Chapter 418, Harvest (two in one chapter)

Looking at Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai who were devouring them, Daohua silently filled them with a bowl of soup: "Eat slowly, don't worry."

Yan Wenkai continued to plan and pick up vegetables, and said with her cheeks bulging: "Big sister, do you know how long we have not eaten?"

Without waiting for Daohua’s response, Yan Wenkai continued with a sad expression: “Since we were knocked out and thrown into the old forest in the mountains, we haven’t eaten a tight meal.”

Daohua: "Then what do you eat these days?"

Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao’s hands were both holding food for a while, their faces were a little weird, they bowed their heads and said nothing.

Daohua still wanted to ask, she saw Xiao Yeyang pulling her sleeves.

Daohua looked over and was puzzled.

Xiao Yeyang hooked his finger and motioned for Daohua to come closer.

Daohua turned his ears, Xiao Yeyang whispered: "In the deep mountains and old forests, there are no Huozhezi, what do you say you can eat?"

Daohua's eyes widened suddenly, and after a while, she said angrily: "Too bully, how can this be done? Eating raw food will eat your stomach."

Before they finished speaking, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao rushed out of the house. After a while, vomiting came from the yard.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and looked at Daohua: "They just vomited you, and now you vomit them, it just happened."

Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang, then glanced at the dishes on the table: "No wonder the third and fourth brothers didn't eat a piece of meat." As he said, he looked worried, "You said, they will not have a shadow in the future. Right?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled, “As long as you don’t always be in front of them, it should be better after a while. There are quite a few soldiers in the barracks who have eaten raw food.”

Daohua was silent for a while, and invited Wang Man'er: "Go to the greenhouse and pick some tomatoes."

Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao came back after vomiting, their appetite dropped a lot, and they stopped eating after two bites.

At this time, Wang Man'er brought the clean tomatoes.

Daohua smiled and pushed the tomatoes in front of the two elder brothers: "Brother 3, Brother 4, try it soon."

Yan Wenkai picked up a tomato: "Eat it directly?"

Daohua nodded: "Yes." After speaking, she also took one and took a bite directly.

Seeing that the rice flower was eaten, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao only started eating. They took a bite and thought it was good, speeding up their eating speed.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang sitting still, Daohua handed him one.

Xiao Yeyang took it with a smile, took a sip, and nodded: "I didn't expect this red fruit to be really edible. It used to be a waste of just watching it. By the way, this is a kind of fruit?"

Rice Flower: "It is both a fruit and a vegetable. I will make you scrambled eggs with tomatoes tonight."

Xiao Yeyang: "Okay, if it's delicious, I'll send some to Uncle Huang."

The rice flower was silent for a moment: "I will pick the tomatoes that are planted in the greenhouse this year. I will use them to save the seeds. If you want to send them, I will give you two baskets at most."

Xiao Yeyang thought for a while: "Give it a cart. The tomatoes you pick and plant next year will definitely be sold. If your uncle likes it, you can be sure that your tomatoes will sell out."

Daohua's eyes lit up: "Yeah, what kind of publicity is like the emperor's favorite. Okay, I'll give you a cart. I have a lot of tomato practices here. I will write to you later and make sure that the emperor likes it. ."

"What the emperor likes to eat, it must be well promoted."

Looking at Daohua’s shiny eyes, Xiao Yeyang smiled silently.

After a while, several tomatoes picked by Wang Maner were eaten up.

Yan Wenkai looked at Daohua eagerly: "Big sister, I still want to eat."

Taohua directly refused: "I will eat it tomorrow. It is not good to eat too many things at once."

Yan Wenkai did not continue to pester, but asked, "Where are the gold thieves? Go away?"

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Yan Wenkai: "It seems that you haven't taken this lesson enough."

Yan Wenkai's face became stiff.

Yan Wentao asked: "Are they court officials?"

Ina Flower nodded: "Yeah."

Yan Wenkai immediately looked over sadly: "Why do you call them bad guys, the big sister?" As a result, they were cleaned up badly.

Daohua smiled, pointed at Xiao Yeyang and said, "He was misleading."

Xiao Ye glanced at Daohua and said nothing.

Yan Wentao looked at Xiao Yeyang solemnly: "Those people are looking for gold mines, are they okay?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head and said, "It's okay, they are acting on orders."

Daohua took the words: "Now they seem to have been recruited again. The gold mine has not been found. Xiao Yeyang said that finding the gold mine is a great achievement. Brothers 3 and 4, we must try to find the gold mine."

Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao's eyes lit up, and they looked at Xiao Yeyang together.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "The gold mine must be looking for, but I have to wait for Uncle Emperor's reply, and then see what I will do later."

He knows too little about the gold mine, and the Jiang family is also looking for it. If he really sends a large number of people out to look for it, he will probably meet the Jiang family. He still doesn’t know what Uncle Emperor meant, so he has to wait. Order down.

Ina Flower: "Well, let me know if you believe it, I have been out for a long time, so it's time to go back."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, feeling a little regretful. He had just been here for two days and was about to leave.

Originally, Daohua was going to return to Yan's Mansion the next day. Who knows, that afternoon, Yan Zhiqiang brought Mrs. Yan over, followed by Master Xiao.

Xiao Yeyang didn't want the Yan family to know that they had an interaction with Daohua in private, and Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao didn't want their family to know that they hadn't been to the military camp during this period. The three of them looked at each other and quickly slipped through the back door of Zhuangzi.

"Grandma, Sanshu, and Master Xiao, why are you here?"

The old lady Daohua Fuyan sat down and quickly poured a cup of tea for each of the three.

Yan Zhiqiang said with excitement, “Isn’t it possible to harvest the yam in the field during this period of time. A few days ago, I asked the tenants to collect a few acres and found that the yield per mu is as high as ten shi, and the yield is very considerable.”

"I told my eldest brother the news immediately. My eldest brother was very excited when he heard it. After discussing with Master Xiao for a while, I decided to let the officials of Ningmen Mansion come over and see for themselves."

Master Xiao took over with a smile: "There are a lot of sandy soils in Ningmen Mansion, most of which are left unused. It is not a real waste. The adults mean that they want to promote the yam."

Talking, glanced at Yan Zhiqiang.

"The third master said that the yam in the big girl Zhuangzi is growing better, so I suggest that the adults come here. I came here first to check today."

Daohua nodded and said in silence for a while: "Master Xiao, the yield of yam is high, but it is not as easy to preserve as rice and wheat. Therefore, after harvesting, you have to sell it as soon as possible except for your own food. "

"If my father wants to promote yam, he has to solve this problem. Otherwise, if the people's hard-growing things fall into their hands, something will happen."

Master Xiao looked straight and took this question in his mind, and was about to go back to tell Yan Zhigao, and then smiled: "When I was in Xingzhou, because of the sales of watermelons and grapes, the Yamen had contact with merchants from all over the world. As long as the quality of the yam we grow is good enough, I think this problem should not be difficult to solve."

Daohua nodded and said, "Also, the fertility of sandy soil is not high, and yam cannot be planted in succession. This point must be made clear in advance."

Master Xiao nodded again: "Big girl, what else needs attention?"

The rice flower pondered for a moment: "I also planted it for the first time, so I just thought of these, and I am afraid that I will not know the other problems until after the planting."

Master Xiao smiled: "At the beginning, when we promoted the cultivation of watermelon and grapes, the adults were also slowly trying to figure it out. This time I called the officials of the Ningmen Mansion to watch. Only Shaxian will encourage planting."

Daohua smiled and said, "Even if other counties want to plant it, it depends on whether the soil is suitable, and there are not many yam varieties."

Master Xiao smiled and nodded: "It is true. When I was young, I also visited some places and saw others planting yam, but the yield was not very high."

Daohua cast his eyes down. The reason why Yan’s yam is so productive is that the yam tubers that are planted come from space.

Immediately, Daohua pretended to sigh: "It seems that I won't make any money this year. In order to support my father's work, I must donate the thousands of acres of yam I planted to him as seeds."

Master Xiao hurriedly laughed and said: "That can't be done. Although the government office is not rich, you can't take things for nothing, but the big girl may indeed earn less."

Inahua smiled heartily: "If you make less, you can earn less, as long as you don't make me lose money."

Master Xiao smiled and picked up the tea cup, and took a deep look at Daohua.

Adult really gave birth to a good daughter. Whose girl can help her parents and contribute to the prosperity of the family at such a young age?

The old lady Yan saw that the two had finished speaking, and smiled: "Girl, if your father wants to bring people over, you are afraid that you will use it to receive everyone."

Daohua nodded: "No problem, but there are a few things here. People have to buy some cups and utensils."

The old lady Yan smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about it, your mother is ready, and you will be moved on the boat later.”

Master Xiao stood up: "I'll go to the ground and take a look at it now."

The old lady Yan looked at Yan Zhiqiang, and Yan Zhiqiang immediately took Master Xiao out.

"Go, go to the mountain to see old sister and your master."

The second day the old lady Yan came, Taohua Village began to lively. People came one after another, wandering around the rice fields planted with yam, and the tenants thought they were going to gangsters and patrolled closely every day.

On the fifth day, Yan Zhigao Haohao brought a group of people to Taohua Village.

There are officials, there are respected elderly people from all over the jurisdiction, there are also many farming veterans, and some ordinary people are also watching.

In addition, many well-informed businessmen from various provinces in Zhongzhou have also come.

Businessmen are chasing profits. The sales of watermelons and grapes in Xingzhou have made many people profitable. Nowadays, when the prefect of Yan has to promote new things, they have to come and see.

Yan Zhigao knew that people would not be able to see the yield per mu of yam with their own eyes, and let the skyflower fall in what he said. Others would not believe it: "Third brother, let someone dig it. Later, I will personally call the yield per mu with Fan Tongzhi. how many."

Yan Zhiqiang nodded, and found a dozen or so tenants who had outstanding farm work and started digging for yam.

"Everyone should dig carefully, don't dig it, it's not easy to save it."

Seeing that the yam dug out is three or four fingers wide, long and thick, everyone's heart is fiery.

After a while, one acre of yam was dug out.

Yan Zhigao greeted the officials around him to weigh in.

"Do you figure it out? How high is the yield per mu?"

An excited voice sounded: "Master, there are fifteen stones!"

Hearing this number, everyone was boiling.

Yan Zhigao saw that everyone was in high spirits, and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "My yam is served well, and others may not have this yield."

Fan Tongzhi smiled and said, “Even if it’s less, and only collect ten stones, that’s a high yield.”

You should know that the value of yam is much more expensive than ordinary grain.

Yan Zhigao smiled: “Everyone has seen the output of this yam, but I don’t know how it tastes. So, I will ask you all to eat yam soup at noon today to taste the taste.”

Fan Tongzhi immediately smiled and said, "Then we can take oral medicine."

After eating yam soup, some merchants immediately expressed their willingness to buy yam in the coming year. At the same time, many officials also expressed their desire to pick yam in their jurisdiction.

Yan Zhigao listened with a smile, and did not immediately respond.

and others have tasted the yam soup, Yan Zhigao took the people around the ground for a few times, and then returned to the city.

The next day, the government issued an announcement that only people with a household registration in Shaxian county can go to the yamen to receive yam varieties.

For a time, the people who moved out of Shaxian County began to move back. At the same time, some refugees without household registration also rushed to settle in Shaxian County.

Looking at Yan Zhigao, who had never broken his smile, Master Xiao smiled and said, "This time the problem of refugees should be completely solved."

Yan Zhigao smiled and shook his head: “It’s not that easy to solve it completely, but most of it can be solved. Master Xiao, tomorrow you will go to Sha County in person to supervise Sha County’s magistrate to implement the refugee settlement.”

"Everyone can see the profit of yam. Even if one type of yam is used in two or three years, the income is considerable. The wealthy families may be flooding there. We have to check it."

"The yam seeds provided to Shaxian County are to help the people and the refugees, but don’t end up making the wealthy families cheaper."

Master Xiao nodded: "Don't worry, adults, your humble job will definitely live up to your mission."

Yan Zhigao groaned for a while, and then said: "This time I will also bring Wenxiu, how can I say that it is now a man, and it should let him know more about the people's livelihood." He said, smiling at Master Xiao.

"At that time, I would be grateful if I would like to ask Master to give pointers to the dog."

Master Xiao immediately said: "The grown-up is serious. The eldest son and the eldest girl are both dragons and phoenixes. Even if there is no outsider's guidance, they can see the essence of various general affairs."

Seeing Master Xiao mentioning the two children, Yan Zhigao showed a somewhat self-satisfied expression on his face, but still humblely said: "The children can't help but boast, and Master bother."

Master Xiao responded with a smile.

Taohua Temple.

"What did the emperor say?"

Seeing Xiao Yeyang holding the letter silently, Daohua couldn't help asking.

Xiao Yeyang put away the letter and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang asked me to search for gold mines in private, so I can’t make any noise. I also said that if you help find the gold mines, you will be allowed to be the head of the county."

"real?!"

Inaba stood up with excitement.

Looking at her so happy, Granny Gu and Gu Jian silently looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.

Taohua became the county owner, so there is no big problem with Yang'er.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and looked at Daohua, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.

Uncle Huang knew that the Jiang family was looking for a gold mine, but he left it alone and told him to ignore it. What does this mean?

The power in the hands of the Jiang family as a relative is indeed too great. The Emperor's uncle's jealousy of the Jiang family was actually noticed when he was a child.

Thinking of the fate of his foreign relatives in history, Xiao Yeyang's heart jumped.

One day, will the imperial uncle also attack the Jiang family?
