Li Heng was instructed to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the north, as a noble prince in the eyes of the people, he personally went to the ground to plant, and was very down-to-earth to eat and drink with the people, and everywhere he went, the people were full of praise for him.

Ye Shi, who had traveled almost the entire Dayi Dynasty, and King Jin, a farmer who had been facing the sky and facing the ground for most of the year, wholeheartedly used his hands on the loess and wrote harvest poems, met Ye Shi brilliantly.

The two hit it off at first sight, and the cooperation was pleasant, and one was responsible for taking the apprentice medical girl of the Rejuvenation Hall to plant cowpox from house to house to prevent smallpox. One is responsible for bringing his own guards, cooperating with the household registration officials in charge of the local yamen, putting disaster relief materials to ensure that every household can grow cowpox, and everyone has 30 catties of rations to survive the disaster period.

The smallpox crisis has just been lifted, and since June, the drought in Huainan has continued to develop, although it is not as dry as the ground, but it is just when the rice is filling, which directly leads to the reduction of early rice yield by more than half. Fortunately, Li Heng promoted a bumper harvest of sweet potato planting, and a large number of sweet potatoes were sent to Huainan from several border counties, which greatly relieved the pressure of the imperial court for disaster relief.

The Holy Lord Long Yan Dayue personally summoned Li Heng and Ye Shi back to Beijing to receive the reward.

Li Heng, who has been running around for more than half a year, is dry and tanned, and Ye Shi, who is overworked and also looks like a malnourished indigenous person in Africa, low-key all the way, secretly observing the situation in various counties, and both arrived in Shangjing.

The Holy Lord himself went out of the city to greet him as a sign of his attention. The Son of Heaven's honor guard swaggered all the way to Donghua Gate, attracting hundreds of people to follow and watch.

Li Heng and Ye Shi are about the same size, because Li Heng is not wearing princely clothes, the clothes of the two people do not feel much different, and both of them are equally dark and shriveled, the Holy Lord couldn't tell who was who for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Tian Dazhong was empathetic on the side, and took the initiative to take a step forward to help Li Heng, with a distressed face: "Why did His Royal Highness King Jin lose weight like this?" ”

Li Heng lost his mother since he was a child, although he was raised by Queen Jiang's side, but when he was four years old, Queen Jiang weighed it again and again, in order to keep him away from the harem strife, he still sent him to Huben Mountain to practice martial arts. This is also the reason why the King of Jin trusts Zheng Qiyan so much, when he was in Huben Mountain, if it wasn't for Zheng Qiyan to protect him with all his might, King Jin, who was alias Mu Ziheng, would never have been so comfortable.

Li Heng was named King of Jin from the age of four to sixteen and sent to the fief for more than ten years, when he was crowned king, he met with the Holy Lord, so the father-son relationship between him and the Holy Lord was already very weak.

Li Heng had never expected the Holy Lord, and naturally he was not disappointed. Moreover, he is now growing in his wings, the envelope of the officials of the previous dynasty, the bribery of the harem concubines and palace eunuchs, the expansion of the sphere of influence of the rivers and lakes, and the establishment of folk reputation are basically on the track, and the position of the emperor is not sure to be won, but there is still a certainty that he will not be able to retreat with one blow.

It doesn't matter what the Holy Lord's attitude is towards him now, because he knows very well that the Holy Lord has been undetected by the person he trusts the most, and the Holy Lord has only three years left to live after he reaches the sky, so what does he care about with a dying person?

Li Heng and the Holy Lord's father and son's filial piety, Ye Shi and the Holy Lord's monarchs and ministers were in harmony, and a team of people walked slowly to the palace with great friendship and joy, leaving a good impression that the people of Shangjing were virtuous and good at employing people.

After receiving the reward, Ye Shi, as soon as he left the palace gate, he kowtowed respectfully three times in the direction of the Pingning Marquis Mansion, and then walked to the Rejuvenation Hall in the capital.

Ye Shi always remembered what Jintong specially sent a personal maid to tell him: no matter whether the treatment for smallpox is useful or not, she must not be exposed. Subsequently, they were given so many prescriptions for the Ye family that had remarkable effects but very low cost. Not to mention that later Mr. Gongsun Wuji taught the famous Pharmacist Li, the medical classics written in his life, in the eyes of their Ye family, Jintong is the hero who can control the smallpox virus and minimize the harm this time.

Jin Tong himself did not take credit and gave all the credit to the Ye family, and he could only use this way to express his gratitude to Jin Tong for not being worth it.

However, after the matter spread, Ye Shi knelt and kowtowed to the northeast direction, and everyone in the world said that Ye Shi's doctor was benevolent, and he was saddened by the people who died in the time of the smallpox virus, and he had no time to treat them, so he knelt down in the direction of Fayuan Temple to pray for the health of these people who died in the future.

All of this did not affect Jintong at all, and she devoted all her energy to hoarding grain in Niutouzhuang. She remembered that the original Jintong told her: since the outbreak of smallpox, the Great Yi Dynasty has been plagued by natural disasters, smallpox has caused a large number of people to die, and the subsequent floods and droughts have also starved many people to death.

The cultivation of sweet potatoes has been taught by the King of Jin, and it has been proved that the yield per mu of sweet potatoes and the ability to adapt to the environment, this year, Niutouzhuang newly opened up two terraces, Jintong instructed Zhao Laosan to plant all sweet potatoes.

During the harvest, Jintong instructed Zhao Laosan to steam the sweet potatoes in poor condition and dry them to make dried sweet potatoes that are shelf-stable for future needs.

Jintong is so obsessed with hoarding food, even Zheng Qiyan can't figure it out, the secret guards he sent are only responsible for protecting Jintong, how to take care of Jintong's dowry, and the secret guards naturally don't dare to inquire clearly.

Niutouzhuang children are very masterful to see the death, Niutouzhuang this year is a bumper harvest, terraced fields that nearly 2,000 acres, all planted carefully cultivated, new varieties of sweet potatoes, the average yield per mu can reach 8,000 catties. This is one or two thousand catties higher than that vigorously promoted by King Jin, and the yield per mu is one or two thousand catties.

Jintong instructed Zhao Laosan to make basically all kinds of dried sweet potatoes, vermicelli, etc., which can be stored for a long time, and stuffed several granaries in Niutouzhuang to the brim. The child made a rough calculation and was startled, and the current grain storage in Niutouzhuang was enough for about a month's ration for the 400,000 army when they were fighting in southern Xinjiang.

The child knows that Zheng Qiyan has never instructed Jintong to store food, but why is Jintong crazy and how to hoard food? The child immediately and dutifully reported the matter to Zheng Qiyan.

This matter is not trivial, although Niutouzhuang has always been using the pretext of brewing wine to buy grain, and the external saying is also a pound of wine, and it must be more than a dozen catties of grain to brew successfully.

But Zheng Qiyan knows very well that "Wuliang Alcohol" is three catties of grain and one catty of wine, "Autumn Point Soldiers on the Battlefield" is five catties of grain and one catty of wine, "Taoyao" and "Hongyan Drunk" are all made of peaches, and there is no need for grains at all, so what is the purpose of Jintong to hoard grain so much? Zheng Qiyan felt that it was necessary for him to communicate with Jintong.
