Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 364 Auspiciousness descends from heaven!

Liu Zhiheng was so proud that he wanted to raise his head and chest, but unfortunately his huge belly went out first.

 But he doesn’t have time to worry about it so much, he is so excited now!

You know, there are a total of 500 acres of land here, including 50 acres of potatoes and 450 acres of corn. They were planted in the spring until they are about to be harvested. He follows them from beginning to end.

The whole body is as black as charcoal due to the sun, all because of these grains.

 How could he not be excited when it was finally time to harvest?

“Master Hou, can we start harvesting?” Liu Zhiheng asked.

The Marquis nodded and said, "Let me measure it strictly, one acre of potatoes and one acre of corn, and weigh them on site after harvesting."

"Yes!" Liu Zhiheng rolled up his sleeves, brought a few people with him and started to pull the rope to measure.

Li Zhensheng and Li Laosi also jumped down from the field to help.

Soon, two square pieces of land were measured.

Everyone worked together to break the corn, cut the stalks, and even peel the corn kernels on the spot.

The potato seedlings were also cut and thrown aside. The plow went down to the ground and directly opened the ridges, exposing the round potatoes to the sky.

Even the Marquis tucked up his gown, carried a basket, and picked up potatoes together.

It’s easy to work when there are many people. The trustworthy stewards of the Liu family and the Marquis’ personal soldiers, dozens of people, all started working together. After more than half an hour, the corn stalks, corn cobs and corn kernels were clearly distinguished. Clear.

Potatoes are also divided into different sizes and put into light-shielding sacks.

Two stewards brought up a large scale and weighed out 700 kilograms of corn kernels, which is about seven dan per mu!

Potatoes are nearly 2,000 kilograms, which is about 20 dan per mu!

Everyone looked at the mess on the ground and fell silent.

Suddenly, a young steward who was born in poverty fell to his knees and cried loudly, "What auspiciousness from heaven! Wuwu, I will never be afraid of hunger again! Wuwu, my mother just starved to death! How can such good food be so good?" It just appeared. If it had been earlier, how many people would have survived!"

 “Auspiciousness descends from heaven! Auspiciousness descends from heaven!”

Everyone seemed to be ignited by the cry and danced with joy!

Some people hugged each other and jumped, some knelt down and kissed the ground, and some held the grain bags and didn't let go!

 Food is the most important thing for the people, and a full stomach is the simplest and most urgent desire of everyone.

 With such high-yielding good food, everyone will no longer be afraid of going hungry!

Mr. Hou grabbed a handful of corn kernels and his face turned red with excitement!

These few hundred acres of grain in front of us will become tens of thousands of acres next year!

 The pace of recovering half of the rivers and mountains will no longer have to stop because of lack of food!

Li Zhensheng also breathed a long sigh of relief. This year, no matter where he was, he was thinking about these new grains.

After all, this new food was brought back by him from the south. It is also the hope of giving the Li family wings to fly, and it is also the strongest armor to protect the whole family!

From now on, whoever grows corn and potatoes will have to respect the Li family. If they bully the Li family, they will be ungrateful and will be cast aside by everyone!

 He took a deep breath and asked, "Master Marquis, are you going to report it?"

The Marquis nodded and said, "Pack a few potatoes and a few kilograms of corn for me. I will go to the palace to announce the good news! You don't need to prepare to pick me up, just work without any worries."

 Liu Zhiheng and Li Zhensheng understood each other and quickly agreed, "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, we are here!"

Liu Zhiheng usually does business as a businessman and is best at reading people's hearts.

He took the steward and made careful arrangements, and actually cut seven or eight stalks with corn cobs, tied them tightly, and asked the Marquis's soldiers to carry them.

Potatoes were also pulled out and put into the basket along with the potato seedlings.

In this way, anyone with eyes, once they see it, will be shocked by the high yield of new grains, which is much better than simply reporting the quantity!

Li Zhensheng couldn't help but give Liu Zhiheng a thumbs-up gesture. Liu Zhiheng was so proud that he raised his head and laughed.

The streets of Xindu have always been overcrowded. Due to the influx of a large number of people and wealthy families from Jiangbei, it is difficult to find a house in Xindu, and it is not easy to stay here for a while.

 This day was the great court meeting, and the entrance to the palace was crowded with carriages and horses. The servants of each family are waiting for their masters to leave the court, and they occasionally chat with each other, which is quite comfortable.

 Suddenly, the rumble of horse hooves broke the tranquility.

Soon, a dozen fast horses stopped in front of the palace gate. The man in front took out a gold medal and gestured to the guards guarding the gate. The palace gate was immediately opened, and the horse team quickly ran in.

 Everyone was startled and started talking.

“What’s going on? Are the barbarians from Jiangbei coming?”

“No way, didn’t we just win the battle and drive the barbarians out for hundreds of miles?”

 “I’m not sure, the one who won the gold medal just now is Marquis Xinting!”

“There are still people carrying branches and baskets on their backs. Even if there is a war, they won’t bring these back to ask for help..."

Everyone was talking lively, but they were also nervous, stretching their heads and looking towards the palace entrance.

 I hope someone can come out and explain it clearly.

 As a result, less than half an hour later, the palace door opened again.

It was still the Marquis of Xinting who ran out first with his own soldiers, followed by... the bright yellow royal chariot!

Is this the emperor leaving the palace? !

 Everyone was shocked.

 What happened? The emperor has left the palace!

But before they could figure it out, the masters of each family ran out panting, jumped directly onto the carriage, and shouted: "Quick, quick, follow the chariot! Go to Yunhe Town!"

Yunhe Town?

 Some coachmen don’t know where Yunhe Town is at all, but if they follow the group, they will definitely not go wrong.

 But there were also local coachmen who knew about Yunhe Town, so they were even more puzzled.

It's just a small town. I haven't heard of any natural treasures or any outstanding people living in seclusion. What are the emperor and his ministers going to do?

Soon, the entire Xindu was shocked by the sudden departure of the emperor and the ministers following him.

Some of the brave ones followed and watched the excitement.

The timid ones just stood at the gate of the city and started talking!

 It originally took two or three hours to reach the destination, which was dozens of miles away, but this time, it only took one hour.

Because the emperor was impatient, he changed horses not far from the city.

It's okay if the ministers can ride a horse, but those who can't can only stare.

 But fortunately, they still had guards or stewards, and the two of them rode together and managed to catch up.

Yunhe Town, Liu Family's Zhuangzi.

Liu Zhiheng, Li Zhensheng, Li Laosi and others harvested another seven or eight acres of corn. They were very tired. After lunch, they leaned on the corn stalks to eat, bask in the sun and blow in the autumn breeze.

Suddenly I heard a noise, and a few people stood on the straw pile and saw that they were all busy.

The first to arrive were the emperor and the officials from the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, especially the officials from the Department of Agriculture and Forestry. Their hats were all gone and their clothes were in a mess, but they didn’t care about anything and rushed directly to the field, “Is this corn? Are these potatoes? Are there really seven or twenty dan per mu?"

The emperor also personally broke off a big corn cob from the straw. He was so excited that he said, "Hurry up and measure the land. I want to see the grain weighed in person!"

 Liu Zhiheng, Li Zhensheng and others didn't even have time to kowtow, so they hurriedly got busy.

Soon, another acre of unharvested corn and potato fields was measured...
