Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 331 Promotion of Agriculture
Qiu Yongzheng, as the future ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, of course hopes that his country will be prosperous and the people strong, and the country will be safe and peaceful!At this moment, Qiu Yongzheng really had a smile on his face and sweetness in his heart.

Xu Xiaomi was leaning on Qiu Yongzheng's shoulder at this moment, what was he thinking?Xu Xiaomi knew everything.Of course, Xu Xiaomi also hoped that her husband would think so.

Now, originally, I had to help him manage Da Zhou well, so that I could be happy.

Therefore, she already has a plan in her heart. As long as the people are self-sufficient, the saying that "food is paramount to the people" will gradually change to eating well and well, just like her previous life.

From then on, it is no longer that there is something to eat, and there is enough to eat!That's it!Then her Siweizhai can set off a second profit climax in the capital.Thinking of this, the joy in Xu Xiaomi's heart was already written all over his face!

They walked slowly along the way, admiring the scenery and the crops on both sides of the road, while walking forward.

Xu Xiaomi found that these rice stalks were not even a foot high, so how could they have a good harvest?

Then look at the corn and sweet potatoes that she thinks are high-yielding, and no one has grown them yet.

She planned in her heart that all the corn and sweet potatoes received this year would be distributed to the states and counties, so that some people would plant them first.

After another year, there will be more people planting, and there will be enough seeds.Anyway, as long as you are willing to be diligent, let them breed!

Just like this, I walked and rested, looked and thought, and when I arrived at Xujia Village, it was already the morning of July [-].

Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng returned to Xujia Village, and the news spread quickly.Even what they said, as long as you help in Xujia Village and move five bricks from the ruins to the temple, you can get a copper coin at the gate of the temple.

Many nearby villagers came to help move bricks.And one after another, there are more and more people.

Xu Xiaomi took a look and found that there were not many bricks in the ruins, in order to prevent the villagers from scrambling each other to make money and causing troubles.

She told Qingfeng at the gate of the temple that anyone who moved bricks once would not have to go again. This is also a way of accumulating public morality.

Therefore, those villagers who have moved once heard that a person can only move once.Just tell the villagers who come after you see where there are still, so that it seems very friendly.

Xu Xiaomi gave this temple a name, Baoen Temple.This is a not too big temple.

The four-tiered hall, the first one when you enter the gate, enshrines Wu Yue and Xu Yaowu on the divine case, which is called the Erxian Hall.

The second one is dedicated to Xu Yaowu's wife, He Yu'er.Xu Xiaomi has a special feeling for this woman, and she is enshrined alone because she has great maternal love.

Seeing that He Yu'er was enshrined here alone, she seemed a little lonely.So, put her two sons and daughters under her head.Let her children serve her.Name it, Empress Palace!
The third layer contains the tablets of Old Man Xu and Mrs. Wang.Xu Xiaomi has nothing to say about this honest and honest grandfather.However, she will never say that she likes Grandma Wang.

However, they were my grandparents and my father's biological parents after all, so it was better for the two of them to live in the same hall alone.

The fourth floor is also the largest hall. There are no compartments. In it are all the men, women, old and young people in Xujia Village except for the previous ones.

Due to the tight time given by Xu Xiaomi, the golden body of the Buddha statue in this temple did not have time to be molded, and it was already the Lantern Festival.

Therefore, after Xu Xiaomi came back, the craftsmen were still busy.

However, the villagers who came to watch the excitement felt a little disappointed. There is not even a Bodhisattva in such a big temple.

However, when everyone saw those craftsmen still working, they were looking forward to it. How spectacular will the Bodhisattva's golden body be when it is finished?
Xu Xiaomi stayed in Xujia Village until July [-]th, and then left for the capital.

When leaving, she told Qingfeng to put the newly harvested rice, corn and sweet potatoes in another place this year.

At that time, she will call someone to come and get it.If you eat by yourself, you should eat the food from last year first.

She also went to see this year's fruit harvest alone.This year's grapes are ready to make wine.

The pears are also fruitful, and there is also the flat peach that I married only last year.That one weighs more than a catty!It's tempting to look at.

She had already had someone pick it for her and brought it back to the capital.She wants to leave, and won't let her parents and grandparents stay in Xujia Village.

He took them back to the palace in the capital.

He brought a lot of tender corn cobs back to the capital.She is going to give some to each of the ministers, so that they can try something new.

Back in Beijing this time, Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng started to focus on agriculture.

Qiu Yongzheng asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Shangguan Yu, to select twenty newly admitted officials this year and organize them together.

When he issued an order, the originally idle officials were very busy.Qiu Yongzheng didn't know that when he was not around.

Many of these officials were sold for money given to the chief examiner.Therefore, when he said that Shangguanyu would organize officials, he thought there would be another exam.

Hurry to find those who sell official jobs and let them review quickly.But he selected [-] people who barely passed the test.

Three days later, Qiu Yongzheng asked him to bring him to Tai Academy.

Shangguanyu brought the person he selected into Taiyuan Academy, and Xu Xiaomi asked Xiaobailong to be a tutor.

After three days of explaining, Xu Xiaomi wanted to do random checks, but only two people passed the test.

Xu Xiaomi reported the situation to Qiu Yongzheng truthfully.He was also asked to test those recent officials in front of civil and military officials in the court hall.

Unexpectedly, in Qiu Yongzheng's test, there were actually seven people in the class, and it was revealed.

This is all right, Qiu Yongzheng directly dismissed Shangguan Yu's post.And all the examiners of this exam were exiled.

This time, both Wu Qian and Wu Yang will be reused.However, the officials in the court are still not enough.

Xu Xiaomi asked Xiao Bailong to be her imperial envoy again.This year, as an exception, two imperial examinations were held.Moreover, it was also announced that the scientific examination will be held every year in the future, so that many talented people will not be able to pass the examination until they are old.

The time limit for keeping filial piety was also changed to one year.This kind of reform has undoubtedly added incomparable confidence and opportunities to the students.

Moreover, Caiyi, Xiaoxiang and Xiaobailong are the invigilators this time.However, both Caiyi and Xiaoxiang turned into men.

In this way, no one can cheat, and no one can sell their officials.

Wait until the students selected from all over the country finish the exam.

Qiu Yongzheng took Xu Xiaomi to review the papers again, twenty outstanding talents selected by Xu Xiaomi himself.She was assigned to Tai Academy.The class is taught by Xiaobailong himself.

This time, three days later, Xu Xiaomi passed the random checks.

So, another three-month course was offered.Mainly to teach them how to train, the next-level officials grow sweet potatoes and corn, two crops.

It stands to reason that these simple courses would take at most one month. However, Xu Xiaomi thought about explaining it, so he had to let them know how to grow it themselves, and he had to explain the reasoning.

So, it took three months. After doing this, by the time she finished the exam for them, it would be almost Chinese New Year.

After the new year, it is time to start planting sweet potato seedlings.However, these officials have not yet gone, what about the officials at the next level of the church?

After Xu Xiaomi thought about it, there was only one way.That is, let these nominal Beijing officials go down to the grassroots to lead their lower-level officials to operate in the fields.

In order to let the officials go to the countryside without complaint, she also stated that the more apprentices in the church, the better the reward for returning to Beijing.

Moreover, Xiaobailong Caiyi and Xiaoxiang will be sent as officials of the Supervision Department.Run across the country.See if those officials have accepted bribes or been lazy.

Facts have proved that the talents Xu Xiaomi selected this time are all very qualified.No matter how hard they are, they will teach conscientiously.

Once the sweet potatoes and corn are sown, rice seeds will be produced immediately.

Xu Xiaomi knew that it was too late for the officials sent out to come back.Let Xiaobailong Caiyi and Xiaoxiang work harder.

When they went to the countryside, they even taught grassroots officials.In this way, time is saved without delaying this year's crop production.

By the time the dispatched officials returned, it was already three months later.

April of the lunar calendar is a busy season in Xujia Village, but it is a barren month in other places in Da Zhou.

Xu Xiaomi, let those officials who have been selected go to Xujia Village to have a look.

After they returned to the capital, they said: "Xujia Village is the most affluent place in Dazhou. There can be planted twice a year..."

But Xu Xiaomi smiled and said to them: "Actually, apart from Dingzhou, other places in Dazhou can plant two seasons a year like Xujia Village.

In many places, it is also possible to breed.Land farming is in the mountains, and aquaculture is in places near water sources.However, we have to fill the stomachs of the people first. "

After listening to what their princess said, everyone laughed heartily, as if seeing the prosperous life in the future.

In this way, the Agricultural University course that Xu Xiaomi opened in the capital was finalized.

The officials of this department range from students to teachers to professors.

Xu Xiaomi taught them what they often saw in the field, and then taught them how to grow potatoes, soybeans, and peanuts.

Let them learn it and take it to the field for use.And the hundreds of acres of land in Xujia Village became their experimental field.

Slowly, Xu Xiaomi taught them the technique of marrying fruit trees.Moreover, in Xujia Village, next to the two acres of thin land of his own home, he opened an orchard experiment base of nearly [-] acres.

Three years later, she felt that the first batch of officials could be professors.Just let them go.

Because, the imperial court saw Qiu Yongzheng and Xu Xiaomi.The effectiveness of the project opened.

That is, in the second year, every household of the common people in Dazhou had a bumper harvest.When the imperial court collected taxes, no family could not afford to pay.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the project of agricultural scientific research was officially opened.Those who pass the exam will go directly to Taiyuan College to learn agricultural knowledge.
