Sign in and get rich in farming

Time flies by like a white horse, quickly passing through the rings of the tree, and in the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

"Dad, Mom! Hurry up~" Yu Hongdou leaned on the car door and looked out. Seeing her parents walking towards her leisurely, she couldn't help feeling anxious.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" A hand reached out from behind Yu Hongdou and gently grabbed her neck and dragged her backwards.

"Oh, brother, why are you so anxious!" Yu Hongdou raised her hand and grabbed the arm that was strangling her, pinching it hard, but she leaned back easily.

This time, the whole family goes on a group trip again after two years, and it's such a big thing as accompanying someone to take the exam, how could she not be excited.

When Yu Hongdou thought about what had happened in the past few years, she could not help but sigh at the cruel fate.

Who could have thought that in just a few short years, the Yu family, an "ordinary" villager from Taoyuan Village, would prosper, not only rising from ordinary villagers to officials, but their descendants would also strive to do well and embark on the road to success in the imperial examinations?

Yu Sanlang became a county lieutenant and had no time to take care of the pepper and ginger grown in Taoyuan Village. In the end, he could only entrust them to his father, brothers and the village chief.

Unfortunately, Yu Erlang was obsessed with helping Yu Wangzhai to undertake the work of spare parts, and had privately expanded two small workshops.

Yu Sanlang could only leave the task of recording the growth status of pepper and ginger to his nephew Yu Li.

These two things are relatively easy to grow crops. The land in Taoyuan Village is fertile, and the weather was good this year. When the harvest came in autumn, the whole Taoyuan Village was filled with joy.

Nearly 1,000 kilograms of pepper and more than 3,000 kilograms of ginger were harvested, which shocked even the rich man Tan Bailu.

Now the market price of ginger is 20 wen per pound, and the price of peppercorns has reached 60 wen per pound.

These things didn't even have the chance to hit the market before they were directly collected as military supplies at market prices. The foreign tribes in the northwest and northeast were eyeing them covetously, and the imperial troops stationed there were training every day!

According to the planting contract signed at the beginning, Taoyuan Village obtained a huge fortune.

The village chief took the lead in finding someone to build a wide platform road leading directly to the county town and the two nearby towns, and then distributed the dividends equally to each household, and almost every household built a new house.

Both Mr. Yu and Yu Li, who was responsible for taking over Yu Sanlang's planting diary, were rewarded. Mr. Yu received a plaque with the words "A Family of Good Deeds" written by the prefect himself.

Yu Li was also praised for his "meticulous and thorough work" and was assigned the responsibility to continue following up on the records of planting other types of medicinal herbs.

After three years of examination, one can be promoted to Doctor of Agriculture. Although he is not ranked, he can receive a monthly salary. At that time, the people who came to propose marriage almost broke down the threshold of his house.

After her daughter got married, Sun immediately arranged a marriage for her son with a family surnamed Lan in Wangzhuangtou, and they got married the following year.

The father and son of the second wife made money and gained fame respectively, so the future of the third and fourth wives is self-evident.

Old Master Yu thought for a long time, and finally sighed, and dragged up Yu Dalang and Yu Zhen who had been staying in the old house.

He forced them to memorize prescriptions and practice preparing medicinal materials every day, and also sent Yu Zhen to various old friends to learn medical skills for half a year in turn.

At the end of the year, Liu's parents returned to Taoyuan Village and brought a boy to the Yu family.

He is Yu Zhen’s eldest son. Grandpa Yu named him Zhi, hoping that the child would become an upright and progressive person in the future.

The following spring, Yu Dalang and Zhang gave birth to another son, whom they named Xiang.

Now that he had a younger son, he no longer cared much about his older son and the eldest grandson born to Liu.

Yu Zhen looked at the different treatments from his parents and took care of the child for a few days without saying a word.

Suddenly he told Mr. Yu that he was going to get married and had already chosen his wife, a young widow from Taoxi Village.

Old Master Yu asked someone about it and found that the other party was indeed a good person, so he quickly decided on the marriage, a month earlier than his second grandson Yu Li's wedding.

The new girl is not only capable of handling affairs, but is also fertile. In the first year after she got married, she gave birth to twin daughters, and now she is pregnant with another baby and is about to give birth.

Compared to the Yu family, the village chief is the biggest beneficiary of this medicinal herb planting. Not only did he receive rewards from above, but he also blessed his eldest son Gao Hongyang.

After receiving the evaluation of "a good man who never forgets his roots" from the prefect, Gao Hongyang would not be dragged down by Li Ru's previous incident when he took the imperial examination again.

But Gao Hongyang did not end up in trouble. He was very happy working as the chief clerk in Yunhai County. He also remarried a local wife and had a pair of children.

Even though Yu Sanlang got away halfway, the credit for growing pepper and ginger was still attributed to him from the beginning.

However, since he was a commoner and had just been promoted to county lieutenant, it would be difficult for him to be promoted. After Tan Bailu asked him, he directly asked for some substantial rewards.

As a result, the third wife's assets doubled, and she also had an additional house and a shop in the county (provincial capital).

Three years ago, Yu Song passed the boy's exam, county exam, prefectural exam and academy exam smoothly and successfully left the farming family to become a scholar.

Although his grades were average, Master Shang and Tan Bailu, as his teacher and senior brother, both gave him great affirmation. This was because this disciple (junior brother) had only been studying for a short time.

All in all, Yu Song had only studied with Master Shang for a little over a year.

The master does not necessarily require his disciples to be the best. No matter how high or low the results are, as long as they pass, it proves that the disciples have not learned in vain.

This year is Yu Song's first time to take part in the provincial examination.

The provincial examination was held every three years in the prefecture or county (provincial capital). Yu Sanlang took a leave of absence and prepared to accompany the examinee in person.

When Yu Hongdou found out about it, she insisted on going too. All three of them wanted to go, and they couldn't leave the hostess behind, so the whole family went on an outing.

"The carriage has been modified, but the teacher is still unwilling to come out. He is truly a stay-at-home." Yu Hongdou muttered as he leaned against the car window and watched the farm getting smaller and smaller.

"With Master Wen not around, Master Mo naturally becomes lazy. Fortunately, Wangwang is at home with him so he doesn't feel lonely." Yu Song knew that his sister was worried and comforted her.

Wen Daozhi stayed at Zhuangzi for two years. When Yu Song passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he left and traveled in the south.

Mo Shougui has no relatives or friends, and has always stayed by his little disciple's side. Over the years, the master and disciple have become as close as grandfather and grandson.

In recent years, the master and apprentice have worked together to design seven or eight new toys, reduce the vibration of the carriage, design new carriages, and improve comfort as much as possible.

After the carriage was designed, Yu Hongdou knew that it was impossible for Yu Wangzhai to take over this business with his ability.

She promptly sent the blueprints to Tan Mengao, a wealthy man in Beijing, and asked him to find a few businesses to hold a small auction.

Unexpectedly, the lantern designed by the master and apprentice for the convenience of carriages at night was favored by the military, and Yu Wangzhai once again caught the emperor's eye.

The emperor, whose taste had evolved from that of an elementary school student to that of an elderly person, ate colorful frosted candies and milk slices, ate super soft milk bread, drank milk tea, and his curiosity about the third branch of the Yu family was raised to a higher level.

So when he heard that the nephews and nieces of the Tan family were going to visit relatives and travel, the semi-retired old emperor dressed incognito and followed those little boys on the journey to Wu'an County.
