Chapter 1186 Harvesting Rice (4)
When Wang Jiaxing learned that Sun Shan was the last on the list, he said in disbelief, "Uncle, a man of Sun Shan's talent would never be the last on the list. He must have been suppressed and met an examiner who didn't like his writing style."
Although Wang Jiaxing believes that he will surpass Sun Shan sooner or later, he cannot deny that Sun Shan is very powerful.
He simply couldn't believe that Sun Shan, who was so well-educated, could get the last place in the exam.
The Wang family didn't care at all what place Sun Shan got in the exam, as long as he was on the list.
Moreover, Sun Shan is indeed capable. Xingyazi's knowledge has improved by leaps and bounds in just a few months. He is really a good teacher.
It’s a pity that Lord Sun is the official in charge, not Instructor Deng, otherwise he would definitely send his son Jun Yazi to become his disciple, and maybe the Wang family would also have a Sun Shan.
County Magistrate Wang glanced at Sun Shan secretly. The letter from his aunt in Chenzhou Prefecture once again emphasized the need to be on good terms with County Magistrate Sun, because he was so dedicated in teaching Xingyazi, which showed that he was a man of learning.
Moreover, they discovered bird droppings that increased rice production, which was an incredible political achievement. They should not conflict with Magistrate Sun.
If the loss of interests is within an acceptable range, make concessions if you can.
The eldest aunt also said that Sun Shan's various behaviors were aimed at making political achievements, and then getting promoted and getting rich, and being transferred away from Yuanlu County.
The Wang family has no way to go further and can only focus on their hometown for the time being.
The Wang family needs to build a good reputation and accumulate blessings for future generations.
In short, the eldest aunt in Chenzhou Prefecture told them that those who can cooperate must cooperate, and those who cannot cooperate should create conditions for cooperation. Even if it really means both sides will suffer.
And from the current perspective, Sun Shan does not act like a domineering person, but rather a selfless person.
Such people usually come for fame and will not be too entangled in interests.
When County Magistrate Wang read the letter from his aunt, he felt that she had made a mistake this time.
This Sun Shan is obviously a greedy person, but he makes others appear not to be greedy.
Humph, especially when he saw the money, his eyes immediately raised high, looking like a typical corrupt official.
While watching the farmers harvesting rice, County Magistrate Wang slandered Sun Shan in secret.
The farmers in the fields were harvesting the crops and couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Farmer A asked, "Great Guard, how do your masters farm like this? These few acres of land don't need to be harvested, and you know the harvest is gone. Look at these rice stalks, there are only a few grains hanging on them. Oh, how can you farm like this?"
Farmer B quickly agreed, "Yes, look at this piece of land, there are only a few grains of rice hanging on the rice stalks here and there, how can this be good? Look, a handful of rice, only stalks, no grains. My God, this land is too ridiculous."
Farmer C said distressedly, "That's right, how can we cultivate this field? It's not just a crop failure, it's a crop failure. We can't even harvest a load of grain from this field."
Sun Dali knew that the crops in this "pure natural" rice field were not growing well, without the farmer telling him.
But their master just wants to do this, he doesn't understand but he will support it.
He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Our master knows how much grain this field can produce. Just focus on harvesting and don't say anything. Our master's work is not something that ordinary people can understand. If you could think clearly, you would have become an official long ago."
These words choked the man who was harvesting rice and left him speechless.
This is true, but when you see a rice field that seems to have almost no harvest, doesn’t your conscience hurt?
This Sun family guard speaks in a very arrogant manner.
Sun Dingnan also watched the men harvesting rice, and his temperament was much gentler than Sun Dali.
He smiled and said, "There is no fertilizer on this land, so it grows like this. Haha, just harvest it, and you will know why it is done this way later."
The men were just talking. Whatever Lord Sun did was none of their business.
Mr. Sun has a large family and a great fortune. Why waste this piece of land? Won't he still eat rice every day?
The men continued to harvest rice while secretly slandering Sun Shan.
With strength in numbers, the "pure natural" experimental field was quickly harvested and then threshed.
This is a more tiring job, but the men have long been accustomed to hard labor and can thresh the grain very quickly.
The rice was threshed quickly and then weighed immediately.
When everyone saw that there was only a large field and only two or three sacks of millet had been harvested, they were instantly shocked.
The onlookers could no longer hold back and started talking about it.
Crowd A tutted their mouths and said, "Such a large field, but they only harvested two sacks of grain. Oh my god, what a sin. This Mr. Sun said he could farm. Humph, my three-year-old son can farm better than him."
Citizen B asked, "Isn't it said that bird droppings can increase production? How come using bird droppings did not increase production but decreased production? What's going on?"
Spectator C looked at spectator B with disdain.
He said proudly: "Don't talk nonsense. Lord Sun has already said that nothing was planted on this land. The rice was left to grow on its own, so the yield is so low. The one that used guano is another field."
As a spectator, you must eat the melon completely before you feel comfortable eating it.
Humph, this idiot, he is only halfway through eating the melon, he is not worthy to eat melon with those of them who are at the front line of the melon-eating crowd.
Citizen C sighed, "It turns out that unattended fields yield so little harvest. Hey, it's just like that lazy guy in our village who just does whatever he wants on his fields and waits for the harvest. Haha, what a harvest! It's even worse than Lord Sun's fields."
Speaking of the lazy people in the village, the onlookers have something to talk about.
Then it was transferred from Sunshan's experimental fields to the lazy people in various villages.
In the end, I always thought that Mr. Sun was no different from a lazy man and was just as unsuccessful in farming.
After the first experimental field was harvested, Master Zhang was responsible for weighing and registering the crops. He also numbered the sacks and placed them aside separately to prevent them from being mixed up.
Then Sun Dali led the men to harvest the second experimental field, which was an ordinary cultivated rice field.
The man who was mowing rice felt much better when he saw the field.
Man A said, "Great guard, this field is a field. The field just now is not a field at all. It is worse than weeds."
Man B agreed again and again: "That's right, this field looks like it's been cultivated. The field just now looked like it was abandoned."
The men were busy harvesting rice, just like harvesting rice at home. They were especially happy when they saw the heavy grains.
Han Zibing wiped the sweat off his forehead and said happily, "The millet on Lord Sun's land is growing really well. Look, it's heavy and golden, and it's a bumper harvest."
Hanzi Ding said with a smile: "The weather is good this year. It rains when it should rain and it is sunny when it should be sunny. The weather is favorable and the crops grow well. My family and Lord Sun's family are the same. I guarantee that we can harvest more rice."
Sun Dali was supervising while listening to the men's idle chatter.
I thought to myself: When I mow the third field, you will be even more surprised and delighted.
Humph, even if their Lord Sun doesn’t farm, he’s better at it than those who do.
Their Lord Sun is omnipotent.
