Dress to be a celebrity

Song Fuzun felt sympathy for his own people, worried that if he was tired from working too much, his subordinates would not get that treatment when it was their turn.

Zhu Zhixian heard that the adults started to praise his lover, and thought that he was going to leave after a few words of greetings after finishing the business.Unexpectedly, before he said the word "resignation", Mr. Song enthusiastically pulled him to study a new job.

Now it's mid-to-late April, and it's time to harvest wheat and plant crops. As a county magistrate, he is a people-friendly official, so he naturally cares about agriculture and mulberry. Mr. Song wants to talk to him about scientific farming:

For example, the reasonable and dense planting of rice seedlings; the technique of fish farming in rice fields; for example, which is more cost-effective for farmers, such as returning the straw to the field after harvesting the wheat as fertilizer or harvesting the straw for firewood; for example, planting rape or sesame, beans, Cotton yields higher...

County Magistrate Zhu became more and more dazed as he listened, and his eyes became more misty. He tried hard to concentrate and understand what he was saying, but was stunned by the questions he threw out time and time again.

How long is the leaf spread of the whole rice plant?How thick is the rice stalk?Can fish and crabs be raised in rice fields?What kind of planting earns the most money after the wheat is harvested?

...He only knows that sesame oil is more expensive than rapeseed oil, but who knows how much higher or lower the net income of an acre of sesame is than an acre of rapeseed, soybeans, melons and eggplants?

Song Shi originally didn't ask Zhu county magistrate to really know how much farming, but just let him understand the importance of doing agricultural research.So he looked at the pitiful appearance of thinking hard but couldn't think of anything, so he stopped embarrassing him and said with a smile:

"The imperial court sent us to shepherd and guard one side, so we have to do our best to the emperor and the common people. I think that to grow the crops well, it is nothing more than light, heat, water, soil, fertilizer, and good seeds. But the farmers They can't finish their lives all day long. They grow the land as they were young, and the rest can only rely on the sky to eat. How can they have the thought and the capital to study how to plant well? They can't do well, they can't harvest food, and they have a lot of debts. Well, it's not that we're worried."

Therefore, they are officials who study how to increase the harvest for the people. Although it will increase the workload, it is not a disadvantage.

If this year's harvest is good, all the taxes that should be collected can be collected, and the debts from previous years can be cleared, how impressive is such a performance appraisal in Beijing?

It's not that he brags. When his father was a county magistrate in the south, he relied on guiding the people to cultivate intensively. The average harvest of rice in one season increased to more than two stones and seven buckets, which was nearly a third higher than in previous years, and the highest was three stones. Two buckets.

The summer tax and autumn grain of that year were collected without any discount!

Wuping County is located at the foot of Wuyi Mountain, with high mountains and thin land. It is not a good place like Chaoshan, which is rich in water and soil, can harvest twice a year, and easily receive five or seven stones of rice.However, after the officials and the people have devoted themselves to managing the land, crop rotation, intercropping, and intercropping, the harvest of all kinds of grain in a year is no less than those in the upper county.

Let alone five or seven stones, the figure of three stones a year is enough to make County Magistrate Zhu dizzy.

In a good place like Hanzhong, there are good dry fields with two crops a year, and the harvest is only two stones.If he can also have a harvest of three stones a year here, what else does he have to worry about?When it's time to collect summer taxes and autumn grain, why bother begging the government for mercy for those farmers who can't pay, and ask the yamen servants to go to the countryside to catch up with them?

The most important achievements of local officials are Qiangu and Dingkou, and then prisons, enlightenment...

To be clear, everything else is icing on the cake, and it is easy to get promoted, but money and food are the lifeblood of their parents and officials.If you fail to collect all the money and food that should be paid during the term of office, it is not only a question of whether you will be promoted or not, it can be fatal if it is serious!

His heart was agitated, and he stood up and bowed deeply towards Song Shi: "Master Song, teach me!"

Master Song took a step forward, helped him up, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "This matter cannot be done by one person in this house, and we need the full cooperation of Nanzheng County."

Although he had mature plans in Rong County and Wuping, the soil, light, accumulated temperature, and rainfall conditions were different after arriving in Hanzhong, so he had to experiment again according to local conditions and grain varieties.

He intends to issue a set of questionnaires, and the county government will arrange people to investigate the climate, precipitation, terrain, soil, farming habits, improved seeds, livestock, products... and the diseases that rice, wheat, vegetables, fruits, and livestock are susceptible to.All the counties have to send people to the countryside to investigate. When submitting the questionnaire, they must also attach the seeds, mature plants, fruits, and soil in different regions for them to analyze and study the methods of improvement.

However, Nanzheng County is located in Fuguo, the prefect of the prefecture, so he, the magistrate, can go to the field for experiments in person, so he has to ask the county magistrate Zhu to be more demanding. It is necessary for him to find out the upper, middle and lower third-class experimental fields and compare them with the control fields. Experienced old farmers farming.

This experimental field can't just pick one, but should develop many typical experimental fields according to the land type and soil type.

Nanzheng County has different terrains such as mountains, floodplains, and low terraces, and the soil composition and thickness are also different.Which crops are suitable for intercropping, intercropping, and crop rotation for each type of land, what ratio of chemical fertilizers are needed, how to prevent and control diseases and insect pests, etc., all need to be solved through experimental research.

Although Mr. Zhu is busy with affairs, it is related to the lifeline industry of agriculture, and no matter how busy we are, we must bear it.

Zhu County Magistrate is now only looking at Sanshiliang, he can't care whether he is busy or not, he stood up and replied generously: "Don't worry, my lord, I will ask someone to check the farming conditions of the farmers under my rule when I return today!"

Song Shi nodded lightly, and after a few words of encouragement in a warm voice, he finally let the general go out.

In the afternoon, a summary meeting was held, and the charity funds of the branch were allocated to Nanzheng County. I stayed in the second hall and worked overtime for a while, recalling that when I was in Fujian, I investigated the agricultural production in different regions and summed up one problem after another.

In the past, he would go to the countryside to conduct field investigations in person, and it has been a long time since he issued a questionnaire, so he still misses it a bit.

Song Shi looked at the questions on the paper that seemed to have the shadow of a modern questionnaire, and recalled how he designed the questionnaire in his previous life, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

At that time, there were questionnaire templates for the tourism industry everywhere on the Internet. They could be downloaded for free, copied and pasted, and printed out for use.Now it costs at least [-] cents to download a document that teaches how to make a questionnaire, and you have to handwrite and mimeograph when doing the questionnaire...

He was facing the manuscript paper and reminiscing about the glorious past, when the door outside the room suddenly slammed very lightly, and a slight sound of footsteps and the flap of his clothes were brought into the room as he walked.

Startled by the sound, he raised his head suddenly, only to realize that it was getting dark.

It was mid-April, and the days were quite long. It was already past dinner time, no wonder people came to see him.He ordered without turning his head: "Don't worry about me, I haven't finished my official duties here, and I have to go to the palace to discuss business matters later, so I don't have time to eat."

"But the palace has nothing serious to do right now, it's more important than letting Mr. Song eat."

When that voice first sounded, Mr. Song suddenly felt guilty for secretly playing games in the middle of the night and letting his parents catch him.But thinking that he is busy with the business of benefiting the country and the people, he seems to be a little more confident, and looks up at him.

When he looked up and met his concerned face, he seemed a little timid again.

Huan Qianxian stood in front of him at some point, reached out his hand to touch his cheek, and said with a click: "I'm hungry and thin."

How can I be hungry and thin if I don’t eat a meal.

Song Shi pointed to the questionnaire on the table and said, "It's ready right now. I've already made up my mind to go to the palace to eat your food. Could it be that they haven't prepared supper for Mr. Qindu Censor?"

Don't eat dinner, just count on supper?

Huan Ling glanced at the manuscript paper he spread on the table, saw that it was related to farming, knew it was important, and didn't dare to force him to drop the business and let him go back to rest. Turning his eyes, he said: "Just write, I will Find someone to get some snacks for you to pad your belly, and you don't have to run to the palace under the moonlight at night, we can discuss in the hall if we have anything to do."

He has always acted neatly, and when he patted Song Shi, he went to the back house of his house to ask people to prepare food, and he also asked the messenger at the door to deliver a letter to the palace, saying that he would stay in the mansion to discuss matters at night.

Song Shi watched him go out to work, got up and lit a few candles and placed them in front of the table, taking advantage of the last bit of sunset and candlelight before dark to write hard.

Now that Huan Ling came to visit the class, he felt that it was not that difficult to complete the questionnaire.

No matter how easy it was in the previous life, it was a single dog working overtime in the middle of the night alone in the company; although it is more troublesome to do it now, there is such a virtuous Xiaohuan who washes his hands and makes soup for him, and stays with him in the office.In contrast, this little day is still comfortable.

And his little life could be more comfortable.

After Huan Ling went to the kitchen, he brought him a small plate of steamed mutton dumplings, a plate of walnut pancakes, and a bowl of sesame soup. feed him.

The dumplings were made exquisitely and compactly, only half a finger long, and they could be eaten one by one without fear of tearing the skin and dripping oil.The walnut biscuits were slightly crispy, with crushed peach kernels sprinkled on top. He was afraid that the scum would fall off, so he handed it over with a handkerchief, and Song Shi could bite it with a tilt of his head.

He never enjoyed such thoughtful care during the college entrance examination.

He was a little embarrassed to ask Huan Ling to wait on him like this, and he was very nostalgic for the feeling of being held in the palm of his hand. He was reluctant to tell him to stop, so he just ate two small dumplings, the size of a cup. walnut biscuits.

Huan Ling wanted to feed him another piece of cake, but his face finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he refused to bite his lips against the piece of cake. He shook his head and said, "I'd better eat it by myself. You've been lifting here for a long time, and you're quite tired." Yes, put it down and rest, I can write later."

Anyway, this is only the first draft, and it is good to add it slowly later, there is no need to have to do it all at once.

He put down his pen and wanted to take over the biscuits, but Huan Ling didn't give it to him, picked up the pen and stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile, "I don't know you yet? If I don't finish writing today, I'm afraid I'll sleep tonight." No. You continue to write yours, and you can take a bite if you want to eat. My arms can open a crossbow of seven stones, and I won’t be tired even if I entrust you to support it by myself for so long, let alone this small snack.”

Song Shi looked at the piece of walnut pancake, and Ai Ai felt embarrassed to open his mouth.Huan Ling chuckled, took a bite off a piece of sesame seed cake, held it lightly between his teeth, and looked at him: "Or should I feed you like this before you can eat it?"

A person who has become the Imperial Envoy of the capital!

Actually flirting openly in the courtroom!

Song Shi's chest rose and fell, his breathing was short, and he cast a heavy glance at him, then suddenly put his lips together, grabbed the biscuit and grabbed it with force, lowered his head to the questionnaire and continued to write.

Huan Ling watched him eat the biscuit, licked the crispy and sweet walnut pieces between his lips, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his lips, he picked up the biscuit and took another bite.

With such a virtuous housemate who serves tea, water, and ink, Mr. Song can write the questionnaire much faster. He can finish the first draft in one night. He only needs to find a few old farmers to try to answer the questionnaire, and adjust according to the habits of the people here. Question difficulty and wording.

Bai Juyi wrote poems for old women to understand, and his questionnaire was also aimed at illiterate households, so it was natural for old farmers to understand.He happened to find time to go around the park and stare at the construction of the high-temperature-resistant kiln, so he brought this manuscript and a document with him, and asked people to find some crops in the nearby villages to conduct a questionnaire and collect feedback. .

Huan Yushi is now concerned about the refugee issue. I heard that he is going to see the refugee resettlement project in the county. How can he let him go alone?You must go out of the city with him, so that you can check for King Zhou whether those refugees and escaped households have been resettled, and the surroundings of Hanzhong Mansion are still calm and safe.

——Not only for the safety of the palace, but also His Highness ordered the courier shop to deliver a letter to Governor Yang the day before yesterday. If there is no peace outside the city, it would be bad if Master Yang was bumped into when he came to see him.
