Winning every step of the Red Mansion

99

This year's spring has plenty of rain. Because of the drought last year, we are all happy to see this year. We only hope that the weather will be smooth this year and the poor harvest last year will be reversed.

But the rain didn't go as people wished, and it fell more and more.It's fine that there is a lot of rain in this Qingming Festival, but it is always cloudy and rainy after Grain Grain. Shi Feier sees the weather as really depressing.I think of a song I read when I was a child: one year of drought, one year of waterlogging, and another year of grasshoppers flying by.It has been a year of drought, and if the drought does not turn into flood this year, I am afraid that it will really cause another year of famine.

Last year's severe drought could force the Northwest to reverse, and now the Northwest has just stopped for two days.If there is another year of flooding this year, I don't know what troubles will happen again.

After thinking about it, Shi Feier ordered to Huang Li: "Go and ask the uncle to come here, just say that I have something to look for him." Thinking about how to spread the name of loyalty and filial piety in this mansion, this Jia Amnesty often leaves the mansion.Shi Fei'er didn't care about it, but was rather curious about what Jia Amnesty was going to do.

When Jia Amnesty went back to the mansion, when he heard that Jia's mother was looking for him, he came in a hurry before he could change his clothes. "Old lady, old lady, are you looking for something for me?"

Shi Feier asked without answering: "I see you often go out of the house these days, but what's the matter?"

Jia She nodded and said: "Old lady, it rains a lot this year. I thought it would be a good thing. I never thought that the rain would not stop. If it keeps going like this, I'm afraid it will become flooded. Last year, many of these farms reported to build canals. If it is really flooded this year, the canals may be used. I will go and see if these farm owners are not cheating."

Shi Fei'er was a little surprised when he heard this, he could have ordered his servants to do this kind of thing, but he really didn't expect Jia Amnesty to do it.Don't say that Shi Fei'er was surprised. In the past few years, even if the holy order made him so afraid, he could deal with it sloppily, but now after hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Amnesty really felt that he had done too little before. It is really not an easy task for the Jia Mansion to stand for a long time.The word loyalty and filial piety is easy to say, but it is really not easy to do.What's more, if you want to use this reputation of loyalty and filial piety to support a whole family, you can't achieve it just by donating some money.

Jia Amnesty had no idea at all, so he went to the old father-in-law to ask for a solution.Thinking that his old father-in-law was originally a first-ranker in the dynasty and a bachelor, so he was naturally several times stronger than himself.When I told my old father-in-law about my thoughts, I didn't expect that my old father-in-law was stunned.After a long silence, the old father-in-law said: "You have been thinking deeply and long-term. If you ask me about this matter, I will not be able to come up with an idea for a while. But all the people in the world, agriculture is the foundation. Last year I heard that You have gained some reputation by exchanging labor for rent, if this method is good, why not see if it can be promoted. In this way, your reputation for benevolence in this mansion can be spread more widely."

Jia Amnesty was deeply impressed by what he heard, so he thought of going to see how the Zhuangtou's promises from last year were fulfilled.I don't know if I don't go away, but after a closer look, I found out that some of the village heads were cheating, this made Jia She very angry, and ordered people to investigate carefully, and verified these Zhuangtou, who is deceiving his superiors and subordinates, has a lot of things to do.Jia She is quite experienced in dealing with this matter now, he should be punished, he should be punished, he should not be soft, he should not indulge, and he should not look at the old feelings, so after some rectification, the farmers in this farm would be grateful when they mentioned Jia She and the Rongguo Mansion , repeatedly praised.

Shi Feier asked again: "How is the situation?"

Jia She frowned slightly and said, "It's okay, but they still have cunning thoughts. They didn't expect me to go there in person this time, and they were caught. I sent someone to visit and found out that this kind of deception There are also many incidents in the head of the village, and the farmers dare not speak out. My son has rectified it a lot."

Shi Feier nodded and said: "I just remembered that your uncle gave me the yams. Last time you said that those who came with him were also sent to the village by you. Now this yam plant How?" Shi Feier couldn't directly say that you plant this thing well, it will be of great use, and it can prevent famine, so she had to ask implicitly.

"I was negligent." Jia Amnesty hesitated, "I'll check it out myself tomorrow."

Hearing what Jia She said, Shi Feier was not surprised. Sweet potatoes are only particularly useful in famine years.Besides, people here didn't know about this thing, so it's normal not to care.

"After all, that thing was sent by your uncle all the way. If we don't take good care of it, it wouldn't be nice to wait for your uncle to return to Beijing and ask about it." I don’t know if the fields in Xihai Yanzi will be able to support me if I change them here, and I don’t know what the yield will be? Is the taste of planting here changed? You should worry about it this time.”

"Of course I should. I'll go check it out tomorrow. Even if I can't disappoint my uncle's wishes. Now that the victory in the Northwest is great, the Holy One is very happy. The return of the army's commanders is just around the corner. When the time comes, I will use this thing to welcome my uncle. fan."

Shi Fei'er tried her best to hold back her laughter, thinking in her heart that if someone used sweet potatoes to catch the wind and wash away the dust for her, she would definitely lose her face.On the mouth, he said: "It's so good."

Afterwards, Jia Amnesty really made a trip and inquired about it himself. When he learned the estimated output of this thing, he was really taken aback.I didn't expect such an unremarkable thing to have a good harvest.And those two people also said that the fertilizer here is more suitable for planting than Xihai Yanzi, and the yield may be improved.Jia Amnesty went back to the mansion and hurriedly reported the matter to Jia's mother.

Shi Feier pretended to be surprised and said: "If this thing has such a harvest, you don't have to worry too much even if you encounter a disaster year. It's really a good thing."

"That's true, it's just that everyone doesn't know about it." Jia She sighed.

"It's not difficult. Isn't the Lord Zhongjing in charge of the inner government and military supplies? I think he will be interested in this kind of high-yield food. If you really encounter a disaster year, you might as well take a look with him first."

Jia Amnesty nodded after listening, if this thing can really help the disaster, it would be a great achievement to submit it.

In the blink of an eye, it was autumn again. Because of the heavy rain this year, it turned into waterlogging, but fortunately, although there was waterlogging, it did not cause a catastrophe.Although there are still people fleeing from their hometowns, it is not a huge number of refugees.This made the court slightly relieved.But no matter what, this disaster still needs to be rescued, but last year's severe drought reduced production, and this year's flood naturally did not yield a lot, and last year there was a war in the Northwest, where did the money and food relief come from?This made the court very worried.

Jia Shen paid the farm rent for rent last year, and many of the canals built by the farm came in handy this year, but the impact of the flood is relatively small.Although the harvest is not a good year, it is good compared to other places.This did not surprise Jia She.What shocked Jia Amnesty the most was the yield of this taro. Although he had known it before, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. He didn't expect that these ten seedlings could breed so many.

Jia Shen thought about it and invited the loyal and respectful prince to his farm on the pretext of hunting, and showed him the taro again.The loyal prince was overjoyed after seeing it, and praised Jia Amnesty endlessly.Jia Amnesty didn't dare to take the credit, so he told the story of the taro in detail to Prince Zhongjing. After hearing this, Prince Zhongjing praised Old General Shi, and at the end, he also praised Mother Jia, calling her Insightful and visionary.

Jia Amnesty was naturally happy, and went back to the mansion to report the matter to Jia Mu, and told Jia Mu that he only ordered people to keep the yams in the field this year, and donate the rest to help this disaster year.

The loyal and respectful prince got the yam, so he wrote a booklet and explained it in detail. The holy majesty was overjoyed after seeing it, and issued an order to reward the old general Shi, and ordered his troops to return to the court.In the court hall, Jia She was praised, saying that he was very loyal and filial, and he could be a model for all officials

With a swipe of the imperial pen, the yam was named Hong En Potato, taking its meaning of the emperor’s great grace, and ordered it to be planted in large quantities to make up for the lack of harvest. The common people thought it was a mouthful to call it Hong En Potato. Seeing that the inner capsule was red, they simply called it sweet potato.The sweet potatoes are large in quantity, delicious, and not picky about the land. They are really a good food supplement.In this way, the reputation of Jia's mansion was further spread by the broadcast of sweet potatoes.This time is also an afterthought.

"Grandmother! Grandmother!" The two little fellows respectfully greeted Jiamu and then snuggled up to Jiamu's side and refused to leave.

Shi Fei'er looked at this, looked at that, and in a blink of an eye, she hadn't seen each other for three years. The two children became more and more handsome, but she still couldn't tell which one was the eldest and which was the second.

"Nan'er, Hua'er, stop pestering the old lady, and forget all the rules as soon as you leave the house?" Jia Min waved at his two children, and the two children pouted and reluctantly moved towards their mother. took two steps.Shi Feier smiled and said: "It's been a long time, don't tell them to go, and let me take a good look."

Now that Lin Ruhai has fulfilled the filial piety period, the Holy Majesty ordered him to work again.The Lin family returned to Beijing.Back in Beijing, the first thing Jia Min did was to visit Jiamu and greet Jiamu.

"Sister, I haven't seen you for a few years, but I'm getting thinner again." Mrs. Zhang said from the side.

"I haven't seen you in two years. This Lian'er is just this old." Jia Min pulled Jia Lian over and asked a few more questions. Jia Lian answered clearly and simply, so Jia Min was naturally happy.Turning around and seeing Yuan Chun standing next to Mrs. Wang, she liked it even more, "When I left Beijing, Yuan Chun was not yet a baby, but now she is so cute. Second sister-in-law is the most blessed, and now she has all her children."

Hearing Jia Min compliment her so much, Mrs. Wang was also somewhat pleased.This Yuanchun is smart and well-behaved, and he will please the old lady.Now the old lady only has this granddaughter, and she treats Yuanchun better than her grandson.

"Sister-in-law's praise, I think Nan'er and Hua'er are sensible, and they will definitely be good fortune and great talents in the future."

Shi Fei'er was too lazy to speak, anyway, among the women who had given birth, the child was the one who talked the most and caused the most conversation.He talks about other people's children, but what he desires most is for others to praise his own children.
