The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 42 An unexpected surprise
  The three Zhao Youliang brothers were so frightened that they quickly went to the ground to help, but were directly rejected.

Wang Wei was already suspicious. If you go, how will I know the true result?

A quarter of an hour later, the two cadres ran back excitedly. He said to Wang Wei: "Sir, what the Zhao family said is true.

This plow is indeed lighter and more convenient than previous plows, and it is not a problem for a man to use it alone. "

After hearing what the two said, Wang Wei also became excited.

These are all political achievements! With all this, are you still worried about not being able to get promoted normally?

Even if he is suppressed by his family again, he still has the capital to compete.

Wang Wei tucked his official robe into his belt and prepared to get off the ground.

When everyone saw it, they immediately stopped him.

"My lord, you must not do so. It will damage the authority of the official."

After hearing what the master said, Wang Wei frowned with dissatisfaction on his face.

"The Emperor goes to work in the fields every spring, so there is nothing I, a little county magistrate, can't do.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and spring plowing and summer planting are the most important things for the people in the world. You actually said something that was detrimental to the authority of the official. I don’t know what to say. "

When Zhao Youde and others saw it, they quickly followed him to the ground to help.

After plowing around, Wang Wei found that it was indeed much lighter.

He told Zhao Youli not to pull the plow for him because he wanted to try it alone.

When Zhao Youli heard this, he looked at Zhao Youde and saw him nodding.

Zhao Youli put down the rope and stepped aside.

After a while, Wang Wei happily said to several people: "This thing is really easy to use, even if you are alone, it doesn't take any effort.

If it can be promoted throughout the county, it will definitely solve the problem of lack of labor in many families.

Your Zhao family has done something remarkable. If this thing is done, I must give credit to your Zhao family. "

"Sir, I don't deserve the credit. We are lucky to be able to help you."

While walking back while chatting, Wang Wei heard that both children of the Zhao family passed this year's county examination, and the smile on his face became even more cheerful.

The master thought for a while and said to Wang Wei: "Sir, the first name in this year's county examination seems to be Zhao."

"Oh, but my child?"

Looking at Wang Wei's questioning eyes, he desperately suppressed the pride in his heart.

He said modestly: "Thanks to the Lord, this child is lucky and won the first place. Now both children have gone to Fucheng, and I thought about giving it a try.

If you fail the exam, just think of it as gaining knowledge. When you come back, you will know what aspects you should focus on. "

Wang Wei nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, if only the people in the entire county had such awareness.

Why worry that education cannot be carried out?

After walking for a while, Wang Wei suddenly saw a field of yellow wheat in front of him.

He picked up a handful of wheat ears with his hands and pinched them with his fingers. The grains are plump, and the dryness and humidity are enough for harvesting.

"Is this wheat? Whose wheat can be harvested now?"

"Sir, the wheat in this area belongs to our family. The winter wheat planted last winter will be ready to be harvested in a few days."

Wang Wei looked at the Zhao family in surprise and said doubtfully: "Winter wheat? But I have never heard of it before.

Where is winter wheat grown? How did you come up with the idea of ​​planting? "

"As an adult, this winter wheat was made by several children in my family. During the autumn harvest last year, the eldest son was accidentally injured, and the child's exam was another expense.

When a few children were looking for mountain goods, they discovered that Yang Tao had been sold for some money. Otherwise, the two children might have to borrow the money to guarantee this year.

The method of retting was also figured out at that time for growing winter wheat. Seeing that the winter wheat was growing well, we added a few more acres of land. "

Wang Wei and Master excitedly looked at this piece of wheat and cheered excitedly.

This is even more shocking than the surprise brought by the previous farm tools. After all, this is related to the lives of people all over the world. If growing winter wheat can be promoted, the family will no longer be able to hinder his promotion.

Thinking of this, Wang Wei couldn't help laughing excitedly.

Seeing the county magistrate being so crazy, Lao Zhao and the others were a little confused.

Looking at the wheat in my hand, I can see that the grains are full and the color is uniform, which is good wheat.

"Master Hu, we happened to meet you today. Let's harvest two acres of land to see the yield. How are you doing?"

The white-bearded Master Hu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Very good, very good!"

When Zhao Youde saw this, he told Zhao Yang to go home and get farm tools.

While waiting for the farm tools, Wang Wei and his master couldn't sit still and began to patrol the land.

I saw several acres of harvested land in the corner, full of wheat.

He said distressedly: "Your family is good at tending the fields, but the harvest is so rough.

Look at the wheat all over the ground, and the wheat stalks are also uneven. "

The Zhao family's father and son were very nervous when they saw the county magistrate's face turned ugly.

Zhao Youli stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Sir, it's not that our family doesn't value food. It's that we have another hidden agenda."

"Tell me more carefully?"

"Sir, we are farmers. What we care most about is the output of the fields. It is not easy to harvest winter wheat.

What's more, the wheat harvest in my field is not bad, so we naturally try our best to protect the fruits of our labor.

Unexpectedly, there was a thief in the village who joined forces with people from outside the village. They knocked us unconscious last night and stole wheat.

Fortunately, the people we hired to take care of it discovered it, otherwise the land today would probably look like these few acres of land. "

As soon as Zhao Youli finished speaking, everyone felt that the air around them solidified.

Looking up at the county magistrate's face, his face was as calm as water, but his eyes seemed to be spitting out fire.

Looking at the expression on the master's face, the master knew that this matter could not be done well. Your Excellency attaches great importance to grain production, because it is not only related to his political performance, but also to keeping the people fed.

The calmer he is, the angrier he is.

Master Hu looked at Zhao Youde: "Have you caught the thief? Is there anyone suspicious?"

Zhao Youde heard the master's question and immediately replied: "Sir, we have caught the suspects, but they do not admit that they did the thing. We are still interrogating them."

"Now that we have caught the person, why not send him to the authorities for investigation?"

Upon hearing the county magistrate's rebuke, Zhao Youde quickly fell to his knees.

"Returning to your lord, I thought that we all belong to the same village. We should investigate the matter clearly, and then give some small punishments and big warnings to teach you a lesson. We don't dare to bother your lord with these trivial matters."

Wang Wei gritted his teeth angrily and said, "A trivial matter? How about grain production?"

Lao Zhao and the others were frightened by the county magistrate's anger and knelt on the ground.

Looking at my nervous nephew who was shaking all over, I really couldn't bear it.

"My lord, please calm down. There is a stipulated rule in the village. As long as there is no murder case involved, the village elders will solve it in the ancestral hall.

If the problem cannot be solved, it will be reported to the county government. After all, if the people don't sue the officials, they won't be held accountable. We didn't handle this matter properly. "

Ancestral hall?

When I came here and saw the people in the square, I immediately understood the reason.

Seeing that several members of the Zhao family were lying on the ground in fear, Wang Wei did not make things difficult for them anymore.

"Although the argument is nothing more than a humane thing, the problem must be dealt with according to the situation."

Then he ordered the officials around him to go to the ancestral hall and take custody of the suspect.
