Chapter 607: Changshan County Order (Cultivation of the First Cabinet Assistant)
"Thank you, sir!"
"Your Excellency!"
"I want to toast the adults for the people of the county!"
Everyone was loud, and the emotion was beyond words, with this letter, there was a lot less exploitation, as long as it can be successfully transported to other counties, this trip can make a lot of money.
The most important thing is to have a friendship with the county order.
After a year, Liu did not come back, and the scumbag father wrote to scold her, saying that she ignored her mother's long-distance hard work, balabala, in short, she had to be soft.
After reading it, Bai Ash destroyed the letter and destroyed the corpse, and then began to prepare for the county exam.
After the inspection, you have to figure out the exam questions and push away the gifts sent by the people who want to go through the back door.
This time, she plans to choose a few flexible brains and can do things in the county exam, and plans to come up with a few additional questions in the next four games.
After the results were announced, she chose two people who did not plan to continue the exam to come to the county government to help, with these two people plus Mr. Qin, she suddenly felt that her work was much easier.
When writing a report to his boss, he praised the other party's leadership again, and then wrote that he had found a new crop, and he planned to try to plant a few acres of land this spring, and if the yield was high, he could promote it more.
The potato came from nowhere, and now it has not been cultivated on a large scale, and the people only regard it as a rare thing, and the rich only enjoy its flowers.
She directly bought a few acres of poor fields in the eyes of the people in the name of the government, which have a lot of sandy soil, a high location, and little water.
Then cut the fresh potatoes into small pieces, and pay attention to the longitudinal cutting as much as possible in the process, each piece has budding eyes on it, and it is placed in the sand to germinate, and after more than ten days, the potatoes sprout, she hired several farmers to take people to plant them herself.
Potatoes are crops that like low temperatures, of course, this low temperature does not refer to winter, compared to other crops, the ground temperature exceeds 25 degrees and potatoes will stop growing.
Therefore, the general planting is relatively early, it can mature in March, and in the temperature environment of Changshan County, it can be planted twice a year, and it can be planted again after August.
If you don't have an acre of land, you need about 200 catties of seeds, and if modern potatoes are planted by scientific methods, the highest yield per mu can even reach 10,000 catties, and those who are poorly planted can get 1 or 2,000 catties.
Bai Ash didn't have so many seeds, and only planted one acre of land, which Wu Desheng ran to a lot of places and spent a lot of money to get it.
After the potatoes were planted, the reward given to her by the imperial court also arrived, and several guards escorted a father-in-law to read the reward, and even the two Langzhong also received a silver reward.
Before the other party left, she asked her to bring the remaining few potatoes, wrapped them in red cloth, and gave them to her father-in-law with a handwritten recipe.
"Xiaguan has always been concerned about the saint, and when he came in and found a new food, he wanted to give it to His Majesty to taste, and his father-in-law brought it, and Xiaguan was grateful."
The father-in-law smiled and asked people to accept it, "Lord Chu is really loyal, and His Majesty often talks about you, saying that when you were in the Hanlin Academy, you gave the best lectures." ”
Bai Ash asked people to take out another burden, "This is a pillow made by Xia Guan, with some soothing herbs in it, and the journey is tiring, and my father-in-law can rest on it." ”
"Lord Chu is really thoughtful!" The father-in-law took it in surprise and smiled so much that his eyes couldn't see, "Our family will definitely tell Your Majesty that you are loyal." ”
Soon, the potatoes were made into a dish and sent to the emperor's table, and after a few bites, he felt that the taste was good, so he casually asked, "Today's yam tastes a little different." ”
The father-in-law who was waiting stepped forward, "Your Majesty, this is not a yam, this thing was offered by the Changshan County Order... Didn't you send someone to reward you last time, Lord Chu got something fresh and immediately asked someone to bring it back for His Majesty to taste. ”
The Emperor nodded with satisfaction, "She's a good one." ”
"Lord Chu also asked Your Majesty to give this thing a name."
Subsequently, the father-in-law brought the remaining two potatoes, and the emperor personally approved them and named them 'Tu Yao'.
In the summer, the temperature gradually rises, and the white ash often goes to the potato field, and his hands reach into the soil to feel the growth of the potatoes.
She also deliberately dug out a basket and asked people to send it to the Chu family's old house.
Liu received something from his daughter with tears in his eyes, so he gave some to the two old ones first, and the rest of the family divided one into one, and finally he only had two left.
This year, Changshan County made Chu Heng completely enter the field of vision of the people, and she found a kind of grain that can be used as a staple food and has a yield of 1,000 catties per mu!
In the hot summer, when the surroundings were full of people, she led people to turn out all the potatoes, put them in baskets one by one, and weighed them.
The people silently counted in their hearts, and when they saw that 1,100 catties of grain were produced in that acre of land, everyone was shocked!
If your family also planted an acre of land, it would be enough for the whole family to eat for more than half a year!
Even the businessmen who were doing business couldn't sit still, and they came to the county government to inquire how they could buy these 'taro' seeds.
The white ash let people go into the capital to report the news, and sent it along with the potatoes, which was dug up under the gaze of all the people, and the entire Changshan County could testify for her, and she didn't even throw away the seedlings, so that people were locked in the cellar, waiting for the court to come and inquire.
The reaction of the ministers in the court was even more violent, and many ministers felt that this was fake, how could there be such a high yield of grain?
"Nonsense! It can be proved by this incident that a woman is not able to be an official at all, and dares to boast so much for the sake of merit..."
"I don't know how Lord Chu taught her daughter, she is not good at teaching her husband and children at home, how should it end up if she causes a big incident now?"
"I don't know how many people have been deceived by her, Your Majesty, this person must be severely punished!"
However, when the guards carried baskets of potatoes into the main hall, the ministers were silent.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department leaned over and touched it, and cut it with the guard's knife to observe the freshness, "Your Majesty, there is still air-dried soil on it, and the earth-colored soil is soaked into the skin, it doesn't look like a fake, and it's very fresh." ”
The emperor stepped down from the dragon chair, inspected it himself under the gaze of the courtiers, and finally clapped his hands and praised, "Good! Chu Aiqing is really the pillar of the country! ”
Someone tentatively stepped on it, "Your Majesty, you can't be sure that this is true now, right?" Maybe she deliberately buried people in the ground..."
"A few days ago, she brought me a few and asked me to name this thing, and I remember very well that this must have been newly planted."
The emperor was so sure that the ministers could only suppress the doubts in their hearts, and the head of the household immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty, if it's true, this is a big deal!" If all the families planted this..."
"Soil taro, I give the name soil taro."
"If every family is planted with taro, won't everyone be full, there will be no beggars on the street, and the people will have enough food and clothing, this is God bless Huaxuan!"
The ministers shouted together, "God bless Huaxuan!" ”
The emperor ordered his confidant Wang to enlist the imperial history to carry the taro to Changshan County to see with his own eyes how it was planted and whether there was any false report of the yield.
