After seeing the growth of sweet potatoes, the Xue family set the day of excavation on October 20.

Most of the villagers from other villages and towns came to the foot of the sweet potato mountain one after another on the 19th.

Everyone spent the night here, and by the way, determined where they were assigned to work tomorrow and the tasks they were assigned, and waited for the next day to work.

The next day, the rest of the villagers also arrived.

Sweet potatoes were officially excavated.

Now there are more than 100,000 acres of sweet potato land, and there are enough vine seedlings for the next season, so they don't need to protect the vine seedlings first, but dig them out and put them there.

There will be someone who is responsible for cutting the seedlings, and some people are only responsible for picking the sweet potatoes from that large bunch, and some people are only responsible for loading the baskets, and some of the laborers are responsible for picking the sweet potatoes back and replacing them with empty baskets.

This round of sweet potatoes does not need to be left with seeds, and a large number of them will be disposed of in a short time after they are dug out, so they are not afraid of digging Huai, and they don't have to worry about vine seedlings when digging, and the speed of digging sweet potatoes is naturally faster.

If you want to take care of this and that, it is really enough to do so much work in ten days.

Previously, the Xue family expected that in addition to the existing labor, as long as another 40,000 laborers were recruited from other villages and towns, they would be able to complete this task.

It's just that the sweet potatoes are dug up, but how to pick them back is another problem.

After all, this mountain encloses more than 100,000 acres of sweet potato fields, and it takes an hour to pick the sweet potatoes from the highest place.

Without a labor force of more than 100,000 yuan, he wanted to pick all the sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines down the mountain in ten days.

Therefore, the sweet potatoes that are farther away can only be dug up and buried back in the soil.

It just so happens that the closer to the top of the mountain, the sweeter the sweet potatoes, and the most suitable for sugar production in the future, this batch of sweet potatoes will naturally be buried here.

This burial can't be buried casually, and there are a lot of exquisiteness.

Roughly dig a big pit, dig out the sweet potatoes that have been dug out for a period of time and spread them into the pit, spray water on them, and the sweet potatoes that have dried up and turned earthy will turn red after spraying water, and then cover them with a thick layer of dry soil, and they can be stored here for a long time.

However, after counting the number of people on the 20th, the Xue family found that they still underestimated the enthusiasm of the villagers for work, and 60,000 laborers came from other villages and towns.

That's 80,000, 20,000 more than they expected.

If there are more people, the speed will naturally be faster, and at least you can pick some more sweet potatoes to go back.

But the problem comes again, the so-called number of laborers is only the real labor force converted by the Xue family according to the working capacity they can provide, and the number is actually larger.

There are too many people, and it is obviously beyond the Xue family's ability to afford accommodation, and their own shed can't accommodate so many people.

The Xue family had no choice but to give them money to temporarily live in the homes of the villagers in the villages around the sweet potato mountain.

Fortunately, all they need to solve is the problem of sleeping at night, which is not difficult, mattresses, quilts and other things are spread on the ground, and many people can sleep in one room.

Most of the owners of these houses have rented land to the Xue family, and they also work for the Xue family, so they are naturally welcome, after all, they can charge a few more cents every day.

For the Xue family, paying a little silver every day is much more cost-effective than building a shed, and it also saves time, so it couldn't be better.

But even so, because the population was so large that most of the villagers' homes were almost full, the Xue family barely settled them.

Among all the lower-class people in Fengqing County, when almost every household sent laborers to Xue's house to dig sweet potatoes and plant sweet potatoes, they did not know that earth-shattering changes were quietly brewing in their county.

And this great change also has a lot to do with the Xue family, or the sweet potatoes they planted.

There are only more than 200,000 people in Fengqing County, and as a result, the Xue family has to mobilize more than 100,000 people to do more than 100,000 daily labors to grow a crop, and it is still a continuous time, and the people may only think about how much money they can earn from it.

As for those pavilion chiefs and Li Zheng, what they think of is naturally the credit for making the people rich.

Of these people, who is likely to benefit the most?

Naturally, he is the parent official of the people of a county - the county master.

The living standards of the people under his rule have been greatly improved, and for the county magistrate, it is a great political achievement, which is related to the political achievements of his career, and he must ask about it.

As soon as he asked, he naturally wanted to come with great fanfare.

The Xue family said that they were helping the Zheng family plant special crops, which could fool the people, but not the county master.

Even if they can fool the past and such a good thing happens under their rule, the county lord will have to work on the book, and the sweet potatoes in their hands will still have to be exposed.

In short, as long as there is this-stirring stick, it will be difficult for the Xue family to hide the sweet potato.

What's the best way to do it?

Naturally, he changed the county master, and changed someone who could ignore this sweet potato.

And so the great change began to brew.

The person who brewed this great change was Zheng Linchu.

Since the discovery of sweet potatoes, whether or not they will leak has been one of the questions she has had to consider.

It was also from that time that she began to collect evidence of the county lord's guilt in a hurry.

What kind of officials are the people most afraid of above them?

Lazy officer?

No, how many officials are there in a county? There are more officials, and they are the main ones who do the work.

Officials are lazy, but officials can do their jobs.

Corrupt officials?

No, a corrupt official is just greedy for money, which does not necessarily mean that he will not be able to do things.

They are most afraid of faint officials and mediocre officials.

I am most afraid that faint officials will do wrong things and have the opposite effect, and I am also afraid that mediocre officials will do foolish things and harm people.

Our county master, he is not greedy, nor lazy, but the bad is bad in the fact that he is not lazy, he is faint, he is even more mediocre.

Under Zheng Linchu's intentional collection, it is natural to search for a quasi-child, and there can be a large stack of incriminating evidence.

Soon, the evidence of his incriminating crimes was sent to the capital by Wei Qi at the moment of need, and it was even transferred to the hands of a certain Beijing official.

Zheng Linchu sent Wei Qi back to Beijing this time, in addition to looking for Yuan Jiarong, to inquire about the county master.

As a result, it is natural that Lord Qincha has been setting off with the Holy Decree and the new prefectural order for more than a month, and it is expected that it will arrive soon.

Here in Fengqing County, the Xue family began the task of digging sweet potatoes, and Zheng Linchu simply came to a 'change of county order' in order to prevent it from leaking, so where is the owner of this 150,000 mu of sweet potato land?

Let's find out.

It is said that the day Xue Langjing left Liujia Village was October 20.

On the first day, many villagers went to Xue's house under the leadership of Li Zheng to wait for work.

And not long after she left, after everyone who learned that she was the Xue family had spent the initial excitement, the rest of the people who were going to work also set off to the Xue family again under the leadership of Li Zheng's son.
