Chapter 628: A Difficult Task

"Lord Liu said that you don't need to pay money, and you will send sweet potato seedlings to everyone free of charge."

Bai Dazhuang saw that there were people in the crowd who were interested in planting sweet potatoes, so he hurriedly informed everyone of the "welfare" of planting for free, and while telling everyone, he did not forget to mention that it was the decision of the prefect Liu Hong.

Liu Hong sat on the upper seat, and his originally frustrated emotions were soothed by Bai Dazhuang's attitude of not taking credit.

Liu Hong sighed in his heart, Bai Dazhuang really deserves to be famous for his kindness, this sweet potato obviously belongs to the Bai family, but he put all the credit on his prefect.

Liu Hong was a little embarrassed.

"Don't want any money?"

"Is this really a good thing?"

"Don't be a pit, right?"

"What kind of pit can it be, who dares to pit the village where the township lord of Furong is located."

As soon as everyone heard that the sweet potato seedlings would be sent to everyone for planting for free, it set off a big discussion, and many people were even smashed by the gratuitous surprise and did not believe that there was such a good thing.

"Can Lord Liu lie to everyone? Can the Furong Township Master pit everyone? Village Chief Zhao waved his hands and loudly explained everyone's doubts.

The Bai family planted sweet potatoes on a plot of land last year, but he didn't know it was a sweet potato at the time, and thought it was a melon seedling that didn't bear melons, and he also mocked Bai Dazhuang, a descendant who likes to handle crops, overturned.

I didn't expect people to grow such amazing crops quietly.

No wonder Bai Dazhuang didn't dare to speak out at that time, who dared to speak out, there was no government to protect this sweet potato, and it was estimated that it had already been stolen.

But in the final analysis, it is Xiao Fuyuan's credit, how old is she, she has been reading books for a few years, and she can still discover such an important crop from books.

It can be seen that sometimes it's not all a matter of luck, so many children in Shenshu Village who study in private schools are not as fond of reading as Xiao Fuyuan.

Village Chief Zhao looked at Xiao Fuyuan's eyes eagerly.

At the same time, he regretted a little in his heart, Xiao Fuyuan was about to go to the capital, with his advanced vision, he was afraid that Xiao Fuyuan would be resident in the capital from now on.

Before she left, Village Chief Zhao planned to let Xiao Fuyuan travel to every inch of the village, so that the whole village would be tainted with her good luck.

Village Chief Zhao had a lot of weight in the minds of the villagers, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the villagers stopped the discussion.

"There are two reasons why such a good crop is distributed to the villagers of Shenshu Village for planting, firstly, this sweet potato belongs to the owner of Furong Township, and she is willing to give it to everyone free of charge, and secondly, our Shenshu Village is a loyal and brave village sealed by the emperor, so naturally all good things must be given priority to our Shenshu Village."

In the eager eyes of the villagers, Lord Liu Hong explained the reason why the sweet potato seedlings were distributed to everyone for free, and the reason for promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes in Shenshu Village.

"The little round treasure is really good, it is a living treasure of our village. Since she was born, we have been blessed by her. Now I have brought us sweet potatoes, and I will not worship Buddha in the future, but only Xiao Yuanbao. Aunt Hu clasped her hands together and looked excited.

Whether others grow this sweet potato or not, she has to plant it.

She is now a die-hard fan of Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan has a great kindness to her, since she got close to the Bai family, her son's illness has not only healed, but he can also follow Bai Sanzhuang to become a guy on a merchant ship, and now his life is nourishing.

The son came back from Nanyang this time and brought more than 200 taels of silver, and everyone who said that he was close to him had broken the threshold of her family.

As soon as Aunt Hu spoke, the people in the village cast grateful glances at Xiao Fuyuan.

"In the end, it is our Furong Township Lord, who does not hide his selfishness at all, and distributes such good crops to everyone."

"That's not it, since it's a sweet potato found by Xiao Yuanbao, then I plan to take out an acre of land to plant it."

The atmosphere quickly became lively.

You have one acre, he has two acres, and everyone wants to calculate how much to plant.

Anyway, it's a white sweet potato seedling, and if you don't plant it, you won't plant it.

Coupled with the guarantee brought by Xiaofuyuan, a bumper harvest is in sight!

At this time, the current county magistrate of Yangfeng County, Lord Zhang, said: "It's not that everyone wants to plant as many seeds, after all, sweet potato seedlings are limited. ”

Most of the fertile land is still reserved for major crops such as wheat and corn, after all, sweet potatoes have just been planted, and Zhang is also worried that other people's land is not as good as Lao Bai's land can be planted with sweet potatoes.

Because other families don't have the Bai family, they have a little Fuyuan with their own gold fingers.

It's better to be on the safe side, just plant in those corners.

Besides, even if you want to plant it on a large scale, there are not enough seedlings!

This is also the meaning of the prefect Liu Hong.

This year, it will be promoted in Shenshu Village, and when farmers in the whole county see the harvest in Shenshu Village next year, they will not worry that they will not be willing to plant.

It is estimated that they will rush to plant at that time.

"Also, sweet potato seedlings are indeed given to everyone for free, but there are two conditions......" Lord Zhang became serious.

The villagers, who were still discussing hotly, immediately quieted down when they heard this.

What does it mean?

It wouldn't be that Fang Cai deliberately mobilized everyone's enthusiasm for free, and then suddenly asked for money or wheat and other staple grains to exchange.

If that's the case, you have to think about it.

The psychological activities of the people in the village began to fluctuate, and everyone waited nervously for Lord Zhang's next words.

"Don't worry." Master Zhang waved his hand, with a smile on his face, "The first condition, everyone must take it seriously and serve it carefully, and you can't fool it because the sweet potato seedlings are gratuitous." If any family finds out about this situation, it will not be the turn of this family to have such a good thing in the future. Secondly, when the sweet potato harvest is harvested in autumn, everyone is required to hand over one-fourth of the harvest, and the part handed in is reserved for next year's seedling seeds and promoted throughout the county. In addition, the four and one-half of the harvest that everyone paid was not paid for nothing, and this part of the grain can be deducted from the tax. ”

When the villagers heard that the conditions for free of charge turned out to be like this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if you hand in a quarter or a half of the sweet potato harvest, it is very cost-effective.

Anyway, the harvest in the col was average, and if you plant sweet potatoes to usher in a bumper harvest, even if you hand over half of it.

What's more, such a sweet crop is only afraid that only Shenshu Village can be planted this year, and Shenshu Village has seized the opportunity, and when next year's harvest will take this thing to Huaicheng and sell it to large families, or keep it for breeding and sell it to other villages, it will also be a lot of income!

On this day, with the blessing of sweet potatoes, it is a red fire visible to the naked eye.

The people of Shenshu Village are very optimistic about this, and they do not have the idea of "in case the planting is not successful".

Because it was a sweet potato discovered by Xiao Fuyuan, it was impossible not to succeed in planting it.

The swallow is so difficult to grow, and the seeds that Xiao Fuyuan finds can be planted alive.

Not to mention this sweet sweet potato!

"Okay, since everyone is willing to plant sweet potatoes, everyone will come to Lao Bai's house to receive sweet potato seedlings in a while." Liu Hong, Lord Liu said.

When Liu Hong decided to come to Shenshu Village, he was full of confidence and with the blessing of Xiao Fuyuan, he would definitely be able to promote it successfully in Shenshu Village.

Therefore, when he came, he brought the people from the Si Nong Department and the sweet potato seedlings, which were placed in the Bai family's courtyard at this time.

Originally, the people from the Si Agricultural Department also prepared a planting manual, but Liu Hong vetoed it.

Looking at the booklet full of planting matters, Liu Hong fell into deep thought, no wonder the people in the Si Agricultural Department are not as fruitful as Bai Dazhuang in cultivating crops, this is not down-to-earth at all.

There are a few rural farmers who are literate and can understand the essentials of planting.

Therefore, even if the people from the Si Nong Department rubbed their hands and decided to be on the front line in Shenshu Village and personally direct everyone to plant sweet potatoes, Liu Hong did not trust them.

Instead, it was decided to let Bai Dazhuang teach everyone.

"After we receive the seedlings, we have to trouble Da Zhuang to teach everyone how to plant and how to maintain." Lord Liu Hong gave Bai Dazhuang a difficult task.

The people in the Si Nong Department were not very happy, but there was no way, who let this sweet potato be cultivated by the old Bai family.

"Okay, that's not a big deal."

For Bai Dazhuang, who is eager to take root in the field, this "arduous" task is too simple.
