Continuous stream

Shen Yunxi nodded and said: "It should be no problem. If you don't believe me, we will start digging now. In any case, we can't dig so much land in three or two days. In addition, our rice is mature and should be harvested Until then, we have to dig sweet potatoes at the door, turn them into threshing floors, and dry the rice."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Lu felt that Shen Yunxi was right. "Okay, let's not dig in the ground first, but dig out these sweet potatoes in front of our house. After all, there should be a threshing floor."

In the past, almost every household in Lihua Village planted sweet potatoes at the door. Now it is said that people do not need to dig in the ground, but dig at the door first. They start digging early in the morning.

Of course, there are also government officials sent by Magistrate Lu here.

After simple drying, they are continuously transported to the county for storage. These sweet potatoes grow very well because they are grown at home, weeded and drained diligently, and a lot of fertilizers are used.

In particular, Shen Yunxi's sweet potatoes have a better yield this time, reaching more than 7,000 kilograms. Some sweet potatoes have a good yield, five to six thousand kilograms, and some have poor yields, four to five thousand kilograms.

Since it was for the ministers in the capital to see, it would of course depend on the level of output. The county magistrate Mr. Lu immediately stopped Shen Yunxi's family from digging the remaining one and eighty acres of land, leaving it to the ministers in the capital to dig.

Other people are digging sweet potatoes in full swing, and there is an endless stream of trucks transporting sweet potatoes.

The business of the Seven Widows' tea stall is much better. Not only the county officials drink tea, but the coachmen also drink tea, and so do the surrounding villages. Earning one or two hundred coins a day is better than working for others.

It has to be said that cats have their own ways, dogs have their own ways, and smart people have many ways to make money. If the seven widows all focus on making money and running a family, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can live a happy life .

Shen Yunxi was worried that the rice in the field would mature and not be harvested in time, which would affect the yield, so he dug more than an acre of sweet potato field and the remaining open space in the yard, leveled it, and then compacted it with stones to make a rice paddy. threshing floor.

Mr. Lu had nothing to do. Under the leadership of Shen Yunxi, the head of Hetian Village, he went to the rice fields to have a look.

Mr. Lu was stunned when he saw it.

He was born in a big family. Before he became an official, although he was not industrious or indifferent to grains, he was not proficient in farming. After hearing that the imperial envoy Zhang Zhao came to Shanyang County, he actively did various things.

He not only manages the business in the county and the public security in various places, but also walks around the fields and listens to the old farmers talking about the affairs of the land.

He has seen local rice ears, but they are not that big. But the rice ears in the former Lihua Village are not only big, but also full of grains. Picking one is very heavy in your hand.

Mr. Lu waved his hand and said to the guard beside him: "Go to the rice fields in other villages and help me pick ten ears of rice."

Although the guard was confused, the lord gave the order. He immediately rode to the neighboring village.

Village Chief Tian was very proud. He knew that Magistrate Lu wanted to compare the ears of rice in their rice fields with the ears of rice in other villages. The result was undoubtedly that the ears of rice in their village were bigger.

Because he and Tian Ergou often go to other villages to compete after the rice ears.

Once, he secretly grabbed rice ears and was regarded as a thief. He was chased for several miles.

Tian Daniu unconsciously brought Master Lu to his rice field. He was generous, eloquent, and neither humble nor haughty in front of the county magistrate.

"Mr. Lu, there are still fish in my rice fields. The fish I ate at the village chief's house this afternoon were the popcorn fish I raised in the rice fields. Those that grew up eating insects, rice flowers and algae in the rice fields, whether cooked
