Chapter 364: Auspicious Rainfall from the Sky!
Liu Zhiheng was very proud and wanted to raise his head and chest, but unfortunately his huge belly went first.
But he didn't have that much to worry about, and he was so excited right now!
You know, there are a total of 500 acres of land here, including 50 acres of potatoes and 450 acres of corn, which were planted in the spring until the harvest is about to be harvested, and he has been following them from beginning to end.
It's all because of these grains.
When it was finally time to harvest, how could he not be excited!
"Master Hou, can you start harvesting?" Liu Zhiheng asked.
Hou Ye nodded and said: "Let people measure strictly, one acre of potatoes and one acre of corn, and weigh them on the spot after harvesting." ”
"Yes!" Liu Zhiheng rolled up his sleeves, took a few people and began to pull the rope to measure.
Li Zhensheng and Li Laosi also jumped off the ridge to help.
Soon, two square pieces of land were measured.
Everyone worked together, breaking corn, cutting stalks, and even peeling corn kernels on the spot.
The potato seedlings are also thrown aside after cutting, and the plough stick goes down to the ground, and the ridges are directly turned over, and the round potatoes are exposed to the skylight.
Even the Hou Ye tucked up the long shirt, carried the basket, and picked up the potatoes together.
There are many people who are good at work, the Liu family's trustworthy steward and the marquis's personal soldiers, dozens of Wu Yangyang, all do it together, and after more than half an hour, the corn stalks, corn cobs and corn kernels are clearly distinguished.
The potatoes were also divided into sizes and packed into black-out sacks.
The two stewards brought the big name up, and the corn kernels weighed out 700 catties, that is, about seven quintals per mu!
Potatoes are nearly 2,000 catties, which is about 20 quintals per mu!
Everyone looked at the mess all over the ground and fell silent.
Suddenly, a poor little steward fell to his knees and cried loudly, "Auspicious from heaven! Woo, I'm not afraid of going hungry again! Woo, my mother is starving to death! How did such good food appear, and how many people could live earlier! ”
"Auspicious rain from heaven! Auspicious from the sky! ”
Everyone seemed to be ignited by crying, and their hands danced with joy!
Some people hugged each other and jumped, some knelt and kissed the land, and some people held food bags and didn't let go!
People take food as the sky, and eating a full stomach is the most simple and urgent desire of all people.
With such a high yield of good food, everyone will never be afraid of starvation in the future!
Hou Ye grabbed a handful of corn pellets, and his face was red with excitement!
These hundreds of acres of grain in front of us will become tens of thousands of acres next year!
The pace of recovering half of the rivers and mountains will never have to stop because there is no food!
Li Zhensheng also breathed a long sigh of relief, this year, no matter where he was, he was thinking about these new grains.
After all, this new grain was brought back by him from the south, and it was also the hope that their Li family would add wings to take off, and it was the strongest armor to protect the whole family!
In the future, whoever grows corn and potatoes will have to accept the love of their Li family, if they are bullied to the Li family, they will be ungrateful and will be spurned by everyone!
He took a deep breath and asked, "Master Hou, are you going to report it?"
Hou Ye nodded, "Load me a few potatoes and a few catties of corn, and I will enter the palace to report the good news!" You don't have to prepare to take over, just work with peace of mind. ”
Liu Zhiheng and Li Zhensheng understood, and hurriedly responded, "Don't worry, Master Hou, we are here!" ”
Liu Zhiheng is a businessman on weekdays, and he is best at figuring out people's hearts.
He took the little steward to arrange it carefully, and actually cut seven or eight straws with corn cobs, tied them firmly, and let Hou Ye's personal soldiers carry them.
The potatoes were also pulled out with the potato seedlings, and three or four were plucked and put into the basket.
In this way, anyone who has long eyes, as long as he sees it, will be shocked by the high yield of new grain, which is much stronger than the simple number of reports!
Li Zhensheng couldn't help but give Liu Zhiheng a thumbs up, Liu Zhiheng was proud, raised his head and laughed.
The streets of Xindu have always been overcrowded, because of the influx of a large number of people and wealthy families in Jiangbei, it is difficult to find a house in Xindu, even if it is not easy to stand for a while.
On this day, the court meeting was held, and the entrance to the palace was crowded with carriages and horses.
The servants of each family were waiting for their masters to disperse, and occasionally gossiped to each other, but they were also comfortable.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, breaking the silence.
Soon, more than a dozen fast horses stopped in front of the palace gate, and the man took out a gold medal and compared it with the Praetorian Guards guarding the gate, and the palace gate was immediately opened, and the horse team quickly ran in.
Everyone was amazed and discussed.
"What's going on, did the barbarians from Jiangbei come over?"
"Can't you, didn't you just win the battle and drive the barbarians out for hundreds of miles?"
"I can't tell, the one who won the gold medal just now is Xintinghou!"
"There are still people who carry branches and baskets on their backs, and even if there is a war, they will not come back with these to ask for help......
Everyone was talking lively, but they were also worried and looked at the palace gate.
I hope someone will come out and make it clear.
As a result, half an hour later, the palace door opened again.
It was still the Marquis of Xinting who ran out first with his own soldiers, but he was followed by ...... Bright yellow chariot!
Is this the emperor out of the palace?!
Everyone was shocked.
What the hell is going on, the emperor is out of the palace!
But before they could figure it out, the masters of the various families had already run out of breath, jumped directly into the carriage, and shouted: "Quick, quick, keep up with the royal chariot!" Go to Yunhe Town! ”
Yunhe Town?
Some coachmen don't know where Yunhe Town is, but if they follow the team, they will definitely not be wrong.
But there are also local drivers who know about Yunhe Town, so they are even more puzzled.
It's just a small town, I haven't heard of any natural treasures or any outstanding people living in seclusion, what are the emperors and ministers going to do?
Soon, the entire Xindu was shocked by the emperor's sudden trip, and the ministers followed.
Some of them were bold, so they followed up to see the excitement at that time.
The timid only stand at the gate of the city and talk about it!
Dozens of miles away, it was supposed to take two or three hours to arrive, but this time, it only took an hour.
Because the emperor was anxious, he changed his fast horse not far from the city.
It's good that the ministers can ride horses, but those who can't ride can only stare dryly.
But fortunately, they still had guards or stewards, and the two of them rode and reluctantly chased after them.
Yunhe Town, on the Zhuangzi of the Liu family.
Liu Zhiheng, Li Zhensheng, Li Laosi and others harvested another seven or eight acres of corn, and they were tired enough to choke, and after lunch, they relied on the corn stalks, consumed food, basked in the sun, and blew the autumn breeze.
Suddenly hearing a noise, several people stood on the straw stack and looked at it, they were all busy.
The first to arrive were the emperor and the officials of the Agriculture and Forestry Department, especially the officials of the Agriculture and Forestry Department, whose hats ran away and their clothes were in disarray, but they didn't care about anything, and rushed directly to the field, "Is this corn?" Is this what a potato is? Is there really a yield of seven quintals and twenty quintals per mu? ”
The emperor also personally broke off a big corn cob from the stalk, and he was excited, "Hurry up and measure the land, I want to watch the grain in person!" ”
Liu Zhiheng, Li Zhensheng and others didn't even have time to kowtow, so they hurriedly got busy.
Soon, the corn and potato fields that had not been harvested were measured out of one acre each......
