The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 298

Thinking of this, Tang Mian took a long breath, returned to the room, immediately lay down on the bed, gently closed his eyes and entered the space.

The powerful people mentioned in the book failed again and again, and the experience and results that took decades to sum up were placed in front of her. She had no reason to give up, and she must succeed.

The days spent immersed in learning passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time to start planting wheat again.

Including the 30 acres bought last year, the family now has a total of 33 acres of dry land. Half of the land was left to dig a compost pit, and the rest was planted with wheat.

When harvesting wheat this year, the harvest per mu of land was 420 jins, and a total of 13,650 jins of wheat was harvested. After paying the tax, 8,700 jins were left, leaving one thousand jins, and the remaining seven All the seven hundred catties were sold, earning forty-six taels of silver.

Two kinds of grain can earn more than one hundred taels of silver every year.

Sometimes she would go into the mountains to collect herbs. Together with the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs that her father fed, the family's total annual income was more than two hundred taels.

If she collects valuable medicinal materials, she will earn more than this.

There is no need to worry about the expenses of the whole family.

After planting wheat and harvesting ratoon rice, Tang Mian had some free time to take a break.

As a result, her cousin told her that her brother-in-law asked her to go to the county government office the next day.

"Brother-in-law, did you ask me to come here because you wanted to tell me something?"

The next day, Tang Mian arrived at the county government office and asked Yu Mingzhi directly.

Yu Mingzhi nodded, "How is this year's regeneration rice harvest?"

He knew that the first harvest of rice was four hundred and ninety catties per mu of land.

Tang Mian was slightly startled, "Each acre of land weighs more than seventy kilograms."

"Okay." Yu Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction, "Sister, I mainly want to ask you, how much can the grain output increase?"

Tang Mian understood, so she just said that there was no need to call her over specifically because she was just asking about the harvest.

It's just a pity
"Brother-in-law, the current crop yield has almost reached its maximum."

Yu Mingzhi sighed sadly, and quickly asked: "In other words, if we improve the grain varieties, it is possible for the output to increase again?"

"That's right." Tang Mian nodded, "But it's a bit difficult. However, I plan to try it next year."

"Have you thought of a way?" Yu Mingzhi's eyes widened in an instant, staring at Tang Mian with vigour.

Tang Mian pondered for a moment and said, "I have a vague idea. I don't know whether it will succeed yet."

"Hahaha, as long as you have an idea, as long as you have an idea." Yu Mingzhi laughed, "In this way, next year I will send you the clerk from the yamen. After brainstorming, we may increase the chance of success."

"Okay." Tang Mian agreed readily. It would be best to have a few more experienced people discuss it together.

The smile on Yu Mingzhi's face continued, "In addition, I am going to write a report to you for credit on the new method of growing rice."

Tang Mian was stunned for a moment, "Didn't my brother-in-law say that?"

Yu Mingzhi raised his hand to interrupt Tang Mian's words and said: "According to the normal transfer order, I should have left Lu'an County last year. Now I can still stand here and have done a lot in the court. Therefore, I want to take advantage of the opportunity while I am still in Lu'an County. Report your contribution and arrange the follow-up matters.”

"Of course, even if I leave, the next person transferred to Lu'an County will only be ours."

"Okay." Tang Mian nodded slowly. In this way, she felt relieved.

The brother-in-law has been staying in Lu'an County, which has hindered his future.

Yu Shizhi smiled and said, "I'm going to let Yan Jin take the martial arts exam next year."

"What?" Tang Mian was stunned again.

Everything her brother-in-law said today surprised her more and more.

"Didn't my brother-in-law say that Yan Jin should go to the military camp next year?"

Yu Mingzhi shook his head, "The plan has changed. Whether you participate in the martial arts competition or not, if you can get a good ranking, at least your starting point will be higher."

Tang Mian nodded without much thought, "Yes, it's my brother-in-law's arrangement."

She believed that her brother-in-law would not harm their family.

Yu Mingzhi said, "There's something else I need to tell you."

Tang Mian raised his eyebrows in surprise, what else?

Yu Mingzhi stroked his beard with a bright smile, "A few days ago, Doctor Wu said that he had asked for a prescription for Yan Xiu, which would hopefully completely cure his disease."

"Really?" Tang Mian looked at Yu Mingzhi with great joy and couldn't believe it.

Yu Mingzhi nodded affirmatively.

"Great!"

Tang Mian was so excited that he almost shed tears, and his heart was sour.

Yan Xiu seems to have had nothing on the surface these past few years, but in his heart he is very envious of his brother, Maomao and the others.

"However, don't be too happy too early. Doctor Wu didn't give a definite answer." Although Yu Mingzhi couldn't bear to hit Tang Mian, he had to tell the truth.

"It's okay, it's okay." Tang Mian's eyes were slightly red, he waved his hand and said, "It's good to have hope."

"Brother-in-law, are you okay? I want to see Dr. Wu."

Yu Mingzhi nodded, "Go ahead."

Tang Mian responded, turned around, and went to Wu Yunsheng's small courtyard to ask about Lu Yanxiu's condition.

Indeed, as his brother-in-law said, Doctor Wu asked for a prescription and had already grabbed the medicine and sent it to Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu has been taking good care of his body over the years, and Doctor Wu said that the prescription is 70% sure to cure him.

As for where the prescription came from, Doctor Wu didn't say, and Tang Mian was too sensible to ask.

In order to thank Dr. Wu, Tang Mian took 500 taels of silver and spent some time wandering around the surrounding mountains for several days. He found four medicinal materials that were not available today and gave them to Dr. Wu for research.

Doctor Wu happily accepted the medicinal materials. The money came back with a stinky face.
