The arrival of the imperial history made the whole Changshan County excited, and in August, Bai Ash planted potatoes again under the supervision of Wang Zheng, this time planting a full five acres of land.

The three-month growth period makes many people anxiously count the days, and the most excited is the people of Changshan County, who are close to each other, maybe they will be able to get seeds next year.

In the blink of an eye, autumn turned to winter, and there were countless people around the sky and earth, some local, and some rushed from other places after hearing the news.

When he saw the potatoes dug out of the field and piled up on the edge of the ground, Wang Zheng was so shocked that his hands trembled, and he ignored the mud on the potatoes, picked them up and kept fiddling with them in his hands, trying to see the reason for their high yield from this unsightly appearance.

This time, it was planted in front of Yushi's eyes, growing to maturity, and Wang Zheng went to the field every day to see it, and sometimes Bai Ash would dig out one for him to see the growth of potatoes in the field.

Under the watchful eye, potatoes, no, the taro is on fire.

Five acres of land, roughly estimated to be six or seven thousand catties, not easy to transport, Wang Zheng only brought a hundred catties of fast horses and whipped to the capital, accompanied by the county commander Chu Heng.

When they arrived in the capital, the two of them didn't have time to wash, they were summoned by the emperor, and the scumbag father was about to ask what was going on, and seeing that the person who came was the most trusted father-in-law of Fushun by the emperor's side, he could only tell his daughter, "Go and change your clothes first, see that you are covered in dust." ”

Bai Shen shook his head, "Your Majesty is urgent, there must be something important, and it's not good to let Gonggong Fu wait, I'll go." ”

Seeing that her lips were chapped because she was in a hurry, the scumbag father hurriedly called someone, "Then you drink saliva and leave..."

As if she hadn't heard, she nodded to him and turned around and followed Gonggong Fu.

Bai Ash secretly sighed to the system: "People in their forties, the scumbag father is so simple!" "She also changed her clothes, how did the change of clothes show that she was in a hurry? How does moistening her lips show that she has worked hard all the way?

When he saw the emperor, it was not surprising that Lord Wang Zheng did not change his clothes, and the two of them had the same gray face and chapped lips.

The emperor was moved when he saw it, and stepped forward to help, "Two Aiqing, hurry up, come here, give me a seat!" ”

At the end, he sighed, "I can't imagine that I can see this scene in my lifetime, and I really hope that one day all the people will have food and clothes to keep warm." ”

"Well said!" The emperor's eyes were slightly moist, "Chu Aiqing, where did you get this taro?" How did you come up with the idea of planting it in the ground? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, at first Weichen looked at it as a flower, who knew that the potato was dug up in its soil, and at that time I thought it looked similar to a potato, and I could eat it, so I cooked it and tasted it, and it tasted good... At that time, there were several potatos under that seedling, and the minister thought, if it can be planted, wouldn't the yield be very high? ”

"After that, I asked people to find this taro again, and then planted it in the ground to try it, but it didn't work out, it really happened, it can be seen that God must have seen His Majesty's diligence and love for the people, and he specially sent this grain to thank His Majesty for loving the people like a son!"

The emperor hasn't slept well these days, waiting anxiously every day, and now he only feels physically and mentally comfortable, "No, this credit belongs to Chu Aiqing, if it weren't for you, this taro would still be buried in the soil and wouldn't see the light of day." ”

"It's all Your Majesty's blessing! Weichen will go to Changshan County is also assigned by His Majesty, but he did what he did, and he really didn't dare to take credit, Lord Wang was tired of driving and horses, and went to the field every day to see the growth of taro, which was really hard. "Didn't you notice that he was all tanned?" ”

Wang Zheng touched his cheeks, "Weichen is not hard, Lord Chu personally went to the field to plant, a good girl's family, her hands are thick, when she sees her, Weichen thinks of his pampered daughter, and he is really distressed." ”

Bai Shen shook his head, "Lord Wang's words are wrong, since I have become Your Majesty's courtier, I should be loyal and do my best to do the duties given by Your Majesty, if it is hard, Your Majesty and the courtiers, as long as you think of the common people, which one is not hard?" ”

"Good!" The emperor laughed, "The two Aiqing are hard, go back today and have a good rest, and tomorrow I will set up a potato banquet to celebrate the two of you!" ”

Most of the dishes on the potato feast are made of potatoes, and they are still fresh at first, but after a few bites, they are a little tired, and this thing is easy to fill...

The faces of the ministers who ate were yellow, and they did not dare to show it, and they all pretended to like to eat and stuffed them into their mouths, and after eating a few bites, they had to say a few words of praise, and when His Majesty had done his best to give a reward, the banquet was finally over, and the ministers sent His Majesty away, and then helped each other out of the palace.

After returning home, the slightly drunk scumbag father called her over, "Now that you have such a credit, even if you are transferred to the household department, there is no problem, why bother to live in that small place?" ”

The righteousness on the white ash face was awe-inspiring, "Father, it's not a secret, the child only has the people in his heart, in order to keep them fed and clothed, what does it matter if he guards the small county town all his life?" ”

She is still a little sincere in what she says, if she is poor, she will be good to herself, and if she is good, she will help the world at the same time, she will seek her own government in her position, as a traverser, you can't learn from those corrupt officials and corrupt officials to loot the people, right? She's a face-saving person.

Scum Daddy: "... This is what your uncle taught you? ”

"It is the father who teaches the child, and the ultimate goal of the household department is not to feed all the people, the child just wants to realize your ideals in another way."

Seeing his daughter put on that disgusting face again, the scumbag father only felt that the soil was upwell, and he stretched out his hand and pointed, "Get out!" How could he have such an ideal? He just wants to get promoted.

Chu Heng once again became the object of discussion on the streets, and the news of her discovery of high-yield crops soon spread throughout the provinces, and many officials sent His Majesty a table asking for some seeds to go back.

His Majesty thought about it, since Chu Heng was the first to discover it, and she also had experience in planting, it was better to start planting in Changshan County first, and when she had accumulated enough experience, she would teach it elsewhere.

Subsequently, Bai Ash returned to Changshan County, ready to select a group of people to send potatoes for them to learn to plant, more than 6,000 catties can be planted about 30 acres of land, which is definitely not enough for the whole county.

There are landowners who have received news and come to the county government with money, and there are relatives who are looking for connections, in short, they all want a piece of the pie.

White Ash did not agree, but took people to find a suitable place by himself.

There are many rice fields here, and not all plots are suitable for growing potatoes.

In the end, a dozen families were selected for their land, and each family was given 200 catties of potatoes as seeds, and in winter, each family that got the seeds had to hand over at least 1,000 catties of potatoes, which was calculated according to the proportion of grain paid for taxes.

However, if you plant potatoes, you can't grow rice, so you don't have to pay taxes and grain, and the potatoes left in the hands of these people can choose to grow them themselves or sell them.

In order to prevent these people from wasting potatoes, Bai Ash also had to inform the people in the county that potatoes are not waterlogged, and places with large amounts of water are not suitable for planting.
