"It's still scouting, it will take a few days for a thorough investigation," Liu Qing said tiredly: "But judging from the current situation, although the scope involved is wide, the number of people is not very large. Now, about one in thirty-five households."
2.9% or so, this probability does not seem to be large, but if it is based on the entire Lingnan, this data is not small, not to mention, I don’t know if other places besides Lingnan also have an impact.
"Wangfei, I don't know if the alternative seed source has been found, and whether it is in line with the climate of Lingnan. If the yield is acceptable, this year's rice seed can be planted. "
Mu Yangling's face turned cold, and he said, "The rice seed is a good rice seed, or the rice seed of Si County, a famous land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River."
"What?" Liu Qing paled in shock, "From Si County?"
Si County is rich in soil and water, and seven of the ten acres are high-grade fields. The dense water network allows Si County to not lack water even in dry seasons. Therefore, the rice is fragrant and the fish is fat. The rice in Si County is famous for its fragrance. The milled rice can be called top quality, but at the same time, this kind of rice is also very soil-intensive. Except for Si County and the Jiangnan Water Village, which is also rich in soil and water, it is not viable to grow anywhere else.
Even in Lin'an City, not many people dare to plant rice seeds in Si County, let alone Lingnan, where the water and soil are poor.
Liu Qing frowned in distress, "Who is this, with such a big hand? Those rice seeds are not cheap."
Mu Yangling sneered, "So this person is hard to find, but easy to find."
Because of carrying water and soil, the amount of seeds left in Si County is limited every year. It is not easy for this person to buy so many seeds. Although the farmers in Lingnan cannot recognize the type of such seeds, they will not mistake the quality and age of the seeds. So this kind of seed was kept from last year.
If you want to transfer so many seeds to Lingnan, you will not leave a little flaw.
"We are responsible for the investigation of the case by the prince and the prince of the country. Our top priority is to minimize the loss. I have already asked Fengshou Grain Shop to prepare other seeds, and you will inform the nearby farmers to take the documents issued by your yamen in person. If you come to lead, if you are far away, your yamen will take the seeds and distribute them in person.
"If the No. 1 seed of upland rice is not enough, you can plant other rice. You can also plant corn or peanuts. In short, it doesn't matter which one, you must replace all the rice seeds in Si County." Mu Yangling rubbed his forehead and said. : "Otherwise, once the summer drought occurs, all the rice fields in Sixian County will die from drought."
Liu Qing nodded in agreement and sighed: "This year's farming and harvesting will be polarized, most of the people planting rice seedlings for irrigation and harvesting early, and the rest will have to be set back for about half a month. When things come, if they don't replant, those affected farmers who collect taxes after the autumn harvest will probably sell their fields or their children."
Mu Yangling's heart moved, and when Qi Haoran came back in the evening, he asked suspiciously: "What do you think this person is trying to do? I can't see how Daqi is better, and deliberately destroy it?"
"What else can I do besides this?" Qi Haoran was so tired that he lay on the bed and asked Mu Yangling to press his shoulders and back, saying, "Big brother has written to me, saying that Jiangnan is not abnormal, but Tongchuan Mansion and other central areas There is also such a phenomenon in the region, but the situation is not like the eyes of Lingnan, and the elder brother in the north has also asked people to investigate, and it is all right."
"Jiangnan is at the feet of the emperor, they can't move their hands and feet, and they can't move their hands and feet, and the north has always been the eldest brother's territory, and they have no holes to drill, but Lingnan and Tongchuan were the places where the rebellion was the most serious at the beginning, and now they have recovered. It's also the slowest." Mu Yangling casually pinched his shoulders, leaned on his shoulders and said, "I always feel that their goals are more than that. For example, we have also been operating in Lingnan for three years. How could you not notice any movement?"
You must know that in addition to the army, Fan Zijin's business has also opened in Lingnan, and those shops are their secret halls.
"unless……"
"Unless someone gives them cover," Qi Haoran's eyes flashed a cold light, turned over and looked straight at his wife and said, "Lingnan!"
The people who can cover them naturally have a certain power in Lingnan. Qi Haoran instantly listed several candidates in his heart. The first one was the prefectures in Lingnan, but he quickly rejected it, because in the past two or three years, officials from the prefectures in Lingnan have appeared. All the officials in the middle and lower levels were selected by Brother Qi Haoran, and then some were arranged in. It was not a piece of iron at all.
In addition to the personal character of several of the loyal and direct ministers, he still dared to guarantee it.
Is that Miao people?
Or a local gentry in Lingnan?
Qi Haoran frowned tightly and said, "This matter needs to be investigated again, but if you dare to touch the head of the master, the master will not make it easier for them."
At this time, there were indeed a few families in the Juzhou Mansion that were having a hard time. They finally got together while a family had a birthday banquet.
Qian Shishen said with a livid face: "Okay, don't complain about each other, who would have expected that a dignified princess would go to Zhuangzi to see the crops, dig the seeds that were planted by herself, and even recognize the seeds?"
"What does Brother Qian Shi think about this time? The matter has been exposed..." Wei Shishen thought of King Rongjun's iron-blooded tactics, and his face turned pale.
Qian Shishen glanced at him and said to everyone: "What does this have to do with us? We are not even officials in the court, what should we do on weekdays, how do we know about the affairs of the court?"
"Stop by static?" Squire Qin asked softly.
Qian Shishen showed an admiring smile, and the few people whispered for a while, and this was the only way to do it.
But Mr. Wei always felt unsafe, and said in a low voice: Don't forget, we have a lot of upland rice No. 1 seeds in the field now. "
Qian Shishen snorted coldly, "The seedlings are two inches tall now, and the seeds have already grown out of shape, so she can still recognize them? After a while, I will ask the long-term workers to plant the seedlings, and the seedlings will disappear. Don't they all look like that? Could it be that she can still recognize them?"
The people present were landlords for several generations, and naturally they didn’t know about farming. In their eyes, they were all green seedlings, and there was no difference at all.
But I don’t know that in the eyes of people who know how to grow the land, the seedlings can also be distinguished.
And Mu Yangling, who was not even able to distinguish between wheat and millet seedlings, can naturally tell them apart.
Before Mu Yangling could suspect these people, the tenants who were serving the rice fields became suspicious first, and some daring and careful people secretly went to the Rongjun Wangfu to report.
At that time, Mu Yangling was still eating breakfast. Hearing that, she glanced at the sky outside and was drowsy, but she looked like at around 4 in the morning. She got up early because she had to go to inspect the grain store's warehouse in advance. home?
"Sneak? What?"
"The servant doesn't know, so he doesn't tell me no matter how he asks him. He has to meet the lord or princess in person before he is willing to speak."
