After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 87 Village Meeting

The idea of ​​double-season rice has taken root in Shen Tang's heart.

But she didn't graduate from an agronomy program and only knew the approximate sowing time.

In later times, not to mention double-season rice, even triple-season rice was available. However, in the Great Qi Dynasty, rice was only harvested once a year.

If I rashly propose the idea of ​​double-season rice, I'm sure no one will listen. Besides, I've only heard of it and have never tried it.

It is better to wait for a while for the harvest, and then sow the seeds a second time. Only when the seeds are grown will you be confident.

The matter that Shen Tang called on other villagers to discuss was a major event in Shenjia Village in recent days.

Three days later, only half of the village heads and elders from the dozen or so surrounding villages had arrived.

Among them, the head of the Linjia Village and the elders were the most enthusiastic and had been waiting at the door of the workshop early.

Today's meeting place is in the workshop's reception hall.

At 9 o'clock, Shen Tang slowly entered with the two sisters Shen Li and Shen Dan.

"Thank you all the village heads and elders for your hard work today."

Shen Tang said this and asked someone to serve tea to everyone.

"What is the matter that Boss Shen wants to discuss with us today?"

The one who spoke was Zhou Lizheng from Zhoujia Village. Shen Lizheng stood up and introduced Shen Tang.

Shen Tang didn't know Zhou Lizheng, but he had heard of Zhoujia Village.

Zhoujia Village is one of the top three villages among the dozen or so villages around it.

Shen Tang was really surprised that the elders of the Zhou family village could come.

"Sister Shen Li, please register all the village heads and elders who have come today, and give them a small gift when they leave."

"Everyone, Shen Tang invited you to come to Shenjia Village today to discuss matters. Actually, there is a good news that he would like to share with the brother villages."

When Shen Tang said this, everyone was confused.

Only Lin Lizheng looked excited.

Lin Lizheng: Here she comes, Shen Tang is coming with her rice that yields thousands of gold coins per mu.

"We've gathered everyone here today for this very reason. Shenjia Village will be planting a new kind of rice next year, and the seeds will be given priority for supplying to the surrounding villages."

Everyone was still puzzled.

Is there anything special about this new rice variety?

Then I heard Shen Tang speak slowly.

"The new rice seeds may yield 1,000 kilograms per mu."

"What! A thousand catties per mu!"

The living room was instantly like a drop of oil falling into boiling water.

"How is it possible to produce a thousand kilograms per mu?"

"I do not believe!"

In an instant, the whole living room became lively.

"It's true! It really yields a thousand kilograms per mu!"

Lin Li was frantically trying to persuade those around him who refused to believe.

After a while, the living room gradually quieted down, but Shen Tang's expression had changed.

"Boss Shen, you've already accumulated so much wealth at such a young age, far more than many men. But that doesn't mean you can tease us."

An elder from Zhoujia Village spoke.

"Boss Shen may be more successful than us in business, but he still doesn't have enough experience in farming."

The other party spoke very tactfully, but he was just short of saying directly, "Shen Tang, you don't understand farming."

"Don't worry, everyone. I know a 1,000-jin yield per mu is unbelievable to you. To be honest, I couldn't believe it when I first saw the rice. I only found out after consulting with an experienced farmer in the village."

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. If you are interested, please go and take a look at the rice ears in my rice fields."

Shen Tang expected that they would not believe it.

"Everyone, it's true. The rice ears are as wide as two of my fingers, and every grain is full."

Lin Li was the most anxious person in the whole place.

Others may not believe it, but he saw it with his own eyes.

Soon, a group of people passed by the fields of Shenjia Village.

Shen Lizheng led the way and walked in the front, with Shen Tang following behind.

Before they reached Shen Tang's fields, the people walking in front cried out in surprise.

"Look at those ears of rice! Those ears of rice!"

Shen Tang only felt that the person in front of him ran away in a flash.

"I have never seen such full ears of rice in my life!"

The person who said this was the Zhoujia Village elder who had just questioned Shen Tang in the reception room.

Someone tried to reach out and touch a handful of rice ears, but was stopped by the person next to him.

"You dare to touch this?"

"Yes, yes, I really couldn't help it."

He slapped his own hand as he said this.

The rice ears have gradually turned yellow, the grains are full, and each rice ear is bent down and hanging in the ground.

It is completely different from other upright rice ears.

A group of people who were about the same age as Shen Dashan, some of whom had gray hair, squatted by the rice field with red eyes.

"If there had been rice like this ten years ago, my youngest son wouldn't have starved to death."

"My daughter couldn't speak when I sent her away."

Some elderly elders in the clan were in tears.

I recall the tragic events that happened many years ago due to a poor harvest.

"Everyone, as you can see, this tiny two acres of land is enough to produce a thousand kilograms of rice per acre."

"I invited everyone here this time to share this rice seed with you all, which is why we are so anxious."

Shen Lizheng stood in front of the crowd and spoke.

"It's just that there are few rice seeds, and Shen Tang has already promised to give priority to Shenjia Village for the first batch of rice seeds. But Shenjia Village promised that after the rice seeds are planted in Shenjia Village, they will give priority to the villagers who are present today."

After hearing these words, everyone finally reacted.

In other words, those villages that did not come will not enjoy priority rights.

I couldn't help but feel fortunate that I came to Shenjia Village today.

Some people were thinking about what those who didn't come said behind their backs, and they felt that they were right not to listen to them.

"Boss Shen, I was reckless just now, and I want to apologize to you.

It’s just that the rice seeds are really needed in Zhoujia Village!”

The elders of Zhoujia Village began to get anxious.

Just now he questioned Shen Tang and said some relatively harsh words.

His Zhoujia Village has the largest number of villagers present today. Even those small villages combined are not as big as his Zhoujia Village.

If Shen Tang had held a grudge, Zhoujia Village would not have been able to obtain the rice seeds.

With the words spoken by the Zhou clan elders, everyone present apologized to Shen Tang.

"A yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu is absurd to me. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, Shen Tang wouldn't have believed it. Village heads and elders, please don't be so hypocritical."

"Everyone who came today has been registered. We will notify you first after the harvest in Shenjia Village next year."

With Shen Tang's words, everyone gradually felt relieved.

Now I just hope that the rice will mature soon so that my own village can also grow this amazing thousand-jin rice.

Some village heads and clan elders thought even further ahead and felt that they had made the right decision.

If the news about this rice gets out, they won’t be able to buy it.

It's amazing that such a good thing could come to mind for these people who don't want to do anything with each other.

Shen Tang is really a good person!

After a meeting today, everyone went home with smiles on their faces.

Some people even thought that those who didn't come would regret it so much when they knew the news today.
