Chapter 1141 I Am the Spokesperson for Three Views (Twenty-four)
Ignoring everyone's astonished looks, the thin Gu Qingcheng picked up the hoe with difficulty and followed the old ox Ling's father out the door.
The father and daughter went straight to the Ling family’s wheat field.
It was February now, and there was still some time before spring ploughing, so there was not much farm work to be done in the fields.
Father Ling was used to working, or rather, he felt more comfortable in the fields than at home.
At home, he is a useless loser who can't even say a word.
In the fields, Ling's father could talk about the various farming techniques in a clear and organized manner.
Gu Qingcheng looked at him with some admiration.
I originally thought he was just an ordinary farmer who only knew how to work, but unexpectedly, he was also an expert in farming.
Although there was no scientific theory like in later generations, under the existing conditions in ancient times, Ling's father did his best to do things that would help increase production.
"... Dad, you are amazing. You know everything!"
Gu Qingcheng praised sincerely.
Father Ling's dark, wrinkled face flashed with embarrassment, "It's just tending to the banker, everyone can do it!"
It’s just farming, what’s so special about it?
"No! The land is the foundation. Among the three, farming is second."
Being able to farm is a very useful skill, whether in ancient times or in modern times.
Especially in ancient times, when grain production was low, the imperial court would reward anyone who could improve varieties and increase per-acre yield.
If he were more powerful, "Deification" would not be a myth.
When accepting the task, Gu Qingcheng thought about how to complete it.
In her plan, Ling's father was just a "front", an excuse she used to fool everyone.
But at this moment, Gu Qingcheng suddenly discovered that she could still learn some basic knowledge from Ling's father.
So, never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
Even if he is just a farmer, he has strengths that people can learn from.
"Dad, you are so awesome, I will definitely learn farming from you!"
Gu Qingcheng's tender, dark and thin face was full of respect for her father and her commitment to hard work.
Father Ling felt embarrassed by the compliments and kept waving his hands and saying "nonsense".
However, his eyes still shone with a light that had never been seen before.
The first time, the first time in my life.
There were actually people praising him for being so good and willing to learn from him? All along, Ling's father thought he was a good-for-nothing.
I don't know how to do anything except farming.
Unlike the eldest brother, he can read and do accounting.
I can also go to the shops in the town to help people keep account books and earn some money.
He is not like my third brother, who is illiterate but sweet-talker and smart.
When he is not busy working in the fields, he will walk around the streets.
Sell out the things in the village, and then bring back the needles and thread from outside to sell.
You can earn some hard-earned money by going back and forth.
He alone could neither read nor speak.
It seemed that apart from farming, he had no other means of livelihood to support his family.
But his daughter told him that being able to farm was also a great thing.
My daughter is willing to learn from him!
Father Ling felt as refreshed as if he had drunk ice water in the hottest days of summer.
"Alas, what a pity, the fifth girl is just a girl."
Gu Qingcheng: ...What's wrong with the girl? The girl can still farm!
In addition to studying with Ling's father, Gu Qingcheng also strolls around the fields.
Sometimes, she would carry a hoe and run to the surrounding mountains.
It's not hunting, nor is it looking for any precious medicinal herbs.
Just kidding, she is not the heroine and does not have the aura of invincibility.
It is impossible to catch valuable prey by setting a trap, and it is also impossible to find precious medicinal materials such as ginseng by just walking around.
If you don’t have that much luck, you won’t be able to find bargains easily.
Furthermore, this time, Gu Qingcheng is not going to take a "shortcut", but an extremely practical and difficult road to success.
She wandered the wilds just to look for wild plants.
Gu Qingcheng has the most complete agricultural knowledge. She knows that in ancient times when there was no industrialization, the only way to increase the yield per mu was to rely on hybridization.
Only after finding and selecting plants with good genes and strong strength can we proceed to the next step.
After hybridization, screening is carried out generation after generation, and finally the good varieties with many advantages such as high yield and resistance to lodging are selected.
Although Father Ling didn't understand what his daughter was doing, she worked hard in the fields on weekdays.
Ling's father would not interfere too much: after all, he is still a child, it is normal for him to pick flowers and find grass.
Sometimes, when Father Ling has some free time, he will help Gu Qingcheng.
With the same hobby - farming, the parent-child relationship between Ling's father and Gu Qingcheng has been qualitatively improved.
The father and daughter became the strongest alliance, and they spent every day working around the fields.
The Ling family: ...
It doesn’t matter. I never expected the second branch to be successful.
If the whole family goes to farm, then let’s do it.
It can also save other labor at home and allow them to do other money-making businesses.
The brothers Ling Lie and Ling Wu began their daily study in a private school.
"Well, if the main body is still there, maybe I can exchange it for a skill in the system mall, such as a brain-enhancing pill, or an imperial examination gift pack or something."
“But…”
The main body has left the small world, and only a trace of consciousness remains.
Ling Lie can no longer use the system to cheat for him.
He could only rely on the few skills of his clone and work twice as hard to barely maintain his image as an ancient scholar.
However, the cousin next door is not a top student, but a genius.
Have a photographic memory and be able to draw inferences from one instance.
Even if they start late or have a weak foundation, they can catch up quickly with their extraordinary talent and close the gap with their opponents in the shortest time.
In just one and a half months instead of three months, Ling Wu demonstrated god-level reading skills that even private school teachers were jealous of.
"What a child prodigy! The God of Literature has descended to earth!"
The private school teacher couldn't help it, so he ran straight to Old Man Ling, with envy and jealousy in his eyes, and praised him highly.
Old Man Ling was stunned. "Sir, are you talking about my brother Wu?"
He is actually a child prodigy?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Or is it some kind of Wenquxing who has descended to earth?
This seems even more impressive than the future top scholar.
"Yes! It's Brother Wu! Tsk, I've been studying for more than ten years and have seen many talented young men."
"But this is the first time I've seen someone as talented as Ling Wu."
"It's a pity that he started a little late. However, he has great talent. If he has a better teacher, he will surely soar to great heights in the future!"
Old man Ling stared blankly at the gentleman, who had also praised Ling Lie before.
But I wasn’t that excited at that time.
Is Wu Ge'er really better than Lie Ge'er? Is he the best student in the Ling family?
In that case, let's send Wu Ge'er to the academy.
Ling Lie: ...I knew it would be like this!
The first wife wanted to object, but the third wife was very supportive.
The second wife continued to farm.
However, during the family discussion, Gu Qingcheng, on behalf of the second branch, said: "As long as my brother studies seriously and does not gamble, we, the second branch, will support him!"
Ling Lie: ...Why are you bringing this up again? It's all the original owner's fault.
I have changed! Gu Qingcheng: "Really? I don't believe it!"
"You can make me believe it, big brother. When you find my sister and redeem her, I will believe that you have truly changed your ways!"
The victim has not been compensated yet, how can you clear your name? Although Gu Qingcheng's words were a little "unreasonable", they still made everyone in the Ling family shut up.
It was a fact that Ling Lie gambled! It was also a fact that Ling Si Ya was sold because of Ling Lie! The most important thing was that the Ling family had a better student, Ling Wu, so Ling Lie was no longer the only and best choice.
Even the first wife and her husband were speechless in the face of such a situation.
Ling Lie: ...
…
In this way, Ling Wu went to the county to study, and took part in the county examination with the courage of a newborn calf. Unexpectedly, after studying for less than two months, Ling Wu actually passed the examination.
It’s ranked last, but it’s on the list after all.
Even the county magistrate who was marking the essay praised the student's writing for its talent.
Maybe his foundation is weak, but he makes people feel his writing talent and huge potential.
Ling Lie also participated, also hanging at the back of the car.
His ranking was even higher than Ling Wu.
However, no one, including the eldest wife, praised Ling Lie for his ability.
What a great thing.
Ling Lie had studied for several years, while Ling Wu had only studied for a few days? As a result, when they took the exam together, there was only one difference in their rankings? Everyone knew that Ling Wu was the one who was born to study and take exams!
Ling Lie: ...I knew it would be like this!
Even if you study hard, you can't compare to a genius who just flips through a book.
Moreover, in addition to studying, Ling Lie also owes Ling Si Ya a debt.
In order to find Ling Si Ya and redeem her, Ling Lie tried every means to make money.
I definitely can’t get involved in gambling anymore.
Then we can only sell knowledge for money.
Copy a book!
Writing storybooks! Apart from reading, Ling Lie is busy with these things every day.
Fortunately, although I am not very good at writing serious articles, I have an absolute advantage in writing vernacular novels.
Talented men and beautiful women, grudges in the martial arts world, martial arts and fairy tales... Ling Lie can handle all kinds of themes with ease.
In a few months, he wrote several books.
The books were sold at good prices.
Ling Lie also got to know the boss behind the bookstore and made a lot of connections.
Gu Qingcheng: ...After all, he is the male lead. Even if he changes the track, he can still overtake others.
"Fifth sister, I found the whereabouts of fourth sister!"
Ling Lie's efforts were not in vain. Half a year later, he was finally able to stand up straight in front of Gu Qingcheng and proudly said: Ling Si Ya, I found her! Gu Qingcheng nodded, "Where is she?"
Finding the person is not the point, the point is to redeem the person!
Ling Lie: ...It’s a bit difficult to redeem it.
Because Ling Si Ya is no longer an ordinary girl.
Instead, she became a concubine of a nobleman in the capital.
Ling Lie now only has some connections in the county and has saved up no less than one hundred taels of silver.
But these are not enough for him to compete with the nobles in Beijing.
Gu Qingcheng gave Ling Lie a look that looked like trash, and said again: "I still say the same thing. Only when my sister comes back, I will believe that you have really turned over a new leaf."
Ling Lie: ...
