Chapter 281 Harvesting Winter Wheat

Early August is the hottest day in summer, and the whole world is in a sweltering heat and irritability. The lions are okay, and they are used to staying in tropical places. The two kings of the forest, Xiaojin and Xiaobai, are not good-looking, and they are often away from home. , Almost all of them are on Mount Kao.Yi Xue hides in the valley every day. The construction of the valley is not finished yet, and it seems that it will be almost done in seven or eight days.

"Sister, the wheat should be harvested," Xiaojun said after he came in.

Yi Xue nodded. She went to see it in person yesterday afternoon, and the winter wheat was ready to be harvested.The sending and receiving of wheat and coarse grains are almost the same, but Yi Xue doesn't care about these things anymore. Xiao Yu came yesterday with the order from the Holy Majesty. Xiao Yu is responsible for collecting all the wheat, and Xiao Yu is responsible for the final statistics of the yield per mu. The final harvest belongs to Yixue's family, but [-]% of the grain must be sold to the government.This has been discussed long ago, so Yi Xue has no objection, this is the best, and it makes me feel a lot easier.

As for sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops that Yixue was worried about, Xiao Yu consulted His Majesty and defined them all as vegetables.If the output is extremely high, half of it will be sold to officials for promotion.Yi Xue knew that this was the Holy Majesty's effort to consolidate the imperial power, and what the royal family should do now is to win the hearts of the people all over the world.

"The prince is here," Qiu Shui ran in and said with a smile.

Now everyone in the family knows that Xiao Yu will come to Yi Xue from time to time, no matter what the reason is.Yi Xue was not indifferent to Xiao Yu, and the problem was Xiao Yu's marriage.So far, Xiao Yu has never mentioned it to her, and Yi Xue also pretended not to know, but there is always a lump in her heart, which is brooding on her heart.

"Master, what's the matter today?" Yi Xue asked lightly.

Xiao Yu frowned, why did this girl treat her so coldly these days?
"I'm going to organize people to harvest the winter wheat tomorrow. After the winter wheat is harvested, the spring wheat can basically be harvested. I just came to ask, what else do you have to explain?" Xiao Yu looked at Yi Xue's indifferent expression. expression, feeling very uncomfortable.

"How about this, let Xiaojun, Tianjia and others follow to collect it," Yi Xue said.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile, wanting to break the uncomfortable atmosphere.

Yi Xue thought about it for a while, let's go there by himself, it's all his own stuff, Xiaojun, Tianjia and others have been taking care of him all this time, he really didn't take a good look at it, since it's the autumn harvest, so happy In those days, always look at the fruits of your labor.Nodding to Xiao Yu, he said, "I'll go tomorrow too, I can't let you hack my wheat."

Xiao Yu's face darkened, this girl started to run on me, what went wrong?

In the early morning of the next day, Yi Xue, Xiaojun and others wore casual clothes and walked towards the winter wheat field. Along the way, they saw a long line. Simply neat a lot.

"Director Tian, ​​you can command these people, and you can do whatever you want," Xiao Yu said. He is a layman for farming, so he simply handed over the rights to Tianjia.

Tianjia was startled, looked at the team of hundreds of people, and was taken aback, darling, I have never commanded so many people.He looked nervously at Yi Xue, and his eldest lady nodded at him.

"A team of 20 people, line up in a row, and every 20 people are separated by a distance of [-] feet. By the way, when using a sickle, you must pay attention to safety," Tianjia said.

Xiao Yu immediately issued an order to let these people follow Tianjia's instructions. Soon, the soldiers started working. Hundreds of people harvested [-] acres of land. The speed is so fast, it only took less than half a day. The wheat was harvested and then sent to the threshing floor for separation and sorting. The whole threshing floor was extremely lively.

Outside, all the people in the village came, looking at Dongmai and these soldiers curiously, the village head felt a little regretful, last autumn, Yi Xue suggested that he should plant some, he thought it was a new thing, and he was afraid of losing money , I dare not agree.But now it seems that everything Yi Xue does seems to be well thought out, and she has never suffered a loss. According to such reasoning, this winter wheat harvest must also be a bumper harvest.

It's a pity, why am I so stupid, I missed the opportunity, and the village chief blamed himself.

When Yi Xue exited the threshing ground, she saw the village chief and the village chief standing aside.

"Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Chief, you are here too," Yi Xue smiled and came over to say hello.

The village head and the head of the village hurriedly bowed their heads and said in awe, "Miss Yixue, you are a noble person, don't call us uncle anymore."

Yi Xue smiled lightly and said, "Even if you are rich, you still raised it? You should call me uncle, I dare not forget my roots."

The village head and the head of the village felt warm at the same time, and tears were almost shed. This girl is so good, she knows how to repay her kindness, is filial and polite, quick-witted, and a really good person.

"Uncle Village Chief, how is the vegetable base going?" Yi Xue asked.

The vegetable base was suggested by Yixue to the village chief, to build a special shed in the village, making it look like a modern vegetable market, and then set up a convoy to transport and sell all the vegetables in Kao Village.

The village head and the head of the village were even more excited when they heard Yi Xue talk about the vegetable base. The village head said, "Yi Xue, that's really good. You don't know. These days, the caravans that come to Kao Village to order vegetables are all lined up. We are outside the village, and there are not enough vegetables to sell every day. Our village is now the richest among the surrounding villages, and everyone in the village thinks of you every day."

Yi Xue nodded, the result was obvious, and said with a smile, "Since this is the case, we must manage it well, so that no accidents happen, and then tell the villagers not to bully the market, not to make things difficult for customers, and to establish integrity and long-term development."

The head of the village immediately straightened his face and said, "Yixue, you are right. I found out that some people in the village have this kind of sign a few days ago, and now we are rectifying it. In the future, they will no longer be allowed to enter the market, and the dividends of the carbon field will also be deprived. If the nature is bad, they will be driven out of Kao Village.”

Seeing that both the village head and the village head had a sense of proportion, Yi Xue also felt at ease. This was her base camp, and she didn't want any problems to arise.

"Master Wen is here." I don't know who yelled, Yi Xue turned her head and saw a carriage approaching, and immediately went up to meet it.

"Uncle Wen, why are you here?" Yi Xue asked with a smile.

Wen Taichang smiled, reached out and touched Yi Xue's head, as if he were his own daughter, "Let me take a look, anyway, I am also the place of sacred destiny, and I am also in charge of this place, hehe, let's go and see look"

Yi Xue followed Wen Taichang to the side of Xiao Yu who was directing.Seeing that it was Mr. Wen coming, Xiao Yu nodded with a smile, and then continued to direct.

"Girl, do you estimate how much wheat is produced per mu?" Master Wen asked thoughtfully.

Yi Xue thought about it for a while, but she actually had no idea, remembering that in her previous life, the yield of wheat was generally between [-] and [-] per mu, depending on whether the field was fertile enough.In her opinion, the land here is very fertile, and what is lacking is management experience.Although there is "Farmland Chronicle", after all, I have never planted or managed a field by myself, so I have no idea.After thinking about it, he gave Wen Taichang a conservative figure, "It's about [-] catties."

Wen Taichang was stunned, and then pleasantly surprised, "Really? The coarse grains are only more than 400 catties, and this is still the best harvest."

Yi Xue didn't dare to say more, "Uncle Wen, I guessed this too, I can't guarantee it."

Wen Taichang nodded, "If it's true, it's really a blessing to my Tang Dynasty. If it spreads, all these millions of people will have enough food, clothing, and happiness. Yixue, you should regard it as the gospel of my Tang Dynasty."

Being praised by Wen Taichang so much, Yi Xue felt a little ashamed, she never thought about it from this angle, she just made her life better and earned money first, and these things would naturally spread in the future, and she never thought that she would be so great.If Wen Taichang knew Yi Xue's thoughts, he wouldn't blame him. After all, the things belonged to Yi Xue. As long as Yi Xue was willing to sell them to the officials, it would be a great merit.

"Uncle Wen, stop praising me, I feel a little ashamed," Yi Xue said awkwardly.

Wen Taichang had a rosy face, waved his hands, and stood up straight, "Don't be humble, if wheat can really feed the world, you deserve to be the gospel of the people, and everyone in the world admires you."

Yi Xue looked at the excited Master Wen, and the two talked briefly, the soldiers on the field were busy and sweating.Yi Xue hurriedly ordered Mrs. Jia to boil mung bean water, add sugar, and take out ice cubes from the cellar that had been treasured in winter to quench everyone's thirst.

Jun Bing was very grateful to this young lady immediately, it was not easy to have ice water in summer.Many high-ranking officials will have ice respect for subordinate officials. Bing Jing is to put ice in the cellar in winter and take it out to cool down in summer. Although it is just a trivial matter, it is not easy to do.

"That's right, that's right, Yixue, this soda made from watermelon juice is really comfortable," Master Wen said, licking his lips, the cold watermelon water is very comfortable.Yi Xue also saw it from the computer. It is very simple to make soda from watermelon. Boil watermelon rind, add sugar to the water, and then chill it. It tastes sweet and refreshing.

Xiao Yu nodded, he looked at Yi Xue, but Yi Xue turned her head hastily, which made him very puzzled, what went wrong?During this period of time, he and Yi Xue couldn't even get on with each other, and he was a little anxious, but it was useless, this girl was stubborn and courageous, there was really nothing she could do with her, so she had to wait and see what happened There was a mistake.

After resting for an hour, Mrs. Zhang and the others invited the daughters-in-law of the village to cook. It was not easy to cook meals for hundreds of people, so Yi Xue simply made a hodgepodge of the previous life, including meat, Chinese cabbage, tofu, potatoes, etc. Wait for the vegetables to be stewed in one pot, and then the whole grain steamed buns will be full.The officers and soldiers who had never eaten this way were very curious. When they ate it, their eyes lit up immediately. The taste was simply amazing.Xiao Yu and Master Wen also ate curiously, and then raised their thumbs up, "However, the taste is really good."

After eating, everyone started to get busy again, and didn't stop until night approached.The threshing floor was surrounded by sergeants, and no one was allowed to approach it.Yi Xue's family also went back, standing outside all day, the skin almost fell off from the sun.

Just when Yi Xue was going to sleep, she heard the noise outside, and immediately came out with her clothes on, and saw Tianjia running in a panic.
