Chapter 30 Harvest
"May I ask Your Majesty, what is this?" Song Yingxing looked at the strange thing in front of him and asked.

"It's a spinning machine that spins eight threads simultaneously."

"Eight?!"

"."

Didn't you say that you've learned it and come here to pretend to be aggressive? What do you mean by throwing me a spinning machine again?Also spinning eight threads at a time, can such a small thing spin eight threads at a time?
Zhu Youjian looked at Song Yingxing's disbelief, and was taken aback for a moment.My credit rating has dropped?Immediately understood.

"Ahem~ Dean Song, this is a model. It cannot be actually used for production."

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Although it's a model, can't you use it by enlarging him?"

well?Seems like that?
"Can I have a look?"

"Look."

After getting permission, Song Yingxing squatted on the ground and began to study, touching and tapping.

Good stuff, just a little small.

"Can it be done?"

"can!"

"Take it away, and come see me after you make it!"

".I retire."

Song Yingxing came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.

first day of may
The Dragon Boat Festival has begun in the palace.

Shooting willows, riding hussars, rowing dragon boats, enjoying flowers, drinking wine and eating rice dumplings, a series of activities are fully arranged.

Zhu Youjian was a little uninterested because he had one thing in mind.

It's time for the wheat to be harvested.

On this day, he brought a group of people to Shunyi Huangzhuang again.

As soon as you leave the capital, you can see the endless wheat fields. Occasionally, when the wind blows, the ears of wheat sway gently with the breeze, forming waves of wheat.

Along the way, there are farmers bending over to cut wheat, raising their heads from time to time to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.On the ground, there are children of all ages playing happily. From their superficial knowledge, they already know that a good harvest is a big event.

The village where Zhang Dahai came this time was very different from the past. The men, women, old and young who had stayed indoors in the winter all walked out of their houses and walked to the fields.Zhang Erhu, who was knitting a straw hat with dog tail straw, saw Zhu Youjian's carriage from a distance. When he saw Li Xiaohua, who jumped out of the carriage first, he jumped up in excitement and ran towards the carriage quickly.Then he knelt down towards Zhu Youjian again.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian smiled and asked him to get up.

"Where's your father?"

"My parents and my sister are cutting wheat in the field." After speaking, he turned his eyes to Li Xiaohua who was at the side.

"Cao Huachun, how is the harvest of Huangzhuang this year?"

"Long live your Majesty, the harvest has just begun, and we won't know the harvest until it is finished and threshed into millet. However, this year's wheat seeds are a gift from God. Taizu is grateful for your majesty's kindness, and the harvest will definitely be much higher than in previous years."

"Then thresh on the spot, and cut the wheat from Zhang Dahai's field. I want to know how much the yield per mu is."

"Yes, slaves obey."

After speaking, arrange for people to measure the land, harvest, and thresh.

After the weighing was over, the people who weighed looked at each other in blank dismay.One of them ran up to Cao Huachun quickly and whispered something in his ear.

"what?"

After speaking, Cao Huachun ran to look at the pile of grain that had been hit, and ran to Zhu Youjian who was standing under the tree to enjoy the cool air, shouting in surprise.

"Long live! Auspicious! Zhang Dahai's family's land yields five stones, three buckets and six liters of wheat!"

"Five stones, three buckets and six liters."

Zhu Youjian calculated silently in his heart, and it was about seven hundred catties.

Not high.

However, compared with the previous output of more than two stones, it is already considered a miracle. Didn’t you see that Cao Huachun shouted it was auspicious?
After thinking about it, he said to Cao Huachun:
"Organize people to harvest as soon as possible, and report all the output of Huangzhuang to me."

"Yes!" After hesitating for a moment, Cao Huachun asked. "Then the tenants will hand over their money this year."

The tenant farmers would keep one stone per acre and turn over the rest.

"Yes!"

One stone weighs about 150 kilograms. Taking the ten acres of land cultivated by Zhang Dahai as an example, his family can keep [-] kilograms of grain.It doesn’t sound like much, but at least it ensures you don’t go hungry.At present, Shaanxi is severely short of supplies, and he has to be prepared to provide support when necessary.Furthermore, this is just the output of wheat in one season, and there will be corn next.

When Cao Huachun walked away, Zhu Youjian said to Wang Chengen expressionlessly:
"Wang Banban, order to go down and make people from the two factories watch. Anyone who deducts tenant farmers' rations or makes false reports will be arrested and their homes will be ransacked. I want them to know what they shouldn't take. If they move, they will be punished." die!"

"Yes!"

Wang Chengen felt a chill running down his spine.His Majesty is never stingy with the people around him, but he also doesn’t rub sand in his eyes.You can take whatever he is willing to give, but you can take whatever he wants without his consent.It's time to weigh your own head.

This time, the two factories were asked to do errands, and I don't know how many people have landed.

I hope you are all wiser.

When Zhang Erhu came back from Huangzhuang, tears were about to fall.After chasing after the carriage for a long time, the expression seemed to say: Xiaohua!You can't go, little flower!How can I live without you, Xiaohua!

Zhu Youjian put down the curtain of the carriage, smiled and said to Li Xiaohua:
"Xiaohua, you see that Erhu is reluctant to let you go. Do you like to play with him?"

"I don't like him, stupid."

"Ha ha!"

I don't know what Zhang Erhu felt when he heard this.

But having said that, Zhu Youjian did consider what Li Xiaohua should do.Staying in the palace all the time won't do her any good.

Forget it, let's talk about it later, I'm still young.

A few days later, Zhu Youjian received the total harvest of Huangzhuang according to Cao Huachun's statistics.

共计一千210三万三千160石七斗六升,除去佃农的260八万四千零32石,净余940四万九千120八石七斗六升。

"Is the number accurate?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the servant has checked before coming. It's not bad at all."

"Oh? Then look at Cao's palm print and see what this is."

As he spoke, he threw a notebook in front of Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun heard Zhu Youjian's cold tone, and tremblingly bowed to pick up the booklet on the ground.

Changping Huangzhuang Liu Danian deducted 360 shi from his tenants' rations and concealed an output of [-] shi.
Wu Haiping of Huangzhuang, Shunyi, deducted 810 five shi from tenants' rations and concealed an output of [-] shi.
Liu Fang of Huangzhuang in Shunyi deducted rations from his tenants
"Slaves deserve to die! Slaves deserve to die! Long live, please spare me!"

Cao Huachun was scared to death.It is true that these people are his subordinates, and it is true that they are usually very filial.But he really didn't know about these things, or he didn't expect them to be so serious.I told them to be careful a long time ago. His Majesty is careful, but now he has put himself in trouble!
"Cao's palm seal? How should these people be dealt with?"

"Confiscation of the house! Exile! The servant must settle this matter!" Cao Huachun said through gritted teeth.

"You still want to do it? Is there no two factories or Jinyiwei? That trivial filial piety makes you dizzy, don't know why? Huh?"

"Slaves deserve to die."

It’s over, how come your Majesty knows everything.

"Go away, get twenty big boards yourself!"

Zhu Youjian's last sentence was like a fairy sound to Cao Huachun, and he was safe for the time being.

"Thank you for your kindness!"
