    The court meeting the next day was very short, because everyone knew that the most important thing that day was the Autumn Harvest Ceremony, not other things to talk about at the court meeting.

    Therefore, the court meeting ended in less than a quarter of an hour. Afterwards, all the ministers, led by Wen Renlian, went to the Imperial Manor to participate in the autumn harvest.

    Qiao Mu didn¡¯t go.

    Because it¡¯s not like she¡¯s never seen high-yielding grain seeds, and it¡¯s not like she¡¯s never hosted an autumn harvest ceremony.

    I have no interest in this kind of thing at all.

    Why go out and bask in the sun for a day?

    However, in the eyes of some literati, this means that the relationship between the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother is not good, and they are not willing to appear at the same time even for such an important autumn harvest ceremony. So several important ministers in the court looked at each other and nodded one after another, thinking that yesterday  The plan discussed all night has finally come to fruition.

    Maybe it will succeed.

    Of course, if there is a cause, there will be a cause.

    It was obviously not the right time to suddenly make such a suggestion, so they could only put their plans aside for the time being and honestly participate in the Autumn Harvest Ceremony.

    Although this Autumn Harvest Ceremony is very important, the specific process is still the same as in the past. They always have people say some words of gratitude to the heaven and earth and the emperor, and then announce the start.

    The only difference is that the candidates for harvesting are different. In the past, various crops in Huangzhuang were harvested by Huangzhuang's own farmers. However, this time Wenrenlian specially spent time to facilitate the promotion and planting of improved seeds in the second half of the year.  When the price reached twenty cents a day, thousands of ordinary farmers from around the capital were hired to participate.

    The purpose is to let them see the high yield of these grains. In this way, as long as they go back and publicize it a little, the promotion of new high-yield grains will go much more smoothly, at least in the area of ??the Imperial Capital.

    With this spread, high-yield grain seeds will be spread across the country in a few years.

    As the harvest was announced, the hired farmers were allowed to enter the field, and saw up close the ocean of rice swaying in the wind like golden waves. These farmers were all older, over thirty or forty years old.  Farmers who have been farming for at least ten years may not have other abilities, but they still have farming experience.

    Therefore, they only got closer and took a brief look, and they all opened their mouths in surprise, because they knew by looking at the golden ears of rice with the naked eye that the yield must be extremely high. Anyway, it must be far higher than what they grow themselves.  .

    The first reaction of several people was not to use a sickle to harvest. Instead, they held the heavy ears of rice with surprise on their faces, carefully groped for the grains on the ears, and estimated the yield per mu.

    Many times, even if some people don¡¯t understand arithmetic at all, as long as they have enough experience, they can still estimate the yield per mu of land by relying on hand measurements and years of experience.

    These old farmers are obviously such people.

    I just weighed the weight of a whole ear of rice, and then looked at the other ears of rice around me. I immediately understood that the rice yield in this field was at least double that of their family, and the yield per mu could be achieved no matter what.  Six or seven stone, or even as high as eight stone is possible.

    For a while, harvesting hasn¡¯t even started yet.

    An old farmer laughed loudly.

    Or crying and crying.

    Some people even want to secretly put a few ears of rice into their pockets and take them home to plant.

    Although the guards on the side saw it, they just stepped forward to stop it, and said that after the rice seeds were harvested and weighed, they would sell a batch to them at a low price.

    Of course, the reason why these guards were so gentle and explained was obviously because someone had told her that Wen Renlian had never forgotten to check the people's sentiments in the past few years, so she still had some understanding of the psychology of many people, so she  I had predicted in advance that there might be some old farmers who were worried that these grains would not be spread out, so they wanted to sneak some back to increase their own per-acre yield, so they had already notified the guards in advance.

    The guards have been informed in advance not to attack those farmers, just remind them.

    After that, it¡¯s time to collect.

    It¡¯s no joke that there is strength in numbers. With the cooperation of thousands of people, nearly 5,000 acres of land were harvested in less than an hour. At the same time, one acre of land was evened out, and that land was harvested.  All the rice grown on an acre of land is harvested and weighed directly.

    The weight of this kind of wet rice will definitely not be too accurate, but they can't wait here for a few days and wait for the wet rice to dry before weighing it, so they can do this firstAfter weighing, go back and estimate according to the normal weight ratio of wet and dry rice, and you can naturally get the approximate quantity smoothly.

    Although there may be some errors in the process.

    But this error is not too big.

    Soon, the person in charge of weighing reported the total output of one acre of land with a trembling voice:

    ¡°Mother, the yield per mu is more than nine and a half stones.

    If dried in the sun, it should weigh nearly eight stones, far exceeding the current average yield of three stones per mu.  "

    ¡°Great benevolence, please sell some of these rice to the people who come to harvest this time.

    Don¡¯t give too much to each person. Just give them enough seeds to plant an acre of land. The price is based on the normal seed price. By the way, you should also tell them about your planting experience, so that they won¡¯t be surprised if they can¡¯t plant so much later.  I'm here to fake it.  "

    When Wen Renlian heard this data, the corners of her mouth immediately rose involuntarily. She knew that as soon as the news spread, many of her future plans would be stable, so she was naturally very happy.

    At this time, all the officials also shouted "Thousand Years of Life" three times to show their dignity, and praised her holiness.

    Of course, ordinary people give more face.

    The bump on that end was very solid. If it hadn't hit the dirt, it would have been broken.

    After the harvest was completed, the rice yield per mu was determined, and a large number of rainbow farts were harvested, Wen Renlian quickly ended the autumn harvest ceremony and returned to the palace with relevant personnel. As for the remaining Imperial Village that had not yet been harvested,  , then Huangzhuang will naturally harvest it itself, and store all the harvested seeds, and then sell them in limited quantities to farmers around the imperial capital at market prices.

    To expand the scale of planting.

    The queen mother hugged the little emperor and left. Naturally, the ministers and the people who were hired to help would not stay here for a long time. The ministers all left quickly and went back to discuss some changes in the next plan, while the people were here  After each person was given an acre of grain, they held each of them as if they were treasures and quickly went home.

    In a short time, probably not long after lunch, the news that many high-yielding grain seeds were growing in Huangzhuang, and that there were high-yielding grain seeds for sale in Huangzhuang, had spread throughout the Imperial Capital and even around the Imperial Capital.  small village.

    Everybody is discussing this matter.

    It¡¯s very lively.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
