Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

Seeing that Zhang He didn't deny it, Xia Jiniang couldn't help feeling sour when she thought that there were others coveting Zhang He, and said, "Don't see her again in the future."

Zhang He's first thought when he thought of Jiang Nu was to avoid contact with her when he saw her in the future. When Xia Jiniang said so, she nodded hastily.In this place full of straight steel girls, it was her greatest luck to meet Xia Jiniang since she came here, so how could she disappoint Xia Jiniang!

Xia Jiniang felt relieved, and suddenly remembered something important, and said: "One more thing, the security chief came over after you left today, and said that you promised to give him some potato seedlings. I don't know how many seedlings you promised him, so I asked him first I’ve gone back, and I’ll send it to him when you come back.”

"Well, I'll send it to him."

Zhang He picked a bundle of sweet potato seedlings that took root in the water. There are more than 30 seedlings here. If you take care of them carefully, it is estimated that more than 20 seedlings can survive the first planting.

Although compared with the large-scale planting of later generations, as long as these more than 20 plants can grow well, there will be several times the number of seedlings that can be sown in the coming year.She herself has more than 2000 seedlings left, planting one acre.

After the sweet potatoes were planted, the Double Ninth Festival passed in full of excitement.

The north wind gradually picked up, and the bamboo leaves began to wither, and pieces of withered and yellow leaves fell into the huge bamboo forest.The autumn wind blows, and the yellowed leaves fall on the surface of the Qinghe River, causing ripples in circles.

October is the time when the yellow rice is full and full, and the autumn harvest is in full swing in the fields.

There are a few more households growing late rice in Qinghe Village than last year. Some of these families borrowed rice seeds from Aunt Li's family, and some bought rice seeds from Zhang He. They all hoped for a bumper harvest to reduce the burden of autumn taxes.

But what they expected, although they planted late rice, the yield was much higher than the grain seeds they kept at home, so that those who had questioned Zhang He's grain seeds before couldn't hold on any longer and came to beg Zhang He one after another. Cranes lent or sold grain seed to them.

Although some people buy from other people, they always feel that only buying from Zhang He is the purest and free from impurities.And now, Zhang He no longer seriously considers who he wants to sell the rice seeds to. After all, Linchuan County may be planted with these rice seeds in the coming year, and these rice seeds are not uncommon.

So they sold a lot when they were still willing to pay a high price. This is different from her intention to promote high-quality conventional rice. Within the scope of those people's conditions, she only took what she should get. .

On the other hand, Shi Qing personally took people to the townships of Linchuan County to register the output of the families who had borrowed young seedlings from the government. Except for a few families who mixed in their own grain seeds, the output was only about three shi. Without exception, there are three stones and five fights.

This news caused the county magistrate of Linchuan County to change his indifferent attitude in the past. He asked Shi Qing to come and check all the recorded documents, and he was overjoyed.

At the beginning, Shi Qing borrowed more than 500 stone grains from the government, besides the ones planted by the Liu Shen army in the official field, there were also three or four hundred stones, which amounted to several thousand mu.The total amount of thousands of acres adds up to nearly [-] shi, and [-] shi is already the output of [-] mu of land in the old year.

If there is a grade in the exam, there is also an entrance exam.And on the premise that there is no error in ordinary duties, and there is no decrease in household registration, you can only enter the first-class examination if the agricultural harvest increases by one-fifth, and anyone who has a middle-level or above in the examination can be promoted. Gallo.

Because of Shi Qing's persistence, even the county magistrate's achievements have improved a lot, so he is naturally very happy.

Tong Liyu, the governor of Fuzhou, also discovered from the documents submitted by the county magistrate and Liu Canjun that Linchuan County had a bumper harvest this autumn, so he summoned Liu Canjun to ask, and he found out that Liu Canjun had previously forced the people to borrow young crops in order to let them all Plant such grains.

At the beginning, the common people were always skeptical and displeased with this, but once they found out the good harvest, they immediately changed their attitude and talked about the goodness of this kind of grain, which led to the rapid spread of the name of the kind of grain in Linchuan and neighboring counties. Come.

Tong Liyu asked Liu Canjun, "Isn't this rice Huang Xinghe?"

Liu Canjun was also not very clear: "This does not seem to be Huang Hehe, but a gentleman of the Zhang family who offered it to Linchuan County Shixian Wei to plant it for the first time, and then lent this kind of grain to the common people."

"The Zhang family?"

"It is the Zhang family in Zhangjiazhuang. He is Zhang Shaoqing's nephew, and he is now in Qinghe Village."

Tong Liyu pondered for a while, then said: "Then this rice is called 'Qinghe Rice'?"

"Yes, County Captain Shi thinks it comes from Qinghe Village, and it is most appropriate to name it after Qinghe Village."

Tong Liyu nodded, and said, "At the moment, only a few thousand acres are planted, which is still a little less. This year's autumn tax will allow Linchuan County to pay rice instead of seedlings."

Instead of buying from the people, he might as well collect the rice in the form of autumn tax and lend it to the people in Fuzhou counties. In this way, it is also in line with the rules of the court.

"But in this way, is it also collected by the number of buckets of Miao Mi?"

"There is no need to change the number of seedlings in other places, and the rice in Linchuan County will be charged by one bucket."

Although the paddy has been charged extra, when the paddy is pounded into rice, the tax left over is exactly the same as the tax on seedling rice.Besides, many places in Linchuan County had a bumper harvest, and he didn't ask for additional taxes, which was enough to make the people of Linchuan County cheer.

Naturally, Si Tian joined the army to handle this matter. Liu Canjun remembered the potatoes mentioned by Zhang He, and said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Erlang of the Zhang family is also a well-behaved young man who is also quite capable in farming. No one knew about a kind of taro, but he was very interested in it, so he took the taro back to cultivate. As a result, after careful cultivation, he really planted it and compiled it into a book."

Like most people, when Tong Liyu heard about taro, he was obviously not very interested. He asked casually, "What kind of taro is that?"

"He named the taro, called 'potato'. It is a kind of taro that only needs one potato to grow dozens of new potatoes, which can fill half of the grain. If there is a natural disaster, the people will be short of food , These yams can save the famine and satisfy the hunger of the people.”

In recent years, there has been no news of any major natural disasters, and the weather in Fuzhou is even more favorable. Many people are a little slow to "relieve the famine".It's just that Tong Liyu was an official in Huainan Road, and he saw a severe drought, and the people had no income. Even if the court reduced taxes and opened warehouses to provide disaster relief, it was of no avail, so he dared not ignore this problem.

He said, "I want to see him in person."

"The lower official will send someone to arrange it."

Zhang He was stunned when he heard that the governor was going to see him. If she remembered correctly, the governor was a senior official of the fourth rank, equivalent to the modern city party secretary.Whether it is the secretary of the municipal party committee or the governor, Zhang He has never had contact with them in his life, so he is inevitably a little nervous.

She said: "Ji Niang, you can go to Fuzhou City with me, with you as my company, I won't be nervous."

Xia Jiniang laughed "puchi" and said, "Why is Erlang nervous? In terms of official rank, the difference between Uncle and him is only one rank, but he is an official in Beijing. Erlang should have gotten used to it by now, right?"

"Ji Niang is right! It's just that we haven't entered the city for a long time, so this time we will go to the city together. I also want to buy a horse."

Zhang He acted coquettishly. Although his voice had not recovered, his tone was so soft that Xia Jiniang couldn't bear to refuse.She said: "I will only accompany you into the city, but then I will wait for you at Auntie's place, you have to go to the Governor's Mansion by yourself."

"it is good!"

After Xia Jiniang accepted, Zhang He thought that Zhang Xian might not have visited the Liu family for a long time, so he and Xia Jiniang took him to the Zhang family's mansion in Fuzhou City.Unfortunately, Zhang Yan was also at home this time, and he rarely gave Zhang He a good face in front of Liu Shi. Zhang He was a little guilty and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Liu glanced at Zhang Yan and said, "Don't pay attention to him. What's the matter with you guys coming here today?"

Zhang He wanted to ignore Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan said: "Second brother is very capable. He planted 'Qinghe Rice' and didn't tell his family. When outsiders planted Qinghe rice, my family didn't even care about Qinghe rice. Don’t know what rice is yet.”

Zhang He naturally knew that "Qinghe rice" was her high-quality conventional rice. When Shi Qing proposed to name it after her, she felt too ashamed, so she asked Shi Qing to change the name of Qinghe Village.But what is the relationship between her planting Qinghe rice and Zhang Yan?Zhang Yan didn't think of her as his family too much, did he?

"Brother, didn't you ask?" Zhang He replied very peacefully.

"Do I need to ask you to tell me this?" Zhang Yan was holding back his anger. When other places had a good harvest, there was still no movement in their Zhangjiazhuang.If Zhang He had told them that there was Qinghe rice earlier, they would have rented it out to tenants, and they would have been able to collect more tax!

Especially when he was drinking with the county magistrate of Linchuan County, the magistrate was very surprised that he didn't know about Qinghe Dao. His words seemed to say that Zhang He didn't seem to take him seriously, otherwise he wouldn't Will not tell them about it.

Zhang Hezhi's origin is not a secret among the officials in the yamen. After all, they were the ones who tried the case of Zhang He's biological mother, Mrs. Liu, and her tenants' adultery during the filial piety period, and finally sentenced him to exile according to the law.

After many years, a bastard with a stigma and being ridiculed when talking about her biological mother's behavior, now in the eyes of others, she is a person with good conduct and the heart of a child.As for her parentage, the stigma brought about by her biological mother was ignored.

Zhang Yan felt that he was very ashamed. As a legitimate son, he once bullied Zhang He to the point where he had no room to resist, and watched her leave Zhang's house in despair to go to Qinghe Village.He deliberately didn't let Zhang He take away any of it, just to watch her sell off her land and cattle, and then never recover from it.

But now Zhang He not only lives a prosperous life, he has even become a celebrity in front of the county magistrate and governor!Even when Zhang He came to the city today, he knew that the governor Tong Liyu had invited him.

She's just a bastard, her mother's status is humble, and now she only has 150 acres of land, which can't compare with her own strong financial resources, but she has made herself ashamed in front of everyone!

Zhang Yan's unreasonable words made Zhang He speechless. How could she answer such unreasonable words?

Liu said: "Brother Donkey did not rely on the Zhang family to plant this. If you want it, you can buy it from her, but don't be so unreasonable. You will only make people feel rude if you behave like this!"

Zhang Yan also calmed down a little, and said: "Mother, you don't have to favor him, don't blame me on this matter, even the uncles are very disappointed in him!"

Liu was silent.

Zhang He understood, although she didn't care what the rest of the Zhang family thought of her, after all, she had no feelings for them either.But Liu Shi also warned her that even if the family is separated, she is still a member of the Zhang family, and she will be prosperous and all will be damaged. It is impossible for her to completely leave the Zhang family.

She explained: "After the first planting of this rice, it was all bought by the yamen. Together with this autumn harvest, my family only kept the next year's grain seeds and my own food. The yamen once asked the people of Linchuan County to borrow young crops. , Why didn’t big brother borrow money? But big brother don’t need to be angry, this time the government levied the autumn tax, and what they harvested was the grain seeds of Qinghe rice, so big brother can go to the government to borrow green crops.”

Zhang Yan was completely silent, and finally left here with a livid face.Seeing that Zhang He had broken up with him in front of Mrs. Liu, he also bid farewell. It would be better for them to find a foot shop.

Liu Shi said: "You don't have to leave, I can still be the master of this family."

Zhang He couldn't figure out what she was thinking, but in the end he stayed.

The author has something to say: Brother Donkey is pretending to slap Big Brother in the face.
