In the city of Anhui in June, the scorching sun hung high in the sky, and it was extremely hot.

In the county hall, the foot trainer held the mole and swayed it from side to side in front of Xiao Huo Yi. The baby lying on the small wooden bed was amused with great joy, his calves fluttered and kicked, and his little white hands were raised high to grasp the rattle.

The stepper smiled sweetly, teasing the baby between giving and not giving. It wasn't until he was about to make Xiao Huo Yi cry that the foot trainer gave the rattle to Xiao Huo Yi. And Xiao Huo Yi also showed a cute smile, which made people love it in their hearts.

"Madam, the head of the house is back!"

Da Qiao walked into the hall, his delicate face showed a little worry, and said, "Doesn't Madame go out to greet the head of the house?" ”

The foot trainer wrinkled his nose and said, "You guys go and greet you, saying that I am taking care of Ah Niu in the house, and it is inconvenient to move." ”

"This~"

Seeing that the step trainer was like this, Da Qiao bit Dan's lip slightly, and he could guess her thoughts, but he didn't say much because of his identity. After wandering for a while, seeing that the step trainer did not move, Da Qiao had to greet Huo Jun with his sister in front of the door.

Huo Jun greeted Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others in Jingkou for a few days, and then set off with Liu Bei, Liu Bei headed towards Xiakou, and Huo Jun returned to Anhui City.

Huo Jun and Liu Bei jointly formed the Jiangbei defense line, so there was also cooperation. When Huo Jun was in Jiangbei, Liu Bei could often leave Jingkou and go to Xiangyang, or go to Wu County. However, during Huo Jun's absence for half a year, Liu Bei sat in Jingkou and was difficult to leave, in addition to handling official affairs in Danyang County, he also had the purpose of preventing Cao's army from going south from Jianghuai.

Now Huo Jun came back from Yuzhou and actually liberated Liu Bei. Liu Bei explained some words to Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Mi Zhu, and then left Jingkou with Huo Jun, and rushed to Xiakou with his cronies.

After a while, when Huo Jun first entered the mansion from outside, he saw Li Qian on his head, followed by concubines and maidservants, and Yingying Yanyan greeted him in the inner hall.

Seeing the foot trainer, Huo Jun asked, "What about Madame?" ”

Li Qian's beautiful eyes were full of affection, and she said: "The son is noisy, and the lady is taking care of it in the hall." The head of the family has been away for a long time and is quite tired, so the concubine may take the head of the house to wash and bathe, or help the head of the house to pinch it. ”

Da Qiao glanced at Li Qian, but said: "During the absence of the head of the family, Madame is quite tired, it is better to go and see Madame first, or you can go to see the little son." ”

"Wait and get out of here!"

Huo Jun glanced at the expressions of several people, and said with a smile: "Let's go and see Madame first, Qian'er can prepare hot water, and I'll go wash up at that time, I haven't asked Qian'er to help me knead it for a long time." ”

"No!"

Everyone retreated one after another, and Li Qian also retreated contentedly.

Huo Jun walked to the hall and saw the step trainer with his back to the door, taking care of the child there. She crouched down and revealed her bumpy figure.

Huo Jun saw that he already knew it in his heart, coughed lightly, and said, "For her husband to be away from home for half a year, has Ah Niu ever behaved?" ”

The step trainer's face was flushed with joy, but he restrained himself, and said sullenly: "I thought that the husband didn't remember the concubine and Ah Niu?" ”

"Why?"

Huo Jun walked to the side of the step trainer with a smile, and as he spoke, he held the jade hand of the step trainer and said with a smile.

The step trainer looked at Huo Jun whitely, and said angrily: "After being away from home for half a year, if you don't have a concubine to send a letter to your husband first, can your husband still remember his wife and children at home?" ”

Huo Jun hugged the foot trainer in his arms and said, "Sailing to Yuzhou, I am afraid that my wife is worried and I dare not talk to my family more. ”

As he spoke, Huo Jun took out the wooden box from his arms, put it in the hand of the step trainer, and said with a smile: "Madam, take it apart and take a look." ”

The trainer opened the wooden box and saw a round and huge pearl placed in the box, which was crystal clear, warm and delicate in color, making it difficult for any woman to take her eyes off.

"Pearls?"

"Hmm!"

Huo Jun said with a smile: "This is the pearl of Huaishui, a tribute to the royal family." When he was Futun Yuzhou, his subordinates salvaged river mussels, and luckily obtained this pearl in the abdomen, which is a rare treasure in the world. Thinking of it, only the face of a lady can wear this pearl. ”

Pearls are divided into two kinds of pearls: freshwater pearls mostly come from the Huaihe River Basin, and saltwater pearls come from Jiaozhou. Due to the different production regions, freshwater pearls are called northern pearls, and saltwater pearls are called southern pearls.

In ancient times, compared with the southern pearl, the northern pearl was more precious. From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Beizhu has been an exclusive tribute to the princes and emperors of all dynasties. For example, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Jianghuai Yi people once offered pearls to Zhou Tianzi.

Look at the color goose yellow, bright and round, crystal dazzling pearls. The step trainer snorted lightly and said, "The husband has a concubine in mind, and the concubine does not care about letters and maidservants with the husband for the time being. ”

"Haha!"

Huo Jun hugged the slightly plump waist of the foot trainer after giving birth, and said tenderly: "Madame works at home, Jun doesn't know how to be in Yuzhou, and I have long been worried about it. Today, I will give a small gift to reward my wife for her hard work. ”

The foot trainer raised his delicate goose egg face, his beautiful eyes were full of affection, and his heart had been melted by Huo Jun's love words.

The little girl's emotions can be solved with a little care, a little gift, and some sweet words. Of course, if you don't want to work so hard to coax girls, you can easily solve many things with hundreds of millions of valuable gifts, and sweet words.

Huo Jun thought in his previous life that Guo Jing could catch up with Huang Rong, but he was a fool and a fool. But after a careful understanding, I learned that people were meeting to smash Ferraris, precious mink furs, and give away dozens or even millions of extra bills.

Of course, the situation of the foot trainer is different, she is already Huo Jun's wife, and she is an ancient girl, she is simple, and she is more coaxing. Even if you don't send something, you can coax it with a little thought.

Money ability is just a shortcut, a means that can reduce many difficulties for you. If you don't have the ability to make money, but you have other specialties, just like you have the appearance of Zhang Junlang, whether it is ancient or modern, it is very helpful, regardless of whether it is male or female.

The step trainer just felt that Huo Jun didn't have her in his heart, and he made a fuss, wanting to get more favor in front of Huo Jun. After Huo Jun expressed her love, she instead revealed her longing for the past six months, in essence, the step trainer was just a little girl.

Tired of being crooked for a while, Huo Jun went to the side hall to wash his hair and take a bath under Li Qian's service, massage the beauties, and serve them in one stop.

After showering and changing, it is approaching dusk. On the occasion of the night meal, the foot trainer arranged a good show for Huo Jun, Er Qiao played the piano and sang music, the maid danced, the warbler sang and danced, and there were beautiful women in his arms, tasting wine and meat, and Huo Dadu was so unhappy and happy.

Happiness is always short-lived, after dinner, the singers and dancers retreated, and Huo Jun met the county magistrate Shi Sima Zhi in the hall.

"Meet the Prince!" Sima Zhi arched his hand and said: "Zhi congratulates the prince of the palace on receiving 100,000 people, opening the sea road successfully, and returning to the county in victory." ”

Huo Jun was dressed in civilian clothes, pointed to the opposite seat, motioned for Sima Zhi to enter the bed, and said: "Zihua, Jun has not been in the county for half a year, and most of the government affairs are handled by you. How has the county changed in the past half a year? ”

"Xie Fujun!"

Sima Zhi knelt on the couch and said: "When the prince left the county last year, he asked Zhi to plant wheat and check the county's household registration. ”

"Previously, the wheat was sown in the autumn and planted in 30 acres of fields, and it was harvested in April this year. From the idea of sowing wheat in Suzhou, Zhi Shu thought that rice and wheat rotation cultivation could be carried out, but there were also things that could not be implemented, and the trivial details needed to be carefully considered. ”

"Please!"

Sima Zhi sorted out his thoughts and said: "In terms of sowing time, rice sowing is often in February, and it can also be postponed to the end of March or early April; However, in April and May, it is the time of the wheat harvest. In August and September, the rice harvest is abundant; It can be planted in September and October, and the harvest will be harvested the following year. ”

However, the key point is that when the rice is planted and the wheat is harvested, some rice crops need to be planted early, and some rice crops can be planted later. If you want to multi-plant rice and wheat in the same acre, you need to plant late rice, and then plant locomer wheat. However, even so, if you want to rotate crops with the same acre, you often need to drain water in order to plant wheat. ”

Sima Zhi worked in agriculture, and after the harvest of wheat planting, he found the difficulty of rice and wheat replanting. That is, if you want to plant rice and wheat on the same acre, you need to plant late rice, but not early wheat, otherwise it will conflict with winter wheat. However, late rice did not appear as a single variety in the Three Kingdoms, and it was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the people had a distinction between late rice and early rice.

And after the rice harvest, the water in the paddy fields needs to be drained before winter wheat can be planted. After all, rice is grown in paddy fields, and winter wheat is grown in dry land, so the living conditions are different, and they need to be suitable for the place.

"What is Zihua's different opinion?"

Sima Zhi pondered for a while and said: "Qiqi Fujun, the land south of the Yangtze River is vast and sparsely populated, and the paddy fields are often planted, but there are few cultivators in the dry land, and it is difficult to distinguish late rice. Rice crops are planted normally in paddy fields, and in summer and autumn, rice crops are harvested; Then the people were allowed to plant wheat on dry land in September and October. ”

"Next year, you can plant rice in March and harvest wheat in April. That is, wheat is harvested in April, and rice is harvested in July and August; Plant rice in February and March, and plant wheat in September and October, and you can harvest twice a year. ”

This is Sima Zhi's suggestion after operation, according to the actual situation, through off-site planting, to complete the alternative rice and wheat replanting. After all, when the current Jiangzuo was not like the Southern Song Dynasty, there was not much contradiction between man and land, and the amount of harvest did not depend on the land, but on manpower.

Huo Jun took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about choosing late rice? ”

"Since the beginning of the world, the southerners have rarely distinguished between early and late rice grains, and often cultivated together. At the time of the harvest, the early rice is harvested, and the late rice is ripe and then taken. Today, it can be divided into the same rice crop, take the late rice as the seed, sow it in April and May next year, harvest it in the autumn, and replant it in the following year. After two years of reciprocation, you can get the seeds of late rice. ”

The ripening time of late rice is different from that of early rice, which takes three to four months to mature, and late rice takes five months to mature. Therefore, the people of the Han Dynasty often had different harvests, once in the summer and once at the turn of summer and autumn. Late-ripening rice is generally late rice, which is also one of the methods used by the ancestors to screen late rice.

After a pause, Huo Jun said: "In the autumn of this year, for the time being, according to Zihua's method, rice and wheat can be rotated in different places. If the late rice is grown, the 30 acres can be tried to rotate rice and wheat in the same place to see how the yield is effective. ”

The main core of the rotation of rice and wheat in the same land lies in the contradiction between man and land, more people and less land, and the need for in-depth use of land. Therefore, Huo Jun is not too much to pursue, and at present, he can promote the rice and wheat rotation system in Poyang County, which can increase the crop yield a lot. After all, the increase in the yield per acre actually increases the tax.

This year, the rice and wheat rotation system has been promoted in Poyang County, and if the results are remarkable, the people's yield per mu has increased considerably. And next year, Huo Jun can propose to the state to promote this law, so that all counties in Jiangdong will adopt the rice and wheat rotation system in different places, so as to further flatten the gap with the north.

"No!" Sima Zhi gave up.
