farming female castellan

Chapter 316
"Then continue to develop." The emperor was very straightforward.

The cotton harvest in Changping Township has been bumper.Chen Fan asked each family to send one person to gather and learn to pick cotton from the tenant farmers who had planted cotton.

It is the first time for the villagers to grow cotton by themselves, and it is strange to see those fluffy white flowers.Many people pick and pinch one flower as if they were playing, and even tugged it in their hands.

Someone said generously: "My family will make a few more quilts this year to ensure that everyone can get a quilt."

"My house is the same. I also need to tuck the cotton into my clothes to make it warmer."

The sharecroppers began to teach everyone how to pick cotton, how to deal with it, and how to dry it.After learning almost, every household began to harvest cotton.

Qi Lizheng came over to report: "This batch of cotton is well planted, ranging from [-] to [-] catties. I heard that there are six to seven hundred catties in the sandy soil."

Chen Fan nodded: "The difference of one hundred catties is also obvious, have you asked why?"

"Some are due to improper watering, and some may be due to soil quality." Lizheng is not very clear.

Chen Fan said: "The soil for cotton planting should not be too sticky. It should have coarse grains and good water permeability. Apply some green manure to improve the soil quality, and pine needles are also good. Next year, remember to plow deeply and apply sufficient fertilizer."

What is more exciting than the harvest news is that the relief workers from Changping Township are finally coming back.Chen Fan and Zhang Ci led the people from the Xiangjun Mansion to greet him on the embankment in person, and many people also surrounded him.

The big ship approached slowly, the sound of gongs and drums on the shore, and the crackling of firecrackers kept ringing.

The three of Mo Jian came out first, and their strong figures immediately reassured the people, believing that their relatives could also come out so strong.

Next came the villagers, who walked down the deck in a line, and there were constant cheers from the shore, all calling their names.

They were all surrounded by their respective family members. They touched and looked at them from top to bottom, and after confirming that they were all right, they hugged and cried excitedly.

The scholars were the last ones, looking very calm.But their family members were not calm, crying and laughing while holding them.

The parents of Chen Jian and Wu Qisheng also came, holding their son with tears in their eyes.

There are also people in the Liu family.Chen Jian saw Liu Huaishan and smiled.

When everyone had vented their emotions, Mo Jian raised his hand, and the scene gradually became quiet.

Chen Fan smiled all over his face and said loudly: "Welcome all the disaster relief heroes to return safely!"

"Back in peace!" the crowd shouted in unison.

Relief workers lined up.Chen Fan asked them: "Have you received all the disaster relief subsidies?"

"I got it! Thank you Mr. Xiang!" Everyone replied loudly.

This time I went out for disaster relief, the subsidy given by the Xiangjun Mansion was [-] Wen per person per day, and the road subsidy was [-] Wen per person per day.On the return journey, they can receive subsidies on board.

Chen Fan said: "This disaster relief, you all performed very well. You are not afraid of death, hardship, or tiredness. Especially Yu Jinbao, who is brave and careful in the face of villains, and timely warns, protects himself and protects everyone. The Xiangjun Mansion will reward you!"

The crowd cheered and cast admiring glances at them.

A group of people walked over carrying watermelons, and everyone stepped aside to look at the watermelons eagerly.

"Everyone will be rewarded with a watermelon!" Chen Fan announced loudly.

"Oh—" There was a tsunami on the embankment, it was a watermelon, and there were [-] watermelons sold in the capital.

Except for the guard who looked calm, the other relief workers all grinned.Qin Zheng announced a name, Zhang Ci handed out a watermelon, and the crowd cheered.Countless eyes swept over those watermelons, they all looked similar, and the selection was really well-proportioned.

Yu Jinbao was the last one, and his watermelon was one size bigger.The cheers on the field became louder.

Zhang Ci warned: "Everyone must hold the watermelon well, otherwise you won't be able to eat it if you drop it on the ground."

Those people immediately embraced the watermelon in their arms.

Zhang Ci pointed to a row of ox carts under the river embankment and said: "Today we have arranged ox carts for everyone to take all the strong men back to the village."

The cheers of the audience were like a tsunami.

The villagers of Qijiadu were very polite: "We are very close, just walk back. Give the bullock cart to those who are far away."

The two people from Kaiyun Village also stated: "We are also close, we can walk."

Zhang Ci smiled lightly: "Sit on the way, you're welcome."

Chen Fan turned around, and the villagers scattered in groups of three and four.There are many people who want to hug the watermelon, but they dare not fight for it. Only after they have agreed on who will hug it, they dare to take the watermelon carefully.

A group of people walked back to Xiangjun's mansion.

Chen Jian talked to his parents, walked up to Mr. Liu Er and his wife, and bowed: "I have seen my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and my son-in-law has returned safely."

The Liu family and his wife are a little embarrassed, calling their father-in-law and mother-in-law so early?

Wu Qisheng coaxed: "Brother Chen, is his mouth smeared with honey? The two elders are almost sweet to the heart."

Chen Jian blushed and glared at Wu Qisheng.

He looked at Liu Huaishan again and saluted, but his lips moved and he couldn't hear a sound.

Wu Qisheng opened his mouth and wanted to tease, but Wu Xiancheng took a look and closed his mouth.

Liu Huaishan returned the gift and said, "It is the greatest joy that you can return safely. Everyone can feel at ease."

Everyone sat down to catch up.

Zhang Ci said: "Mr. Chen and Mr. Wu care about the people and have outstanding abilities. They performed very well in this disaster relief. They will be officials in high school in the future, and they will definitely be good officials who will benefit one side."

The Chen family and the Wu family all smiled and said a few words of humility.

Zhang Ci looked at Chen and Wu, and said: "You have worked so hard for so long, and you should take a few more days of rest, but the state exam is just around the corner, so you can only take a day off tomorrow and go back to the academy the day after tomorrow."

Wu Xiancheng nodded again and again: "We must hurry up."

Wu Qisheng wanted to prove his hard work: "Brother Chen and I discuss homework every day, and we never slack off on the boat or on the mountain."

Zhang Ci nodded: "The most important thing is to combine policy theory with reality. This time, you have personally experienced disaster relief, and with deep feelings, the article will be more meaningful."

The Chen and Wu families grinned again.

Everyone chatted lively, had dinner, and after returning to the guest house, the two families asked them about their experiences in Xianchun County in detail.

Chen Jian went out of the courtyard, wanting to find Liu Huaishan, but stood outside the courtyard door but was embarrassed to knock on the door.

Yan Qiong walked over with a smile: "Do you need me to invite Miss Liu out?"

Chen Jian scratched his head in embarrassment.

Yan Qiong flew into the courtyard, knocked on the door, and said something to the maid who opened the door.Not long after, Liu Huaishan followed her out.

Chen Jian doesn't know how to do light work, so he can only take Huaishan for a walk.

Wu Xiancheng looked at his son: "I heard that Mr. Cui has been away for a long time?"

Wu Qisheng nodded: "Young Master Zhang said he went to the capital."

Wu Xiancheng was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He told his son to study hard and try to pass the state examination.

Qi Wenyao smiled: "My son doesn't need to be under pressure. You are only 17 years old, and you will be 20 years old in three years. It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam this time, just take it as an experience."

"Mother, you have to trust me. Mr. Zhang said that I have solid knowledge and well-written articles. I am very hopeful that I will pass the state examination."

Qi Wenyao didn't take it seriously: "That's only the state test. I don't know if you can pass the provincial test next year. Mr. Zhang is comforting you."

Wu Qisheng wanted to say something, but held back.What you say now is empty, and it is true if you pass the exam.

After talking about exams, the unavoidable topic of urging marriage came up again.

Qi Wenyao looked at her son with a smile: "What do you think of Miss Chen Yue?"
