Chapter 213 Wheat Weighing
The village head quickly explained, "Someone has already asked for it."

After finishing speaking, Su Mo walked over from the side of the road.

The village chief's eyes lit up, he waved to Su Mo, and then said to Xiao Jin: "My lord, the Gu Su clan is here."

Xiao Jin looked sideways and saw Su Mo coming, his expression softened slightly, and he waved his hand without waiting for Su Mo to salute: "Mrs. Gu, don't be too polite, come quickly."

Su Mo quickened his pace and walked to Xiao Jin's side, with a just right smile on his face, and thanked him.

Xiao Jin nodded slightly, did not speak, and stared at Man Yi.

Seeing this, Su Mo also followed Xiao Jin's line of sight.

Several yamen servants took out the bags of wheat that Man Yi had selected and put them aside, then opened a bag and poured them into the baskets.

Man Yi kept staring at it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded slightly and asked the servants to start weighing the wheat.

Two yamen servants stood on each side, lifting the poles carrying the baskets, while the other yamen servants carried the scales, first hooked the hemp ropes of the baskets with hooks, and then moved the weights to get the weight.

On the side stood a government servant holding paper and charcoal.

The weighing clerk reported the number obtained by subtracting the weight of the basket from the weighed weight, and the clerk with a pen and paper recorded it on the paper.

After weighing a basket, a government servant immediately re-bags it and puts it in the open space on the other side, so as not to confuse it again and weigh it for nothing.

There are still a few bags of selected wheat left, and they are all weighed according to this method. After confirming that there is no problem, he waved his hand.

They lifted the sack over the hemp rope and put it vertically on the hemp rope. One of them held the sack while the other two began to fiddle with the hemp rope. Firm and firm.

The remaining steps are the same as weighing with baskets.

Two yamen servants lifted the sack with a pole through the hemp rope, and then one yamen servant held a scale in the middle to weigh the wheat, and the other yamen servant took a pen and paper to record the weight.

It was past noon when Xiao Jin and the others came. By the time all the wheat was weighed, it happened to be sunset and the sky was full of red clouds.

The yamen servant in charge of keeping weight quickly fiddled with the abacus and calculated the total weight as quickly as possible.

"My lord, the total weight is 28 catties and 430 taels, and the average yield per mu is [-] catties, which can be classified as medium-sized fields."

Before he became emperor, Emperor Jingyong was a real farmer. After he ascended the throne, it was inevitable that he would emphasize agriculture, and the taxes on land were relatively loose.

And after taking full control of the government, the Bureau of Agriculture was set up to be responsible for the experimental planting of rice and wheat in the royal fertile land. It took more than ten years to spare manpower and financial resources, which more than doubled the yield of rice and wheat per mu, redefining the definition of the field. Classification standard.

Take wheat as an example, if the yield per mu is more than [-] catties, it is high-grade good land; if the yield is [-]-[-] catties per mu, it is medium-sized land; if the yield is less than [-] catties per mu, it is low-grade land.

And this successful saline-alkali land, it is amazing enough to grow crops. Su Mo didn't want to be too top-notch, so he didn't use the things in the system mall, but acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, and handed over the basic matters of planting to the village chief and old man Huang. in charge.

But even so, what the yamen servant said still shocked and excited all the people present.

You must know that before last year, it was still a saline-alkali land where not a single blade of grass grew, and no crops could be grown, but after using the improvement method proposed by Su Mo, the land can be divided into medium-sized fields, not to mention wheat...

Everyone looked at Su Mo with fiery eyes, even Xiao Jin.

He came from Yanjing, so he naturally knew how much agriculture was used by the Holy One today.

The successful improvement of saline-alkali land is shocking enough, so the Holy One has little confidence in its per-mu yield, and even said: It is a gift from heaven to be able to produce two hundred catties per mu.

Therefore, the imperial decree at the beginning was only to reward Gu Su's success in improving the saline-alkali land to grow crops.

But now, the yield per mu is more than 400 catties, more than double the yield per mu estimated by the Holy Majesty. If this news gets back, the Holy Majesty will be overjoyed, and maybe he will call Gu Su to Yanjing to meet the Holy Majesty.

The folk customs of the Dayong Dynasty were open, and the emperor had already fully controlled the government with iron and blood methods. He did not shy away from men and women, and did not value family background.

Except that women are not allowed to take scientific examinations, as long as they have the ability, they will be reused if they fall into his eyes.

For example, Dingbeihou’s daughter, Shangguan Niaoyou, grew up in the frontier since she was a child. She doesn’t like red makeup and prefers armed forces. At the age of 14, she followed Dingbeihou on the battlefield. During his stay in Beijing, he could go to court with all civil and military officials.

Or Lin Ye, the youngest daughter of Lin Sikong from the Bureau of Agricultural Affairs, inherited her father's business, and was very talented in improving crops.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin only felt that his throat was a little dry, and he couldn't express his feelings.

Probably in order to revive the Xiao family, he said that he heard chickens dance since he was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to hang a beam and stab his ass.

But this Gu Su family found a way to improve the soil quality from somewhere, reported it to Fang Shi, and then waved his hand, regardless of anything, the saline-alkaline land was really improved successfully, and wheat was grown.

Moreover, Fang Shi didn't take any credit, and he reported the truth to the court. In the end, Fang Shi was reinstated because of this, and Gu Su's family was also easily favored by the Holy One. I am afraid that there will be a bright future in the future.

Xiao Jin's throat rolled, and he looked at Su Mo next to him calmly, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Su Mo noticed the look in Xiao Jin's hand, and she just pretended not to know, looking at the sacks full of wheat, trying her best to restrain her emotions but couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin withdrew his gaze. He always felt that this Gu Su family gave him a very strange feeling, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Forget it, he has come to Luoshan Village many times, this Gu Su family has a certain degree of advance and retreat, and has never made a mistake...

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin's heart skipped a beat. That's right, he finally knew what was wrong.

This Gu Su family should not be underestimated!
Xiao Jin's breathing became short, and he suddenly remembered that when he visited the head of the Sanqing Academy, he met Xie Wenci, who was teaching at the village school in Luoshan Village.

Then Xie Wenci is the direct disciple of the head of the mountain, and he is indeed a real material, but his luck is not good, otherwise he would have been a Jinshi in high school.

And Na Xie Wenci once said that the village school in Luoshan Village accepted two gifted children, and they would take them to the head of the mountain when they had time.

One of them is called Gu Jinnian... It seems to be Gu Su's second son.

Xiao Jin's heartbeat became more and more chaotic, but his mind became more and more clear.

If his guess is correct, then he can guess based on the mentality of taking care of Su Shi and the information he has learned.

She was afraid that she had planned to go to Yanjing long ago, but all she did now was to pave the way to Yanjing...

The Gu family, an orphan and widowed mother, has no power, no power and no wealth, if they rush to Beijing, they will definitely end up in a mess.

But today's Gu family is different. For money, there is a thousand taels of silver rewarded by the Holy Majesty, and for power... there are methods to improve the soil quality. The Holy Majesty is the Gu family's backer.

Moreover, his son was accepted by Xie Wenci, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he was the master of Sanqing Academy.

If he is summoned to Beijing by the Holy Majesty in the future and settles in Yanjing, the population of this family is simple, so there is no need to worry about having troublesome relatives.

If the people in the same village are pretending to be powerful, they can see nothing at all, because the Gu family's favor from the village is nothing compared to Gu Su's giving the villagers of Luoshan Village land to plant.
