Chapter 1047: The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-law of a Blessed Farm Girl (42)
Everyone has a conditioned reflex. Whenever they see a crop they dont recognize, they think it is a product of the Western Regions.
But this is what Xu Yin wants.
The Western Region is separated by mountains and rivers, and the roads are long. Most people will not really go there to seek confirmation.
"My lord, these are indeed the seeds from the Western Regions that a commoner woman bought in Chunzhou Prefecture. At that time, she felt that these seeds were very special, so she singled them out and planted two small ridges."
When the county magistrate heard that this was indeed the case, he quickly urged the yamen servant to go down and help: "What are you still doing? Go and help."
With more people and greater strength, two rows of corn and two rows of taro were harvested quickly.
While weighing, Li Zheng noticed that the yield was high and low, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on? Is it related to the land?"
Xu Yin touched her nose: "Oh, it's because of the fertilizer."
Fertilizer? A new type of fertilizer was applied to one part? No fertilizer was applied to one part?
No, a new type of fertilizer was applied to one piece, and a more fertile fertilizer was applied to the other piece.
Li Zheng's eyes almost popped out of his head, and his voice changed with excitement: "What? Is there any fat that is more powerful than the new fat?"
Sounds like a tongue twister.
The county magistrate said: "This matter is not urgent..." because he already knew about the fertilizer, and he even took away a handful of castor beans for this purpose.
Is the fertilizer issue not urgent? So what's the hurry?
Oh yes, high-yielding grain seeds! !
"Meng Jin's wife, what is the name of the red-skinned and sweet-tasting thing that Meng Jin sent to my house this morning? Can the yield per mu really reach ten stones?"
Xu Yin met their expectant eyes: "I also made an estimate. If you take out all the fruits of one seedling, it will weigh about twenty or thirty kilograms. It doesn't matter if you plant thirty or forty seedlings in one acre of land. The yield per mu will be enough." Ten stones?
Li Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "So, if we plant more seedlings per acre, can the yield per acre be increased?"
How big is a seedling? I can plant hundreds of seedlings in one acre of land!
Fortunately, she kept a handful in her hand, otherwise all her efforts would have been wasted.
"Sir, where is Zhuangzi? Why don't you let the women go and have a look? Maybe there is a chance of rescue."
County Magistrate Chen: uh, in the capital.
Xu Yin:
Sister Dang didnt say anything.
Not to mention that the road is far away, even if it is very close, the capital is the territory where the sister-in-law breaks into the dungeon. She can't even get away, so how can she take the initiative to run into it.
As a result, County Magistrate Chen came up with an excellent idea: Thats right! Mr. and Mrs. Cui are good at farming, and they have seeds from the Western Regions in their hands. Why not take them to the capital to farm in the village of His Highness the Crown Prince? In the field they are good at, if they help His Highness the Crown Prince solve their problems, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely give them gold and land. That is much better than being an ordinary Dawa villager!
County Magistrate Chen stroked his beard, went back to write a letter, and reported this proposal to the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince readily agreed, but in order to prevent his brothers who coveted his position as Crown Prince from finding out about the trouble behind the matter, County Magistrate Chen asked him to use his wife and relatives as relatives. In the name of Mr. Cui, Mr. and Mrs. Cui were brought to Beijing.
Magistrate Chen came to deliver the good news to Xu Yin.
Xu Yin: Listen to me, thank you
She declined on the spot: "Mr. Chen, a civilian woman was born in the countryside since she was a child. She is used to life in the countryside. When she went to the capital, she was worried that she would not be acclimatized."
Magistrate Chens persuasion was fruitless, but he couldnt force him. He was worried that if he pushed too hard, he would offend others and make things worse, so he might as well maintain the current status quo.
With this thought, Magistrate Chen said a few polite words and went back.
Xu Yin was puzzled. She thought it would take a lot of talking, but she didn't expect the county magistrate to be so reasonable? It seems that the emperor of the Daqi Dynasty is generally a wise king, otherwise the officials below would not pretend to be ordinary people at heart.
Autumn comes and goes and another year comes.
Xu Yins family gave half of the lotus roots they harvested last year for planting in the collective lotus pond. Of course, it was not free of charge. It was counted as her work points. If the lotus roots sold well at the end of the year, she could get a lot of money.
In addition to leaving some seeds for his own lotus pond, Xu Yin taught the women in the lotus root processing workshop how to make lotus root starch and gave the remaining lotus root starch to the county magistrate and his wife, along with some instructions on how to eat it.
The word was written by Comrade Xiao Jin.
After more than a year of literacy classes, he has an excellent memory. He not only recognizes the common characters of this dynasty, but also learns how to write.
Xu Yin invited Lin Xiyun to come to her home to hold a literacy class. The original purpose was to help Comrade Xiaojin learn a few more words. Now that he has learned almost everything Lin Xiyun would know, there is no need to continue the literacy class. .
But after Xu Yin and Li Zheng discussed it, they built a school in Xiaowa Village and continued to ask Lin Xiyun to be a master to educate the children in the village.
