Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 364 Harvest
There were also people who laughed at the Su family, planting what they didn't want to plant in the grass temple that was not worth much, and waiting for the autumn harvest to cry to death.

Of course, some people thought that the Su family might have obtained some inside information, so they went up to ask quietly, but they didn't get any valuable answers.

So those who are interested will also plant an acre or two of grass cotton. If the price rises by then, they may be able to earn more.

Pingnan County is different from the south, there will be less rain, especially during the period from Grain Rain to Lixia, and this time happens to be the time when the fields are filled with grain.

Therefore, it is necessary to check the water in the ground from time to time, pick up water for irrigation at any time, and weeding frequently.The temperature rises in Lixia, and weeds grow wildly. If they are not removed, they will cover the fields in a few days, which will greatly affect the growth of wheat.

At the same time, the rapeseed is about to mature, and those who are able to do so can go to the field. If they can’t just repair farm tools at home, they will prepare for the upcoming summer harvest.

In addition to paying attention to the affairs of Zhuangzi, Jiang Rong'an was dealing with some chores, preparing for the reconstruction of the charity hall, and specially invited a blind fortune teller in the county to count the days.

The blind fortune-teller is good at fortune-telling and is good at reading the day, so many people like to ask about anything, so his life is not bad.

The blind man didn't expect that he would also enter the county government one day. He was still nervous at first, but he was relieved after hearing the reason. He felt that rebuilding the Charity Hall was a great event, and it was also a good thing. day.

It was finally set on June [-]th, just after the Slight Heat, and the weather is indeed hot, but this year happens to be a leap year, and next month will happen to be leap June, which is not suitable.

"Although the weather is hot, the days are long, and working in the morning and evening can still avoid the heat. My lord wants to rebuild the charity hall, so I'm afraid that wood and other materials should be prepared in advance."

The blind man had heard about Jiang Rongan's actions over the past year, and spoke highly of him.

"Thank you, I'll have someone take you back." Jiang Rongan nodded and was about to call someone.

But the blind man asked, "I don't know if your lord intends to repair the earth temple?"

"These officials have arrangements, but time, manpower and financial resources are limited, so they can only come one by one. I'm sorry for the teacher's concern." Jiang Rongan said, and handed over a red envelope, "This is for your hard work."

"The hard work is unnecessary. Take it as part of my heart, and call me again when the beam is about to be laid." The old blind man waved his hand, "The old blind man will just wait for the good news from your lord."

Afterwards, Jiang Rong'an went to look at the situation of the Earth Temple. It was indeed very dilapidated, and said that repairing it would be better than rebuilding it.Then he went to Qingshui Taoist Temple on the east mountain.

The Taoist temple is very small, and few people usually come up to it. Sanqing is enshrined, but no one lives there to take care of it, and it looks like weeds are overgrown.However, the building is a solid bluestone brick and wood structure, but because there are many dust and spider webs, it is not dilapidated, and it will be fine with a little repair.

After observing, Jiang Rongan had an idea about spending in his mind.The people in the charity hall are also old, weak, sick and disabled. They have relief on weekdays, and those who are active will find some work to do. They are all soft-hearted people. Give them some work and just give them a little money. .

Seeing this, Jiang Rong'an felt that a family like the Su family could arrange a batch of things for the people in the charity hall to do, such as peeling cotton seeds, rubbing slivers and other tasks that did not require physical strength.

Giving money after the work is done may not be much, but at least it will make them feel their own value, and they will not have the idea of ​​sitting and waiting for death.

Of course, this matter still needs to be discussed again. If it can't be arranged, you can only find a way by yourself.

The weather is gradually getting hotter, and when we reach Xiaoman, the wheat is not yet full and ripe, but a good harvest is already foreseeable, as long as the gods will help us not to rain in the coming time.

Farmers can't wait to sleep on the edge of the field all the time, especially those on Zhuangzi, watching the changes in the field day by day, their hearts are so hot.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, but the people in Pingnan County don't have much thought about it. At this time, it is the critical time of wheat harvest, and they are rushing for time.

Aunt Ting made a lot of sweet rice dumplings, but Gu Qingya didn't have much appetite, instead she kept feeling sleepy.

She only wove half of the ice jade silk sent last year in one winter, and spent the rest of the time studying flannel.

Not long ago, Gu Qingya received a letter from the capital stating that Chen Wenyue was already engaged and would be married in March next year.

She calculated the time by herself. She might not have much time to weave after giving birth, so she could only make some every day before giving birth, and send it to the capital with the prepared flannelette at that time.

Cheng Shui wanted to help, it was more complicated than plain weave cotton, she couldn't remember, so she had to keep an eye on the time every day, and let Gu Qingya go to rest when the time came.

At this time, Jiang Rong'an was staring at the harvest in the village, and strictly required that the grain planted on the marked land be counted separately.

At this time, he was also very nervous. The wheat is growing well, and it will look good when it blooms in Lixia. Experienced people say that there will be a good harvest, but everything is not accurate before the steelyard. .

Fortunately, these days are beautiful, there is no rain, and the sun has been seldom. The wheat is spread on the reed mat for two or three days, and the weight at this time is not much worse than when it was stored.

Jiang Rong'an couldn't sit still, and was about to see the crowds in person, when Uncle Yuan ran over excitedly, "My lord, my lord, good news, good news, those who added fertilizer reached four stones per acre, four Stone!"

Maybe other people don't understand what four stones is, but for those who plan their food in the ground, the top-notch fields, plus God's favor, can harvest one and a half stones and two stones is already a bumper harvest, what is the concept of four stones? , I can't even imagine it!
If every mu of land can do this, how can there be people who can't eat enough?

Jiang Rong'an stood up abruptly and took a deep breath: "Master Yuan, what you said is true, don't deceive me."

"My lord, how dare I be old. You can go and see for yourself. It's true." Of course, Uncle Yuan understood Jiang Rongan's concerns.

Jiang Rongan hurried over and took a closer look. It was indeed the case. The acres that had been fertilized had a good harvest, while the ones that had not used fertilizer were only about one and a half stones per mu, and those that had used manure were two to two and a half stones on average. , the difference is really too big.

"My lord, can this matter be made public?" Uncle Yuan asked boldly, who could resist such a happy event, always wanting to share it with others, but they planted it with their own hands, there is absolutely no adulteration.

Jiang Rongan shook his head, "No, it's not yet time, wait until the autumn harvest." Thinking of last year's talk about changing the seeds, not many people responded, "But you can mention the matter of changing the seeds again."

"Yes, my lord." Uncle Yuan felt a little regretful. Although he couldn't tell the outside world, those who work in the Zhuangzi will be able to share the fertilizer. When the time comes, they will sprinkle it on their own fields, and the autumn harvest will definitely be the same. Everyone's eyes are bright. It works better than any words.
