The villagers gathered in an open space near Li Zheng's home.

Yang Yuanzu exchanged candy with a villager for a stool to signal Lin Ting'an to sit down, but Lin Ting'an had a mysophobia and did not sit down.

Yang Yuanzu suddenly remembered that his wife had mysophobia. When he came to pick him up and take him back to Lin's house, he didn't even sit on the stool that Yang Huahua brought.

If my wife doesn't sit down, I sit alone.

So Yang Yuanzu shamelessly sat down, and Lin Ting'an stood next to him and listened to Li Zheng's speech.

Li Zheng said loudly: "I called everyone here today for two reasons. The first one is that the weather is hot this year. When we were harvesting grain in our village, as many as sixteen people fell ill from heat stroke, and one person was not saved...

What I want to ask you here is whether our early rice should be changed to medium rice, so that we can plant it in April and harvest it in September to avoid the hottest summer. "

Some in the crowd agreed and some opposed.

What I agree with is that people who have heatstroke patients at home have concerns about heatstroke.

Most of the people who objected were those who wanted to rob both sides.

Yang Yuanzu didn't know the meaning of double robbery, so he asked Lin Ting'an.

Lin Ting'an said that double grabbing means harvesting two waves of rice. Although he is a businessman, he also understands such a big event as double grabbing.

In July, the early rice harvested in mid-March is quickly harvested and then the late rice is planted immediately. The late rice planting cannot be past the beginning of August. When the late rice matures in October or November in autumn, another wave of grain can be harvested.

But every year, people die of heatstroke due to accidents caused by double grabbing.

Medical conditions were poor in ancient times, and severe heat stroke is a problem in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

Think about modern heat stroke, which can really kill people.

Moreover, many people here do not have money for medical treatment. As long as people with mild heat stroke can still move, they will run to the fields.

There are harvesters and threshers at the same time, so things are more likely to go wrong.

The villagers fell silent when they heard someone died.

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Li simply said directly, "Next year's early rice will be changed to medium rice. If someone forces the planting of double rice, I will not object. I will bear the heatstroke casualties on my own."

After the dust settled on the first thing, the second thing was the field tax. Li Zheng then announced: "After the summer harvest is over, the field tax will begin to be paid."

After the meeting was dismissed, the two of them walked back to Nancun.

Yang Yuanzu turned into one hundred thousand whys.

"This year's field tax will be paid in the summer, but next year it will be harvested in the autumn. When will the field tax be paid?"

"You don't even remember this because your head is smashed?"

Yang Yuanzu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"The field tax is naturally paid when the grain is harvested. The emperor is kind to farmers and only needs to pay the field tax once a year. The villagers can choose whether to pay it in summer or autumn."

*

The three farm tools made by Boss Mu were delivered to Yang Yuanzu's house in time after harvesting the grain.

Yang Yuanzu couldn't put it down when he touched this threshing machine. With it, he could speed up the threshing efficiency and no longer have to suffer from back pain.

When other villagers saw Yang Yuanzu using this in the fields, they all gathered around.

Seeing how convenient it was to thresh grain, they all asked Yang Yuanzu where he bought it.

Yang Yuanzu took advantage of the situation and made a wave of recommendations.

Because of the emergence of foot-operated threshing machines, the efficiency of autumn harvest in Fengping Village suddenly improved.

People in the village have finished harvesting the grain one after another, and are going from house to house to collect land tax and capitation tax.

When it was Yang Yuanzu's turn, some villagers who were watching the excitement followed him, saying they were here to help.

These were the people who originally opposed the fertilizer method.

As expected, he was the most aggressive and the quickest to slap in the face.

I’ve also been thinking about his family’s fields, don’t think he doesn’t know, huh!

The rice and wheat in the Yang family's fields grow fuller and denser than those in other families. They are all curious about how much yield this fertilizer method can increase.

Li Zheng and several villagers were weighing.

When the final result came out, Li Zheng was shocked and calculated it again.

Li Zheng: "This..."

Aunt Chen stepped forward anxiously: "What's wrong?"

The villagers came forward to take a look, but they couldn't understand what Li Zheng was writing on the paper. They could only raise their heads and look at Li Zheng, hoping that he would announce the quantity quickly.

"Aunt Chen's family has nine acres of land, totaling sixty-one stones!!!"

"What? In the past, Mrs. Chen's family only had twenty or thirty stones. How come this year... this fertilizer method is really so miraculous!"

Everyone was amazed.

"Why do you want to rob both parties if you have this method?"

"If this method could be used earlier, the person suffering from heat stroke this year..."

Yang Yuanzu frowned when he heard everyone's discussion.

He, who had always had a good temper, also became angry: "So what do you mean, we are wrong for that person's death?"

Yang Yuanzu knew that if some things were not explained clearly in advance, one would not know what these people would think and how they would spread the word!

Lin Ting'an glanced at Yang Yuanzu several times. He and Yang Yuanzu lived together day and night, and naturally he felt that Yang Yuanzu was different from usual.

Lin Ting'an rolled her eyes at the person who said stupid things.

The villager was still saying: "I didn't mean that, I meant if you had come up with this method earlier..."

Li Zheng decisively interrupted the villagers: "Shut up! Yuanzu, don't mind, he doesn't mean that."

Yang Yuanzu sneered and said lightly: "But this sounds like this to other people's ears. This is a recipe I found out by myself in the urine. Some people found it disgusting at first and couldn't bear to smell it. ."

He could remember the faces of these people at the beginning, but now that the benefits came out, he took it for granted that they were shared.

Aunt Chen also stood up and said: "My son told everyone that this method can increase income, but you didn't believe it and stopped me from doing it. You thought my house was unclean!"

Li Zheng also stood up and said: "This is something people figured out by themselves after soaking in shit. If you have the ability, do it yourself. The method Yang Yuanzu came up with is his own. Don't take it for granted that it is yours." of.

Yang Yuanzu is not the biological father or son of any of your families. Why should he hand over the methods he has worked so hard to study? Why should he hand over the money earned by others and the grain grown by others? "

This group of people broke Li Zheng's plan, and Li Zheng was a little angry.

If this group of people hadn't come today, he could still persuade Yang Yuanzu to contribute the fertilizer method with emotion and reason.

After Li Zheng collected the grain, he drove everyone out.

After everyone left, the family gathered around.

"What should I do? I'm afraid I'm going to be the target of public criticism now!" Lin Congan said worriedly.

"Brother, those people won't deal with us for this top-dressing method in the future, right?"

"Yes, son, what should I do?"

Yang Yuanzu Zou Mei thought for a moment, and then replied: "Now we can only disperse. If someone comes to visit our house in the future, don't refuse them. Give them this recipe. By then, we will not only have this fertilizer method." ”

Lin Ting'an agreed: "This method is feasible, and then those people will not just pester us."

Yang Huahua also wanted to use this method to make some money back, so Yang Yuanzu taught him how to lose money and avoid disaster.

Yang Yuanzu continued: "The villagers are not scary, I am worried about Li Zheng."

Aunt Chen was confused: "Didn't Li Zheng speak for us just now?"

"Mom, you know people but don't know their hearts." After Lin Ting'an finished speaking, he said to Yang Yuanzu: "Yuanzu, are you worried that Li Zheng will directly report the method to the government and let the government pressure us to hand it over?"

Yang Yuanzu replied: "There is a possibility. If the government comes forward because of him, everyone will only thank Li Zheng for the fertilizer method. It may be difficult for us." I am afraid that we will end up in a situation where everyone will complain.
