Early the next morning, Wang Xin set up the carriage, Wang Fang's came in to invite Yunqing, Daiyu sisters and brothers heard that they were going to work in the field, they didn't know the hard work, they had to quarrel together, Yunqing had no choice but to agree, took them to the car, and Fang Dayong and Fang Rui each drove an ox cart, Daiyu and Moyu's little maids followed, and a group of more than a dozen people went to the field.

When they arrived at the place, several men were the main force of the work, and the stems and leaves of the potatoes had already been processed in advance, and now they only had to turn them out of the soil and put them in the basket, so the men turned the potatoes in front, Yunqing took a few women to load the basket in the back, Daiyu and Moyu were also busy, they all did it, and those maids did not dare to be idle, and they all began to work.

It's a pity that less than half of the people who really have the strength are busy for half a morning before they finish harvesting the potatoes of an acre of land, and both cars are full.

"Dao Chief, this land is a high-grade field, should we also harvest one mu of low-grade fields, so as to make a comparison?" Fang Rui asked.

Yunqing looked at the sun, and then looked at the group of people who were tired and gray-faced, especially the two children, whose clothes were dirty, their hair was messy, their faces were red, and their hands and faces were covered with dirt. Do you still want to work in the fields? ”

Daiyu sighed decently: "It turns out that farming is so hard, no wonder it is said in "Compassion for Nong" that 'who knows that Chinese food on the plate is hard work', and I will never waste food in the future." Mo Yu nodded as if a chicken pecked at her next to her.

Yun Qing smiled, she had been busy all morning, and she could understand this truth, even if she didn't come in vain, she was reluctant to be too tired of them, so she said, "Go back, you don't have to take the rest." Send a post to Governor Xu in the afternoon and ask him to bring someone to verify. ”

Fang Rui agreed, and the group packed up their things and went back, before they reached the Xuanzhen Temple, they saw Wang Fang's footsteps hurriedly coming towards him, and when he saw Yun Qing, he didn't wait to pant evenly, and hurriedly said: "Dao Chief, go back quickly!" The governor and the prefect came with a guard of honor, saying that there is the emperor's will and reward, so you should go back and receive the decree quickly! As he spoke, his face was full of excitement and joy.

Yun calculated the time, and couldn't help but slander that this will was slow enough, but his face was silent, let Wang Fangshi get in the car, slightly speed up, and after going back, he first changed into a more formal robe, and then went to the main hall of Xuanzhen Temple to receive the order.

A group of people were standing there, at the front were Governor Zhou and Governor Xu, they were accompanied by two people they didn't know, one was in his forties, wearing a scarlet official uniform with Yun Yan embroidered on it, and the other was white and beardless, he was the chamberlain in the palace, and when he saw Yun Qing coming, he had a smile on his face, and Governor Zhou had the highest official position, but he took a half step back, letting the eye-catching official stand at the front.

The official said that the emperor had an edict, so everyone bowed down and listened solemnly, and wrote a lot of praise for Yunqing in the edict, saying that she was profound, benevolent, respectful, merciful, and educated, and worried for the king, etc., and gave a box of various Taoist books, a number of gold and silver cloths, and a plaque of "Xuanzhen Temple" written by the emperor himself.

did not mention Qin Keqing or Prince Yizhong for half a word.

Yun Qing didn't think much about it, and took the order, mainly to take down the original plaque and replace it with the one given by the emperor, and after a busy time, he took everyone to the side hall to drink tea, and after a series of politeness, compliments, flattery and relations, the two heralds completed the task, were politely sent out of the door, and left with their guard of honor.

Governor Xu took a step behind, and smiled and arched his hand towards Yunqing: "Disrespectful, I didn't expect that Daoist Yun is such a person with hands and eyes, when he went out, he registered in front of the emperor, and in the future, I will ask the Taoist to help the mansion say a few beautiful words......"

Joke Riyu with three points serious.

Yun Qing said: "I just have something to invite my lord, so you can move and take you to see something." ”

Governor Xu followed Yun Qing and came to the pile of potatoes pulled back, Yun Qing pointed at it casually and said: "This is a potato harvested from one acre of land, it is estimated that there are about two thousand catties, which can be eaten as a vegetable or as a staple food, I think adults should be interested......

Before Yun Qing finished speaking, Governor Xu's face changed, his breathing became short, and he asked repeatedly, "How much is the yield per mu?" Is there really two thousand pounds? Can it really be a staple food, and can you have a full stomach after eating? ”

"These in front of adults, we have just pulled back from the field, the output of the superior field is definitely two thousand catties, the middle and lower fields, the output will be reduced, but there are too many, potatoes as the staple food, can be boiled and eaten, can also be made into potato flour, it will definitely be full, stir-fry is also delicious, I have a recipe here, adults can try it......"

"I don't know how much this soil and potatoes have been planted? Do you want this government to help you offer it? Governor Xu asked again.

Yun Qing planned it in the morning, and said without thinking: "There are about sixty acres in total, and there are two other high-yield crops, each with sixty acres, one is called sweet potato, and the other is called corn, it will take another month or so to harvest, and I am not sure how much the yield is, these can be handed over to the adults, as for how to deal with them, it is all up to the adults to decide, I have no opinion." ”

Governor Xu was excited, and bowed his hand to Yun Qingyi: "If the yield of these crops is so high, it is really a blessing for all the people in the world, and this government will thank the Taoist on their behalf!" The Taoist chief and rest assured, everything will be handed over to this mansion, and this mansion will definitely play His Majesty as it is, and will not let anyone covet the merits of the Taoist chief. ”

Yun Qing didn't do it for merit, but he didn't have to talk to Governor Xu, an outsider, just nodded, and watched him excitedly come to Governor Zhou, and the two talked all the way.

After that, those lands were surrounded by the people of the government, Yun Qing said that it was all up to the Xu Governor's Mansion, so he really ignored it, but was more concerned about her rice and wheat, and urged Fang Rui to hire a group of people to harvest the crops in the fields and go home.

The surrounding farmers originally wanted to wait for two more days, but seeing them in such a hurry, most of them followed the action, and they were busy for three or four days, which was regarded as the summer grain harvest, and the few people who realized it afterwards were more unlucky, they were just about to harvest, and it rained, and it was not sunny for seven or eight days in a row, and the grain was ruined a lot, which made people feel distressed.

After the statistics of summer grain production came out, all the peasant households who had listened to the arrangements of the government at the beginning had increased their grain production, and the joy of these people was needless to say, and those who were rebellious and lazy, watching the bumper harvest of other people's families, they were still the same as in previous years, and their hearts were indescribable, and they all regretted it.
