The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 1041 The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-Law of the Blessed Nongmen (36)

When County Magistrate Chen came, he had just finished writing.

Seeing this unique village collective planting lotus roots and raising ducks, as well as concepts such as work points and dividends that have not appeared before, County Magistrate Chen's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Quickly asked who thought it up, he wanted to recruit this person under his flag.

In the end, when I heard that it was thought up by an illiterate peasant woman, County Magistrate Chen: "..."

He doubted his life: "Ms. Xu is really just an ordinary peasant woman?"

"Ah?" Li Zheng was suddenly asked such a question, stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, "Master Xu is the second daughter of Xu Mancang in Meihua Village. wild boar..."

"Kong Wu is powerful? Hunting a litter of wild boars?"

what the hell!

County magistrate Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, but that wasn't what he asked.

Forget it, the other party probably cast the wrong baby. He was supposed to be born in a scholarly family, a top scholar in scientific examinations, and used by the imperial court, but he was accidentally reborn in the countryside, and even became a woman.

Without Xu Yin's knowledge, County Magistrate Chen hurried back to the county seat with the plan she proposed to enrich the village collectively.

He passed by this place on business this time, and remembering the cartloads of lotus root seeds he had sent out years ago, and the order of the fourth prince, he asked the coachman to drive into the village, hoping that Lizheng would accompany him to the lotus pond of the Cui family, but he did not want to have such a harvest .

He thought further than Lizheng. Dawa Village has many rivers and lakes, which is suitable for growing lotus roots and raising ducks. What about other villages?
Some, like Dawa Village, have well-developed water systems, so they can learn from Dawa Village's plan to get rich;

Some villages have few fertile fields and many mountains. Is it possible to grow fruit trees?Will the village collectively plant fruit trees and sell fruits?

Some villages are close to the Black Stone Mountain. Can the local villagers dig black stones for the imperial court in the form of above-mentioned work to earn work points?Pay according to work points at the end of the year?
In this way, the imperial court did not need to go to great lengths to collect corvee, and men who needed to serve corvee did not need to leave their hometowns to serve. They only needed to work in their own villages, and the payment of work points could be used to offset silk cloth and miscellaneous taxes.

The advantage of this is-everyone has work to do, and if there is work to do, there will be food to eat, and no one will starve to death if there is food to eat. His Majesty cares about the country and the people. The reason why he puts farming at the top of all walks of life and attaches great importance to owning farming Don't technical talents hope that the world will be unified and the people will live and work in peace and contentment?

As long as the fourth prince implements this idea, he will definitely win the Sacred Heart!

At this time, Xu Yin didn't know that an idea of ​​common prosperity that she inadvertently thought of had been sent to the fourth prince's mansion by the county magistrate Chen.

Under the leadership of Cui Jikang, she found the castor plant, cut down the surrounding thorn bushes, and then transplanted the castor plant to her temporarily vacant homestead. The base is planted on a circle.

The plucked castor beans are peeled off their thorn shells, fried, dried and ground into powder, which is picked up by Comrade Xiaojin to the wetlands to apply base fertilizer.

Except for a few acres of paddy fields that have just been planted after applying the basal fertilizer, the rest of the wetland is still empty, which is just used as a test field.

Two plots of the same size were designated, one was fertilized with castor beans and the other was fertilized with rapeseed cake dregs to see which one was more fertile and yielded better.

As for what to plant... She flipped through the seed bag, and most of the seeds in it were contributed by the run-away stall owner in Chunzhou Prefecture.

She picked out the corn seeds, but if she secretly mixed a little system stock into it, it wasn't enough to plant.

Let's add a little more, and she was afraid that Comrade Xiaojin would be suspicious, so she simply put together a basket of taro seeds, two rows of corn and two rows of taro in both fields.

Let's play!Mr. Wetland!

After the spring plowing, the work in the field is relatively leisurely. Xu Yin plans to hire a few helpers, otherwise, relying on the couple alone, if they want to use the wetland around the [-]-acre lotus pond, they will have to work from open eyes until it is dark. Free time will do.

She had already figured out who to ask for help—brothers and cousins ​​from her natal family.

For this reason, she took the time to go back to her mother's house. By the way, she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Sanya, mainly asking her about her requirements for another partner.

The last time I went back to my natal home was the second day of the first lunar month.

At that time, Xu Yin had already lost weight. Mrs. Xu probably saw that her body shape was no different from that of an ordinary daughter-in-law. In her memory, the sturdy image of her granddaughter with hob meat gradually blurred with the passage of time, so she wanted to treat her like other granddaughters. She asked her for 20 taels right away, saying that her grandson was about to get engaged, and the dowry hadn’t been settled yet, and now that there was a new method of composting, everyone wanted to buy paddy fields to grow rice. Of course, the old Xu’s family was also greedy. With this ability, how can you not help the family?

Xu Yin was not used to her, so she performed a scene for the old lady on the spot by pinching the handle of the broom with one hand, which frightened the old lady to sit upright, how could she dare to make half a request.

Going back this time, when Xu Yin said that she wanted to find a helper, the old lady held back and did not dare to ask "Is there any wages", and her face turned purple.

It wasn't until Xu Yin said that the wages were compared with those of the short-term workers in the town, that she breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, my family should help each other, not to mention wages. You sit down, Erya, and I'll call for you. Brothers and cousins ​​must be very happy."

After speaking, Mrs. Xu walked out with her little feet.

Xu Yin just wanted to talk to Sanya, so she went with the old lady's arrangement.

Anyway, no matter who you hire, as long as you go to work in her house, you have to follow her rules.

"Sanya, Dad said that he wants to find someone for you, and your marriage will be finalized in the first half of the year. What do you think?"

"I, I don't want to get married so early." Sanya lowered her head, her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Is it simply that you don't want to marry so early, or do you say that because you have someone you like and don't want to be arranged by the family to marry?"

"Second sister!"

Sanya raised her head abruptly, her eyes filled with shock and astonishment.

After reacting, he hurriedly lowered his head, twisting the corner of his clothes with his fingers: "No, no, I just want to spend a few more years with my parents..."

"Sanya, I don't have much time. If you want to fight for your life's event, just explain it to the second sister. The second sister will hold your eyes for you to see if the other party is worth your wait."

"He is worth it..." Sanya choked up, "He is the only boy student in our village who has passed the exam in recent years. He was expected to be a scholar. Unfortunately, something happened to his family three years ago, and his father fell into the trap of Orion. , hurt his lungs, his mother was pregnant with his third brother at the time, and couldn't bear the blow, so she activated it in advance. Because his third brother was born prematurely, his body was very weak. In the past three years, his mother hadn't sat well during confinement. , and often fell ill. His father rescued him, but he was out of breath after walking a few steps. Mother, my grandma will not agree to this marriage..."

That's right, it's no wonder Mrs. Xu would agree to such a condition.It's not that she cherishes her granddaughter and worries that she will suffer hardships when she gets married, but that such a poor and settled family can't afford the bride price she wants.
