Chapter 439: Harvest

Before dawn, a procession of more than 2,000 people escorted the alcohol and boxes of other things to be sent to the north, and set off for the north.

As the general who led the team said, they erased the traces of their visit before leaving, but the movement was real.

It's just that when the villagers got up the next day and saw the village road without a trace, they silently chose to forget about the events of last night.

As for what the Wen family is doing, why do people in the army come to the Wen family in the middle of the night, this is not for them to take care of, and it is not for them to ask, after all, who thinks that life is too easy? Now hugging the thighs of the Wen family, the Wen family eats meat, they can finally mix some soup and drink, and no one will be really stupid enough to smash their own rice bowl.

Finally, in the expectation of Chen Xianling, the Wen family and everyone in Gutong Village, the rice in the large experimental field by the river began to turn yellow until it turned golden.

Since the rice began to ripen, Wen Xiuyi went to the field more often, and even Wen Laohan seemed to live in the field.

Until this day.

"Boss, it's almost, I think I can take it." Wen Laohan has many years of experience as an old farmer, looking at so much rice, and he feels that the boss is really capable.

Wen Xiuyi nodded: "Dad, arrange for someone to collect it." ”

Wen Laohan refused.

"No, we'll do it ourselves."

This piece of rice field, Wen Laohan is absolutely impossible to pass through the hands of others, he wants to personally harvest the rice, weigh, he wants to see for himself, these methods of the boss, can improve the yield of rice.

When the people in the village heard that the Wen family was going to harvest rice, every family volunteered to help, carrying a sickle and a basket, but when they arrived at the edge of the field, Wen Laohan did not need their help.

"Uncle Wen, we will definitely be careful to ensure that not a single grain of rice will fall to the ground, you can rest assured, we are all good at work, and you don't know."

"Yes, Uncle Wen, it depends on when you will receive it."

"It looks like there hasn't been rain these days, but the weather is hot, and if it rains one day, it will be a bad thing."

Everyone said a word, and the village chief also persuaded on the side: "Yes, old man, if you don't pick a few people who work carefully with your hands and feet, everyone will help you, otherwise your family takes care of the people in the village so much, and everyone doesn't know how to thank you." ”

Wen Laohan was still shaken in the end, indeed, their family and Wen Xiuyi's group of apprentices were only more than ten people, when will these ten acres of land go?

The early harvest is brought up, the early knowledge of the yield is also relieved.

"Okay." After speaking, Wen Laohan began to pick people, and the ones he picked were all the descendants he was familiar with, and he would not have any eyes if he worked quickly and diligently.

Although the people who were not selected were a little disappointed, they were not unhappy, but said: "Then you guys are a little slippery, let's go and clean up the barn first." ”

"Ah, okay."

In this way, the people who came to help were divided into two groups, one followed Wen Laohan to harvest, and the other went to the threshing field to prepare.

Wen Xiuyi specializes in being the one who coordinates the overall situation.

The rice varieties in each experimental field are different, so they need to be distinguished, so Wen Xiuyi has been staring at them, harvesting them one by one.

Everyone is working in full swing, for fear of breaking an ear of rice and losing a rice, you know, if Wen Xiuyi really succeeds, these rice will be the key to their survival in the future.

So no one dares to make trouble at this time.

In addition to harvesting, you also have to make records, and these things are handed over to Wen Xiuyi's apprentices.

More than ten acres of land, busy for more than ten days, finally, it was time to finally weigh up.

On this day, the threshing floor in the village was full of people.

Men, women, and children, except for those who worked in workshops and factories, almost all of them came, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and some people climbed on the walls, roofs, and trees, just to see Wen Xiuyi weigh them.

Today, the county order of Chen County has moved the scales of the county government, which is unified throughout the country and issued by the household department.

Next to the threshing floor is the warehouse that the villagers used to temporarily store grain, and at this time the warehouse is emptied, and only the rice of Wen Xiuyi is placed.

Chen Xianling rubbed his hands nervously, whether he ate bran or spicy food in the future depends on this time.

"Lao Wen, let's start?"

Wen Xiuyi had confidence in himself, nodded, and Chen Xian Ling immediately waved his hand, and the officials in the yamen began to move, weighing.

The crowd of onlookers was so quiet and terrible that they could only hear the sound of the servants carrying grain bags.

Chen Xianling was walking back and forth beside him, and he was in a hurry.

"You can't sit down." Qiu Zhi was dazzled by him, and could only complain helplessly.

Chen Xianling rubbed his hands: "This, I'm nervous." ”

Qiu Zhi: "......"

Not to mention that Chen Xianling is nervous, that is, Wen Laohan and the rest of the Wen family are so nervous, if you want to say that the least nervous, I am afraid that only Wen Xiuyi himself.

"My lord, the first batch has a total of four hundred and thirty-six pounds." After weighing the first batch of officials, they stepped forward to salute and report the number.

Chen Xianling's mouth was in the shape of an oh, that is, the rest of the Wen family and the onlookers all looked at each other, and everyone had a happy look on their faces, four hundred and thirty-six catties, which was already dozens of catties beyond their usual output.

The crowd began to discuss, all saying that Wen Xiuyi had the ability.

Chen Xianling stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lao Wen, you can, you have really increased production." ”

Wen Xiuyi frowned and ignored him, obviously not very satisfied with this result, but fortunately, he had made a record of each rice seed, and immediately ordered the apprentices on the side to write it down: "Write down the yield of No. 1." ”

"Yes, sir." The person on the side took a small notebook and began to memorize.

Chen Xianling wanted to say something, Wen Xiuyi looked at the person weighing and said, "Scale No. 2." ”

"Yes."

An hour later.

The official stepped forward: "My lord, five hundred and seven pounds." ”

Outcry! People even forgot to react.

Wen Xiuyi continued: "Go on, Scale Three." ”

The official couldn't hold back his excitement: "My lord, seven hundred and fourteen pounds." ”

Wen Xiuyi clapped: "Scale No. 4." "This is the last, and it was Yaoyao who got him rice seeds from the space.

This time, the officials were about to cry, and their excited voices were trembling: "My lord, nine hundred, nine hundred and eighty pounds." ”

They have been servants for so many years, and have collected so many grain taxes, and they have never seen such a high yield.

With such data, Chen Xianling was trembling and couldn't speak clearly, he looked left and again, Li Yi on the left was stunned, and then looked at the right, Qiu Zhi had already stood up, and the person had already run to the scale.

He wanted to share this joy with Old Man Wen, but found that the old man was trembling and couldn't speak for a long time with his mouth open.

looked at Wen Xiuyi again, but he was still frowning.

It's not that Wen Xiuyi wants to frown, but the rice seeds that Wen Yao gave him, which are all more than 1,000 catties per mu, it seems that the problem is not only the rice seeds, but also the management of soil quality, which must also be improved.
