Chapter 273 There is hope for a good harvest!!
As for Xu Jinyin, after learning that his sister died because of him, he was so scared that he hid himself, but was eventually found by Tiger Ye and his men. After knowing that Xu Jinyin had no money to pay back, they had one of his hands chopped off.
Xu Zhiyi walked to Yanyi Pavilion today, and heard a lot of important things about the Wu Mansion along the way!
It was not until we were almost at Yanyi Pavilion that we saw Lou Qianqian talking to a man. The man had his back to us and my face was not visible.
It was unknown what the two were talking about. When Lou Qianqian turned around to leave, the man quickly reached out and grabbed her, but Lou Qianqian kept trying to break free.
Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but quicken his pace, came behind the man, and shouted: "Let her go!!"
When the man heard Xu Zhiyi's shout, he subconsciously let go of Lou Qianqian's hand, then turned around, and when he saw Xu Zhiyi, surprise flashed in his eyes.
And Xu Zhiyi also recognized this person. He was the one who wanted to ask him for help, but he realized that he had seen through his plan.
"Is it you?"
Xu Zhiyi went over and held Lou Qianqian’s hand: “Qianqian, are you okay? Do you know this person?”
Hearing this, Lou Qianqian nodded: "Sister Zhiyi, he is the Mr. Mo I mentioned to you!"
"Qianqian, is he the Mr. Mo you mentioned? He doesn't look like a good person at first glance, you should stay away from him!" Xu Zhiyi looked at Mo Lin.
Mo Lin: “…”
Lou Qianqian: "Ah? Sister Zhiyi, have you ever had a conflict with him?"
Xu Zhiyi: "Didn't I tell you a while ago that I met a young man who asked for help on the way? Look, it's you, Mr. Mo!"
After hearing Xu Zhiyi's words, Lou Qianqian looked at Mo Lin, then pulled Xu Zhiyi back two steps:
"Mr. Mo, didn't we have nothing to talk about last time? I have given you my blessing, and we only had a deal before. Now that you have found your sweetheart, don't waver!"
Hearing this, Mo Lin wanted to slap himself in the face. He could find any excuse he wanted. Why did he have to find such an excuse that he already had a lover?
He wanted to explain, but he thought that he came here today to say goodbye, and he didn't want to work for the Pavilion Master against his will anymore. Moreover, this mission might involve Qianqian's good sister, so he didn't want to investigate even more!
He had to ask the Pavilion Master for leave. He knew that the Pavilion Master had said that anyone who wanted to leave Jinxuan Pavilion had to endure all the punishments in the Pavilion. As long as he was still alive after that, he would be free.
Although there have always been only two people who survived after being punished, and the rest did not survive, he did not want to live this kind of life anymore. He wanted freedom, and he wanted to take a gamble with his life.
"Qianqian, I came here today to say goodbye to you. I...I hope we can meet again someday!" After saying that, he looked at Lou Qianqian deeply and turned away.
Lou Qianqian: “…”
"Hehe, the person has gone far away, why are you still looking?" Xu Zhiyi waved his hand in front of Lou Qianqian.
"Sister Zhiyi, tell me, what does it mean to love someone? I don't know if I am just lusting after his body, or if I really am..."
"I only know that before I came to Nanzhou City, I would want to find him every day when I opened my eyes. No matter how much money I spent, I just wanted to see him. But if a man who was more handsome than him appeared, I could divert my attention from him."
"But, if I had to choose only one, his image would come to my mind first."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi thought about it seriously and said, "Well, I think you haven't reached the stage of love yet, but you definitely like me!
Lou Qianqian: "Oh, forget it, forget him. I can still live without him."
…………
Three months later, the double harvest days arrive, which is also the busiest time of the year for the people, but also the happiest.
Xu Zhiyi led the villagers to stand in the fields, looking at the endless golden expanse. The ripe rice was full of grains. It seemed that there would be very few empty husks, and every grain of rice had fallen.
Compared to what the original owner remembered, it was countless times better!
Village chief Chen and the villagers didn't know how to describe their feelings at this moment.
"Zhiyi, the crops grown according to your method are at least half as good as those we grew in previous years!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Village chief, now we know how much grain can be produced per mu. If it is not as exaggerated as everyone expected, then everyone will be disappointed."
Village Chief Chen: "No, everyone has eyes to see, even if this is not half as much as in previous years, at least an extra 100 catties is more than enough. An extra 100 catties per mu can be used to pay the grain tax, and the rest can be used to help everyone have a good harvest!"
"Zhiyi! You are the great benefactor of our Fenglin Kingdom! If the entire Fenglin Kingdom can really grow such a high yield of grain, the poor people in our world will be able to have full stomachs in the future!"
"If the majority of people don't pay the grain tax, there won't be much grain left! And there won't be countless people starving to death every winter."
Xu Zhiyi: "Village Chief, let's not think too much about the future. The entire Fenglin Kingdom? I don't have the ability to make all the people in the world believe in me!"
Village Chief Chen heard this and wanted to remind him that if this matter were to get out, it would definitely alert the county magistrate, or even...
But think about the uncertain things, so let’s not say any more!
"Village chief, Zhiyi, an acre of rice has been harvested over there!"
Village Chief Chen was surprised when he heard this: "Oh, hurry up, ask someone to pull it back. Let's all work harder today. Take off the rice grains from this acre of land and weigh them to see how many kilograms there are in one acre!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi looked at the villagers bundling up the rice and carrying it back to the village threshing ground to remove the grains from the rice.
Only then did I remember that I had only been thinking about grain production for the past six months, and had not thought about the improvements after harvesting the rice. The villagers put the rice on the ground to dry, and then used the threshing method to beat the grains off the rice seedlings.
How troublesome it would be! Since she couldn't get a modern automatic thresher, she could try a manual one!
If it works! Isn't this much faster than the villagers beating it up in handfuls?
I had to do it right away. I had to go back and study the blueprints. Once they were ready, I would ask an old carpenter in the town to help me see if it could be made.
For three consecutive days, Xu Zhiyi was studying the drawing blueprints from morning to night.
