Chapter 31: The Cry of the Crowd
After several months of hard work, more than 3,000 acres finally arrived at harvest time. In order to serve these thousands of acres of sweet potatoes, hundreds of people get up early every day and water and fertilize them greedily.
Except for the people standing guard, all of them came to a measured sweet potato field, which was only one acre in size, and a hundred selected young men were holding hoes and waiting for Yun Mo's order:
Yun Mo took off his camouflage uniform for the first time today and put on a robe made of Yingzi. Yun Mo, who is tall and tall, is really sunny and handsome after putting on the robe.
In fact, Yun Mo's heart was also a little uneasy, this sweet potato was a good seed that he brought from the later generations, this kind of seed that has passed through thousands of years, whether there is still the yield of the later generations, Yun Mo's heart is uncertain.
As soon as people are nervous, they will want to find someone to rely on, Yun Mo involuntarily reached out to hold Yingzi's hand. Don't look at Yun Mo's face full of spring breeze now, the tension in his heart makes Yingzi feel:
"Brother Yun, no hard work, no harvest, in order to take care of these sweet potatoes, hundreds of people have worked hard for several months, and the sky will definitely not let down our hard work."
"Yes, yes, to reap well, you must cultivate well, and I believe that the earth will not fail his industrious people."
The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, how much is the yield of sweet potatoes, dig it out and weigh it.
Two officials from the Ministry of Rites came to Yun Mo with six cups of tea:
"Please the chief and the lady respect the Heavenly Ancestor."
This is made by the Ministry of Rites according to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, Yun Mo does not reject the sacrificial activities of respecting heaven and earth and respecting ancestors, from the big aspect: "The major affairs of the country are worshiped in Rong", from the small aspect, if people do not have ancestors, is it not possible to jump out of the stone.
Yun Mo began to recite the article written to him by the Ministry of Rites:
"Respect the anger of the heavens, dare not joke. Respect the sky, no dare to gallop. Haotian said that it was clear, and he was the king. Haotian said, and Eryouyan. β
The people of the Ministry of Rites immediately lifted the tray in front of Yun Mo and Yingzi, Yun Mo and Yingzi each picked up a cup of tea, then dipped their fingers in the tea and flicked it into the sky three times, and then took a sip of the tea that washed their fingers.
The people of the Ministry of Rites then chanted:
"Virtue is to secure the country, so it is said that we should respect the heavens, when we should respect the majesty of the heavens, and we should be self-disciplined, and we dare not ignore it and joke about it. And when the catastrophe of heaven is respected, he always trembles, and he does not dare to rush away from it. β
Zhang Ying's ancestors were crowned kings by the Tang Dynasty, but the Zhang family came to Zhang Ying with such a daughter, Yingzi's future husband Yun Mo is definitely not qualified to be the king, but Li Tang has been dead for more than a hundred years, and the semi-literate people of the Ministry of Rites do not understand it very well.
Yun Mo continued to recite:
"All things are born from heaven, and people are from ancestors. The sacrifice of the suburbs is also, and the big newspaper is also the beginning, so it is worthy of God. The sky is like a saint, and the suburbs are tomorrow. β
Then pick up the tea, dip your finger in the tea and bounce it three times on the ground, and then drink the tea that has washed your fingers.
The people of the Ministry of Rites then sang:
"The king respects his test, wants to match the sky, the meaning of the test, wants to respect the ancestors, and pushes it up, so he reaches the ancestors."
The meaning of this sentence is that those who have the world in the past generations have been matched with their ancestors, and the ancestors are born with the gods of the heavens, and the ancestors are matched with the ancestors.
Why do these half-hung "scholars" always want to push Yun Mo to the throne! You must know that Yun Mo only has more than 2,000 people on hand, don't they know that they will build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings?
Of course they don't know, this is what Zhu Yuanzhang's adviser in the Ming Dynasty said, these half-hung "scholars" are selfish, they have only been the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for a few days, and they feel that the name of this book is not right, because Yun Mo is just the leader of the Han tribe in the Western Regions, and their name is not true, if they want to make their book right, they must find ways to make Yun Mo the king.
It is actually easy to be the king, and it is in this place in the Western Regions, it is actually easy, a group of horse thieves of several hundred people, under a village, can also be called the king and hegemon, but you must be able to withstand the black and eat the black.
Yun Mo smiled and said nothing, and continued to follow the rehearsed procedure, and when the procedure was finished, Yun Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered to the young man who was waiting on a plate:
"Harvest the crops."
A hundred young men rushed into the ground with hoes and began to dig sweet potatoes with all their might, and for each sweet potato plant, someone would come up and put the sweet potatoes into rattan baskets, and when the basket was full, they would immediately lift them aside and weigh them.
Looking forward to the day of the harvest is a kind of happy waiting, and the feeling of seeing the harvest is the joy of happiness, and only at this time can we realize the meaning of hard work and harvest.
When a huge sweet potato was dug up, all the onlookers were full of happy smiles on their faces, and the sweat of the harvest fell into the land, and finally there was a gratifying return, a bumper harvest.
A bumper harvest means that their hard work has been rewarded.
A bumper harvest means that the year's life is secure again.
Countless people picked up the sweet potato, touched it affectionately, and looked at it, the light red sweet potato shone in the sunlight, and people's dark faces were filled with joy and satisfaction, which was the joy of the harvest and the yearning for a happy life in the future.
Half an hour later, all the sweet potatoes in an acre of land were dug up, and the weighing was immediately counted, and the household department stumbled in front of Yun Mo and Yingzi, pushed the gold mountain, poured the jade pillar, and bowed his head:
"Leader Qiqi, a bumper harvest, a great harvest!"
"How much is the yield per mu?"
"Seven thousand six hundred and eighty-five pounds...... The leader Chitose is blessed with heaven!. β
The head of the household is still crying, and the onlookers are also very mobile! These people were born as slaves, and they were really starved and frightened, and food was more important to them than their lives.
The onlookers saw that the head of the household was still kneeling, and they also shouted out the leader Chitose Hongfu Qitian, and the onlookers also knelt down, calling the leader Chitose three times.
Yun Mo just smiled faintly, and was noncommittal about this matter, at this time, Yun Mo was the king, and Yun Mo definitely became the target of the Gaochang Kingdom.
Although the Hui government is weak, others are in control of the state power, and the ability to send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is still there.
Therefore, to be the king at this time is to find death, and the rafters that come out are rotten first, so Yun Mo will not be a fool who wants to be famous.
"Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly call the king" is right, and when you have the strength, destroy Gaochang in one fell swoop, and then it will not be too late to call the king and the emperor! Yun Mo turned a blind eye without the cries of the crowd.
"Everyone, let's go and see this sweet potato, how to eat this sweet potato, there are many ways to do it."
Yun Mo couldn't help but take Yingzi's hand and walked out first, Zhang Ying also adapted to Yun Mo's habit of holding hands, which was really normal for Yun Mo to hold his fiancΓ©e's hand.
