Villager of Daming

Chapter 37 The Chief Exposes He Knows Experts (Part [-])
Three days is three days, and when the three days are up, a large group of officials arrives in the early morning.

The magistrates, fellow magistrates, etc. all came by boat, and it seems that they set off at night.

The three boats docked by the river in the village, everyone disembarked, and the head of the village greeted them a little nervously.

The prefect's grade is too high, he has only seen it twice.

Zhu Wentian followed at the side at the request of the district chief, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on to the situation.

Zhu Wentian didn't have any special feelings, with a naive smile on his face, isn't he just a prefect!
It's not that I haven't seen officials of the same level, those officials have never stared at me.

Don't look at changing dynasties right now, but Lao Zhu is very strong, and it's ruthless to clean up officials!
The key to peeling real grass is whether to peel it dead or start peeling it slowly when it is alive.

The 6000 yuan soap is not packaged, separated by raw paper, and shipped in a bamboo box.

The soap must be sent to Nanjing immediately, together with the inscription from the prefect of Song Dynasty and a private letter to the prince.

The officials began to exchange pleasantries with the head of the village when the soap-carrying boat left.

The head of the village accompanied him to look at the village's crops and new fields, including the location of the livestock.

Zhu Wentian held a piece of beef jerky in his hand, and he put it in his mouth to bite it from time to time, and it flowed out.

Song Zhifu had many silk handkerchiefs in his hands, ready to wipe the saliva of the village guards at all times.

He didn't dare to dislike and humiliate the village guards. The village could tie him up and send him to Nanjing.

This is the power given by Zhu Yuanzhang. Regardless of whether there is a misunderstanding in the end, the officials who are tied up will never want to be officials again.

"Take it easy, prefect Song, take it easy, it hurts if you rub it hard."

The village chief who was still nervous just now saw the magistrate wiping Hanhan's saliva, as if his face was flushed, and quickly reminded him.

"Okay, okay, he moved just now, no, I didn't pay attention."

Song Zhifu took the responsibility on himself, isn't it normal for a fool to move?Does it match you?
"I'll come, I'll come, Hanhan, go back and make you beef with sauce, can you give me the dried beef first?"

Li Chang made a promise, and reached out for dried meat.

There was a struggling look on his silly face, and finally he lowered his head slightly, and handed over the jerky: "Okay, ah! Sauce, meat, hehehehe!"

After he finished speaking, he still grabbed Lichang's hand and rubbed his mouth on the other's sleeve.

Chief: "..."

"Simple and simple!" Li Zhixian helped to boast.

Hearing him say the word Hanhan, Zhu Wentian turned his head to him in cooperation: "Hmm! Hanhan, heh heh heh!"

"Prefect, what you see in front of you is the interplanting of rice and jute."

Li Zhixian nodded to him, quickly changed the subject, and pointed at Tian.

Song Zhifu took a few steps to look at the crops: "I thought that hemp would compete with rice for fertilizer, but I never thought that rice would grow better."

Tongzhi echoed: "It is indeed stronger than ordinary seedlings in rice fields, but it is a pity that it is jute, so it cannot be made into clothes."

The head of the village immediately introduced: "It is not suitable to plant ramie at the same time as rice. Ramie must be planted in late autumn for winter or late spring."

"So that's how it is. Yichang thought carefully, but someone gave advice?" Tongzhi asked casually.

"I was thinking about it myself, because there were a few jute plants growing in the paddy field last year, and it looked good, so I gave it a try."

The head of the village claimed to have come up with the idea himself, and Hanhan must not reveal it.

Everyone walked carefully on the ridge, the water was still flowing, and they accidentally stepped on it, and their feet were muddy.

Planting rice is such a hassle. We have to check the water every day, and it cannot be stagnant water.

The water diversion channel has a small opening at each field grid, and the field grid has a small water outlet.

When the paddy field is plowed and divided, the height and order are guaranteed, and it is not flat, which will accumulate water.

The same as the bathroom, in the end all the water will flow down the drain.

Including other crop fields that need to be irrigated in furrows, there must be a slope.

The officials in the mansion took it seriously, but they were not just pretending, and no one laid out the carpet for them.

Mud soon appeared on the official's boots. Some officials took off their boots and tube socks after seeking permission from the village chief, and went into the field more than ten meters away to pull out two plants of rice and jute.

He wants to take it back and compare it with rice and jute in other fields. If it is good, it will be promoted next year.

Walking past the paddy field is a cotton field. Xiaqiu Village does not separate households, and all planting is centralized to facilitate management.

Cotton fields have doubled in size, and hemp is no longer grown alone.

"Your cotton grows better than other places, and you can tell it at a glance." The official who just entered the water commented.

Li Zhixian spoke from the side: "The cotton field in Xiaqiu Village has silt dredged from the river last year."

"This will make the cotton grow well? Oh!" The official seemed to understand.

The village chief didn't want the other party to learn from the practice, so he hurriedly said: "Cotton in the village is planted by transplanting seedlings, not sowing. We use three parts of boiling water and one part of cold water to soak the seeds, and then mix it with plant ash."

Everyone heard the words and looked at each other in blank dismay. Is the operation so detailed?
Song Zhifu pointed to the paddy fields in the distance: "Like planting rice, grow seedlings first?"

"Yes, the seeds must be mature before they can be soaked like that, otherwise it will be over." The chief added.

"It's over, hehehe!" Zhu Wentian didn't make a sound for a long time, brushing off his sense of presence.

A fool has to look like a fool, silence does not mean stupid.

"Yichang, Yichang, you write it down later, this is very important!" Li Zhixian said on behalf of everyone.

"Okay, actually I'm thinking of a better way, and I'll try it next year."

The head of the village agreed, the good method he said was suggested by Han Han.

Zhu Wentian plans to find time this year to produce copper sulfate, and then mix it with lime to make Bordeaux mixture.

Thinking about mixing other pesticides, the simpler the steps, the better, the lower the preparation conditions, the better, and it is easy to promote.

The officials confirmed again that there is an expert hiding in Xiaqiu Village, otherwise you, Zhu Yichang, would like to know this?What did you do before?
The officials who pulled out rice and jute pulled out two more cotton plants, and the cotton can be harvested one after another for a while.

He grabbed the soil to cover the roots, and wrapped them with the hem of his clothes.

Leaving the cotton field and entering the vegetable field, the vegetables in the village are better than other places.

The head of the village continued to introduce, some sprayed diluted lime water, some sprayed grass and wood ash water, and some soaked Ailanthus in water to kill the worms.

The officials looked at the chief with such eyes while listening, "You are capable, why are you so capable?"You know a lot!

We are now asking you to be an agricultural officer, do you dare to take up the post?You are exposed, you know too much.

'Crack! 'A crisp voice sounded, and everyone looked over.

Zhu Wentian plucked a cucumber, the thorns hadn't been rubbed off yet, and he bit the top flower.

"Spit, Hanhan, spit, there are flowers." The head of the village grabbed the cucumber and helped rub the thorns, making Hanhan vomit.

"Pit, spit~~poof, hehehehe..."

Zhu Wentian vomited it out, he didn't want to eat that flower either, it was a bit bitter.

"Hey, how many times have I told you that you have to rub it before eating. I didn't scold you, so don't make a bitter face. Eat it, eat beef with sauce at noon."

The head of the village returned the cucumber to Hanhan, coaxing him.

"Meat, hum!" Zhu Wentian took the cucumber and chewed it.

Everyone seemed to understand in an instant why the expert chose Xiaqiu Village.

Look at the appearance of the chief, he looks after the fool like a good son, and the villagers in the whole village are like this.

The village guards are raised so strong and their clothes are clean.

If I have the ability and want to help a village, when choosing a village, I will also choose Xiaqiu Village.

Not to mention that he threatened to repay favors, at least the village would not repay favors.
