Space Farming: Pampered

Chapter 152 Promoted to the prefect of Qingzhou

Chapter 152 Promoted to the prefect of Qingzhou
Due to the drought, the grain in the field was not harvested, and the harvest was very little.

The food collected in many places, not to mention paying taxes, is not enough for their own food.

Shen Mu had the foresight to build water conservancy. Although the weather was dry, water from the reservoir could be released into the river to irrigate the people's crops. Thanks to Shen Jintang's insecticide powder, Yichang County's harvest was even better than in previous years.

The grain harvest per acre of land is more than one stone more than before.

Therefore, people in Yichang County can be seen everywhere happily in the fields and can't keep their mouths shut.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, how is your family's harvest this year?"

A woman with a floral kerchief wrapped around her head was busy in her own field while asking another woman in a nearby field.

"One acre of land is about one stone more than in previous years, which is not satisfactory, not satisfactory hahaha." The woman called Zhang's sister-in-law smiled and covered her mouth.

"What about your family? How is the harvest this year?"

"Hey, we're all pretty much the same. My family charges one stone more per mu of land than usual."

The two men in the field, seeing their woman covering her mouth and smiling happily, tied the sack tightly with a rope, and shook their heads and smiled happily.

One mu of land yields more grain than one shi, and ten mu of land yields more than ten shi.

Now each family has about eight to ten acres of land, and the extra ten or so grains of grain are like pies falling from the sky to the common people.

Ordinary people may not understand what the extra food means. If you save a little, ten shi of food can feed two or three people for a year.

Even if you can't finish it, saving it or selling it for silver is an extra income.

Such dialogues and such scenes are also being staged in different places in Yichang County.

"Uncle Sun, isn't this year's harvest good?" A man carrying a sack passed by a family's field, and carefully put down the sack to rest.

Hearing the words, the old man who was busy working in the field straightened up and wiped his sweat, smiling brightly and satisfied, and said, "Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect the harvest to be better than in previous years after months of drought."

After finishing the words, he took off the wine gourd on his waist and took a sip, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.

Seeing this, the man laughed again, and teased, "Drink a little wine while you're working?"

The old man also laughed, took another sip, stuffed the wine gourd and hung it around his waist again: "This year's harvest is good, the old lady specially allowed me to make a few more jugs of wine to drink."

The old woman not far in front of him heard the words, turned her head and smiled and gave him a look: "Damn old man, drink less and work faster."

"Hey!" The old man responded happily, bent down again and started to work.

Although the weather is hot, it is hard work.

But compared with the joy of harvest, this is nothing.

Seeing this, the man picked up the sack again, greeted the old man and left.

The harvest in Shen Jintang's farm is even better.

Because the food seeds in Zhuangzi are cultivated by her from the space.

In addition, there is a well in her farm, so the crops are watered more frequently and more thoroughly than other places where watering is more convenient.

After the grain was harvested, Shen Jintang stored it all in the warehouse.

The medicinal materials in another small village also had a bumper harvest.

When the busy farming season was over, it finally rained heavily.

Moisturizes the dry and cracked mother earth.

It rained heavily for three days and three nights.

After the rain cleared, a rainbow appeared in the sky.

After Shen Jintang got up and washed with the water in the basin, Fu Ling happily ran over.

"Girl, the rain has stopped. There is a rainbow in the sky."

Shen Jintang heard the words, wiped his face, and went out of the room to have a look.

I saw that there was a colorful rainbow bridge in the sky.

"Girl, isn't it pretty?" Fu Ling said excitedly.

Shen Jintang nodded with a smile, looked at Qingdai, and said, "Take the medicine box, we should go to the clinic."

Qing Dai replied yes, and went back to her room to take Shen Jintang's medicine box.

The master and servant were about to go to the medical clinic, when they saw a servant beside Shen Mu running happily.

"Girl, good news, great news." When he saw Shen Jintang, his eyes lit up, and he shouted at the top of his voice.

There was a brick under his feet for some reason, and he didn't see it because he was running too fast, so he tripped and fell, screaming.

Then, as if he didn't know the pain, he got up with a grunt.

He ran to Shen Jintang again.

Shen Jintang looked at him with a frown, and asked, "What's the matter? Take your time, don't worry."

The boy showed a bright smile: "My lord has been promoted, the prefect of Qingzhou."

Shen Jintang was slightly taken aback when he heard this.Then he smiled and said, "It's a good thing!"

She had already expected that her father would be promoted, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

It was even more unexpected that Shen Mu would be promoted to the prefect of Qingzhou.

The prefect of Qingzhou is a fourth-rank official, and the county magistrate Shen Mu is a seventh-rank official.

It is equivalent to being promoted to the third rank.

Shen Jintang didn't know how good the insecticide powder she prepared was for the Great Chu Kingdom and the people.

Moreover, Shen Mu himself was the second place in the palace examination, and it was already wronged him to make him a seventh-rank county magistrate.

The emperor issued a decree to promote him to the prefect of Qingzhou, one is compensation, and the other is reward.

After Shen Jintang came back from the hospital, the whole family ate together.

Shen Mu took a sip of his wine and said with a smile: "We will follow me to Qingzhou to take office next month, so we bid farewell here."

After saying that, he reached out and touched Shen Jintang's head, and said sincerely: "If it wasn't for Tang'er, dad wouldn't have been promoted so fast, and even got promoted three levels in a row."

This is something that many officials dare not even think about.

But it really happened to him.

Shen Jintang smiled, raised his glass to toast him, and said with a smile: "Father, don't underestimate yourself. This is also the result of your own hard work."

Wu Qiuniang smiled and said, "You father and daughter, stop bragging about each other, hurry up and eat, the food is going to be cold."

Shen Mu and Shen Jintang looked at each other and smiled when they heard the words, and started to eat.

The two brothers Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yunxuan had just returned from home to go to school, and the two brothers still didn't know about Shen Mu's promotion to the prefect of Qingzhou.

When their family goes to Qingzhou, it is estimated that Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yunxuan brothers will not return home yet.

Now that the date of going to Qingzhou to take office has been set, the next time is to settle many matters in Yichang County.

The clinic is also closed.

The things in Zhuangzi are usually managed by the stewards, but Shen Jintang doesn't need to worry too much.

You only need to hand over the account book and income to her every month.

In the county government office, Liang Xiancheng looked at Shen Mu and felt extremely sad.

Mr. Shen has been promoted to the prefect of Qingzhou.

And he is still a small county magistrate.

Why didn't he have the cheek to propose marriage to Shen Mu back then, betrotting Xuan'er to Master Shen's young master?

If so, he is also related to the magistrate.

Liang Xiancheng regretted thinking about it at the beginning.

Master Fu looked at Master Dong, and asked with a smile, "Master Dong, isn't he going to go with you?"

Master Dong nodded.
