The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 117 Spring Ploughing

When people who had bought millet seeds heard the news, they beat their chests in anger.

"The county magistrate originally said he would pay in advance, but now he won't pay. If I had known the price, I might as well have gone to another county to buy it!"

It is impossible to spend more money, so most people choose to change corn seeds.

He Jin chatted with them a few more words while they were changing corn seeds.Tell them that the yield of corn per acre can reach one thousand catties. If they don’t know how to grow it, they can ask Li Zheng to come over and learn.

Some people were very happy when they heard that corn could produce a thousand pounds per acre, and they wished they could push Li Zheng over now.

They also asked: "Some people don't have money to buy corn seeds. Maybe they owe it on credit?"

He Jin nodded, "You can pay on credit. When the corn is harvested, you can pay back as much corn seed as you take away."

They wondered: "Then you are working in vain and can't make any money?"

"Do you need money to grow your grain?"

Shen Yanle said: "Zheng Sinong sent people to collect corn seeds in Jiangzhou and Qingzhou. The people there heard that it was going to be promoted to other states and counties. They kept enough rations and grain seeds at home, and the rest were pushed to other counties without receiving a penny. Sinong Temple. They said they were full, but there were still people who were hungry, and such good things should be grown elsewhere."

He Jin answered, "People from the two states donated corn seeds, and Zheng Sinong took some from his own granary, so we have these grain seeds. This is the first year. It is just for breeding, not for making money. Grain seeds The quantity is limited and will not be given to the powerful gentry, but only to the poor."

The people said happily: "So, we really want to thank Zheng Sinong and the people in those two states."

There are also many people who doubt, "Can this corn really produce a thousand catties per mu?"

He Jin vowed, "As long as you plant according to the method I teach, you will definitely be able to do it."

"I originally searched for the county magistrate and wanted him to summon Li Zheng to come to the county government office. We will teach Li Zheng, and Li Zheng will teach you. But for some reason, the magistrate always shirks his duties."

He also fanned the flames, "I came from the capital and saw that the price of millet seeds in other counties was much cheaper than in our county. Why did our county increase the price again?"

The people made a trip to the county town in vain to change corn seeds, and they were not willing to swallow this sigh of relief.After hearing what he said, someone cursed: "Who knows what kind of evil that dog official is holding back!"

Wei Zichang's people pretended to be villagers and guided him, "It's probably because the court originally allocated funds that he dared to say that he would advance the money. Now this money should have been embezzled by this bad official."

Everyone can see what the magistrate does on weekdays. Now that they heard that the magistrate might have embezzled the government funds, they all believed it.

"It must be so!"

"It makes sense!"

Therefore, the people who came to exchange food were divided into two groups. One group went back to the village to find He Jin and Shen Yan, and the other group surrounded the gate of the county government office.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and they did not dare to do too much.But blocking the entrance of the county government office and shouting curses is what they are very good at.

"Bah! Dog Officer, he said he would pay for the grain in advance, but now he doesn't pay in advance, causing me to come to the county town twice!"

"How could you, a dog official, be so kind as to advance the money for grain cultivation? Is it money allocated by the court? Now you have embezzled it!"

"Yes, it must be like this!" "You are a bastard that is worse than a pig or a dog. You even dare to embezzle money allocated by the imperial court!"

The magistrate hid inside, foaming at the corners of his mouth with anger, "The slander is simply nonsense. When did I say that I would advance part of the money, and how did I ever embezzle money from the court!"

He paced around anxiously, "Come here, drive away those unruly people!"

The few officials he summoned went out with sad faces. As soon as they arrived at the door, they were called petty names and cursed.

"Gou Sheng'er, what are you doing with a knife? I changed your diapers for you when you were a child, and now you want to chop me with a knife, right?"

The official whose nickname was Gou Sheng quickly took the knife back and said, "Auntie, how dare I do that? I'm just afraid that you're tired, and I want you to go home and rest."

The old woman waved her hand, "I'm not tired, I still have to scold this dog official! We are really nothing. If our flesh and blood were worth anything, he would definitely sell us!"

An old man twisted an official's ear, kicked him and said, "Go home quickly, not in this fish and meat town."

They could not be persuaded but could not be persuaded, but they did not dare to fight. These officials were in a dilemma, so they simply hid and had some leisure time.

Another wave of villagers returned to the village and quickly looked for Li Zheng, urging him to learn how to grow corn.Li Zheng might not care if someone talks alone.But people from half the village gathered around his door. If he ignored them, it would be different.

After some people returned to the village, they reminded other people who had not changed the corn seeds. They spread the word to ten people and hundreds of people. Everyone knew that the Holy Spirit sent people to teach how to grow corn, and they could produce thousands of catties per mu.Now, everyone came over to urge the village to be upright.

He Jin and Shen Yan sent people to guard here. They had to go back to the village to teach the Li Zhengmen who came after hearing the news.

If you directly tell the people that corn has a high yield and ask them to learn to grow corn, many people will not believe it.If the common people only have corn seeds on hand and hear that corn has a high yield, they will have nothing if they don’t believe it. But if they believe it, they still have hope.

The same is true when talking to Li Zheng now. If they directly come up with the imperial edict and say that they were sent by the Holy Spirit, some people in Li Zheng will be dissatisfied.But now that they have been beaten by the villagers and have no other choice, and have seen the imperial edict with their own eyes, their attitude is more humble.

He Jin first showed them how to sow seeds. Sowing seeds is very easy, just bury the seeds in the ground and you can take a quick look at them.

He Jin said: "After that, there will be fertilization, watering, weeding, and seedling repair. You all listen to my explanation. When it is time to do these, I will send someone to inform you. I would also like to trouble you to inform the villagers again."

Some of the things mentioned later were learned quickly by Zheng, while others were learned slowly. He Jin took the trouble to teach them a second and third time.

Without He Jin and Shen Yan's instructions, as soon as Li Zheng returned to the village, people flocked to him.They are anxious to learn how to sow so as not to delay spring plowing.

It was still night, but the moon was shining brightly, and Li Zheng taught others all night.

At the end of the night, Li Zheng's body couldn't bear it.Subsequently, the method of "soldiers teaching soldiers" was adopted. Whoever learned it would teach others.

This method is more efficient. If one person knows it, he can teach ten people, and if ten people know it, he can teach a hundred people.

Within half a month, corn has been planted in many places in Weishan County.There are three types of people who don't grow corn. One is the powerful squire who has no corn seeds, the other is the scoundrel who doesn't want to change crops and doesn't add money, and the third is the person who doesn't believe in any Jin or Shen Yan.

At this time, the letter sent by Wei Zichang to the capital also reached Zheng Qiuyun's hands.

In the past half month, Zheng Qiuyun has received letters from students one after another, reporting to her on the situation of spring plowing.They all encountered difficulties, but the situation in Weishan County was the most infuriating.
