Chapter 201 Sun Qian
On the outskirts of Xinyang Town, Shuyun and her people arranged the work in the villa, and then she and Shuqin began to check to make sure nothing was missed.
Along the way, the nearby villagers who worked on the estate knelt down to express their gratitude. If it weren't for Miss Shuyun and her group bringing them food for the winter and seeds for the spring, they would probably have starved to death.
Looking at these simple villagers, Shuyun was filled with emotion. She knew that these grains and seeds represented not only their hope for survival, but also their aspirations for the future.
Shuyun decided to stay on the estate a little longer to help the villagers plan their spring farming activities. She discussed planting plans with them and taught them new agricultural techniques. With Shuyun's help, the villagers were filled with confidence for the future.
However, Shuyun also knew that her efforts alone were far from enough. She decided to return to the city and appeal to more people to pay attention to these impoverished villagers and provide them with more help and support.
Although Shuyun couldn't understand some of the words her sister was saying, Sun Qian knew that his father was originally the Minister of Agriculture in charge of agriculture and sericulture. He was imprisoned for a crime and became a slave, but was later rescued by them.
Sun Qian was filled with gratitude towards Miss Shi. He knew that without their help, he and his father would likely have perished. He secretly vowed to repay this kindness in the future.
However, Sun Qian now faced a problem. His father's health was deteriorating, requiring expensive medication. Sun Qian tried everything to raise enough money, but to no avail.
Just when Sun Qian was feeling desperate, Miss Shi appeared again. After learning about Sun Qian's predicament, she offered her help without hesitation. She not only provided Sun Qian's father with the necessary medicine, but also helped them find a place to stay.
With Sister Shi's help, Sun Qian's father gradually recovered. Sun Qian finally had the opportunity to fulfill his vow, and he studied hard.
Later, after the New Year, Miss Shi recommended him to work as an official in the county government in charge of agriculture and sericulture. Although the position was small, he had fallen into disgrace due to his crimes.
Unexpectedly, he was able to return to officialdom and take up the hereditary position of agricultural scholar in his family. His parents were overjoyed when they found out. Moreover, they heard that Miss Shi had also established a free school, and at her invitation, his father also became a teacher there, educating and nurturing students.
Such a life was something they had never imagined. Their father, usually a very proper man, was secretly resentful upon hearing that his daughter was working in the county government. Though he didn't show it outwardly.
However, after seeing that both boys and girls could attend school, he also had the idea and sent his older sister and younger sister to school.
He also really enjoyed the knowledge taught at the school, which taught not only the Four Books and Five Classics, but also arithmetic and some other subjects he had never heard of before.
Because of the school, I heard that my father planned to compile agricultural knowledge and teach it to the students.
The father taught at the school for less than half a month, and his demeanor was quite different from his usual serious self. He directly entrusted the education of his eldest sister and youngest sister to the young lady, Shuyun.
The parents also wanted their eldest and youngest sisters to become women like Miss Shi. After all, a few days ago, Miss Shi announced that she would recommend learned men for official careers.
Shi Qing, a young girl, has now become the only female yamen runner in Xinyang County. Miss Shi takes her with her every day and teaches her how to handle official duties.
He also worked diligently. He always remembered Miss Shi's kindness and repaid her with his actions.
Magistrate Cui is about to be transferred to the position of prefect, Assistant Magistrate Wang will be promoted to prefect, and Miss Shi will be promoted to magistrate. This news spread quickly throughout Xinyang County, and the people were all happy for them.
Miss Shi, this young and capable female official, has always won the support and love of the people with her fairness, diligence, and kindness. During her tenure, she actively promoted various reforms, dedicated herself to improving people's livelihoods, and made significant contributions to the development of Xinyang.
Sun Qian and his team finally climbed the mountain. Sugarcane thrives in hot and rainy climates, requiring ample sunlight and heat.
Sugarcane originated in tropical regions and requires hot and rainy climates; heat conditions are crucial for sugarcane production. Sugarcane thrives in fertile soil, abundant sunshine, and large temperature differences between winter and summer, environments conducive to its growth and sugar accumulation.
He carefully examined the environment, taking in the knowledge that the girl had explained to him.
He felt that this mountain was perfect for growing sugarcane, which was what Miss Shi had mentioned. The mountain wasn't very high, the soil was soft, and the temperature was just right.
He carefully examined the wind direction and orientation, and had already made up his mind. He turned back to Shuyun and reported to her, "Shuyun, the environment and soil here are indeed suitable. We can arrange for people to start spring planting as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Miss Shuyun smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's excellent. Then I'll trouble you to make the arrangements." He nodded and turned to go out and assign people.
Before long, he led a group of people to the fields. Some of them carried hoes, while others carried seeds, and they began the spring planting work.
He was busy in the fields, directing people on how to sow seeds, fertilize, and water. His eyes were full of focus and seriousness, as if this was the most important thing in his life.
Under his direction, the work progressed very smoothly. Soon, the fields were filled with all sorts of crops. Looking at the fruits of his labor, he felt a great sense of accomplishment. These crops would be harvested in the autumn, bringing people the joy of a bountiful harvest.
He led several talented students, following the clues drawn by the girl, on a journey to find high-yield crops. Along the way, they traversed dense forests and crossed treacherous mountains, finally arriving at a remote valley.
In the valley, they discovered a plant they had never seen before, whose shape was remarkably similar to the high-yield crop depicted in the painting. He was thrilled and immediately led his students to begin studying and analyzing this plant.
After several days of hard work, they finally confirmed that this plant was the high-yield crop they had been searching for. He excitedly told his students, "This is a major discovery for us. We must promote this crop so that more people can benefit from it."
Upon returning to the village, he and his students began actively promoting this high-yield crop. They taught the villagers planting techniques and helped them cultivate the land to grow the crop.
Back at the village, Madam Sun was also answering questions from the villagers who came to inquire about the planting process. Madam Sun was very happy; she had never imagined that one day, in addition to being a wife and mother, she could also be a teacher.
