Li Zhoule and Li Yishu were anxious to know the result, so they took the first step, and the eldest brother of the Li family left a note for Han Nuo and asked him to buy pancakes and fruits for six people, and then followed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info his steps are big, and when he walked to the edge of the field, Li Yishu and Li Zhoule had just arrived, and Li Yishu was pulling Uncle Mancang to ask. The eldest brother of the Li family was just about to walk over, and Kochi County was so excited that he ran to his side with a red face, and even forgot to salute, and said directly to the eldest brother of the Li family: "General Li, the immortal seed is indeed the immortal seed." Two thousand catties, two thousand catties! ”

The eldest brother of the Li family understood, and after everyone harvested the sweet potatoes and found that their yield was not just a thousand catties but doubled, everyone went crazy. Two thousand catties of grain per acre of land! What is this concept? After paying taxes, the people eat the remaining grain three times a day, and they can't eat it all in a year! If all the peasants in the world were to grow sweet potatoes, there would be no more starvation, no more famine. Thinking of this, the villagers all cried. They thought of their relatives who starved to death in the year of famine.

The magistrate and Master Liu also had tears in their eyes, although they had never been starved, but they had seen the scene of starving to death, as parents and officials, they had seen a lot of scenes of starvation, and they had more insight than those high-ranking officials in the capital. It is not that there are no corrupt officials among the officials at the grassroots level, but in the past few years, the Great Zhou Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, and there was nothing to be greedy for if they wanted to be greedy, but on the contrary, those corrupt officials were made miserable by various natural disasters and the victims of the disaster, and the idea of corruption was extinguished, which made the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty rare in these years.

"Kochi Prefecture, calm, calm." The eldest brother of the Li family patted the shoulder of the county magistrate to comfort him. Two thousand pounds is a lot of yards? In modern times, there are tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes per mu. That is, the ancient peasants had no experience, and the yield obtained for the first time was half or even two-thirds less than that of modern times.

Lord Zhixian hurriedly took a few deep breaths, calmed down his emotions, and when he was normal, he arched his hand towards the eldest brother of the Li family: "General Li, I was rude before I got off the official." ”

The eldest brother of the Li family smiled: "It's okay, I understand your feelings." The grain yield of 2,000 catties per mu is indeed exciting. However, after the excitement of Kochi County, you still have to deal with serious matters, so hurry up and give the emperor an excerpt. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you General Li for reminding this officer." The magistrate gave his hand again, thanked and took his leave, "Then the official will leave." ”

The eldest brother of the Li family nodded, and the magistrate took his people and left with a thousand catties of sweet potatoes. The villagers said that it was very indifferent. Carry it, carry it, but the output of 1,000 catties and half an acre of land, we have food now, and we are not afraid of you carrying it.

The eldest brother of the Li family turned his gaze to the crying villagers, among them, the elderly villagers cried even more. They have experienced much more, and have even tasted the bitterness of starving to death, seeing their loved ones starving to death in front of them...... Suddenly, the third uncle got up from the ground and ran in one direction while crying, and the other clan elders were stunned at first, but then they understood and ran with the third uncle. Then there were the village chiefs, middle-aged men such as Uncle Man Cang, Uncle Man Jin, Uncle Guangdan, and Uncle Jiang, followed by the younger generation such as Gen Miao Bimu, and the women also followed them.

The eldest brother of the Li family found that the direction in which the villagers ran was where the ancestral hall was, and immediately understood, pulled Li Yishu and Wen Zixia and whispered a few words, and the two immediately went their separate ways: Li Yishu went home to get a flashlight, and Wen Zixia went home to write the so-called "ancestral message" according to the instructions of the eldest brother of the Li family. After the two things were in hand, the eldest brother of the Li family performed light skills and sneaked into the ancestral hall under the noses of the villagers without being discovered.

The clan elder and the village chief took their heads, and all the villagers knelt in the courtyard of the ancestral hall and kowtowed to the tablet of their ancestors, thanking them for the immortal seeds they had given, and thanking them for helping their children and grandchildren solve the problem of eating, so that the children and grandchildren would always say goodbye to panic. Everyone was in tears and excited, and in their hearts they deified the ancestors of Aoba Village.

Suddenly, I heard the figure of a young man crying out: "The ancestors have appeared again, and the ancestors have appeared again!" ”

Everyone hurriedly looked up in the direction of the young man's finger, only to see that the room on the side of the ancestral hall that had been closed for years suddenly lit up. The people of Aoba Village had seen this situation three times, so they hurriedly got up and rushed into the room together.

The boy who was born just now was Li Yishu, he followed everyone into the house, looked east and west, looking for his eldest brother, thinking of covering his eldest brother, but he didn't find out where his eldest brother was hiding. Just as he was wondering, a small rice struck him on the head. Li Yishu hurriedly looked up, only to see his eldest brother hiding on the beam, smiling at him, and then, when he turned around, he was gone. It's gone!!! Li Yishu's eyes are full of little stars, the eldest brother is so powerful! This movement, this speed, is lighter and faster than the cats of the mountain family!! It's worthy of being my big brother.

"Grain! There are a lot of grains!! The villagers cried out excitedly.

The village chief stepped forward and picked up a stack of white paper at the top of the sack, turned his head to look, didn't see Guan Rulin, remembered that he went to the provincial capital to participate in the township test, so he asked Wen Zixia to come over and stuffed the white paper into his hand: "Zixia, you come to read." ”

Wen Zixia was embarrassed, this ancestor's message was forged by him, and now let him read it...... It's a weird feeling.

“…… The rice is the same as the last time, carefully cared for, and the yield per mu can also be reached by 500 catties. We know that the rice you have just planted has been requisitioned by the magistrate of the county, and the seeds left are insufficient, so we specially give you and other 2,000 catties of rice seeds, and you and others will dispose of them at will. ”

“…… Another kind of grain is called potato, the planting method is similar to sweet potato, but it cannot be planted by cutting branches, and the yield per mu can also reach 1,000 catties. Potatoes are drought tolerant, planted in September and October, and harvested in February next year, without wasting land. ”

When the villagers heard this, they were all very happy, and another "immortal seed" with the same yield of 1,000 catties per mu can also be planted in winter, which is just, it's ...... The villagers were so excited that they didn't know how to describe their mood at the moment.

Wen Zixia held back his expression and read the taboo that potato sprouts will be poisonous to everyone. After hearing this, everyone said that it was not a problem. We don't eat sprouted potatoes, but when we plant them in the ground, we can still grow fresh potatoes.

"Our ancestors were so good to us!" The elderly villagers wiped their tears with emotion.

"There's new food to eat next year." The young villager grinned so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

The village chief took the villagers out of the ancestral hall, and the potatoes were still waiting to be planted, so he hurriedly harvested the sweet potatoes and vacated the land. The Li family and the Wen family retreated to the Li family, and Han Nuo had already sent them pancakes and fruits to drink fresh soy milk, and everyone was happy and satisfied while drinking the pancakes and fruits.

"Big brother, you are so powerful, you are more powerful than the cat of the Dashan family, you can go up and down the beam of the house freely, and you will disappear with my wrong eye."

"Yes, yes." Wen Ziyu nodded in agreement, full of admiration, "Brother Li is so powerful, if only I had such a great skill as you." ”

The eldest brother of the Li family raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to learn?" ”

"Yes!" The three small said loudly, of course, Wen Zijue was just making up the numbers, and he didn't know what to learn.

"Okay, then get up early tomorrow morning, and I'll teach you to practice martial arts." The eldest brother of the Li family glanced at Wen Zixia, "Zixia will learn with you." ”

Wen Zixia said "ah": "I don't need it, right?" I also have to prepare for the county trial. ”

"It is precisely because of the imperial examination that you have to practice martial arts. Practicing martial arts can strengthen your body and be good for your exams. Nine consecutive days of exams, coupled with the cold spring, without a good body, can not stand it. The eldest brother of the Li family said.

Wen Zixia thought of the fact that many candidates who were carried out of the examination room because of their poor health mentioned by Guan Rulin not only did not listen to the exam, but also gave away their lives, nodded and agreed to follow the Li family's eldest brother to learn martial arts.

Thousands of miles away in the capital, the emperor is worried about the total grain production after the autumn harvest. Although the imperial court made timely measures to deal with the drought, but the grain production was still reduced, the emperor was ready to open a private treasury to buy grain from Jiangnan and other countries in case of famine in the coming year, but his private treasury has been almost consumed over the years, at most he can only guarantee that he will sell grain this year, and if there is another natural disaster next year, he will have no money to buy grain. What will you do then?

"Your Majesty, Jingyang County has ordered an excerpt." Holding an excerpt, Hube Shangshu excitedly entered the palace to see the emperor. Originally, the excerpt on the Qipin County Order in a small place could not reach the heavens, but the content on the excerpt was really appalling and ecstatic, and the Hubu Shangshu personally held the excerpt to see the emperor.

"Jingyang County?" The emperor thought for a moment, "I remember, the last time the waterwheel and the hand-pressed well were presented by the Jingyang County Order, and they were invented by a villager called Aoba Village. ”

Tobe Shangshu nodded again and again: "This time there is a new move in Qingye Village, Jingyang County has ordered the rice collected from Qingye Village and an immortal seed called sweet potato. The yield per mu of rice is four stones, and the yield of sweet potato is two thousand catties. ”

"What?" The Emperor was taken aback, "Hurry up and fold it to me." ”

The book of the household department was immediately presented and walked, and the emperor looked through it. After a while, he frowned and asked, "Zixian, do you say that this Aoba Village ancestor manifestation is true or false?" ”

Tobe Shangshu lowered his eyes and replied: "Whether it is true or not, but the thing is true." ”

Emperor: "Bring it up and I'll take a look." ”

Guan Dezhu went out when he heard this, and after a while, he took two little eunuchs and entered the door with the ears of rice and sweet potatoes brought by the Hubu Shangshu. Looking at the heavy and full rice, the emperor believed that it could produce four stones per mu without any falsehood. You must know that the best ears of rice he had ever seen before could not be compared to the ears of rice in front of him.

"Sure enough. A special person is responsible for this matter and promotes this kind of rice to the world. "The emperor put down the paddy and ordered.

"Yes." The head of the household immediately agreed.

The emperor's gaze fell on the sweet potato, looking at the purple and red skin of the sweet potato, the emperor was quite skeptical: "Can this thing be eaten?" (To be continued.) )
