Maybe it's God's blessing.

The wheat in Xishui Village had just been harvested and dried when it rained heavily for three consecutive days, creating excellent conditions for summer farming.

Seeing the land full of rain water, Yang Laoshi happily walked around the twenty acres of land in his straw raincoat.

These twenty acres of land must be taken good care of.

Yang Laoshi’s eldest son took advantage of the rain to brush the big yellow cattle’s fur.

The rain flowed down his face, he didn't bother to wipe it off, he just grinned.

The big yellow cow was very comfortable being taken care of and mooed loudly.

The two children were eager to try brushing the ox's hair.

Yang Laoshi's eldest son scolded them: "If you stay in the house, what if you catch a cold and pass it on to the teacher?"

After the weather cleared up.

Not far from the Lu family compound, a small farmyard was being built.

The courtyard is very big.

The soil in the yard was rammed solid with stones, and a large gui scale was placed there.

After the courtyard was repaired, an elderly couple came.

Someone in Xishui Village knew this old couple.

"They are the old couple who live in the dilapidated temple in the county."

The old couple's surname is Gu, and they fled here from other places.

Live in a ruined temple.

He set up a letter writing stall at the market and made a living.

It was the head of the yamen runners who found it for Li Jinglan.

When he heard that Li Jinglan gave him two taels of silver a year, he came with his bedding rolled up.

The owner of the courtyard has arrived.

The Agricultural School was established.

Li Jinglan did not say that this was an agricultural school, but only told Yang Laoshi: "Mr. Gu will read agricultural books to you every morning from 9:11 to 13:15 and every afternoon from : to :."

This period of time happens to be the time when farmers do not work.

In the summer, farmers generally work after 2 a.m. and at dusk.

That is to avoid the time when the sun is strongest.

In winter, just change the teaching time.

Yang Laoshi was also very nervous, feeling that he definitely didn't understand what Mr. Gu was saying.

result.

Mr. Gu read to him on the first day like this:

"The fields should be cultivated in time according to the seasons, the soil should be improved, and attention should be paid to fertilizer and irrigation to conserve moisture. Early cultivation can bring better harvests."

Yang Laoshi's eyes suddenly opened wide.

He understood everything Mr. Gu said!

Isn't that what he is doing now?

Cultivate according to the seasons, apply fertilizers and water in time.

Every year he sows seeds a few days earlier than others.

The wheat seedlings grow better than those of other families.

Yang Laoshi was so excited that he couldn't help but urge, "Sir, what's the rest of the book? This book is so well written that we ordinary people can understand it."

Mr. Gu glanced at Yang Laoshi, but muttered to himself.

Who changed "The Book of Fan Sheng" into plain language?

It's really insulting.

But when I thought about how he wrote letters for others in the same way, I felt that he had no right to laugh at others.

He said seriously: "The lady said that I can only read you one paragraph a day. Then you will teach the tenants how to farm."

Yang Laoshi was so anxious that he scratched his head, but Mr. Gu refused to read on.

Yang Laoshi had no choice but to go home.

When he returned home, the tenants gathered at his door.

"Yang Laoshi, the lady asked you to teach us your farming skills."

The tenants looked at Yang Laoshi expectantly.

Now that the apprentice has learned it, the master Yang Laoshi should have starved to death.

Looking at those pairs of expectant eyes, Yang Laoshi found a place to squat down.

Said: "Actually there is really no trick, just be diligent."

After thinking about it, he felt a little sorry for the 100 Wen that Li Jinglan gave him every month.

"Get up early in the morning to catch insects, fertilize and water diligently..."

The tenants booed him.

"Yang Lao Shi, you are dishonest, we do the same thing."

Yang Laoshi choked and said, "Really, I really didn't lie to you. That's what the book says. If you don't believe me, go ask Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu read me the agricultural book today, and that's what he said."

The tenants were even more unconvinced, "Who can understand this nonsense?"

"Are you trying to deceive us by using the names of Madam and Gentleman?"

Yang Laoshi was really anxious: "How about you go over and listen during the afternoon study?"

"Can we go over and listen?"

Although the tenants really wanted to hear whether Mr. Gu studied in this way, they did not dare to go.

No matter how poor Mr. Gu is, he is still a scholar.

They are tenants, how can they enter Mr. Gu’s yard at will?

Yang Laoshi thought about it again and again, and came up with an idea: "Why don't you listen outside the yard?"

"That's a good idea! Let's go and listen in the afternoon. We won't be working then anyway. We can go back to work after listening."

The tenants nodded in unison.

By the afternoon, Li Jinglan heard that the courtyard outside Mr. Gu was full of tenants.

Lu Shengjia glanced at Li Jinglan and asked, "Should we drive those tenants away?"

What to do with the tenants?

She invited Mr. Gu to teach the farmers agricultural books and literacy.

Li Jinglan smiled and said, "As long as it doesn't affect Mr. Gu, there's no need to drive them away."

People tend to follow the herd mentality.

No one drove them away on the first day of listening to Mr. Gu reading, but on the second day everyone came spontaneously to listen to Mr. Gu reading.

"Today we are talking about the spring when the ground is warm. When spring comes, the weather warms up and the ground thaws. At this time, the hard black soil can be broken up, the clods in the soil should be broken up, and the rocks should be thrown away..."

The tenants standing outside the yard listened with bated breath.

I really understand!

They can really understand what is said in this agricultural book.

Mr. Gu read this passage four times and then asked Yang Laoshi to leave.

After Yang Laoshi went out, he took the tenants to his fields.

"That's what I did, and you see, there are no rocks or large clods of earth in my field!"

A tenant farmer walked over and grabbed a handful of Yang Laoshi's land thoughtfully.

Yang Laoshi's land is all loose and soft, very different from their land.

A villager from Xishui Village pretended to be a tenant of the Lu family and asked, "What did you mean by the last sentence, sir, that a good field can also become a bad field?"

"If you don't take good care of your fields, of course good fields will turn into bad fields." Yang Laoshi said.

When the tenants heard the wrong sound, they turned around and became furious.

"Go away!"

"How dare you take advantage of us? From now on, you are not allowed to listen to our teacher's lectures, and you are not allowed to listen to Yang Laoshi's teachings of tricks."

The villagers of Xishui Village were unwilling to leave, and they bowed and smiled, saying, "Let me listen for a while, just for a while."

Everyone kicked and punched the villagers to drive them away, and then asked Yang Laoshi: "If we come to loosen the land every day, it will take up a lot of time."

"You don't have to loosen the ground every day." Yang Laoshi pointed at the ground, "After planting the wheat seeds, you need to tread firmly, then you don't need to loosen the ground. It is indeed hard work, but it only takes a few months."

"We farmers have plenty of time and energy. If we stay in the fields for one more month, the harvest will be better."

"By the way, have you planted all the soybeans?" Yang asked honestly.

The tenants started discussing soybeans again.

At this time.

Li Jinglan went to Teacher Wang's house.

Liu gave her feedback on the use of the flush toilet.

"It's very good to use, and the smell is very slight. My sister-in-law saw it and wanted two too."

Li Jinglan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Qin Shan's father to make two more sets later."

Then, she asked Zhao Zhengyi's family to push the stroller in.

"Aunt, look at this baby carriage."

The entire stroller is made of bamboo.

Four small wheels.

The wheels are metal with rubber tires on them.

Liu fell in love with the stroller as soon as she saw it.

"This little car is really clever."
