…

Time flies by.

It has been ten months since the Liu and Zhao clans were destroyed and completely withdrawn from the stage.

In the past ten months, many festive events have happened to the Wang family. The funeral banquet of the sixth grandfather Wang Xiaohan was held very lively. After that, there was the wedding of my sister Wang Luoyi and Chen Fangjie.

In a few days, it will be Wang Shouzhe's wedding again.

It can be said that the Wang family is prosperous and happy events continue.

This is the season of autumn harvest.

Inside Fenggu Farm.

In thousands of acres of fertile fields, the rice grains that have reached the mid-to-late stage of filling are like waves in the sea, swaying up and down with the wind, which is very spectacular.

The tenant farmers are busy in the fields. They carefully serve the rice, add fertilizer when it is necessary, and identify those barnyard grasses in the rice that are mixed with the eyes of fish and slip through the net.

Barnyard grass and rice grass look very similar, and they can be regarded as the ancestors of rice grass. Our ancestors have cultivated barnyard grass from generation to generation, and today's rice grass is the result. They grow wildly and cannot be eliminated, competing with rice grass for precious nutrients.

If it is not treated cleanly, it will definitely affect the grouting of the rice.

The tenant farmers worked very hard, but this year's tenant farmers showed joy after working hard.

Just because this year, the host family got new rice varieties from nowhere. They said that half of the land of Fenggu Farm will be planted with new rice seeds.

At first, the tenant farmers complained privately, fearing that the new rice seeds would not be suitable for the land and the harvest would fail, which would affect their share of the harvest.

Fortunately, the owner is kind and promises to plant new rice seeds, and the tenants will be distributed at least according to the average income of previous years. If there is a good harvest, additional distributions can be made.

Plant it this season.

As the grain-filling period progresses, the tenant farmers discover the power of the new rice species. Not only are the plants taller and less prone to lodging, but the ears of rice are also larger and have more grains than ordinary varieties.

Many tenant farmers are old farmers, and they know that if things continue as they are, they will probably be able to harvest one more quintal of rice per mu of land this year, and the quality may be even better.

Nowadays, the price of new rice is slightly higher. Even if calculated based on the original price, every twenty acres will result in an additional gain of one dry gold! This income does not include the pure additional income of taxes, fertilizers, cattle, labor, etc.

Even if each tenant farmer is equally divided, there will be thirty coppers! If there are improved varieties of wheat, wouldn't there be an extra sixty coppers a year?

Why don't the tenant farmers like this?

This extra income can be saved up and used as a wife for the children in the future. Or the children can be sent to learn a trade. With the skills, not only will they not have to work hard in farming, but the income will be high, and even marrying a wife will be much easier.

Many tenant farmers are already thinking about the future, so that they can save enough money to buy enough farmland more quickly so that their children and grandchildren can become homesteaders.

As soon as they thought about this, they became more motivated.

…

at the same time.

At the head of the field, the energetic fourth grandfather Wang Xiaozhi said excitedly: "Shou Zhe, the Wang's No. 9 rice seed you researched is indeed a high-quality rice seed. If all our farms could plant Wang's No. 9 rice seed,

, I will make a lot more money this year.”

Nowadays, the Wang family has abundant meat. Wang Xiaozhi and other clan elders who used to be frugal are also ordered to supplement spiritual food, and even use Xiao Pei Yuan Dan and practice diligently.

Therefore, Wang Xiaozhi looks very good this year and looks much younger. Even if there is no hope of the Lingtai realm in this life, he can at least live healthy for a few more years.

Wang Shouzhe didn't want these clan elders to work hard for the family all their lives and train generations of children, only to end up unable to walk at the age of eighty, and their old age would be miserable.

"Fourth Grandpa, change the land next year and plant it again last season. If there is no problem, then completely replant Wang's No. 9." Wang Shouzhe is also quite satisfied with the Wang's No. 9 that he has carefully developed.

The reason why he was able to develop rice varieties was due to his mysterious bloodline power. When he discovered that he could make dead trees spring into bloom and flowers bloom instantly, he had already thought of stimulating the birth of elixirs such as Linggu.

Unfortunately, after some research, he found that he wanted to keep things simple.

Dead trees bloom in spring, and flowers bloom instantly, but it can only be used on ordinary plants.

And they cannot be catalyzed in a very short period of time, because there is no supplement of nutrients and the catalysis is too fast, which will consume their life potential and soon wither.

Of course, for those spiritual grains, spiritual plants, etc., they are not without catalytic effects.

However, if only one ear of white jade rice is spawned out of thin air in a very short period of time, the resulting rice husk will be empty.

If they were planted according to normal practices and increased nutrition, it would take Wang Shouzhe more than ten days to finally mature and produce white jade rice ears.

And there is only one plant, so the price/performance ratio is extremely low.

As for elixirs that promote the birth of ginseng, let alone it. Ten days of hard work to promote the birth of the ginseng can at most increase the life of that ginseng by one year. The effect of promoting the birth of the ginseng is useless.

However, Wang Shouzhe estimated that the level of his mysterious bloodline was too low and too thin. If one day, the mysterious bloodline awakens to the extreme, it might be able to produce a century-old ginseng in an instant.

It's just that with the current situation, it's really too tiring and uneconomical to generate spiritual seeds.

After much deliberation, he decided that instead of catalyzing spiritual seeds, it would be better to improve ordinary rice and wheat seeds. So he built a laboratory and began to catalyze rice seeds on a small scale.

His bloodline ability has great advantages over ordinary plants.

It only takes about a few days for the rice seeds in this experimental field to mature and be harvested, as long as the nutrients in the greenhouse experimental field can keep up.

Therefore, he decided to use his new abilities to cultivate rice seeds.

The original rice seeds came from the Liu and Zhao families, who were on farms whose production had been reduced to such an extent that it was unbearable to witness. The rice that could still survive after the production had been reduced to such an extent must be of higher quality in terms of insect resistance and disease resistance.

part of the rice.

Starting from this foundation will be much simpler.

Subsequently, he cultivated new varieties of rice generation after generation. In his previous life, his knowledge of agronomy and breeding was very sparse, and he used it little by little.

It took him half a year to come up with fifteen varieties of rice, each with its own advantages.

But in the end, he chose Wang's No. 9, which has "mediocre" yield and not very outstanding insect and disease resistance, as the variety for large-scale experiments.

The reason is also very simple. One of the biggest features of the genetic mutation of this variety is that as long as the seeds are soaked in low-concentration salt water, the offspring will no longer be able to reproduce.

In layman's terms, only the Wang family can cultivate the first generation of seeds by themselves as original seeds and soak them in low-concentration salt water. After the seeds are planted, that kind of food can only be eaten and cannot be used as improved seeds.

.

This can effectively prevent the leakage of good seeds.

As far as Wang Shouzhe knows, many families with a long history or very powerful families will cultivate fine seeds from generation to generation. They either have high yields or high quality.

They keep these high-quality seeds for themselves and only use them on their own farms. When they are sold to outsiders, they will shell them. Because once they are sold as grain seeds, the entire variety will have to spread.

But Wang Shouzhe's Wang Family No. 9 has no such scruples.

Wang Shouzhe was thinking about it.

Wang Xiaozhi said: "Shouzhe, I know you are concerned about this mass production. But you should go back quickly. You will be getting married in a few days. The whole family is taking care of your wedding arrangements. You can't go to the farmland anymore.

Ran."

"I just wanted to take a look. I'll be back soon." Wang Shouzhe said goodbye with a smile.

In fact, he also knew that the Wang family had been preparing for his wedding for a long time. The wedding clothes and other items were made more than half a year in advance.

And the second brother, Wang Shouyi, had entrusted various merchants to purchase some high-end ingredients from Longzuo County and even surrounding areas more than half a year ago.

The rest of the family members have also been busy for a while.

Moreover, at this time of year, many married daughters have returned to the Wang family's main residence with their sons-in-law and children, both to celebrate and to help.

On the carriage back, Wang Shouzhe let out a breath. He couldn't help but be filled with emotion. Before he knew it, he was getting married!

What struck him most strangely was that he and his bride had never met face to face so far.

Neither of them knew what the other looked like.

And so far, the two of them have only met two or three times to communicate with each other in the distance.

This is even more exaggerated than Wang Shouzhe's online dating shows on earth.

But in this world, this kind of marriage between the legitimate son and the legitimate daughter is quite normal.

Before Chen Fangjie and his sister Wang Luoyi got married, they only came to the Wang family's main house once, but they did not dare to run to the main house after that. They looked like they were afraid of being beaten to death by Wang Shouzhe if they broke the rules.

"Haha~ But this kind of arranged marriage is quite good." Wang Shouzhe smiled. It takes many years to get married and fall in love on earth. How troublesome it is.

…

A few more days have passed.

Golden autumn October.

Autumn is high and crisp.

This is a harvest season and also a suitable season for marriage.

This is also a very important season for Changning Weishanyin Town.

Because in Shanyin Town, the Liu family of Shanyin has a status that covers the sky with one hand, and today is the day when their legitimate daughter Qian Jin will get married.

To celebrate this great event, the Liu family has announced that all fertile farmland within their jurisdiction will be exempted from the family tax for this autumn harvest.

What a huge undertaking!

You must know that there are about 70,000 acres of fertile farmland under the jurisdiction of the Liu family that is subject to family tax. The family tax collected from the family alone is as high as more than 700 thousand gold.

This is a great joy for most ordinary farmers. During the autumn harvest season, they will pay less than ten or dozens of copper coins in taxes, which is enough for them to live a full and prosperous year.
