The shameless female county magistrate shocked the government and the public
Chapter 33 Great Harvest
On October 10, the temperature in Yinshan County dropped sharply.
Yu Jiuer came to the paddy field with her big belly.
A large field of golden rice, with the rice stalks bent down.
Wang Meng, who was following her, said proudly, "Sir, everyone says that this rice field has the fullest grains we have ever seen. The workers in the rice field group show off in front of everyone all day long!"
Wang Meng divided the farm work into different groups to manage. Recently, the sorghum group, wheat group and corn group have all achieved a bumper harvest, which is twice as much as the yield of ordinary people's crops in the past. These groups were so proud that they almost turned their tails up to the sky.
Yu Jiuer smiled and pulled up the rice ears, carefully observing the rice's maturity, and said, "The rice is almost grown, and the weather is getting colder. Let's start harvesting in three days!"
Wang Meng happily responded, "Great! Everyone has been looking forward to this day for a long time. This is the highlight of the farm! Are we going to harvest the experimental fields as well? Ma Liang treats the experimental fields as treasures and stays in the fields every day. If you don't know, you would think that's his wife!"
"Puchi!" Yu Jiuer couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Harvest them together. When harvesting the experimental field, be careful not to mix the rice with the rice in other paddy fields. Put them out separately. Weigh the rice after removing the ears, and select the seeds with full grains for planting next year!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Three days later, the rice was harvested.
There are more than a thousand acres of rice, and three thousand workers joined in the harvesting. People nearby also came to help with sickles.
The scene was spectacular and lively!
Yu Jiuer’s belly was too big, so she didn’t dare to join in the fun.
Although the people all knew her secret, she was afraid of attracting the attention of someone with ulterior motives during this turbulent time.
She sat at home directing farm affairs, and every afternoon after work, Wang Meng came to report to her.
When I have nothing to do, I also take care of some miscellaneous government affairs in the government office.
However, the people were very sensible and did not cause her any trouble. As for government affairs, she had a very leisurely time as a county magistrate.
If no one beats the drum to complain, there is no need to go to court.
Previously, I was worried that being a county magistrate would be like being a modern neighborhood committee director, taking care of trivial matters all day long. Now it seems that this worry is really unnecessary, and a county assistant is enough to handle it.
However, there were some minor frictions between the farm workers and the county residents that day.
The origin of the conflict comes from the stone rollers of the waterwheel used to remove the ears of corn.
In the past, people threshed the rice by bundling it neatly and then beating it with hammers to separate the rice ears.
Or you can simply beat the bundles of rice one by one into a special large square barrel to separate the grains from the rice stalks.
Now Yu Jiuer uses a water wheel to generate power to drive a stone roller to remove the ears of corn, which greatly saves manpower.
After the millet is dried, you can use this stone roller to pound the rice.
For a time, waterwheels and stone rollers became popular among the people.
It is rarely used in normal times, so Yu Jiuer will issue an official document and the people can use it directly if they need it.
But now the farm is harvesting rice, and the stone rollers are used by farm workers all day long, causing people from outside to carry millet here to pound the rice. They have to wait in line for a whole day but still cannot get a turn, and have to carry the millet back home at night.
After going back and forth for two or three days, some people couldn't help but grumble: "What's the big deal? It's just a stone roller. Look how proud you are of it!"
The farm workers were very upset when they heard this, and they shouted and condemned: "The county magistrate asked you to work on the farm, but you didn't trust him and refused to come. Now you come to work on the waterwheel and stone roller. How dare you complain?"
Each one spoke a different word, and the conversation continued, until the workers and the people started arguing.
My second uncle was busy directing the workers to harvest in the fields and had no time to pay attention.
Yu Jiuer had no choice but to go to court for the first time despite her big belly.
But they were afraid of being exposed, so they could only try the case behind a curtain.
This made the common people feel very sorry, and as soon as the case was stated, they hurried to apologize to the workers.
Yu Jiuer, who had not yet entered the trial state, easily finished the first case in her life.
Yu Tao said exaggeratedly: "Sir, now the people are eager to worship you. Seeing you handle government affairs while pregnant is already unbearable, how can they bear to continue to cause trouble for you!"
Yu Jiuer smiled knowingly. The more sensible the people became, the heavier the burden she felt.
If she can't even provide such good people with food and clothing, how can she deserve their respect?
After all the rice had been threshed, Wang Meng and several team leaders came to report to Yu Jiuer excitedly. Everyone's face was flushed with excitement:
"Sir, the rice yield per mu is 305 kilograms! Sir, it is 305 kilograms! It is more than double the yield of previous rice fields."
"The county magistrate was so happy that he jumped up and down and almost fell into the field. He said that our rice yield per mu has caught up with the rice in the south of the Yangtze River!
"The yield of the experimental field was as high as 400 kilograms per mu! Everyone couldn't believe it and weighed it again and again!"
"People came rushing over upon hearing the news, cheering and saying you are truly amazing!"
"Sir, the farm has a great harvest. We have defeated God. You are so awesome!"
Yu Jiuer's eyes were filled with tears as she heard this: "Today's harvest is the result of everyone's hard work! From developing the wasteland to fertilizing and irrigating the fields, everyone has put in a lot of effort; from planting to harvesting, everyone has taken meticulous care of it. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Each farm worker will be given 50 kilograms of rice. It's up to you whether you want to keep it for yourself or sell it! In addition, tomorrow we will hold a banquet and invite all the people to come to the farm to celebrate the harvest!"
She succeeded!
Brother, did you see that? No one in our Yinshan Mountains will starve to death this winter!
We have fulfilled the conditions set by the Emperor, and next year the people should no longer have to serve in the army! Congratulations!
Next year she will continue her efforts to realize the people's dream of "eating white rice every meal" as soon as possible.
I hope God will protect me and prevent the war for succession from spreading to Yinshan County, which is still at the stage of solving the problem of food and clothing.
On Jun Mo's side, the guards soon brought news that Yu Jiuer's rice yield was 400 kilograms per mu.
After Deputy General Wei finished his report, he looked up at his own prince, and felt that the eyes of the prince, who had always been calm and abstinent, seemed to be illuminated by a bright light.
"Your Highness, we have been so busy recently that we have forgotten about this young county magistrate. I didn't expect that she has achieved such great success again. Should we meet her?" suggested aide Li Yun.
Jun Mo nodded, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and looked in the direction of the farm with an intriguing expression.
The next day, at the harvest banquet, Cheng Ming kept humming a little song: "Good harvest! Great harvest! The people are cheering for the good harvest! ..."
Yu Jiuer said mischievously: "Oh! Big brother, you look so happy, if someone didn't know you, they would think you found a wife."
"My wife search is not as amazing as yours! With an output of 400 kilograms per mu, you have made the emperor look at you with new eyes!" Cheng Ming was very proud. This was his sworn sister! So amazing!
"I dare not report the full amount of production. I just need to report enough to pass the emperor's assessment! If I report more, I will have to pay more grain tax. I am not stupid. We finally have enough grain to survive the winter this year. Do I think it is too much and want to give some away?" Yu Jiuer shook her head.
"Don't mention this again, it's enough for us to know about it! I wasn't there on the day the grain was weighed, otherwise I wouldn't have let the workers spread the news!"
Cheng Ming smiled and said, "It's not the workers' fault. Who wouldn't be excited about this once-in-a-century opportunity? Who can resist showing it off? You created a miracle this time!"
"We're just getting started! This is the harvest thanks to the careful care of the workers. Next year, when I develop hybrid rice, the yield will be amazing. It is expected to reach more than 800 kilograms!"
She is a time traveler standing on the shoulders of Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice.
Cheng Ming was surprised and said, "That's crazy! With that kind of output, do we in Xiguanying still need to tighten our belts every month and hope for food and fodder from the imperial court? We might as well send some of our people to farm with you!"
"Then big brother has to be prepared. If the harvest next autumn can be as good as I said, I hope big brother can bypass Pan Dutong and squeeze out some people to farm with me!" Yu Jiuer is full of confidence in the future.
As long as grain production increases and people are able to have enough food and clothing, the next step will be to focus on infrastructure and education.
She wanted to make Yinshan County shine in the Great Dong Dynasty, shock those who looked down on them, and create a peaceful and prosperous hometown for her descendants.
Her harvest banquet was even more grand than her housewarming party.
The people's eyes were filled with tears, they sang and danced, and they were reluctant to leave until midnight!
The haze in their hearts will be swept away with the joy of the harvest, and what will greet them is a promising future!
