After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

"No, I plan to present it to the court and find a job for my brother in the government."

"Ah." Everyone in the family was shocked.

Ye Dalang was even more moved. His brothers were either studying or learning a craft.

He was a little envious, but he was the eldest brother and had to help his father support the family, so he could only earn a living by working in the fields.

He didn't expect that there was someone in his family who was thinking about him and silently helping him plan.

"The village is trying to build a wharf now. If we can report the increase in production, while Mr. Wu is still here, we will have a good chance of getting it."

The family members fell into deep thought. They also knew that the county government attached great importance to grain, and this contribution would definitely bring benefits to the family.

"Go ahead and donate it. You also said that Lord Wu has a deep affection for our village. If the next county magistrate takes all the credit, we won't be able to do anything." Old Man Ye made the decision.

Ye Qing glanced at the others and no one objected.

"Brother, as for the records on the compost pile, you should sort them out in the next two days and submit them together."

Ye Dalang nodded obediently. At first, when Ye Qing asked him to record, he thought it was troublesome, but now he was grateful.

The family members have discussed it and Old Man Ye and Dalang Ye have been inspecting the fields recently. They want to ensure that the production will increase this year before they offer it up.

There are still two or three days left until the end of the month, and the wheat in the fields can already be seen to be producing high yields.

Boss Ye took his eldest son to find the head of the village. Ye Qing did not go this time. She had made arrangements at home and believed that her eldest brother and the others could do it.

The headman's family also planted the new seeds given by Ye Qing this year. He thought that the wheat grew well because of the good weather this year, but it turned out to be because of the seeds.

"This is a big event in the village. By donating the seeds, the construction of the wharf in our village will be secured." The head of the village felt confident and spoke more confidently.

"It's better to do it today than to wait for another day. Let's go today." Boss Ye had something on his mind and wanted to finish it quickly.

"Wait a little longer. Now that we are sure, our village can't eat up all the food, so we need to find some people to share the burden with us."

"How do we share the burden?" Ye Dalang asked.

"I'll go to Ji Village and ask them to buy some land. When the wharf is built, our two villages will advance and retreat together to keep this wealth."

Boss Ye and his son looked at the head of the village with admiration, thinking that experience always makes the most sense.

The head of the village asked his son to take him to Ji Village, and he came back soon with a smile on his face.

Ye Qing went to the warehouse of the original winery and happened to meet the returning head of the village.

"Grandpa Lizheng, what are you so happy about?"

"Qingya, I just went to Ji Village and told them about this. We gave them two days to buy the land. They are very grateful to us."

Ye Qing thought for a moment and realized the benefits of this matter.

A wharf is planned to be built here in the future. Even if these two villages are local tyrants, as long as they are of the same origin, they can share more benefits.

On the afternoon of the next day, the head of Ji Village came specially and everyone in Ji Village bought land.

The head of the village took Boss Ye and his son to the yamen early in the morning and asked a yamen runner to help tell Lord Wu.

When Lord Wu heard that they were coming, he thought that everyone in their village was sensible and was willing to meet them.

"I am the head of Kaoshan Village and I am here to greet you, sir." The head of the village first took Ye Lao Da and his son to pay their respects.

"Why are you here? The village is in trouble." Lord Wu was in a good mood today and spoke to the two of them in a friendly manner.

"Sir, our village has developed a new seed that can produce one hundred kilograms more per mu than ordinary seeds."

When Lord Wu heard this, the smile on his face disappeared.

"Ye Lizheng, you can't say such things casually." Lord Wu didn't believe it. No one had mentioned any new seeds in all these years.

"I dare not lie to you, sir. We have planted dozens of acres of new seeds in our village. When it's time to harvest, please come and have a look."

Lord Wu then believed it a little bit. He thought it would not take long to harvest, and Kaoshan Village would not dare to deceive him like this.

"Whoever has researched the new seeds, tell him to tell me in detail."

Ye Lizheng introduced Ye Dalang to Lord Wu, "This is Ye Chenchuan, he was the one who researched it."

"Sir, this is the record made by the boy."

Lord Wu took the booklet and read it carefully. It contained data from the past two years, including weather, temperature, humidity, and some other factors. One could tell at a glance that a lot of effort had been put into it.

"Okay, okay, when will your village harvest the wheat? I'll take people to take a look." Lord Wu already believed it 90%. He hasn't stepped down yet, so the credit still belongs to him. The village will prosper thanks to him.

"It will be almost ready for harvest in ten days. I will come and tell the adults in advance when the village starts harvesting wheat." The head of the village was thoughtful.

"When you arrive, go find the runner Zhang directly. I will tell him to tell me immediately when he gets the news." Lord Wu took this matter very seriously.

"Sir, I have a compost record here. With the new seeds, the fertility must also be kept up."

Although Lord Wu does not know how to farm, he knows that the success of crops depends on fertilizer.

By the time he finished reading the rest of the record, he was so happy that he stood up and asked someone to bring stools for the three people.

This composting method is not difficult and can be done anywhere. If it is promoted throughout Wu'an City, it can generate a lot of extra tax revenue each year.

"You're a good young man. You're so capable at such a young age."

After praising Ye Dalang, he praised the village head, "You have done a very good job. It is very important to encourage people to study agriculture and sericulture. If it is really as you said, I will reward you handsomely."

The head of the village was worried that the wharf would be settled in ten days, so he quickly said, "Sir, there is also a place in our village that is suitable for building a wharf. If it can increase production, can it be built in our village?"

"So your village will definitely be given priority in this plan you have." Lord Wu did not give any guarantees.

After hearing this, Ye Lizheng was not disappointed. They just wanted to give Lord Wu a heads up in advance.

Once there are results in the field, it is time to make demands.

The weather was fine until the wheat was ripe, and there was no rain at all.

"Brother, is the wheat in the field ripe?"

"It's almost done. We plan to go find Lord Wu tomorrow and harvest the day after tomorrow." Ye Dalang had just finished checking the fields.

"Brother, don't let them see the wheat in your experimental field for now. The seeds there are not very stable yet." Ye Qing reminded.

"I'll listen to you. We'll keep the seeds there and sell them later." Ye Dalang agreed readily.

Lord Wu replied quickly, saying that he would come over early the day after tomorrow morning and that we would harvest the wheat after his arrival.

At the agreed time, Lord Wu arrived in a carriage with his bailiffs.

Ever since the head of the village knew that Lord Wu was coming, he built a thatched pavilion on the ground for Lord Wu to rest in.

I also picked a few watermelons and put them in the well to keep them cool, waiting for Lord Wu to arrive and then bring them over.

Other families in the village were very concerned and came to help Mr. Ye harvest the wheat.
