Their usual method of planting rice is to sow the seeds directly into the cultivated land, wait for a period of time to germinate, and then start watering. During spring plowing, Yao Yatou said that growing seedlings first and then transplanting seedlings would increase the yield, but for generations they had been spreading the seeds directly, and everyone didn’t know whether Yao Yatou’s method was appropriate.
Later, Yao Yatou said that her newly opened three acres of paddy field should be used as a test field so that comparison could be made during the autumn harvest. Some villagers who were quick-thinking were thinking about the high-yielding potatoes and sweet potatoes. After discussion, the family decided to use the old method on the original paddy field. Plant a new acre of wasteland and plant it according to Ji Qingyao's method. If the yield during the autumn harvest is higher than that of the old paddy field or it is quite good next year, then plant it according to her method. As long as it can increase the yield of things in the land, everyone is willing to do it. try.
The scale of the soap workshop expanded after the year, and now one-third of the people in Xiaoxi Village work in the workshop. Because of the unrest outside and the extra income this year, few villagers go out to work.
Because the imperial court attaches great importance to potatoes and sweet potatoes, after the people who announced the decree in the capital left, the county government directly sent a team of six people to station directly in Xiaoxi Village. The food expenses were directly allocated to the village by the county government, and the village only needed to live according to the arrangement. Wherever you go, just find someone to cook for you.
The refugees who wanted to take advantage of Xiaoxi Village chose to stay away from Xiaoxi Village after being severely punished by the Yamen people and Ji Qingyao. Ji Qingyao originally did not want to come forward, but this time there were too many refugees, no less than a hundred people came, and Among them were several desperadoes.
The patrol team was all newbies who had never fought in actual combat. Seeing that the six people from the yamen and the patrol team were outnumbered, Ji Qingyao had no choice but to step forward.
Under the influence of Ji Qingyao, other villagers in Xiaoxi Village picked up the tools they could use at home and joined the fight. In the end, the whole village worked together to repel the refugees who came to make trouble.
The refugees who were dealt with suffered a loss and did not dare to organize people to go to Xicun again. However, rumors began to spread among the refugees. In the end, it was said that not only was there a person with extremely powerful martial arts guarding Xiaoxi Village, but there were also people from the yamen. Now, the later refugees did not want to provoke the evil star just for some food, so they all turned to other villages to cause trouble.
No matter who the common people are in this era, they will be naturally timid when facing people in the government. Unless the government forces the people to rebel, otherwise ordinary people will just hide away when they see people wearing official uniforms. .
Until this time, everyone in Xiaoxi Village had other perceptions of Ji Qingyao. She was beautiful, kind-hearted, good at fighting, and not even afraid of homeless people.
Since repelling the refugees, Ji Qingyao has not only become the instructor of the patrol team in Xiaoxi Village, but also the six yamen servants from the yamen. Her skills and abilities are the strongest among them.
The leader of the people from the county government was a man in his early thirties, surnamed Chen. He was tall and burly. Before the refugees came, he only had superficial respect for Ji Qingyao. After the refugees were beaten back, he and his All his subordinates have become Ji Qingyao's little fans. Using the moves taught by Ji Qingyao, they can achieve unexpected results whether it is a two-player battle or a team battle.
So Ji Qingyao had another job in Xiaoxi Village besides her original identity, helping to train the patrol team and the people from the Yamen. Sometimes Ji Qingyao would have the illusion that she was still in the future but was sent out to be an instructor.
Xiaoxi Village has a patrol team, people from the government, and Ji Qingyao, who has a high level of martial arts, so nothing happened. However, other villages did not have such a good fate. For example, Dahe Village was robbed of two pieces of clothing by refugees in half a year. This time, Ji Zhihai, the head of Dahe Village, brought Ji Xiuwen, the village's civil servant, to Xiaoxi Village, euphemistically calling it "Prayer for Buddhist Scriptures".
Pei Ningyuan couldn't explain how he felt when he saw Ji Xiuwen again after a year. Ji Xiuwen, who was over forty, was no longer as energetic as he was a year ago, and his whole person was gloomy and a bit decadent.
Ji Xiuwen was completely attracted by the village chief to accompany him, because Pei Ningyuan and Ji Xiuwen had a very happy chat when he went to Dahe Village last year. Ji Zhihai, the village chief of Dahe Village, came to Xiaoxi Village today, firstly to learn about Xiaoxi Village. The second protective measure in Xicun is for the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fields.
Ji Zhihai learned from a county police officer that two high-yielding crops were grown in Xiaoxi Village. Since the quantities are currently only grown in the fields around Lanzhou County and Xiaoxi Village, Dahe Village will not be able to distribute them until next year at the earliest. seed.
Therefore, Ji Zhihai took the idea of Xiaoxi Village and wanted to use the meager friendship between Ji Xiuwen and Pei Ningyuan to see if he could get the seeds in advance and help Dahe Village overcome the current difficulties.
Even if the autumn harvest is harvested, the entire Dahe Village will not be able to survive until the spring of next year, just because Dahe Village has been looted by the refugees, and the refugees have not let go of the seeds for spring plowing. The seeds planted in the ground now are all given to the county government by Ji Zhihai. I borrowed it, but after the autumn harvest, I returned the seeds and paid the taxes, and there was nothing left.
