Magistrate Shen paced back and forth: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the number is too shocking."

But if it is true, there is no need for him to press, so why should Lord Wang, Lord Xu, and Lord Sun not beg him for seeds?

Xiaoxiao said it was understandable, and then she asked: "I wonder if your Excellency has been to Fuyuan Village recently. If so, have you visited my family's land?"

As a good county magistrate who loves the people like his own son and cares about people's livelihood, Magistrate Shen goes to the countryside from time to time. He has indeed heard from the villagers in Fuyuan Village that Ning Fengnian is good at farming, but he did not I thought about how “good” it would be.

Xiaoxiao said to him: "Master Shen, you might as well go and take a look and evaluate it."

"Oh, by the way, my father hasn't even reacted to this yet, so please don't say anything about it yet."

Could County Magistrate Shen not know this? He is such a steady person!

Magistrate Shen, who just now almost wanted to talk to his wife, said this about himself.

Pretending to be busy, Magistrate Shen didn't want to do anything. He was just thinking about the two acres of Ning's land. After walking back and forth several times, he clapped his hands and said, "Let's go and have a look!"

Just leave as soon as possible. Everything about the carriage is ready. Xiaoxiao handed a message to her father, mother and brother, saying that she would go home with the county magistrate and them first, and asked them to go back directly after shopping, and then left with the large group.

Although Ning Fengnian and the others were a little confused, the county magistrate was a trustworthy person, so they didn't think much about it. Ning Ansheng, on the other hand, asked his brother thoughtfully: "Where is Ayan?"

Recently, there are many people selling milk tea in their shop on the street. Ning'an Hui just bought a cup and was choked by the nondescript, fishy and smelly smell in one sip. He kept slurping out when he heard his elder brother talking and turned around. Silently asked: "What?"

Ning Ansheng watched his younger brother finish eating candied haws, eating meat buns, and then drinking fake milk tea, which caused his face to be dyed with syrup, sauce, and milk tea. He didn't want to say anything, so he handed over a handkerchief. Brother, he sighed.

Ning'an replied:...

On the other side, Xiaoxiao was also listening to Rong Yan talk about what he and Master Shen had done these days on the way home.

They had long wanted to spread the news about the dike back to the capital, but the Yan family had many eyes and ears, so many attempts failed and they almost exposed themselves.

They were not afraid of confronting Yan Lu, but they were afraid of making unnecessary sacrifices. They were afraid that after them, no one would dare to fight against their relatives for the sake of peace in the court, and they were afraid that the efforts of so many people would be wasted.

Finding that this road was blocked, they were not discouraged, but shifted their focus from filing a petition to rescuing people.

Although Magistrate Shen's digging of rivers was beneficial to the people, more importantly, it was to minimize the risk of flooding. While letting the people dig rivers, Magistrate Shen also arranged for people to build more diversion canals. , but these measures can only be implemented within Xijiang County, but there is no way to start in other places.

He also tried his best to persuade, but with little success, and because the enemy and ourselves were unclear, the most dangerous upstream area became the place with the least precautions.

However, once the dam fails, the first to suffer is the upstream.

Although Magistrate Shen is not an official in Luozhou, he is equally concerned about the lives of people elsewhere.

They were all prepared to expose the dam matter regardless of the consequences. Even if there was a civil uprising, it would be better than letting countless innocent people die. At worst, they would turn around and blame the court, so they would live up to the world with their passion.

At this moment, Han Qing appeared.

God gave them an unexpected surprise. As long as Han Qing could be sent to the imperial court, the evidence in his hand would be enough to make Yan Lu no longer able to stand up, so Rong Yan decided to take action himself.

Although he was not favored, he was still a prince and was born to a noble concubine. As long as he could successfully return to the capital and enter the imperial city, Han Qing would definitely be able to see the emperor.

Magistrate Shen and the others did not pin all their hopes on the imperial court, because even if the emperor implemented strict laws afterwards, the problem of the dam would still not be solved in three or two days. There were still hidden concerns about floods, and they still needed to take precautions in the bud.

If what Ning Xiaoxiao said is true, then this problem will be easily solved.

Arriving at Fuyuan Village, Magistrate Shen and his party, dressed in casual clothes, went straight to the Ning family's land.

The rice growth of the Ning family is indeed the best in the village, but previously County Magistrate Shen only thought that Ning Fengnian was a skilled cropper, and that the harvest might be higher than others, but he never thought about the specific results of these "some" How much can be achieved.

Today, he specially brought someone from the yamen who was good at farming business to do calculations, and the results he came up with made everyone unable to recover for a long time.

"Your Excellency! According to the villain's rough calculation, the harvest from these two acres of land can be at least 1,600 kilograms! This does not include the additional weight of the millet that will be harvested later!"

Magistrate Shen felt like he was hit on the head by a huge surprise: "How much did you say?"

The person reporting the report was even more excited than he was, and shouted directly: "One thousand six hundred catties, sir! When it matures, the yield of each mu of these two acres of land will be about eight hundred catties! Oh my god, sir, we are so big!" There has never been such a high yield of grain in the history of Xia!"

As an official in charge of farming, he wanted to jump up and express his feelings. He turned around and looked at Xiaoxiao with bright eyes. He couldn't wait to ask: "How are these grown?"

Xiaoxiao had already thought about it on the way here: "Actually, when my family first split up, we couldn't get together two acres of seeds. When my parents were running around, I met a strange old man at the foot of Dayan Mountain. He gave me A package of rice seeds, saying that the yield of this rice is extremely high.”

She said vividly: "I saw that the old man had a kind face and didn't look like a bad guy, so I asked for the price. Unexpectedly, he didn't accept the money at all, just put down the rice seeds and left."

"Although I don't know much about farming, after comparing this rice seed with the ones at home, I felt there was no difference, so... I used it to replace the seeds my parents collected."

The farmer couldn't help but comment: "You are really brave. What if that person lied to you?"

Xiaoxiao said: "That man had clear eyes and an upright attitude. Besides, my family is poor, so he had no reason to lie to me. Later, I kept paying attention to the germination of rice seeds, and was prepared to confess to my parents as soon as possible if something went wrong."

The farmer asked again: "But that person is not related to you, so why would he give you such good seeds?"

Xiaoxiao replied: "I also asked him this question, and he said - I hope there will be no more famine in the world."

Xiaoxiao said firmly: "Based on these words, I believe him, and the facts prove that I believe him right."

Magistrate Shen stopped the agricultural officer who was about to speak again and nodded emotionally: "This is an old man who deserves respect. Did he leave his name and address?"

Xiaoxiao shook his head: "He only asked me to call him Grandpa Yuan."

In the place where she lived in her previous life, there was a grandfather named Yuan. He devoted his whole life to the earth and farmland. With his efforts, he successfully cultivated high-yielding hybrid rice. He was the father of hybrid rice - Yuan Longping. academician.

This is where the rice seeds in Xiaoxiao Space come from. If anyone wants to thank the emergence of this new rice seed in the future, it should be thanks to Grandpa Yuan.
