Traveling through ancient times

Chapter 256: Harvesting the Wheat Field

"Six girls and twelve boys"!

"...How about this, these six girls live on the second floor of the clothing workshop, and they can also look after the safety of the workshop!"

"As for the boys, my fellow brothers are not here, so let them live in this yard with you. I will have someone arrange two more bunk beds!

Qi Xiao laughed out loud: "That's great, my house is now lively again!"

Gu Dalian thought about meeting these dozen people tomorrow and talking about other things after they were settled!

The sun dyed the sky golden, and the taste of summer became stronger. The wild flowers among the green trees dotted the earth like stars, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

When Gu Dalian arrived at the field, the sun had already risen above the branches. The field was crowded with people harvesting wheat. Gu Dalian was stunned!

Is it necessary to have so many people on this small piece of land?

Gu Dalian covered her face. Even Lin Shiyu, Liu Sinong and Wang Jie all wore straw hats and held sickles and went to the fields!

During this time at home, Dahan had become familiar with everything. He took He Xiaojie and Xu Ziweishui with him and directed people to carry the mung bean and rock sugar water prepared by the Pei family to the fields. In just one hour, the wheat had been harvested!

As the head of the village, Zhang Fa also rushed to the front and worked hard to harvest wheat. After harvesting the wheat, he saw Gu Dalian first. He waved at them like an old child, and told everyone to carry the wheat to the threshing ground, and then ran over excitedly!

When he came up to me, his darkened face was full of energy, and he held a yellow ear of wheat in his hand. He said:

"County sir, the wheat is growing really well. I estimated that this acre of land can produce at least 1200 kilograms, which is several times more than other people's land! Haha..."

After saying that, he smiled and looked at Gu Dalian! Gu Dalian knew what the old man was thinking, so he didn't keep it a secret and said:

"Uncle Lizheng, I have already discussed it with the county magistrate yesterday. Apart from the 15% that is handed over, there will be about 9,000 kilograms left. I will keep 1,000 kilograms for my family, 4,000 kilograms for our village, and the remaining 4,000 kilograms will be left to the county magistrate to arrange!"

Zhang Fa immediately breathed a sigh of relief. There were too many wolves and too little meat. Being able to leave half of it for the village was already very good!

"Don't worry, my lord. We won't plant them in vain. Let them harvest and return you twice as much food!"

Gu Dalian waved her hand and said, "That's not necessary. Just return as much as you took. But now is not the time to talk about that. We can talk about it when it's time to plant."

"I think everyone's wheat will be ripe in three to five days. You, the pillar of support for Cuiyu Village, must make arrangements!"

"We can pick wolfberries soon, and then we can pick peppercorns and corn... you'll be busy!"

"Hahaha, it's good to be busy, it's good to be busy, it means everyone can have enough to eat, warm clothes, and have money to spend. Hahaha, now everyone in our village and the surrounding villages is grateful to your family. No one is quarreling, let alone making trouble. Everyone is busy working every day to earn money, and life has hope..."

As the old man laughed, his eyes became moist. What a sentimental old man!

Lin Shiyu finally walked out of the wheat field reluctantly, followed by Liu Sinong, Wang Shiye, and even a few familiar-looking yamen runners!

"Big sister, if I hadn't come, I would never have thought that an acre of wheat could produce more than 1000 kilograms!"

Lin Shiyu was filled with emotion. If he could plant 8000 kilograms of wheat seeds this year, he could harvest more than 40 kilograms next year, and more than kilograms the year after. He dared not even think about it!

Liu Sinong was still immersed in shock, his eyes were a little straight, staring at Gu Dalian blankly:

"My Lord, the people of the Banyan Kingdom are saved... we no longer have to worry about famine..."

Gu Dalian smiled. She liked dealing with such people who were sincere about serving the people!

"Liu Sinong, suppress your excitement and wait until July when the corn is harvested. The yield there will be higher than this wheat!"

Wang Jie had been smiling and silent, but at this moment he interrupted: "Excuse me, Mr. Xiang, have you made any other discoveries in Yingdang Mountain?"

Gu Dalian asked back with a smile: "Master Wang, what do you want me to discover?"

For example, Sichuan pepper, chili pepper, peach,... However, these things are still in the confidential stage. In order to make some people rich first, the chili peppers must be harvested directly, and then the seeds must be kept by our own people, and the rest must be ground into flour and sent to Fuman Restaurant!

This time they had to go into the mountains in secret. There were many places in Yingdang Mountain that she had never been to, so she had to explore them carefully this time!

Wang Jie smiled and stopped talking. He always felt that his classmate's sister was very mysterious. However, as long as she did things that benefited the people, he would not investigate!

Today, Gu Dalian was in a happy mood, and she directly asked Xu Wenhua to arrange people to go to the orchard to bring back twenty rabbits and twenty chickens. They were pulled back from the space by Xiaolian a few days ago. She put a lot of fish in the newly dug pond at the foot of the orchard mountain, and she asked people to catch twenty of them today!

As for the vegetables, that was even easier. I bought various vegetables from nearby villagers, threw them into the space, and then took out some of the same kinds from the space!

Two cooks were in charge, and several other orphans who liked cooking assisted them. An hour later, at noon, the dishes were ready to be served!

Today, Lin Shiyu and the others did not go into the house, but sat at a table under a big tree on the roadside like everyone else!

Qi Xiao was happy today and sat at the table. His apprentice did well and he also shared the honor!

There are a total of twenty tables today, and twelve people came from the county government. All of them are servants from their own family. There are also more than eighty beggars who are still in training in the village. They are all wearing sweat jackets and long trousers, and they are all in high spirits!

The rest are workers from clothing workshops, fruit workshops, and vermicelli workshops. I didn’t expect that there are so many workers in my village!

"Everyone, today is a great day for our Cuiyu Village. In the past, we could only produce 300 kilograms of wheat per acre. Today, the wheat seeds found by the township master can produce 1,200 kilograms per acre... Next year, more people will plant high-yield grain seeds!"

Lin Shiyu raised his glass to celebrate and gave a toast:

"Today, I would like to take advantage of your banquet to wish our Shannan County will become better and better, our Darong County will have good weather and good harvests, and our people will have enough food and clothing!"

Everyone raised their glasses or clinked their bowls together, the passion was burning, and everyone was eating with their mouths full of oil!

After dinner, those who needed to go to work went to work, and those who needed to clean up cleaned up. It was the autumn harvest season, and the county government was also very busy. Lin Shiyu and everyone else said goodbye and returned to the city!

Gu Dalian checked the accounts of the village workshop and found everything clear!

The women in the clothing workshop were very responsible and treated the factory as their home to the fullest extent. The larger scraps of cloth were collected to make shoe uppers, and the smaller ones were made into thousand-layer soles with paste, generating income for Lianrui!

Gu Dalian rewarded each person with another 500 coins!

After get off work at 6pm, all the workers left!

Gu Dalian was about to go to the fruit workshop to take a look when she heard a cheerful voice:

"Is the boss here? I want to talk to you about something!"
