I'm serious about the calamity of fast wear

Chapter 509 The Cannon Fodder Who Died in Exile (27)

However, they didn't expect that Shi's father not only brought people here, but also brought a group of yamen servants.

When the yamen servants called the county magistrate to arrive, Uncle Cai's family thumped and fell to their knees in panic.

But Shi's father was not at all frightened, pointing to the ridge of fields and said to the county magistrate.

"Please look, my lord. This is the sweet potato field planted by Caomin's family. It is about to be excavated today, and I would like to ask the county magistrate to be a witness."

Looking at the neat ridges and rows of fields in front of me, but the fields are bare, where is the food?
"Shi Yaoqian, if what you said is true, I will give you some credit. If you dare to lie to me, and you have nothing to do with me, I will let you know what is meant by every day. Not working."

The county magistrate snorted, then sat on a chair brought by the yamen from the village chief's house, waiting for Shi's father to conjure up an acre of ten shi's worth of grain.

When Shi's father heard the threats from the adults in the county, he bowed slightly and responded.

Then he turned around and called Uncle Cai's family to get up and start digging sweet potatoes.

Because Shi's father had the experience of digging before, he told Uncle Cai's family carefully before digging that he must not go down with a hoe and dig all the sweet potatoes into two pieces.

Uncle Cai nodded again and again, imitating Shi's father, first digging carefully, and then saw the sweet potatoes, under a stubble of sweet potato vines, it was like a hanging gourd.

Moreover, the size of the hanging sweet potatoes was bigger than the child's head.

In the front, Shi's father led a group of men from Uncle Cai's family to dig, and in the back, Shi Jiang led Shi's mother and Mrs. Shen, and Cai Dasister took her two daughters-in-law to pick them up in baskets.

Fortunately, Shi Jiang had thought of the current situation a long time ago, so the family weaved a lot of baskets.

But even so, baskets are not enough!
In the end, I had to borrow a wooden cart, loaded the baskets of sweet potatoes into the cart, and pulled them to my yard to start pouring.

After emptying the baskets, go to fill them.

When Father Shi took Uncle Cai's family and dug less than half an acre, the county magistrate stood up.

Although he didn't know what the dirt-like lumps were, they were all dug out from the ground, and the amount of land was astonishingly small, less than half an acre of land.

Earlier, when my father said that ten shi per mu was too modest, he felt that fifty shi per mu was more than enough.

Thinking of this output, the county magistrate took a deep breath.

My God, if the whole county grows this kind of grain, how much grain can the whole county grow?

"Go... When I went to Yao Qian's house, I called the village chief to bring me the scale. I want to measure how much grain this mu of land can produce."

The county magistrate couldn't sit still anymore, he greeted directly, and flocked to Shi's house.

Shi Mu and Shen Pozi had already washed some sweet potatoes and put them in the pot to cook.

When Shi Jiang saw the county magistrate entering the yard, he didn't talk nonsense. He directly picked up a sweet potato, cleaned it, then began to peel it, cut it into slices and placed it on a plate with a bamboo toothpick inserted on it.

"My lord, at this moment the little girl calls it sweet potato. It can be eaten raw or cooked. The flavor is different. Please try it."

The county magistrate did not expect that there was such a beautiful little girl hiding in the house at that time.

However, the sweet potato thing overshadowed his interest in women.

Looking at the sweet potato chips Shi Jiang held in his hand, he glanced to the side.

The master of the county government swallowed, picked up a bamboo stick, poked it on the sweet potato, put it to his mouth and took such a small bite.

At the beginning, I didn't dare to chew it with big mouthfuls, but only dared to taste it in small mouthfuls.

Then his eyes lit up, he swallowed hard the sweet potato in his mouth, and said to the county magistrate.

"My lord, this thing is sweet and delicious, like a fruit."

The county magistrate heard the master's words, and he ate it, and there was nothing wrong with it. Naturally, he poked a piece into his mouth and closed his eyes to taste it.

"Sure enough, what is this thing called? Sweet potato, right?"

"Yes, my lord. My mother is already cooking sweet potatoes. When the sweet potatoes are cooked, your lord can also taste them and see the difference."

Shi Jiang smiled and gave a piece of sweet potato to everyone present, asking them to taste the taste of this raw sweet potato.

Even the village chief was not left behind. After all, living in this village, even if their family has the county magistrate to rely on in the future, they will not be able to avoid the village chief.

Therefore, when you can win, try to win as much as possible.

It's really impossible to win over and make friends, so we can think of other ways.

The village head put the piece of raw sweet potato into his mouth. Although the sweet potato was sweet and delicious, he always felt tasteless after eating it.

Unexpectedly, this outsider who had just arrived in the village would quietly do such an earth-shattering event.

Now that the Shi family has the support of the county magistrate, how would he dare to show off in front of the Shi family in the future?
However, looking at Shi Jiang's attitude now, it seems that he did not step on him, and the village chief naturally would not refuse to take this step.

Sure enough, Shimu took out the boiled sweet potatoes and shared them with everyone.

Everyone present was amazed. It tastes sweet and delicious when eaten raw, but soft and sweet when eaten cooked. No matter which one, it is delicious!
"My lord, the weight has been weighed. There is a full yield of sixty stones per mu."

When the people tasted it, his servants hurriedly weighed all the dug sweet potatoes, and then came to a conclusion.

"Okay, God bless me, I actually got this kind of god food."

After finishing speaking, he patted his brother-in-law's shoulder on the shoulder, gave him a wink, and motioned him to find Father Shi and come over.

Jiang Shaoning naturally received his brother-in-law's signal, and turned his head to find Father Shi who was still digging sweet potatoes in the field.

Originally, Jiang Shaoning thought that Shi's father would be furious after he understood his hint, or resolutely opposed it.

Unexpectedly, after Shi's father came back with him, he bent down and cupped his hands at the county magistrate.

"Cao Min got this good seed because he reported it to the county magistrate as soon as possible. However, Cao Min was afraid that if the result was not satisfactory, he would disappoint him, so he didn't inform him immediately. Now that he knows that this good seed is so powerful, All the sweet potatoes in Caomin’s field can be donated to the imperial court, and adults can dispose of them. There is also this booklet, which is the planting method that my Shi family came up with during this period of research on how to plant this fine variety, and adults can also take it for reference.”

The county magistrate was already thinking of robbing, but he didn't expect Shi Yaoqian to be so upright.

Not only did he not ask for a penny, but he also donated all the good seeds produced in these fields, which made the county magistrate feel relieved at once.

It seems that at this time, the family has absolutely no intention of robbing him of credit and then returning to Beijing!

Since the other party is so knowledgeable, the county magistrate will naturally not be stingy. After he is promoted, he will be rewarded heavily.

"Okay, I am very pleased to have loyal and patriotic people like you in the imperial court."
