Chapter 147: Something Seems Wrong
Wei Zhongxian moved a large and comfortable seat for Zhu Youxiao, right next to the sweet potato field.
The official in charge of handling the affairs of Tuntian came over.
He bowed to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, now that the people are ready, are we digging sweet potato fields now?" ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
"Then let's start digging!"
The official arched his hand and retreated, shouting: "Your Majesty has an edict, excavate!" ”
Hui Shiyang and the others, who were hidden in the group of officials, laughed secretly in their hearts when they saw this scene.
This Zhu Youxiao is still pretending to be calm.
I don't know if it's until these sweet potatoes are dug up that he will know what it means to be humiliated.
Qian Qianyi, who was in front of the people, also clenched the pen in his hand, and planned to write hard at any time to record Zhu Youxiao's ugliness at that time.
They couldn't wait to see Zhu Youxiao's discredited.
In the past few years, the Donglin Party has been suffering for a long time.
And Zhu Youxiao did things without leakage, so they never had a chance to fight back.
In the past few times, the ministers of the Donglin Party went to fight back, but not only were they unsuccessful, but a large number of Donglin Party officials were killed.
Even the land that is now in the hands of these people. The name is Huangzhuang, but in fact, it is the fertile land that Zhu Youxiao obtained by copying the homes of those Donglin Party officials.
Now they finally have a chance to take revenge on this Zhu Youxiao.
The people began to dig.
Many of the people around are veterans of farming, and they can also see that the crops in these fields have been growing here, not that they were specially dug up from other places in order to cope with the emperor's inspection.
Otherwise, the distribution of potato vines will not be so uniform, and the sweet potato leaves will not be so vigorous.
Soon, a large number of people joined in, dug out cages of sweet potatoes from the field, and piled them directly in the flat ground.
When a local sweet potato was pulled from the field, the surrounding people were shocked.
Under a sweet potato vine, there are several large sweet potatoes hanging from them.
Looking at it this way, although it can't be said that there are more than ten catties of sweet potatoes attached to this vine, but three or four catties, it is definitely indispensable.
Especially the people who farm, they can't help but look forward to the next situation.
If this is the case under every sweet potato vine, then it will no longer be impossible to produce thousands of catties per mu.
The people discussed without scruples, and finally reached the ears of Hui Shiyang and others.
His face was red and white, even a little embarrassed.
He didn't expect that these things called sweet potatoes would really have such a large yield.
His heart had already begun to tense, his eyes fixed on the fields, the backs of his fingers and the whiteness of his hands.
Hui Shiyang only hoped that the kind of thing just now was an accident, only that one sweet potato vine had such a large yield, and under the other sweet potato vines, there should not be such a large yield at all.
As a result, Hui Shiyang was disappointed.
Under each sweet potato vine, there are at least two or three catties of sweet potatoes hanging from them.
The sweet potatoes were cleared out and pushed directly to the ground, and soon piled up into a small mountain.
More sweet potatoes are still being excavated, and the people are boiling, and in this field, a hill of sweet potatoes has been dug up.
Some people have estimated that there are at least one or two hundred catties in it.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the two hundred catties of sweet potatoes and sighed.
After all, there is no chemical fertilizer in this era, and he does not have the technology to produce chemical fertilizer on a large scale, and it is unlikely that he can get the relevant equipment.
Otherwise, the yield of these sweet potatoes can be much higher.
After all, in later generations, with the blessing of chemical fertilizers, the yield of these sweet potatoes can reach 8,000 to 10,000 catties.
Even when Zhu Youxiao found out this information in his previous life, he had to shout: "Terrifying? ”
The people in the sweet potato fields are still starting to dig sweet potatoes.
Piles and piles of sweet potatoes were dug up.
After an hour and a large number of farmers joined, the sweet potato was completely dug up.
A full acre of sweet potato fields, not a single cent, not a lot.
All the officials and people were completely shocked when they saw this mountain of sweet potatoes.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao said something to Li Qiyuan, the head of the household next to him, and Li Qiyuan retreated.
Subsequently, Xu Xianchun also came to report, "Your Majesty, the 5,000 men and horses of the new army have gathered five miles away from here. ”
Zhu Youxiao shouted in his heart: "It's good!" ”
He had exactly what he needed to do with the Five Thousand Army.
Zhu Youxiao gave another order in Xu Xianchun's ear.
When Xu Xianchun heard his orders, he was very surprised, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not very safe!" ”
"These 5,000 men and horses are all here to protect Your Majesty's safety."
"If you send him to do such a trivial matter, if something really happens here, it will be difficult for these soldiers to gather, I am afraid that they will miss a big thing."
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said undoubtedly: "These are pure and good people here, if they wanted to make trouble, they would have started to make trouble a long time ago, there are these three thousand warrior battalions of people and horses, even if there are really any bad people, then what does it matter." ”
"The soldiers and horses of the warrior battalion have been blocking for at least an hour or two, can't the men of your new army gather for an hour or two?"
"If that's the case, I'm disappointed."
When Xu Xianchun heard this, he had nothing to say.
Because in an hour or two, his new army soldiers will surely be able to assemble.
Now that Zhu Youxiao's order has been issued, he has no choice but to hurriedly go down and issue an order to the soldiers of the new army.
After Zhu Youxiao finished ordering Xu Xianchun, he turned his face, but saw that the officials and people around him were all looking at him.
He instantly understood what these people meant, smiled, and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's weigh it. ”
One by one, the big scales moved out, and directly in front of all the officials and people, they began to weigh the sweet potatoes.
Hui Shiyang didn't have any experience in Hetian, and when he saw this, Zhu Youxiao actually ordered to weigh these sweet potatoes in front of all the people.
The last glimmer of hope instantly rose in his heart.
He hoped that the weight of these sweet potatoes was not enough, even if it was dozens or hundreds of catties less, it could still satisfy the last trace of stubbornness in his heart.
He can also tell himself that he didn't lose.
However, there are some officials who were born poor, or who have planting experience and understand the difficulties of people's livelihood, in fact, they have already seen it.
The weight of the sweet potatoes placed here is definitely not less than 1,000 catties, and it may even reach about 2,000 catties.
Under the gaze of nearly 100,000 people, these officials did not play any careful thoughts, and they all weighed honestly.
Finally, the last pile of sweet potatoes was weighed.
An official came to Zhu Youxiao and shouted: "Back to Your Majesty, the weighing of acres of sweet potatoes has ended." ”
