The grain production in the villages that used the methods he taught has increased a lot compared to previous years, so you can plant with peace of mind."
"In addition, the teacher also told us how to use fertilizers, and this fertilizer is..."
The village chief's explanation was heard in various places in Liang Province.
The people responded very enthusiastically. The most obvious change was that the corpses that used to appear on the lake every now and then were gone. Everyone saw hope and just wanted to work hard to farm and live their own lives.
The official collected feedback from all over the place from his subordinates and was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
He was overwhelmed with gratitude to the Si Yi who provided so many good recipes, but seeing that the Si Yi was just a teenager, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
He asked the Si Yi a little embarrassedly: "I wonder when your teacher will visit, so that I can make preparations in advance? "
The Si Yi understood what the official meant and said with a smile: "Sir, he said that he found new seeds suitable for farming. The yield is extremely large, and the seeds are on the way."
"What?"
Seeing the official's incredible expression, the Si Yi smiled and said: "You will be happy when these seeds are introduced. "
In the original world line, the original owner would die a year later. Si Yu, who had plundered everything from the original owner, would go out and rescue the escaped Son of the World, and then the Son of the World would flee all the way away from the capital and come to the most impoverished place in the Qiu Dynasty.
At that time, the hidden dangers accumulated by the Qiu Dynasty for many years broke out completely, and the luck began to backfire on the entire court. The first to suffer were those places whose luck had already run out.
Disasters occurred frequently in various places, and the people were displaced, but the court did nothing. The high and mighty not only did not lend them a helping hand, but exploited them even more severely, thinking only of recycling them and killing them all. , so as to take away all their luck and return it to himself.
The desperate people finally had the intention of rebellion and started a rebellion. The Son of the World mixed in the crowd and led his troops to the court, bringing more trouble to the country that was already overwhelmed.
The so-called "destroy and then rebuild" refers to the situation at that time.
If the court at that time was not completely destroyed, the people of Qiu Dynasty would not have any other way to survive.
That group of powerful people would kill the people to the point where there was no one left to kill, and then they would reflect on whether they had exhausted the resources and made a mistake from the beginning.
Si Qi naturally would not let his apprentice's future people go to such a desperate situation.
This year In the past, Si Yi was busy with his studies, doing regular boxing exercises in the morning and evening, and communicating with people from all over the country; Xiu Xiu was looking for Chu Feng's whereabouts while investigating the situation in various places and collecting available relevant data;
Si Qi would take the teleportation array and leave for a period of time every now and then, running around the planet, bringing back the usable food he found, and using high-tech equipment to improve the seeds so that the plants can better adapt to the country's land, be resistant to frost, drought and pests, and increase production.
These things were not easy to take out directly in front of Si Yi, so Si Qi asked Si Yi to rush there before the seeds were sown in Liang Province and bring the planting method to him. He had no way to tell the county governor there in advance. He pretended to go out of town to get grain, quickly ripened the cultivated seeds and re-bred them, and finally managed to produce a batch of seeds sufficient for Liang Province.
When he arrived in Liang Province and met with the county governor of Liang Province, Liang Province had just completed the preliminary work such as turning the soil, applying fertilizers, and making farm tools, and the only thing left was the next step of planting.
Si Qi placed several carts of seeds in front of the county governor, opened the bag containing the things, and said with a smile: "These are corn and sweet potatoes. They are varieties I found in Yi Province. They are easy to plant and have a very high yield per mu. They are suitable for the current land conditions in Liang Province and will not cause too much burden on the soil. "
The county magistrate held a palm-sized plump sweet potato in his hand, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
It's just that...
he looked at Si Qi with shame: "The court requires us to pay wheat as tribute, and you may..."
Si Qi smiled: "I also brought wheat seeds, you can choose some places to plant them. As for these corns and sweet potatoes, I will keep them for myself."
The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that his ignorant behavior would make Si Qi dissatisfied. Fortunately, the other party was indeed as tolerant and kind as the rumors said.
He waved his hand to call the agricultural officers who were responsible for planting and asked them to listen carefully.
Everyone had countless questions in their hearts and wanted to consult: "I wonder how to plant these sweet potatoes and corn? "
Si Qi answered carefully: "Corn is planted in the mountains and does not occupy fertile land; sweet potatoes are light-loving and drought-resistant, and have a strong ability to absorb fertilizer. First, cultivate young and strong seedlings..."
As everyone listened, they quickly wrote down something with a pen. This was still a habit left over from their usual meetings with Si Yi. There was too much knowledge to remember it all. What a happy trouble.
There were many people around Si Qi, and Si Yi was unconsciously blocked outside by the crowd, separating him from his teacher at a distance.
He really wanted to talk to the teacher and tell him that he had completed the teacher's instructions and passed on the knowledge to the people here. He
also wanted to stand in front of the teacher and tell him that he had passed on this period of his life . How much he missed him.
But he was blocked by everyone.
He knew that his husband was busy with work, so he didn't go up to disturb him. He just stood outside the crowd silently and restrainedly, waiting for everything to end, and his husband finally remembered him.
Maybe it was telepathy. Just when he was thinking this, his husband suddenly turned around and looked at him with a warm smile.
It was like a breeze blowing through his heart, and the depression disappeared in an instant.
His mood improved, and he moved faster than his thoughts. He quickly got into the crowd and occupied the seat next to his husband.
No one would She felt that he should not stand in this position, and did not care about his blocking the way, but smiled kindly at him.
Si Qi raised his hand and rubbed his head, and the intimate action made Si Yi very proud.
He felt that his behavior of stopping just now was particularly stupid.
This is his husband, the most important person to him.
The husband told him that if he wanted to do it, he should do it, without hesitation.
Next, Si Qi and Si Yi were very busy. They needed to tell everyone how to plant the new crops, and they also had to inspect everywhere to see if the land in various places was in accordance with the standards. When problems arose, he would correct them immediately, and sometimes he would teach them step by step, so that many people saw the appearance of the legendary "Mr." and respected this benefactor with a noble demeanor and a gentle attitude.
The people who were already grateful to Si Qi for his various deeds, after seeing what Si Qi looked like with their own eyes, respected and loved him even more.
When had they ever seen someone with such a noble demeanor and such a good appearance, speaking to them in a gentle voice and telling them how to make their lives better?
This is a person who is even better than the legend, and as kind and benevolent as a god.
...
After the busy sowing season, the county magistrate asked Si Qi about his next plan.
Si Qi said that he and his apprentice would still travel down, but would return here in the autumn when the harvest was in season.
Hearing that Si Qi would come back, the county magistrate was very happy and said that he would definitely entertain the two gentlemen well at that time.
"Then, the officials of the court will come here again." Si Qi said meaningfully: "Mr. County Magistrate, you have to make a decision then."
The county magistrate understood what Si Qi meant and his face changed slightly.
However, he did not answer on the spot. He bowed to Si Qi and retreated.
After leaving, his men found him.
The two came to several fertile fields that had been sown in advance. One of them had sparse green sprouts, while the other had patches of emerald green sprouts that could be seen with the naked eye.
The county magistrate did not expect the difference to be so huge. He walked forward and carefully dug out the seedlings on both sides. He found that the plants grown with the grains from their Liang Province were not much different from the past. Instead, the seeds brought by Mr. Si were full of grains, and the sprouts and roots that grew were thick and full of vitality. Even the official who had never farmed himself could see the difference at a glance.
Thinking about the "good seeds" that Mr. Si mentioned, and thinking of the "high-yield corn and sweet potatoes" he had guaranteed, the county magistrate's heart was pounding.
In order to collect more taxes, the court set a rule for them to collect a fixed amount of grain, but did not require a share of the tax.
So this time, if the grain is produced smoothly as Mr. Si said, they will be in the mountains and with. "冫,夕" only needs to pay enough wheat, and the corn and sweet potatoes can be left by themselves.
Then... what about the future?
When the existence of corn and sweet potatoes is known to the court, how will the court react?
Will it switch back to the original system, taking away the food they worked so hard for, and let them work hard in this place for the rest of their lives, endlessly sucking blood from the upper class?
The court has long been rotten to the point of no salvation. The efforts and sweat of the people are only exploited and used, and they get no rewards! They can't feed the group of hungry wolves with no bottom line, and no matter how much they pay, it's just to make wedding clothes for others.
If, those corn and sweet potatoes can really be like what Mr. Si said...
The county magistrate looked far away, looking at his huge land in Liang Province.
