Chapter 658 Message
11
Early the next morning.

It was just dawn, and the sky in the distance had just crossed a layer of Phnom Penh, and the people in the village were slowly waking up.

Rows of elite soldiers wrapped the Duhe River in Fushan County layer by layer, and there were guards at intervals along the bank to prevent looters.

"These are all tomatoes, but they are delicate, please put them lightly!"

"Hey! Don't forget this basket of cabbage!"

"It's you, take it easy! Don't break the potatoes!"

Su Ming was urging by the side of the boat, jumping his feet anxiously from time to time.

It was early in the morning after busy work, and only half of the cellar was moved.

There are still two cellars!
The boat that Prime Minister Zuo brought almost couldn't fit.

Fortunately, there are many boats at the wharf in Fuxian County, because they haven't traveled far, these boats have been parked here, and now they are coming in handy.

This is not a problem.

Many villagers came to the shore. They heard that Yun Yiyi and his party were leaving, so they all came to see them off.

Seeing that everyone was moving food, the villagers also participated in it.

Once they joined, the speed of transportation was much faster.

Su Ming took a rare breath.

This is too difficult.

His mind is not good at all, and now he is counting, but he can't figure out how many baskets there are.

"Brother, do you see how many baskets there are?" Fortunately, he still has a big brother.

Wang Lin smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I remember, it's 1200 dan now."

Su Ming grinned.

Not only Wang Lin is counting, but also the staff are counting silently in their hearts, so that they can come up with an approximate yield per mu.

After a while, the aide counted and his eyes widened like a cow. He tugged on Prime Minister Zuo's sleeve and trembling his lips: "Left... Lord Zuo Xiang... villain... figured it out."

It was rare for the staff to hesitate like this, Prime Minister Zuo stared at him with some surprise.

"how many?"

"According to the villain's preliminary estimate, it weighs about 8000 catties."

"!"

Zuo Xiang was so frightened that he almost fell down.

This is just a variety, not counting others!

This is too surprising!

He never expected that there were so many of them.

The left minister also trembled: "These are all produced in that greenhouse?"

"Exactly." The staff was also very surprised.

The shed is also great.

A soldier accidentally touched a tomato while carrying it, and the juice of a tomato burst.

The soldiers were filled with remorse, and the imposing seven-foot man actually squatted on the ground and cried.

Su Ming saw it and quickly pulled him up.

"What are you crying for?"

"My lord said that this is food relief for the common people, but I destroyed it!" The soldier burst into tears.

"There's only one, it's okay, if you care, you can stay and eat by yourself." Su Ming was speechless.

The soldier quickly waved his hands: "How can I do that?"

"If there's anything wrong with it, just take it if you're told, don't talk nonsense."

Su Ming couldn't bear it, so he stuffed the rotten tomato into his mouth.

The soldier didn't spit it out, nor threw it away, so he quickly finished his meal and continued to move.

During the carrying process, Prime Minister Zuo saw some soldiers carrying a strange tool, which he had seen yesterday.

Because when I saw the food, I was so shocked that I forgot to ask.

He asked Yun Yiyi who was standing aside: "What are these?"

Yun Yiyi took one of the Quyuan plows, and demonstrated to him while talking: "Master Zuoxiang, this is a Quyuan plow, an improved farming tool. You can see that with this free-rotating plow disc, the plow frame becomes Smaller and lighter, it is easier to turn around and turn, and the common people can operate more flexibly, which can save manpower and animal power, and improve efficiency faster."

"These crops are all cultivated with such farm tools?" Zuo Xiang's eyes lit up surprisingly.

Yun Yiyi nodded: "That's right, they all use this kind of farming tools."

Especially after learning that this Quyuanli was also invented by Yun Yiyi, Zuo Xiang was even a little numb from the shock.

I believe that even if someone tells him now that Yun Yiyi can make rockets, he will not find it strange.

The soldiers carried the baskets in an orderly manner.

The left minister brought many people, and these were more than 1 elites drawn from the Fuzhou barracks.

When it comes to doing things, it's called a crisp and neat one.

But ever since they learned that these were food for disaster relief, each and every one of them acted cautiously.

They came out of the barracks, so of course they knew what this meant.

There is not so much food in the barracks now, and everyone is eating some white rice and vegetable leaf porridge.

I have never seen such foods as tomatoes, potatoes, and wild rice.

Some soldiers started drooling as they moved.

"Master Zuo Xiang said that part of the food will be given to the barracks, brothers, be careful, don't break it!"

Hearing this, everyone who was a little tired immediately revived on the spot as if they had been spayed with chicken blood.

Yan Qinghe originally expected to finish the move before the afternoon, but he didn't expect these soldiers to be too careful and barely finished the move before it was getting dark.

He looked at the night, a little speechless.

The villagers held bonfires and stood on the shore, waving their hands reluctantly.

"Master Yan, take care all the way."

"Mrs. Yan, we will miss you."

"Ma'am, if the capital is not good, you can go back to Fushan County!"

A villager in the crowd yelled, but the people next to him quickly covered his mouth.

"Master Yan, he is talking nonsense! Master Yan has a bright future, I hope this day will never come to pass!"

As Yun Yiyi listened, her eyes were involuntarily moistened.

"What I taught you, do you remember?"

"Ma'am, we all remember it!"

"After we leave, don't forget to continue planting."

"Yes, yes, all is well, madam."

When Yan Qinghe and his party boarded the boat, the villagers still stubbornly guarded the shore.

Zuo Xiang saw it in his eyes, but his heart was full of waves.

Since ancient times, only those who really do things for the people will have such a scene of seeing each other off.

This Yan Qinghe is more popular than he thought.

Such a person will definitely be able to go a long way in the officialdom in the future.

Before his power has risen, it is better to make friends with him.

Yan Qinghe stood silently on the boat, looking at the black spot on the bank from afar.

Yun Yiyi blindfolded him: "Qinghe, don't be reluctant, we will come back and have a look when you are free later."

Yan Qinghe turned around and held her hand: "I don't want to give up, but you are the only one who is reluctant."

Yun Yiyi blushed.

It was only when the evening wind blew across her cheeks that Yun Yiyi felt the temperature on her face drop.

"Qinghe, we are finally going back to the capital." Yun Yiyi leaned in Yan Qinghe's arms, feeling a little nostalgic.

I don't know what's going on at home or how the children are doing.

Are you hungry or miss her?

"Yeah, I'm finally going back." Yan Qinghe's voice was a little melancholy.

……

Royal Palace.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." The eunuch in charge served the meal and said respectfully.

The emperor frowned tightly, without raising his head: "Take it off, I'm not hungry."

The eunuch in charge was a little helpless, he waved his whisk and told the maid to leave.

Your Majesty is not hungry, he just can't eat!
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo is here to deliver a letter." Suddenly, a little eunuch hurried over.

"Come in." The emperor said.

Soon, a servant hurried in.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the letter sent by Mr. Zuo Xiang has arrived. Mr. Zuo Xiang has found a solution to the grain production. He has personally gone to Fushan County to confirm that he sent a humble official here. Mr. Yan Qinghe Yan in Fushan County has successfully planted About 8000 catties of grain, including tomatoes, potatoes, wild rice stems, cabbage and other new crops, will soon arrive in the capital, which can relieve the famine in the country." The attendant knelt down, licked his lips, and was a little excited, "Because when Mr. Zuo left, I was in a hurry, and I didn’t have time to hand over the note to His Majesty, so I said that as soon as I received a letter from him, I would send a humble official to report it.”

"What?" The emperor's hand holding the pen shook violently, and it fell on the memorial all of a sudden, rendering a large cloud of thick ink.

He didn't care about these, and quickly helped him up: "Say it again!"

So the attendant repeated it again.

The great surprise crushed the emperor, and he sat down in a daze.

The eunuch in charge was so frightened that he hurried to call the imperial doctor, but was stopped by the emperor.

Hearing that the name sounded familiar, the emperor looked at the eunuch in charge in a daze: "Then Yan Qinghe is the number one scholar? I sent him to Fushan County for disaster relief, but he was forgotten."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the champion of Jingke." The eunuch in charge has a good memory and soon remembered this lord.

"I didn't expect him to be so capable." The emperor murmured and sighed.

This world-wide problem was solved at once.

"He invented this new crop?"

"Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, Lord Yan's wife invented it." The attendant quickly told all he knew, "Lady Yan also invented the Quyuanli, greenhouse planting, etc."

"What is this?" The emperor felt a little strange.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this Quyuanli is different from the previous agricultural tools. The appearance of the Quyuanli is more convenient for farming, and it saves time and effort." The attendant was not very clear, but just made a generalization, "Greenhouse planting is even more miraculous. Existence, food can be grown all year round, without the hindrance of seasons..."

Speaking of this, the attendant couldn't believe it.

The emperor's eyes widened: "Is it true what you said?"

"Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty. I saw this with my own eyes. When I went to Fushan County with Lord Zuoxiang that day, I couldn't believe it. Only when I arrived in Fushan County did I realize that it is a paradise. Men farm and women weave, and life is not affected at all. Madam Yan also invented other cuisines such as potato chips, and the leftist wanted to buy recipes from Madam Yan with two taels of money, but Madam Yan didn't take any money and just donated it directly, saying that it was a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so she dared not take credit for it."

The attendant paused and sighed in admiration: "I also saw Mrs. Yan planting grain with the local villagers. Mrs. Yan has stored grain in three cellars, and the [-] soldiers brought by the left minister were fully transported from Maoshi to Xushi. It was only with the help of the villagers that the move was barely completed."

The emperor was stunned: "Then Mrs. Yan is really a strange woman, and Yan Qinghe is lucky."

The attendant nodded in agreement.

Cuckoo.

A dull voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

The emperor coughed lightly, pretending to be calm: "Quickly pass on the imperial meal, I am hungry, and I want to eat!"

The eunuch in charge happily went down to give orders.

His Majesty is finally willing to eat.

This is a good thing.
