Chapter 141 Real Rice Planting (1)

As spring plowing approaches, the Daxia government has also entered a state of high tension.

In the era when agriculture dominated, whether the spring plowing season will be smooth or not will determine the country's situation in the coming year.Good years can eliminate wars, and bad years can also bring wars.

Ensuring the smooth progress of spring plowing is as important as ensuring the smooth progress of capitalists' eating, drinking and gambling - only when spring plowing goes smoothly and capitalists eat comfortably can the country operate smoothly.

In normal years, Cheng Jinzhou only needs to ensure his own food and drink, but this year, he also hopes that spring plowing can go smoothly.

In order to achieve this goal, Cheng Jinzhou insisted on dragging Warlock Cao Fengxing out of the laboratory. As a price, he had to help the two increase the magnification of the microscope—of course, it was a very simple matter.

Riding the divine Anya thoroughbred horse "Zhufeng", accompanied by two bodyguards, and a long list of entourage, Cheng Jinzhou's team looked like an outing from a distance. In fact, the work he did was not It’s no harder than outing.

No matter when this piece of land belonged to the royal family, or when it belonged to Warlock Liu Kuangxing, the upper-level figures would not manage specific affairs. Most of the time, they didn't even care what to plant.

Therefore, when Cheng Jinzhou brought a brand new crop and asked everyone to plant it, the tenants were naturally uneasy.

The village chiefs of the six or seven nearby villages boarded at the intersection before dawn, ready to welcome the new landlord—Master Cheng Jinzhou Star Warlock.

The eldest village chief of Qingshui Village is almost 60 years old. His face is covered with ravines, just like Iwo Jima after World War II. He squatted in the shade of a tree, knocked on the trunk with his hand, and said to himself: "Last time, my boss let me go." We planted sorghum six years ago, and we don’t know what will happen this year.”

"Six years ago, it was for war, right?" The village chief of Giethoorn was in his prime, and his clothes were brand new.

"Yeah, we need food and grass at that time."

"I don't know what the real rice planted this year is. I heard that the yield is lower than wheat. If the year is bad, it will kill people."

……

When the villagers spoke, they easily lost their tune, and the steward who had stood in front of him and pretended to be his identity had to come over and intervene: "Sir, Master Star Warlock, don't say too much."

Regardless of the fact that the manager is only in his thirties, the village chiefs all knew that he was an apprentice registered in the Star Warlock Tower, so they kept silent.

The fork in the road fell silent again, until the smoke and dust rolled up ahead.

Cheng Jinzhou rode Juechen at the front, Meng Dameng Er followed closely behind, and the rest were far behind.

Classmate Xiao Cheng runs fast. On the one hand, he has a good horse, and on the other hand, he has a star array to use. Meng Da Menger is just hard at riding.As for Shi Yan and the others, even if they could get up to speed, they didn't dare to get too close. They definitely wanted to let the master enjoy the amazing speed.

Cao Feng fell a little behind, still flying in mid-air.The old-school astromancers would use the presence or absence of a flying star array to determine the foundation of an astromancer. After they got used to flying, they would not want to run around on the ground.

The horse reached the fork in the road and still showed no intention of stopping.The Star Warlock Apprentice, who was very impressive in front of the villagers, did not dare to show off his dignity when faced with the real Star Warlock, and could not even raise the small flag in his hand.

It was the middle-aged man from Giethoorn Village who came forward with a big list, waved his arms and shouted: "Here, here..."

Cheng Jinzhou, who was enjoying the rare and rapid pleasure, slowly reined in just now.At this time, his horse had crossed the fork in hundreds of meters.

The star warlock apprentice in front glared at the mature man fiercely, ran forward two steps, saw Cheng Jinzhou turn his horse's head, and quickly performed a formal reception ceremony, saying: "Star Warlock Apprentice Wang Hao pays homage to Mr. Cheng Jinzhou Star Warlock." .”

Cheng Jinzhou only nodded slightly, and rode over on his horse.

Even so, Wang Hao felt very lucky, and beads of sweat fell from his face.

"Who are you?" Cheng Jinzhou sat on the horse, not intending to come down at all.

The others seemed to take it for granted. Meng Da Meng Er lightly moved the reins, intentionally or unintentionally stopping the horse between the crowd and Cheng Jinzhou.

"The younger one is Yang Shan, the village head of Giethoorn Village. We are all tenants under your name."

"Oh?" Cheng Jinzhou had never stayed in the countryside, let alone the countryside in the feudal era, so he had no concept of tenants.

Wang Hao walked up to him timidly, and when he heard Yang Shan speak, he was so anxious that he sweated on his forehead again.

On the contrary, Cao Feng floated over slowly, recognized him again, and called him by name: "Wang Hao, what's going on?"

"Master Cao Fengxing Warlock. Several village chiefs of Zhuangzi are waiting for Master Cheng Jinzhou." Wang Hao showed a trace of joy on his face.He was originally an Apprentice Star Warlock under the name of Cao Feng, but because he had no hope of stardom, he took the second place to manage the land rent of the fields. For the outer peninsula, sending an Apprentice Star Warlock is a great value. , he is actually the actual manager of the land.

"Because?" Cheng Jinzhou frowned. He only needed to rent land and grow real rice, and he didn't have much interest in dealing with tenants.

Wang Hao didn't know how to answer, but Yang Shan mustered up his courage and said, "Master Cheng, we are all your tenants."

"Ok?"

"We are a little worried when we hear that you want us to grow real rice... Tenants all have to live off the produce of the land. It is rare for every family to have some surplus food. We have never grown this kind of rice and we don't know how to handle it. , if killed, so many families will not be able to survive, please let us grow rice." Yang Shan said, choked and knelt down, and all the new clothes he had prepared were rubbed into the soil. .

"Please let us plant rice." A group of people cheered and knelt down.

Cheng Jinzhou was stunned on the spot.He never knew that the landlord could not yet decide what to plant on the land.

Wang Hao's face changed again and again, and he said sharply: "Yang Shan, what do you want to do? Take your land back carefully, get up, get up!"

No one listened to him.

The village head of Qingshui Village also showed his yellow teeth, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Master Cheng, you have pity on us. Without food, the mothers and children at home will starve."

There was a sudden chaos below, Cheng Jinzhou squinted his eyes and listened for a moment, then got off his horse, walked in front of Wang Hao, poked with his spurs and said, "You tell me."

No matter how courageous the village chiefs were, they didn't dare to yell anymore, and they all stopped to let Wang Hao talk.

At this time, Shi Yan and others had already blocked the fork in the road, and the aura of the people around them was overwhelming.

Wang Hao stretched his neck and said without having time to think too much: "Master Star Warlock, what everyone is mainly worried about is that they are not familiar with real rice cultivation. Once you are familiar with it, it will be fine."

"continue."

"Yes... that is, according to the usual rules, tenants pay [-]% of the grain every year. If the real rice production is too small, they may not be able to eat enough."

"Who said you have to pay [-]% of the food this time?"

Wang Hao was stunned, and said cautiously: "If the rent is reduced, the tenants around will probably also reduce their rent. Our rent is already the minimum."

"Pay all the real rice, and I'll give you supplementary food according to last year's rent, how about that?" Cheng Jinzhou looked at Yang Shan who was the first to speak.

Several village chiefs looked at each other, and after a long time, Yang Shan said: "Then give us the food supply, when will it be supplied, and who will supply us?"

"How do you want to make it up?" Cheng Jinzhou knew that they were afraid that some petty officials would do something bad. In fact, with the current political system, it seemed that it was inevitable.

"If the food supplement last year can be given to us before spring plowing, we will be relieved." Yang Shan said happily.

Last year was a bumper year, and the grain before the spring plowing was much more expensive than the grain after the autumn harvest. Wang Hao became anxious when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything when he looked at Cheng Jinzhou.

"I see." Cheng Jinzhou pondered for a moment, and said: "I originally planned to wait until the time of farming, and then send people there, so I will send it to you now. How to make up for it is up to him. Tang Zheng. "

Tang Zheng stood out from the attendants with a tiger's head and a tiger's head.

He had been building a dam in Xiaoxizhuang for half a year, and was pulled over by Cheng Jinzhou after the Chinese New Year.He was from an out-and-out farmer's family, and his father was serving as the village chief. Cheng Jinzhou was originally going to teach him some tips on growing real rice and then spread the word, but now it seems that he has to teach him first.

After explaining a few words, Cheng Jinzhou got on his horse again, and ran forward regardless of the noise below.

He wanted to go to the field and show customer service 010 how to optimize the land for real rice.

Cao Feng shook his head and flew up. He is finally a person who has dealt with farmers all the year round. Although he is at the highest level, he is not an astrologer who does not understand the people's sentiments. After chasing after Cheng Jinzhou, he said: "You will not really give them all. food?"

"Do you think it's inappropriate?"

"If the tenants are not short of grain, they will not devote themselves to planting. Especially based on last year's grain supplement, this year's production will definitely be less."

"Let Tang Zheng negotiate. My bottom line is to give half." Cheng Jinzhou shrugged and put aside the troublesome matters. While asking customer service 010 to measure the content of trace elements in the land, he smiled and said: "Mr. Cao will If you have any special food, don’t forget to show it to me.”

"Let's talk about it after we plant these." Cao Feng pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "From here to the edge of the mountains, it is all your land."

15 hectares of land is 10 mu, which is the size of [-] Vatican City, and can build three or four standard golf courses.Although the grassland may be more extensive, in Cheng Jinzhou's view, the land that can produce food seems to be more intimate.

"At this time next year, the land will be golden." Xiao Cheng said to himself.

"Yes." Cao Feng was in a good mood, and he was less resistant to wasting time.

"Let's walk forward." Cheng Jinzhou said, tapping the horse's belly lightly.

Just as Zhufeng started trotting, someone behind him suddenly yelled: "Master Cheng, Master Cheng..."

"what happened?"

Cao Feng had better eyesight and saw at a glance that it was one of the previous dealers, and immediately said: "Something may have happened."

The other party stumbled over and shouted loudly from a distance: "Mr. Cheng, the lord of the Ministry of Household Affairs has arrested Manager Tang."

"What is the charge?" Cheng Jinzhou hastily urged the horse.

"It's just to exchange for food."
