Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Li Zheng was a little confused when he received the notice. After asking the messenger carefully, he found out that Huo Yunchao had won the favor of County Magistrate Chen and specially dispatched experienced craftsmen from the papermaking workshop to Pingle Village for technical guidance.

As the next Li Zheng, Xu Ansheng has been practicing with his father for several years and has very rich experience in dealing with it. When he heard the news, he was overjoyed and said: "Dad, it seems that there is a chance that Huo Yunchao's bamboo paper can be made." Now! Do we want to do something extra?"

Li Zheng rolled his eyes at his son: "How can you be such a last-minute crammer? Don't be too impatient. Huo Yunchao's plan to make bamboo paper won't come out so quickly. Just lend a helping hand when necessary."

Xu Ansheng didn't agree with his father's approach. There was no need to hide the conversation between father and son. They just said what they had to say: "Dad, I'm not just a temporary supporter. I've provided conveniences to Huo Yunchao before. I just want to do more. If Magistrate Chen asks about it, we, father and son, can also get some real benefits."

Li Zheng rolled his eyes at him again: "Walls have ears, I've taught you hundreds of times, but you never listen! Don't speak so bluntly in the future, or be careful of others getting caught in the conversation! Come with me to the papermaking workshop tomorrow. I am responsible for dealing with the craftsmen. You can go around and see how the papermaking workshop works. Come back and tell Huo Yunchao what you have learned. Isn't this just helpful? There is no need to make extra work. No."

When Xu Ansheng thought that this was really the case, he gave his father a thumbs up: "Dad, ginger is still hotter when he is old."

While he was talking to Xu Ansheng inside, Butcher Xu's voice came from outside.

Xu Ansheng stepped forward to greet him and said enthusiastically

: "Uncle Xu, why are you here? Could it be that you heard the news that craftsmen would be invited to the village to help make bamboo paper and came here to confirm it with my father?"

"Huh?" Butcher Xu had only heard Huo Yunchao mention it before and didn't take it to heart at all. When he suddenly heard the good news, he beamed with joy and said, "I really didn't know about this! Ansheng, I am here today to increase rice production and income, and Chao'er said that he wants to ask Li Zheng to help report to the court. The yield of my rice field is at least three and a half stones per mu!"

"What? Is this serious?"

Xu Ansheng knew that Huo Yunchao was not a braggart. He had paid attention to that rice field and it was indeed growing well. However, he was not as bold as Huo Yunchao to think and speak out, and he actually came to his father to report it to the court!

With such courage, Huo Yunchao is no ordinary person!

Butcher Xu and Yourong said: "Yes, Chao'er was a bit unconventional in the past, but he has never let us down since he married Ning Niang. Just now Chao'er said that it would be a conservative estimate of four stones, but we have to Leave yourself a way out and don't speak too harshly."

Xu Ansheng has been farming with his parents since he was a child. He knows very well how low the rice yield in Pingle Village is. Depending on the fertility of the rice fields, it is normal for the yield to be one stone per mu or two stones per mu. A yield of more than two shi per mu is considered high yield if it reaches two and a half shi.

The rice field that Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning carefully cared for could produce three stones per mu, which was enough to report to the court!

The more Xu Ansheng thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He welcomed Butcher Xu into the house and shouted loudly: "Dad! What a happy event!"

Li Zheng secretly complained in his heart: Bai has been teaching for so long, but this stupid son has not learned the essence of his father at all.

As a result, waiting for Xu Tu

After Hu finished speaking, Li Zheng shouted loudly: "What a happy event! What a great happy event! I will write a report and submit it to the court right away! Please invite the agricultural officer to bear witness!"

He happily called Butcher Xu to him, asked about rice planting methods and precautions, tried his best to find out all the information County Magistrate Chen wanted to know, and then wrote it down and reported it.

Butcher Xu did not hide it at all. He mobilized the Huo and Xu families from Huo Yunchao to carefully select the rice seeds, and spent a lot of effort to prepare a special liquid to soak the rice seeds. After that, they dug mud from the pond to make the base. Sprinkle germinated rice seeds and then lay a thin layer of rice poles, which can not only maintain heat and moisture, but also protect the rice seeds from birds and insects.

Xu Ansheng is a person who knows how to read people's eyes. When he saw how interested his father was, he immediately took out a small notebook and wrote down the precautions that Butcher Xu said.

Listening to Butcher Xu talk about how Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning carefully took care of the rice seedlings scattered on the pond mud, watering them every day, removing the rice stalks covering the seedlings at the right time, and transplanting them to the paddy field after the seedlings grew to a certain extent. .

The soil in the paddy fields is fertilized soil dug out by deep plowing. It is worth mentioning that green manure is planted in the paddy fields. The green manure rots directly in the paddy fields, providing nutrients needed for the growth of seedlings, etc.

Li Zheng had been dumbfounded for a long time. After being a farmer for so many years, he had some knowledge of the local climate, planting methods and harvests, but this was the first time he had heard of such a novel planting method today.

"It turns out that Yun Chao and Ning Niang have done so many things. No wonder the rice in that field grows so strong."

He had specifically gone to the rice field to check it out before, and secretly arranged for someone to

Protect that rice field, lest some idiot with pinkeye come and cause damage!

This is not unusual.

There are many shortsighted and short-sighted people in the village. These people only think about their own happiness and completely ignore the overall situation.

Butcher Xu elaborated on the details he remembered. After hearing Li Zheng's sigh, he realized belatedly that the father and daughter had been led by Huo Yunchao. The most interesting thing is that the father and daughter did it voluntarily.

Xu Ansheng checked the key points he had written down over and over again and asked Butcher Xu for confirmation: "Uncle Xu, please check for me. Is there anything I missed? When the agricultural officer comes to the village, I have to be responsible for receiving him. I will have to tell him when the time comes. Talk."

Butcher Xu didn't think much about it. If Xu Ansheng didn't explain it to him, he wouldn't think too much about it. "What else do you want to know? I'll tell you if I know it."

Xu Ansheng chuckled: "There are too many things I want to know. Uncle Xu, I will go home with you later and have a good chat with Yun Chao."

"Okay, you can have dinner at my house tonight." Butcher Xu warmly invited him.

Xu Ansheng laughed happily. He really liked eating at Xu Butcher's house. The food was good.

Li Zheng quietly rolled his eyes and only invited the young ones, not the old ones.

Butcher Xu did not accept Li Zheng's resentment at all. After saying that he wanted to report the matter to the court, he asked about the craftsmen in the papermaking workshop.

Only then did Li Zheng find a place to use his skills, and explained his arrangements to Butcher Xu in detail: "It said that I would go to the papermaking workshop tomorrow to take people back to the village, and then I would ask Master Zheng and Yun Chao to come over to receive them. The craftsmen should be there. After staying in the village for a few days, I asked my wife to clean up a guest room and come out. The craftsmen came to the village to do business, and the court

He will be given a subsidy, and a sum of money will be given to him for food and drink. "

When Butcher Xu heard that Li Zheng had arranged the matter, he felt relieved and took Xu Ansheng home with him.
