"Yang Gong, you ...... How did you get back? Li Xiu saw Yang Nong standing there smiling, and he couldn't help but step forward quickly in shock, and even he wondered if he was dreaming?

"Hehe, I've been resting for too long, and I heard that the locusts have flown away, and I can't worry about the situation in the field, so I'll take a look!" Yang Nong smiled again at this time, his whole person looked much thinner than before, but his spirit was good, and he couldn't see that he was seriously ill and dying before.

"This ...... Yang Gong, you just woke up, why don't you go back and rest first, I'll just watch it in the Ministry of Agriculture! Li Xiu still didn't feel at ease when he heard this, he always felt that Yang Nong was very abnormal today, after all, even if a miracle happened, but this miracle was too unacceptable.

"Haha~, I knew that I was sick and I could let you take over the Ministry of Agriculture for me, I should have pretended to be sick earlier, but don't worry, I just came to see the situation after the locusts flew away, and then I would go back to rest!" Yang Nong smiled again at this time, and he didn't need Yang Dui's support at the moment, so he turned around and came to the field.

"What's the matter, your uncle has just woken up, why did he come here, why don't you persuade you, who is a nephew?" Li Xiu watched Yang Nong leave, and then asked Yang Dui in a low voice, he was really afraid that something would happen to Yang Nong's body again.

"I'm ...... I was wronged, today my uncle suddenly came to his senses, and drank two bowls of porridge, and then insisted on coming to the yamen to see, no matter how much I persuaded my uncle, I could only accompany my uncle to come! Yang Dui defended with a wry smile at this time, he was also very embarrassed to be a junior.

"Forget it, let's hurry up and keep up, and then persuade Yang Gong to go back no matter what!" Li Xiu saw that Yang Nong was about to go away at this time, and hurriedly followed Yang Dui at the moment.

I saw Yang Nong walking in the field and watching, the locusts left, but the crops in the field were eaten fine, and even a weed could not be found, coupled with the hot and dry weather, the soil was also white and cracked, it can be said that it is a thousand miles of red land, and it is a very luxurious thing to find some green.

Yang Nong kept his head down as if he was looking for something, Li Xiu and Yang Dui also followed him at this time, following him left and right, afraid that he would accidentally fall, but Yang Nong didn't even raise his head, and after a while, he suddenly saw his eyes light up, and then walked forward a few steps quickly, and then fell to his knees all of a sudden, which made Li Xiu and Yang Dui also startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"No, look!" However, Yang Nong stopped Li Xiu and Yang Dui at this time, and then pointed to the ground with a happy face and said loudly.

"Huh? How did it germinate so quickly? Li Xiu followed Yang Nong's finger and looked at it, only to see that on the arid ground, a tenacious sprout was drilled, which was newly sprouted from the sweet potato tuber root remaining in the ground.

"Hehe, being able to see the sweet potatoes sprout again, this shows that our previous advice to His Majesty is completely correct, and now I can finally rest assured!" Yang Nong also showed a relieved smile at this time and stood up and said, it was he who suggested to Li Shimin that sweet potatoes should be planted before the locust plague came, although this matter is theoretically feasible, but until the sweet potatoes sprout again, it can be regarded as a real proof that sweet potatoes can resist the locust plague.

"It turns out that Yang Gong, you are worried about this matter!" Hearing this, Li Xiu finally understood what Yang Nong was thinking, and then he was also relieved, and immediately suggested again, "Yang Gong, since we have confirmed that sweet potatoes can sprout again, let's go back and rest, after all, this sun is too poisonous!" ”

"Alright, let's go back!" Yang Nong finally stood up at this time, and then strode back with a smile on his face, seeing that his spirit was so good, Li Xiu and Yang Dui glanced at each other, and their expressions finally relaxed a little.

When Yang Nong got out of the farmland, Li Xiu wanted to send him back to the house to rest immediately, but Yang Nong wanted to go to the Ministry of Agriculture again, no matter how Li Xiu persuaded him, it was useless, in desperation, Li Xiu could only accompany him back to the Ministry of Agriculture, this official office of the Ministry of Agriculture was built by Yang Nong personally under the command of craftsmen, and the officials in the Ministry of Agriculture were also recruited by him one by one, and he was also the first chief official of the Ministry of Agriculture, so his feelings for this place were also extremely deep.

I saw Yang Nong go around in the entire Ministry of Agriculture, and many officials in the Ministry of Agriculture also showed shocked expressions when they saw him, and then saluted him one after another, and many people were worried about Yang Nong's body, and finally put down what they were doing and followed Yang Nong closely.

In the end, Yang Nong returned to his office room, he was not there these days, Li Xiu also had his own special room, so his room remained the same, Yang Nong walked in, naturally sat behind his bookcase, and then stroked the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and his face also showed a bit of nostalgia, in the past few years, he was sitting here to deal with the official affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture, which made corn and sweet potatoes These high-yield crops can be promoted smoothly.

"Donkey, the Ministry of Agriculture has been established for several years, at the beginning the amount of corn and sweet potatoes was very small, we are like protecting children, carefully taking care of the growth of these two crops, accumulating seeds and seedlings year after year, think about that time, it is really not easy!" Yang Nong suddenly said at this time.

Hearing these words, Li Xiu couldn't help but think of the original situation, and even he thought of his ecstatic mood when the bearded guest just handed over these two crops to him, which made him say with some emotion: "Yes, at the beginning, the emperor agreed to establish the Ministry of Agriculture, which is responsible for the breeding and promotion of corn and sweet potatoes, and several years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the promotion of corn and sweet potatoes has finally laid a solid foundation." ”

"When I found out that there may be a locust plague last year, I felt that this was a good opportunity to promote sweet potatoes, which also received the strong support of His Majesty, this year almost a lot of sweet potatoes have been planted in all parts of Guanzhong, and with the impact of this locust plague, I am afraid that more people will be willing to plant sweet potatoes next year, after all, this is a life-saving thing, and Guanzhong is the heart of the world, as long as Guanzhong is willing to plant, it will not take a few years, and the whole world is scrambling to plant sweet potatoes!"

When he said this, Yang Nong seemed to be a little tired, and took a few breaths at the moment, and then continued to speak: "There is no difficulty in the promotion of sweet potatoes, what is needed is time, but in contrast, corn is only planted in Xinzhu and Qingtian counties, and it will take a period of effort to promote it in the future, which is also the direction of our Ministry of Agriculture in the future." ”

"Yang Gong said very much, compared with sweet potatoes, the promotion of corn is indeed a little slow, but the yield of corn is also obvious to all, although not as good as sweet potatoes, but higher than wheat and rice, and corn is also easier to store than sweet potatoes, I believe that it will be slowly promoted in the future!" Li Xiu also nodded when he heard this.

"I don't doubt this, and with the promotion of sweet potatoes, I think we can build momentum for corn, after all, corn and sweet potatoes are from the distant Americas, and people can accept sweet potatoes, and it will be easier to accept corn in the future!" Yang Nong admonished again.

"Uncle, don't worry, leave these little things to us, let's go back and rest!" At this time, Yang Dui suddenly spoke, because he heard that Yang Nong's words were a little wrong, and it seemed to have a bit of a meaning of confessing his last words.

"I have to explain these things clearly, otherwise I can't feel at ease, in addition to promoting corn, you also have to be more careful, don't wait until corn and sweet potatoes are promoted, our Ministry of Agriculture has nothing to do, this is absolutely not good, in fact, our Ministry of Agriculture can also do some other agriculture-related things, such as the cabbage that the horse made before, and the greenhouse, etc., are all things that benefit the country and the people, you can learn more from the horse......"

Yang Nong didn't listen to Yang Dui's persuasion at all, but chattered about the future ideas of the Ministry of Agriculture again, Li Xiu also felt something wrong at this time, and wanted to persuade Yang Nong to stop, but there was no way to interject, and later Yang Nong became more and more difficult to speak, his voice became lower and lower, and his expression became more and more depressed, but he still kept talking, Li Xiu and Yang Dui didn't dare to speak at this time, and could only look at the stubborn old man in front of them with tears in their eyes.

Yang Nong's voice became lower and lower, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all, he could only see his mouth squirming, and finally even his mouth stopped, and there was no sound in the room, and at this time Yang Nong lowered his head and sat there quietly motionless, as if he was asleep.

"Uncle!" Yang Dui screamed softly with tears in his eyes at this time, but Yang Nong didn't react at all, which made Li Xiu also hurriedly rush forward, stretched out his trembling hand and touched Yang Nong's pulse, only to find that his wrist was cold and his pulse stopped beating.

"Yang Gong~" found that Yang Nong had left, Li Xiu couldn't help but scream in grief, although he had been mentally prepared in the past few days, but when he saw Yang Nong die in front of him, it still made him feel extremely sad, and Yang Dui next to him also rushed forward and helped Yang Nong's body cry bitterly.

Yang Nong's room was already surrounded by officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, and when they heard the sad voices of Li Xiu and Yang Dui inside, they naturally knew that Yang Nong had passed away, which made most people unable to stop their grief, many of them were pulled up by Yang Nong, it can be said that Yang Nong had the grace of knowing them, and now that Yang Nong is gone, the Ministry of Agriculture does not know who will take over, which makes them sad and confused, and they naturally can't control their feelings for a while, and the entire Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture is also shrouded in an atmosphere of grief.
