Not only did he talk about his intention to buy cows, but he also showed that the few cows in the village are really waiting for next year, and it is probably not enough.

After all, in the spring plowing years, the ground was not so fine, so everyone was queuing it. They could be planted in March and April for a few days.

But now it is different. Now it is the method of planting paddy fields.

The method of planting paddy fields is very particular about the land. After a winter, the whole land becomes hard. If the seedlings are rooted in the future, they must first clean up the land.

Not only should it have water storage function, but it also needs to ensure that the land is soft enough.

Of course, even if it is as soft as sand, it cannot be softened into the glutinous rice ball and sticks into a ball. Otherwise, it will not be said whether the roots are pierced. Even if they are pierced, they will have to be suffocated here - this one is also

Want to breathe.

So it is as soft as sand, not as soft as glutinous rice balls, one by one.

If you want to pick up such a good field, there are several steps before and after, from ploughing the field to loosen the soil, to cutting the loose soil into small pieces, combing the flat rake field, and then to small pieces of snails that are formed.

It is broken, fine and crumbled like sand, and it has to be plowed several times.

If a family has a few acres of land, the time spent will increase rapidly.

In previous years, Zhujia Village did not have to be plowed so thinly. Each family would not have used so many days, so one village would be enough. But now it has been replaced by paddy field planting method. The time for each family to use plowing oxen has increased. It will be next year.

, so how enough?

Li Zheng, the patriarch was startled. They had never thought about this question: "Then...what should I do?"

"Auntie Zhu, you have to help you think of a solution. Everyone is not like your Zhu family, who can afford cows. Most of our villages are still poor, and they can't afford cows at all."

...

From one aspect, it is precisely because most people in the village can’t afford to buy cattle and buy ox carts that they can make some money from ox carts.

If every household has it, who else needs their ox cart?

But compared to this, the matter of next spring plowing is the top priority.

Ye Yuran chuckled softly and said, "Don't be anxious first. You can't afford it now. When next year, more people will definitely be able to afford it."

"How do you say this?" Li Zheng, the patriarch was confused.

Ye Yuran said: "Did you forget the hotel I worked with others?"

"You mean sweet potato?" Li Zheng suddenly remembered.

Last year, they also made a little money from this, and this year was more comfortable than in previous years.

Ye Yuran nodded.

"Your family only has the same restaurant, so I'm afraid I can't get so many sweet potatoes? Last year, everyone just tried to learn how to grow it. This year, they were planted with spring sweet potatoes. There must be many people who grow it this time..."

"I can't eat it alone, and there are others." Ye Yuran said with a smile, "How to do this? I haven't decided yet. I still need to discuss it with others and tell you after it's settled.

You have to know this in your mind.”

"That's great. As long as someone dares to harvest, even if it's a little cheaper, everyone will definitely be happy." Li Zheng said with a smile, "I planted so late last year, and there are so many. I have planted so many this year, so I will definitely only be more

More or less.”

"Everyone is a fellow villager in the countryside, and I am the same clan. I will definitely help you if you can, and take everyone to make money together. If you can't help, that's another matter."

"Miss Zhu, don't worry, it's a good thing to help if you can, but if you really can't help, no one will blame you. You have helped everyone so much. If there are still people who blame you, that would be too unkind...

"In order to reassure Ye Yuran, Li Zheng did not forget to say a few comforting words.

To be honest, if it weren't for others, would Zhujia Village have a good life now?

Since this is the case, you must remember other people's "goodness" more so as not to chill other people's hearts.

At the same time, the patriarch also talked about the merit monument.

Because this thing is now ordered, it takes a lot of effort for the stonemason to choose stones and engrave words. He asked, "Miss Zhu, when will your scholar go to the official school? This merit monument will have some time, I

I'm afraid I can't catch up."

What he said was that he couldn't keep up, and he didn't know if Zhu Qi would be in Zhujia Village on the day he was erected.

If it is better, if it is not there, they can make other arrangements.

"This won't be the one. The government test will be held in April." Ye Yuran said, "The government test is over, and there is also the college test. Although Lao Qi is already a scholar, he will still go when the college test is tested.

We sat in the classroom to accompany the exam. It was not until the end of the college entrance examination that the list of scholars was settled, and the state school started recruiting people."

"Oh, it will take so long, then I'll be relieved." The patriarch said in detail about the merit monument and said that everyone had discussed what they wanted to make.

He also asked the stonemason how others beat them, and they beat them in the same way. They don’t need to be too popular, just don’t make mistakes.

"Well! That's what I mean. If my seventh son was not the first scholar in our village, I think this merit monument should not be beaten. It's too popular. Others only won the merit monument after passing the exam."

Ye Yuran said.

The patriarch didn't think so, and said, "This is not the first one. The first one is naturally to commemorate it. The ancestors of generations, the first one of the Zhu family, of course they have to fight. When there are more scholars in the clan in the future, the scholar will be the master.

It's not that easy to fight..."

As he said that, he laughed again: "Hahahaha... I think it's pretty good, but I don't know if my descendants will be successful in the future. Don't even be able to compare with your seventh son at that time, then

It's really embarrassing!"

"Even my ancestors can't compare to them, it's embarrassing!" Li Zheng also answered the words and said with a smile, "This monument is to tell them that they must work hard and strive for their best, otherwise they will lose their belongings to our Zhu family."

Face."

All of them are expectation for the future.

Maybe they can't see it, but they believe that as long as this meritorious monument is present, there will always be young people in the motivational clan, and one day someone who is particularly good at studying will appear.

As long as there are too many people studying, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to pass a scholar?

It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road are about to break their souls.

At this time, Liu Jiantong was already sitting in the examination room of the mansion examination.

The drizzle fell, which brought some wetness to the imperial examination. Some candidates were unlucky and were assigned to a leaking examination room. A drop of rain fell and instantly wet the test papers.

He cried out in wail.

However, the yamen runner in charge of patrol would not sympathize with him and shouted softly: "Shut up! The examination room is noisy, and to deal with cheating, go directly to the dungeon."

"But my test paper is wet, it's not that I get wet, it's raining..." he said aggrievedly.

But before he could finish speaking, the yamen runner went up without saying a word and dragged the person out of the examination room.

He exclaimed: "Ah...what are you going to do?"

The yamen runner didn't say much and just blocked his mouth with a veil.
