"Our lives were saved by Lady Lin. Lady Lin is the living Bodhisattva sent by God to save the common people. Your Majesty must give Lady Lin a reward."

Li Mingsi looked at Lin Shuangshuang in shock. Just now, he was still thinking about what this woman had done to make all the people kneel down and ask for rewards on her behalf.

Go up the mountain to dig lotus roots, go down to the water to catch fish, harvest potatoes in autumn, and pick acorns in winter?

Apart from fish, which he knew, what were the other things?

Is this what she relies on to support these unknown people?

Soon more and more people came to ask for credit for Lin Shuangshuang. Li Mingsi reacted and hurriedly appeased the people.

"Don't worry, folks. I am here to reward Mrs. Lin based on the emperor's order. Mrs. Lin's development of a miracle medicine to prevent the plague is a great achievement."

Upon hearing Li Mingsi's words, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

"Bingwen, you will follow Mr. Wen and Mr. Chen to resettle these victims. Let Xiaohu stay and accompany me to visit Hegou Village."

"Yes."

After getting Li Mingsi's promise, everyone happily packed up and prepared to go home.

Lin Shuangshuang Village Chief Huzi and others accompanied Li Bingwen to understand the situation in the village.

Li Mingsi was very curious about how Lin Shuangshuang managed the victims in such an orderly manner under such severe conditions.

There were more than 10,000 disaster victims, but only more than 1,000 casualties, and only a few dozen people died of freezing and starvation. Such a casualty rate would not have been achieved even if he was here personally.

Li Mingsi saw the huge wheel in the middle of the river at a glance, and asked curiously: "What is that?"

"My lord, that's a waterwheel."

"Sir, this waterwheel was invented by Mrs. Lin. We used this big waterwheel to drain the water in the river so that we could catch all the fish and shrimp in the river."

"If it weren't for these fish, shrimp and lotus roots, we wouldn't be able to get the potatoes to mature."

Some villagers who were watching the excitement saw Li Mingsi's approachable appearance, so they dared to answer the question boldly.

"Waterwheel, drain the river?"

"Yes, it's not all drained. Most of it was drained away, leaving a little water at the bottom of the river. We poured it out with basins and buckets."

"Ms. Lin also said that this water tanker can also pump river water directly to the fields. From now on, we won't have to carry buckets of water to irrigate the fields."

Li Mingsi's eyes lit up. If this was really the case, this thing would be of great use.

He asked curiously: "How does this thing pump water?"

Lin Shuangshuang immediately whispered something to the village chief next to him, who nodded and left.

"Sir, the village chief has gone to get people ready. The girl will demonstrate it to you in a moment."

Li Mingsi nodded: "Okay, let's go look for something else first. I heard those people say you also found edible lotus roots and acorns. What are they?"

"Oh, by the way, there are also potatoes. What's the yield per acre? Can it feed ten thousand people?"

Lin Shuangshuang replied respectfully: "Sir, lotus root is the rhizome of the lotus. It grows in the mud and is covered with small holes. It can be used as a staple food or a vegetable. It can be boiled or eaten cold. It is crisp and refreshing, and tastes great.

"But the lotus roots are out of season. I'm afraid you won't be able to see them now and will have to wait until next year."

"You can see potatoes and acorns."

"Potatoes can be used as staple food or vegetables. The yield per mu can reach 10,000 kilograms. They can replace staple foods such as rice and wheat. I hope you can promote it throughout the Yu Dynasty so that people will not go hungry."

Li Mingsi's eyes widened with excitement: "A yield of ten thousand catties per mu?"

"Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. If it hadn't been for this plague, we would have distributed all the potatoes to the victims, and we would have left enough seeds so that the whole village could grow potatoes next year."

"It's a pity that there are not many potatoes now. After all, survival is important..."

"Do you still have potato seeds at home?"

"There are still some left. The folk girl can make some dishes for the adults to try."

Li Mingsi was very excited. This was a big deal, a big deal.

He was so excited that his breathing was a little rapid. He could produce tens of thousands of kilograms of divine food per acre, and he could grow it three to four seasons a year. What kind of concept was this?

If it were true, wouldn't the grain output of Dayu directly increase by more than a hundred times? ! !

Lin Shuangshuang looked at Li Mingsi's unsteady breathing and could understand his excitement. After all, she knew better than anyone else what potatoes meant to Dayu.

"Quick...take me to have a look."

Lin Shuangshuang led Li Mingsi to his home, followed by a large group of villagers watching the fun.

Huzi's father was still floating when he walked, but Huzi's mother slapped him awake.

Li Bingwen felt his face hurt when he looked at it, and then he realized why Huzi said that his father woke up when he saw his mother.

Tsk tsk tsk, how dare you not wake up with the strength of this big dick?

"What's going on? What's wrong with you?"

Huzi's father was slapped in the face in public, but he still giggled: "Our Huzi has become an official, and our Lao Wang family has made a fortune."

"Blessed by our ancestors, someone in our old Wang family will become an official."

Hu Zi Niang looked at her man and almost fainted with excitement. She was so scared that she slapped him awake again.

"Are you feeling better??"

"much better."

"Calm down, don't embarrass your son. Our son is now an official." When Hu Ziniang spoke, she involuntarily raised her chest and raised her head, feeling like there was wind under her feet.

"Yes, yes, you can't embarrass your son."

"..."

"Your parents have always been like this, don't you need to go take a look?" Li Bingwen kindly reminded.

Huzi chuckled and shook his head: "Hehe, I also feel that I have become successful."

"Master Li, your Excellency asked you to resettle the victims, why don't you go quickly?"

"It's early. The victims are still packing their things. I won't be able to help them much."

"When the victims have packed up and are ready to leave, it won't be too late for me to follow them."

"Yeah, too."

"Hey, let's go to my sister-in-law's house to join in the fun. Maybe we can also eat the dishes cooked by her. I miss her cooking so much."

Li Bingwen rolled his eyes, otherwise, why do you think I would be so shameless as to stay here? ?

Not just for a hot dish!

"By the way, does Mrs. Lin still have some food left at home? Isn't it said that everyone in the village is so hungry that they are chewing tree bark?"

Huzi's expression changed, yes, no matter how good my sister-in-law's cooking skills are, it's all useless without ingredients.

"This……"

"This, this, this, go to the town and buy it."

"it is good."

As soon as Huzi turned around, he saw several teams of people, horses and carts coming towards this side.

"Mr. Li, we don't need to buy it, it will be delivered to your door."

"Who?"

Li Bingwen looked back and saw Bai Qiushui leading a convoy filled with rice, fruits, vegetables and various chickens, ducks and fish.

Behind her was another team of people, also carrying large and small bags of rice and flour, as well as bedding, winter clothes and other daily necessities.
