Hearing what his father said, Xiao Xiong also felt that making money was too difficult. He sighed and bent over to find his younger brothers to play with.

The tiger head and the little lion liked the smell of green grass very much, so they kept crawling towards the outside of the mat, saying that they had to be in close contact with the green grass that just sprang up. Xiao An also liked green vegetables very much, and it was rare to have fun on the grass. , and also pulled a lot of small flowers to play with the two younger brothers who couldn't get out of the mat.

   is just grass, what's the fun in it? Last winter, he and his father went hunting in the mountains, and the little bear was not interested in sitting cross-legged on the mat and propping his chin up, trying to make money.

  The salary and monthly money of him and Xiaobao’s brother add up to a lot, but the expenses this year are also not small. The expenses of running a school are part of the expenses, and more expenses are due to the heavy snow last winter this year.

Not only was the snow buried here in Lingnan, but many people in the capital also froze to death. He and brother Xiaobao supported many children, and it cost a lot to buy clothes and repair houses. All the New Year's money was spent.

   Fan Zijin saw Xiaoxiong sighing, turned his head and said to Qi Haoran, "Are you really not afraid of teaching children badly by teaching them like this? We do things like disaster relief."

   "But they can also do good things within their ability," Qi Haoran said: "Big brother also said that since Xiaobao personally supported those children, he has become wiser a lot."

   "Women's benevolence is a taboo for the king." Fan Zijin said solemnly: "Xiao Xiong is just fine, Xiao Bao is not suitable."

"Benevolence is not a woman's kindness," Qi Haoran said confidently: "Not only Xiaobao, but also Xiaoxiong, I will not let him grow up like that. Our Qi family's world cannot end in one generation, and the descendants will have children. The upbringing is especially important. When did you see my eldest brother and I neglect the education of our two children because of political negligence? We will not let them grow crooked if we keep an eye on them. Now that they are still young, some things are not suitable for them to know. , but it’s not that they are kept out of contact all the time.”

Fan Zijin nodded slightly, seeing that the little bear was already lying on the mat and playing with the two children, he shook his head with laughter, "This kid really looks like you, he was so worried that his face was wrinkled just now, I thought he ate it all at noon today. I don't have dinner, who knows I'll be playing now."

   Qi Haoran said proudly: "Where can my son go?"

   Fan Zijin couldn't help kicking him when he saw his proud look, "Am I complimenting?"

   At this moment, Mu Yangling was standing in the field, he couldn't help kicking Zhuangtou and asked, "I don't recognize the seeds, are you going to fool me with these pickled things?"

  Zhuangtou knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "It's really just the seeds picked up from the grain store, and the little ones don't dare to fool them."

Mu Yangling was furious in his chest, squeezed the rice seeds he had dug up from the field, and threw them on his face, "The seeds of No. 1 dry rice grow like this? Aunt Ben personally planted that kind of seeds, dare to fool On my head, first look at how many lives you have!"

Zhuang Tou took off the seeds on his face and took a closer look, his face became paler and paler, and he kowtowed: "Niang Niang, this is not the seed of the No. 1 dry rice, but the one I picked up from the grain store is indeed the seed of the No. 1 dry rice, I really don't know why. It has changed."

   Mu Yangling squinted, if what Zhuang Tou said is true, then...

   Mu Yangling looked at the tenant kneeling at the back, paced up to him, and asked, "You planted this land?"

  The tenant shivered and said, "Yes, it's a small seed."

   "Then you also planted it last year?"

  The tenant should be "yes", "It's been three years since the small tenant."

   That is to say, since she came to Lingnan to rent out the land, he has rented her land, "What kind of rice seeds did you plant in the past two years?"

"I didn't plant rice for the first two years, because of the occasional drought in Lingnan, so I have been planting wheat and corn, because people in the same village said that Niangniang's No. 1 upland rice seed is good, drought tolerant, and relatively high yielding. This is how I was moved, I turned the ground early before winter, and I poured water in the spring and planned to grow rice."

   "So you don't recognize the seed of No. 1 Upland Rice?"

The tenant wiped his tears and nodded, "I really don't recognize the little one. This kind of seed was sent along with everyone. If you don't look carefully, no one will feel that there is a difference. When the weather gets warmer, the little one scatters the seeds. , the emergence rate is quite high, and the small ones are also very happy..."

   But who knew that the princess randomly picked his land, just dug up the seeds gently and said that the seeds were fake?

   Mu Yangling looked ugly and asked, "Who sent the seeds to you?"

  The tenant looked at Zhuangtou carefully, Zhuangtou took the initiative to say: "Hui Niangniang, the seeds were sent to them by Xiaoxiao himself, and even the seeds were supervised by Xiaoxiao himself. There can be no mistakes."

   "You're right, and the tenant is right, so tell me, what's going on with this kind of thing?"

   Zhuangtou's face was pale.

   Mu Yangling's face was solemn, and he said coldly, "Check it for me! Start with the grain shop."

  Mu Yangling walked in along the ridge, digging up almost every field to see the seeds, and the more she dug, the more ugly her face became.

   Not every piece of land has wrong seeds, but for every wrong piece of land, the tenant who rented it has never planted No. 1 upland rice. Obviously, the other party is also afraid that the tenant will find out.

Mu Yangling inspected twenty-eight fields all morning, and sweat was already on his forehead. Lichun wiped her sweat and said, "Niangniang, go back to rest first, and ask someone to dig it. You sit in the village and inspect it. ."

Mu Yangling threw away the seeds in his hand, washed his hands with the water in the field, looked at the shadow reflected in the water, and said, "Food is the lifeblood of farmers, last year was the last year of tax reduction and exemption for three years, this year all over the country All taxes are going to be collected, do you know what that means?"

Hearing Mu Yangling's words, Zhuangtou and the tenants behind him knelt on the ground one after another, and some tenants were already crying bitterly. More than a dozen men, all tenants of the palace, no one raised their heads at this time, just because of Mu Yangling's words, they felt that they were worth kneeling.

Farmers are the most reluctant to take risks. Even if the owner asks them to plant upland rice No. 1, they can not plant it without planting it. Because they have never planted it, they dare not. Fortunately, they have a choice, so many people choose to plant corn instead of upland rice one. No.

  It was not until two consecutive years that the No. 1 dry rice had performed very well, and they happily changed the land originally planted with wheat to rice seeds, but who knew that they would encounter fake seeds?

The seeds sown every year are carefully selected and left over from the previous year, or they go to the yamen to receive good grain seeds. Now they are planting this kind of seed that I don’t know the details of, and I don’t know how the harvest is resistant to insects and drought. not good……

   Everyone shuddered at the thought of starting to pay the grain tax this year.
