Chapter 145 My Savage Husband (11)

Wang Qingwan nodded with a smile. Although she thinks she has some talent, she also knows the truth that there are people outside the world. The young ladies in the capital are all talented, and they all studied under the Confucianism since they were young. This kind of short-sighted person can compare.

Wang Qingwan was quite open to it, if she could pass the Juren exam then that would be fine, if not, as a scholar, it would not be difficult for her to find a job in the town.

"Miss Wang is kind-hearted, she must be a person of great talent, and there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

If Su Qi thought, if Wang Qingwan could win Juren, her Su family could help her with one or two things, and it would be considered a repayment of her kindness for saving them.

"I hope so."

Wang Qingwan was not too polite, among the scholars in this world who have read books all their lives, who would not want to go to high school?

Su Qiruo asked some more things about the village, Wang Qingwan also told her all of them, and the two had a great time talking.

Wangjia Village is the poorest village in Lihua Town. There are not many people in the village, but there are quite a lot of land.

But the tax is too high. Except for the village head who is a scholar who doesn't have to pay the public grain, other villagers have nothing left after paying the grain.

"Since there is nothing left from growing wheat, why don't the village grow something else? Rice is more than five times more expensive than grain. Wangjia Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, so why haven't you thought about planting another kind of rice?"

Su Qiruo also inadvertently heard Nan Jingmu talk about the price of grain in the town that day. He went to buy polished rice, and the waiter in the shop was very enthusiastic about him. After asking the price later, he knew why it was so.

It turns out that buying one catty of rice is enough to buy five catties of noodles.

The rough food is hard to swallow, Nanjing Mu can't eat it by himself, let alone give it to Su Qiruo.

Although flour is cheap, Nan Jingmu doesn't know how to make pasta, so he can only buy some polished rice to cook porridge.

Neither he nor Su Qiruo can eat, although a small bag of polished rice is more expensive, it is enough for the two of them to eat for a long time.

Nanjing Mu just said that casually, but Su Qiruo remembered it. Now that Wang Qingwan said that there was no food left, Su Qiruo would say that.

"Replant rice?"

Wang Qingwan was taken aback for a moment, but she had never thought about it before.

"But the ancestors in the village have grown wheat for generations, and no one knows how to grow rice. If there is no harvest at that time, wouldn't it be a waste of work?"

Wang Qingwan knows how difficult it is to change the deep-rooted ideas in the village, and no one will try unless they see with their own eyes that growing rice can make money.

In fact, it’s no wonder that the villagers are conservative. The whole family relies on these few acres of land for food. If nothing grows in the land, wouldn’t the whole family starve to death?
Su Qiruo frowned slightly, thought carefully before saying: "Then you can use some of the fields to try it out first, and then encourage everyone to change after seeing the benefits of planting rice with their own eyes. Actually planting rice is not difficult, go Rice-growing villages buy some rice seedlings, and you can plant them as soon as you come back. You can ask the rice seedling sellers about the specific process, and if someone wants to buy their rice seedlings, they will not even tell such a small thing.”

Su Qiruo is not too clear about the specific details of planting rice. She only remembers that the process of planting rice has seven steps: land preparation, seedling raising, weeding and pest control, fertilization, irrigation and drainage, drying, and screening. How to implement it, then she will I no longer know.

But what is certain is that for farmers, this has no technical content at all.

The fact that rice is so expensive now is obviously due to the low yield of rice. Looking at the situation in Wangjia Village, it may also be related to the fact that there are few people planting it.

After all, growing rice cannot be separated from water, so the requirements for the geographical environment are relatively high.

Wangjiacun actually occupies a good location. If someone is willing to try it, it will definitely make more money than growing wheat.

"Miss Su's suggestion, I will talk to my mother after I go back. If my mother is willing, I can allocate some land from my house to try."

Wang Qingwan devoted herself to studying in order to help the people of Wangjia Village live a better life in the future. She felt that Su Qiruo's words were very reasonable. If Wangjia Village could switch to planting rice in the future, at least she would sell the remaining rice for some noodles in the future. , There is still some money left at home.

Wang Qingwan stood up as she spoke. She wanted to go back and discuss with her mother now. Her family did not need to pay food every year. Although life was better than other families, she also spent a lot of money on studying.

If this method works, then the good days of Wangjia Village will come soon.

"It's not urgent. We still have to find out before doing it. It won't work if we miss any step."

Su Qiruo didn't get up either, she just smiled and said to Wang Qingwan.

"If the rice is really planted, Ms. Su will be the benefactor of our Wang Family Village."

Wang Qingwan seemed a little excited, she only now understood the so-called "insight" that the master said.

Although she only spoke a few words with this Miss Su, she felt that a door of hers had been opened.

If they dare not change and do not change, then Wangjia Village will continue to be poor like this.

Only by daring and trying can you have a chance to change your destiny.

"Miss Wang is our benefactor."

Wang Qingwan also stopped being polite to Su Qiruo, said goodbye to her and left with Wang Qingqiu.

Before Nan Jingmu reached the door with the firewood on his back, he saw two people walking out of their yard.

He was anxious and ran home quickly.

When she appeared in front of Su Qiruo, she was already panting and sweating.

"What are you running so fast for?"

Su Qiruo frowned distressedly, slowly got up and came to Nan Jingmu's side, wanting to help him unload the firewood from his body.

Nan Jingmu didn't let her touch it, and hid sideways.

This firewood is still quite heavy, and her body is still not in good shape. If it gets stretched again, it will be useless to raise it for so long.

"I saw someone went out from home, I'm afraid something will happen to you..."

Nan Jingmu walked a little anxiously just now, and was far away, so she didn't see clearly who was going out from the yard.

"It was the two children of the village chief who brought us some vegetables. Was that Wang Xiucai the one who helped us back then?"

Su Qiruo pinched her sleeves and wiped the sweat off Nan Jingmu's forehead, her movements were extremely gentle.

Nanjing Mu blushed even more from running, but he still stood there without moving, letting Su Qiruo wipe his sweat.

He doesn't know what mood he is in now, he just wanted to use her to investigate the case of Nan's family, but now his thoughts seem to have changed a bit.

Not daring to face Su Qiruo again, Nan Jingmu hurriedly carried firewood into the kitchen, and only after she came out did she talk about Wang Qingwan with Su Qiruo.

"Exactly, if it wasn't for Wang Xiucai, I don't even know where I would take you."

"Wang Xiucai is a good person. If she can go to high school, she will be a good official who will benefit the people in the future."
