Chapter 302: Jiangnan Patrol
These ministers are too proud of their status to dig sweet potatoes themselves.
At this time, the physically strong General Zhou came out, and he was very excited. He prefers to believe that there is such a high-yielding crop. His family was poor, and everyone else starved to death. In the end, he had no choice but to join the army and fight for his own path in the army. The current soldier still can't forget the feeling of hunger.
Zhou Yi stood up and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, can you let the last general see if this is true?"
"Yes." Emperor Qi Shun knew Zhou Yi's past, and he was disciplined and rigorous. At this time, he stood up and wanted to see the truth.
The guards cut the basket in half. Zhou Yi broke it with his hand, allowing the soil to show its roots.
Zhou Yi peeled off the yellow and black soil outside with both hands, revealing the intact sweet potato roots. He looked closely and it was a complete co-growth, not a hoax.
Zhou Yi was very excited, knelt on the ground with a sweet potato in his hand and said, "Back to the emperor, this sweet potato is more than ten catties." One acre of land can grow about seven or eight hundred plants, and the yield per mu can reach 5,000 catties. This should be true. ”
When others heard this, they didn't care about court etiquette, and they all came over and pointed to the sweet potatoes.
Lord Ann walked over and took a closer look. "Hearing is false, seeing is believing. If he hadn't seen it locally, Lao Chen still couldn't believe it. The old minister begged the emperor to let the minister go to Jiangnan to verify in person. If each mu can really produce 5,000 catties, it is the auspicious Rui of Daqi. ”
Emperor Qi Shun waited for Lord An's words, "I agree." ”
The basket at the back was also opened, and everyone wanted to go and see it, believing that the plant was highly productive.
Those old ministers, who said that Emperor Qi Shun's throne was not coming from the right way and that the world was in trouble, they couldn't believe it. At the same time, at the same time, please play and prepare to form a group to go to the south.
Emperor Qi Shun wished for them to hurry up and immediately allowed them to go to Jiangnan.
In addition, Emperor Qi Shun's most trusted minister, Gonggong Li, also left. If this is the case, he reads the edict in public and rewards everyone. If it is false, it shall be beheaded for deceit.
Gonggong Li and Empress Qi's younger brother Qi Fei, along with several officials of Dasi Nong, as well as those old ministers who only knew how to argue all day long, went on the road together.
Qin Cha Zhang Zhao became more familiar with the local area. He continued to work hard and returned.
Emperor Qi Shun also ordered that except for some seeds left for the locals, the rest should be transported away at the price of five wen and one catty given by Zhang Zhao.
It's true, and there are other rewards.
Set off today, day and night, and don't make a mistake.
Luckily, the weather was nice and there was no rain along the way. The road is good and the speed is faster. But because the old minister is older, the speed is a little slower.
Qin Cha Zhang Zhao thought in his heart that the late-ripening sweet potatoes could be harvested in half a month, which should be timely.
This time, he was grateful to Shen Yunxi, who was an unusual woman. He became more and more curious, what other surprises could Shen Yunxi give him?
The county ordered Lord Lu to worry that the sweet potatoes were ripe, so he didn't dig in the ground. He came into the field to see them. He found that the sweet potatoes were still in good condition and continued to wait for the people from the capital.
Luckily, he received an urgent letter for six hundred miles, and the adults were already on their way and would arrive soon.
Lu County Ling called Tian Ergou, Shen Yunxi, and Tian Village Chief, and asked carefully: "Can these sweet potatoes be dug three days late?"
