The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 65 Wheat Harvest
Sinong frowned, not liking what he said, and retorted: "You old man, you don't believe Miss Zheng. Did you know that I was shown two new farm tools today. With these two farm tools, all she had to say was What she came up with on her own is enough to leave her name in history."

He looked excited, "But Miss Zheng is not arrogant, impatient, or taking credit. She said she saw it from elsewhere. Anyway, I am convinced by her now."

Lu Yuan's old face turned red again, "Maybe she saw it from somewhere else and was afraid of being exposed."

"Hey!" Sinong stood up, "I can't make sense with you, old man. If the wheat yield per hectare next year reaches [-] jins, how about you go on a tour of the Muyuan River? If it's less than [-] jins, I'll go on a tour of the Muyuan River! How dare you? answer?"

Lu Yuan took a sip of his wine and said, "If the wheat yield is six hundred pounds per mu, the people of Qingzhou will not have to worry about food for generations. I would be willing to swim shirtless in the Muyuan River."

"Okay, then it's settled," Si Nong calmly sat down again, "One more thing, you can set up an agricultural school for me."

"Agriculture?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise: "What is agriculture?"

"I plan to write an agricultural book to promote Qingzhou's agricultural irrigation technology, terrace field experience and new agricultural tools. I will also recruit more teachers to teach students agricultural knowledge and let them innovate."

Lu Yuan disagreed, "If you study agriculture and can't take the imperial examination, what's the use of doing it?"

Sinong pointed at him, "Little old man, why are you so pedantic? The people don't have enough to eat, and you still want to let them take the imperial examination!"

Lu Yuan was so scolded that stars appeared in his eyes, so he could only accept it.

On the day when agricultural science was launched, Zheng Qiuyun gave Si Nong a book as a congratulatory gift.She removed the information in "Tiangong Kaiwu" that might reveal the dynasty and copied it again.The title of the book remains unchanged and the author is still Song Yingxing.

As if Sinong had found a treasure, he put the original book in the exhibition hall and only used the transcript to teach his students.

The wheat was watered twice. After the New Year, there was spring rain, which saved manpower for watering again.In May, the fields were covered with yellow and the growth was quite gratifying.

Sinong said that it has been raining recently and they have to dig ditches to prevent the wheat from being flooded.After being protected from the rain, the people discovered that some wheat had been eaten by birds. They were determined to keep their food and did not build any scarecrows. They simply moved into the fields and chased away the birds day and night.

Everyone is very busy.At one time it was, "Let's go, let's go, it's raining. Go and put some water in it." At another time, it was, "Go, little bird, go eat food from other places. Our food in Qingzhou is not delicious." There were also people. Go up the mountain and dig traps to guard against wild boars that may cause havoc.

If they didn't understand anything, they came to ask Zheng Qiuyun.Zheng Qiuyun didn't understand, so he checked the information and discussed with Si Nong. He was very busy.

This is my first year of farming and I have no experience.The wheat on the terraced fields was destroyed by wild boars, and the wheat on the flat fields was eaten by birds.In some houses, drainage was not done properly, and some wheat that was about to mature was drowned.

Qingzhou City was shrouded in gloom, and Lu Yuan, who thought Zheng Qiuyun was just talking nonsense, couldn't be happy either.He was also very distressed when he saw the food wasted in the fields.

In mid-May, Zheng Qiuyun asked everyone to harvest wheat.

Uncle Wang from Huangming County also planted wheat. He wielded a sickle to harvest the wheat, tied it into several bundles, and moved it to an open field for easy drying.

Li Mingzhu led the cow over. A rolling stone cylinder with a wooden frame was tied behind the cow.She shouted loudly: "Uncle Wang, I bought a Ludong for you, and I will also lend you this cow."

After Zheng Qiuyun left, the number of jade collectors in Huangming County increased.Li Mingzhu saved a sum of money and bought a cow and two pigeons. One was given to Uncle Wang, and the other was rented out to collect money.

Uncle Wang refused, and Li Mingzhu ran away. She stayed away and said, "Uncle Wang helped me when I was young. Now that I have grown up, I should help Uncle Wang. Otherwise, won't I become an ungrateful villain?" "

Uncle Wang accepted it with a smile.

After drying the grain, he asked the oxen to pull down the wheat grains. Finally, he tried to put the wheat grains into the hoard where millet had been stored, but found that it could not fit.In the past, one bin could hold all the millet, but now it takes two to hold the wheat grains. "Uncle Wang, do you want to sell your grain?" A young man came to collect the grain with a smile.

Uncle Wang put his hands on his hips, "It's really strange. In previous years, I borrowed food from your house, but this year you came to my house to buy food."

The young man smiled and said: "I want to do a small business."

Qingzhou had just experienced war and had been exempted from taxes for two years. Zheng Qiuyun encouraged them to sell their excess grain to Linjiang County, where garlic was grown.

Uncle Wang asked him, "Tell me the truth, how is other people's food this year? Why do I think there is a lot more than millet?"

"People who take good care of their crops can harvest [-] pounds from one acre of land."

Considering that there were no chemical fertilizers or pesticides at this time, Zheng Qiuyun only said that the yield per mu was [-] kilograms.Unexpectedly, the climatic conditions here are very suitable for wheat growth. Under the careful care of the people as if they were serving their ancestors, the wheat yield per mu can reach [-] kilograms.

Uncle Wang slapped his thigh and couldn't stop the smile on his face, "I, the people of Qingzhou, have encountered a god to save us!"

The young man also agreed, "Yes, now everyone is going to the state government office to thank Miss Zheng."

Uncle Wang has only heard of Zheng Qiuyun, but doesn’t know who he is.He was also grateful to Zheng Qiuyun, dug out half a bag of wheat, and hurried to the Yamen.

Along the way, I met many familiar people who carried food on their shoulders and wanted to give it to Zheng Qiuyun as a thank you gift.Speaking of this year's bumper harvest, everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

Passing by the Muyuan River, he was very surprised to see an old man standing shirtless on the bank.I heard from others that this is Lu Yuan, a doctor of Confucian classics.

Sinong stood by and watched, explaining to the people, "This old guy said that the wheat yield per mu could not reach [-] kilograms. Now everyone is talking about who won."

The people were so happy that they forgot their dignity for a moment and answered with a smile: "Sinong won!"

A man proudly said: "My land is fertile, and the yield per mu can reach [-] kilograms!"

Lu Yuan was shirtless and should have felt ashamed. Although he blushed a little, he felt very relaxed and happy.He said: "Miss Zheng is righteous, and Mr. Lu is convinced. Even if she loses, she is willing to do so."

With that said, he jumped into the Muyuan River.As soon as he jumped, several men also clamored to swim in the river.

"I am traveling with you, my lord."

At the corner of Zhuwu Street, there was a firecracker seller who was setting off a firecracker.The children didn't know what was happening, so the adults explained to them, "This year your stomachs will not growl." The children remembered the uncomfortable feeling of being hungry. When they heard that their stomachs would not growl this year, they all clapped their hands and laughed.

Zheng Qiuyun did everything out of his heart and never thought of anything in return.As a result, the gate of the state government office was surrounded by people.The way these people expressed their gratitude was very simple, they gave her whatever they had.

Zheng Qiuyun naturally refused to accept it and asked the people to go back. One wave left and another came. She was deeply moved.

　Thank you "I don't like sleeping anymore" and "撟." for your recommendation votes~
