Chapter 2866 Going to the Countryside (1)

Bai Shan: "...Who do you belong to?"

Man Bao said very casually: "I can accept anyone, as long as it is an individual."

Bai Shan looked at her speechlessly, and when she finished the book, he took her to dinner and said, "Your Majesty sent you out because I want you to find a way for the local medical office and the local county government to live in harmony and develop together. The person you want to take with you at this time is equivalent to your right and left hand in the future, and even this person will take your place, do you think this person can be casual?"

Man Bao frowned slightly, "I have taught all the students in the Imperial Physician's Office, and they are all the same here."

After thinking about it, she smiled and said: "At this time, Zheng Gu and the others have their own positions, and the Imperial Physician's Office will not let the four of us master and apprentice in the same place."

Isn't this a party? Who knows if it will be private?

So who does it matter?

Bai Shandao: "I thought you would have someone you like."

After thinking about it, Man Bao shook his head and said, "It's okay, the local medical office was just exploring, and everyone's ideas are different. There are so many students in the imperial medical office, and I can't understand what each of them thinks, since that's the case. It's better to follow the fate, no matter who comes, we can run in with each other and inspire each other."

When Bai Shan heard this, he thought it made sense, so he didn't care about her.

After the meal, Zhou Man sent a letter to Xiao Yuanzheng, and handed it to Bai Shan together with Zhezi. The uncle said like: "Give it out tomorrow."

Well, the post station is also under the management of the county government, unless the letter is secretly sent to the capital.

Bai Shan took it and put it on the table beside him. After rubbing his forehead, he went to bed and hugged her. The quilt was covered and he said, "Go to sleep, I have to go to the countryside tomorrow."

Going to the countryside is hard work. Generally, the county magistrates who are more conscientious will choose a few villages to visit every year, understand the people's conditions, and persuade them to teach the farmers.

The very conscientious county magistrate, just like Yang Heshu back then, traveled every inch of the land under his jurisdiction.

Bai Shan is planning to visit every village as much as possible, at least to know the grain and sowing situation.

However, unlike Yang Heshu, who liked to bring only one servant into the village, he not only rode a horse and brought a guard, but also brought Dong Xianwei and the yamen, with two carts of grain behind him.

Man Bao also brought western cakes and some commonly used medicinal materials with him.

Lieutenant Dong asked, "Where do you want to start from?"

Bai Shan said: "Let's look outside, go to Lizhuang first."

It was going to the southwest, and it took about two quarters of an hour to get there by trotting out of the city on horseback. Lieutenant Dong didn't expect him to go to such a close place first, so he nodded after a moment of stunnedness.

So everyone went to Lizhuang first.

Most of the people in Li Zhuang are surnamed Li, and they belong to a family.

The villages close to the city are developing better than other villages. Some people are already planting seeds in the villages. The crops supported by the imperial court every year are not provided by every household, nor can they cover a family’s food seeds for a whole year. .

Therefore, no one from a well-off family is really waiting for grain to be sown.

Bai Shan naturally knew this, so he only checked the population situation in the village, and then took people to the fields to watch people planting seeds, touched their seeds, and asked about last year's harvest.

Bai Shan grabbed a handful of seeds in his hand, pressed them one by one, turned his head and asked Zhou Man, "I remember that we have to wait for the seeds to sprout."

Man Bao nodded, "It will be released after two days of soaking."

Bai Shan asked the villagers curiously, "Aren't you soaking seeds here?"

The villager said: "I used to soak it before, and it was said that it was a method from the Central Plains, but after we soaked it, it grew older, and many buds were broken when we sprinkled it. It is better not to soak it."

Bai Shan pondered: "Soap your hair now... Last night was a bit sultry, so you can get up around the clock to soak your hair, and the morning of the third day should be about the same."

Sprouts should not be so long if you don't spend a day's work.

But the farmers face some reluctance.

Although most of their seeds are kept by themselves, it is very hard to keep them, and there is not much excess. If the soaking is bad, they have to go to the county to buy grain seeds, which is not cost-effective.

Bai Shan didn't force it when he saw it. He smiled and said, "You can choose two or three pounds to soak it and see the effect. This is how we breed in the south, and the annual rate of emergence is very high."

The county magistrate was not reluctant, but the farmers hesitated again, and couldn't help but ask, "Can adults also farm?"

No wonder they were so suspicious of Bai Shan, it was because he was too white, very different from the previous magistrate Lu who looked shrewd and black.

Bai Shan smiled and said: "I can't say that I am proficient, but I have been in the field since I was a child. Farming is just like reading. I can try a few more methods. I also know that farmers are not very adventurous, so they can only farm a few pieces of land each year. Try the new method given by the yamen, if the yield is high, it will be the best, and other places will be able to keep up next year;

When they were young, they were particularly interested in farming for a period of time, so they read a lot of agricultural books and miscellaneous notes, which recorded the methods of farming in various places, as well as all kinds of strange methods found by Zhou Man. Tried it on my own small farm.

Most of them succeeded, of course, there were also failures.

The people of Qili Village and Master Bai were used to watching them toss and toss, and their tossing and tossing all over the place had an effect. They followed closely the next year, and they said to them with a smile, "Eat a meal." The long one is wise."

Bai Shan believes that farmers all over the world need this kind of wisdom.

There were many villagers watching, and most of them were reluctant to go to the trouble, but some were willing to take the risk.

As Bai Shan said, take out three or four catties of grain and try it, even if this grain is discarded, it will not have a great impact.

Bai Shan was happy when he saw that someone was willing to listen, so he communicated with them and asked, "How do you solve fertilizers here?"

When Bai Shan was communicating with the villagers, Man Bao listened to Keke's words and dug some things in the fields and mountains. Most of the half-old children and girls in the village were with her.

Man Bao also specially called a few daughters-in-law in the village and asked them, "Do you take medicine by yourself when you are sick, or do you go to the city to see a doctor?"

"What kind of medicine do you take, just boil it for a while."

Man Bao asked, "What about the child, do you want to endure too?"

"Children are more difficult to endure. Usually, I will go to the town to find a doctor to get two medicines." The young daughter-in-law who spoke sighed: "Raising a child is the most afraid of fever. My child has had a fever twice this year, and every time I feel frightened. ."

She didn't know that Zhou Man was an imperial physician, so she looked at her and asked with a smile, "Did your wife have a child too? I think both the adults and the wife are people with excellent personalities, and the children they have must be easy to take care of, right?"
