Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Zhang Zhuangtou said to Gu Yunxi, "Young Madam, all the wheat grains on the farm have been put into the granary. There are 1,250 sacks in total, and there is still half a sack left."

Gu Yunxi was a little surprised. How could a farm with more than 200 acres of land produce so much wheat?

The sacks filled with wheat grains were specially made by her. One sack can hold about one stone of wheat grains. With 1,250 sacks, the yield per mu is as high as five stones!

Although this output is still far behind that of modern times, it is already very good for this era.

Before she could open her mouth to speak, Zhang Zhuangtou said with a smile: "Young Madam, this is strange. In the past, the yield per mu of our farm was only three stones at most. This year, we have such a good harvest. I don't know why."

"Is it because the seeds Butler Mo bought are special?"

Gu Yunxi was very surprised. No matter how good the wheat grains Mo San bought outside were, it was impossible to increase the yield so much!

The only possibility is that she added spiritual spring water from space to the Green Creek and the water source on the mountain, which led to an increase in wheat production.

However, in front of Zhang Zhuangtou, Gu Yunxi naturally would not say it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Maybe. You can ask Mo San later where he bought the seeds."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhang, and the farmers have all worked hard. I'll ask Mo San to go out and buy some food for everyone. You can take it back and distribute it to everyone."

"Also, everyone will receive two portions of this month's monthly salary!"

Zhang Zhuangtou listened with great joy on his face. His previous masters had never been so generous. Now it seemed that their farm had been sold to the Lu family. They really met a good master!

Zhang Zhuangtou was full of gratitude and said, "Thank you, Madam. I will tell them how good you are when I get back!"

Gu Yunxi smiled and waved his hand, and warned: "Add an extra key to the granary and have someone keep a close eye on it. We won't sell our wheat this year, just in case."

Zhang Zhuangtou immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Madam. I will add a lock when I get back and will definitely guard the granary well."

Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded, then asked about the water issue again.

"How is the water level in Green Creek now? How is the water in the well?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhuangtou's originally excited and happy face suddenly fell, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and he shook his head and sighed: "The water in Green Creek is getting less and less day by day, Madam, the water in our well is still better, but it seems to be getting less and less."

"Let's continue to ask everyone to reduce water use. How about this? You assign someone to guard the well and limit the amount of water used each day."

There is a severe drought in the world now, and all she can do is limit herself to this. Unless it is absolutely necessary, she will not draw out the spiritual spring water from the space.

Zhang Zhuangtou nodded, stood up and said goodbye, and followed Mo Sancai to buy snacks.

Gu Yunxi felt a little headache and thought of the melon fields and medicinal fields in Xijiang Village, thousands of miles away.

It is time to start picking honeysuckle now. After picking the first batch of flowers, it will take about a month before the second batch can be picked.

If there is a drought, it will definitely affect the growth of honeysuckle, and it is not certain whether the second batch of flowers can be picked!

Also, I wonder how the winter melons in the melon fields are doing now? Normally, the winter melons won't be fully ripe until June.

Gu Yunxi was very troubled and didn't know what to do. It would be fine if she was in Xijiang Village, but now that she was not in Xijiang Village, she felt powerless.

You can't possibly abandon your husband and children and run back to Xijiang Village just for Hangua and Yinyinhua, right?

She sat upright on the round chair and shook her head gently. Lu Jianchuan came back and saw her. He smiled and asked, "Wife, what happened?"

Gu Yunxi looked up at him and said worriedly, "Achuan, let me tell you, the stream at Green Creek Farm is about to dry up, and the water in the wells on the farm is getting less and less."

Hearing this, Lu Jianchuan's expression froze, and he hurriedly asked, "Why is this happening? Is it the hot weather that caused the drought?"

Thinking about it, it seemed like it hadn't rained at all this year, and Lu Jianchuan couldn't help but feel alarmed.

Gu Yunxi nodded: "Look, it hasn't rained this year, and the weather is not as hot as before. Don't you think it's strange?"

"If you were to say me, it's really possible that there will be a severe drought this year."

After a pause, Gu Yunxi recalled, "I went to Qiaozhen's place in December last year and heard Qiaozhen say that it didn't snow on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. Instead, it rained heavily."

"If what the elders in the village say is true, the weather on the first day of the twelfth lunar month is very strange. This is a sign of a severe drought!"

Lu Jianchuan was extremely surprised. Yun Xi had never told him about these things before. He was busy with the affairs of the Hanlin Academy all day and had no idea what was going on outside.

Now, when he heard it for the first time, he was shocked and said hurriedly: "Wife, then we have to tell our parents as soon as possible and let them prepare in advance."

"No rush, we can talk about it later. I have made all the necessary preparations." Gu Yunxi smiled and held him.

Now food must be stored well. As for water... the well at home is not like the well on the farm. Moreover, even if the well at home really runs out of water in the future, she can also draw spiritual spring water from the space into it.

As for their Lu family and the people on the farm, at least they could be guaranteed not to run out of water and food, but she didn't know about the others.

I mentioned this to Lu Jianchuan today because I also wanted to remind him to give feedback to other officials in the court when he is on duty, so that they can pay attention and make plans early.

The couple whispered in the room for a long time, and after they had discussed it clearly, they went together to find Old Man Lu and He Feng.

When Old Man Lu heard about this, he became extremely anxious and immediately asked someone to write a letter back to Xijiang Village, telling the village chief to make preparations in advance.

The next day, Lu Jianchuan went to the Hanlin Academy and mentioned the matter to his superiors.

Gu Yunxi asked Xiao Cui and Mo San to personally go to Minister Yuan's house, the Xu family, and the Yongchang Marquis's mansion to deliver a letter, asking them to take precautions before any disaster occurs.

Father Lu sent the letter back to Xijiang Village at full speed, and it finally reached the hands of the village chief Lu Lihua in two days.

When the village chief Lu Lihua received the letter, his hands shook after reading it. He hurriedly called his two sons, asked them to dig a pit to store water, and bought a lot of food to store at home.

At the same time, he hurriedly told other people in the village to make preparations and store up food and water, so as not to wait until a real drought came, which would be too late.

Some people in the village listened to the village chief and really rushed to the town to buy food, and even notified other relatives to buy it together. Some people were very disdainful of the news.

Even when they saw villagers buying food and bringing it back, they laughed and said, "Oh, look at your faces, it's really hilarious. You took this nonexistent thing seriously!"

The people who bought the grain felt very uncomfortable and hesitant. Could it be that the news was really untrue? However, the grain had been bought and could only be transported back home and stored.

Those who laughed at the villagers didn’t know that soon they would be slapped in the face by reality.
