Three days later, the yellow planks were already covered with flying aphids, and the aphids on the ears of wheat began to die in large numbers, which meant that the last hurdle to threaten the wheat yield was about to pass, and the winter wheat harvest was almost a foregone conclusion!

In late April, the golden wheat waves spread all over the perimeter of Kaifeng City, and the breeze blew and the wheat waves rolled, like a rough ocean. The ears of wheat sparkle in the sunlight and are dizzying. Even in Kaifeng City, you can smell the faint fragrance of ripe wheat.

Months of hard work in exchange for a bumper summer grain harvest, which Zhao Yingluo is most happy to see, but what she is more willing to see is the smiling faces of the farmers, which means.

In order to prove the yield per mu, Zhao Yingluo deliberately selected two wheat fields with obvious contrasts, and this time she still invited two old men and the gentry in Kaifeng City to come to witness.

The wheat field she chose happened to be adjacent to Liang Da, a large grain grower in Kaifeng City.

Liang Da is a large grain grower around Kaifeng, and there are about one million acres of fields in Kaifeng City.

When the Jin people captured Kaifeng, most of his grain had already been sold, and the transfer of goods was timely, so the loss was not large.

Liang Da also coveted those abandoned lands, but after all, he was not as well-informed as Zhao Yingluo, and it was too late for him to raise silver and prepare for a large-scale merger.

Therefore, he was angry with Zhao Yingluo and wanted to hack her. But everyone in Kaifeng City knows her identity, how dare she touch her in the slightest?

However, he doesn't think that Zhao Yingluo can really achieve six stones of wheat per acre of land, as people say.

Therefore, when Zhao Yingluo collected plant ashes and inserted boards in the field, she sneered, saying that she was a chicken Si Chen, bewitching the public, demagoguery, etc......

The strange thing is that many people in Kaifeng City actually believed him, and some people even added fuel and vinegar, saying that she relied on climbing Zongze to get the 400,000 mu of land.

Zhao Yingluo was not used to his temper, and when the harvest was born, she directly chose a plot adjacent to his field.

Before the end of the day, a group of people had gathered at the head of the field, and those with high status naturally stood in the best position.

As for the ordinary peasant households, they are scattered on the periphery.

However, the contrast in the atmosphere of the peasant group is quite strong, the farmers who rent Zhao Yingluo's fields are smiling so much that their faces are almost like flowers, while the farmers who rent Liangda are all depressed.

"Let's make a comparison, this large area is the field outside the Liang Yuan, this is my field."

I saw that the wheat in Liang Da's field was sparse, and the ears of wheat were almost as thick as wheat stalks.

On the other hand, on Zhao Yingluo's side, the stout ears of wheat hung their heads low, and the outer skin was removed, and the grains of the entire ears of wheat were full and round, exuding a refreshing wheat fragrance.

The difference in the amount of land between the two fields is high.

Liang Da, who was mixed with the gentry, wanted to sneak away, but was seen by the sharp-eyed Zhao Yingluo, "Why should Liang Yuanwai leave in a hurry?" Who is lying to confuse the public, you might as well make it clear in front of everyone before leaving. ”

It's not a big deal to see the excitement, Zhao Yingluo reminded him, and those gentry immediately pushed Liang Da to the front.

Liang Da's eyes rolled wildly, he glanced at Zong Ze, and then at the others, his old face was flushed, and he said a little reluctantly, "It's me who confuses the public and deceives people." ”

This embarrassing appearance made everyone laugh......

Liang Da's matter is just an appetizer, and the staple food is still to come.

In order not to make the whole process of harvesting and weighing too boring, Zhao Yingluo, who was interested, played a small game.

"Taking advantage of this acre of land cutting, let's play a little game, for the yield of this acre of land and the yield of the acre of land outside Liang Yuan, you can guess casually, the person closest to the actual output will be rewarded with a free drunk hibiscus to eat hot pot for a month!"

One month! Eat a month of drunk hibiscus?

Drunken Hibiscus is now the most famous restaurant in Kaifeng City, although the price is high, but it can't resist the unique food experience.

If you don't make an appointment half a month in advance, you can't make an appointment!

The most terrifying thing is that if you go to another house to eat a high-end meal of wine and food, at best, it will cost one or two silver, but in the drunken hibiscus, don't go in if you don't have ten taels of silver.

Such an attractive prize immediately aroused the interest of everyone, so they began to guess how much yield per mu.

The first guess is the yield of Liang Danamu's land.

Zong Ze glanced at the sparse ears of wheat and said casually, "One hundred and forty-five catties!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Lu Hao asked, "One hundred and sixty catties." ”

Liang Da saw that they guessed so low, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and lifted it up, "Two hundred and fifty catties!" ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and it is not impossible to achieve two stones and five stones, provided that the wind and rain are smooth, but the drought in March will undoubtedly reduce the yield, as can be seen from the sparse wheat.

Subsequently, the gentry and peasants began to guess one by one, the lowest was seventy-five catties, and the highest was Liang Da's two hundred and fifty catties.

With the joint efforts of 100 people, it took only half an hour to complete the whole process from harvesting to threshing, and came to the weighing link.

Farmers who have planting experience all year round see that small pile, and they already have a rough idea in their hearts that this acre of land will reach the sky with more than one stone and five stones.

Sure enough, this pile of wheat only contained two sacks, and the weight was one hundred and forty-eight catties, which was about one stone.

The result was the closest thing Zong Zechai could get to the actual data, and he managed to win a reward of eating hot pot for free for a month.

After receiving this reward, Zong Ze was so happy that his beard shook so much that he almost couldn't control his old legs from jumping.

Liang Da's face was very dark, and while he was disappointed, he didn't forget to turn around and scold the farmers behind him, "Idiot! One acre of land grows one stone, and don't forget, tenant rent is one stone per acre! ”

After hearing this, the farmers wailed, over! After more than half a year of hard work, all of them were taken away by the landlord, and if one stone was still harvested this autumn, I am afraid that the whole family would starve before the end of the year.

Subsequently, Zhao Yingluo's quiz on the acre of land was opened.

After getting the first round of rewards, Zong Ze, who was full of confidence, was the first to speak, "Nine hundred and thirty catties"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Hao asked, "One thousand and fifty catties!" ”

This was followed by the other gentry, some guessing high and some low.

The lowest is as low as four hundred and fifty catties, and the person who reported this number was Liang Da, who was ridiculed just now.

The highest came to 1,500 catties, and it was a farmer named Li Sanxing.

Hearing his report, everyone shook their heads again and again, but it was a full 1,500 catties, what about kidding?

Even Zhao Yingluo was a little skeptical about his report, because her estimated output was about 1,350 catties, and she wanted to reach 1,500 catties, unless she had the planting management technology of later generations.

Let's see the final result.
