Chapter 129 Zhang Kan
The wheat fields have turned yellow, presenting a scene of a good harvest.
The first few plots of land to be harvested must have the best soil fertility and sunlight exposure. Father Yun was willing to give those plots to her to work on, which was definitely a touching father-daughter relationship.
"father."
As soon as Yun Xi got off the carriage, she saw Yun Zhen waiting on the side and ran over immediately.
Mu Sheng and Mu Xuan also brought Mu Jinyan forward to pay their respects.
Father Yun smiled and agreed, then scolded Yun Xi, "The farm is so chaotic, why did you bring the child here?"
"The weather is nice, take him out to play, he's very well behaved."
Yun Zhen smiled and said, "Then take good care of her."
His daughter is still young and inexperienced, and doesn't understand many things. When dealing with a stepson, safety is the first priority. If he brings her to the manor and gets hurt, who will be held responsible?
"Don't worry, Dad. There are so many people here. And Ah Yan has started to practice martial arts. He is very stable in the pony stance."
She understood Yun's concerns. To some extent, she might not have been able to fit in the role of stepmother very well. She saw Mu Jinyan more as a playmate, a smart, sensible, good-looking, and well-behaved child. It was inevitable that she would like him more.
"Wow! You're really amazing to have started learning at such a young age!"
Father Yun also praised Mu Jinyan. The child showed a reserved smile and said softly, "Thank you, Grandpa Yun, for the compliment."
Yun Xi taught him to call him Grandpa Yun. Logically, he should follow suit and call him Grandpa. But Yun Xi was not his biological mother, so she felt it was awkward for him to call him Grandpa. It would be better for him to just call him Grandpa according to his age and seniority.
The child is really well behaved. Yun Zhen's smile became more sincere. Yes, in addition to being his daughter's stepson, this child is also the old general's grandson.
It is said that "Respect the old and the young, not only your own but also those of others." Although it is unlikely for people to really do so, it is human instinct to love young children.
"Come in and rest for a while. The child must be tired after riding in the carriage all the way. Rest for a while before you go back and look at your things."
"Okay, Dad, not only is the child tired, I'm tired too. I'm almost falling apart after all this bumpy ride."
"Then why are you here? I asked Aunt Wang to find you just to tell you that we are going to start sowing and to tell you about the progress. I didn't want you to come."
Yun Xi: "...Huh? I thought you wanted me to come over!"
"Why are you here? You can't help!"
"I can give orders. If nothing else, the rice planting needs my orders."
Father Yun was speechless: "You are just guessing, what are you commanding? Do you really think you are an expert?"
Yun Xi: "..."
She remembered that last time her father asked her whether Hu Shang had told her how to plant these seeds, and she said that she had figured it out on her own.
The boomerang stabbed himself.
"Well, even if I gave the wrong instructions and the result was not good, I have nothing to say, it's all my business. But if you act on your own without my instructions and the result is not good, then I will quarrel with you."
Yun Zhen thought about it and felt that it made some sense.
"Okay, then you take charge. We are just following orders, and we won't be responsible if things go wrong."
After resting for a while, Mu Xuan couldn't sit still anymore. He was extremely curious about the new crops and urged, "Sister-in-law, let's go take a look first. We can come back and rest after we're done."
"Walk."
Yun Xi also wanted to see what the seedlings grown by Da Zhuang were like.
Maybe the seeds provided by Yunxi are good, or maybe Dazhuang really has a talent for farming, the rice seedlings are so green and full of vitality.
Mu Xuan said: "I know a man who used to live in Shu County. Later he traveled around and came to Kyoto. He once told me that in Shu County, the staple food is rice. Is that right?"
Yun Xi nodded: "That should be it. That Hu Shang told me that this should be planted in paddy fields."
“Can we grow rice here?”
"It works, let's give it a try. Anyway, I have already prepared the paddy fields."
Of course they can grow rice. The Great Northern Wilderness can be turned into the Great Northern Granary, so what's wrong with growing some rice in their central region?
The system interrupted and said, "Host, in your world, the first person to bring rice from the south to the north for cultivation was Zhang Kan, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the grandfather of the astronomer Zhang Heng. Zhang Kan was originally the governor of Shu County, and was later transferred to Yuyang County, which was later the northern suburbs of the capital. He brought the technology of growing rice with him."
Yun Xi: "Why isn't there a Zhang Kan in this world? If there was such a person, we wouldn't have any chance of survival!"
"Yes, at least the rice variety of the host is much better than the current rice varieties, and it is also much better than the famous Champa rice."
Yun Xi: "Then I am still a little relieved."
"In fact, there is rice in the palace. It was tributed from the south, but the quantity is not large. The transportation is not well developed now, so it is not convenient to transport goods between the north and the south. Also, the eating habits are different. People in the north are used to eating wheat."
"Yang Guang dug the Grand Canal for the transportation of goods between the north and the south, but ended up destroying himself."
system:"……"
Yun Xi did not plan to demonstrate the rice planting herself, and her father would not agree to it for her own sake.
So, she had to create a simulation scene and demonstrated how to plant rice. In order to be able to farm better, she learned it on the spot from the system space.
