The four of them returned to the backyard of the yamen.

Entering Wuji's bedroom, Wuji asked six guards to guard the courtyard door and not let one in.

Then close the door.

"Come, drink saliva first." The four of them sat around the table. Wuji poured a glass of water for Ah Kang, "Okay, you drink saliva first." ”

Ah Kang drank the water in one gulp: "Da Lang, I will first enter Jiaozhi from Yulin County according to what you said, and search for the species that I haven't seen you for months. Then from returning to Xingwangfu to go to sea, passing through January, to Luzon. After three months of searching, I finally found something like you said in a place called Puerto Princesa. It is common for locals to eat it as a meal. It's a pity that on the way back, there was a hurricane, and the four guards ....... ”

Seeing that Ah Kang's sad voice was about to sound again, Wuji hurriedly patted Bai Likang's shoulder to comfort him.

Ah Kang took a breath, opened the baggage, and said, "Dalang, please take a look." ”

I saw that there were four spindle-shaped objects that were slightly larger than fists.

That's right, it's it – sweet potato.

Baili Wuji stared at his eyes, he couldn't believe that he had really found this thing, and for a while it seemed like a feeling of time and space confusion, which was dizzying.

After a long time, Wuji came back to his senses, and said to Ah Kang excitedly and incoherently: "Okay, good, good, Ah Kang, you have made a great contribution, and this merit is in the world." In this way, the shortage of military rations has also been solved, and you are really my lucky star. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and planned to give Bailikang another hug, Bailikang was sad and indignant in his heart, but he didn't dare to refuse, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Xie Dalang praises, a certain dare not be greedy for heaven's merits, this matter depends on Dalang's command." A certain congratulations to the big man who is now getting what he wants. ”

Who doesn't know who the Tao is.

Baili Wuji smiled and withdrew his hand, and secretly glared at Bailikang, you kid remember.

But soon, Mowgli was immersed in the joy of getting sweet potatoes.

Seeing that Wuji was happy, everyone was also full of excitement, Bailiren was excited that Wuji finally had a solution to the problem of uniting the army's food and straw, Bailiyi was excited that he was expected to enter the unity army to lead the troops, and Wei Li was excited that everyone was excited, and he had to be infected by excitement, because he was the only one who didn't know what to do with this sweet potato.

There are frequent changes of dynasties in the world, and there are years of war, and the people are not enough to eat, and countless people die of hunger.

A few years ago, Wuji planned to find this thing for the benefit of the people, but he was not sure of the exact origin of the sweet potato, only knew that the Tao was introduced from the South Seas, only because there were no trustworthy people around him to send, until two years ago, Bai Likang turned sixteen years old, Wuji made up his mind to send him to Jiaozhi and Luzon to find it. Although Mowgli didn't have much hope, now Bailikang did find it and brought it back.

With this treasure, food and grass can no longer be unobstructed.

Sweet potatoes in hand, I have them in the world.

Mowgli decided to strictly block the news from the outside world until enough seed potatoes were cultivated.

It's not that Wuji doesn't want to promote, first, he is afraid that if he is known by the surrounding feudal towns, it will bring unwarranted disasters to Badong, and Wuji will naturally understand the truth of his guilt, and secondly, he is afraid that it may cause the king to be suspicious, anyway, it is not wrong to be cautious.

Now the main thing is the need to multiply seeds.

The next day, Wuji instructed the lord Bo Xu Shiming to find a few handy old farmers, summoned Ah Ren and the four of them, and reclaimed an acre of land outside the backyard wall, and opened another small field on the side to cultivate seedlings. And let the craftsman build a fence around it to connect with the backyard, and open a doorway in the original wall of the backyard to facilitate entry and exit.

The choice of Xu Shiming to participate in the cultivation of sweet potatoes is not kept secret from him, because there must be an official who is familiar with the situation in Padang, and the most important thing is that Xu Shiming's impression on him that night has completely changed, and trust has been generated, making Wuji faintly feel that Xu Shiming cannot be a person who is spying on or harmful to him.

Since then, everyone has done it themselves and began their careers as farmers in the backyard of the Yamen in Badong County.

Sweet potatoes are not only food, but also fresh vegetables with stem tips, young leaves, and petioles, and the rest can also be used as feed for animal husbandry. The most important thing is that sweet potatoes are drought-tolerant, high-yielding, and do not require much skill or manpower for maintenance. Compared with the grain yield per mu during the Five Dynasties period, it would be a miraculous existence.

Wuji asked the old farmers to dig the small field half a size, apply bottom fertilizer, make four pits, and then put the four sweet potatoes face up separately and cover them with slightly wet fine soil. He instructed Wei Lan and Xu Shiming to write down the order of the operation, record the results of the daily inspection, and organize them into a book for later use when promoting planting.

Every morning when he gets up, Mowgli will habitually go into the backyard and take a closer look. Because it is now the end of February, the temperature has just warmed up, and the budding of sweet potatoes is a bit slow.

Five days later, when Wuji went to see it again, he was pleasantly surprised to find a little green in the soil, which was half the success for Wuji, who was anxious in his heart.

On the sixth day of the first month of March, it was sunny.

Jingnan Jiangling Mansion.

The residence of the king of Nanping.

Council Hall.

Sitting on the main seat in the middle is naturally the king of Nanping, and no one else will dare to sit in his seat.

Gao Congxue is a fat man, a big fat man.

If this fat man is in charge of the power of life and death for 800,000 people in Nanping Kingdom.

Then everyone will naturally not see his fatness.

Few even dared to look him in the eye. Not to mention dare to laugh at his fatness.

Unfortunately, there are still people who dare today.

There is more than one daring.

No, there are three people sitting below, and among these three people, at least two of them dare to laugh at him for being fat.

The first one sitting on the right, Sun Guangxian, the current chief staff of the palace, is more different. Because he dared to spit on the big fat man on the throne. Imagine that the Tang Dynasty Wei Zheng's Tian Shenu is nothing more than that.

At that time, Gao Congzhi succeeded to the throne for a few years, and life was indeed a little tight, who didn't want to live comfortably, eat some delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it was normal for people to live.

On the side, Ma Xifan of Chu State, that rich second generation is so free and easy.

Living in a tall building, lying on a high couch, embracing beautiful women, and occasionally going out for a ride.

Gao Congxue also wanted to live that kind of life, so he chose the right time, the right place, and said some suitable words: "If the king of Chu has a good life, then it is called life." ”

Unfortunately, the person to confide in is not very suitable.

At that time, Sun Guangxian angrily sprayed Gao Congxue's spit: "King, people have a thick family background, how can we compare with others?" Besides, Nama Xifan only cares about his own pleasure, and does not care about the life and death of the people, and sooner or later he will be retributed. The king can be bad, but he can't learn badly. We have to learn from Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Listening to Gao Cong's teaching, his face was green, and he had to say: "Meng Wen's golden and jade good words, this person is close to Zhu and red, and he is close to ink and black." Remember, remember. ”

This Gao family father and son have been running Jingnan for two generations, and they have done a lot of stealing chickens and dogs, and the reputation of the feudal towns in various places is miserable, and the "Gao Laizi" is collectively given to the Gao family father and son by the feudal towns. But in terms of conscience, the land of Jingnan Sanzhou is sandwiched between the four elephants of Shu, Jin, Chu and Wu, and no one can bite if they want to.

Gao Jixing wanted to ask for Kui, Zhong, and Wan Sanzhou from Li Siyuan in the Later Tang Dynasty, but Li Siyuan's army moved, and he was stunned to snatch it back, and he also paid 3,000 sons of Jingnan. When he arrived at Gao Congxue, he repeatedly sent troops to attack Xiangzhou. As a result, he was beaten by the Hanshan Nanjiedu and his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen.

Therefore, guarding one's own one-third of an acre of land has become the ancestral training of the descendants of the Gao family. And Gao Cong's admonition is like a stream, changing the temperament of relatives, reducing taxes, and leniencing punishments, in this respect, it is not much worse than Li Shimin.

Among the five generations, compared with the feudal towns in various places, the people of Jingnan have lived a relatively stable life.
