Chapter 338
While Lan Xi was busy, a big event suddenly happened at home, Chang Wenwu was getting married.

It was Liu Cuie who showed it to the relatives. After careful calculation, Chang Wenwu is seventeen this year, and it is not too early to marry a wife in this era.

So Liu Cui'e met several girls, and Chang Wenwu met a girl from a merchant's family.

Speaking of which, although Chang Wenwu is only a scholar with a reputation and is not prominent in this place in the capital, it is not bad to marry a wife.

In addition, there is Lan Xi, the eldest brother, so there are not too few girls to choose from.

The girl Liu Cuie picked for Chang Wenwu was named Feng Bihong. There were two rice shops in her family. As the eldest daughter of the family, her family background was not bad.

Moreover, Feng's father also wanted his daughter to marry a scholar, preferably an official, who could give the family some protection, but he also knew that his family's conditions were a bit unrealistic.

But Chang Wenwu has a reputation as a scholar, and his elder brother is an official in the court, so he caught his eye.

The reason why Liu Cui'e chose Feng Bihong was mainly because Feng Bihong followed Feng's father to do business since she was a child.

Chang Wenwu and Feng Bihong also met in private, and later the two exchanged a closer relationship, agreeing to spend the Chinese New Year this year.

When Lan Xi knew the news, the two parties had even decided on the date, and when the family sat together to discuss the details, Lan Xi met the family of the second brother's in-laws.

After a hasty meal, Lan Xi had a happy chat with Master Feng at the dinner table, which made Master Feng more determined that it was the right decision for his eldest daughter to marry Chang Wenwu.

Seeing that Lan Xi is only at the age of Guan, she is an official in the court, and her conversation is good, and she is not high when talking to a merchant like herself.

It's just a pity that Lan Xi is not his son-in-law, but his son-in-law is not very old, maybe he can still go to the entrance exam in the future.

Lan Xi then fell into a busy life again. Even though the end of the year was approaching, Lan Xi was still not at ease.

After attending Chang Wenwu's wedding, the family has added another person, so it is a happy thing.

After a festive New Year, Lan Xi started to work again.

The next thing is the key point. Although the decree has been promulgated, not everyone chooses to use the enhancer.

However, nearly two-thirds of the people chose it, which is also due to the early publicity.

But although these people agreed, how should they use it? Lan Xi specially ordered the people below to focus on how to use it when they come to pick it up.

In this way, it was busy until mid-March, and every household in the village had already started raising seedlings.

First, the seeds are sun-dried for two days, and then the seeds are soaked in a certain proportion with the liquid medicine for three days, and the seedlings start to grow.

Seedling raising usually takes about a month. When the seedlings are almost ready, transplanting begins in mid-April.

Lan Xi stared at this matter, and when all these experimental seedlings were planted, Lan Xi did not relax, and often ran around the capital to record the growth of these seedlings.

After a while, Lan Xi became visibly darker and lost a lot of weight. Even Lord Zhou exclaimed when he saw her.

"Master Chang, although the work is important, you must also pay attention to your health."

Lan Xi is fine, it's just that she's too busy during this period of time, and Wuxia doesn't care about eating, so she loses weight.

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. It's just that it's too busy during this time. Due to the different situations in different places, there will be different situations. It needs to be recorded and dealt with in time." Lan Xi said.

Mr. Zhou nodded, "During this period of time, I have worked so hard for Chang's work. If the harvest is good this year, the emperor will definitely remember Chang's work as a great contribution."

Although Lan Xi is still in charge now, he knew that the emperor valued him since he served as Lord Zhou's deputy. However, Lan Xi had no merits and could not be promoted to him, so he let Lord Zhou be in charge.

Lan Xi didn't refuse either, "Then wish Lord Zhou and the next official a speedy promotion in advance."

Lord Zhou didn't expect Lan Xi to say that, so he laughed out loud, "Wen Xuan is really temperamental, hahahaha!"

Lan Xi didn't relax at all until the time of harvest. God is also very face-saving this year. There are no major natural disasters. Although there is rainfall, the rainfall is not too large.

When it was time to harvest, Lan Xi took a carriage to check the situation around the capital and listened to the conversation of the two villagers around.

"Brother Zhou, your family has had a bumper harvest this year. I can see that the rice in your family's several acres of land is growing well. Not only are the ears of rice large and abundant, but also there are few pests. Do you have any secrets for farming?" The short man looked around and asked in a low voice.

Known as Big Brother Zhou, he laughed. It was obvious that the rice was good this year, and he couldn't help being happy. Even the creases on his face couldn't hide his laughter.

"Brother Zhang, there is no secret in my family. Our two families are next to each other, and we can still hide it from you, but when we raised the seedlings this year, the government gave a kind of medicinal solution to achieve such a high yield.

I also went to other houses to inquire. Anyone who uses the government's medicinal solution, the rice in the house grows very well. This year, the harvest per mu of land can be dozens of catties more. "

Brother Zhang next to him couldn't help being envious, "I said I would use it at the beginning, but the old woman at home insisted not to let it, because she was afraid of wasting money. This woman really has long hair and short knowledge. Alas, next year my family will definitely use the government's liquid medicine."

Eldest Brother Zhou next to him thought for some reason, "My family also said that this year they used less. There are a total of eight acres of land, and my family only used four acres. The result is four acres of medicinal liquid. It is obvious that the rice is growing well. , next year my family can use them all."

The two of them didn't talk much, the harvest was about to come, and it was time to be busy.

This kind of dialogue has been staged many times in the villages around the capital.

How many people regretted not using the government's liquid medicine this year, and those who used the liquid medicine were secretly happy. This year, they charged tens of catties more per mu than before. Pay half of the tax less, and this year's family can cut two catties more meat during the Chinese New Year. Thinking about it, I can't help being happy.

Finally, after busy harvesting, the common people transported bags of white rice back home, and the smiles on their faces could not be concealed at all.

Mr. Zhou also got the yield of rice near the capital, and the average yield per mu of the experimental field unexpectedly reached more than seven stones, nearly 420 catties.

This can be said to be a great progress in agriculture. I didn't see that when the Ministry of Household Affairs saw him, there was a smile on his face. After all, although the tax revenue near the capital was a little less, the harvested grain output was more.

Moreover, when rice production increases in the future, more and more grain will be harvested.

After Lan Xi knew the result, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had confidence in himself, the final result did not come out, and his heart was still hanging.

Seeing this result now, he knows that he has done the right thing, and with this result, the next work must be carried out better. Not to mention other things, it will at least increase the rice production.

When the emperor saw this report, Longyan was even more delighted, "Rewards, everyone has rewards."
