Chapter 227: Being a Navy Soldier, I Am a Professional
Not only Li Xingjian was excited, but also the government servants he brought to be responsible for the weighing and the entire Yanjia Village were cheering excitedly in the fields.
Qixun and Lingyu have been busy in the fields for half a year, and now looking at the harvest, they are full of joy and sense of accomplishment.
Lingyu pursed her lips, her eyes full of smiles: "Fourth sister, that's really nice."
Qixun nodded, it was really good.
Her Xiaowu is no longer the sister Lin who repaid kindness with tears and died in tears.
She is the fifth daughter of the Yan family, her twin sister. She is the future generation of agriculturist Yan Lingyu who is so beautiful that she is so dazzling even if the days are black and turn into small charcoal balls. She is happy for the harvest and obsessed with planting. .
"Keep up your hard work, Xiao Wu. I believe that seed improvement will definitely succeed. Our Xiao Wu will definitely become a girl admired by the world in the future."
Lingyu smiled and shook her head: "I don't want the world to admire me. I just think it's good to live like this."
Qixun rubbed her head: "Then continue to live like this and live a better life! It's okay, there are brothers and sisters anyway, you just have to be happy and do what you like. Well, if something happens, If you need to reason with others, go to your eldest brother. The eldest brother has a positive image of being as gentle as jade. Even though others think he is unreasonable, well, image is still very important. If someone bullies you, go to your second brother and hit him with a stick. What the hell? The situation has been found. If you want to dig a hole for others to find Third Sister, no one can scheme against her except our father. I will definitely solve everything for you."
Lingyu was a little touched at first, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at her: "I'll tell my brothers and third sister what you said later!"
"The accuser!"
"I'm happy to! After all, my brothers and sisters are useful, what are you doing?"
Qixun gave a look that said, "Are you stupid? Of course I am eating melon... No, of course I am cheering for my brothers and sisters. I work as a navy for the big guys in our family." I'm a professional."
Lingyu is speechless. You are just being used as a flatterer, and you are still a tap water who doesn't need fifty cents.
Qixun said to this, although the eldest brother cherishes words like gold, but the Daqin Fusu Master who came from Confucianism... Anyway, she can't be as talkative as the eldest brother, not as strong as the second brother, and not as ruthless as the third sister. What can I do? Well, I am also very helpless.
As a technical geek, my value lies in silently doing a good job in logistics and technical work.
What people fight for is logistical supplies. Don't look down on it, it's very useful. This is what I call not taking credit, keeping a low profile!
The two bickered for a while, then Lingyu held Qixun's arm and shook it: "Fourth sister, thank you."
Thank you for letting me find what I like. Thank you for making me feel that people can live in a different way. Thank you for letting me see that there are other more interesting things in the world and more unforgettable scenery. .
Qi Xun is so shocked, my bastard can actually say thank you?
She was so frightened that she quickly pulled away from Lingyu and asked with a wary look: "Tell me what you want first?"
Lingyu:..........
Forget it, arguing with her will make you angry to death.
Lingyu rolled his eyes and turned away.
After Qi Xun clicked his tongue and said "cheapskate", he ran to the county magistrate: "The sweet potatoes can be dug now. When the corn is harvested, we will harvest the sweet potatoes?"
Li Xingjian nodded: "What do you think of the yield of sweet potatoes?"
Qixun had already estimated the yield of sweet potatoes: "The best one probably won't be less than six thousand catties, but you know the reason why that piece of land has a high yield. It has no significance for promotion. The rest will be planted normally but managed." The most elaborate piece should weigh four to five thousand catties, and the worst piece weighs nearly two thousand catties."
"So high?" Although Li Xingjian had heard that the yield of sweet potatoes was high before, Li Xingjian was still surprised by the actual yield. If there really was the yield Qixun said, there would never be another starvation death after the Great Summer. civil!
Qixun shook his head: "The yield should not be lower than the data I mentioned. However, after all, sweet potatoes are different from corn. They can be used as a staple food in times of famine. But if you take this as a staple food every day, no one will be affected. The yield of potatoes should be the same as that of corn. Sweet potatoes are almost the same, but the nutritional value of potatoes is more comprehensive. Both of them can be eaten, but unlike corn, they cannot completely replace the staple food of grains. If the output is stable, it can be promoted, but it is best to control the planting area. And corn, Be it sweet potatoes or potatoes, if you want to promote them, you must add them to the taxable crops, otherwise, it will be difficult to promote them.”
Even if farmers know that the yield of this thing is high and their families will have surplus food after planting it, they will not starve to death again, but if it cannot be used to pay taxes, then who among the ordinary people will dare to plant it? If we occupy a field and cannot pay taxes and grain, can we still live a good life?
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
Li Xingjian also knew that this was a big problem, but he had already thought about it. There was no need to rush. If he did not plant for two seasons and stabilize the output, he would not be able to report it to the tax collection.
After it is confirmed that planting can be promoted, then you can write to the court. Only then will you have the confidence to speak. Changing the scope of taxable grains is not a trivial matter. If there is a real problem, it will affect the national treasury tax revenue for a year, and it will really kill people.
Moreover, even if the yield is confirmed and can be planted in other state capitals, joining the tax system is not something that can be done in a day or two.
"I have thought about this. Next season, I will not only plant it in our Linjiang County, but I will also try to plant some in other prefectures to see the yields in other places. This matter, within two or three years, is There is no result."
Qi Xun was not surprised by this. Farming is really not a joke. It is related to the food rations of a country's people for a year. If something goes wrong, no one can take responsibility. It's wise to be cautious.
The yields of sweet potatoes and potatoes were unexpectedly high. Even if they could not be widely promoted to the outside world for a while, Li Xingjian also gave the court a hint. He talked about the discovery of new grains and the trial planting, and the yields were extremely high. But at the same time, he also He said that even if the yield is unimaginably high, it still needs to be planted for several seasons. After mature planting experience is gained and the yield is indeed high and stable, it will be submitted to the court for promotion.
Li Xingjian's secret made Emperor Xia Long very happy as soon as it arrived at the Long Case.
But an emperor would not publicize even a huge happy event without confirmation.
Emperor Xia just let the report appear in the court the next day, and ordered the Secretary of Agriculture to go to Linjiang to investigate. Although the investigation had not been completed, the report still aroused heated discussion in the court.
A new grain with a yield of thousands of kilograms per mu, a kind that can replace silk and cotton, can be spun and weaved, and can be used for planting bedding and cotton clothes for winter. If it were not known that Li Xingjian, who was born in Qi Guofu, was a talented man with both intelligence and intelligence. Jun, everyone thought he was crazy about getting promoted and was fabricating big lies.
