A batch of grain was obtained from the county town, and the price was normal. Although compared with the more than 30,000 people in the city, these two thousand stones of grain were not much, but it also reduced the anxiety caused by the lack of food in the hearts of the people.<

/p>

But Xu Yuanru, who was holding two thousand stones of grain money, couldn't be happy. She wanted to donate grain to the people of Qingping County to make Lu Jin look at her with admiration. But why did Lu Jin's few words turn into selling grain?

?

She does not lack the more than one thousand taels of silver. What she wants is to improve her position in Lu Jin's heart, and to gain a good reputation as a kind-hearted person.

But Lu Jin not only confiscated her food, but also gave her the money for the food coldly and arrogantly, as if to show off to her that he was not short of money and to stop her from using these little tricks to covet him. This made her very angry.

My heart is blocked.

With this batch of grain, the pressure on the city's food shortage has been alleviated, and the pressure on Lu Jin's shoulders has been reduced a lot. Those grain merchants who are still thinking about hoarding grain and selling it at high prices are no longer calm. No one knows what Lu Jin has in his hands.

How much food is left? If there is enough food to last until the autumn harvest, they will have to lose all this food.

After discussion with several grain merchants headed by the Fang family, they finally had no choice but to open their doors for business, and the price of grain could not be higher than that of the county magistrate.

Lu Jin was very satisfied with the result and even made a rich grain list for these grain merchants who took the initiative to sell grain.

The grains sold by Xu Yuanru were attributed to the Xu clan by Lu Jin, and the Xu clan in Hedong Village was named after them. Although they were not at the top of the rich grain list, they were still on the list.

Some members of the Xu clan went to the city to buy grain and saw it. Curious, they went to the Yamen to inquire and found out that the grain was sold by Xu Yuanru. When they returned to the village and told the clan members, everyone was shocked that Xu Yuanru could get such a large batch of grain?<

/p>

The most important thing is, wasn’t it said before that we had no money or food?

During the snowstorm, how did she get the chance to eat with the Xu clan on the grain that the county magistrate borrowed from the people in the east of the village?

This girl really has no conscience!

Then, she thought that she would have a lot of money on hand after selling so much grain. Now the Xu family is exiled here. When we were exiled together, the people in the clan also took good care of Xu Yuanru. After settling down, they should help each other.

.

She holds so much money all by herself, but she sees her people starving? Her conscience is broken!

After the news spread in the west of the village, everyone in the Xu family who saw her glared at her, and some even had a bad temper and scolded her when they saw her: "There is so much food that we don't keep for ourselves. The Xu family is like this. Why don't you use it?"

Go out and show off?"

Xu Yuanru didn't know what happened at first, but when she learned that the county magistrate had made a list of rich people, she originally wanted to marry Lu Jin, but now she is so angry with Lu Jin.

Xu Yuanru was suffocating in her heart. She didn't seek fame or fortune. She just wanted the little county magistrate to look at her with admiration. Why did she get such a list for her that didn't even have her name on it? Is he such a deceitful person?

At this time, Lu Jin no longer worried about the food in the city. After finishing the last banana muffins and pig head meat, his mouth always felt bland, so he took Qingshu to Hedong Village again, euphemistically called it, inspection. !

Lin Xiaoman's seedlings have grown an inch tall. She has applied some organic fertilizer, and each seedling has grown very strong. When the weather is nice, she will open the doors and windows to let some air out. As long as it is more than half a month later, the weather will be warmer. Once it warms up, these seedlings can be planted in the ground.

Lin Daqiang publicized the news in the village that Lin Xiaoman's family wanted to grow peppers and several types of high-yielding grains that no one had seen before. If anyone wanted to plant them, they should go to Lin Xiaoman to order seedlings and seeds.

Some people who wanted to plant peppers last year came to Lin Xiaoman early, fearing that they would be gone if they were too late. After asking about high-yielding grain crops, they also ordered some with Lin Xiaoman, but the quantity was not very large. After all, no one had I have seen how high-yielding grain varieties are, and I have never even seen the kind of grain Lin Xiaoman mentioned. What if I can’t eat it or the yield is not that high?

However, Lin Dajiao has decided to plant Lin Xiaoman's grain, vegetable seeds and seedlings in the wasteland opened this year. Anyway, no grain tax will be collected in the first three years of opening up wasteland. If the harvest is not good, it will be too late to replace it next year.

Even Lin Daqiang's family also decided to plant with Lin Xiaoman under her mobilization.

When Lu Jin came to the door of Lin Xiaoman's house, what he saw was that it was crowded with people. Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu set up a table in front of the door, taking pen and paper to record the number of seedlings and seeds these people wanted.

Someone saw Lu Jin coming with Qing Shu and shouted: "The county magistrate is here."

Only then did everyone see the two masters and servants standing outside the crowd in casual clothes. They didn't know how long they had been standing there.

Lin Daqiang was also helping the crowd to maintain order. When he heard that the county magistrate was coming, he immediately gave way to the crowd and invited the county magistrate inside. "Sir, our village is registering the crops to be planted this year. Sir and Brother Qingshu, can you just sit down and wait for a while?"

Can Lu Jin say no? He came here in casual clothes today just because he didn't want to attract the attention of the villagers. Unexpectedly, almost the whole village gathered here, which is really surprising.

Lu Jin was also curious about what Lin Xiaoman wanted the villagers to plant. He knew that Lin Xiaoman had got some good things that he had never seen before, but he didn't expect there to be so many. Does the whole Hedong village have to follow suit? Hers Can the seeds be used?

Seeing Lu Jin nod, Lin Daqiang trotted into the courtyard and moved two small benches for them to sit aside and wait.

Xu was familiar with it, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with this arrangement. Even the presence of the county magistrate in person was not as important to him as recording the grains that the villagers wanted to grow.

Lu Jin saw several bowls placed on the table in front of Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu. The bowls contained cooked food. After asking one by one, he learned that these were called slag porridge, squid sweet potatoes and squid potatoes.

After tasting it, although it is very different from white rice, there is no doubt that these are good things that can fill the stomach, especially these are not only filling, but also high-yielding, with the yield several times higher than that of rice.

At the same time, Lin Xiaoman can also order a high-yield rice seedling here, with the yield at least double that of the current rice.

Even Lu Jin was shocked this time. What does doubling mean? If rice seedlings with double the yield are planted all over the country, the country's autumn harvest will be able to harvest at least twice as much food. Doesn't it mean that the people no longer have to worry?

Are you hungry?

But obviously, many villagers don't quite believe in the pie painted by Lin Xiaoman. In addition to Lin Daqiang, there are several other families who have good relations with Lin Xiaoman's family. Most of them are only willing to plant peppers and use a little bit of land to try it out.

Almost no one wants to plant high-yielding rice seedlings such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.

There is also a bowl filled with white fluffy stuff, which is said to be cotton, which can be used to make winter clothes or spin and weave cloth. No one except Lin Dajiao wants to grow it.

Lu Jin watched for a while and understood what these people were worried about. It was just that they had planted the grain. Would the court be willing to collect land tax during the autumn harvest? Now that the cotton was grown, could it really be as good as Lin Xiaoman said?
