Chapter 129 Not demanding
Seeing that Cheap Dad didn't speak, Daohua thought he didn't understand, so she immediately took the account book in his hand, turned out the most important pages, and explained it to him one by one.
"Father, let me tell you, if you are worried, you can try planting on a small scale first. If the yield is really higher than ordinary grain seeds during the autumn harvest, you can promote it on a large scale."
"Increase food production. Food is related to people's livelihood. Father, if you want to keep people in Xingzhou City and even further afield from going hungry, how many people will thank you."
"By the way, and..." Daohua quickly pulled out the comparison chart she made in the account book: "Father, look at this, I think if you can promote my improved grain varieties,
I can continue to improve."
The grain seeds currently stored by the Yan family were cultivated by her using the least fertile yellow soil in the space. If she uses red soil or black soil, the yield will definitely increase.
However, in order not to attract attention, this must be done slowly.
As for the grains she has today, she spent three years in every household in Yanjia Village, playing tricks to get through the light before she dared to take them out.
Otherwise, if a little girl under ten years old has improved grain seeds, it would be quite scary if she said it. She doesn't want to be known as a lucky girl and then be targeted by interested people.
There is a saying that goes: when things are done, just brush off your clothes and hide your merits and fame!
Oops, I can't continue thinking about it. If I continue to think about it, she will be moved.
Yan Zhigao looked slightly uncomfortable when he looked at his eldest daughter who was so enthusiastic towards him for the first time.
How come the eldest daughter seems to care more about people's livelihood than he does?
"Ahem!"
Yan Zhiqing Qing Sangzi, took the account book away from Daohua, put it on the table, pressed it with his hand, and then said: "I think this account book is from two years ago, what's the matter with such a big thing like grain farming?"
Why don’t you write and tell me?”
Daohua: "Aren't you afraid that you won't believe it? Besides, I haven't sown seeds myself, so how can I talk about this kind of thing casually!"
Yan Zhigao looked at his eldest daughter and had a new understanding of her.
He now believed that what his mother and wife said about the eldest daughter's actions was true.
"I just took the account book, and I will take care of the grain matters." He said, looking at Yan Zhiqiang, "Third brother, do you have winter wheat grains?"
Xingzhou City grows winter wheat, and if possible, he would like to see the effect this year.
Yan Zhiqiang nodded: "Yes, but our family does not store a lot of grain seeds. If the eldest brother wants to vigorously promote it, he can buy some from the clan. Now, every household in the clan uses rice flowers.
What about the cultivated grain seeds?"
"Third brother!"
Mrs. Li suddenly said: "Don't say in front of others that grain seeds are grown from rice flowers."
"Ah?" Yan Zhiqiang was stunned.
Mrs. Li explained: "Daohua is the daughter of the boudoir. It's better for our family to know and not to spread the word." These days, women are too powerful, which is not a good thing.
"Oh!"
Yan Zhiqiang nodded.
After that, Yan Zhigao took Yan Zhiqiang to talk about grain farming, and he didn't even bother to eat.
After dinner, when Daohua was about to return to her yard, she was stopped by Mrs. Li.
"Mom, do you have a problem with me?"
Mrs. Li touched her daughter's head, held her hand, and walked slowly: "Planting flowers and making a flower shop are elegant things for my daughter's family. If you do it, mother will not object."
"But the matter of grain seeds is related to people's livelihood and is not something that your daughter's family should take care of. If your improved grain seeds can really increase the yield of the fields, it will be a very big thing, and it may even alarm the emperor.
."
Daohua opened her mouth: "No way, I haven't improved much, just one or two stones."
"One or two stones?" Mrs. Li shook her head, "Don't underestimate this stone. If we encounter a famine year, I don't know how many lives this food can save."
Daohua smiled: "Mom, I understand your worries. Don't worry, my daughter is just doing things at home. As for other things, I will leave them to my father to handle."
Anyway, her family members know about it, especially the cheap dad. He has benefited, so he can't just slap her as easily as before.
She doesn't want much, she just wants to live more comfortably in this family, be able to do what she wants to do, have her own ideas, and not ignore her opinions when it comes to decisions about her.
Parents’ orders cannot be violated.
In fact, since she was promoted to magistrate of Xingzhou, she can feel that her father's attitude towards her and Mrs. Li has changed, which is good.
She knew very well that no matter how capable she was, in this ancient patriarchal society, as a boudoir girl, if she wanted to live well, she could not do without the support of her father and brother.
Helping them also helps yourself.
Mrs. Li smiled happily: "You are smart. You must know that we women are not easily stronger than men. Otherwise, you will not be able to get married!"
Daohua blurted out: "Then I won't marry."
"Pa!"
Mrs. Li gave Daohua a bump on her forehead, but this time she didn't hold back much.
"Mother~"
Daohua touched her forehead and looked accusingly at Mrs. Li who suddenly hit someone.
Mrs. Li said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense like not getting married anymore."
Daohua nodded depressedly.
When it comes to getting married, both Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yan have surprisingly consistent attitudes.
"Then I want to find someone I like, and you can't just marry me off casually!"
Mrs. Li glared at Daohua: "Just now you said you wouldn't marry, and now you have to find someone by yourself. You have become faster."
Daohua: "......"
......
Yan Zhigao attaches great importance to the matter of grain seeds. It is now the end of September, which is the time to plant winter wheat. After getting the grain seeds from Yan Zhiyuan, he summoned a group of experienced farmers and personally led them
Farming on official land.
Originally, the official land in the yamen was not easy to collect and use.
But now, his son and nephew are all classmates of the young prince and officials in the state government. They are very obedient to his orders. Many things will be done for him by just one word from him.
p>
It is also because of this that he dares to plant his own grain seeds with confidence.
If it had been in the past, he would have had to think carefully whether his credit would be taken away by others.
Time flies and it’s mid-October.
Wangyue Academy.
Brothers Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao supported each other back to their homes.
Yan Wenkai bared his teeth and said: "Oh, I will definitely not be able to move tomorrow!" Today's training was so hard that every part of his body was in pain.
Yan Wentao wondered: "I think the training intensity of the young princes and ours is about the same. Why do they seem to be much easier than us?"
"That's because after practicing martial arts every day, they take medicinal baths to relieve body pain." At this point, Yan Wenkai suddenly paused.
