However, some attentive people discovered that the rain falling this time was very different from the past. The rain was not transparent and colorless. There was a hint of green in the raindrops, which looked a bit weird.
In fact, when they went out to weed the next day, more people discovered something strange.
That is, after being watered by this hearty rain, the originally lifeless wheat actually became full of vitality, and the originally dry wheat grains became swollen.
As for the weeds in the fields, they are growing crazily, which has caused a lot of trouble for the people to weed.
But to the ecstatic people, all these troubles are nothing. As long as the wheat grows well and the harvest is promising, this little bit of hard work is nothing.
Time passes little by little in the busyness of people.
Fang Xiaoyue also immersed herself in dealing with the official documents piled up in the county government office.
Twenty days passed in a flash.
The wheat is ripe and becomes brilliant yellow, and the people are happily harvesting it in the fields, enjoying the joy of the harvest.
Fang Xiaoyue, on the other hand, took Qian Yushui, the chief bookkeeper, and Zhang Wangshui, the arrester, and others stood outside the north city gate, watching everything.
Not long after, a field was harvested cleanly, and Fang Xiaoyue invented... Well, the imitation human thresher quickly rotated with the efforts of several farmers, and the grains of wheat fell off, and they quickly piled up on the ground. It became a small wheat mountain.
"Quick! Get weighed!"
The chief bookkeeper, Qian Yushui, was undoubtedly much more excited than Fang Xiaoyue, and he hurriedly ordered the two government servants responsible for collecting grain to be weighed.
When it was time to collect grain in the past, these two government officials would definitely try every means to fight and fight in order to reduce the weight of the grain, but they would never dare to do so in front of the county magistrate.
After the weighing was completed, a yamen servant immediately stepped forward and said, "Report to the great master, the field is one-third of an acre, and the total grain yield is 438 kilograms."
After Fang Xiaoyue heard this, she immediately calculated the yield per mu in her mind. This was almost three hundred kilograms per mu.
This made him slightly disappointed. Even though he had used the vitality talisman of all things, the yield per acre was only about 300 kilograms. This shows how barren the land here is.
If it were replaced by the best fields in Kuangluo County, the yield per mu would probably exceed 800 catties, or even a thousand catties.
But Fang Xiaoyue was not satisfied with the yield per mu, but after the bookkeeper Qian Yushui calculated it mentally, it turned out to be a different experience.
"Congratulations to the eldest sir. This autumn harvest has yielded more than 300 kilograms per mu. It is simply auspicious and auspicious! I also ask the eldest sir to write a memorial to report the good news to the court."
Indeed, in the past, the yield per mu in Qiongshui County was about a hundred kilograms, but now it has turned several somersaults in one breath. Whether it is the bookkeeper Qian Yushui or the cheerful people, everyone feels that this is definitely auspicious omen.
However, Fang Xiaoyue suppressed the matter.
In this regard, Chief Registrar Qian Yushui was a little dissatisfied. Although most of the political achievements like this would fall on the county magistrate, as the chief registrar, and with the vacancies of county magistrates and other officials, the political achievements he would receive would not be the same. Too little.
Maybe with this memorial, I will be promoted next year.
But after Fang Xiaoyue and Qian Yushui had a private discussion, Qian Yushui gave up his plan to present the memorial privately.
The reason is simple. Although Qiongshui County has a bumper harvest this time, a bumper harvest like this is undoubtedly rare.
Once this matter is reported, Qiongshui County will face a problem later.
That is, the amount of national grain turned over next year will be significantly increased.
Because the Ministry of Household Affairs collects national grains from various places based on the average local grain production in the past three years as the tax base, and collects 5-10% of the grain as agricultural taxes.
Like the southern region where agriculture is developed, the agricultural tax is naturally high, with a maximum of 10%.
Places like the northwest usually charge the lowest 5%.
But even so, due to the barrenness of the northwest, even a 5% agricultural tax makes the people miserable.
This is not surprising. For example, a hundred kilograms of grain produced per mu in Qiongshui County, after removing the grain seeds, is only 80 kilograms at most. This is not enough for food and clothing, and 50 kilograms of grain must be extracted from the hundred kilograms of grain. % as tax.
If Qingshui County reports this matter, the grain yield per mu within three years will be increased, resulting in a lot more agricultural taxes next year, the year after, and the year after that.
By then, one can imagine the severe blow it will have on the people of Qiongshui County.
In short, it is absolutely forbidden to report the production volume.
After the two existing officials in Qiongshui County communicated with each other, the matter was settled.
It must be said that the bumper harvest had a great impact on the people.
After all, in the past, the food produced by the autumn harvest in Qianshui County was not even enough for food and clothing. When the lean years came, people could only look for bark, leaves, etc. to satisfy their hunger and survive those difficult months.
It's fine now, the yield per mu is 300 kilograms!
After most people turned in the imperial grain, the remaining grain was enough to feed them for the next year.
This alone made them grateful to Fang Xiaoyue.
Many people began to set up longevity tablets for Fang Xiaoyue at home.
In less than a month, the number of tasks for Changshengpai reached 100 households.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the second branch task: Immortality Card, and obtained the Star Treasure Box*1."
Um?
The rewards for this branch of the mission are very generous.
Fang Xiaoyue previously thought that this branch of task could only obtain a few thousand destiny points at most.
Unexpectedly, he was given a Star Treasure Chest.
Of course, mission rewards obtained in the plane or world are not restricted by the Dragon Qi World.
Fang Xiaoyue, who was sitting in the study, closed the window and door, then obtained the Starlight Treasure Box and opened it.
As the dazzling starlight circulated, the Star Treasure Box dissipated, leaving behind a page full of fairy charm.
Reaching out to grab it, Fang Xiaoyue immediately felt the information inside.
It turns out that this is a broken page from the Book of Immortality.
Its name: Incense.
Fang Xiaoyue then spent two thousand destiny points and took out the book of immortality.
It has to be said that the dragon energy system in this world is more sensitive to foreign objects than Fang Xiaoyue imagined.
As soon as he took out the book of immortality, dark clouds gathered outside and thunder rumbled, as if a thunderbolt was about to fall.
Fang Xiaoyue hurriedly merged the remaining pages of the incense with the Book of Immortal Way, and then sent the merging Book of Immortal Way back to the dice space, thus preventing a possible thunderstorm.
There is no doubt that many people are a little confused about the dark clouds that suddenly appeared over the county.
Fang Xiaoyue also knew that after alarming the dragon energy system, some problems would probably be discovered in the capital.
You must know that in addition to the special department of Dao Supervisory Department, Daze Country also has a department like Qin Tianjian that specializes in observing the stars and detecting abnormal movements of dragon energy.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyue doesn't have to worry for the time being.
After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
In places like the northwest, it is easy to alarm the dragon energy system.
For example, if foreign enemies invade and plunder, or if some kind of monster appears, it will alarm the dragon energy system.
Like Fang Xiaoyue's previous use of the dragon energy system to kill monsters, this also falls into this category.
Having said that, Fang Xiaoyue can blame this strange movement of dragon energy on the monster.
The question is whether the Qintian Supervisory Committee will send people to investigate because of how violent the dragon energy movement is this time.
A week later, Fang Xiaoyue saw that there was no movement, so he took out the book of immortality and read it again.
The Book of Immortals has been integrated with the remaining pages, giving birth to the Incense Chapter.
Fang Xiaoyue only briefly immersed her spiritual thoughts in the Incense Chapter for a moment, then pulled out and put the book of immortality into the dice space.
No way, the dragon energy system was too sensitive. In just a moment, a bolt from the blue fell over the county town.
Fortunately, the thunderbolt struck the vegetable garden in the backyard of the county government office, and no one was around at the time. Otherwise, there would have been casualties.
Of course, just after being immersed in it for a while, Fang Xiaoyue also had some understanding of the so-called Incense Chapter.
To put it simply, this chapter on incense contains various methods of using incense to enhance oneself, borrowing the power of incense, and even turning incense into a god.
Due to the bumper harvest in Qiongshui County in autumn and the rapid drop in temperature after winter, the people in Qiongshui County do not go out for anything. They hide at home as much as possible, light firewood, and enjoy the rare leisure time.
As a result, there is basically nothing going on in Qiongshui County except for some finishing work of handing over the imperial grain.
Fang Xiaoyue handed over the handover of the imperial grain to the chief bookkeeper Qian Yushui. Qian Yushui left Qiongshui County and headed towards the county town with more than a dozen government servants and more than fifty conscripted servants.
As for Fang Xiaoyue himself, he spent the next month concentrating on studying the relationship between incense and the dragon energy system.
In fact, after coming into contact with the incense chapter, he discovered that incense has a very close relationship with the dragon energy system.
After a month of research, coupled with some abnormalities caused by the number of longevity cards exceeding one hundred households, he finally grasped the mystery hidden in the incense and dragon aura.
As mentioned before, dragon energy is based on the dragon veins contained in mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and is mixed with human energy to form dragon energy.
The key point of mixing popularity to form dragon energy is incense!
Every year, the Daze Kingdom's court holds a grand ceremony to worship heaven. Hundreds of thousands of people in the capital spontaneously gather at the Temple of Heaven on the outskirts of Beijing to witness the ceremony in which His Majesty the Emperor leads hundreds of civil and military officials to worship heaven.
This is the largest incense ceremony in Daze Country.
The huge popularity is transformed into incense, integrated into the dragon's veins, and generates dragon energy.
In addition to the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, the Ministry of Rites of the Daze Kingdom also held an incense ceremony to worship the four emperors every year.
These four emperors are the righteous gods worshiped nationwide in Daze Kingdom, and they control the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively.
In addition to these four righteous gods, each province of Daze Country also has local righteous gods worship rituals, but most of them are gods of mountains and rivers.
Each county and county also has its own land and city emperor to worship.
Come to think of it, it was precisely because of the close relationship between incense and dragon energy that the Daze Kingdom strictly prohibited the worship of obscene sacrifices!
The so-called obscene sacrifice refers to worshiping evil gods who are not canonized by the imperial court.
It is said that when Daze Kingdom was first established, obscene worshipers were everywhere and a lot of troubles were caused.
For this reason, the Daze Kingdom's court cut down mountains and destroyed temples, dispatched hundreds of Taoist officials and tens of thousands of troops. It took decades to eradicate most of the obscene priests.
Of course, such things as obscenity still exist in Osawa even now.
Most of today's obscene rituals are performed by weasels, foxes, snakes and other monsters who have become spirits in order to absorb incense.
However, most of them have some abilities that are different from ordinary animals, some can seek wealth, and some can cure diseases.
As a result, some ignorant people in remote mountain villages will worship obscene priests, hoping that the immortal can make them rich, or cure diseases, etc.
But these ignorant people would not have thought that when they worshiped monsters, what they gave away was not only incense, but also some indispensable things.
This is one of the reasons why the Daze Kingdom's court strictly cracked down on obscene worship.
In fact, for example, the people in Qiongshui County erected longevity tablets for Fang Xiaoyue, which can be regarded as obscene sacrifices.
It's just that compared to the obscene sacrifices organized by those monsters, they are very small in scale and movement, and the longevity cards are usually enshrined by officials. They are under the supervision of the dragon energy system, and there is nothing special about them. Ability is just that of an ordinary person.
Under such circumstances, even Haixiang, the great upright official of Daze Kingdom more than two hundred years ago, had thousands of people offering longevity tablets to him wherever he was an official.
But even so, the upright official Haixiang is just an ordinary person, and he can't do anything with incense at all.
Since this is the case, the imperial court of Daze Kingdom will naturally not prohibit the people from offering longevity tablets to officials.
Of course, as a result, the Daze Kingdom's court supervised the scientific examinations more strictly to prevent monsters from pretending to be mortals and passing the exams.
If the monster is allowed to pass the test and pass the examination, then the problem will be huge.
As for the monster becoming a Jinshi, that is impossible.
I knew before that the college entrance examination was held in the capital, and the dragon energy system in the capital would monitor any creature that entered the capital at all times.
As long as there is a little bit of monster energy in the body, even ordinary people will be detected by the dragon energy system, let alone real monsters.
During the whole winter that followed, Fang Xiaoyue spent her time studying incense besides examining some trivial eucalyptus in the county.
Of course, since every once in a while, he would take out the Book of Immortality and read the Incense Chapter, so he had to stay away from the county town every time.
This way it avoided the eyes and ears of the people in the county.
However, the frequent occurrence of winter thunder made the common people a little worried and frightened, and soon there were even rumors about the appearance of monsters, which frightened Zhang Wangshui and quickly reported it.
After checking, it turned out that it was the rumor caused by Donglei.
Winter turns to spring, and with the sound of spring thunder, the people of Qiongshui County begin spring plowing.
In response, Fang Xiaoyue just performed a plowing performance to persuade farmers.
This is a performance that every county magistrate must perform before spring plowing.
Daze Country is based on agriculture and was originally an agricultural country. When spring plowing time came, even His Majesty the Emperor would pretend to plow in the spring fields behind the palace, leading oxen and plows.
Not to mention the following local officials.
