After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

After talking about Li Xiangjian, Li Xiangping suddenly spoke again: "Mom, it is said that you contributed the most to the last disaster relief effort.

But why has the emperor not awarded the reward for so long?

Even the magistrate of Ling County was granted the title of Third-Rank Minister of Household Affairs for his contribution in disaster relief. "

Yan Qingqing laughed when she heard this and said, "My mother didn't donate the family property just for the emperor's reward.

As a member of Dayan, you still have to understand the meaning of death and coldness.

But you are right. Although I am not here for the emperor's reward, I do not deny that I still look forward to the emperor's reward.

Maybe the emperor felt that the previous two rewards were too much, and it is possible that he would not award them this time.

Of course, it is also possible that the emperor has other ideas.

Anyway, no matter what, we just need to be ourselves. "

It is impossible for Yan Qingqing to say that he does not expect a reward from the emperor.

What's more, when Magistrate Ling left, he also said that the emperor would definitely reward him.

Li Xiangping still nodded. In fact, he had been holding this in his mind for a long time.

He is now a member of the officialdom and is relatively well-informed.

He had heard about the promotion of County Magistrate Ling a long time ago, but he really hadn't heard about the emperor's reward for his mother, so he always felt a little uncomfortable.

He had always suspected whether his mother had made a wedding dress for someone else, but he did not dare to ask.

Li Xiangping was not stupid. Xiao Mochen had lived in their house for such a long time, and Yan Qingqing treated him with some respect in her intimacy. Li Xiangping had doubts about his identity.

In addition, the name of the newly promoted King Chen in the court has the character "Chen". The reason for being granted the title of Jin was because of his meritorious service to the soldiers in the northern border.

He could already conclude that this King Chen was Xiao Mochen.

But Xiao Mochen had lived in the Li family for such a long time. From Li Xiangping's heart, he didn't want to believe that Xiao Mochen would step on his mother to get the upper hand.

Yan Qingqing didn't know what Li Xiangping was thinking, and even if she really knew it, she wouldn't say anything.

After all, the most unpredictable point is the human heart. Even if Xiao Mochen remembers his relationship with the Li family now, he may not remember it in the future.

There is a kind of person who promises all kinds of good things when he is in trouble, but when one day he becomes prosperous, his old friends will only be an eyesore when he sees them again.

Because the old friend knows all his unhappiness.

Yan Qingqing only hoped that Xiao Mochen was not such a person.

Neither mother nor son mentioned the matter again. However, Yan Qingqing could feel that Li Xiangping was making progress in official affairs.

The Li family's wheat grows better, so it is the earliest to start harvesting.

Because the Li family has a lot of land, in addition to the long-term workers, Li Xiangping hired a group of temporary workers, and soon the wheat on the 4,000 acres of land was almost harvested.

After shelling and drying, the average yield per mu can reach 600 kilograms.

Not only did no one else think of this number, not even Li Xiangping himself thought of it.

You must know that the output in ancient times was really low, either due to pests or natural disasters, and the technology was not developed yet.

All the common people can do is to resign themselves to their fate.

Years of great disaster may result in no harvest.

Even if you can produce two to three hundred kilograms of grain per mu when the weather is good, that would be pretty good.

Now the Li family's farm produces 600 kilograms of grain, which is twice as much as other families.

This is serious food, how can it not shock people?

After Li Kaishan heard the news, he came to Li Xiangping with great joy.

However, Li Xiangping was so busy that he left early and returned late, so he couldn't see anyone at all.

In desperation, Li Kaishan could only find Yan Qingqing. Yan Qingqing heard that Li Kaishan came to see Li Xiangping and asked with a smile: "Uncle Mayor, you came to Xiangping to ask about the wheat yield in the fields?"

Li Kaishan nodded and replied: "That's right. To be honest, I have lived so long and farmed all my life, and I have never seen such a high yield of wheat per mu.

Except of course the sweet potatoes and potatoes you find. "

However, in Li Kaishan's heart, the high yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is really not as shocking as the 600 kilograms per mu of wheat.

Although the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is not comparable to that of wheat. But in the final analysis, these things cannot be eaten seriously.

Especially the sweet potatoes, they are indeed soft, glutinous, sweet and delicious when you first taste them, but if you eat them every day, you will feel a little heartburn, especially for the elderly with poor gastrointestinal problems, which will be more serious.

Of course, if there is a disaster or famine, Li Kaishan will definitely not be so picky. The main reason is that life in Canghe Town is different now.

Yan Qingqing smiled and said, "I will tell Xiang Ping when he comes back.

In fact, compared to the mayor Shu Xiangping, he is still very inexperienced.

The high yield per mu in my land depends on fertilizer and water conservancy.

He has already reported this matter to the emperor, but the emperor had not yet come to implement it due to the great disaster and plague last year.

This is also the first year that our family has carried out practical operations. I will ask Xiang Ping to share these methods with everyone later.

I hope that the people of Canghe Town and even Chengyang County can benefit. "

Li Kaishan was very happy after hearing this. He knew that Yan Qingqing was generous. She will not refuse anything that is beneficial to the people.

Finally, Li Kaishan also revealed a piece of news to Yan Qingqing, saying that they were going to the county for a meeting and that the new county magistrate would be taking office in the next few days.

Yan Qingqing nodded after hearing this. Ling Ziyuan had already left Chengyang County. The new county magistrate was supposed to take office a few days ago, and it was already too late to postpone it until now.

I just don’t know what kind of character the new county magistrate is. Can they live in peace.

However, Yan Qingqing is not worried about this matter. His rank is kept here. Even if he is worried, it is the new county magistrate who is worried.

After Li Xiangping came back in the evening, Yan Qingqing told him that Li Kaishan came to see him today.

Li Xiangping smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I know about this.

I will take some time another day and ask the village chief to organize the good farmers in our town, and I will tell them high-yield methods.

By the way, I also exchanged experiences with them.

Regarding farming matters, after all, my son is still young and has many shortcomings, so he needs to ask them for advice. "

It is rare that Li Xiangping, as a peasant official, is not arrogant or impetuous, nor does he look down on the common people who face the loess with their backs to the sky. Yan Qingqing is very pleased about this. After all, you can't forget your roots.

Yan Qingqing nodded and said with a smile: "Farming is no different than other jobs, it is always harder than other jobs.

Especially with the recent bumper harvest, although I am happy, it is harder than ever.

You have to know how to combine work and rest. "

Li Xiangping is now busy working out early in the morning and coming back late every day, exposed to the wind and sun in the fields.

Especially during the recent period, in addition to being busy with government affairs, I am also busy with matters in my own land.

Li Xiangping was tanned all over. Although he was just twenty years old, he looked thirty years old.

Walking next to Yan Qingqing, people who don't know him would definitely not think that they are mother and son.

Li Xiangping knew that Yan Qingqing was concerned about him and said with a smile: "I originally planned to organize the village chiefs to study after the new county magistrate arrived.

But I don’t know when the new county magistrate will arrive, and I don’t know what his character will be.

Since the mayor is so anxious, let’s study first. We’ll talk about the rest later. "
