Chapter 102: Magistrate Zhang's Shock
County Magistrate Zhang has been here for more than a year, and this is the first time he has seen so many people harvesting in the same field during the busy farming season.
He smiled and said to Wang Zhubu: "It seems that Shen Ruhai and his people are very good at dealing with people. Look, these people did not harvest their own fields, but came to help their family first."
Wang Zhubu also agreed with a smile: "He is a good person."
Magistrate Zhang and Chief Clerk Wang walked forward while talking about Shen Laosan's family.
Captain Zhang, who was following behind County Magistrate Zhang, was sweating profusely.
The magistrate actually attaches so much importance to Shen Ruhai's family.
Fortunately, when he came to the Shen family to reward Shen Mingzhu, he did not offend the Shen family. He also captured the troublemaker Li for the Shen family, thus forming a good relationship with the Shen family.
Otherwise, if Shen Ruhai stabbed him with a knife in front of the county magistrate, he would suffer the consequences.
Captain Zhang decided that he should be nicer to Shen Ruhai's family in the future.
When Shen Laosan and his family saw County Magistrate Zhang coming, they stopped harvesting, put down their sickles, straightened their clothes, and quickly came to County Magistrate Zhang.
"Greetings, His Excellency the Magistrate!"
County Magistrate Zhang looked at the heavy ears of rice in the fields and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
He waved his hand and said kindly:
"No need to be so polite. I just came here today to see your autumn harvest."
Shen Laosan walked up to Magistrate Zhang and asked, "What do you want, sir?"
Magistrate Zhang smiled and said, "I heard that your rice harvest is good, and the yield per mu is several times the normal yield. I came to see if it is true."
Shen Laosan already knew the purpose of County Magistrate Zhang's visit today, and he took the initiative to say:
"How about I ask someone to bring you a stool so you can sit next to it for a while while I re-plan the harvest of one acre of land and weigh it at the end?"
County Magistrate Zhang didn't want to cause them trouble, so he just sat on a big rock.
Upon seeing this, Shen Lao San did not say much. He asked his servant Qingsong to bring tea to County Magistrate Zhang, and then continued to arrange people to harvest.
Magistrate Zhang watched the harvest scene with great joy. He pointed at Shen Mingshu's busy figure and said to Chief Secretary Wang with a smile:
"Look, the two top candidates and the scholar of the Shen family are busy working in the fields!"
He pointed at Shen Mingzhu again, smiling even more brightly: "That little girl Shen Mingzhu is really strong."
Then, Magistrate Zhang's eyes fell on Shen Mingyu again and he laughed:
"This little fellow from Shen Ruhai's family is quite capable of commanding others, like a little adult."
"Haha, the Shen family is full of talented people!"
Wang Zhubu smiled along and gave a thumbs up to the Shen family again in his heart.
The scholars in the Shen family are really good. They are not like other scholars who are unable to carry anything, are lazy and cannot tell the difference between grains.
Everyone in the Shen family is very capable. Such a young child has the ability to lead. What will he be like when he grows up?
There is strength in numbers. Before long, Shen Laosan and his team had harvested an acre of rice.
Shen Laosan asked people to thresh the rice from the acre of land, and then asked someone to bring a large scale to weigh it in front of County Magistrate Zhang.
County Magistrate Zhang kept his eyes on the scale star, fearing that he would miss the yield of the Shen family's rice.
When the yield of one acre of land was weighed out, he was so surprised that his hands were shaking, and he exclaimed in ecstasy:
"Two thousand five hundred kilograms. The yield per mu is actually two thousand five hundred kilograms?"
When Magistrate Zhang shouted, everyone came running over and they were all stunned by the huge piles of rice.
Old man Shen was so shocked that he was speechless, the village chief was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears, and the others looked at County Magistrate Zhang in disbelief.
Someone shouted in disbelief: "How is it possible? The rice we grow only yields 600 kilograms per mu, and the better yields are only 700 kilograms. Even if Shen Laosan's rice is more than ours, it can't be that much more.
When Magistrate Zhang saw that someone was doubting him, he said unhappily, "How dare you doubt me? How dare I lie to you?"
When the man saw that the magistrate was angry, he realized that he was refuting the magistrate. He was so scared that he immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake. Magistrate Zhang waved his hand in a good mood.
"Forget it. If you don't believe me, just weigh it yourself."
Shen Lao San was afraid that County Magistrate Zhang would misunderstand him, so he quickly said:
"Sir, these 2,500 kilograms include some rice straw. Without the rice straw, there may only be about 1,900 kilograms."
In fact, what Shen Laosan said was quite conservative. Shen Mingzhu just asked the system to check it, and there are more than 2,100 kilograms of rice grains here in total.
Magistrate Zhang said excitedly: "Brother Shen! Even if the yield per mu is 1,900 kilograms, it is still a very high yield! In our Daqian Dynasty, the yield of rice per mu has never exceeded 800 kilograms."
Shen Ruhai knew that what Magistrate Zhang said was true and did not refute it.
Magistrate Zhang said excitedly, "Brother Shen, your rice production has broken our Daqian record. I need to report it to the court. Can you save this rice?"
Shen Laosan saw that County Magistrate Zhang's tone was full of negotiation, and County Magistrate Zhang looked at him with excitement and pleading eyes.
He thought for a moment and said to County Magistrate Zhang:
"Sir, I will save this rice, but we will eat some of it ourselves."
Nonsense, why don’t you eat the delicious new rice? How can you report to the court and neglect Zhuzhu’s food?
No matter how powerful the imperial court is, it cannot take away Zhuzhu’s food rations.
After County Magistrate Zhang and Shen Laosan had their talk, they excitedly prepared to leave.
When he saw the two mountains again, he remembered the matter of the peaks. Shen Laosan explained to the magistrate that these were Shen Mingzhu's tea mountain and medicinal herb mountain.
Magistrate Zhang was even more shocked and asked in surprise: "Tea mountain? Medicinal herb mountain? Is it a mountain where tea trees are planted and a mountain where medicinal herbs are planted?"
"Those two mountains full of stone ladders, are they used to grow tea trees and medicinal herbs?"
Magistrate Zhang felt that his heart was not feeling well. He covered his pounding chest and asked Shen Lao San:
"Could Miss Shen please take me for a walk on those two mountains?"
Shen Laosan and Shen Mingzhu accompanied County Magistrate Zhang to climb to the top of the tea mountain.
Along the way, County Magistrate Zhang found everything new and interesting. When he saw the river water being brought up from the mountain, he was so excited that he almost couldn't stand.
When he heard that this was the waterwheel invented by Shen Mingshu that could carry water up the mountain, County Magistrate Zhang, despite his trembling legs, insisted that Shen Mingshu take him to the river to see this magical artifact.
County Magistrate Zhang and Chief Clerk Wang came out of Shenjia Village and sat in the carriage. Both of them could not digest the wonders they had seen today.
Magistrate Zhang touched his forehead and asked Chief Clerk Wang:
"Am I dreaming today? Did Shen Ruhai's family really grow 2,000 acres of high-yield rice?"
"Did we really see the terraced fields built on the mountain? Did we really see the waterwheel that could bring water up the mountain, and the automatic stone mill?"
County Magistrate Zhang felt that his brain was not enough and he thought he was dreaming.
Wang Zhubu also found it incredible. He said with certainty:
"Congratulations, Mr. Magistrate. These are all true. They were all made up by Shen Ruhai's family."
When Magistrate Zhang heard the affirmative answer, he took a deep breath and exclaimed, "The Shen family is my benefactor!"
Then, he changed his words: "No, the Shen family is our noble family in Daqian."
