Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system
Chapter 250 Leading the tribe to survive in troubled times 13
Of course, this corn is the improved corn that Lin Jiu bought in the system mall. He can keep the seeds for himself. The so-called dream is just a reasonable explanation for the harvest of corn.
Lin Jiu is not afraid that some people will not believe her words. Chinese people may not believe in God, but they absolutely believe in their ancestors.
"Xiaojiu, do you remember what this seedling looks like? Did our ancestors tell you how to plant it and how to eat it?"
"It's a bit like sorghum, stronger than sorghum. The sorghum rice of sorghum grows on the top of the head, and there will be flowers like cowgrass on the top of the head. This spindle-like flower grows halfway up." Lin Jiu said while gesticulating. "When they are young, they are boiled in water and eaten directly. When they are old, they are ground into powder to make steamed buns, pancakes, and paste..."
"Then I guess this thing is similar to sorghum. Let's wait until grandpa studies how to plant it." Lin Boda said, preparing to move the basket of corn back to the ancestral hall.
"Corn, Ajiu, you found this thing."
"Sixth Young Master, do you know this thing? Ajiu found it in the mountains according to the instructions in his dream." Lin Boda saw that Qi Mingjing knew him, and thought that it was better now, and there was no need to study it.
Qi Mingjing glanced at Lin Jiu teasingly, and said in words that only the two of them could hear, "What? I'm not looking for foreign businessmen this time."
Lin Jiu knew that Qi Mingjing was talking about how Lin Jiu sent corn to her through foreign businessmen when they first met. She didn't expect that he would still remember it after so many years.
"Mingjing, you said this is corn, do you know how to grow it?" Lin Jiu pretended to be confused. As long as she didn't admit it, this corn was a gift from her ancestors.
"I know, I have been advised by experts to look for such high-yielding crops, but I have never found them for so many years. I didn't expect that Ajiu would find them today." Qi Mingjing said while helping to thresh the corn, "Let's go! I'll teach you how. For planting, we can plant about 100 acres of land here. I will take people into the mountains to search tomorrow to see if we can find more seeds."
Qi Mingjing knew that Lin Jiu would not just prepare a few high-yielding seeds.
"That's what I have in mind, Ming Jing, I will take you to find him tomorrow."
Lin Jiu and Qi Mingjing planted corn together. Originally, Lin Boda wanted to say something when he saw the two planting so sparsely, but he realized that he did not know how to plant it. Lin Jiu also said that the seedlings were stronger than sorghum. It's almost as rare as this.
Early the next morning, Qi Mingjing led a group of cronies and Lin Jiu into the mountain. This time they not only found corn, but also potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins, which were naturally moved down the mountain.
"They don't seem to be surprised by these things?" Lin Jiu looked at Qi Mingjing with some confusion.
"Ajiu, have I ever told you that I was born with the memories of Daqi?" Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"When you came up with these things, you mentioned where they were produced, but I was also thinking, maybe we have these things here too? It's just that they haven't been discovered for the time being, so I saw these things in my dreams when I was very young. I asked people to search for things, but found nothing. Ajiu, I have no intention of exploring your secrets. On the contrary, whatever you want to do in the future, feel free to do it boldly. I will always be your backing."
"Qi Mingjing, thank you."
After a week, all the seeds were planted in the ground.
"Second brother, it seems that it won't rain anymore. Starting tomorrow, let's use a car to haul water to water the wheat! We can't be late in pouring the grouting water." Lin Boda looked at the fiery red sky with a sad look on his face.
"Then I will repair the car and the barrel."
Early on the next morning, Lin Jiu and Lin Mu pushed their carts and barrels to the nearby pond to fetch water. Now that the drought had just begun to show some signs, there were not many people fetching water.
The old man and the younger children sat in the ground, waiting for the water to come. The old people used ladles to water the wheat.
On the second day, there were obviously more people fetching water, and some conflicts occurred during this period. If this continues, conflicts will break out sooner or later.
Fortunately, Qi Mingjing noticed this situation, and after reporting it to the superiors, Qi Xiuwen immediately sent soldiers to guard the major pools. Seeing the soldiers guarding them, the water fetchers consciously lined up to fetch water.
Half a month later, all the wheat was watered, but there was still no intention of raining that day.
Not only Zhending Mansion, but also other places have suffered from drought to some extent.
"Aunt Ninth, Zuzu asked you to go back." Lin Jiu was weeding the cornfield when she saw her eldest nephew running towards her quickly.
Lin Jiu put the young grass into the basket and then got up and went back.
"Brother Rui, is there something going on at home?"
"The generalissimo is here. I listened to what they said about the draft, marriage and so on."
Lin Jiu frowned slightly after hearing this, thinking that the Dog Emperor must be causing trouble again.
Back in the village, Lin Jiu first asked Lin Rui to carry grass to feed the donkey, while he went back to his room and changed his clothes again.
"I've met my uncle." When Lin Jiu arrived, Lin Boda and Qi Xiuwen were chatting happily. Most of the time, Lin Boda was talking and Qi Xiuwen was listening. At this time, he couldn't see the slightest bit of majesty as a generalissimo.
"Ninth Lady is here. I'm here to discuss your marriage with Jing'er." Qi Xiuwen also felt a little embarrassed. Originally, the two families had agreed to wait until Lin Jiu and Queen Hairpin to get married, but who knew that Jingzhong An unexpected incident occurred. Emperor Jiayou didn't know why he was cramping, so he had to search for beautiful girls among the people. All unmarried women between the ages of ten and eighteen are required to participate in the selection.
The person responsible for the selection in Zhending Mansion is one of Lin Xiang's disciples. Lin Xiang has had a feud with Lin Jiacun for a long time, so there is no guarantee that he will not use this incident to retaliate against Lin Jiacun.
"What happened?"
"After the new year, the official family suddenly became obsessed with the art of immortality, saying that they needed the blood of virgins to make elixirs. The official family has issued an order to send beautiful girls from all over the country to Beijing. All daughters of suitable age near the capital are already there. Get married during this period. The person who went to Zhending Mansion for selection belongs to Prime Minister Lin’s party. Now he is on his way. I have sent someone to intercept him. I will take advantage of this period to hold your wedding with Jing’er first. There are people at home. Daughters of the right age should quickly find suitable families to get married. As long as a woman gets married, these people can't snatch civilian wives by force."
Qi Xiuwen was increasingly dissatisfied with the current imperial court, but his wife, eldest son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all in the capital, so he had to worry about whatever he wanted to do.
"Ninth Lady, I just discussed with the marshal. The date for you and Mingjing's child will be set in seven days. The Qi family will marry you on the grounds that General Qi's old injury has relapsed and he needs to celebrate. The matter is urgent and wronged. It's you." Lin Boda said to Lin Jiu with some guilt. After all, with the reputation of being a happy person, he would be shorter no matter how he looked.
"Grandpa also said that the matter should be urgent, and Jiumei doesn't feel aggrieved."
