Jiang Wenyuan was grateful for their kindness, and bluntly said that in addition to the promised wages after the autumn harvest, each person would be given an extra one tael of silver as a bonus.

In the future, if the family owns fertile land and wants to grow grain, they can also come to him to buy grain seeds.

Of course, if it is a fraud, don't say anything about buying grain seeds, it will be punished as a crime of fraud.

The prisons of the county government are in charge of food and housing, and there are mice and cockroaches that provide night-time wake-up services to ensure your satisfaction.

Because Jiang Wenyuan didn't keep it secret, it didn't take long for almost half of Qingzhou to know that the high-yield rice that was as long as three ears of ordinary rice was grown in the village that the emperor gave to the county magistrate.

If you know it, you know it, and if you watch it, you watch it, but no one has the guts to steal it.

Not to mention the words "gifted by the emperor" is a deterrent.

There are still twelve hours a day, guarded by Habayashi guards who are constantly rotating.

In addition, the officials of the imperial court and the servants of the county government who came to check in from time to time.

Coupled with the voluntary and strict protection of the long-term workers hired by the Jiang family, there is no way for outsiders to steal.

On the eighth day of August, good luck.

Under the expectant eyes of countless people in Qingzhou, Zhuangzi of the Jiang family opened his sickle.

The long-term workers were divided into three groups.One group is responsible for harvesting.

One group is responsible for hugging the cut millet into the square bucket, beating and threshing.

Put the beaten millet into baskets and pull them back to Xijindu in a carriage to dry.

After drying in the sun, blow off the rice grains, and then measure the output by weighing.

In order to ensure the fairness and justice of this matter, and to reduce the trouble when reporting the output, Jiang Wenyuan handed over this matter to two of the agricultural officials, and he did not interfere.

Jiang Yuqing also came.

She likes the scene of such a lively harvest, but she has some complaints about the big fight of the rice.

This thing is really too primitive, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The orphanage where I grew up in my previous life also has several acres of rice fields.Whenever the rice is harvested, the dean's mother will bring some older children with her to help and teach them survival skills in a disguised form.

At that time, I used a rice thresher powered by pedals.

Several boards are built to form a large semi-open wooden box structure, with a large drum in the middle, covered with inverted V-shaped sharp teeth.

The two ends are connected with a large and a small intermeshing gear set, which is driven by the front pedal.

Styling is not complicated.It can be done with the productivity of this era.

After looking at it for a while, she climbed back into the carriage, took out a pen and paper from the spirit realm, and quickly drew a picture, it doesn't matter if you don't know the exact size.

Her father is extremely smart, and I believe that as long as he looks at it, he can understand everything.

The dumplings are not very well made, and the lines are crooked, which can barely be seen.

But she couldn't help that she had a father who trusted her daughter 100%.

In Jiang Wenyuan's subconscious, as long as it is given to him by his daughter, it is a good thing.

He took the child's graffiti-like paper and read it horizontally and vertically several times, which really helped him understand it.

This is obviously a new type of threshing cylinder. If it is really made, the efficiency of threshing will be at least several times higher.

Jiang Wenyuan kissed his precious daughter hard on the top of the head, and went to the Secretary of Agriculture holding the drawing paper.

Ever since, everyone just looked at the three senior officials without any image, sitting on a pile of straw that had just been threshed, gesticulating around a piece of torn paper, and their excitement was beyond words.

After a while, one of the clerks ran away with a drawing paper.

That step was cheerful, and I didn't know that he was going to meet his young wife.

After the county government promised to pay a lot of money, the sample of the pedal threshing machine was made in just three days.

Jiang Wenyuan asked people to move this big guy to the field, and rolled up his trouser legs to try it himself, hey, it's really easy to use.

A little bit below the feet, the drum turned and flew up, and when the handle was put up, there was a sound of "shua la la", and the millet that was close to the drum was beaten down.

With a slight flip of the hand, he turned the handle over, "Shuh" again, and the millet on the handle was beaten clean, leaving only straw.

In short, this thing is not only clean, but also fast and not tiring.

Such an artifact must of course be vigorously promoted.

Ever since, Jiang Wenyuan placed an order for ten rice threshers overnight.

Although this year is not going to be used much, but there is still the next year, and it will be used every year.

God for good.

Harvest has always been a crisp autumn weather.Five days after the rice in Zhuangzi was harvested, the millet was dried in the sun, and the grains were blown away.All that is left is to weigh into the bin.

The three agricultural officials personally supervised the weighing, and it took a full two days to finish the weighing.

In the final calculation, 1076 mu of land yielded 847888 catties, with an average yield of 788 catties per mu.

Compared with the yield of hybrid rice in the previous life, this yield per mu is not enough.Even compared with ordinary conventional rice, it is incomparable.

However, this is ancient times, there are no chemical fertilizers or pesticides, only the most basic farmyard manure, and this output is considered very good.

Fortunately, the genetics of this variety of millet are stable, so you can save your own seeds.

In Jiang Yuqing's eyes, it can only be regarded as a barely produced output, which in the eyes of these ancients was unimaginable before.

The yield per mu of ordinary fertile land was over 788 catties, but the county magistrate was able to grow [-] catties per mu, more than doubled, and the eyes of the people were red.

After the news came out, the crazy people surrounded the county government, wanting to buy high-yield grain seeds.

At this point, these newly harvested grains are no longer what he said he could count.

However, Zhezi was still on his way to Beijing, and he had no other way.But if you don't come up with a charter, the common people may not be able to explain it.

Jiang Wenyuan had no choice but to kill first and then play, and posted a notice outside the county government that day.He expressed his original intention to sell high-yield grain seeds to the common people at a fair price.

As for how and when it will be sold, we will notify you separately.Afterwards, Jiang Wenyuan looked at the number of acres of all the fields in the county again, and he had some calculations in his mind.

After seeking the opinions and suggestions of several agricultural officials, it was finally decided to leave enough grain seeds for the entire county, and distribute the rest equally to the neighboring counties.

He can't eat meat, but his colleagues can't even drink soup. This is really hating.

The high-yield grain seed is 30 ren per catty, and the amount of grain seed per mu is 6-8 catties.

The head of each village, Zhenghe, counts the number of acres of fields that the village needs to purchase high-yield grain seeds, and checks with the household registration fields on file with the county government.

During this period, no transfer or resale is allowed.Once discovered, the entire village where it is located will be disqualified from purchasing.

This prevents those big landlords, big merchants, or powerful people from taking advantage of loopholes to the greatest extent.

Jiang Wenyuan didn't want to make wedding clothes for those resident insects.

After formulating the detailed rules, Jiang Wenyuan wrote a book on the matter again, and sent it to the capital quickly.

Beijing.

Since last year's sweet potatoes, Qingzhou has become the emperor's focus.Jiang Wenyuan, the county magistrate of Qingzhou, was granted a license to go directly to Tianting without going through the state capital.

Especially after the autumn harvest of rice in the south, Emperor Xia Jing asked almost every day if there was a copy from Qingzhou.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, at the end of August, the envoys from Qingzhou, who had made the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty eagerly awaited, finally entered Beijing.

The people below did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly presented the letter up.It coincided with the Great Court Meeting, and when they heard that Qingzhou's booklet had arrived, the ministers all stretched their heads to look around.

Even though he had been prepared in his heart, Emperor Xia Jing couldn't help applauding when he saw that Xingu Seeds yielded 788 jin per mu in the brochure.

"Good, good, good! This Jiang Wenyuan is really one of my lucky stars. The rice yield per mu is 788 catties, and only I, Daxia, can grow it all over the world, hahahaha!"

When the ministers saw the emperor's posture, it was a great joy.

So they congratulated in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting this fine breed."

Of course, no one dared to question Jiang Wenyuan's fraud this time.

Do you think the three sergeants sent by His Majesty are just a display?I didn't see that there were three bright red finger prints on the booklet!

In addition, the Secretary of Agriculture also sent two blueprints and an exquisite small object along with the booklet.

After Xia Jingdi read the letter, he realized that it was a new model of a threshing machine.

It's just such a not-so-complicated gadget that can more than double the efficiency of harvesting rice.

That is to say, the time required to harvest the same field and the same rice is only half of the previous time, or even less.

The Secretary of Agriculture suggested that it can be promoted nationwide from next year.

And it was only a two and a half year old child who put forward this idea.This child is Jiang Wenyuan's youngest daughter.

It is said that when she was harvesting rice, she saw a bucket for beating rice and suddenly drew it.After she finished drawing, she gave the picture to her father Jiang Wenyuan.

After reading it, Jiang Wenyuan felt that it was very feasible, so he asked them to study the details of the composition and painting together. After several experiments, he finally made a very usable finished product.

After going down to court, Emperor Xia Jing took the palm-sized, crumpled piece of paper that could barely be called a blueprint in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

The lines on the paper are crooked, and the outline can be vaguely seen.Yue Mo was drawn with something like sharpened thin charcoal, and the brushstrokes are very immature.

Considering the age of the painter, it is rare to be able to paint like this.

Emperor Xia Jing asked Li Deshun: "Is that little girl really so smart?"

Li Deshun said inscrutably: "This, what the servant said doesn't count. However, the servant heard that earlier this year, Divine Doctor Qiu took her into his sect as a closed disciple."

Hearing that Emperor Xia Jing was thoughtful.

Everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty knew the name of Miracle Doctor Qiu.

Even today's Grand Hospital is all his disciples, and at least half of the entire Tai Hospital are disciples of Bian Quegu.

The real master of masters.It was such a talented person who actually accepted a two-year-old girl as a closed disciple. This girl's talent can be seen.

Who doesn't want high-yield grains that are three times higher than ordinary grains.

Just when the ministers were thinking about it secretly, Jiang Wenyuan sent another booklet into the palace.

After Xia Jingdi read it, Zhu Biyu approved a large "Zhun" character, and attached a few lines of small characters in the blank space next to it.

"High-yield grain seeds and sweet potatoes are related to the national system, and Jiang Wenyuan, the magistrate of Qingzhou County, has full authority to deal with them. Those who dare to stretch out their hands indiscriminately can cut them first and then play them."

After the approval, he ordered someone to take the sword with him, and sent the memorial to Qingzhou immediately.

Seeing this situation, some forces that were about to make a move immediately died down.

His Majesty's sword has been bestowed on him, and it would be foolish if he put it together again.

In addition, after Jiang Wenyuan received the emperor's approval and the emperor's sword, he was so moved that he wished he could devote himself to the emperor and die.

Holding the saber and facing the direction of the palace, shouted long live and kowtowed to thank you.

Jiang Wenyuan, a county magistrate who has only been in office for more than a year, has not only been made an earl, but now he is also given the emperor's sword, and enjoys the right to kill first and play later.

This kind of treatment is only available to the imperial envoys who patrol the Quartet on behalf of the emperor in all dynasties.

As the news spread, all the officials, big and small, in Lingzhou Prefecture felt envious and jealous, but that was all.

Being able to gain the trust of the emperor, Jiang Wenyuan felt a lot of pressure while being moved.

Fortunately, now that the power is in hand, there is no need to be shy when doing things. After all, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The time soon came to October in the speculation of all parties, and the sweet potatoes planted this year have arrived at the harvest time.

With the harvest of sweet potatoes planted by various families, Xijindu and Xiushuiwan are full of laughter.

The sweet potatoes they planted were well cared for. The high-yield ones were five thousand catties, and the low-yield ones were four thousand one to two hundred catties.

Except for the one hundred catties of seeds that each family was allowed to keep, the rest were sold to the county government for five cents per catty.Just this mu of land earned more than 20 taels of silver, and getting rid of poverty and becoming rich is no problem.

Anyone who grows sweet potatoes almost laughs.

After the existing sweet potatoes are harvested, the statistics show that 144 mu of sweet potatoes, excluding the 100 catties left by each family, have collected a total of 626400 catties.This does not include the 23 acres that the Jiang family planted after harvesting the watermelons.

After the zhezi was sent to the capital, another major earthquake was caused.

Emperor Xia Jing was overjoyed, and even ordered Jiang Wenyuan to be canonized as "Marquis of Qingzhou", a hereditary descendant of three generations, with thousands of households in the city.

His daughter, Jiang Yuqing, was conferred the title of "Xiangjun" and "Linghui" for her meritorious service in constructing and painting a new type of farm tool and rice-threshing machine.

All the officials envied and envied Jiang Wenyuan for being favored, but at the same time had to admire him. After all, he is really capable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a contemporary Shennong.
