Chapter 209 Yield 4 stones per mu
While Li was leading people sweating profusely in the rice fields, Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan led County Magistrate Chen to Huo Tianxiang's home. Huo Tianxiang introduced various new agricultural tools to Magistrate Chen and others one by one, focusing on their cost and usage. .
County Magistrate Chen was very interested in this. He had long heard that Huo Yunchao was a genius inventor. With his intelligence and Huo Tianxiang's support, he created several new and efficient agricultural tools.
Huo Yunchao pointed to the farm tools that were about to be used and said to County Magistrate Chen: "Sir, this is a threshing machine. Use it to thresh the rice, which greatly reduces the threshing time."
County Magistrate Chen was a person who did not play by the rules. He was extremely curious. Despite the disapproval of his master, he tied up his sleeves and trousers and went to use the threshing machine with his own hands.
Magistrate Chen's eyes were full of excitement and admiration, and he boasted: "Don't be surprised if you don't know how to use it. Huo Shulang's threshing machine is very cleverly designed! This threshing machine is really a good thing! I am going to report it to the court. Let more people have access to threshing machines!"
Huo Yunchao listened to County Magistrate Chen's impassioned speech and responded at the right time: "Sir, this threshing machine can be upgraded. The bamboo pieces here can be replaced with iron pieces, and the threshing machine will be more efficient!"
Listening to Huo Yunchao's words, County Magistrate Chen's eyes were filled with brilliance. He had a clearer understanding of Huo Yunchao's abilities: "Farming is the foundation of the country. If Huo Shulang can come up with such useful farm tools, it should be promoted to all parts of the country so that the people can use it." They can all use good things. Huo Shulang, young talents like you are the backbone of my victory in the future."
After understanding County Magistrate Chen's character, Huo Yunchao simply didn't do that trick.
He spoke politely and said to Magistrate Chen in plain language: "My lord, I am so ridiculous. I cannot take on such a big responsibility. I just want to do my job well, fulfill my responsibilities, eat well, drink well and sleep well." "
County Magistrate Chen held up his hands and laughed: "Huo Shulang said it well, he lived so clearly. A person's life span is only a few decades, so he should live like Huo Shulang said, so that his life here is not in vain."
Huo Yunchao was quite surprised by County Magistrate Chen's performance. He originally thought that Magistrate Chen was a puppet young master who followed his master's instructions. He never thought that he had preconceived ideas and underestimated Magistrate Chen's ability to recognize people and his personal charm.
Zheng Shaoxuan listened quietly on the side. He didn't have much to say, and more often he was observing the master secretly.
He and Huo Yunchao had privately discussed it, and each of them would keep an eye on the other, trying to get a thorough understanding of the conduct and behavior of the two powerful figures, County Magistrate Chen and Master Shiye.
Even if you don't understand it thoroughly, you can at least see 70% of it. If you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in every battle.
Huo Tianxiang, Xu Tuhu and others listened to County Magistrate Chen praising Huo Yunchao and treating him as affectionately as their own nephew. They were both happy and frightened, fearing that all the goodwill accumulated by Huo Yunchao would be ruined by one wrong move.
Fortunately, Huo Yunchao is a reliable person. He never loses control at critical moments. He has a good sense of proportion when dealing with County Magistrate Chen, Master and others. He neither overly pleases nor loses his etiquette. He really has a good grasp of the standards of communication. , neither looking for trouble for oneself nor making County Magistrate Chen and others unhappy.
County Magistrate Chen, Master and others have visited and used all the new farm tools. Their evaluation of Huo Yunchao has been raised a little higher, and they have already ranked Huo Yunchao
The court regarded it as a piece of cake.
You know, Huo Yunchao's "inventions" alone are enough to be famous throughout the ages. Coupled with his planting method that can double the rice yield, it is simply a big gold ingot that shines with gold. Who can't help but feel confused after seeing it?
The strong men were sweating in the fields, harvesting heavy rice, and the sun was scorching the earth. They were soaked in big drops of sweat, but they were happy in their hearts.
"Hey, based on my experience, Huo Yunchao can really achieve a yield of three and a half stones per mu!"
"No, I don't think it's that much. It should be three stones per acre."
"I think it should be four stones per acre. The harvest of this rice field will at least double!"
"What? This is impossible!"
"Then let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook and see!"
……
Xu Ansheng did not go to the fields to harvest rice. As the next Li Zheng, he does not need to show his face in this way. He is specifically responsible for guiding others to harvest rice, and where the cut rice should be concentrated. People use a threshing machine to thresh the rice, and then use a threshing machine to blow the freshly threshed rice to blow off the broken blades and other debris mixed in it, so that the rice looks as clean and tidy as possible.
Huo Yunyao quietly asked Xu Ansheng: "Why do you still need to blow the wind? More weeds will give more weight."
As Huo Yunchao's cousin, Huo Yunyao was worried that if the yield per mu was less than three and a half stones, Huo Yunchao would be held accountable by the county magistrate. Not to mention beheading, would it at least make County Magistrate Chen dissatisfied?
Xu Ansheng's face flushed with excitement. He suppressed his excitement and said in a low voice, "I can see that the yield per acre will be more than four stones!"
Huo Yunyao was shocked, "Huh? This,
How is this possible? "
He knew that this rice field would have a bumper harvest, but he really didn't dare think that it would yield four stones per hour! Can’t the yield per acre be nearly 800 kilograms? In the past, the yield of rice per mu was one stone, two stones and two and a half stones. Can four stones per mu be true?
Xu Ansheng suppressed his excitement, "Why is it impossible? Yun Chao and Ning Niang are so willing to work hard and carefully grow rice with high yields. Isn't it natural? Yun Yao, let me tell you, you are still You underestimated Yun Chao!"
When all the rice in the field was harvested and transported to the open space in front of Xu's house, Magistrate Chen held a bundle of rice and stepped on the threshing machine without saying a word.
Accompanied by knocking sounds one after another, the rice grains in Magistrate Chen's arms quickly separated from the rice stalks and fell onto the bamboo mat, making a crisp and sweet sound.
The master couldn't beat County Magistrate Chen, so he squatted at the air outlet of the threshing machine, holding on to the flying weeds and debris, and picked out a handful of wet millet: "Ouch! This grain is so full!"
County Magistrate Chen personally went into battle and used the threshing machine. He worked for a full quarter of an hour before retreating and letting others come on.
"Sir, please use some mung bean soup."
Huo Yunchao quickly brought mung bean soup from home. This was specially cooked by Xu Ning. It was not just for Magistrate Chen to drink, but was also given to Huo Yunyao and other people who had made great efforts.
County Magistrate Chen hadn't exerted so much strength for a long time, and his clothes were soaked. He was hot and thirsty. He picked up the bowl and took a sip. He didn't forget to ask Huo Yunchao: "Huo Shulang, do you have any extra mung bean soup?" Give these strong men a bowl."
Huo Yunchao really felt how down-to-earth Magistrate Chen was, and he hurriedly replied: "Big
My wife has already cooked a large pot of mung bean soup, enough for everyone present to have a bowl. Please don't worry, sir. "
County Magistrate Chen stopped talking and watched Xu Ansheng and others continue to work while holding mung bean soup. It was not until the weighing process that he excitedly said: "The yield is four stones per mu!
