You are my golden finger

They called the clan leader and the village head and asked them to arrange people to plant trees along the road. Koelreuteria paniculata, osmanthus trees and camphor trees were mainly planted in sections along the village road. Koelreuteria paniculata was planted in the part connecting to the town, osmanthus trees were planted in the section at the entrance of the village, camphor trees were planted from the center to the end of the village, and willow trees were planted in the empty spaces beside the pond and river embankment.

As for the fruit trees, the villagers were allowed to take what they needed and plant them in front of and behind their houses. When they were given, no more than five trees of each kind could be given to prevent some villagers from being too greedy and taking them to take care of relatives and friends as a favor. This was of course due to the limited number of saplings prepared by Lin Xijin.

The saplings for the roadside trees were all provided free of charge by Lin Xijin. The fruit trees were also temporarily free of charge, but the clan leader and the village head required the villagers to return 10 kilograms of fruit after each fruit tree sapling bore fruit. The villagers were happy to do so.

The children went to school, so Lin Xijin could only arrange for two stewards in the family to help with the registration. After the villagers had received their gifts, she asked the servants in the family who were free to plant fruit trees in the empty space in the yard, three or five trees of each kind, and also planted a few osmanthus trees.

After planting at home, we moved to the valley where the tree pits were dug. Strength lies in numbers, and now that there are more people at home, the fruit trees were planted quickly.

Some are also planted in the farms in the town.

The planting of medicinal herbs was handed over to the clan leader, who asked the villagers to plant them. It happened to be a rest day for the clan school, so a few boys also ran to help distribute the medicinal herb seedlings and help with the registration.

Lin Xijin brought two court doctors, Zhou Shimin, a servant who had just been bought and knew how to grow medicinal herbs, and six children including Lin Muhua and Banxia, ​​to guide and inspect the villagers' planting situation. After the explanation, everyone gained a lot.

Lin Xijin reserved 20 mu of the wasteland at the foot of the mountain to plant sorghum, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, planting 5 mu of each, mainly to facilitate demonstration to the villagers. Lin Xijin reserved 10 ridges of the wasteland in the valley to plant watermelons and cantaloupes, and planted all the other ridges with medicinal herbs.

All the farms in the town and the capital were used to grow food, mainly corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and some sorghum was also grown. Since brewing wine requires a lot of sorghum and rice, Lin Xijin had already arranged for people to buy them to conceal their tracks. They were stored in the courtyards in the county and the farms in the capital.

Planting medicinal herbs is much faster than clearing land. In order to ensure that all villagers have an income, Lin Xijin asked the clan leader and the village head to select a laborer with planting experience from each household to help plant medicinal herbs. It only took five or six days to plant all the herbs.

Daya and Erhu from Sanpo's family both went to school, so Lin Xijin specially notified her to come home to help Aunt Muxiong and others so that she could relax a little.

Grandma San was a grateful person, and I wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her.

In order to ensure the survival rate of the medicinal materials, Lin Xijin poured spiritual spring water into the pond at home, let them drain along the drainage ditch to the fields outside, and asked the villagers to sprinkle them all over.

The fruit trees planted in the yard are irrigated by the servants of the planting and breeding team.

The medicinal trees and fruit trees in the two valleys can only be automatically sprayed by Lin Xijin's human-shaped fully automatic fountain when the moon is dark and the wind is strong.

Planting trees and medicinal herbs, as well as crops, is also on the agenda.

This time, Lin Xijin ran a little further, to the house he bought in the county, and released four kinds of seeds: hybrid corn, sorghum, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, each of which was 10,000 kilograms, and he also wrote down in detail the planting essentials of various crops. Naturally, Shangguan Rui became the scapegoat again.

After returning from the county, I first stopped by the farm in my town and asked them to calculate how much land they had and how much of each kind to prepare. After the calculation, I went to the county to get seeds.

The grain seeds from Zhuangzi in Kyoto have been told to the owner of a restaurant in the town, asking him to notify Shangguan Rui to send someone to deliver them. I believe Shangguan Rui will also be very interested in high-yield crop seeds and will get involved, so I might as well do him a favor.

When he returned to Zhangshutou in the village, he happened to meet the clan leader inspecting the fish pond. Lin Xijin told him that the seeds of high-yield grains had arrived, and asked him to talk to the head of the village, count how many seeds each household needed, and then send someone to the county to bring them back, and also gave him some planting materials for the crops.

When the patriarch saw the grain yield per mu, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped in shock.

"Jin girl, is this true? Can the yield really be so high?" the patriarch murmured.

"Master, this is of course true. This is the grain seeds that Master Shangguan found from somewhere else. They have already been planted elsewhere and have yielded a bumper harvest. Even so, ordinary people cannot buy them, so for now we can only focus on our village."

Lin Xijin, the big liar, could only use his biggest trick, and Shangguan Rui, who was far away in Kyoto, had to bear even more blame.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll go find the head of the village right away, count the quantities, and then send people to the county to get grain seeds." The clan leader said repeatedly.

Soon, the bell of Zhangshutou rang, and every household gathered at Zhangshutou to count the crop seeds they needed. The price of seeds was still determined by the old method: one kilogram of seeds would be returned with ten kilograms of grain in the autumn.

The villagers can now have enough food and warm clothes, and have some extra money on hand, all thanks to Lin Xijin. So now the villagers have a blind trust in her. Upon hearing the news, they all came to sign up for grain seeds without saying a word, for fear that it would be too late and it would not be their turn.

In just half an afternoon, the number of seeds the villagers wanted was counted.

Lin Xijin told the driver to go with Uncle Jianan and the villagers to transport crop seeds the next day, and then he went to the school to teach math to the children.

I have attended three classes before.

In the first class, Lin Xijin listed the jobs that can be done by people who are illiterate and those who are literate, and those who cannot keep accounts and those who can, as well as the comparison of their incomes, so that these children can fully realize the importance of literacy and math.

Starting from the people and things around him, to Mr. Liang, the clerks and shopkeepers in the town, and Shangguan Rui, who is well known to everyone. These examples are familiar to everyone, and the children even use Lin Xijin as an example to motivate themselves. It can be said that Lin Xijin's brainwashing was very successful, making these children in the village full of motivation to study.

"Sister Jin, I will work hard! I want to be like you and help everyone make money!"

"Okay! I'm rooting for you! Come on!"

After Lin Xijin was so excited, she gushed out passionate words one after another, so much so that when the children went back to imitate her, the adults in the night class also clamored to have math classes.

Lin Xijin handed this task to Xinfeng and Xingwen, the two children who were slightly older and more mature and stable.

The two of them lived up to expectations and performed very well. After Lin Xijin followed them for a night, she felt relieved and left the rest to them.

After entering the school, Lin Xijin was not surprised to find that the clan leader, the village head and several old men were also in the classroom.

Today, they were teaching addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers. Lin Xijin simply used the example of each household buying grain seeds and asked them to count the number of crop seeds to be purchased between the same table or the tables in front and behind. Sure enough, this fully aroused the children's enthusiasm for learning and they quickly got into the calculations.

Finally, the village head and clan leader were invited to give everyone a question to do. Those who answered correctly were rewarded with three fruit candies, and those who answered incorrectly were only rewarded with one. Most of the people answered correctly and jumped up and down when they received the reward. They were reluctant to eat it and wanted to save it to show their parents the credit!

Although those who didn't succeed also received a candy, they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. However, the candy in their hands undoubtedly aroused their fighting spirit, and they secretly made up their minds to work hard and strive to win the prize next time.

Therefore, even on days when they didn't have math classes, these children would still count on their fingers and hold counting sticks to learn, and Xihui, Xinfeng and other fast learners became everyone's tutors. Of course, this is a story for later.
