The landmark event of the Decline of the Jia family is that the rice eaten by Jia Mu began to be quantified, proving the reality that the Jia family is overstretched and the inner pocket is empty. The Jia family's hereditary titles will decrease, and the farms will also decrease. However, there are still seven or eight farms in Ningguo Province, and the title of Rongguo Mansion is of the highest rank, and at least more than ten farms are left. Wu Jinxiao just managed a farmstead and contributed so much material. A dozen farms are less than tens of thousands of acres of land, why not plant enough rice for Jia Mu to eat? There is also a reason behind this.
(Seventy-fifth time) Jia Mu looked at the negative hand for fun. Seeing that the person who was waiting for the rice was holding a bowl of rice from the next person, You Shi was still eating white japonica rice, and Jia Mu asked, "Why did you faint, and bring this rice to your grandmother." The man said, "The old lady has finished her meal." There was a girl added today, so it was shorter. The Mandarin Duck said, "Now we can all wear hats on our heads, and we can't have any surplus." Madame Wang hurriedly replied: "In the past two years, the drought and floods have been uncertain, and the rice on the field cannot be handed over according to the number." These fine rice are more difficult, so they can eat as much as they want, and I am afraid that it will be short for a while, and it will not be easy to buy. Jia Mu smiled and said, "This is exactly 'Qiao Daughter-in-law can't make porridge without rice'." The crowd laughed.
Jia Mu eats quite extravagantly every day, and it is difficult to say what the old lady wants to eat, so there are porridge and rice, as well as staple snacks. The "red japonica rice porridge" that Jia Mu ate was a kind of fine fine rice, and Jia Mu ate half a bowl of porridge, and the rest was given to Wang Xifeng.
You Shi is the grandmother of Ning Province, and it is said that jia mu's meal should be eaten, but because Tan Chun and Bao Qin have no food, You Shi can only eat "white japonica rice". White japonica rice should be eaten by big men like Mandarin ducks, and finally Jia Tanchun's rice was taken for You's food.
The rice that Jia Mu eats must be the best, and it is also a "special offering" for the masters of the Jia family. Madame Wang's explanation for Jia Mu's "quantification" of rice was that "drought and flood were uneven", so that the farm could not be handed in by number. And the outside is not easy to buy, so it will be rationed. That is, the Mandarin duck said that "you can wear your head to make a hat", which means that you can't be surplus.
Regarding the lack of red japonica rice, among the many grain rice provided by Wujin Xiaojin, there are several kinds of "fine rice", including detailed records of red japonica rice.
(Fifty-third time) Oda rouge rice two stones, bi glutinous fifty hu, white glutinous fifty hu, powder japonica fifty hu, variegated sorghum valley 50 hu, under the use of constant rice 1,000 stones ...
Not to mention the use of regular rice, other kinds of rice are masters can use "fine rice". Wujin Xiaoguan's farm was given a total of 202 hu (stone), and one stone was equivalent to one hundred catties, that is, 20,000 catties. There are more than a dozen Jia family farms, and the amount is very large, enough for the Jia family to eat. Why should Jia Mu's rice be rationed? The reason is that the production of "red japonica rice" is too small, and the "Oda Rouge Rice" is only two stones, that is, 200 catties.
On the 42nd occasion, Wang Xifeng, the prince of Ping'er, gave Liu Grandma two buckets of Oda Rouge Rice: "Now this one contains two buckets of Oda Japonica rice, and boiling porridge is rare." ”
Fat Yan Zhai [Gengchen Double Line Sandwich Criticism: In the garden miscellaneous characters once said this. 】。 The so-called "Magazine in the Garden" was written by Liu Tingjie, a person during the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. Liu Tingjie,100,000,served as the cabinet secretary, the prefect of Zhejiang, and the deputy envoy of Zhejiang Observation. The Magazine in the Garden is a collection of his essays. It contains the inscription "Mita Rouge Rice":
"There are several paddy fields in Fortress Garden, and the buddata grain species have been unveiled since September. One day, the parade was strange. In late June, the grain seed Fang Ying, suddenly saw a family, high above the rice, has been solid, because of the collection of its seeds, to be tested in the next year to see if it matures early. In June of the next year, this fruit ripens first. After that, I was born endlessly, and I took thousands of years. For more than forty years, the internal food has been entered, and this rice is also. It is beige reddish and long-grained, fragrant and flavorful
The "Oda Rouge Rice" that Jia Mu ate was the "Oda Japonica Rice" that Mandarin Duck gave to Grandma Liu, which is also known as "Red Japonica Rice". The yield of this rice is only a few tenths of that of other meters. It can be seen that the requirements for rice fields are high, the yield is low, and it is not possible to cultivate large areas. So that if there is a drought or flood, there will be a shortage of food.
The problem also lies in the fact that the grain and rice handed over by Wu Jinxiao, the stewards of these farms, are simply not enough. Jia Zhen calculated that he had at least five thousand taels of silver, but he only gave two thousand five hundred taels. That's half as much. He complained about natural disasters, but in fact, they were all nonsense to deceive Jia Zhen, who did not understand agricultural affairs and had no supervision.
(Fifty-third time) Wu Jinxiao said, "This place of grandpa is still good!" My brother was only a hundred miles away from me, and who knows how bad it was. He was now in charge of eight plots of land in that mansion, several times more than on his side, and this year there were only these things, but there were only two or three thousand taels of silver, and there was also famine. ”
Rong Guofu was Wu Jinxiao's brother who managed eight farms, several times more than him, and the result was only two or three thousand silver, and the amount of yutian rouge rice handed over had to be reduced equally, which was naturally not enough.
Madame Wang's explanation of "drought and flood uncertainty" is also the words of Wu Jinxiao, specifically, Zhou Rui, who manages the farmstead, does not tell her the truth, and she does not understand at all. The Jia family hid these giant rats of Wu Jinxiao, and they were full of private pockets in the pit and abduction!
