Meng Changqing stood up and thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Yang." ”

When the general judge came over with the account of the library, he said: "A few days ago, the warehouse was opened and lent a lot to the people, and the potato seeds are only more than 3,000 catties at present. ”

How much can more than 3,000 catties of sweet potatoes be worth? Yang Youde suddenly felt that the golden cake he received was a little hot, "Why is this the only one?" Ask someone to go to the following counties to help Meng Zhi County find it. ”

The general judgment said: "Lord Futai, even if there are them in the following counties, the number will not exceed ours, and it is just the time to plant sweet potatoes, and most of them must have been lent out before." ”

Seeing this, Meng Changqing said: "Lord Futai, it's already May, if I take the potato seeds back to raise seedlings and plant them again, I will definitely not be able to catch up with this season."

If it is feasible, I would like to bother the two adults to help me harvest some sweet potato seedlings directly. ”

"Harvest seedlings from the people?" Yang Youde said, "This matter is feasible, and there are many ways, I don't know what Meng Zhixian wants to do?" ”

"My thoughts don't necessarily fit the situation in Yizhou." Meng Changqing said, "Xiaguan said cheekily, I only need sweet potato seedlings, I don't care what method you use." ”

Yang Youde said: "Since you are here to borrow potato seeds, then the official will exchange potato seeds with the people for sweet potato seedlings, and you will return my potato seeds in the coming year." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Meng Changqing stayed in the Yizhou Post House for a day, and when the next morning, the sweet potato seedlings from all over the place gathered together and loaded three carriages.

She hurried back to Liangzhou with these seedlings, and heard the people complaining about the unreasonable government along the way.

The farther away from Yizhou, the more Meng Changqing felt that what he had done was excessive, why did he completely focus on the target, completely ignoring the ways and means?

As far as the people of Beishan County are people, the people of Yizhou are not people.

When Meng Changqing's eyes fell on the three carts of sweet potato seedlings again, his eyes were full of guilt.

You can't do such a ridiculous thing again.

On the seventh night of the first lunar month, the group returned to the gate of Liangzhou City.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city happened to know Meng Changqing and his party, and after checking the documents and the carriage and horse personnel, they opened the door and let them into the city.

Meng Changqing originally wanted to go directly to the post house to rest, and wait for the early morning of the next day, and then go to the prefect's yamen to reply.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the post house, Wei Fangyun followed closely.

"Lord Wei." Meng Changqing said unexpectedly, "Why are you here so late at night?" ”

"I have instructed the officers and soldiers defending the city to notify me immediately when they see you returning." Wei Fangyun asked, "What about the potato seeds you brought back?" ”

"In the courtyard." Meng Changqing took him to see the three carts of sweet potato seedlings.

"This is a sweet potato?"

"It's a sweet potato seedling, which is cultivated from the stems of sweet potatoes, and now is the time to plant sweet potato seedlings, and after planting three or four months, sweet potatoes will grow under the soil." Meng Changqing said: "I have planted this crop in the capital, and as long as the bottom fertilizer is sufficient, the yield of sweet potatoes will be very high.

The production capacity per mu is more than 2,000 catties, which is enough for a family of three or four people to eat for a year. ”

Meng Changqing took out the booklet he was carrying, "This is written about the planting method of sweet potatoes and the matters to be paid attention to during the planting period." ”

Wei Fangyun took over and flipped through a few pages, which can be said to be full of pictures and texts, and he knew what was going on at a glance.

"Sweet potato seedlings don't survive long from the ground, and they must be planted in the ground as soon as possible." Meng Changqing said, "Uncle, I have a lot of open land in Beishan County, and I dare to ask you for a cart of sweet potato seedlings." ”

"You found this thing in the first place." Wei Fangyun said, "Even if you take them all back to Beishan County, no one will dare to say anything." ”

Meng Changqing followed up and said, "In this way, then I will take them all back." Uncle forgive me, Liangzhou has never grown sweet potatoes, and I don't dare to guarantee how high the yield of this thing is in Liangzhou, so let me try it in Beishan County, if the yield is okay, then tomorrow I will leave enough potato seeds, so that all parts of Liangzhou can be planted. ”

Wei Fangyun smiled: "Okay." Since you are in a hurry, then you will go out of the city at dawn tomorrow, and you don't have to reply to the house. ”

"Thank you, uncle."

"You must be tired from running around all day, so rest early."

Under the same night, people of the same age, some are sleeping peacefully, and some are being tortured.

"You've only made a few adobe bricks today, and you want to sleep?" Wang Lamei twisted her daughter-in-law's ears, "Don't think about sleeping if you don't do all the dirt outside, do you hear it!" At a young age, I want to be lazy! ”

Shu Erhua inhaled in pain, and finally waited for her mother-in-law to let go of her hand, she only felt a hot pain in her right ear that was twisted.

She was afraid of the tough woman in front of her, and she saw the child in the room who poked his head out to look at her.

When the mother-in-law returned to the house, Shu Erhua stared at her mud-stained hands.

The moonlight is unknown tonight, and I can't see anywhere else except this one in front of me.

In the second half of the night, she finally ran out of dirt in the yard, and she didn't have time to wash her hands and just wanted to find a place to lie down quickly.

At dawn the next day, I was awakened by my mother-in-law.

Cooking on the ground, being pinched from time to time, although she has been married for a few days, she has been strangely accustomed to this kind of life.

At noon that day, my mother-in-law ate all the dry food she had brought with her and felt hungry, so she asked her to go home and cook something to send to her.

The family's rice and flour were locked in the cupboard, Shu Erhua had no key, and had to find her husband who was playing outside, and walked around the village for most of the time to find the pillar in the children's group.

"Mother asked me to come back and make lunch." Shu Erhua said, "I don't have the key on the cabinet door. ”

As soon as she appeared, the children laughed and pushed the pillar out.

"I'll open it for you." The pillar didn't blame her for appearing suddenly, and even when she opened the cabinet, she took some more millet seeds, "You make more, and eat some yourself." ”

It was the kindness of the pillar, and it would not cause anything to happen if you did more to eat at home.

But it was so coincidental that Shu Erhua came back while eating Wang Lamei, and when she saw the millet rice in her bowl, she picked up the spatula next to her and beat it, "I'm going to die, I dare to steal the family's food in just a few days, and there are no elders in my eyes." ”

Wang Lamei pinched Shu Erhua's face, "Just take care of eating, I can't hear it when I come in, and I can't hear the sound of such a big gong outside, right?" After speaking, Wang Lamei was stunned, "How can there be a gong at this time?" ”

She let go of her hand and scolded Shu Erhua: "Don't go out to see yet!" ”

Shu Erhua covered her face, and as soon as she went out, she ran into the next-door neighbor.

Wang Lamei's scolding movement is not small, and Jiang Chan is very sympathetic to this girl.

She wanted to be comforted, but in the end, she was someone else's family, and she couldn't actually help others solve any problems.

"It's someone from the government who came and struck the gong." Jiang Chan said to Shu Erhua, "Let's go to the east, let's go over and have a look." ”

When they arrived, there were already a lot of people in the open space, and in the middle of the crowd, Yang Zheng held up a small handful of sweet potato seedlings and said: "There are still people in the open space, hurry up to me to get sweet potato seedlings, this is a good thing that the county lord wants from Yizhou!" ”
