The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 41 A distinguished person comes from Shatin Village
  "Isn't it you? How would people from other villages know that there is wheat ready to be harvested in the village.

Without someone else to bring him in, it would be impossible to find the wheat field so accurately.

If you don't tell the truth, no matter who comes to plead for mercy, I will send you to the police. "

When the elders of various families saw that Zhao Youde was really angry, they wanted to send the two families to the officials for punishment.

He quickly said to Sun Leizi and Zhou Mazi: "You two fathers, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your children!

The older of your children is married and has no children, and the younger is only twelve or thirteen years old. Can you bear to have them go to jail with you? "

"Uncle Zhao is really not us. So many people in the village know it. Maybe they told it and it's possible!"

When the people in the ancestral hall heard what Sun Leizi said, they thought it was possible and whispered.

When he heard that he was about to be sent to the county government, the kneeling youngest son of the Sun family shrank back.

I want to hide my body where no one will notice.

And Zhao Youliang happened to see him hiding.

He said angrily: "Sunda, was it you who did it?"

When Sun Da heard Zhao Youliang's words, his body trembled even more fiercely. When the people in the ancestral hall took a look, there was nothing they didn't understand.

"Sunda, tell me, are they colluding with outsiders? Which village are they from?"

Before Zhao Youde finished speaking, Zhao Yunxi opened the door and walked in.

When Old Man Wu saw Zhao Yunxi coming in, he scolded: "You are a woman, how can you enter the ancestral hall? There are no rules?"

Zhao Yunxi ignored him and said calmly: "Village chief, someone from the government is here. I don't know who it is, but he is riding a horse and is already arriving at the entrance of the village."

Zhao Yunxi's words were like water dripping into a pan of oil, and the entire ancestral hall exploded instantly.

"Who reported it to the official?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the Zhao family. The Zhao family father and son were also confused as to what was going on and looked at Zhao Youde.

Zhao Youde looked at the crowd and said, "No one has reported the crime. I'll go out and take a look first."

When the Sun and Zhou families heard that the county magistrate was coming, a flash of panic flashed in their eyes.

The children from both families were paralyzed with fear, and the timid ones were so frightened that they peed.

"Dad, what should we do? An official is here, and it doesn't mean that our two families don't hide food.

If you don't admit it to death, nothing will happen? Dad, I don’t want to go to jail. "

Hearing his youngest son's cry, Sun Laizi was also a little flustered.

He didn't expect that the Zhao family would be so decisive and actually report to the official.

"Okay, don't cry. Even if they check, they can't find anything. Our two families have nothing.

You should be more strict with your words and don't mess up your position. "

"That's right, maybe it's okay. Your cowardice has aroused suspicion.

Just ask you and you will say you don’t know. "

Several people inside the ancestral hall were making confessions, while people outside the ancestral hall were kneeling on the ground.

Sun Leizi, who was already a little panicked, heard that his younger son

"Zhao Youde, the head of Shatian Village, Cao Min, came to see the county magistrate. I don't know that your great presence is coming, but I am not welcomed from afar. I hope you will understand me."

"The common people bow to your Majesty."

"Everyone get up!"

A middle-aged man wearing a light green official uniform looked at the crowd of people in the square.

"It's spring plowing. Isn't your village busy? They are all gathered in the square. Is there some activity?"

Zhao Youde is a good person. As soon as he heard this, he knew that the county magistrate was not here because of what happened last night.

But I still wonder why the county magistrate came to Shatian Village for no reason.

"My lord, it's just that the village is dealing with things. I wonder what the county magistrate's orders are when he comes today?"

Wang Wei looked at the slightly trembling village chief and chuckled: "Don't be nervous, I'm here today.
  I heard that there is a new method of fertilizing in your village, as well as new and improved plows.

Stop by and check out the situation. "     Zhao Youde was relieved upon hearing this: "Sir, we have a new plow.

But I don’t know if it’s what adults say. Please wait for a moment, sir, and I will ask someone to get it. "

Wang Wei waved his hand and said: "This period happens to be the time for spring plowing.

You ask people to go to the fields with plows, and I take a look at the sowing situation in your village. "

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youde greeted Zhao Yang to go home and get the plow, and he followed the master into the fields.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​improving farm tools and finding a new method of fertilizing?"

"My lord, the method of improving farm tools and fertilizing was all thought up by the villain's third uncle's family."

When Wang Wei heard this, he remembered someone's explanation before leaving.

"Call your third uncle and his family to accompany me for a walk, and tell me the specific situation by the way."

Zhao Guangming came forward with his three sons: "Zhao Guangming, a common man, brought his sons to see the county magistrate."

"Everyone, get up. I heard that you came up with these improved farm tools and the method of retting fertilizer. Tell me how you came up with the idea of ​​improved farm tools?"

After the four father and son thanked each other, they bowed their heads slightly. Hearing the adult's question, Old Zhaotou felt nervous. Why would he ask about farm tools and fertilization?

Could it be that the improved farm tools and retting methods have been known to the county magistrate?

"Sir, the method of retting was invented by my grandchildren. The improved farm tools were not invented by us either.

It was a book our family bought at a grocery store, which recorded some styles of farm tools.

We thought about trying it to see if it works as well as the book says. "

"Book? I don't know what book it is? Can you let me see it?"

Old Zhaotou said fearfully, of course, and then asked the second child to go home and get the book.

Not long after Zhao Youcai left, Zhao Yang caught up with farm tools.

After handing the farm tools to the officer next to the county magistrate, he followed the two uncles and stood together honestly.

If you look carefully, you will find that the steps of the three people are a bit frivolous.

Watching the county master walk away, the square was immediately filled with noise.

"Oh my god, I can still see the county magistrate in my life. He walks with a square step, and he is so impressive."

"That's right, have you seen it? The look in the county magistrate's eyes is always scary. Just one look at it makes me scared."

He glanced at the ancestral hall and said, "It seems that the Sun and Zhou families are going to be in trouble this time. The county magistrate has come down in person."

The two families kneeling beside the ancestral hall suddenly started wailing again when they heard what everyone was talking about.

The wheat field in the north of the village.

Although Wang Wei comes from a good background, he is not ignorant of farming.

Especially after becoming a county magistrate, in order to urge the people under his jurisdiction to farm.

Every spring planting and autumn harvest are sent to the countryside, and I also know a lot about farming.

Looking at the plow in front of him, Wang Wei was very curious. Obviously the difference from before is not big, except that the straight shaft has been changed into a curve.

After questioning the four father and son members of the Zhao family, I saw them squatting awkwardly aside to explain the structure.

When asked about the principle, Wang Wei was surprised when he heard what they described.

Just by adding some seemingly inconspicuous things, the changes can be so big.

He had doubts in his heart and immediately called the Yamen officer to try.

The two government officials tied up their outer robes and went down to the fields. One person pulled the plow and the other helped the plow.

Although he is a government official, he still does a lot of farm work every year. So the two of them are quite familiar with each other.

Yamen A and B have pulled plows before and know that pulling plows is very laborious.

So this time, they also used all their strength. The next few people on the field ridge saw the two of them jumping directly into the ground.
