Jiang Wenyuan was grateful for their kindness, and bluntly said that after the harvest of autumn, in addition to the promised wages, each person would be given an extra bonus of one or two silver.

In the future, if the family has a good field and wants to grow grain, you can also come to him to buy grain.

Of course, if it is fraudulent, let alone buying grain seeds, it will be directly punished for fraud.

The county government's big prison is in charge of eating and living, and there are rats and cockroaches to provide night wake-up service, which will satisfy you.

Because Jiang Wenyuan did not keep it a secret from the outside world, it didn't take long for almost half of Qingzhou to know that the Zhuangzi that the emperor rewarded the county magistrate with a high yield of rice as long as three ears of ordinary rice was grown.

Knowing is knowing, watching the excitement is watching the excitement, but no one has the courage to steal.

Not to mention the words "the emperor's gift" is a deterrent.

There are still twelve hours a day, and the constantly rotating Yulin guards are guarding.

plus the agricultural officials of the imperial court and the officials of the county government who come to check in from time to time.

Coupled with the automatic and spontaneous strict protection of the long-term workers hired by the Jiang family, outsiders want to steal, but there is no door.

On the eighth day of August, it is auspicious.

The Zhuangzi of the Jiang family, in the eyes of countless Qingzhou people, opened the sickle.

The long-term workers were divided into three groups. One is responsible for the harvest.

One is responsible for carrying the cut millet into the quadrangle bucket and threshing.

One by one, the beaten millet baskets were pulled back to Xijindu to dry in a horse-drawn cart.

After drying, blow away the grain, and then count the yield on a scale.

In order to ensure the fairness and justice of this matter, and to make it less troublesome when reporting the output, Jiang Wenyuan handed over the matter to the two agricultural officials, and he did not interfere.

Jiang Yuqing also came.

She liked such a lively harvest scene, but she had a little opinion about the big bucket that was threshing rice.

It's a bit too primitive, time-consuming, and laborious.

The welfare home where I grew up in my previous life also has a few acres of rice fields. Whenever the rice is harvested, the dean's mother will bring some older children with her, not only to help but also to teach them survival skills in disguise.

At that time, it was a rice threshing machine that was powered by foot pedals.

Several boards build up a large semi-open wooden box structure, and in the middle is a large barrel covered with inverted V-shaped tines.

The two ends are connected to a large and a small interocclusive gear set, and are driven by a front-mounted pedal.

The style is not complicated. It can be done with the productivity of this era.

After looking at it for a while, she climbed back into the carriage, took out a pen and paper from the spiritual realm, and quickly drew a picture, it didn't matter if she didn't know the exact size.

Her father is extremely smart, and I believe that as long as you look at it, you can understand that eight or nine are not far from ten.

The craftsmanship of the dumplings is not very good, the lines are crooked, and you can barely see a rough idea.

But she can't stand the fact that she has a father who trusts his daughter 100%.

In Jiang Wenyuan's subconscious, as long as it was given to him by his daughter, it was a good thing.

He took the little graffiti-like paper, turned it sideways and vertically and looked at it a few times, and it really made him understand.

This is clearly a new type of threshing tube, if it is really made, the efficiency of threshing will be at least several times greater.

Jiang Wenyuan kissed the top of his baby daughter's head fiercely, and went to the farmer with the drawing paper.

So, everyone just looked at this big official, without any image, sitting on a pile of freshly beaten grain grass, gesturing around a small piece of broken paper, and the excitement was overflowing.

After a while, one of the agricultural officers ran away with a piece of paper.

The steps were cheerful, I didn't know that he thought he was going to meet his little daughter-in-law.

After the county government promised a lot of money, but in just three days, the threshing machine sample of the foot pedal was made.

Jiang Wenyuan asked this big guy to move to the field, rolled up his trouser legs and tried it himself, hey, it's really good.

With a slight belt under his feet, the barrel flew up, and he put the handle down, only to hear: "Bang la la", and the millet that was close to the barrel was beaten down.

With a slight flip in his hand, he turned the handle over, and there was a "swish" sound, and the grain on the handle was beaten clean, and only the straw remained.

In short, this thing is clean, not to mention, fast, and not tiring.

Such an artifact, of course, must be vigorously promoted.

So, Jiang Wenyuan placed an order for ten rice threshing machines overnight.

Although there is not much to do this year, there is still a coming year, and it will be used every year.

Heaven is beautiful.

The autumn harvest is always a crisp autumn weather. Five days after the rice in the Zhuangzi was harvested, the grain was also dried and blown away. All that's left is to weigh it into the warehouse.

The three agricultural officials personally supervised and weighed, and it took two full days to complete the weighing.

In the end, 1076 acres of land were harvested 847888 catties, with an average yield of 788 catties per mu.

Compared with the yield of hybrid rice in the previous life, this yield per mu is completely insufficient. Even compared with ordinary conventional rice, it is not comparable.

However, this is ancient times, there are no chemical fertilizers and no pesticides, only the most basic farm fertilizer, and this yield is also very good.

Fortunately, the millet of this variety is genetically stable and can be kept on its own.

In Jiang Yuqing's eyes, it can only be regarded as a reluctant output, which was unimaginable in the eyes of these ancients.

The yield per mu of ordinary fertile land is more than 300 catties, but the county magistrate can grow 788 catties per mu, which has more than doubled, and the people's eyes are red.

After the news came out, the crazy people surrounded the county government and wanted to buy high-yield cereals.

At this point, the newly harvested grain is no longer what he said.

However, the excerpt is still on the way to Beijing, and he has no good way. But if you don't come up with a charter, I'm afraid the people will not be able to explain it.

Jiang Wenyuan had no choice, so he decided to cut first and then play, and posted a notice outside the county office on the same day. It means that the original intention is to sell high-yield grain seeds to the people at a fair price.

As for how to sell it and when it will be sold, we will tell you separately. Subsequently, Jiang Wenyuan looked at the number of acres of all fields in the county, and had a general plan in his heart.

After seeking the opinions and suggestions of several agricultural officials, it was finally decided to leave enough grain for the whole county, and the rest to be distributed equally to the next few counties.

He can't eat meat, but his colleagues can't even drink soup, so he really incurs hatred.

The high-yield cereal seed is 30 wen a catty, and the amount of cereal seed per mu is 6-8 catties.

The head of each village and the head of the village shall count the number of acres of high-yield grain seeds that the village needs to purchase, and check the registered fields and acres on file with the county government.

It may not be transferred or resold during this period. Once discovered, the entire village where he is located will be disqualified from purchasing.

This puts an end to the biggest extent from the exploitation of loopholes by those big landlords, big businessmen, or powerful people.

Jiang Wenyuan didn't want to make wedding clothes for those resident insects.

After formulating the detailed rules, Jiang Wenyuan once again wrote an excerpt on this matter, so that people could send it to the capital quickly.

Capital.

Since last year's sweet potato, Qingzhou has become the emperor's focus on it. The Qingzhou County ordered Jiang Wenyuan's excerpts to go straight to Tianting without passing through the state capital.

Especially after the rice in the south enters the autumn harvest, Emperor Xia Jing has to ask almost every day, but there are excerpts from Qingzhou.

waited until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and at the end of August, the Qingzhou messenger who made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military want to penetrate finally entered Beijing.

The people below did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly presented the letter. coincided with the Great Dynasty Meeting, and when I heard that the excerpt of Qingzhou had arrived, the ministers stretched out their heads and looked around.

Even if he had been prepared in his heart, but when he saw the output of 788 catties per mu of Xingu on the excerpt, Emperor Xia Jing couldn't help but applaud continuously.

"Good, good, good! This Jiang Wenyuan is really a lucky star of my family. With a yield of 788 catties of rice per mu, only I can grow it in the world, hahahaha! ”

When the ministers saw the emperor's posture, it was a great joy.

So they congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for this good seed." ”

Of course, no one dared to question Jiang Wenyuan's fraud this time.

Are the three agricultural officials you sent by His Majesty ornamental? I didn't look at the three bright red finger prints on the fold!

In addition, the agricultural officials also sent two drawings and a delicate small object with the fold.

After Xia Jingdi read the letter, he knew that this was actually a new threshing machine model.

It's just such a small thing, but it can more than double the efficiency of harvesting rice.

That is to say, the same acres of rice can be harvested in half the time it used to harvest, or even less.

Si Nongguan suggested that it could be promoted nationwide from next year.

And the person who came up with this idea turned out to be a two-and-a-half-year-old child. This child is Jiang Wenyuan's youngest daughter.

It is said that when she was harvesting rice, she saw a bucket of rice and suddenly drew it. After she finished drawing, she took the picture to her father Jiang Wenyuan.

After reading it, Jiang Wenyuan felt that it was very feasible, so he pulled them together to study the details of the composition, and after several experiments, they finally made a very useful finished product.

After going down, Emperor Xia Jing took the palm-sized, barely called a drawing of paper in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The lines on the paper are crooked, and you can vaguely see the general outline. The sketches are drawn with thin charcoal strips sharpened, and the brushstrokes are very immature.

When you think about the age of the painter, it's rare to be able to paint like this.

Emperor Xia Jing asked Li Deshun: "That little girl is really that smart?" ”

Li Deshun said inscrutablely: "This, what the slave said doesn't count." However, the slave heard that earlier this year, Divine Doctor Qiu had taken her under his disciple as a closed disciple. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xia Jing was thoughtful.

The name of Doctor Qiu is known to everyone in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Even the current Tai Hospital is his disciple, and at least half of the entire Tai Hospital are Bian Que Gu's disciples.

The true master of the masters. is such a cow man, he actually accepted a little girl doll who was only two years old as a closed disciple, and this girl's talent can be seen.

High-yielding grain varieties that yield three times higher than ordinary cereals, who doesn't want them.

Just when the ministers were secretly rubbing their minds and making up their minds, Jiang Wenyuan sent another letter to the palace.

After Emperor Xia Jing read it, Zhu Biyu approved a big "quasi" word, and attached a few lines of small characters in the blank space next to it.

"High-yield cereals and sweet potatoes are related to the national system, and Qingzhou County ordered Jiang Wenyuan to deal with them with full authority. Those who dare to stretch out their hands indiscriminately can cut it first and then play. ”

After the approval, he ordered someone to take the sword with him, and immediately sent it to Qingzhou.

Seeing this situation, some forces that were originally about to move immediately died down.

His Majesty the Emperor has given his sword, and if he puts it up again, it is not a head iron, it is stupid.

It is said that after Jiang Wenyuan received the emperor's approval and the sword of the Son of Heaven, he was so moved that he couldn't wait to die for the emperor.

Holding the sword and facing the direction of the palace, the mountain shouted long live, kowtowing and thanking.

Jiang Wenyuan, a county magistrate who has only been in office for more than a year, has not only been made an earl, but now he is given the sword of the Son of Heaven and enjoys the right to cut first and then play.

This treatment is the only way to go through the dynasties and dynasties, and to patrol the Quartet on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

The news spread, and there were all kinds of envy and jealousy in the Lingzhou Mansion, but it was limited to that.

Being able to gain such trust from the Son of Heaven, Jiang Wenyuan felt a lot of pressure while being moved.

Fortunately, now that the power is in hand, there is no need to shrink back when doing things, and the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages.

The time quickly came to October in the speculation of all parties, and the sweet potatoes planted this year were harvested.

With the bumper harvest of sweet potatoes planted by each family, Xijindu and Xiushuiwan are full of laughter.

The sweet potatoes they planted were well served, and the high yield was about 5,000 catties, and the low yield was 4,1200 catties.

In addition to the 100 catties of seeds allowed to be left by each family, the rest of the intact ones were sold to the county government for five wen a catty. This acre of land alone has more than 20 taels of silver, and it is not a problem to get rid of poverty and become rich.

But anyone who grows sweet potatoes is about to laugh in their mouths.

After the existing sweet potatoes were harvested, 144 acres of sweet potatoes, excluding the 100 catties left by each family, a total of 626,400 catties were harvested. This does not include the 23 acres planted by the Jiang family after harvesting watermelons.

After the excerpt was sent to the capital, it caused another major earthquake.

Emperor Xia Jing was happy, and he even decreed that Jiang Wenyuan was canonized as the hereditary third generation of "Qingzhou Hou", and he had thousands of households.

His daughter Jiang Yuqing, who made a contribution to the construction of a new agricultural tool and rice threshing machine, was given the title of "Xiangjun" and the title of "Linghui".

While the officials were envious and jealous of Jiang Wenyuan's holy favor, they had to admire him, after all, people are really capable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a contemporary Shennong.
