, the whole square is crazy!
They cheered, as if they saw the day when they would never have to go hungry again.
Thousands of catties of grain per mu sounds like a myth in this era when the vast majority of people can't eat enough and starve all over the wilderness.
And when such a myth became a reality, the name of auspiciousness, with a little guidance, from this night, also like a depth charge, exploded on the calm water, and spread in a very short time.
Suddenly, the name of the Qingtian Lord in Qingcheng Town was admired to the extreme. Ren Pingsheng's prestige, at least in Qingshui County, has far surpassed that of the county commander Huang Youcai.
In the next few days, Ren Nuan, head of the Propaganda Section, took the Qixin Society, and Hu Chun, head of the Agricultural Section, took a cart of corn and traveled all over the large and small villages of Qingcheng Town to build public opinion.
It paved the way for the reform plan promoted by Ren Pingsheng.
In Qingshui County, there are also sketches and scripts adapted by the Qixin Society, which are performed in teahouses, green buildings, tile houses, and market towns.
Countless people have set their sights on the new crop "corn".
At the beginning of August, the sun is at its craziest, swaying the boundless heat on the earth, scorching the earth!
The walls of Renjiazhuang have already been piled up taller, and red bricks have been used to wrap the adobe inside, and it really looks like a sturdy small city.
On this day, there were many people standing at the gate of the city.
Several section chiefs such as Liu Shu, Liu Wen, and Liu Liu, who were in high positions in Qingcheng Town, were all standing here, as if waiting for someone.
After a short time, a carriage came to the gate of the city, and out of it came a lame old man.
The sixth man hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old man down.
"Village Chief, be careful."
Seeing that the old village chief's legs were a little weak, the sixth child hurriedly reminded him.
"I'm fine, this leg is also an old problem. When I saw you, my heart was overjoyed. β
The old village chief looked at Liu Shu and Lao Liu, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped, and his happiness was all on his face.
"I knew that I didn't see the wrong person at the beginning, Mr. Ren is a capable person! You are following him now, and you are also a promising person, and you must listen to Mr. Ren in the future. β
The old village chief was carried by the sixth child to Renjiazhuang, asked a few people to come to his side, and whispered: "Mr. Ren has just started a family, and he is surrounded by people from our Liujia Village, but you have to pay attention to some influences, and you can't do anything bad and ask people to chew their tongues from behind."
If Mr. Ren is allowed to hate the people of our Liujia Village, even if there is an incense relationship between us and him, this power struggle is all vicious!
Sixth, you are the section chief of the integrity section, and you shouldn't have come today. β
He has lived most of his life, and he has seen through some things. The Fu gang leader of the Wolf Gang is his old buddy, and every time he goes to Liujia Village to find him, the two will talk about the relationship between Ren Pingsheng and Liujia Village.
At this time, when he saw Liu Qiang and the others, he was extremely happy in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but entrust the words he had been thinking about for a long time to these juniors, so that even if they were in a high position and had power in their hands, they should not be fluttering.
"We'll remember."
The sixth child listened to the advice of the village chief, and immediately felt that he really shouldn't come here.
Although it is now a small green town, it is all under the nose of the owner, and no one dares to have any crooked thoughts.
But after all, he is the head of the integrity section, and he should be a lonely minister. Even the officials of the Anti-Corruption Section, the proprietor has reminded that all those who enter the Anti-Corruption Section must be prepared not to be transferred within 5 years.
This in itself is a policy to maintain the integrity and independence of the Integrity Section.
"Hmm."
The old village chief nodded when he saw that they were all listening.
Not long after entering Renjiazhuang, the old village chief looked at the village chiefs and elders of the villages in Qingcheng Town who were invited over, and some familiar ones, such as the village chief of Xiaowang Village, came to him together.
Soon, everyone arrived at the destination of their trip and saw the golden corn.
In the frame woven by bamboo strips, the golden mallets and grains of grain are as attractive as gold!
"Old village chief, look at it, this is the 'corn' that the town mayor is vigorously promoting now, as long as you take care of it properly and keep up with the fertilization, it is no problem to make 800 catties of grain per acre."
Hu Chun, the head of the agricultural section, looked at the old village chief who was personally accompanied by Liu Liu, Liu Shu, and Liu Wen, and did not dare to slack off and introduce the somewhat lame village chief who was walking in the front.
"Good stuff!"
The old village chief picked up a corn cob mallet and stroked the grains on it with his rough and dark fingers.
The grains are quite a bit larger than rice.
Just rubbing these grains, his heart is particularly intimate.
"In addition to these, the mayor also brought potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops, these things are also high-yield crops, and do not pick the land, even in some fields, even in the mountains, can also achieve high yields, but these things consume a lot of soil resources, have to be fallow in rotation, can not be planted every year."
In addition to corn, Hu Chun also took out potatoes, sweet potatoes, and high-yield rice crops to introduce to the village elders present.
At noon, roasted sweet potatoes, stewed sweet potatoes, boiled corn, polenta, fried corn kernels, corn flour tortillas, mashed potatoes, fried shredded potatoes, stewed potatoes, fried potatoes, etc. were served.
The round tables were full of meals made of these crops, so that the village elders, including Village Chief Liu, not only tasted the sweetness, delicacy and deliciousness of these grains, but also felt the satiety of these grains!
"It's so auspicious!"
A group of village elders said with emotion as if they had obtained a treasure.
They have been working with the land all their lives, and when they see so many new food crops at one time, they really feel that these are the foods that can keep them and their descendants alive!
I am sure that these are the auspicious things that come down from heaven.
And the mayor of Ren is a messenger who sends auspiciousness down from heaven!
