Chapter 320: Real Evidence
Not to mention a rural woman, even a girl who has been carefully cultivated by an aristocratic family, may not have such profound insight and courage.
Everyone sat down. Tian Xiuli came over with the melon that had been seeded and washed and put it on the table respectfully. "Adults, please use it slowly."
Qin sent Zhang Zhao to let the old ministers wash their hands and eat melons. "Take a break, wait a moment and have someone measure the size of the sweet potato field before you start digging. Adults can have people weigh them on the spot. ”
Some of them had just visited the sweet potato fields, especially the Dasi Nong. It can be concluded that this land has not been transplanted, but has grown here in the first place.
Dasi Nong did not rest, so he went to the door of other people's houses to see the sweet potato fields. After walking around, he was even more convinced that there was no fraud.
Qin sent Zhang Zhao to take a bunch of grapes himself, handed it to Lord Min and said, "My lord, this melon is cold." Don't eat it, eat some grapes. ”
Dasi Nong took half a bunch of grapes. He's in a good mood. "I want to eat melons and taste grapes. The grapes are dark purple. I used to eat green grapes. ”
Dasi Nong tasted it, and his eyes lit up. "This purple grape tastes good and sweet."
Shen Yunxi said with a smile: "If Lord Min likes this kind of grape, when he moves it down, he will give him two small grapes."
Master Min knew that these sweet potatoes were found by Mrs. Tian in front of him, and tried to plant them, so he kept praising Shen Yunxi and said, "Okay, I want to thank Mrs. Tian."
"Thank you, Lord Min." Shen Yunxi replied happily, respecting this black and thin big Si Nong even more.
At this time, Gonggong Li observed Shen Yunxi and thought that Mrs. Tian was indeed not an ordinary woman, as Qin Cha Zhang Zhao said. Even if the daughters of the big families in the capital could meet so many officials, they might not be so calm.
They drank water and ate melons.
The people of the capital and the officials of the Yamen in Shanyang County began to work. First measure the size of this sweet potato field, then determine that it is one acre, and then dig.
Lu Xianling's subordinates and short-term workers hired from the county seat were very good at digging sweet potatoes. In full view of everyone, throw off your arms and dig sweet potatoes.
There are a lot of people, and they are all skilled. Soon, large and small purple sweet potatoes were dug up, and the soil on them was removed.
Seeing that the sweet potatoes were almost identical to the sweet potato basket on the imperial court, Da Si Nong was completely convinced that Qin Cha Zhang Zhao was right.
When he remembered the poverty of his family as a child, his grandmother was starved to death. Dasi Nong couldn't help but feel sad. He knelt on a pile of sweet potatoes in the field and choked.
He couldn't help crying, so everyone looked at him.
At this time, Lord An was startled when he saw Da Si Nong crying like this. He hurriedly asked, "Lord Min, why are you crying?" The sweet potatoes have been dug up, so I should be happy. ”
Before, they had been skeptical of Qin Cha Zhang Zhao's words, but when they saw these sweet potatoes being dug up in front of them, they gradually believed it.
In the court, people with different political opinions often spray each other, wanting to jump up and point at each other's noses, but in real life, they are not enemies. Especially in the face of real evidence, they had to believe and acknowledge Zhang Zhao's contribution.
They can't oppose for the sake of opposing because they are wrong. Since the other side is right, what reason do they have against it?
