Married a scholar

▍Reminder.

Compared to Xia Wenze, just going up to kill wild boars is already very good.

Of course, Xia Wenze also sees blood at home on weekdays, but killing fish, chickens and ducks is indeed a bit exciting compared to wild boars that will lose their lives if they are not careful.

Meng Yining expressed his understanding.

Xia Wenze calmed down a little when he heard his words. Meng Yining led him to an open area with wild boars along with the breath in the air.

In a piece of grass, four wild boars were humming and arching in the grass, all of them were big wild boars.

"Brother Aze, go, these four wild boars are not difficult for you at all." Meng Yining patted him on the shoulder.

Xia Wenze nodded, looking at the four wild boars.

Looking at Xia Wenze who killed the wild boar with just a few moves, Meng Yining smiled and went forward to wipe off the blood splattered on his face. Regardless of the wild boar's blood still flowing on his hands, he held his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand, and boasted He boasted like a child: "It's great."

Xia Wenze, who was still a little excited, miraculously calmed down, and recovered from the warm blood, "Thank you?"

"Hahahaha." Meng Yining stretched out his arms to hug him, "Eat roasted wild boar at noon." Meng Yining put away the four wild boars and led him to the small valley.

Nothing can be accomplished overnight. Let Xia Wenze kill wild boars for exercise today, and next time he can pick other wild animals that are bigger.Anyway, they still have some time, so there is no rush.

When the two went to the valley, Meng Yining drove away the group of lions first, and Xia Wenze chopped off a wild boar leg and cleaned it by the lake.

"I'll plant some sweet potatoes over there in a while. We'll come a few more times in the past few days, and then we can bring the sweet potatoes back."

Xia Wenze nodded, "We will go to the county when the sweet potatoes come out. In a few days, the grain in the field will start to be harvested one after another."

"Well, I have to fish out all the fish in the pond before going to the county, and then I will transfer them to my brothers on the way." The water source in the last days is polluted, not to mention eating fish, even water It can only be drunk after various filtration and disinfection.The seas and rivers are full of mutated fish, shrimps and crabs. If you are not careful, you don't know who is whose food.

It was not yet noon, after the wild boar legs were cleaned up, Meng Yining went to plant sweet potatoes, while Xia Wenze started picking the leaves of the red blood vine on the edge of the cliff.

The cliffs of this valley are full of red blood vines, enough for them to pick them for several days.

In the evening, the two returned home with a big basket on their backs. On the way, they met Zhao Liehu and his son returning from the other side of Daqing Mountain with a wild deer on their shoulders.

Meng Yining and the two men didn't carry any wild animals in their hands. When they saw Zhao Orion and his son, they bought their wild deer by the way.

Back home, He Fangyi picked up the wild deer, Xinggeer took off the baskets from the two of them, and told Meng Yining what happened in the village today.

"Master, I think those people don't know what is good or bad." Brother Xing has been angry for a day, "We have already planted potatoes for them for free, and they still think that we are wrong. A village should be free." Where in the world There is that kind of good thing.

Meng Yining took the cold mung bean soup he handed over and drank it, "Who said this first?"

Xia Wenze went to change clothes.

Brother Xing replied: "It was proposed by Zhao Tao and Meng Feng's family. The husband of the butcher Zhao and Zhao Daniu agreed with him below." Brother Xing pouted, "Master, although these four families are here Let’s talk later, but I can see that some people also think that we shouldn’t ask for [-]% of the harvest.”

Meng Yining asked him, "What did the village chief say?"

"The village chief said that those who don't want to harvest can just not plant."

Meng Yining nodded when he heard the words, "I don't care about it. If you want to plant it, you can write it down clearly in black and white. If you want to plant it or not, it's not me begging them to plant it now, but they have to beg me."

Given the lack of rain this year, the harvest of the autumn harvest can be seen how tragic it will be in the future.

He is willing to take out the potatoes, but it doesn't mean he is a holy father.A sage can't do good deeds for free without desire or demand, let alone a mortal like him?

Wanting benefits but not willing to pay, where in the world do those good things come from.

"As long as this matter doesn't come to me, we don't care."

"Yeah." Brother Xing nodded, he just felt that those people were too ignorant, the young master thought of them more, provided potato seeds for free, as long as [-]% of the final harvest.That's all I don't want.

Haven't they seen the crop of potatoes?It's only [-]%, which is cheaper than the landlord's rent.

Meng Yining went to take a shower and came out, Xia Wenze was already waiting for him at the table.

Meng Yining told him what Brother Xing told him, "What do you think these people think all day long?"

Xia Wenze looked indifferent, "That's how the world is."

"Fortunately, only a few people have this idea. If there are too many people, I have to consider whether to grow potatoes." Meng Yining looked at the shredded chicken cold noodles brought by Brother Yi, "The matter of the well, Let's talk about it later."

Xia Wenze nodded.

For three days in a row, the two went to Daqing Mountain. In the morning, Xia Wenze killed wild boars, bears, etc., and then the two picked red blood vines in the valley to practice sparring, and went home facing the sunset in the evening.

Brother Yi and Brother Xing would tell them about the affairs in the village at night, so they also knew what some people were thinking.

Manager He also bought people back, a total of more than forty people, and the old house obviously couldn't accommodate them.Manager He arranged the people in the second courtyard, and there was still a spare room in the first courtyard.

"Master Ning, all the things that need to be added to the old house have been added. These people can take turns to cook from tomorrow, and when the weather is not hot, they will arrange to go to the official road to clean up the wasteland. "

"Okay. Look at the arrangements." Meng Yining asked, "Where's your friend?" If he doesn't want to come over, he can use this time to find someone in the county.

"I have promised to come here, but his old mother is sick these two days."

"Yeah." Meng Yining handed Manager He a contract, "Not one of the people who bought it could read and write, so let them copy this contract for me in [-] copies."

Manager He took it over and took a look, then he understood that he naturally knew what happened in the village these days, "I know Master Ning."

"Those who don't want to sign the contract will not be given potatoes even if they register. If someone privately gives it to others, don't worry about it." Meng Yining sneered, "In the future, if there is new food, these people will write it down, and they don't have to worry about it." gave."

Said he was stingy?Then he will be stingy for others to see.

Didn't he take the risk of taking out potatoes and sweet potatoes?

If he comes up with something in the future, and these people will treat themselves as good people in private, then some people will be more enthusiastic.

The first crop harvested [-]% of the potatoes, a lot?

Manager He nodded and put away the contract, "Understood."

"You should pay more attention to these people who bought it. The grain in the field will be cleaned up one after another. You can arrange for these people to go to the field to collect grain at that time." Such a waste of money.

"Ok."

"The leaves of the red blood vine that I got back in the past few days, you arrange someone to scrape off the brown layer on the back of the leaves and put them away." Several baskets of hemostatic vine leaves.

He Guanshi wrote down everything one by one, and seeing that Meng Yining had no other orders, he went down.

The time is approaching July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, God doesn’t see a drop of rain, the water level of the river drops every day, and the village is digging ponds in full swing, pouring water into them desperately.

In the fields, you can see families carrying wooden barrels to and from the river early in the morning. Families with a lot of land can water from morning to night to take care of the grain that is about to be harvested. I am afraid that there will be nothing in this year's autumn harvest.

Those with less land should be more careful, wishing to squat in the fields every day.

Several blisters grew on the corners of the village chief's mouth, which showed that he was really anxious.

I went to the market several times and brought back different news. There was no good news. Either there was a drought here, or there was a plague of locusts there. The entire southern part of the Northern Jin Dynasty fell into panic.

The imperial court has issued various policies to benefit the people, but it still cannot dispel the anxiety caused by the lack of rain to the farmers.

Meng Yining drank herbal tea and listened to Manager He telling him about various matters at home.

"Boss Fang asked people to put all the recovered rapeseed into the warehouse, and arranged for people to start harvesting the rice." Steward He said, "I also went to the village and told the village chief about the harvesting of the rice. It’s something, but the people in the village don’t want it.”

Meng Yining frowned upon hearing this, "Didn't you tell the village chief about the locusts in the south?" The locusts were just an excuse, but Meng Yining saw on the plane trader that there would be rain and hail in five days.

The rain that everyone has been waiting for will come in five days, but the rain is mixed with hail. The hail shown on the plane trader will last for a morning. The size is unknown, but no matter how small the hail is, Lasting all morning, this is a disaster for the grain that is about to be harvested.

What's more, after such a long interval of rain and hail, will it be small?

"I've already told the village head, and the village head has also informed, but some people don't want to listen." Manager He was also very helpless.

Meng Yining frowned, and Xia Wenze patted his head, "If you don't listen, then you don't care." Xia Wenze said, "You've already mentioned this matter, so you can't blame us if you don't listen." Naturally, Xia Wenze also knew about the hail, but This kind of thing cannot be said clearly, but the locust plague in the south can only be used as an example.

Meng Yining sighed. It was impossible for him to tell about the hailstorm. No matter how he knew it, it would attract more attention than him taking out potatoes and sweet potatoes. He didn't want to be noticed by the people above. "Forget it, if you don't listen, don't listen. I've already said what I should say. Anyway, I won't be the one who will be affected by the disaster."

Xia Wenze looked at Manager He who was waiting on the side, "Add some straw to the roof of the old house, and the roof on our side is the same. And all the grain that can be harvested in the field has been harvested. Arrange to live here in the new house, and the more than 100 chickens have to be imprisoned there for the time being."

"Okay." Manager He wondered why he did this, it was just a plague of locusts, but as a servant, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just do what your master tells you.

"Let's go down first." Xia Wenze waved his hand, pulled Meng Yining to comfort him, "Don't bother, we have already done what we should do, and we must never talk about the hailstorm."

"I know." Meng Yining leaned in his arms, "Even if it's not a locust plague, the food is almost ready to harvest, so what's the use of waiting?" I don't know what those people think, the current level of drought, Can the food grow longer if it is kept in the ground for a few days?It is also time-consuming and troublesome to carry water every day.

"There has been no rain, and some grains don't grow that well. I always think about how long it will grow." Xia Wenze can actually understand their thinking.

"Hey." Meng Yining sighed, "It doesn't matter, anyway, I have already said what should be said."
