"Dashu, Xiaoyu is willing to personally feed Tingtu. The child has grown up with her and will definitely be the most filial to her in the future."
"That's true."
"Okay, stop talking and eat."
"Father, when are you going to find him, Governor?"
"Three days later, what do you think?"
"It's all fine, but I'm afraid he'll come to our house often after his visit until the autumn harvest is over. Have you made preparations to welcome him? It might be too late to return to the village."
Zhao Dashu thought of the river gourd.
"It's okay. At worst, I won't go back. I can just write a letter and ask them to send it all over."
This is also a solution. Just wait until I get back and check the accounts later.
"In that case, I'll go see the governor in two days."
Xiao Lei is going to the academy tomorrow, and he will probably be very busy from then until the end of the exams.
My parents are also busy dealing with the prefect.
Old Master Qian, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, couldn't help but interrupt, "Dashu, can I stay in my room when the prefect comes? I'm a little afraid of meeting an official."
He is nervous!
"Okay, then the old man can just stay in the backyard. The governor will definitely not come to the backyard. He will definitely avoid it if he knows there are new mothers and babies there."
"Okay, I'll stay behind with Xiaoyu and help her take care of the baby."
"What about me?" Song felt that she didn't want to see the official, but she couldn't hide away, right?
"If you want to come out for a while and prepare food, just say hello. He's not here to play around, he's mainly here to look after the fields, so I'll be the one leading him."
Zhao Dashu suddenly felt that he was the backbone of his family, and this family really couldn't do without him.
"Whatever you want, I'm here. Xiaoyu, you don't need to come out after just giving birth. What do you think?"
"Sure, I'm fine."
The old man thought of the river gourd. Oh no, will he not be able to pick up river gourds and make money today?
"Are we still making river gourd sauce today?"
Of course they do it, their family makes money from it!
"Let's do it after the autumn harvest. What do you think, old man?"
"Okay, there's still some left to pick up after the autumn harvest, so it won't be wasted."
Zhao Xiaoyu licked her lips. Could she still eat it tonight? River gourds are cold in nature, so eating too much is definitely not good. But one or two steamed ones should be fine, right?
During lunch break, Xiao Lei packed up the books he would take to the academy the next day, while Zhao Xiaoyu collected the full-moon gift her family had given her.
"Xiao Lei, how about I clean up a new room for you and move back in after the exams are over?"
The child needs to be fed several times a night, and she is afraid that he won't be able to sleep.
The person tidying up the books looked at her and said, "No need. I went there just for experience. You don't have to take it too seriously. I can take care of the child at night."
The wife is the one who has it hard. She hasn't had a full night's sleep since she started breastfeeding. Sometimes he can't even feed her quietly without disturbing her, because she will wake up.
"I'm worried that you won't be able to sleep at night and won't have energy all day."
"No, I'll just sleep better here. I'll be worried about you guys next door and won't be able to sleep. I know that."
Everyone knows what's going on, what else can she say?
Zhao Dashu went to see the prefect five days later, thinking that if he went to see him later, he would have to come to his house less often. His home was really not suitable for entertaining guests now.
All of them revolve around their little grandson every day and don't want to be disturbed by anything else.
Yuanbao's lovely daughter changes every day, her eyebrows and eyes gradually grow bigger, she likes to laugh, even when she is sleeping, and she is loved by him and the old man.
Zhao Dashu even wanted to hold it in his arms all day long. Even when he went to the fields, he had to hold it in his arms for a while before he was willing to put it down.
Alas, he is the only one who has to go out to work at home now.
When he comes home, he must hug his grandson more.
He took some fresh melons and cucumbers from his own garden and went to the prefect's mansion.
"Xuebei has met the governor."
"No need to be so polite, Dashu. Is there something you want to talk to me about today?"
Could it be that he has a new idea so soon?
Will it?
The prefect rubbed his hands, feeling a little excited.
"Sir, I've been using some new methods for farming today, and they seem to be working quite well. I'd like you to come and take a look."
"Oh, are the crops growing well?"
"If nothing goes wrong, production should increase by at least 10%."
In addition to increased production, there are also fish, which can also bring a lot of income.
"Really? Are you sure?"
Don’t underestimate 10%. If we can really achieve 10%, how much more grain can the entire city harvest?
It takes a lot of effort to increase the yield of grain by a few kilograms from fertile farmland.
"This method is difficult. Can it really guarantee a 10% success rate?"
This guy is amazing. Even the bridal chamber is not as anxious as him.
"Sir, the grain hasn't been harvested yet, so no one is sure. We'll know after we've harvested and weighed it. My family only has so much land, so we might as well increase our efforts to test whether it's reliable. Don't you agree?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The governor was a little disappointed. He sat down and thought for a moment, "How about I go to your house and take a look?"
Only by seeing it can you know what these crops are really like. Although he doesn't know how to farm, he is not blind and can tell whether the crops are growing well or not.
After all, every dog has to go out for patrol several times, so with so many dogs, they should have some eyesight.
"Tai, sir, please!"
It's embarrassing to watch such a hasty person, but he is still steady!
At the edge of the field, the prefect rubbed his eyes. What was jumping just now?
"Your field..."
"Your Excellency, the student has fish in there, and the thing that was jumping just now was a fish."
“You raise fish in your rice paddies?”
"Yes, I thought I'd try throwing some fish fry in there. There's water in there, so maybe the fish can survive. And it actually did, and they were quite big. I'll catch a few and bring them back for you to try out these rice paddy fish."
"No, can they really grow up?"
"Of course, you see, it hasn't affected the growth of the rice. The crops are still growing vigorously."
Yes, the crops planted by Zhao Dashu grow better than those in the fertile fields outside.
"Does raising fish make rice grow taller?"
The governor couldn't believe it himself. What kind of magic was this? How could raising fish increase the harvest? It was nonsense!
"No, sir, raising fish will only give the people an extra harvest. Fish is also meat and can be eaten. After throwing the fry in, there is no need to take care of them too much. They will grow naturally.
As for crops, today I tried a new planting method, which is to grow seedlings first, and then..."
Zhao Dashu talked about the planting methods, and the prefect felt that he seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
“Can it grow like this?”
