The next morning, the family after breakfast was ready to go on a trip.

Jing Mo went to harness the carriage first, and came back to pull things.

Nanhai's daughter-in-law was at home, and when she saw Jing Mo coming to get the keys, she asked, "Are you going out today?"

Jing Mo nodded.

Nanhai's daughter-in-law said: "Be careful on the road, come back early."

Jing Mo responded, and said, "I'm asking you to help watch over the field and the family."

Nanhai's daughter-in-law smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Jing Mo hid the carriage, returned the key to her, and went home.

Put all the burdens on it first, and Nan Xing hugged a blanket and came out.

He got into the car and paved it, and asked Uncle Wu to sit in first and wait.

Jing Mo locked the doors and was about to deliver the keys.郒枹

Nan Xing stopped him and said, "I'll go, I still have something to tell Auntie."

Jing Mo handed him the key.

Nan Xing took two bunches of keys and went to the village chief's house.

Knowing that they are going out today, they should have gone to give them away, but it is not a big deal, and there are chores at home, so it didn't go through.

But the courtyard door was open, ready to wait for someone to come over.

The wife of the village head, still wearing an apron, was stirring chicken food in the yard.

"Auntie." Nan Xing shouted as he entered the door.

The wife of the village head raised her head: "Hey."

"I'll deliver the keys." Nan Xing handed her two bunches of keys: "I got some dried vegetables yesterday, and I took them out to dry in the morning. I'll trouble you to collect them in the evening."

The village head's wife took it over, and said in response: "Okay, are the windows closed?"

Nan Xing nodded: "It's all closed."

The village head's wife said again: "Be careful and come back early."

"I know, then I'm going out."

"it is good."

Nan Xing bid farewell to the village head's wife and went back to join Jingmo and the others.

Jing Mo had already driven the carriage to the side of the road and waited.

The carriage turned its back to Nan Xing, he walked over and got into the carriage with his hands on the carriage.

Jing Mo asked him, "Aren't you going to sit inside?"

Nan Xing shook his head: "Aren't you bored by yourself?"

Jing Mo said, "You pick up the car curtain."

Nan Xing followed what he said, went into the car, and raised the curtains so that people in the car could also see the scenery outside.

Jing Mo turned around and said, "Sit down, let's go."

He flicked the rein, and the pony took the command and hoofed.

The whole family went out happily.

From Nanhe Village to the county seat, one needs to pass through Wuyang Town. Everyone is familiar with this section of the road, and there is nothing to see.

But sitting in the carriage and looking at the familiar scenery outside, I feel a little different.

Uncle Wu sat in the carriage, felt the sway of the carriage, and said, "Thanks to Jingmo, my old bone can still sit in the carriage."

Jing Mo held the rein with both hands, and said with a smile, "Where is this?"

It is inevitable that the carriage will bump, but at this time, the three of them have never felt soothed with one heart.

Nan Xing said: "I never thought that my family could have a carriage." Although this was also brought to them by Jingmo, they are now one, and there is no distinction between them.

Jing Mo said: "If you are willing to let me spend money, I can run the racecourse for you."

"If you really think so, can I control the money like this?" Nan Xing exposed his lie in one bite.

"Hey." Jing Mo, who had been punctured, smiled and said nothing.

Compared to owning a racecourse, Jing Mo is still more willing to be idle.

His goal is not big, he can live and work in peace and contentment.

You can’t earn enough money, just enough to spend.

Moreover, it is difficult to open a racecourse in this day and age, so he should not bother.

The carriage passed Wuyang Town and drove to the main road to the county seat.

Nan Xing has never been to the county seat. He was still young when his father and father were alive, and his father was often not at home, and his father was not in good health. At most, he took him to the town for a stroll. , this opportunity is even more gone.

Uncle Wu had been there when he was young, but his memory was too far away, and the county today is no longer what he remembered.

The road to the county will pass through forests, villages, and fields. It is autumn now, and the autumn harvest has already been completed. Now there are no crops in the field except vegetables.

It seemed a little desolate.

Uncle Wu looked at the bare field and said, "This year's autumn harvest is not bad. After handing it over to the government, there will still be a lot of food left in the family, and everyone can live a stable year."

Jingmo knew that grain production was not high in this era, and taxes had to be paid, so every household would eat wild vegetables and rice bran.

To improve people's livelihood, the only way is to develop industry. Jingmo has neither the ability nor the ambition. He can bring Nanhe Village to the road of planting, which is beyond imagination.

But he did not forget that he had seeds.

Anyway, his appearance is like a bug, so it's better to play it thoroughly.

Also let them avoid detours.

You must know that the country of Hua in the early years also suffered from the suffering of food, which is the stability of future generations after the blood of countless ancestors.

He originally intended to hand it over to the county magistrate after the beginning of spring, but he didn't know if the county magistrate would be transferred in the spring of next year, and he would have to hand it over sooner or later. Give some seeds to the magistrate.

After Jingmo made a decision, he said, "Actually, there is a kind of rice seed that can yield [-] catties per mu."

These words scared the two of Nan Xing.

"really?"

Jing Mo nodded: "I've seen it before. This is a hybrid seed, but it has high requirements on fertilizer. If the fertilization is not in place, it may almost fail."

This made Fifth Uncle lean out excitedly: "Where did you see it? Do you have seeds?"

"There are, but not many. When I came to Nanhe Village, I couldn't catch up with the seedlings, so I didn't plant them. I can try planting some at home in the spring of next year."

Uncle Wu rubbed his hands together: "Okay, if we have food, we won't be afraid to starve to death."

When Jing Mo heard this, he didn't know how to respond for a while.

However, Nan Xing took it for granted that people would starve to death if there was no food, and people would freeze to death in cold weather. These are common things. He helped Fifth Uncle to sit up: "Be careful, you may fall later."

Fifth Uncle listened to him and sat down again.

Nan Xing asked Jing Mo again: "How many things do you have that I don't know?"

Jing Mo pretended to be stupid: "Ah? What?"

"At first you brought out corn seeds without saying a word, but now you say you have rice seeds. I remember when you first entered the village, you carried a small burden on your back. How can you carry that burden?" In fact, he had already I doubted it, but I didn't ask because I was not familiar with it before, and Jing Mo would take it out by himself, so he was never at ease.

But this will not compare to others, it is rice seeds, and one mu of land can produce [-] catties.

You must know that food is the foundation of the people, which is not comparable to corn and potatoes.

"Uh... Actually, it's like this. Didn't you meet me on the mountain? Before entering the village, I hid all my things on the mountain, and I brought them back later."

Nan Xing didn't say whether he believed it or not: "You still know how to be careful."

"For those who are unfamiliar with the place of life, it is always right to be careful."

Nan Xing thought back to the day when he first met him. You must know that he was afraid that Jing Mo would be a bad person, so he took the rabbit and ran away, so he didn't pay attention to other things.

But if it wasn't hiding in the mountains, no other reason would make sense.

When Uncle Wu heard this, he smiled and said, "Be careful."

Jing Mo was afraid that Nan Xing would ask further questions, so he hurriedly said to him: "Xing Xing, pass me the water bag, I'm a little thirsty."

Nan Xing went to take out the water bag, pulled out the plug and handed it to him.

Jing Mo pretended to drink a couple of sips and returned to him: "Are you thirsty?"

Nan Xing also came over to have a drink, and asked, "How long is it?"

"Soon." He asked Fifth Uncle again: "Grandpa, are you tired, do you want to sleep for a while?"

"Not tired, you drive well, don't worry about me."

"Xingxing, take out some preserved fruit and give it to Grandpa."

Nan Xing put the water bag away, then went to take out the preserved fruit and handed it to Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu took it over, held a small box of preserved fruit and said, "Jingmo is more like my grandson than you."

Jing Mo said: "There is no difference between grandson and grandson."

Fifth Uncle took a piece of sour plum and put it into his mouth. Compared with the sweetness, he liked the taste better: "Would you like to try Xingxing?"

Nan Xing likes sweet and not sour, she shook her head when she heard the words: "You can eat."

Chatting along the way, the carriage also rolled to the gate of the county seat.

The county seat is considered a small city. Although the city wall is not as majestic as the prefectural city, it still represents the identity of one party.

The carriage entered the city, because Jingmo bought food and ran across the east and west of the city before, and knew that there was an inn in the south of the city, that is, the county government. He happened to have to go to the county government, so he chose the inn in the south of the city. .

An inn is a combination of accommodation and restaurants.

The front yard is a restaurant, and the accommodation is in the back yard. The two are connected by a small yard and a door. The backyard can also park a carriage, which is a benefit for every staying guest.

Although Nan Xing has never been out of the courtyard, he is not afraid of socializing with others.

Otherwise, I can't get the order from Li Guina to do it.

He went to the shopkeeper and asked for two adjacent rooms, which were neither Tianzi No. [-] nor luxury suites, but ordinary guest rooms, and a room cost [-] Wen a day.

If you want to boil water to take a bath, it is an additional fee, and you have to add [-] Wen for each wash.

Nan Xing gave 120 Wen and asked for hot water service.

Jing Mo parked the carriage and waited in the yard with a bundle hanging on his arms.

Just in time for Nan Xing to pay the money, he was led over by the waiter.

Nan Xing helped him share some.

Jing Mo gave him the light one.

The waiter waited for them to divide up before leading them upstairs.

It is the leftmost wing on the second floor, and Fifth Uncle's room is next to them.

The shop waiter handed them the door key: "Guest officer, please do your work first. If you need anything, just call us."

Jing Mo nodded.

The waiter backed away.

After entering the guest room, the pattern is that the door is facing the table, and the bed is separated by a screen on the right.

The window is on the left, looking out, it is just facing the street.

The room has no peculiar smell and is clean. It can be seen that it is cleaned every day.

And on the shelf by the window there are bottle inserts, which is very beautiful.

Jing Mo put the things away, and said to Nan Xing: "I have something to go to the county government, you and grandpa have a rest first, and we will go out for a walk later."

Nan Xing asked him, "What are you doing at the county government office?"

"I have something to do with the county magistrate, and I'll be back soon."

Nan Xing didn't ask any more questions.

Jing Mo went out, just as Uncle Wu also came out from next door.

"How is your house? My place is quite clean." Fifth Uncle asked.

Jing Mo said: "It's also very good, you and Xing Xing will sit down first, and I will go out for a while."

"Okay." Fifth Uncle didn't ask any more, and entered their room.

Jing Mo first went to the carriage to get the three catties of rice seeds he had just taken out, then walked through the restaurant in the front yard and went straight to the county government.

Even the housekeeper was a little surprised when he came to the door at this time.

"Why are you here?"

Jing Mo entered through the back door: "I'm here to find the county magistrate to exchange some money."

As soon as he heard this, the housekeeper knew that he had something good again, and he was used to Jingmo's temperament of asking for money immediately: "What is it this time?"

"Rice seeds."

The housekeeper wondered, "What's so special about rice seeds?"

"Rice seeds are not uncommon, but what if they can produce [-] catties per mu?"

"What?" The butler was shocked: "Really?...You should tell the adults directly." He hurried to La Jingmo.

"My lord is at the house?" Jing Mo was dragged away by him, and he recognized the direction of the study.

"Is it really possible to produce [-] catties? You can't lie about it. If you are not careful, you will lose your head." The housekeeper actually didn't believe it.

Jing Mo lost his temper: "I won't tell you, I want to find an adult."

Scold the housekeeper angrily.

Jing Mo is not afraid. The housekeeper is cold-faced and kind-hearted. Although he doesn't communicate much, he has always been polite and caring to him.

He knew it was because of the few seeds he had handed in.

But the butler can ignore him completely.

The butler led him into the study, where the county magistrate was reviewing documents.

Knowing that it was Jing Mo who came, he put down his brush and asked, "What's the matter this time?"

Before Jing Mo could speak, the housekeeper answered first, "Jing Mo said he has rice seeds with a yield of [-] catties per mu."

This news made him more excited than letting the county magistrate know about the high yield of potatoes. He immediately stood up with a gleam on his face: "Really?"

Jing Mo took the seeds wrapped in cloth from his arm and handed them to the housekeeper: "Conservative estimates, but if the fertilizer can keep up, the yield of 1000 catties per mu will not be a problem." In fact, it can produce more than [-] catties per mu, after all, The seeds have been improved several times, but he has always cut off the yield a little and revealed them to them.

"So fertilizer is important?"

Jing Mo saw that he understood a little bit, and nodded: "I haven't grown this variety, but I have seen it. Fertilizer is very important. I have prepared three catties for you. When the next spring comes, you can try planting it. Your Zhuangzi There are so many experts here, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

"If you can produce [-] catties per mu as you said, then you have really made a great contribution."

Jing Mo asked with a smile, "Is there any reward?"

"Yes." After so many interactions, the county magistrate knows that this is a money-loving temperament: "I will reward you with 100 taels first, and I will reward you when the next summer harvest reaches the production volume."

There was this reward before it was planted, and the county magistrate also spent a lot of money: "You must remember that you must apply enough base fertilizer, and secondly, topdressing fertilizers in stages, following the principle of 'eat less and eat more, and topdress fertilizers frequently...'" Jing Mo Said the essentials of planting again.

Naturally, there is no need for the county magistrate to remember these things, a housekeeper will take care of them.

And if there is a problem, the county magistrate will send someone to come to him.

After finishing everything, Jing Mo followed the butler to receive the reward.

The newly acquired 100 taels of silver was heavy, and Jing Mo couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. So many times, thanks to the care of the housekeeper, Jing Mo took out [-] taels to honor him.

The housekeeper was also polite, and took it away while there was no one around.

Both of them understand what this means.

The housekeeper collected the money and asked, "It's easy for you to make money."

Jing Mo put away the 90 taels and said with a smile, "It's because the adults love me."

The housekeeper said with a smile: "With this money, I will not have to worry about food and clothing in my life."

Jing Mo said: "Of course, the more money, the better." His salty fish belongs to the salty fish, but he really doesn't think too much money.

"It's true."

"My husband is still waiting for me, so I won't talk to you."

"Okay, you go."

Jing Mo said goodbye to him, left the county office and went back to the inn.
