Chapter 9 Order to hasten the harvest of summer rice



"Yu'er, how could you follow that tyrant and make trouble? How could there be rain in such hot weather? Not to mention strong winds and heavy rain. There won't be such a disaster before June." Qiuyu's father shook his head and sighed.

"But... Si Gong also said... Dad, look, Si Gong asked his family to harvest the rice."

After a while, the sound of gongs rang out. It was the headman of Liangjiazhuang, going from house to house, calling people to harvest the rice.

Lizheng: According to the Tang Dynasty village organization, four households formed a neighborhood, five neighborhoods formed a bao, 100 households formed a li, and five li formed a township.

This woman is so bold, isn't she afraid of being beheaded?

Liang Erhu's fields were right next to Liang Qiuyu's. Upon hearing this, he sneered at her, "Your mouth is even rottener and stinkier than the dead field mice in the rice fields!"
