Chapter 469: The Dandy’s Family Killed All the Civil and Military Officials of the Dynasty (22)
No matter how much food is stored in He'an County, it will not be able to withstand the influx of refugees from all over the world in the next month.
By that time, the situation was completely out of control, and the food in the granary decreased sharply and quickly bottomed out.
By this time, all the refugees in the world knew that He'an County was releasing grain, but those who didn't know were still rushing here with their last hope.
However, when the refugees heard that the granary was empty and there was no more food to store, they were so hungry and desperate that they had no reason at all.
Thousands of refugees broke through the door of the Jin family and stole the last food from the Jin family.
In the end, the young and old of the Jin family had no choice but to flee. The end was so embarrassing that Jin Chuyao couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it happening again.
This time, they were not so lucky to escape before the refugees invaded.
The brother and sister were muttering in the field and didn't know what to say. Li Yong squinted his eyes for a long time and finally decided to go to the field himself.
He wanted to hear what the two men were plotting.
Then when he lifted up his robe and rolled up his sleeves, he reached out and picked up a rice seedling and leaned towards it.
There was a crisp sound of "pop".
A slap fell on the back of Li Yong's hand unexpectedly.
He was stunned at that time and looked at the initiator Jin Shu in disbelief.
"what you do?!"
In the past, it was fine to punish him by hitting him, but now he didn't do anything, and the back of his hand was turned red by Jin Shu's sudden slap.
When Jin Chuyao saw this, she felt even more distressed than if he was hit on her. She ran to the field in two or three steps, stared at Li Yong's red hand that was beaten, and opened her mouth to reprimand.
"Jin Shu, why do you hit people so casually?"
Jin Shu looked calm, not at all nervous or embarrassed.
"These rice seedlings are very precious. Don't touch them until you learn how to farm."
Jin Chuyao sneered.
"It's just a rice seedling! It can also become a cover for you to torture people! Mr. Wu just wants to help you with good intentions."
"How do I tell him how to get you here? Do you like him too?"
Jin Shu's two simple words immediately made Jin Chuyao's face look flustered and her speech was unclear.
"You...don't talk nonsense!"
"Then don't meddle in other people's business. If you really have nothing to do, come over and help me farm."
Although Jin Chuyao is full of bad ideas, she actually knows how to farm.
In the original plot, she found food that still thrives on dry land. Although it tastes bad and has a greatly reduced nutritional value, it actually solves the problem of people eating.
Since she was so good at farming, Jin Shu naturally couldn't let such a good seedling go.
Li Yong had a sullen face, feeling a little regretful about why he had to ask for trouble.
In the next second, Jin Shu pulled him to her side.
"If you want to farm, you can just follow me and learn."
"You know how to do it?"
"More than you know how to do anyway."
After finishing speaking, Jin Shu gently arranged the rice seedlings in her hands, dug a hole in the ground with a small shovel in one hand, and with the other hand held the rice seedlings above the roots and accurately and neatly stuffed them into the hole. .
“The pit is a finger deep, the roots need to be sorted out a little, then half of it is buried with soil, sprinkled with a layer of moist soybean flour, and then the other half is buried.
After finishing, pat the surrounding soil tightly and plant a plant two fingers away. "
Jin Shu's technique was really neat and simple. If she hadn't frequently used her five fingers instead of her eyes to explore the surroundings, Li Yong would have really suspected that she was semi-blind.
"Where did you learn these methods?"
Sprinkle soybean flour?
Is this a method that a boudoir lady can know?
Let’s not talk about whether it is useful or not, but why is it soybean flour?
Jin Shu is a good teacher. Although she has little patience, she is more tolerant of students who are eager to learn and inquisitive.
"Soybean flour can absorb water and make the soil more moist. In the current water shortage situation, it can retain as much water as possible for the rice seedlings."
"It's quite novel."
"Have you learned it? Once you have learned it, try it yourself."
There is still a lot of work to be done today, and the more people who can help, the better.
Li Yong looked down at the rice seedlings in his hand, and then glanced at Jin Shu unconsciously.
To outsiders, she seems to be no different from normal people, but Li Yong, who has known her and observed her for so long, naturally knows how much effort it takes for a semi-blind woman to do the same things as ordinary people.
Ordinary people only need to use their eyes to measure distances and sizes, but Jin Shu needs to use her own two hands to frequently grope on the hard ground, which requires her to put in more energy.
Under the coarse linen clothes, her face was very red from the heat. She usually put on heavy makeup, but for the first time today she didn't even apply makeup. She had a bare face, and water droplets slid down her forehead, outlining the outline of The outline of the entire face actually looks a bit pleasing to the eye.
Lively, energetic, focused, serious.
These are all the words Li Yong can think of.
There are actually some complimentary words.
In this way, from start to finish, even Zhang Shixu came to help.
It was useless for anyone else to stop him, so in the end he had no choice but to let him go.
The governor had all gone to the ground. Mrs. Jin and County Magistrate Jin could not just watch, so they had no choice but to join in.
At first, Jin Shu taught them how to operate.
Later it became Jin Shouan.
In the haze of sweat, Mrs. Jin looked at her son and daughter in the field and couldn't help but complain to the county magistrate beside her.
"Look at your good son and daughter, they can't learn anything, but they are very motivated to start farming."
The magistrate laughed.
"Is farming also a craft? At least we don't have to worry about our children being hungry in the future."
"Do you really want them to farm in the future?"
Generations of the Jin family have spent a lot of effort to completely get rid of the title of mud-legged people, but in their generation, they have gone back.
The magistrate glanced at her.
"What's wrong with farming? It's better to be self-sufficient and have enough food and clothing than to do nothing and mess around all day like they did before, right?"
"That's the same truth."
An hour later, Jin Shouan, who was sweating profusely, took the initiative to shout.
"This way! There are no rice seedlings here! Drag another board over here!"
"Okay, I'll send it over here."
Jin Shou'an's current hand speed can almost compete with Jin Shu's.
In the end, three entire boards of rice seedlings were planted, and everyone was sweating profusely and panting.
During this period, Jin Chuyao couldn't bear it anymore, so she followed Mrs. Jin away from the field on the pretense of helping her up to rest.
Others wore it and actually did it for a whole afternoon.
Mrs. Jin couldn't help but sigh.
"This kid is really good at mischief."
Upon hearing this, Jin Chuyao sighed as before.
“The rice seedlings planted this way are also a waste and will not produce ears.
My sister is really childlike, but she is just a pain to the governor and uncles and aunts. "
