Sister Han is good at farming

"So exaggerated?" Ruan Qingqing felt like she was dreaming. She was just planting a field, how could such a big noise be caused?

On the day of harvest, the hybrid rice fields were crowded with people.

As soon as the rice was harvested, someone else took it and started beating it in an open wooden basin five feet long, five feet wide and four feet high. After all the rice on a handful of rice ears had been beaten into the basin, the clean rice straw was thrown to the other side.

In the fields, the sounds of "crack, crack, crack" of rice being cut and "bang, bang, bang" of rice being hit could be heard one after another.

Ruan Qingqing wore a straw hat and closed her eyes, listening to the familiar voice, and she couldn't help feeling satisfied.

The plan was to plant 50 mu of land, but in the end, 52 mu of land was planted. Old Ruan's family planted 20 mu, and Ruan Qingqing's family planted 32 mu.

There were many people helping out, and the 52 mu of land was harvested in less than three days. The harvested rice was then dried in the sun for three days.

Fortunately, when Ruan Qingqing built his house later, he no longer built a quadrangle, but twelve rooms lined up in a row, and built a large wall in front and back, so there was still land for drying rice.

When the weigh-in took place, Ruan Qingqing's house was crowded with people.

"One stone, two stones, three stones..." The person in charge of the scale reported the values ​​in a loud voice.

"Sishui, make some louder noises, don't act like you haven't had a full meal! Everyone is waiting to hear the final result!"

There was a sudden burst of dissatisfaction among the crowd watching the excitement.

"Quiet, quiet! If everyone can't calm down, we won't weigh them anymore. Let's wait a few days." Fu Yuanhao threatened when he saw that the words of the people who were helping to maintain the situation were not working.

"Sir, we are also curious whether this hybrid rice is really as high-yielding as Miss Qingqing said!"

Someone requested hurriedly.

"Then everyone should be quiet later. It's like thousands of ducks are quacking in my ears at the same time, which is giving me a headache!" Fu Yuanhao shook his head irritably.

The orders issued by him as the prefect were very effective. Everyone immediately stood aside in an orderly and honest manner, waiting for the result.

"A total of six hundred and twenty-four stones of rice!"

As soon as the results came out, the entire Zaoziling was in an uproar!

"Fifty-two mu of land actually produced 624 dan of rice! The average yield per mu is 12 dan! What kind of magical rice seed is this?"

"Qingqing! You have to give us some of the seeds of this high-yielding rice!"

"Don't worry! I have prepared all the seeds needed for spring plowing and summer sowing next year! This is an experiment, so I didn't share them among everyone. Now that the yield has been determined, we can promote it in Zaoziling next year!" Ruan Qingqing explained to everyone.

Fu Yuanhao smiled slightly after hearing this, "I think we should not just promote it in Zaoziling, but directly promote it in our entire Lulin Mansion!"

Ruan Qingqing's face darkened. "There are not enough seeds. This kind of hybrid rice has a characteristic. The seeds must be made on the spot, and the hybrid rice grown cannot be kept as seeds. For example, if the rice harvested this year is used as rice seeds, not only will the yield not increase next year, it may also lead to a significant crop failure!"

"Then you have to produce more of this seed as soon as possible. I guess the imperial edict will come down soon. The emperor may ask you to promote it nationwide." Yuan Pingzhang said lazily while waving his fan.

"I'll try my best!" Ruan Qingqing didn't dare to say the full answer.

A high-yield rice variety was found in Zaoziling, with an output of 12 dan per mu. Once the news spread, the court was shocked.

Murong Jinyang couldn't wait to snatch the message from the secret guard and read it quickly.

"Haha! God truly blesses our Yunqing Nation. Immediately after the war, a divine species appeared!"

After Murong Jinyang felt happy, he saw many memorials on the desk urging for food and grass, and he couldn't help but frown in annoyance.

"Your Majesty, let them use their own people to go to Qingshui County to collect the food and grass shortage at Jialing Pass! Since the divine species appeared in Qingshui County, it was able to produce 200,000 shi of food and grass within a month. So now it shouldn't be a problem to supply the food and grass needed by the soldiers at Xiyu Pass and Jialing Pass at the same time!"

Zhou Che suggested.

Murong Jinyang pressed his forehead, thought carefully, and nodded repeatedly.

"There is really no way to spare food and grass from other places, so this is the only way! Qingshui County is truly my blessed county! Lord Zhou, I will reward the people of Qingshui County!"

"This is what they deserve!" Zhou Che bowed deeply to him.

Murong Jinyang seemed to be hurt by this scene, and immediately stepped forward to help, "Alas! Lord Zhou, I have already told you. You are not allowed to perform such a big ceremony in private!"

"Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abolished!" Zhou Che said sternly.

"Alright! Alright! It's up to you!" Murong Jinyang waved his hands irritably. "Lord Zhou, help me draft an edict and have Jialing Pass send people to Qingshui County in Lulin to collect food and grass. At the same time, give Shi Anzhi an order to assist the people from Jialing Pass and Xiyu Pass in collecting food and grass!"

"As you wish!" Zhou Che bowed his head and accepted the order.

At that time, Ruan Qingqing didn't know that because of the high-yield hybrid rice she developed, their small county would have to bear the food and fodder problems of two border checkpoints.

After harvesting rice, sorghum, corn and sweet potatoes, they immediately started to plow the soil, fertilize the land and plant wheat.

At this time, Shi Anzhi and his team were nearing the end of their land reclamation work. Ruan Qingqing taught them how to burn manure and prepare to plant rapeseed.

Everyone did the first few steps well, but when it came to the last step of pouring human and animal feces on the dung pile, they refused to do it even if they died.

"Water it with human and animal feces and let it ferment for one or two nights, and it will be the simplest and most useful fertilizer in the world! Rapeseed also needs some fertilizer. Especially for the newly reclaimed land."

Ruan Qingqing explained patiently.

Shi Anzhi and the others looked at each other, and shook their heads like rattles while backing away.

"Please spare us! We really can't stand the human and animal feces!"

"Are you disgusted with it already? Crops won't grow well without these fertilizers!" Ruan Qingqing narrowed her eyes dangerously and glanced coldly at Yan Yikuan and the others.

"This general suggests that you should just do what Miss Ruan said. If you dislike the filth now, why don't you dislike it when you eat? Put aside your pretentiousness and learn it well. It may be the straw that saves your life someday!"

"General Shen!" Ruan Qingqing was surprised. "Aren't you in charge of guarding the border at Jialing Pass with my eldest brother? How come you have time to come back to Qingshui County?"

Shen Zhizui smiled at Ruan Qingqing, "Miss Ruan, I have official business to attend to. I was ordered to return to Qingshui County to collect food and fodder! Whether we all go to the battlefield on an empty stomach or after eating a full stomach depends on you!"

"What do you mean?" Ruan Qingqing frowned slightly.

"Now, the whole country of Yunqing is short of food, and our border is even worse! Before I returned to our Qingshui County, the soldiers stationed in Jialing Pass were growing barley to cope with the shortage of food."
