Chapter 175 People from Kuoding County
In the end, we harvested nearly 100 acres of land and harvested more than 200,000 kilograms of potatoes.
Yan Kai asked people to select those who could grow potatoes. In addition to continuing to grow potatoes on the 100 acres of land, the people could also plant potatoes in other places.
These people still have some fields at home, and Yan Kai also allows them to reclaim some land to grow potatoes.
Kuoding County was originally a sparsely populated area, but the remaining land after many people fled the disaster was left uncultivated.
As long as you clean up and plant potatoes, there is no problem at all.
Then he sent 100,000 catties of potatoes to Chang'an City, and the rest were all made into dried potatoes and potato powder by Yan Kai and the people.
This way it can be stored for a long time.
Chun Yunan specially sent a team of government soldiers to pick up the 100,000 kilograms of potatoes sent to Chang'an.
In modern times, one hundred thousand kilograms is equivalent to 50 tons. If it is not overloaded, ten 5-ton cars can pull it away for you.
But in ancient times, a horse could pull hundreds of kilograms of things. For these potatoes, Chun Yunan brought all his horses, mules, donkeys, and other livestock to form a team.
Because Yan Kai said, these things have to be transported quickly. They will sprout and mold on the way, which will spoil the vegetables.
For this reason, Chun Yunan came to Kuoding County in person.
"Brother Yan? You...you...are you telling the truth?" Chun Yunan couldn't believe his ears.
Is this Yan Kai crazy? He actually said that it was done by Dengzhou for his contribution to the temple and it was best not to mention his name!
Anyway, as long as Li Shimin knows who did it, Yan Kai has no intention of becoming famous or taking credit.
His merits are too great, and he might be called to Chang'an one day.
He didn't think he could get involved in that court.
As it is now, Li Shimin only needs to know that it is his own fault, and he can use this to bargain with him.
As long as Yan Kai said he could make some noise by staying in Kuoding County, Li Shimin probably would not forcefully recall him to Chang'an.
But once it is exposed, it is a taboo of the emperor to not reward meritorious service, and even Li Shimin will have no choice but to promote him.
It would be better for the two of them to deal privately now.
"Don't worry, Lord Governor, just say it was done by the people of Dengzhou."
"Brother Yan, you will call me Governor in private from now on, but you don't regard your brother as one of your own!"
Chun Yunan really didn't expect that his thigh was actually hugged correctly.
He also knew that His Majesty must know who got the credit, but it was not important. The only thing that could be publicized in the court was his contribution to becoming the governor of the state.
Now that I am the Marquis of Qi County, with such merit in my hands, will I soon be the Duke of Qi County?
Chun Yunan returned to Dengzhou happily with his convoy. Just at the gate of the city, he received news that Master Zuo Cheng Wei, the Minister of Finance, had arrived.
He is only the fifth-rank governor of Xiazhou, while Zuocheng, the minister, is the fourth-rank official.
Not to mention that Wei Zheng was still a capital official and a celebrity around Li Shimin.
Chun Yunan quickly led people forward to greet him, "I've met Mr. Wei!"
"Master Chunyu, what is your convoy?" Wei Zheng looked at the messy convoy behind Chunyu Nan with some confusion.
"This is the food sent to Chang'an. It's called potatoes. The yield per mu is more than 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms!" Chun Yunan said proudly.
"What?" Wei Zheng was stunned. He was not the kind of official who didn't know about agricultural products despite being in a temple.
The yield per mu is more than 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms of grain?
Did he hear it wrong or did Chun Yunan say it wrong?
After confirming again and again, Wei Zheng was still a little doubtful.
But these things are to be sent to Chang'an, and the planting methods are also attached, so it is unlikely to be faked.
"Then please send Master Chunyu to Chang'an as soon as possible. The main reason for my coming this time is..." Wei Zheng approached Chunyu Nan and whispered: "Your Majesty asked me to go to Hebei Road to appease Prince Yin's old ministers, but someone seemed to have told them in advance that His Majesty would clear them up. them."
"So by the time I arrived at Hebei Road, they had already come east to the vicinity of Dengzhou. Has Lord Chunyu noticed anything strange in the boundaries of Dengzhou recently?"
When Wei Zheng arrived, he had no choice but to seek help from the local magistrate, so he could only tell the truth.
In case some of these local officials are too clever and self-defeating, they will be in trouble.
Chun Yunan was shocked. No wonder Wei Zheng came out of Chang'an. He was originally Prince Yin's Xima, and he was also a person close to Prince Yin.
It would be reasonable for him to appease Prince Yin's old subordinates.
But why would those people run to Dengzhou?
After thinking about it again, I understand.
The north is the territory of Turks and Shiwei, and the south is the territory of Tang Dynasty. If they don't want to take refuge with Turks and Shiwei, then they can only go east and go to sea.
As for why they didn't go to places like Cangzhou, Qingzhou, and Laizhou, but came to Dengzhou, he didn't know.
"Replying to Mr. Wei, I have indeed received no news, but don't worry, sir. I will ask someone to inquire immediately."
"Then I'll trouble Lord Chunyu." After saying that, Wei Zheng suddenly asked: "I remember that a young man named Yan Kai was sent to your Dengzhou?"
"Yan Kai?" Chun Yunan thought hard for a moment before punching his palm with his fist.
"Yes, yes, there is such a young man. He is not very old. I heard that he seems to be personally anointed by His Majesty."
"The place he was sent to... seems to be the Kuoding County under his control. Mr. Wei asked him if there was something wrong?"
Chun Yunan's acting skills are definitely enough to win a Little Golden Award.
Wei Zheng suddenly asked Yan Kai, who knew what his intention was? Of course, if you can fool me, just fool him.
Yan Kai has His Majesty's people around him, so if His Majesty wants to know, there is no need for Wei Zheng to ask.
"No, it's just because he is young, so I am a little curious. Master Chunyu is not familiar with him?"
"Hahaha, he just came to Dengzhou not long ago, so he is really not familiar with it."
After speaking, Chunyu Nan pointed to the potatoes and said, "There are several ways to prepare these potatoes. Do you want to try them, Mr. Wei?"
"I haven't eaten anything like this before, so I naturally want to try it."
Two thousand-year-old foxes were chatting here, but Yan Kai received the news.
A group of people went to the seaside.
Originally, he didn't want to get involved in these troubles, but he suddenly remembered that Zhou Tong and Luo Tian Zhou and his son went to the beach today.
Because mother-of-pearl Zhou has to go to the sea to collect shells to make mother-of-pearl pipa.
The origin of these people is unknown, but the people who came to report said they found them carrying weapons.
Whether it's public or private, he has to take people to see it.
When he found Chun Yuzhen and told him what had happened, Chun Yuzhen became more energetic.
"Don't worry, uncle, I'll ask Ren Ren to go with you!"
I got so much equipment from Yan Kai, but I haven’t opened it yet!
If these were bandits who came here, wouldn't they be giving them military honors?
Although he had taken refuge with his clan uncle Chun Yunan as a captain, if he wanted to be promoted, he would have to earn military merit by himself. Wouldn't this opportunity come?
