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

County Magistrate Chen was surprised that the Xu family's latrine was clean and tidy. There was a water tank with a ladle floating on it in the corner. It was obvious at a glance that it was specially used to flush the toilet.

Gee, the Xu family pays so much attention to details even in their huts, no wonder they can produce three and a half stones per mu.

County Magistrate Chen came out after untying his hands and said casually: "Huo Shulang, your hut is well repaired."

The master's expression on the side changed, his lips moved but he didn't say a word.

When Zheng Shaoxuan heard County Magistrate Chen's words, he thought to himself: It's really surprising that the new magistrate would praise the Xu family's hut in public for how well it was repaired.

Compared with the previous magistrate who pretended to be aloof, this magistrate Chen seems to be easier to deal with.

Huo Yunchao doesn't have so many twists and turns. His hut is indeed well repaired. Even in the hottest summer, there will be no disgusting odor. Users will not leave it with them after solving their physiological problems. The stench comes out.

This hut can be said to be Huo Yunchao's most proud work.

After being praised by County Magistrate Chen, Huo Yunchao felt very happy and replied generously: "Sir, the construction plan of the thatched house was thought up by a villain. But this thatched house can be built so well, thanks to my wife and brother Huo family. Every brick and tile, the plaster on the wall and the latrine extending to the back of the house, as well as the stones covering the latrine, all depend on my wife and brothers from the Huo clan."

"Huo Shulang is a good man who is upright and broad-minded! We have young people like you in our Dasheng Dynasty, so why worry about the prosperity of the Dasheng Dynasty?"

County Magistrate Chen already had a good impression of Huo Yunchao. After borrowing his hut, his impression of Huo Yunchao and the Xu family became even better.

a bit.

Huo Yunchao did not shy away from his status as the Xu family's son-in-law at all, and openly introduced the contributions of the Xu family's father and daughter and the Huo clan. He was neither greedy for merit nor inferior. He was a responsible and responsible man who was very commendable!

You must know that on the way here, the master also criticized Huo Yunchao with County Magistrate Chen, saying that Huo Yunchao "lowered his status to marry into the Xu family and become a son-in-law. His marriage was an insult to the honor of a scholar and caused other scholars to follow him and be humiliated."

County Magistrate Chen was listening in one ear and out the other, but he didn't take the master's words seriously at all. He was a bohemian by nature and loved freedom, so he didn't think there was anything to criticize about Huo Yunchao's choice to marry into the Xu family.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing and hearing is believing. Magistrate Chen is more willing to believe his own eyes. As he expected, Huo Yunchao is a good man worthy of trust.

Huo Yunchao did not expect that Magistrate Chen would give him such a high evaluation, and hurriedly said that he was not good enough and still needed to work hard to do more things.

County Magistrate Chen patted Huo Yunchao on the shoulder and said, "It is a good thing for young people to have hard work and goals!"

After the greetings, County Magistrate Chen relieved his urgent need. He was not as anxious as before and asked Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan to accompany him as he walked slowly towards the rice field with an output of three and a half stones per acre.

In the eyes of the villagers in Pingle Village, County Magistrate Chen is the biggest official and the most powerful person. His appearance is like the sun falling into darkness, so shining yet so out of reach.

Aunt Yao, who was committed to maintaining a good relationship with Huo Yunchao, saw with her own eyes how much County Magistrate Chen valued Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan. Her heart was beating wildly, and when it beat the fastest, she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

feel.

County Magistrate Chen asked questions all the way, all about rice planting, such as seed selection, sowing, insecticide, weeding and other planting processes. He also asked what kind of pest problems would be encountered during the growth of rice. If it didn’t appear one time, is it possible that it will appear next time?

If different pests appear in different crops, can the secret pesticide recipe reported by Huo Yunchao to the court still be able to provide the right medicine?

The questions asked by County Magistrate Chen were all the professional counterparts of Huo Yunchao, a doctor of agriculture. He had adapted to the Dasheng Dynasty for such a long time and was able to explain the situation to Magistrate Chen in the authentic language of this other world without hesitation. .

"Agricultural Officer, have you recorded Huo Shulang's experience?"

County Magistrate Chen suddenly stopped and called the name of the accompanying agricultural officer. Seeing that the other party had empty hands, he immediately frowned and asked him with some displeasure.

The agricultural officer was shocked. He thought that today was just a formality. He didn't think that Huo Yunchao could really grow such high-yielding and high-quality rice. At three and a half stones, the yield per mu was at least 600 kilograms! How is this possible? The yield per mu is two kilograms, and more than three hundred to four hundred kilograms is already a very high yield value.

I never expected that Huo Yunchao, a scholar, would be so bold. He just said that the output would be doubled. Isn't this nonsense? The agricultural officer didn't believe this data from the bottom of his heart, so he really didn't care to listen to Huo Yunchao's planting experience.

Suddenly being called upon by County Magistrate Chen, the agricultural officer hesitated for a long time without holding in his words, which made Magistrate Chen unhappy. He gave the agricultural officer a cold look, without saying a word of harsh criticism, but he was already there. In his heart, he cut off the agricultural officer's path to promotion and wealth.

Huo Yunchao saw through it

Needless to say, he had sensed the agricultural officer's contemptuous attitude toward him from the very beginning. There were many people who looked down on him, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

At this moment, Huo Yunchao looked at the person who looked down on him and was disgusted by County Magistrate Chen, and felt secretly happy in his heart: Today you look down on me, sooner or later, I will be out of reach of you!

Along the way, County Magistrate Chen was multitasking. Not only was he listening to Huo Yunchao share his planting experience, he was also observing the rice growth conditions of other farmers along the way, which was not much different from the rice fields around Fucheng.

When it came to the rice field where Xu Ning and Huo Yunchao had carefully taken care of them, County Magistrate Chen's heart dropped to the ground: "Huo Shulang, is this the rice that you two have carefully taken care of and grown up? The ears of rice produced by these two people are amazing. It’s so heavy! Someone, bring some rice ears from five nearby fields for comparison!”

The officials quickly went to pick the rice ears. Six rice ears were placed together. The rice ear in the hands of County Magistrate Chen was particularly outstanding. The ears were large and long, and the grains of the rice were full. After peeling the shells, the rice grains were even more crystal clear. .

The master who disliked Huo Yunchao before now smiled particularly kindly at Huo Yunchao: "Just by looking at the ears of rice, you can tell that this three-acre rice field will have a bumper harvest! Huo Shulang, you are really a strange person!"

"I don't dare to take it seriously."

Huo Yunchao quickly declined. He had gained so much by standing on the shoulders of giants, and it was definitely not his fault alone.

County Magistrate Chen knelt more than ten grains of rice in a row. The more he ate, the happier he became. He turned to ask Huo Yunchao, who was chatting with his master, "Looking at the quality of the ears of rice, it should be ready for harvest, right?"

Huo Yunchao hurriedly replied: "Sir, the rice is ripe and ready to be harvested.

"

As soon as County Magistrate Chen heard this, he immediately told Li Zheng: "Assign people to harvest, weigh after harvesting, dry in the sun, weigh again, leave fifty kilograms for seeds, and take the rest to the county government. "

Li Zheng nodded repeatedly, saying that whatever his superior said, he would just do it.
