Chapter 328 Birthday Star
It only took half a month to subside.

This time, all the culprits were beheaded for public display, and the accomplices were exiled into the army.

The people who followed were exempted.

On July 70, all the elderly people over the age of [-] from the following counties and villages came to Xinyang Prefecture.

Of course, some of them are rich people, but Su Nancheng specially instructed that half of the old people sent from various places are real farmers and poor people.

These years of natural disasters and man-made disasters can still live to this age, and all of them are healthy people.

There are also people who are afraid and refuse to come no matter what they say, and the lower levels do not force them.

However, it is still possible to guarantee one or two people from each village.

Su Nancheng chose a fine cloudless day, and set up dozens of banquet tables in the largest open space in Xinyang City.

He said, the money will be paid by himself.However, the people below were eager to contribute money, and in the end, they didn't ask Su Nancheng to contribute any money.

Wearing a silver robe, he helped a centenarian old man into the seat.This one is the oldest birthday star in Yuanbao County.

He is the old man of a rich local family.

Whenever the old people came, they could take care of themselves. In case something happened to them, Su Nancheng ordered them to get used to their stomachs early in the morning.

Don't eat bran-swallowed vegetables for the rest of your life, eat a good meal today and you will be eaten away.

That would be ugly.

It was also for these old people not to be afraid, so most of Su Nancheng's generals were wearing casual clothes, but they all carried weapons around their waists.

When everyone was seated at the table, Su Nancheng had agreed early in the morning that there was no need to stick to etiquette, and that tonight there would be no distinction between officials and civilians.

He smiled and talked to the old people at the main table: "Xinyang is a good place. Even though there have been many natural disasters in the past few years, it is still better than other places. The land here is fertile, and it is a suitable place to live."

"What the general said is true. It is here that this old man can live this long." An 84-year-old man said.

As for the centenarian who was helped in by Su Nancheng, he was old after all, although he could still speak clearly, his reaction was also slow.The main thing is that they don't speak the official language.

Su Nancheng chatted and laughed with them, and the meals came up like flowing water.

It's almost time to wait, Su Nancheng raised his glass: "Come on, I respect all the birthday stars, it's my Su Moumou's honor to invite you here today."

Where have these old people seen such a high-ranking and respectful general?Naturally, everyone stood up and raised their glasses in a hurry.

After drinking a glass of light wine, Su Nancheng ordered someone to serve something new.

Introduced by Rousseau.

"Have you seen this before? It's potatoes. But the potatoes in our Dayuan territory are purple-skinned and red-skinned. Even though they are delicious, the yield is low. The yellow-skinned ones are actually not bad, but the yield is very high. It is similar to purple-skinned red potatoes. It's a good thing to grow mixed with skins."

"The ones I brought back this time are all for seeds, so I boiled a pot, and you all share it to taste."

After tasting it, the old people from the farmer's family all had bright eyes.On the contrary, although the old masters from rich and noble families also looked happy, they looked like they were acting.

Immediately afterwards, Rousseau took out another thing: "Look, everyone, this thing is called a potato. It is the same as a potato. It can be eaten as a root when planted in the ground. It is indeed sweet and has a high yield. It is very filling."

Today's sweet potatoes are not as big as later generations, but they taste very good.

Everyone's interest in this uneaten potato is different, and they all find it very novel.

In the end, it was the treasure of the finale. Rousseau brought out the boiled corn, cornmeal pancakes, and raw corn cobs.

He explained this thing in detail. In fact, this thing is not called corn.

The people on the boat may not understand what the people from overseas say, they just call it Huajiao.

Because the corn was not golden at this time, at least what was brought back this time was not golden.

It's white mixed with purple particles. Su Nancheng said it was corn, and the people below also thought that the trees really looked like jade, so they called them corn.

Faced with this corn, the old men of those farmers were really excited, and pulled Rousseau to ask about the yield and so on.

Ordinary people these days can't eat much rice noodles.

Their staple food is coarse grains, which do not taste good.

Cornmeal is naturally rougher than wheat flour.But for today's people, this is a rare delicacy.The taste is incredibly delicate.

After learning that it has a higher yield than local sorghum, millet, millet, etc., those old people were even happier.

"This thing is also drought-resistant, and it is an excellent crop. I sent people out to sea for several years, and finally got something." Su Nancheng smiled: "I invite you to come today, that's why. If we plant these in Xinyang, in the future Natural disasters will not starve people to death. The common people have food to eat, so how can there be troubles?"

Good is good, but when it comes to planting, everyone is still hesitant.

Su Nancheng knew their worries, so he said: "There are not many seeds. As long as you believe in me, you will take some back when you leave. It takes up a few cages at home, and you are not required to plant them all. But after they are planted, they will be yours. "

"I will also ask Tao Taishou to find someone to plant this, so that the seeds can be saved in the future."

Tao Taishou looked cooperative: "Don't worry, the general, such a good thing, the lower officials will take the lead in planting."

Hearing that they don't force it, these old people also thought about planting some in the coming year. If it is really so good, wouldn't they be so short of food in the future?
Su Nancheng's goal has been achieved. If he really wants to plant on a large scale, he doesn't have so many seeds.

It will take at least three years for these to really scale up.

Let everyone accept it now.He also kept a part of the species in the capital, and he had to be called a human species when he went back.

This is his purpose today, mainly to push out the seeds he got.

Of course, reputation is also necessary.

In the future, when people in Xinyang eat these new foods, they must remember Su Chiyu.

Indeed, General Su tonight left a deep impression on all the old people.In any case, they are still willing to take some seeds back to try.

It's just that Su Nancheng won't tell them to take them home now.He will distribute the seeds to the county government below.

In case they take it home and eat everything they have nothing to eat.

It is best to go to the county government to collect it when it is time to cultivate in the coming year.

Su Laosi and Su Laoliu sat together, whispering their ears: "Lao Liu, look at Lao Qi, tsk, this is still from our Su family? Why is it so strange?"

"Fourth brother, have you thought about what to do in the future?" Su Lao Liu asked instead.

Su Xingcheng drank a glass of wine: "We both have the same father and mother, I don't know what you think?"

Su Xiangcheng clinked the wine glass with him, but didn't say a word, just looked at the most conspicuous person in the crowd with burning eyes.
