The rainy season in the Hanzhong Basin is two months later than in the Yangtze River Basin.

It is the beginning of the seventh month of the lunar calendar that corn has begun to pollinate, and rice should be harvested one after another twenty days.

Zhu Guoxiang got up after putting on his clothes and the word "Happy" was posted on the wall.

Chen Yourong is still sleeping, so sleepy that he never gets up early for the first time.

President Zhu lost his wife for ten years and had no problem with his work style. After traveling through time, his physical condition improved. He had been having sex for most of the night last night.

While brushing my teeth, I happened to meet Grandma Yan.

Grandma Yan smiled and praised: "Young people have good physical strength."

“Uh… OK.”

A very ordinary sentence made Zhu Guoxiang quite embarrassed.

Chen Yourong was still very reserved and couldn't resist Dean Zhu's fierceness. He shouted very loudly in the second half. Don't expect the sound insulation effect of this broken thatched hut.

It was not until he was about to eat that Chen Yourong put on his clothes and came out. He kept blushing and bowed his head to see others, but just silently scattered the rice.

After breakfast, Zhu Guoxiang took Bai Qi out and came to the newly built village school.

It is said to be a village school, just a few thatched huts.

There were exactly ten students, the oldest was 11 years old, and the youngest was only 6 years old. Even if Zhu Guoxiang was not allowed to carry the children, the villagers were unwilling to send them because the age of children could help mow the grass.

Among these students, there are only two, not children of the Bai family and their clan.

After waiting for a while, he found that one student was missing. Zhu Guoxiang asked, "Where is Bai Zhen?"

A little brat raised his hand: "Bai Zhen is sick."

Zhu Guoxiang was too lazy to ask more questions and said, "If you don't learn calligraphy this morning, go with me to the mountains to learn farmers."

After hearing this, the nine children cheered.

Behind his butt, Zhu Guoxiang was walking up the mountain. When he arrived at the cornfield, many tenants were waiting there.

Zhu Guoxiang whispered to the tenants: "People are divided into men and women, animals are divided into male and female, and the crops are divided into male and female. Seeing that there is no one on the top of the corn stalk? The one that blooms is the man, and the pollen is the man's seed. The one who draws silk below is the woman. The pollen falls on the silk. Even if the man and the woman are in a house, they can produce grain. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

The tenants laughed as they spoke. Several middle-aged women laughed very loudly, while the little women blushed and didn't say anything.

Zhu Guoxiang continued: "This corn is usually pollinated by the wind. But we don't grow much, we rely on the wind to be matchmakers. Some men can't get a wife, and some women can't marry men. So, we should be matchmakers at this time."

The tenants all understood such a popular description and found it particularly interesting.

Zhu Guoxiang called the heads of these tenants: "Zeng Da, I may move out next year. You have a good mind. You must remember what I said today. Who doesn't understand next year? You have to teach them."

"I remember!"

Zeng Da was quite excited and thought that he had become the first disciple of Xianggong Zhu.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Even if there are too many corns, the wind is enough, but if the weather is particularly hot, the corn pollination still depends on people. Well... it seems that it is too hot to bear it, and I don't have the heart to do that when I hold a woman at night."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone laughed again when they heard this, and Zeng Da also turned his head to look at his wife.

Really, there is no need to recite it deliberately. Everyone present remembers it firmly. It’s just that the weather is too hot, people don’t want to have sex, and corn doesn’t want to have sex.

Zhu Guoxiang said again: "This is a man. The couple likes to do business in the evening, but corn likes to do business in the morning. Two or three quarters of a year, and two or three quarters of a year, it is the time when corn is most willing to bridal chamber. If you want to make more food, you should be a matchmaker for corn at this time. The wedding period is not long, only seven or eight days. If you miss the auspicious day of the zodiac, corn will not be able to give birth to children."

Nine elementary school students looked at Teacher Zhu in a daze, but they could understand half or not.

Zhu Guoxiang made twenty powder collectors, made of bamboo poles, wooden boards and linen bags. He first demonstrated how to get powder, and then distributed the powder collector to everyone, supervising and teaching them step by step.

After the tenants took the pollen from this land, Zhu Guoxiang began to teach again: "These are pollen, these are powder capsules, and these are Yinghu. We use the corn as a medium, just pollen, and don't have anything else. Take the sieve, sifting out the pollen, and removing excess debris."

The tenants learned very seriously, which was related to their future food and clothing.

After sifting the pollen, Zhu Guoxiang took out his home-made pollinator.

This thing is made of bamboo tubes, with a few small holes opened and the pollen was sprinkled out by shaking. During pollination, part of the filaments should be cut off. Zhu Guoxiang said while pollinating: "It is not easy to be a matchmaker on rainy days. You usually go to visit and don't go out on rainy days. If you pollinate corn, you should choose a good weather and marry a matchmaker."

After the tenants have learned it, go to another small piece of land and repeat all the procedures just now.

It was not until the tenant confirmed that he had completely mastered that Zhu Guoxiang left the powder collector and pollinator and reminded him: "Remember, the wedding period is only seven or eight days. Come here every morning to serve as a matchmaker for corn. It is best to go from two minutes to two minutes to two minutes!

"I remember!" the tenants shouted.

Zhu Guoxiang smiled and said, "You guys are busy, don't send me down the mountain."

As a representative of the tenant, Zeng Da sent Zhu Guoxiang down the mountain. He had already claimed to be the eldest disciple of Xianggong Zhu.

When they returned to the village school, the students were sent home and had to come to continue the class in the afternoon.

Bai Yu and a few cousins ​​jumped out of school and went back to report the morning lessons to his grandfather.

Bai Zongwang asked, "What did you learn today?"

Bai Yu replied: "Sir, take us up the mountain to be a matchmaker for corn."

"Be a matchmaker?" Bai Zongwang was a little confused.

Bai Yu explained: "It's just that corn is going to get married, we want to be a matchmaker for corn."

Old Bai Man Wai seems to... understand.

He sent his grandson away, called Lu An, the son of the housekeeper, and ordered: "You don't have to do anything else these days, go to the mountain to see how the tenants serve the corn."

"yes!"

Lu An has been learning to farm with Zhu Guoxiang and is almost becoming a rice planting expert.

As the days pass by day, it is the rice harvesting season in a blink of an eye.

The whole village is busy, with joy and nervousness. Because the arrival of autumn harvest means that the autumn grain should be paid.

The positive fu in summer and autumn is actually not much, just about 10% (calculated by fields, etc.), which farmers can fully afford.

What I am really afraid of is to pay heavy taxes, which are always collected with food taxes. Miscellaneous taxes are often several times the regular tax!

Today, in the Song Dynasty, the fire is cooking oil and flowers are blooming.

The Hehuang region expanded thousands of miles of land, and the Western Xia was always suppressed and beaten, and the Liao Kingdom gradually became weaker. The ministers in the court sang hymns, saying that the Song Dynasty had entered a peaceful and prosperous era.

Since the Song Dynasty is so glorious, the government should also enjoy it.

This year, the palace has newly built Baohe Hall, with 75 houses, which are so magnificent. Various classics, history, and literature collections have been moved to Baohe Hall for collection. Song Huizong also collected literary, calligraphy and paintings across the country, so he had to fill up so many new houses, right?

Baohe Palace is nothing, and this year the new Yanfu Palace has been completed.

The area is not large, smaller than the original palace.

Probably the area of ​​the imperial palace in the Northern Song Dynasty almost doubled. The atmosphere of the prosperous era!

Since it was a prosperous era, the old rituals of the Tang Dynasty could not be used, and they were not worthy of the unique temperament of the Song Dynasty. Song Huizong personally wrote the copy and handed it over to the Announcement Bureau for improvement. Therefore, the Kaiyuan rituals were abolished, and the court replaced the Song Dynasty's political and Five Etiquettes.

The palace has been expanded and the etiquette and law have been revised, and there must be corresponding identity supporting facilities.

Song Huizong was summoned by the Supreme Lord in his dream. Laojun sat in the hall and said to Song Huizong: "You should flatter God's orders and revitalize my religion."

So Song Huizong issued an edict to find Taoist scriptures across the country. He wanted to establish a Taoist school and compile the "History of Taoism". He didn't know if any of the staff members were named Huang Shang who wrote a book called "Nine Yin Scriptures" when he went to work.

In addition, Song Huizong also ordered that Taoist priests all over the world should be evaluated for professional titles.

The professional title of Taoist priest is being formulated, and there will be a level 26 and a level 26 of Taoist priests.

A wild Taoist priest named Wang Laozhi did not even have a certificate of tribute. He was originally a Shandong civil servant, claiming to have been taught by Zhongli Zhenren, so he was recruited into the capital by Song Huizong. He was first given the title of "Anbo Chushi", and then named "Mr. Dongwei", and gave him a mansion to be neighbors with Cai Jing. There were endless visitors to the dynasty's important officials.

In addition, Dingzhou was upgraded to Zhongshan Prefecture, Suzhou was upgraded to Pingjiang Prefecture, and Runzhou was upgraded to Zhenjiang Prefecture. This kicked off the prelude to the prefecture of Huizong's Chaozhou Prefecture. The more prefecture-level administrative regions, the richer the world!

At the most, the Northern Song Dynasty had 37 prefectures across the country, of which 22 were promoted by Emperor Huizong of Song. The number of prefectures he built was even more than the total of the other emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty. In addition to sounding more glorious and increasing administrative expenses, it seemed...it was useless.

The people of the world are bathed in holy grace and happiness.

The people of Shangbai Village are also very happy. The government did not urge to collect taxes owed in previous years. This year's miscellaneous levies are inexplicably more.

For example, if the ox tendon is collected by the fifth-class household and seventh-class household, the 4th-class household has to pay one. If there is no ox tendon, it is fine to convert it into money, and it is said that it is sent to the northwest to make bows and arrows.

When the rice was dried and returned to the warehouse, Lu An came happily to report: "Master, the field planted by Mr. Zhu (about 0.4 acres) this year, I have harvested 154 kilograms of millet (not rice)!"

"How much was last year?" Bai Zongwang asked.

Lu An replied: "Not 120 kilograms."

In ancient times, when rice fields were calculated per mu, it was sometimes "produced several stones" and sometimes it was "produced several stones from the valley".

According to the unshelled rice, the per mu yield of paddy fields in the Song Dynasty was roughly as follows: 100 kilograms in the Yellow River Basin, 200 kilograms in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, 300 kilograms in the Huainan area, 300-360 kilograms in Fujian in eastern Zhejiang, and 540-630 kilograms in Taihu area.

The rice yield per mu in Hanzhong is comparable to that in Huainan and eastern Zhejiang.

"It's really an immortal method!"

Bai Zongwang was overjoyed when he heard this. The rice field that Zhu Guoxiang commanded to cultivate was less than half acre, and he could harvest more than 30 kilograms of millet, which was equivalent to an increase of 70 kilograms per mu!

Old Bai Yuanwai couldn't sit still and asked, "When will the corn on the mountain be harvested?"

Lu An replied: "The seeds have already been born. Mr. Zhu said that you can cook tender corn and eat it. But I'm afraid you have to wait another twenty days before harvesting."

"Then I'll wait." Bai Zongwang was a little excited.
