The group returned to Ningyuan County the next day.
Along the official road, you can see people working hard on the loess land.
The rice in Ningyuan County matures several days earlier than in Nanning County. The late rice has been harvested now, and everyone is rushing to plant winter wheat.
The sun sets in the west, dragging the busy shadows in the fields long.
Within three years, more than 70% of the people in Nalan Kingdom will no longer go hungry.
The remaining 30% are those very poor people, so poor that their families don't even have a piece of low-grade farmland.
Nalan Jinnian raised his lips slightly and glanced at the girl who was leaning against him again and fell asleep: This is all the result of his girl!
As the carriage drove down the official road, Nuan Nuan woke up.
"Are you here?" Nuan Nuan stretched.
Habits became natural, and Wen Nuan was used to sleeping on his shoulder in the carriage, and he no longer felt awkward.
"Well, we've arrived at the end of the village."
As the carriage passed the old house, Nuan Nuan heard a burst of laughter.
This kind of situation only happens when Dafang and his family return to the village.
Nuan Nuan lifted the curtain and took a look.
Sure enough, he saw Wen Yu's proud face.
She thought for a moment that Qiu Wei was coming soon, no wonder they were willing to come back.
The courtyard door was not closed, and Wen Yu also saw Nuan Nuan's carriage passing by.
She pursed her lips: I really hope that the God of Plague family can get more credit!
My sister is now pregnant with the emperor’s great-grandson, who will be the next emperor of Nalan Kingdom!
No matter how many achievements their family made, they were only doing work for her aunt and nephew, ha~
In the future she will be the emperor's aunt.
The carriage passed by in a flash, and Wen Nuan didn't take this family seriously.
If you don't do it, you will die!
Soon we returned to the end of the village.
At this time, the end of the village was no longer as deserted as it was a year ago. High courtyard walls had been built on that wasteland, and several courtyards had been built inside.
It is expected to be completed next year.
Now the end of the village has become the most prosperous place in the whole village, and the bluestone road is paved all the way from the end of the village to the entrance of the village.
The carriage entered the house.
When Wen Wen saw them coming back, she couldn't help but said, "I'm finally willing to come back! I'm so happy that I miss Shu!"
Wen Nuan smiled: "Where are my parents and grandma?"
"The rice is drying today, and they all went to the drying field to report the yield of this year's late rice. This year's rice is growing really well."
After hearing this, Nuan Nuan said: "I'll go take a look too."
"Weigh the output? I'll go take a look too!"
Nalan Jinnian and Wen Nuan walked to the grain drying field.
The eighth princess followed very consciously.
Before the two of them got close, they heard a shout!
"One thousand three hundred and twenty-eight catties! The yield per mu is one thousand three hundred and twenty-eight catties!"
The whole village was excited: "Oh my God! One thousand, three hundred and twenty-eight kilograms! My family only harvested three hundred and twenty-eight kilograms of late rice last year! That's a whole thousand kilograms more!"
"Haha, you don't have to worry about starving to death this time, you're so full! This year, my family harvested 1,190 kilograms from one acre of land! Haha..."
"I never dreamed that there would be a day where I wouldn't have to worry about going hungry! The yield per acre is thousands of pounds, and I finally have hope for this day! There is hope... "
... ..
Some villagers laughed loudly until tears came out of their eyes.
Some were kneeling on the ground, holding a sack of rice and crying with joy.
Some were so happy that they picked up their children and spun them around.
Some looked up at the sky and forced back tears,
I smiled secretly and wiped my tears, but more and more tears flowed...
The eighth princess was deeply touched by this scene, and her eyes turned red.
"The wishes of ordinary people are actually very simple. They just want to have enough to eat."
And since she was a child, she was well clothed and well fed, and she never worried about going hungry. What worried her every day was that she was bored in the palace and wanted to play in the palace.
The eighth princess felt that she was a princess and respected by all people, but she had never done anything for the people, so she was a bit unworthy of being a princess.
But, what should she do
Nuan Nuan didn't know what she was thinking and nodded: "Yes!"
The common people's wish is really very simple. They just want to have a roof over their head and to have enough food and clothing!
—
After dinner, Nalan Jinnian was about to leave when he suddenly thought of the old hen that replenished his body.
It's not suitable to stew it for that little girl now. It should be supplemented in a few years.
Nalan Jinnian told Lei Lei: "Take good care of yourself. If you lose a hair, I will have your hair plucked out!"
Thunder: "..."
So, he is here to raise chickens? !
He finally understood why Senior Brother Lin Feng saw him looking like he was out of trouble!
—
The memorial for the rice yield of 1,000 kilograms per acre has been submitted and is just waiting for the emperor's reward.
Next, the Nuan family entered a relatively tense state.
Wen Chun and Wen Hou attended Qiu Wei.
The examination venue is set in the county seat.
Nuan Nuan went to live in the county town and cheered for the two brothers.
Make something delicious by the way so that their bodies can cope with such a heavy exam.
The imperial examination in Nalan Kingdom has been reformed. It is no longer like the previous emperor's method. The child examination is divided into county examination in February and government examination in April.
Now, except for the palace examination, which is scheduled for the spring of the coming year, the children's examination and the provincial examination are both in the autumn.
Children's examinations are held every year.
The provincial examination is held every three years in September, and the results are released in October. At that time, the Zhengzheng osmanthus is in full bloom, and those who are successful are also called golden toads.
This year is the major imperial examination held every three years, and any test can be taken.
In other words, students who did not pass the Tongsheng test last year can take the test again this year. If your body can withstand it and you pass the test, you can continue to take the test.
However, most students would not choose to continue taking exams like this.
Because the body cannot bear it, and it is easy to fail the exam.
Therefore, many students will take the children's examination in the first two years, and then take the college examination and the provincial examination in one or two years after passing the examination.
There were three children's examinations, one every three days, and Nuan Nuan went to Gongyuan to pick up the two brothers.
She saw many students coming out with blue faces and pale lips.
Only Wen Chun and Wen Hou were in high spirits, and that was because they ate healthy vegetables every day.
Also because of the effects of health-preserving vegetables, restaurants are so busy these days!
Wen Nuan added 400 healthy dishes every day and they were all sold out.
That business is envied by so many people!
Half a month has passed, and the day of releasing the results has arrived.
Wen Chun ranks first, gentleness ranks second.
This result shocked all Lushan Academy students who participated in the children's examination together.
"Didn't it mean that because the family was poor, they were favored by the mountain leader in the spring and helped them go to school. And because of the relationship with the mountain leader, they took the advanced class?"
"Who said that Lushan Academy would break the undefeated record in the children's examination this year?! This simply broke the record of being admitted to the children's school with a first or second place in the shortest time of admission!"
…
The two brothers tried three times and got three first places and three second places respectively!
This makes it difficult for people who passed the exam for ten years to survive!
Nalan Jinnian was very satisfied with this result.
After the children's examination, the two rushed to Fucheng to participate in the next rural examination.
Naturally, Nuan Nuan followed him to Fucheng.
After five days of rest in Fucheng, the provincial examination began.
Gongyuan is not far from Yujin Street.
The two brothers simply walked over by themselves.
The two of them came to the gate of Gongyuan, lined up for inspection, and entered the examination room.
Not far outside the Gongyuan, Wen Liang got off the carriage.
Wen Jiafu, Xiao Zhu, Guo Qianni, Wen Yu, Wen Baozhen, and Mr. Wen all gave him careful instructions.
Mr. Wen was especially excited: "Take the exam well and you will surely win the Golden Toad!"
Wen Dian nodded.
When Wen Yu saw Wen Chun and Wen Hou waiting in line, she was surprised and said, "Brother, have Wen Chun and Wen Hou been admitted to Tongsheng?"
After hearing this, Mr. Wen looked over in surprise: "Brother Chun, how long have they been in school? And they passed the exam now?"
Mr. Wen was very happy, his grandson was really a good person!
