In the spring sunshine, the seeds sown are always given high hopes.

The first to notice that something was wrong was Cao Defa, his family's seeds had been buried for more than half a month, but there was no sign of germination when he went to see it today.

Throw the soil away, and inside are rotten seeds, all of which are rotten!

There are not a few people who come to him today to report this matter, and some people think that they have not planted well.

This is unusual for a farmer with many years of experience.

Daddy Wang looked at his breeding land, and there were pleasing buds growing on it, fat and strong, and it was easy to feed when he looked at it.

Wang Yongan took out his own bamboo sieve, and carefully cocked the young shoots with a piece of wood, and these young shoots had to be transplanted into the turned ground.

Each seedling is carefully and neatly stacked in a bamboo sieve.

In this way, these buds can slowly grow well and strong.

"Uncle Wang, what are you going to plant?"

The people who turned the ground in the field next door came to take a look, and they looked at the green buds very happily.

"Uncle, your seedlings are growing too well, I don't know why they didn't grow. Uncle Wang, you don't have a lot of seedlings at home, so if you can't finish planting, leave two for me. ”

A seedling is a pit, and when raising seedlings, more seeds will always be sprinkled, and what is missing will be filled.

Daddy Wang is cheerful, and when his family finishes planting today, let people take the rest by themselves.

When Daddy Wang came home, I heard that everyone's seeds had not germinated.

The villagers put the moldy seeds in a bowl, and every house is the same.

Cao De was so worried that his hair turned white, and he was even more anxious than the people in the village.

"Who's drumming?"

When the guard of the yamen saw someone beating a drum, he stepped forward with a knife at his waist and asked.

"I want to see my lord, I have something important to say."

Cao Defa stood at the gate of the government with the villagers, and he knew that it was a drum of grievances.

When the officials saw so many people, they had to go and report it, which seemed to be a big deal.

"My lord, there are many villagers outside, and they say they have something important to say."

The officials sent by Mengtang Town have not yet arrived, and now they are concurrently served by the county magistrate of Tongluo Town, whose surname is Guo, and he is old, and he will retire in a few years.

Guo Pei'an asked the villagers to be called in, sat on the chair handling the case, and looked at the official documents submitted from everywhere.

"What do you have to say?"

"Your Excellency, you see, this is the seed we planted this year, and all of them are bad."

Cao Defa handed over the seeds collected by each family.

Guo Pei'an looked at the moldy seeds in the bowl, all of them were moldy and rotten, and none of them showed signs of germination.

"My lord, these are all seeds issued to us by the county, we are all croppers who have been farming for many years, and we have never seen this situation, there is something wrong with these seeds."

Guo Pei'an was worried, and asked the master next to him when these seeds were sent and where they came from.

Master Fan has not dared to be a demon since the previous master was killed, and answered honestly.

"These seeds are all received by the superiors, and they are sent by Dasi Nong to the county warehouse officials, and we all receive them back and distribute them to the people below according to the household registration person, and the warehouse officials still have a collection book to check."

Guo Pei'an nodded, feeling that there was no mistake in the procedure.

"But that's just the seed in your village?"

"Go back to my lord, we don't know about other places, it's just that there is a problem with the seeds that our village brought back."

Father Wang stood at the back of the crowd, their family did not plant the seeds distributed by the county this year, they planted the seeds given by Fubao.

Now their family is incompatible with everyone, and there are still people who have seen the good seedlings of his family today.

"It should be that the batch of seeds sent to you is broken, go to the warehouse official to register and get a new copy."

The people in the village are dissatisfied, this is not in vain to delay the golden period of seedlings, now it is too late to plant, and the harvest will be greatly reduced.

"My lord! Another group of villagers is here! ”

What's going on today? Guo Pei'an called in the representatives of the villagers.

"My lord, you see, this is a seed planted in our village, and it is a bad seed!"

The exact same bowl appeared on the desk, this is not a coincidence, could it be that the county received all bad seeds.

This is a major matter related to the people's livelihood, if it is a small village, the loss will be small, a county is a big accident, if it is not handled well, maybe you will be dismissed.

Guo Pei'an called the warehouse officials in charge, and they should still have some kind of records to keep a record.

The warehouse official who received the message poked a hole in the grain bag of the sample and used a sampler to take a bowl of seeds from the middle of the grain bag.

Although the seeds are a little shriveled, they are like this every year, and I haven't said which year they have not germinated.

"My lord, this is a sample of food."

Guo Pei'an grabbed the seeds in the bowl in his hand and looked at them, but he didn't see anything different.

He had never planted a crop, so he couldn't tell the good from the bad, so he had to give the seed bowl to the villagers, and their seeds were the same as the ones in this bowl.

Cao Defa took the sample seeds, which did not look bad, they were exactly the same as the ones they had brought home.

The villagers all took a small handful in their hands and looked at it, but they couldn't see any major problems.

Father Wang looked at the seeds in his hand, the weight of these seeds seemed to be much lighter, especially the vegetable seeds, which were a little darker in color.

When I bite my teeth, I always feel that the seeds are weird, dry powder.

"Lord Guo, what kind of official business is this!"

Guo Pei'an saw the man and saluted.

"Lord Qi, the lower officials are dealing with the seeds, and the villagers all say that there is a problem with the seeds sent this year, this is a sample grain, and they are all batches of seeds."

Qi Peijue observed the rotten seeds in the bowl, and then looked at the seeds of the sample.

"Si Yun, give me your secret knife."

Whether it is a bad species can not be seen by looking at the surface, and it is necessary to cut open the bud embryo.

If the core is bad, you can't grow good seedlings.

As soon as the blade passed, the seed was cut open, and the cross-section was so clear that the germ could be seen clearly.

Qi Peijue took the seed to the villagers and asked experienced people to see if there was a problem with the seed.

"Yikes! This seed is ripe! How to sprout! ”

An exclamation from the crowd! One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

What seeds are ripe! How can it be?

This kind of ripe seed does not mean that it is a mature seed, but it has been fried by someone with a heart, and the buds inside the seed have been fried to death, although it cannot be seen from the outside, it will not germinate.

Even Qi Peiyu was a little surprised, and her good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly.

Guo Pei'an couldn't believe it, how could it be a ripe seed.

"Look closely! The stakes are high. ”

A few experienced villagers went back and forth to study the seeds, and cut a number of more seeds.

They were sure and sure that the seeds that were given to them were ripe, or half-ripe, and could not germinate at all, and that they only rotted when they were planted in the ground.

Si Yun whispered a few words in Guo Pei'an's ear, and his master wanted to talk alone.

But the villagers did not let Master Guo leave, and today they must be given an explanation, and if they are given ripe seeds, isn't this going to starve them to death?

"This official will thoroughly investigate this matter, and I will definitely give you an explanation tomorrow."

The villagers were panicked, explaining that they didn't know what it was, that they couldn't grow food, and that there were still a few months before they could grow vegetables, and they didn't grow hungry food.

Isn't this about starving everyone?

"Everyone is tight-lipped about today's events, don't cause unnecessary panic, the felony that stirs people's hearts is a crime of murder."

Guo Pei had a bad premonition, he was too afraid that this would be the case in the whole county, not to mention him, even the officials of the state capital would have to be cut.
