Divide Money

Under the scorching sun, Linjia Village was more lively than ever before. Most of the villagers gathered around Aunt Jiang's yard. Everyone was impassioned, their faces flushed with excitement, and every one of them was even more excited than they were during the Chinese New Year.

"All the late rice in the village has been transplanted into the paddy fields. Magistrate Li, since you are here, I will take you to conduct an on-site inspection."

Jiang Yan told Lin Nan a few words and waved to County Magistrate Li. The success of late rice would be greater than the improvement of farm tools. Farm tools are only convenient for people to farm, but once late rice is successful, it will increase the amount of food.

harvest.

Food is a strategic material for the country and a necessity for people's lives.

As long as the people are full and live a better life, the country can be more stable and develop better. In the current Great China Dynasty, many places still have one rice per season, the grain output cannot increase, and the court's relief is not perfect.

There are refugees and beggars wandering around without enough food to eat.

Therefore, County Magistrate Li paid special attention to Late Rice. Putting aside his merits and promotion, he himself wanted the people to have enough food and clothing.

Jiang Yan led the way, and the villagers stepped back one after another to get out of the way. The originally crowded people quickly spread out, and everyone quietly raised their heads, with awe and curiosity towards the officials.

The 30 acres of paddy fields outside the village were too far away, so Jiang Yan didn't bother to take Magistrate Li there, and led people directly to the paddy fields in the village.

"Great, these rice seedlings are growing so well. I think the late rice you mentioned will definitely come true! Aunt Jiang, you are indeed a strange person."

All the rice seedlings in the village have been planted, and the fields are filled with plowed paddy fields. The rice seedlings inside are green and shiny. When the breeze blows, each plant sways in the wind, and together they form a large area, which looks like a large field.

Green ocean, drifting with the tide.

Huang Xian Cheng's eyes were full of joy, and his voice could not help but be excited: "We drove the carriage all the way. In other villages outside, the grains in the fields were all harvested. At a glance, apart from the large yellow open land, there were only a few left.

The grass is gone, only your Linjia Village is green and green everywhere."

Magistrate Li also nodded: "Yes, this scenery is difficult to see. Those who know it is autumn, but those who don't know, I thought spring has just begun in your Linjia Village."

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, without saying much. There were at least hundreds of households in Linjia Village, and each household had more than ten acres of land, including fields. Many people in the village who had grown peppers had followed suit. In addition,

Rice naturally causes this phenomenon.

County Magistrate Li's eyes moved slightly, with a somewhat inquiring tone: "Aunt Jiang, I think this late rice will be successful in nine out of ten. I will now arrange for other villages to also plant it. What do you think?"

His words were sincere and he didn't even call himself "official".

Jiang Yan shook her head, raised her head, pointed to the rice fields and said, "It takes time to cultivate seedlings, and now it's too late. Moreover, we don't dare to be sure that it will be done until the final harvest."

Jiang Yan admires County Magistrate Li's wholeheartedness for the people. If it can really succeed, she will naturally be happy to see it succeed. But about the late rice, she is confident because the seedlings from the mall are used. If the seeds of this era are used, the survival rate will be very high.

If it is too low, it may not be able to grow.

She continued to say slowly: "After the success of this batch, there will be cases in the coming year. It will not be too late for County Magistrate Li to arrange it by then. Moreover, there are few nearby villages, like Linjia Village, with nearby water sources. There is no water source."

, even this rice can’t survive.”

Magistrate Li sighed. He naturally understood the pros and cons, but thinking about the recent increase in refugees and beggars, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If these villages could grow late rice, there would still be so many refugees.

After walking around Linjia Village for several times, Magistrate Li left with satisfaction. The group of people left in a grand manner, leaving the whole Linjia Village still buzzing with excitement.

In the afternoon, the sunset gradually filled the horizon, and the threshing floor of Linjia Village was bustling with a big pot of rice being cooked.

Today is a happy day that only happens once in a hundred years in Linjia Village. The village chief and Li Zheng are in charge. Since the middle-aged father-in-law provides money, which is the village fund, the whole village eats a big pot of rice. The men go to the town early to cut meat and buy vegetables. After returning, the women can conveniently ask for food.

The started to light the fire and cook.

The village eats a big pot meal once a year, but it always happens during the Chinese New Year, which is equivalent to celebrating the off-year, but the food for the big pot meal is made up by every household. This day is also one of the happiest days for the whole village.

Because on this day, they can eat as much as they want.

Before it started, the children in the village gathered around the threshing floor with their own small bowls and chopsticks, following the adults in charge of the threshing floor. Especially when they saw the big pots of pork, not only the children, but also the

The adults watching all had red eyes.

Many people cannot eat one meal of meat a year. The big pot rice in the village in recent years has only been enough to satisfy the needs of the people. This is the first time they have eaten meat, and there is still so much. If you divide it up, one person can eat several pieces. Plus that

The gravy soup base, poured on brown rice, is delicious!

Before I even started eating, everyone started drooling.

Many people lingered in the threshing floor, looking eagerly at the busy crowd, raising their heads and sniffing the aroma of meat in the air.

The Lin family hall.

The reward of 800 taels of silver was placed on the table where Qiao Le taught, and everyone in the Lin family was sitting under it.

"These eight hundred taels are the reward for farm tools. I gave two hundred taels to the village, and everyone has a share of the rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, the whole family in the main room nodded.

Lin Dong answered: "Mom, we know the money. Just keep it. You can just arrange what you want to buy and spend. We will listen to you."

As the eldest brother, Lin Dong, whatever he said, the younger brothers nodded in agreement. Anyway, they made money to support their family. As long as their mother didn't starve them like before, they were willing to give their mother no matter how much they earned.

Jiang Yan smiled slowly and said: "Today is not only a happy day for the village, but also for our family. Everyone has worked very hard during this period, and my mother sees it. I originally planned to pay everyone, but it's just that

I have been busy during this period, so I will distribute it to everyone today. After distribution, we will go to the village to have a big pot of rice."

Shangguan Zixuan's face was full of doubts, and he said in a childish voice: "Aunt, aren't you a family? Why do you still need to pay wages? I don't care if my father asks for money, I will give him as much as he wants, even if he doesn't have to work.

of."

The brothers of the Lin family also nodded in agreement. They are all a family, and those who help their own family need wages. Besides, their mother usually gives them a lot of money. Even if they want to buy something, they just ask and their mother will do it.

Give them money.
