Chapter 2295
After Chi Shiyi was relieved, he said again: "Congratulations to Master Xu, such a great thing happened in the guard under his command, you have made a great contribution!"

Although he is only the grandson of the county lord, he still knows how to talk when he sees important people.

After Xu You heard this, he tried his best to pretend to be happy, and said with a smile: "It is the blessing of Da Chu and His Majesty that the new food from the sky is sent to Da Chu. This Marquis dare not take credit for it, it is all due to His Majesty."

He looked like a loyal minister and good general, and Chi Shiyi was moved... His father also said that Xu You was not a good person, and he had a rebellious heart. He told him not to offend Xu You after he came to the northwest, but look at Master Xu, and treat His Majesty How respectful.

If Sheng Rui were here, he would definitely call him an idiot!

"Master Xu, where is the cassava? Please take me to see, I want to dig some back." Chi Shixi couldn't wait, and wanted to meet the new grain.

Jiang Wangang frowned: "You want to dig cassava?"

Chi Shiyi nodded: "Yes, I heard that cassava grows in the ground. In order to show respect for the new grain, I will naturally dig a batch of cassava and take it away. People in Mu County are still waiting for the new grain to worship. What about heaven and earth?"

Xu You smiled, it is extremely cold now, are you out of your mind to dig cassava at this time?
But Xu You wanted to punish Chi Shishi, so he didn't let Jiang Wangang tell him the truth, but only said to Qin Sanlang, "Take Mr. Chi to dig cassava on the mountain."

"Yes." Qin Sanlang said: "Master Chi, please, I will take you up the mountain."

"Okay, let's go!" Chi Shixi was very excited, and took people up the mountain with Qin Sanlang to dig cassava, but before he climbed the mountain, he was so tired that he almost turned around and left, and asked, "Qin Qianhu, how long is it?" just arrived?"

"Soon." Qin Sanlang continued to lead them along. After wading through a muddy mountain road, he finally came to the mountain, pointing to a pitted tunnel: "The cassava is underground, and the dead tree poles above are cassava plants."

"This is the new grain?" Chi Shixi was a little dazed, gasping for breath, and after a short rest, he said, "Dig, quickly dig out and see the yield per mu."

"Yes." The servants brought by Chi Shiyi, including Zhang Er and others, began to dig cassava according to Qin Sanlang's teaching.

But it was too cold to dig. In the end, a big drill was used to loosen the soil and then dig out the cassava.

The moment Chi Shixi saw the cassava, he almost cried: "Boss, I finally dug it out."

Not easy.

Then he said disgustedly: "Hey, it's so dirty. But it's very big, and it's amazing that this one plant can grow so much."

Qin Sanlang said: "This is only half a cassava plant. It is cold and the soil cannot be dug up. A lot of cassava is broken in the ground."

Chi Shixi was in a hurry: "Broken in the field? How can I count the yield per mu? If there is no yield per mu, how can I write this happy news?"

Qin Sanlang said: "Every mu of cassava that Wei has dug up has been counted, and the value is three thousand catties."

"What? Three thousand catties?!" Chi Shiyi was startled: "You, you are not lying, are you?"

Qin Sanlang: "It is a great crime to punish the three clans to deceive His Majesty, I will not do that."

That's right, life is more important than merit.

Zhang Er asked, "Young Master Chi, do you still want to dig?"

Chi Shiyi glared at him: "It's enough to dig a plant and go back to worship the world. Walk around and go back to Changliangwei to see the dug cassava."

Hurry up, I'm tired and cold, and I'm going to see my ancestors if I dig any further.

"No more digging, let's go back!" Zhang Er and the others were overjoyed, they hurriedly packed up their things, and with their hands and feet full of mud, they went down the mountain in despair, and followed Qin Sanlang to see the dug cassava.

After seeing the cassava in one tent after another, Chi Shixi was shocked: "How many acres of land have you planted? How did you dig up so much cassava?"

Qin Sanlang said: "The guards focus on planting military rations. They don't grow much cassava, only half of the barren land and mountain land... One tent is the output of ten acres of land, so Mr. Chi can count the number of tents."

"The yield of a tent of ten mu of land, so this tent can't have [-] catties of cassava?!" Chi Shiyi was shocked, because a tent was only [-] catties. When they came over, they saw a tent, how much did it have to be? Cassava?

Chi Shiyi no longer counted.

"Large scales, Qin Qianhu quickly brought some large scales. I want to weigh a tent's grain, and I can report it to Your Majesty only after I am sure it is [-] catties!" Chi Shixi said excitedly.

Qin Sanlang didn't know what he was excited about?
Although Xu You gave up this credit, in order to show his favor to Emperor Jing Yuan and get other benefits, he would definitely report the new food in person. Chi Shixi was busy, and he was afraid that he would end up as a foil.

But he did as he did, and asked the soldiers to bring some large scales, and accompanied Mr. Chi to weigh a tent of cassava.

It took an hour, and finally weighed.

"Thirty thousand and 860 four catties... Oh my God, Qin Qianhu didn't lie to us, there are really so many!" Zhang Er was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and he almost knelt down to thank God for giving them such new food.

Chi Shishi was also very shocked, and went to count the number of camp tents. After counting clearly, he began to calculate the total production of cassava. After the calculation, he cried excitedly: "Father, my son has made a great contribution!"

After shouting, he felt bad again, and hurriedly changed his words: "God bless you!"

Zhang Er almost died laughing, took the opportunity to flatter him, and got a reward of ten taels of silver.

Uh, honestly, a little less.

But Chi Shishi is a concubine's grandson, he is not favored, and the family doesn't spend much, so he can't spend as much as Sheng Rui, and it hurts to give ten taels of silver.

Chi Shiyi said again: "Qin Qianhu, hurry up and arrange for a carriage to load cassava. I want to take a batch of cassava away!"

Qin Sanlang refused: "Young Master Chi, Lord Hou is in the guard. If you want cassava, you have to ask him first."

Chi Shixi felt that there was nothing wrong with this remark, and said, "Let's go, let's see Lord Xu!"

Qin Sanlang took him to the male guest's house again.

After hearing what Chi Shiyi said, Xu You shook his head and said, "At most, I can only give you one cassava plant to take back to Mu County for worship... Benhou has already written a good news and sent it to the capital and the prefecture. You can't move, you have to wait until Lord Qi and Lord Xin from Fucheng come to lead the Liangwei and weigh the cassava before you deal with it."

Chi Shiyi exclaimed: "What, you sent the happy news away?!"

Xu You nodded: "Well, when you went to the mountain to dig cassava, Ben Hou had already written a good news and sent it to the capital. Why, what's wrong?"

Uh, Chi Shixi couldn't say anything to refute, he just wanted to cry, his credit was gone!

Mr. Qian Shan said: "Happiness is never too much, Mr. Chi can also write a happy report and send it to the capital."

Chi Shixi held back his tears, that's all he could do.

He begged again: "Master Hou, I want to stay in Changliangwei for a while, and leave after the new food is settled. Is it feasible?"

Xu You agreed: "Yes."

Chi Shiyi stayed like this, but Xu You was going to live here tonight, and he didn't want to give Chi Shixi the male guest's house, so he asked Chi Shixi to live outside the guardhouse on the grounds of military regulations.

Qin Sanlang placed Chi Shixi in a row of rooms outside the gate of the guard.

There are many things in the guard today, and Xu You stayed overnight again, Qin Sanlang didn't dare to be careless, and he didn't return to the main house until he was busy.

Seeing that he came back safely, Gu Jinli breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and hugged him: "It's good to be back."

Qin Sanlang hugged her warm body, and felt happy in his heart, and said guiltily: "Don't worry about Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, with General Jiang, he will protect us, and Xu You won't wait It's been too long, I guess I'll leave tomorrow afternoon."
