After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Jiang's cotton has finally been harvested.

Zhao Da’s child is also completely healed. Jiang Sanlang was very satisfied with Zhao Da’s helper, so he gave him a handful of gourd seeds and asked him if he would like to stay and work. After all, thousands of catties of cotton still have to be peeled. many.

Zhao Da originally wanted to stay, but now is the busy farming season, the beans and rice at home have to be harvested, and after harvesting, he has to plow the land to plant wheat. After the wheat is planted, the grain is sold, the grain is paid and the tax is paid, he will have time to do it again. other.

Jiang Sanlang knew his embarrassment and didn't force it.

In the following days, the adults and children of the Jiang family joined the battle and began to peel cottonseeds.

Chunniang and her two sisters-in-law spun thread on a spinning wheel, preparing for weaving in winter.

Not long after, Wu Shi, the county magistrate, came.

Accompanying him were Mr. Liao, two scribes and more than a dozen yamen servants.

The presence of the county magistrate caused a sensation in the entire East and West Chen villages, and Sun Lizheng, Chen Sanyou, the head of the Chen clan, and the village officials from several surrounding villages even accompanied the whole process.

Among them, the most exciting one is Ying Bao.

"Uncle Wu, you are finally here, come and see the big gourd I left for you."

Ying Bao grabbed Wu Shi's sleeve and led him to his main room, where he saw three huge gourds in two big frames against the wall.

Wu Shi was also surprised.

To be honest, he had never seen such a huge gourd.

But surprise is surprise, I don't seem to have told this little girl that I like gourds.

I don't know where this little girl learned that she likes this thing, so she insisted on giving it to him, alas, what a helplessness.

Ying Bao proudly said: "Uncle Wu, look at the gourds I planted. When you go back, take two back."

Wu Shi laughed, "How can I take your stuff for nothing, why don't you make a price and I'll pay for it."

"No, no, it's worthless." When Ying Bao said this against her will, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Quan, who was hiding behind, gritting her teeth.

Patriarch Chen also smiled and agreed: "There are many such gourds in our village. Mingfu, please don't refuse. It's just a child's kindness."

Sun Li, who was standing next to him, was looking at him, wondering whether Patriarch Chen's words were true. His son who was doing business in the county had long wanted a gourd king as a signboard.

"Hehe, then respect is worse than obedience." Wu Shi only wanted a giant gourd, and asked the servants to carry it to the carriage, but Yingbao carried another one to the carriage for the younger one.

After that, Wu Shi went to see the large pile of cotton harvested by Jiang's family.

The snow-white cotton hadn't been seeded yet, and they were all piled up in one room, filling the room to the brim.

Wu Shi grabbed a ball of cotton, looked at it, and sighed: "This cotton is really good, Jiang Sanlang, can you sell the cotton seeds to the county government?"

Before Jiang Sanlang could speak, Sun Li was in a hurry, and stepped forward and said: "Mingfu, there are many households in our village who are waiting to buy cottonseed, you can't..." Buy them all.

The other villages also looked anxious, but they didn't dare to interrupt.

Wu Shi said with a smile: "I just want to distribute the cottonseed after the purchase, so you don't have to worry about it, Mrs. Sun."

"Hehehe, that's how it is." Sun Lizheng smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Sanlang: "My elder brother and second elder brother also harvested a lot of cotton, and other families in our village also planted it. They should also have a lot of cotton seeds."

He said this for no other purpose than to tell Sun Lizheng that there was no shortage of cotton seeds.

Wu Shi thought for a while and said, "Well, let your village give priority to cotton planting, and the remaining cotton seeds will be sold to the county government."

This thing is precious, if I don't intervene, I'm afraid there will be a big family to buy it at a high price soon.

In this way, the cotton will flow to the nobles again, and ordinary people will not be able to popularize it.

What he wanted was to grow cotton throughout the county, not for those noble families to dominate.

Chen Sanyou was overjoyed when he heard it, and hurried forward and said, "There are 28 households in our village, and they have all decided that next year each household will plant [-] mu of cotton."

If calculated on the basis of ten catties of cotton seeds per mu of land, their village would need more than 5000 catties of cotton seeds.No, it actually costs 20 catties, because there are more than [-] households in the East Village, but half of them are actually separated.

Chen Sanyou was annoyed at his quick talk, saying that there were only 28 households in the village, so he heard Jiang Sanlang say: "Every household in our village will plant cotton seeds, and it is estimated that [-] catties of cotton seeds will be needed, and the rest will be handed over to the senior officials. "

Wu Shi nodded in satisfaction, and asked the scribes around him to count the cotton harvest in East Village.

While they were discussing things, Yingbao went to pick grapes by herself.

Jiang Quan followed and complained in a low voice: "Why do you say gourds are worthless? Then how can we sell gourds in the future?"

"stupid!"

Yingbao said: "Our gourds are sold to people from other villages, who in this village will buy them? If I say gourds are valuable, will you still be able to buy gourds in the village after our gourds are sold out?"

Jiang Quan suddenly realized, he laughed and said, "Bao'er is still the smartest."

"That's right." Ying Bao said without any shyness, "I'm a unique little fairy boy."

"Hahaha, that's right, you are a unique little fairy boy." Jiang Quan had already gotten used to the thick skin of his little cousin, and felt that what she said made sense.

The children followed Yingbao to pick pears and grapes, and ate them as they picked, the grape skins spit out all over the floor.

Yingbao carried grapes in a bamboo basket and picked a basket of red and purple grapes.

It's a pity that the peaches are all eaten, otherwise I would pick some for Wu Daozi to taste.

In this wave of picking, there are not many grapes left, and there are still a few unripe pears in the middle of the tree.

Yingbao plans to transplant the newly bred grape seedlings and pepper seedlings and pepper seedlings in the cave to expand his orchard by another circle when the spring begins next year.By the way, there are also apple seedlings.

This year, the apple tree produced a few apples. A while ago, Yingbao plucked them for her family to eat. She kept the apple seeds and planted them in the cave.

"Yingbao, the basket is heavy, let me carry it for you." Chuchu took the bamboo basket from Yingbao's hand.

She claims to be Yingbao's little helper, and she refuses to go home no matter what, even though her family's life is much easier now.

Since the last time Yingbao sent the fungus to her family, after two breedings, Chu Yan has planted [-] golden ears. As long as these [-] golden ears are harvested and sold, the life of Chuchu's family will be able to improve by leaps and bounds.

But Chuchu just wants to stay here, take the time to learn how to read and write with Yingbao, and play with Dani Erni in her spare time, which is very pleasant.

She also let Ying Bao go, asked her to do some work for herself every day, and still gave her three pennies a month.

Not to mention, with Chuchu accompanying her daughter, Chunniang felt relieved that her daughter ran around every day, and sometimes allowed them to go shopping in the town. Of course, at this time, either Jiang Quan or Jiang Cheng would accompany her. .

"Yingbao, why aren't you afraid of the officials of the Ming Palace?" Chu Chu asked curiously.

As soon as she saw the county magistrates and officials who were so full of stars, she felt her calf tremble, she didn't even dare to look directly into her eyes, how could she dare to chat with them.

Yingbao: "Why are you afraid?"

Even in her previous life, she was never afraid of anyone, even those governor's subordinates whose hands were stained with blood, as long as they dared to offend her, she would hit them with anything and smash them so that they would run away, and dare not provoke them again.
