Chapter 497: Harvest
"That's right, that's right, I heard that this Yu Hua is the head of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and he can be trusted by His Majesty, that's ...... It seems that he is still a first-class official. Hearing this, someone with more insight said.
A first-class official!
Everyone was stunned when they heard the news, and some were even surprised that they could stuff an egg in their mouths.
They had heard that the biggest official was only the county order of Qipin, and the one they heard later was just the prefect of their Baiyue Mansion.
So, how could they not be surprised when they heard about Yu Hua's official position now.
As a result, everyone was even more surprised, they never expected that Yu Hua, who had lived in Ziluo's house for a long time and had always been low-key, would have such a big background.
Although they also knew that Yu Hua should have a lot of backgrounds before, but because Yu Hua has always been low-key, they don't hear much news from ordinary people, but they didn't expect Yu Hua to have such an identity.
So, after all kinds of exclamatory voices, the big guy began to envy and hate Ziluo and their brothers and sisters' luck was so good.
In the midst of all kinds of discussions, under the order of the representative of Zishu, Geng Yi and Geng Er took the officers and soldiers brought by Zhong Wannian and began to planing sweet potatoes.
Soon, with the help of officers and soldiers, the sweet potatoes in one acre of sweet potato fields were planed.
"Lord Yu, Lord Prefect, this sweet potato field has been cut up a whole acre of land, do you need to weigh it?" At this time, an entourage of Liang Governor's office came over and asked.
Where did Governor Liang dare to hold up in front of Yu Hua, and when he saw it, he hurriedly asked Yu Hua's opinion respectfully, "Lord Yu, ...... you look?"
"Let's weigh it, let everyone also see the yield of this sweet potato!" Yu Hua didn't understand the mind of Liang Zhifu, so he said.
At this time, Yu Hua's mood can be described as excited, although he has not yet weighed the yield of this sweet potato, but seeing the basket of sweet potatoes that have been planed out, he has already roughly guessed the yield of this sweet potato.
Therefore, at this time, his mood was not calmer than that of those officials such as the Liang Governor who dug out these sweet potatoes as soon as they saw an acre of land, and at this moment he also desperately wanted to know the yield of this sweet potato per mu.
So, as soon as Governor Liang's question ended, he immediately agreed to weigh the sweet potato.
With Yu Hua's instructions, Zishu, Zixuan, and Xiaoliu helped Geng Yi, Geng Er, and the entourage of Liang Governor's Mansion Under everyone's gaze, they quickly weighed the sweet potato yield of this acre of land.
"One...... One thousand two hundred and one pounds!"
As the master of the bookkeeper quickly dialed the abacus, after some calculations, he finally reported a number that stunned everyone in shock.
"What?" Hearing such a number reported by the main book, Zhong Wannian, the county commander, was the first to exclaim.
The other officials on the side, as well as Yu Hua and Liang Governor, were all shocked in the same way.
And the crowd of onlookers standing a little far away had already exploded, and the exclamations rang out, and there was a sensation all of a sudden!
There is nothing more joyful than a high-yield crop, so at this time, the onlookers are already boiling with excitement when they hear that the yield of thousands of catties per mu is already boiling.
It can be said that in addition to Ziluo, there is no crop with a yield of thousands of catties in their impressions, and the yield of an acre of land that they knew before is calculated according to 100 catties, and now there is a sudden appearance of sweet potatoes with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, how can they not be amazed.
This sweet potato was dug out under the eyes of everyone, and then weighed, even if the yield of this mu is extremely amazing, no one can doubt this fact.
For a while, everyone present was stunned by the fact of the high yield of sweet potatoes, of course, this also includes Zishu, Zixuan, and Xiaoliu. And Ziluo, of course, had expected this result before.
"Okay, okay, this is God bless us Daqi!" Governor Liang was the first to react and said in surprise.
"Lord Yu, you see, if this sweet potato can be popularized in our Great Qi Dynasty, then there will be no more people who have not eaten after our Great Qi Dynasty. After the excitement, Governor Liang then looked at Yu Hua and reported.
"Indeed, indeed it is!" At this time, Yu Hua was still a little excited, and nodded when he heard this, "The old man also plans to report the fact of the high yield of this sweet potato to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can promote this sweet potato in our Great Qi Dynasty." ”
"Lord Yu is wise, and this high yield of sweet potatoes can be known, which is more than Lord Yu. When Governor Liang heard this, he took the opportunity to pat Yu Hua's ass.
Hearing what Governor Liang said, of course, the officials behind also nodded and echoed, praising Yu Hua's contributions.
Yu Hua didn't know that the officials wanted to pat him on the back, although he didn't agree with the actions of these officials, but he also knew the truth that if the water was clear, there would be no fish, so he didn't think anything about it.
In addition, he was happy in his heart on this harvest day, so he didn't care about these things, but he felt that it was necessary for him to let everyone know that this sweet potato had the credit of their brothers and sisters.
So, after the officials stopped flattering, Yu Hua continued: "Speaking of which, the old man, we can know this sweet potato thanks to Brother Shu and their brothers and sisters, if it weren't for Brother Shu and their brothers and sisters who first discovered this sweet potato, how could the old man know that sweet potatoes can be eaten and have a high yield." So in the matter of sweet potatoes, the old man did not dare to take credit. ”
Yu Hua's small words, the officials also nodded again and again when they heard the words, where did they dare to ignore Ziluo and their brothers and sisters.
So, under the leadership of Governor Liang, all the officials also echoed Yu Hua and began to praise Ziluo and her brothers and sisters.
"Young Master Dong, you brothers and sisters are all good, this used to be rice and fish farming, and now sweet potatoes, you have made great contributions to the agriculture of our Great Qi Dynasty. Governor Liang praised Zishu again and again.
"Yes, yes, Young Master Dong, you brothers and sisters have made a great contribution this time. As soon as Liang Zhifu's words fell, a government official standing next to Liang Zhifu also praised him, and gave a thumbs up.
"I heard that Young Master Dong and Second Young Master Dong were both admitted to this autumn exam at this time, and Young Master Dong was even admitted to Xie Yuan, that is, the third master Dong also had the fame of showing talent at a young age, this is really a hero out of a young man. ”
"That's right, that's right, Master Dong, you brothers and sisters are all young and promising, and your future is immeasurable. ”
......
For a while, the words of this praise for Zishu, Zixuan, and Xiaoliu were endless.
And Zishu heard this, of course, he also modestly shirked the credit on the side, and modestly said that everyone praised it falsely.
I have to say that with many years of experience in shopping malls and experience, Zishu at this time is called a person who advances and retreats with ease in the face of praise or questions from officials.
At this time, Zishu's calmness and demeanor made everyone around him admire.
At this time, in addition to Yu Hua, who was already very familiar with Ziluo and her brothers and sisters, Liang Zhifu and other officials couldn't help but be amazed by Zishu's performance.
In their impression, this is that many children of big families who have been cultivated since childhood also have many demeanors that are not as good as Zishu.
The officials saw that Zishu could be so outstanding as a farmer's child, and that a small village could produce such a talented character.
For a while, they were also amazed.
So, after seeing Zishu's demeanor, the officials' appreciation of Zishu was even more sincere.
After some mutual sycophants, and after some greetings, Governor Liang suddenly remembered the origin of this sweet potato, and couldn't help but ask Zishu, who was standing beside him, "Speaking of which, how did you brothers and sisters discover this sweet potato, Young Master Dong?"
"Lord Hui, this sweet potato has been planted in some places in the southernmost prefectures of our Great Qi Dynasty, and we also got this sweet potato from a friend, so we learned to plant it, and it is thanks to the arrival of more than one adult, we can grow this sweet potato so smoothly. Zishu replied.
Although, Zishu knew that Yu Hua was not a person who cared about merit or anything, otherwise he would not have emphasized the role of their siblings in the discovery of sweet potatoes in front of everyone just now. But Yu Hua didn't care about the credit, and he couldn't ignore Yu Hua, so he still said Yu Hua's role in it at this time.
Hearing what Zishu said, Governor Liang and the officials of course also praised Ziluo and their brothers and sisters, and praised Yu Hualai at the same time.
Next, because he wanted to know the yield of all the sweet potatoes, and it was not too early to harvest the sweet potatoes at this time, the big guy planed the remaining sweet potatoes of almost an acre of land.
In the end, Ziluo and the others harvested a total of more than 2,000 catties of sweet potatoes.
There are only about two acres of sweet potatoes in two acres and two catties of sweet potatoes, and I have to say that today's big guys are deeply shocked by the high yield of sweet potatoes.
The atmosphere on the field is even more lively.
After harvesting the sweet potato, everyone saw Ziluo and the others bring the sweet potato seedlings, so Liang Zhifu asked and learned that the sweet potato could also be used to feed the pigs.
For a while, many officials and ordinary people were even more excited.
After the sweet potato harvest was finished and the Liang prefect and other officials left, the news that Ziluo's family had planted a thousand catties of sweet potatoes per mu spread very quickly throughout the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, and soon spread to all parts of the town.
For a while, everyone was even more envious and jealous of Ziluo and her brothers and sisters.
"Hey, hey, a few brothers and sisters of the Dong family, and a few brothers and sisters of the Dong family, not long ago, the Dong family came out with a double lifter, and now what kind of sweet potatoes are planted, I heard that those big officials are here and the brothers and sisters of the Dong family have made a great contribution this time. I see, the brothers and sisters of the Dong family are going to be sent. ”
"That's not what I said, the brothers and sisters of the Dong family have been out of the country for a long time, but now they are getting more and more powerful. When someone heard about it, they immediately retorted.
"Why are the brothers and sisters of the Dong family so smart, this is not only the first discovery of rice field fish farming, but also the brothers have taken the Xiucai exam, and the family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is out of this double lift. It's really unconvincing. ”
For a while, the ten miles and eight villages around Ziluo and them were all these voices of envy and jealousy.
