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

The prefect's surname is Chen. He was born in the imperial capital. His family lives close to the palace. He is a child of a famous family. Magistrate Chen was transferred to Xizhou to gain qualifications. After completing his qualifications and being transferred back to the imperial capital, he could legitimately take over the position favored by the family elders.

It is worth mentioning that County Magistrate Chen and Magistrate Chen are descendants of the same Chen family, but one is a direct line and the other is a collateral line.

The Chen family is a wealthy and prosperous family. Just compiling the genealogy of direct descendants would require adding a new genealogy every ten years.

County Magistrate Chen is a direct descendant of the Chen family who is deeply loved by the doting elder. He is not very capable but has a bad temper. He obviously received the most orthodox education since he was a child. He was born with an abnormal body, weighing 100 kilograms and more than 90 abnormal bones. catty.

When County Magistrate Chen was young and frivolous, he caused a lot of ridiculous turmoil and jokes in the imperial capital. He became a low-level person among the children of the same class. He did poorly in the imperial capital and was frustrated. He chose to apply for a job in Beijing. Officer, pass the time.

The old patriarch of the Chen family was afraid that County Magistrate Chen's bad temper would go too far in other places. A strong dragon would not be able to suppress local snakes, and he would be sacrificed if he did not do well. The orphan specially arranged for him to take up a post in Xizhou where his uncle from the collateral clan lived.

Magistrate Chen received a personal letter from County Magistrate Chen. He originally thought that the nephew in the next room had caused him some trouble. Looking at the flying words, he frowned so tightly that he could kill a fly.

His nephew, who lives next to him, has been rebellious since he was a child. With the preference of the elders in the clan, he has always wanted to get the wind and rain, and if he doesn't get it, he will make a fuss.

Once, County Magistrate Chen held a victim of the hostile forces in the street.

The grandson was slammed fiercely. He did not return to the Chen family to seek asylum, but went directly to the reporter.

The more Magistrate Chen thought about it, the more irritated he became. He didn't want to clean up the mess for his incompetent nephew next door. He had enough to do with what he had on hand, and he didn't know how to do it. How could he have so much free time?

Well, Magistrate Chen sighed helplessly. His nephew in the next room was born with a good life, and he could not guarantee that he would have to rely on him someday. He comforted himself in this way.

Magistrate Chen grasped the envelope and let out a long breath, "The rice yield is as high as four stones per mu? Is such a high yield real or fake? Could it be that the people below have deceived it as a fool?"

Magistrate Chen then thought about it, his nephew who lived next door was a child of a famous family, how could he know anything about farming? Maybe, his unfortunate nephew can't even tell the difference between rice and wheat.

After the complaint was over, Magistrate Chen continued to look down patiently. Unexpectedly, his eyes became brighter the more he looked at them. His frowning brows relaxed, and there was a look of surprise on his face: "Come here! Where is the rice that was sent with the letter? Submit it quickly!"

Magistrate Chen is also a child of an aristocratic family, so he naturally doesn't know how to farm. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to farm. He only needs to confirm one thing - that is, there are indeed farmers in Pingle Village under the jurisdiction of Magistrate Chen who can grow crops with an yield of four per mu. Stone's high-yielding rice!

As long as this news is confirmed, Governor Chen will definitely report it to the court and let His Majesty the Emperor in the Imperial Capital know about it!

The entourage came to Magistrate Chen carrying a basket full of rice, followed by several fresh items: "Master Magistrate, in addition to the rice sent,

Anping County also sent new agricultural tools such as wheat hammers, threshing machines, blowers, and wheelbarrows. "

Magistrate Chen took the thick stack of drawings, flipped through them casually, and shouted excitedly: "Go and find the agricultural officer quickly!"

The agricultural officer was experienced and had inspected the quality of the rice and reported his observations to the prefect.

Magistrate Chen handed the drawings of the new farm tools to the agricultural officer, pointed to the finished new farm tools and asked, "How to use these new farm tools? Demonstrate to me."

The agricultural officer was a little confused. It was the first time he saw these new farm tools and he didn't know how to use them at all. He had to bite the bullet and ask him to read the drawings before giving a demonstration.

Magistrate Chen thought he was being arrogant, so in exchange for his entourage, he asked him to find a skilled carpenter to demonstrate the use of these new farm tools in front of him.

The carpenters knew the new farm tools far better than the agricultural officer, a layman. The three of them could see how to use them at a glance and demonstrated them to Magistrate Chen.

Magistrate Chen personally confirmed the high-efficiency operation of the grain fan, and was still proud of it: "This grain fan is really good! With it, you can directly receive clean and full grain when harvesting in the future."

When the agricultural officer heard this, his face tightened, and then he thought again, the government officials who collect grain taxes are strict in nature, and find various excuses to deduct farmers' grain for personal gain. Maybe the grain wind machine can save farmers from suffering losses. maybe.

Due to limited space and materials, Magistrate Chen ordered his entourage to transport these new agricultural tools to Guantian. He went to the site to test the use of these new agricultural tools.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, you will know it after you take it out for a walk.

The news that Magistrate Chen personally brought new farm tools to Guantian spread quickly.

Some well-informed people took the opportunity to come to the scene to observe. Everyone was filled with joy. They followed Magistrate Chen and knelt down to thank heaven and earth, shouting in unison, "God bless the victory!"

The huge surprise brought by the new farm tools made Magistrate Chen believe what his unlucky nephew said in the letter. He immediately arranged for the agricultural officer to go to Pingle Village for on-the-spot investigation, including but not limited to stationed in Pingle Village to collect rice from the new season. When planting begins, carefully record every detail during the planting process, as well as data such as the increase in yield after harvest. The data must be detailed before it can be submitted to the emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor will send agricultural officers, who will then watch Huo Yunchao plant a season of rice and confirm that the reported information is true, and then the court will issue rewards.

Xizhou and the imperial capital are too far apart, and Huo Yunchao is a white man. It is extremely unlikely that the imperial court will call Huo Yunchao to serve as an official in Beijing. He will probably be rewarded with titles based on his merits or directly rewarded with gold, silver, land, etc.

Therefore, if Huo Yunchao wants to receive a reward from the court, he will have to wait at least until the second rice harvest next year. However, Huo Yunchao knew nothing about this at this time. He did not understand the twists and turns of officialdom. He just wanted to hug County Magistrate Chen's thigh tightly to avoid landlord Zhou's crazy revenge.

Just as Landlord Zhou suppressed his murderous intent and waited for Huo Yunchao to make bamboo paper and then kill the donkey, the well-informed person he paid a lot of money to bribe took the risk to pass on the key information - Huo Yunchao had planted four stones per mu. He has been regarded as a "lucky star" by County Magistrate Chen!

Landlord Zhou was horrified and said in disbelief: "Four stones per mu? Is this such a thing?"

The housekeeper was so frightened by Landlord Zhou's aura that he felt cold

He sweated and pursed his lips: "If I tell you, Huo Yunchao has indeed grown rice with a yield of four stones per hour. County Magistrate Chen even went to Pingle Village to witness it with his own eyes..."

"Why didn't you report it earlier?"

Landlord Zhou raised his hand and slapped the housekeeper who grew up with him, scolding and slapping him, and the slaps didn't stop.
