The ground was dug and the grass was cleared.

Wang Ruixue took Lingzhi and Mu Han to get cow dung from the cowshed and piled it in the ground. Then they collected some leaves and weeds and mixed them with the cow dung. Then they cut grass from the mountains, covered the cow dung, and finally pressed a few pieces on it. Dashi, fermented cow dung, this fertilizer will be better, it only takes a few days in hot weather.

"Have you heard? Someone from the imperial court is here, and they are in Tianmen Village now?"

"Oh, this isn't the most shocking thing. I heard that the yield of cassava per acre is two thousand?"

"Real or false? The yield per acre is two thousand catties?"

"Hey, I can't lie to you. Yao Peng and his mother-in-law have gone to Tianmen Village to help."

"Why don't you go take a look? I heard the county magistrate is here too?"

"Come on, come on, I haven't seen the high official yet?"

The news of a visitor from the imperial court and a cassava yield of two thousand kilograms per acre quickly spread throughout the eight villages in the ten miles. Many villagers came to Tianmen Village to distinguish the true from the false?

Although I was afraid that the officials would not get too close, my curiosity outweighed my fear.

When they saw the long and big cassava dug out of the ground, everyone was so stunned that their eyes almost didn't pop out.

"My dear, old man, I've lived for most of my life, but this is the first time I've seen such a big man?"

"I'm afraid it weighs ten pounds, right?"

"Didn't you say that someone from the imperial court is coming? Where are they?"

"Shh, please keep your voice down and don't rush into the official."

Someone had seen it before, so he quietly pointed at the fat and thin adults working and Magistrate Meng.

The villager's eyes were full of disbelief, "My dear, this official is also working!" For fear that his voice would be too loud, he hurriedly covered his mouth, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

"Oh, no matter what you say this year? My family will grow cassava."

After five days, the cow dung has fermented and the smell of fermented cow dung is not so pungent.

Move the stone away and uncover the grass outside, revealing the fermented cow dung. The cow dung is dark brown and has a mild taste.

Spread the fermented cow dung on the ground, and then let Wang Zifu drive the cows to plow the land twice. This will allow the cow dung and soil to mix fully and evenly, so that some soil will not be devoid of nutrients.

After the land is plowed, water is sprinkled to make the land moist. Then Wang Ruixue divides the one acre of land into three thirds.

Place the sweet potatoes one by one in the ground and cover with soil.

Cut the potatoes into cubes and mix them with plant ash to prevent insects. Dig out ridges and plant them every half a foot, then cover them with soil.

Finally, four corns were planted every half foot, not much, and they were planted in two days.

The county magistrate brought carts and horses to Tianmen Village and transported carts of cassava to Lingshui County.

The scene was spectacular. One cart was filled with bags of cassava. Wang Ruixue counted about two hundred carts, pulled by horses, oxen, and mules.

A few days later, "ta da..." a rapid sound of horse hooves came, and then a soldier got off his horse and saluted Lord Fatty and Magistrate Meng.

"Report, I am here to pay my respects to Mr. Li, Mr. Wu, and Magistrate Meng. Mr. Sinongqing is on his way to Lingshui County."

"What?" Mr. Li was stunned at first, and then his eyes filled with excitement, "Sir Nongqing is coming?"

"Yes, my lord," the soldier responded.

"Oh, then we have to go and greet him." Mr. Wu's beard trembled excitedly.

"I wonder if Lord Sinongqing took the official road or the waterway?" Magistrate Meng asked with suppressed excitement.

"Return to the county magistrate, waterway." The soldier still said respectfully.

"Let's go back to Lingshui County and wait." Mr. Li said excitedly.

"Yes," the other two people also nodded and left the arrangements for the master here. The three of them immediately went back to change clothes and left Tianmen Village.

"Oh my god, is there another official in the court?"

"I wonder what official position Master Sinongqing holds?"

"Needless to say, it should be higher than Lord Li Wu and the county magistrate."

Wang Lizheng once read in book history that the position of Sinong Qing was the largest official in Sinong Temple, with a rank of third rank.

He wished in his heart that if he could see Lord Sinongqing, his life would be worth dying.

The villagers didn't know what position Sinongqing held, but they knew that Sinongqing should be higher than Li Wu and the county magistrate.

I have been busy for half a month and have dug all the cassava. Fortunately, God has been kind and it didn't rain. Otherwise, it would have been delayed a lot of time.

The imperial court was conscientious and did not take them all away. They left some for Tianmen Village, and Wang Ruixue's family kept four thousand catties.

"Da da..." Another sound of horse hooves came as they headed towards Li Zheng's house.

After a while, Wang Li was beating the gong to inform the whole village to put on clean clothes and greet Mr. Sinongqing.

Suddenly the whole Tianmen Village became heated, and the faces of all the villagers were filled with excitement.

"Ouch, Lord Sinongqing is coming. There is smoke rising from the graves of our ancestors in Tianmen Village."

"No, I can see the officials of the imperial court in this life. Oh, it's worth dying."

"Quickly, let's see if my clothes are okay. Oh, this is my newest one. My mother-in-law made it for me."

Everyone's faces were full of uncontrollable excitement when you said something to me.

As the villagers were eagerly anticipating it, the carriage slowly appeared in the sight of the villagers.

The team arrived at Tianmen Village in great force. The villagers had awe and excitement in their eyes. They lowered their heads one after another, but they couldn't help but take a sneak peek.

When the carriage stopped, Wang Ruixue raised her head and looked secretly. The officials coming off the two carriages in front knew each other, Mr. Li Wu and Magistrate Meng.

The carriage behind stopped, and the two carriages in front gave way. The coachman quickly placed a stool next to the carriage, and then lifted the curtain.

I saw an old man in purple official uniform walking out of the carriage, with a peacock embroidered on his chest. His hair was neatly combed in a bun, and he wore a black gauze hat on his head. A short strand of silver wire fell out of his temples in a rebellious manner.

His eyes are stern but deep, and his facial features are strong yet soft. Time has left traces on his face. The Sichuan pattern between his eyebrows is like a tall mountain, showing insurmountable majesty. His thin lips are tightly pursed, and he is unsmiling. The goatee on his chin flutters in the wind.

There was an aura of calmness and authority about him, as if there was an invisible pressure that made everyone present dare not look at him.

The villagers knelt down and saluted, "Caomin (women of the people, women of the people) pay homage to the Lord."

"Everyone, please get up. There is no need to be polite. I am here this time specifically to see the heroes who grew cassava. This time you are actually the heroes of the Wei State!"

His voice was deep and rich, with a hint of hoarseness, like the sound of a classical piano.

"Thank you, sir." When the villagers heard the official's compliment, their eyes were full of excitement and nervousness, and their hands and feet were shaking with excitement.

"I wonder where Miss Wang is?" Sinongqing looked for Wang Ruixue among the villagers.

The villagers looked back at Wang Ruixue and immediately gave way.

Wang Ruixue stepped forward and saluted, "Daughter of the common people, I have met your Excellency."

Sinongqing looked at Wang Ruixue. The little girl was wearing a pink floral skirt and a hanging bun. She had no stage fright in front of him and was very elegant.

He nodded slightly, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes, "Haha, no need to be formal, Miss Wang is more beautiful than the son!"

You have made great contributions to the country this time. Once cassava is grown nationwide, it will feed the lives of tens of millions of people. "

"Your Excellency, this is a ridiculous compliment. Folk girls don't dare to take credit, but it's just a bit of luck.

To be more powerful, it should be Mr. Li and Mr. Wu of Sinong Temple. If they hadn't discovered the pests and spent all their sleep and food developing pesticides, I'm afraid the output this time would have been very small.

Also, Magistrate Meng County worked hard to provide food and clothing for the people of Lingshui County. He personally visited Tianmen Village privately. If he had not informed His Majesty in a memorial, no one would have known about the importance of cassava.

Finally, there are the villagers. They are willing to believe in the daughter of the people. The daughter of the people is very grateful. The greatest credit for this should be attributed to His Majesty. If His Majesty did not pay attention to it, the cassava would probably be just an edible tree root. "

Wang Ruixue's words were modest and beautiful. By sharing the credit, she would not arouse jealousy and win the gratitude of others.

The people present looked at Wang Ruixue with shock and gratitude in their eyes.

Sinong Qingchuan's character lines deepened unconsciously. He didn't like flatterers, but this girl was very good at talking and couldn't be disliked.

I can't help but feel good about her even more. Although these words sound like flattery, I have to say that these words are beautiful, but she is smart. She is not arrogant and does not take all the credit. I am afraid that few people can do this.
