They are not like Lijiaao, close to the Liuyun River, and the wells in the village have long since dried up, let alone the sweet potatoes in the field.

Now they have packed their things and live in their mother's house or their daughter's mother-in-law's house.

Here, including Li Shu and Li Lin.

Together, the cousins had seven children, all of whom were under the age of seven.

It stands to reason that all of them should have been sent away with the Li clan before.

However, Li Shu, who had already separated from the family, was reluctant to let her eldest daughter Wu Meifang leave with her, so she stayed.

The youngest son was left, who was just over two years old, and she was reluctant to stay.

In addition, the two children in the middle were sent away by her.

And Li Lin, who has no family, can't be the master of the two of them at all when it comes to children, especially in the dragon and phoenix fetus.

Therefore, under her struggle, only the youngest son was sent away.

Fortunately, the two cousins were bold people, and they knew that they would be in a lot of trouble when they left with their young children.

In order to reduce the burden of others, the sisters gritted their teeth and became the dowry they gave their milk back then to buy cattle.

It's just that it was March and April, and the price of cattle was extremely high, two or three times as high as before.

In order to be able to buy a cow, the sisters reluctantly became the silver hairpin given by Li Yuan.

In this way, the silver is still not enough.

The sisters knew that their mother's family had no money, and it was difficult to borrow from Li Yuan, and it was impossible for their mother-in-law to lend them money at all, so they finally thought that they would leave anyway, and the land allocated to them by the family would be sold cheaply as long as someone was willing to buy it after the summer harvest.

The land has always been the root of the farmer, and the price of the two sisters' fields is only half of the original price, so some people buy it.

No, after the sisters got the money from selling the land, they bought a three-year-old cow together, and fought a carriage that had a fight with Li Yuan's carriage.

Now that the sisters' sweet potatoes died of drought, they harvested them early, gave the land to the seller, packed up their things, and brought their families back to Lijiaao.

And Li Lin's in-laws originally wanted to go along, but they were in such a hurry, and they didn't even want the ground, so they stopped thinking about it.

Li Jiaao has several married daughters in the same situation as Li Lin and Li Shu, but the difference is that they do not have the courage of the two sisters, and when they return to their parents' house with their families, they do not have any means of transportation.

At that time, they heard the copper bell in the village, so they took a big hat to shade the sun and followed towards the Li ancestral hall.

When Li Qinghua was waiting for everyone to come over, he told the elders of the Li clan about Li Yuan's request.

Not to mention what the other clan elders reacted when they heard it, they said Old Man Li, and he said to Li Qinghua as soon as possible: "Huazi, it's a hot day, after you let everyone collect the sweet potatoes, remember to dry them a little before weighing them." We are in drought right now, and we are not afraid that it will sprout. But if it rains all the time and it's hot and humid, it's hard to say. Moreover, during the spring ploughing before, Lord Xu said that the imperial court was exempted from paying taxes for three years due to the snow disaster last year. But in my opinion, we still have to pay this tax this year. It's not for anything else, just for the sake of Shao'an and the heirs of my Li family, let's not miss this. ”

There was a clan elder on the side who had a fast brain, and he quickly understood what Old Man Li meant, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Huazi is right to listen to your sixth uncle." Our sweet potato was given by Yuan Niang and Shao'an, and it is said that there are not many outside, or that it is bought outside, anyway, it means that we belong to the first species here. ”

"In this case, our output is high, and that is a political achievement. Let's say it's paying taxes, but paying taxes is to use sweet potatoes on top. No matter how great this is for Lord Xu, but the things are grown by the people of my Li family, and at present, the entire Liuyun County is only highly productive for us. ”

"We planted things first, and as long as they are popularized, people all over the world will remember us."

"Although it doesn't seem like much at the moment, we don't expect any reward from above. But when Shao'an is promoted and the champion is the champion, those people in the capital will know that Yuan Niang is the champion. In the future, I will know that Yuanniang is a girl from my Li family, which will naturally be good for Shao'an. The sweet potatoes we handed in can be used as seeds, which can be said to benefit the country and the people. Let's discuss it with Lord Xu, and then write a detailed planting from the clan, as well as the yield per mu......"

When Li Qinghua heard this, he didn't understand anything.

The people who erected their Li Jiaao listened to the arrangement of Xie Yanzhi and his family early and hoarded a lot of food.

Now this sweet potato is just an extra food for them, and if they lack some, it won't be good.

What's more, he promised his sixth cousin uncle that this sweet potato seed was borrowed by the people of their Li family.

After planting, how much should be returned.

They have benefited from the two of them, and they should also be fed back.

Only Shao'an is getting better and better, and their Li family, as Yuanniang's maiden family, can also follow suit.

Thinking so, Li Qinghua responded: "Okay, then do it." After clarifying it with the clansmen later, let people go into the city and talk to Lord Xu about it. Our sweet potatoes have a high yield, even if we don't have to pay taxes this year, we still have to pay them, and I want to come to Lord Xu and know what it means. I heard before that his own family in the capital has good connections, and for him, this is a great achievement, and his own family should also be happy to see this. ”

Old man Li said again: "If you don't worry, then let's take out a detailed data and how to cultivate the sweet potatoes after harvesting, and send them to Fucheng to Shao'an." Shao'an has a wide range of contacts and also knows many capable people in the capital. Don't say anything else, just the previous Chen Gongzi, he was from the Protector General's Mansion. No matter how bad it is, you can also send it to Yuanniang's aunt. She is a person from the Marquis Mansion of Zhenguo, and she is willing to convey this kind of thing that benefits the country and the people and can please the saints. ”

"Good! Right now, Lord Xu is our parent official, and I have to ask him about this. He has a good relationship with Shao'an, and he goes directly past him, I'm afraid that he will think that we don't know anything, and turn around because we have a grudge with Shao'an. ”

"That's the reason, then it's decided!"

As Li Qinghua and the elders of the Li clan discussed this matter, Li Jiaao and the people who were going to leave with him this time were almost there.

Li Qinghua shook the copper bell to calm everyone down, and then he talked about asking everyone to start at night and harvest sweet potatoes overnight.

By the way, he also said that he wanted everyone to give Li Yuan how much of the grain harvest in the field was given, and said that this was promised when he borrowed the seeds.

In addition, it was said that everyone should use sweet potatoes to pay taxes.

Not for anything else, just to let the people of the world remember their Li clan people in Lijiaao, Liuyun County, Xinyang Prefecture, and also let the people above have an impression of their Li clan.

In this way, if the heirs are promising in the future, and they will be admitted to the Xiucai and even Jinshi, when it comes to the Li family, everyone will know about sweet potatoes.

In this way, it is greatly beneficial to the descendants of the Li family!
