When they arrived at the princess, everyone behaved like a quail.

When Xu Jiao saw them coming, she didn't waste time.

"Now you pack up and go to Lingqu County. The county officials of Lingqu County don't do practical things, I will be removed, don't let me down in the past. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, they didn't expect to be assigned to do things so quickly, and they thought they would have to wait for a while.

"We must do our best." Everyone spoke in unison.

Lin Hai's fault Xu Jiao has been pardoned, and she feels that Lin Hai can't be completely blamed for this matter, if she hadn't named her to see that garbage, she wouldn't have let them be so jealous.

Before Lin Hai retired, Xu Jiao didn't forget to let him put Sun Qingyuan out.

Directly mention it to the Broken Dao Temple on the mountain and continue to cultivate immortals. It can be regarded as letting him get what he wants.

I'm such a kind person.

Xu Jiao thought silently in her heart.

Time is fleeting, and Xu Jiao has been in Zhongxiang for two months.

Every day, Yan Ming, the chief disciple of Mei University, attended classes in the morning, and lay in his room in the afternoon to waste time.

On the army side, I got 1500 mission points last time I completed the mission, and I bought a lot of meat, and there was no shortage at all.

Every time, Xu Jiao changed into the car and asked people to pull them directly to the barracks, so no one doubted the source of the meat.

But if she keeps doing this, no one will suspect the team of 2,000 people, what if she raises an army of 5,000 or tens of thousands in the future......

"Princess, Zhong Xiang is too guarded to see you." Lan Ruo walked in and leaned over and said.

"Let him in." Xu Jiao probably guessed the purpose of Zhong Xiang Taishou's visit.

Sure enough, Zhong Xiang Taishou came and spoke: "Your Highness, winter has come, and the sweet potatoes planted before are now harvested, do you think you will let the people dig them out in these two days?" After a while, it will be difficult to go to the fields when it snows. ”

At this time, the common people don't go out much in winter, the weather is very cold, there are no clothes to resist the cold, they are all nested at home, otherwise it is common to accidentally freeze to death.

Unexpectedly, this also triggered the system task: "Ding, the second side quest of the second stage, let the people spend the cold winter at home, try to avoid the people from freezing to death, the survival rate is 95% regarded as the success of the mission, and the reward depends on the result." ”

Since arriving in Zhong Xiangcheng, the task rewards released by the system are all determined by the results.

Xu Jiao immediately asked Zhong Xiang Taishou: "Do you know how many people froze to death in winter in previous years?" ”

Zhong Xiang Taishou was obviously stunned, he was obviously asking the princess if the sweet potatoes should be harvested, why did he come here.

Looking at his reaction, Xu Jiao thought that he hadn't understood this matter, and couldn't help but tone a little bad.

"Why, as a parent official, you don't even know this?"

Zhong Xiang Taishou immediately bowed down and replied: "Back to the princess, the minister knows." Every winter, as many as thirty and a half people freeze to death in Zhongxiang's jurisdiction, Zhongxiang is already a poor place......"

Speaking of this, he choked up a little, but continued: "The people can't afford cotton, and the quilts are stuffed with reeds and grass wool and the like. ”

"But this year's harvest is good, and in time for you to reduce or reduce the taxes you paid, presumably the people have enough food to survive the winter, and they will not freeze to death and starve to death as in previous years."

Speaking of this, his tone became calm, and his words were full of gratitude to Xu Jiao.

It would cost so many people's lives in one winter, and she had never heard of it in the palace before.

Now winter has come, and although it has just begun, it is too late to plant cotton.

When I first came to Zhongxiangcheng, the sweet potatoes were successfully planted because the people were grateful to her for exempting so many taxes.

If she had known that so many people would freeze to death in winter, she would have put a knife on the necks of the people and forced them to plant cotton. The crazy cultivation method of cotton obtained by completing the main quest will definitely be able to grow a lot of cotton.

So what to do now......

"Your Highness." Zhong Xiang was too guarded to see Xu Jiao stunned, and couldn't help but shout at her.

"Collect it, collect it, let them dig up all the sweet potatoes, hand them over for two percent to make seeds, and take the rest home and roast them and steam them." Xu Jiao commanded.

"Then Your Highness, won't you go and take a look?" Zhong Xiang Taishou thought that Xu Jiao would go to see the fruits of the people he had confessed, and he also wanted to know if this sweet potato was really so high-yielding.

"What do you see? It's winter, what if I go out and freeze me to death. Xu Jiao said in an unkind tone, and then waved her hand to let Taishou go back to deal with affairs.

She is now full of how to complete the task, where is she in the mood to run out to watch people dig sweet potatoes on a cold day, it's not that she hasn't seen it.

Zhong Xiang obeyed the order and immediately arranged for his subordinates to notify the old farmers to come out to dig sweet potatoes.

The old farmers who planted sweet potatoes this time all took the initiative to sign up voluntarily, just to repay Her Royal Highness the princess's kindness and accompany her to toss and toss.

Something they had never heard of before, they didn't expect much.

At this time, most of the sweet potato fields are full of people, all of whom have not grown at home and come here to see the excitement.

Different from the gossip of everyone, an old farmer in his forties and fifties wearing a thin jacket was trembling with excitement.

Everyone calls him Lao Wangtou, he is a good farmer, and he has supported seven wives and children, and now his grandsons are running all over the ground.

The sweet potatoes in this field were planted by him against the objections of his family. It's not that the family doesn't know the truth of repaying the favor, but they have too many children, and no matter how much grain they store this year, if they don't plant some food in the fields in these two months, the children will also be hungry.

As the head of the family, no one dares to refute the decision he really made, the five sons are all honest, and the father and son planted the family's five acres of land in two days.

But these days, the old wife has been vaguely complaining, his five sons have married daughters-in-law and had children, and there are daughters who have been married.

Just the day before yesterday, he secretly went to the field to dig a few hoes, wanting to see what the sweet potato had become, but he didn't expect to dig a hoe and pull out a bunch, all of which weighed at least seven or eight pounds.

He didn't do anything wrong, what the princess brought was the seed to save the world and save lives.

Today, Taishou ordered them to dig, and they can finally harvest, and he wants to make those who say he is stupid behind his back regret it.

In addition to his five sons, his son-in-law also came to help. The seven of them threw off their arms and got to work.

The people watching the excitement gradually changed from gossip to silence and then shock.

Not for anything else, just for the sweet potatoes dug up have been piled up into a hill!

How many pounds this should be!

This kind of scene also happened in other sweet potato fields, and the people who dig sweet potatoes are getting more and more motivated, and everyone is so excited that their eyes are red.
