Early the next morning, Tang Shijin hurriedly came to see Wang Shenxing, and then hurriedly left.
The officials hadn't left yet, so of course they all noticed it and asked questions one after another.
Wang Shenxing said: "The Marquis dreamed last night that a bird with colorful feathers was holding grain in its mouth and wanted to go away. She stepped forward and snatched the ears of grain. The Marquis was uneasy and wanted to collect the grain in advance. I just agreed."
"
It's said to be ahead of schedule, but in fact it was supposed to be harvested, and other grains had already been harvested. It's just that the new grains were planted late, and it was rare to encounter such rare grains. Everyone was thinking about how long it would take.
Since the decision has been made to advance, of course the officials will not leave. Why is it so important to provide new grain in time for such a big event?
This was obviously a great achievement, and all the officials were stupid not to follow it.
Over there, Tang Shijin and Qi Yaoling had already hurried to the guardhouse.
After several rounds of fighting in the arena, and after the opening of Guoseyuan, Tang Shijin gave them "dividends". At this moment, Jin Yiwei was almost as good at it even if he didn't know how to use his fingers.
Tang Shijin directly ordered that a team of 100 people be formed to go to the places where they had been before, first find the old farmers who had recorded the planting situation before, and then go down to check the growth of the rice. At least 20 rice ears should be taken from one acre of land, weighed and recorded in detail...
…By the way, the other half of these people’s wages will be paid, and the rice will also be bought with money.
At the same time, Wang Shenxing's side also started to move.
I sent people to each county to inform them to start harvesting grain. Then there were people supervising every place. They weighed and estimated first, and then discussed the deed.
As for these officials, they only need to patrol around and show their concern.
Wang Shenxing's actions all took time.
So Tang Shijin's side had finished counting, and they had made arrangements over there. With an order, grain collection began everywhere.
The common people have been cultivating the land for so many years, but they have never seen such a grand and uniform harvest of grain.
But looking at this big ear of rice that I have never seen before, I feel that it is not too important to value it.
Yan Baiwei was not idle over there, and invited many literati to come and see such a prosperous scene... It was really a prosperous scene, with so many people working together, working in full swing, and everyone's face was smiling.
The scene is really touching when you look at it.
Tang Shijin, Qi Yaoling, and Jiang Bi'an were not with the officials, but they were also patrolling around. To be honest, she saw a lot of Jin Yiwei, who naturally helped the common people, which made her feel a little bit sore.
She couldn't help but feel a little proud, wondering if what they did was influenced by her leading the way when she went to the countryside?
She watched this scene quietly, Jiang Bian slowly turned back and glanced at her.
His eyelashes twitched, and he quickly turned his head to look where she was looking. After a while, he unknowingly turned back to look at her.
He often couldn't guess what she was thinking, but at this time, he felt that he knew.
Because at this time, her whole body looked particularly gentle, and her whole body was as gentle as covered with moonlight, which was completely different from her usual.
Qi Yaoling coughed.
Jiang Bi'an quickly lowered his eyes, then turned his head calmly.
Qi Yaoling said: "Master, go over and take a look."
Tang Shijin nodded.
She went over and took the records they collected, recording their experiences during the planting process, the weather conditions of the land, and the subsequent weighing.
In this era, we are not used to using samples and data to record things, so she is going to start with this.
They ran for a whole day and collected more than 400 records, including nearly 80,000 sample records of nearly 3,000 acres of land.
Tang Shijin selected a dozen accounting rooms, sorted out the records in her own way, wrote an extremely detailed research report, and then came to a conclusion.
Then she took it to Yan Baiwei to take a look at.
Even Yan Baiwei was shocked.
He looked at it carefully for a long time and sighed: "This method is really practical. If this method is implemented everywhere, what difficulty will there be for the superiors to know what is going on in the world without going out?"
Tang Shijin said matter-of-factly: "Not necessarily, the data can also be faked."
Yan Baiwei choked and raised his forehead.
Tang Shijin said: "So don't be sad and change it quickly. I will earn the dividends of daring to be the first in the world first!"
Yan Baiwei could only give her a pen to revise it, making it more suitable for this era, easier for people to understand, and at the same time, it would make people see clearly the hard work she had spent on it... Yes, she had spent a lot of time on it.
It's quite a lot, but it looks like there are at least ten times more.
After all, we will teach various places to grow new grains in the future, so this research report will not only be read by the emperor, but will also be circulated among the people.
While she was busy, she was also working non-stop outside to collect grain, weigh it, organize it, put it into warehouses...
It was at this time that the news of Empress Wu's death finally reached everyone's ears.
Because the commotion was so big at the time and so many people knew about it that they couldn't keep it secret, so the news everyone heard was quite complete.
At first hearing, everyone was shocked.
But except for Shen Jishi, who knew something about the inside story, no one really doubted that Tang Shijin got the news first.
After all, it’s too far away and even pigeons can’t fly over!
So, is it really a warning from God in a dream? So what does this dream mean?
After that, a few days passed before the imperial edict was issued. It simply stated that Empress Wu died of illness and that banquets, weddings, etc. were prohibited within twenty-seven days.
Tang Shijin was a little surprised.
She thought that Emperor Yuan Sheng, even if he was just pretending, would be banned for at least three months due to such a commotion, but she didn't expect that it would only be twenty-seven days.
In this way, the opening of the Garden will be almost unaffected.
It's almost time to finish taking care of things here. Now that we have this matter, let's take our time.
At this time, all the new grains have been harvested and the statistics have been completed. Not counting the old grains, only the new grains are counted. On average, the output is more than four times the original output!!
Of course, needless to say, Tang Shijin said that no one dared to report this amount just like that. After all, it was really carefully taken care of this time, and there might not be so much in the future.
So we all discussed it and only quoted three times more.
But even three times is still shocking!
Tang Shijin, as the deposed envoy of Jiangnan in charge of agricultural affairs, had her flame gunner write a memorial and attached her research report.
Then Wang Shenxing and Han Liuguang also wrote memorials respectively, and the three of them talked about it. Each of the three memorials had different emphasis, and they talked about each other. Tang Shijin also mentioned the role of Jin Yiwei.
Han Liuguang, who had just arrived, was best suited to blowing rainbow farts. His memorial was full of exclamations, and he spared no effort to impress Tang Shijin, Wang Shenxing, and other officials.
To prove it, several pictures of the prosperous times painted by literati were attached and quickly sent to the capital.
