Chapter 381: Fu Doll is six and a half years old

Since there are people who help the family, Old Man Liu naturally does not refuse, and asks the family to buy decent meals.

However, the farmer's meal, and it is also a busy farming time, the portion is large, the taste is good, just do it, there are not so many types, it is too troublesome and time-consuming.

In the evening, a pot of stewed vermicelli with pork and radish, braised chicken nuggets, minced eggplant, and a large pot of vegetarian vegetables.

Master Li didn't eat for nothing, after all, he brought more than a dozen people and directly gave ten taels of silver as food expenses.

Wang Yashou saw that Master Li was very polite to Old Man Liu's family, but he was more familiar with Old Man Liu's family than him, which was quite strange.

After inquiring, I learned that Liu Yiyi's family provided melon, cold melon and bean dan to Zhenweilou.

I really didn't expect these things to come from Liujia Village.

When it comes to muskmelons, Wang Yajun remembered that the melons he ate at home were similar to those in Zhenwei Building, but at that time, the number of melons in Zhenwei Building was small and he was not allowed to buy them home, but where did his melons come from?

Wang Yajun was puzzled, but he was embarrassed to ask.

Now that Master Li has gained a firm foothold, Wang Yashi has also risen with the tide. After completing this mission, he will be able to become the head of the grain tax.

Only a dozen people were used, and even Master Li went to work in the field, plus the men, women and children of the Liu family, more than 20 people began to harvest, division of labor and cooperation.

In two days, all the rice has been ploughed, and the impurities in it have been removed, leaving only clean rice, which is being dried on the threshing floor.

After three days of drying, the rice had dried up, and the output reached 540 catties, more than 20 catties more than last year's 520 catties.

Patriarch Liu led the villagers to start harvesting rice, and the rice output of ordinary villagers reached about 500 catties, even so, it was very considerable.

Master Li used half a month to collect data before and after.

Before leaving, Master Li said to Old Man Liu and Liu Zhijiang in private: "These good seeds of your family will inevitably be bought by the county master, and they are still at a high price, even the rice of other families in your village, it is estimated that some people will buy it, you know it in your heart, don't sell it indiscriminately." ”

Hearing this, Old Man Liu was very happy, he collected more than 10,800 catties this year, and he didn't have to pay taxes. If you can sell ten cents a pound of rice, this is a hundred taels of silver.

With this money, he must buy more land.

The people of the village can also sell a lot of silver.

"Thank you Lord Li for reminding me, the grass people know, and I'll go to the patriarch to talk about it in a while." Old man Liu responded, and his heart was excited.

After Master Li left, Old Man Liu went to the patriarch in person.

When Patriarch Liu heard this, he was even more excited.

His family has 30 acres, and he does not ask for ten yuan a catty, but can sell it for six yuan a catty, which is two yuan higher than ordinary rice.

The output of 500 catties per mu of land, 30 mu is more than 15,000 catties, and after paying 3,000 catties of grain tax, there are more than 12,000 catties, which is the income of 780 taels of silver.

Compared with the previous acre of land, a good year is only 300 catties, and a bad year, one or two hundred catties is also a common thing.

In addition to paying taxes, they also eat and drink, and there is not much surplus.

Sure enough, three days later, 10,000 catties of grain from Old Man Liu's family were transported, and the county magistrate directly gave 100 taels of silver.

Although the price given by other families in Liujia Village is not ten yuan, the price is not low, seven yuan a catty.

In addition to paying taxes, the villagers also sold some rice seeds for their own families and relatives.

Liujia Village, like the patriarch's house, sold for more than 90 taels of silver; For example, if there are only a few acres of land at home, there are also more than a dozen taels of silver.

The people of Liujia Village are smiling, and every family is very happy.

Liu Yi leaned on her small chin, a little melancholy, "Hey······"

"Xiao Jiu'er, what are you sighing for?" After Mrs. Liu heard it not far away, she couldn't cry or laugh.

"I was thinking, we have grown good rice, but now all of it has been bought by the government, and I can't eat delicious rice made from such good rice." Liu Yiyi couldn't cry or laugh, her brows furrowed.

She underestimated the county magistrate's desire for political achievements, and now not only reported to the prefect, but also promoted this rice seed throughout the county.

Some people dislike the high price of rice seeds, and Lord Zhou ordered that you can use rice seeds first, and then pay after harvesting.

By next year, the entire Meiling County will be planted with such high-yield rice seeds.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, these rice seeds will be sold to other places, and she can't buy some of these rice grains if she wants to.

was really said by Liu Yiyi, from now on, so that three years later, the idea of eating his own rice has not been realized.

Because Zhou Daren paid attention to agricultural affairs and found good seeds, his performance evaluation was excellent for two consecutive years, and he was transferred to other places to become the prefect.

When I arrived at that place, I saw that rice and wheat were also planted, and I sent a letter to Master Li at that time, asking for a large purchase of improved seeds.

In the past two years, Master Li has seen hope and wants to go up, but he can't show his talent and fame at all. So in addition to the usual agricultural work, I didn't care about other things, preparing for the imperial examination, and preparing for the examination.

In the past, Master Li's teacher said that Master Li made a fuss about space, and after several years of down-to-earth work, Master Li had something to say when he was in the scientific examination, and some of this year's topics were related to agriculture.

Therefore, Master Li can do these topics easily.

Originally, I just tried it, but I didn't expect Master Li to really pass the test this time and become a lifter.

The original county magistrate, Lord Zhou, has always remembered Master Li's contributions, and the Fucheng side also needs a person who understands agricultural affairs to stabilize the situation in Meiling County and ensure that the high-yield and improved varieties here are foolproof.

Therefore, the prefect and the county commander Zhou took care of Master Li, so Master Li also became the county magistrate of Meiling County.

When Lord Zhou took office in the Fucheng next door, he could think of a way to make a fortune, that is, farming.

There is more food, the people can eat enough, there are more chickens, ducks and geese, more taxes are paid, and the population is more, this is a political achievement!

Therefore, after Mr. Li from Meiling County received a private message from his old boss, of course he didn't dare to slack off.

All the improved varieties in Meiling County are supplied to the prefecture for the prefect to promote the improved varieties in the whole county and the place where the Zhou people are newly transferred.

At this time, Liu Yiyi was already a six-and-a-half-year-old girl, with a long pink carving, practicing martial arts with Shen Bingzhu, and she had already achieved a little success.

At this time, Liu Yiyi was wearing a narrow-sleeved gown and pants, and her hair was tied into a bun and fixed with a wooden hairpin.

The boy's dress is more suitable for martial arts, but fortunately, it is only in his own home, and no outsiders see it, so the family will not ask too much. Liu Yiyi was walking in the courtyard at this time, starting a new day of practice.

Liu Qilang and Liu Balang, at first, they practiced martial arts with Liu Yiyi because of their interest, and later they were unwilling to practice because of hard work, but the little leather whip in Liu Yiyi's hand was merciless, urging the two brothers to work hard with her.
