MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 205 Vision and pattern

The couple finished eating the cake, paid the bill and led the horses towards the restaurant.

 When the carriage was set up in the restaurant and there was no one around, Liu Ji told Qin Yao what he found in the examination room.

“So, you must be on the list this time?” Qin Yao was a little surprised. Who is so generous?

But this is not something that a commoner like her can know. The key now is whether Liu Ji can get on the list in the re-examination.

 Actually, Liu Ji didn't dare to give a guarantee about the results before the list was released. He would only know when the list came out.

 “When will the results be released?” Qin Yao asked.

 This is fast. Liu Ji said: "After finishing the test today, the results will be released the day after tomorrow."

Qin Yao glanced at the busy restaurant lobby and said, "Then wait for another two days."

Liu Ji also means the same thing, so that he can save himself from having to run back and forth.

"Then the lady will stay here these days?" Liu Ji pointed to the carriage compartment, and wanted to persuade her to get a room so that he could enjoy it.

 Unfortunately, Qin Yao had no such intention, "The carriage is quite good."

Liu Ji had no choice but to put away her petty thoughts and instead asked about the magical book box she sold, "Madam, have you come up with a new money-making thing?"

Qin Yao glanced at him unhappily, "I told you that you don't need to worry about family matters. Anyway, you won't be short of food and clothing."

Liu Ji smiled flatteringly, "Why don't I care about you, madam? Are you lucky to be so busy? Why don't we go for an outing outside the city to relax a bit these two days?"

Qin Yao frowned, "You want to date me?"

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, what is the appointment for? But she subconsciously followed her and said, "Yes, I'll invite you for an outing."

Qin Yao snarled in disgust, "Get out!"

“Then where are you going?” Liu Ji not only refused to leave, but stuck to her when he saw her unloading the carriage.

He has no money now, and if he wants to live a good life, he can only hold on to the thigh in front of him.

Qin Yao asked the kitchen apprentice to look after the carriage for him, led the horse out of the back door of the restaurant, "Go to the outskirts of the city and have a look."

　　Liu Jiyi rejoiced, "Isn't this just an outing? It's a good time for all things to revive."

Qin Yao turned around and said coldly: "You don't know anything about the pests this year."

 Liu Ji asked blankly: "What kind of pest?"

Qin Yao raised her chin, and Liu Ji climbed onto the horse's back consciously and sat in front, holding the reins tightly with both hands, feeling a little excited and a little nervous.

The person behind him quickly turned over and sat firmly behind him.

 One hand knocked on his back: "Get down!" Blocking her sight.

"Oh." Liu Ji had already gotten used to it. He bent down obediently and hugged the horse's neck.

Qin Yao grabbed the horse's belly, and Lao Huang took the two of them and ran out of the city gate to Zhuangzi outside the city.

 Outside Kaiyang County, along the official road, there are fertile fields.

At this time, the wheat harvest has come to an end. At first glance, it is black and gray. This is the trace left after the tenant farmers burned the wheat straw.

 The horse slowed down, and Liu Jicai dared to raise his head.

 I was sitting in the carriage when I arrived, and I was preoccupied with the re-examination, so I really didn’t notice the situation of this year’s wheat harvest.

Looking at it now, even he who had little access to the land could tell that something was wrong, "Why are so many wheat straws burned?"

 Wouldn’t it be better to keep the fire at home?

He remembered that in previous years, the remaining stacks were burned to fertilize the fields, so that the plowing could be smoother during spring plowing. Qin Yao stood up and dismounted, and Liu Ji quickly slid off the horse and followed her to the nearest acre of wheat field.

Qin Yao squatted down and grabbed a handful of wheat straw that was not completely burned. The wheat ears were clearly distinguishable.

 In primitive farming methods, there were no insect repellent pesticides. The only way farmers could think of was to burn the infested land to kill the insects.

Even the ears were burned, which showed that there was almost no harvest of wheat in this acre of land, and it was also seriously infested by insects.

Liu Ji was shocked. Looking at the large black and gray wheat fields in front of him, they were all burned. Is it possible that no food was harvested from these wheat fields?

Because of the bumper harvest last autumn, the tenant farmers also wanted to cultivate their fields, but not all the land was planted with wheat. The gray and black colors were scattered throughout the farm. From a distance, it was not as scary as up close.

 But if there is no wheat production this season, it may be difficult for the tenant farmers to survive until the next autumn harvest.

Liu Ji suddenly remembered Old Man Liu’s previous worries and poked Qin Yao’s arm weakly, “Madam, you said there won’t be a locust plague this year, right?”

Qin Yao’s voice was firm: “We can’t do that here.”

The tenant farmers here in Kaiyang County dealt with the pests in a timely manner and in a more thorough way. They were willing to burn everything and the situation was under control.

Although there will be a small wave of famine in May and June, there should still be enough grain in Kaiyang County for disaster relief.

 The food crisis will be lifted after the autumn harvest in mid-to-late July.

 However, this kind of thing cannot always be completely predicted. Just because it is not serious locally does not mean that it is not serious in neighboring counties.

Qin Yao dusted off the ashes on her hands and stood up, saying to Liu Ji: "Thank you Princess Huiyang. If there is no marriage between the princess and the princess, if the war continues, the food reserves of Zijin Mansion will not be retained at all."

 Liu Ji responded habitually: "Yes, yes, yes."

But after answering, he couldn't help but mutter: "My classmates all said that only a weak country would agree to something as humiliating as a marriage."

Qin Yao’s brows that had just relaxed a little tightened for a moment, and she turned back to look at Liu Ji, “Do all your classmates say that?”

Liu Ji didn't know what her position was, so he quickly distanced himself, "They said that, I didn't say that."

After finishing speaking, he saw a sneer on her face, which was either contempt or something else, "It seems that you scholars have read your books into the dog's belly!"

Liu Ji said weakly: "Can you not use 'you'? I didn't say whether it was okay or not."

"If you didn't agree, you wouldn't have let me hear what you said just now." Qin Yao sneered coldly, "You guys, scholars, have such a small vision that shocks me."

Liu Ji was dissatisfied with what he said. He bowed his hands to Qin Yao and said in a strong tone: "Please give me some advice, ma'am!"

 He would like to hear how much vision and structure she has.

Qin Yao didn't want to talk to a waste like him at first, but then she thought about it. In the future, she would take the imperial examination and pursue an official career. It was necessary to cultivate his political sensitivity. She took a deep breath, suppressed her discomfort, gestured for him to hold the horse, and walked towards Walking towards the county seat, he said:

“If you were the person in Kyoto who had just ended decades of war and established a unified country, what do you think should be the next step?”

 Liu Ji did not answer, because his answer was to invite beauties from all over the world into the palace, live happily and enjoy the ultimate happiness in the world.

However, if he said this, he would definitely die today, so it was better to act like he was listening.

As soon as his eyes rolled, Qin Yao knew that he had no good intentions. She glanced at him and then continued:

“If you want to know what to do next, you must first think back to why the previous troubled times occurred.”

This idea sounded a bit fresh, and Liu Ji rarely used his brain to think about what happened in the past.

It’s a pity that this happened in recent years. The historian has not written it yet, and the teacher has not taught it. I don’t know where to think of it.
