"Won't Shutong introduce us to the emperor?" The village chief looked at old man Zhao.

Their six villages have a lot of sweet potatoes to donate.

Zhao Shutong also deserves credit for helping them introduce them.

"Seventh brother, Shutong also has his difficulties. After he discovered that the sweet potato had made great contributions to the emperor, many people watched his every move. The concubine's natal family bullied Shutong and had no power. The thousand-jin corn was taken away from him, and it's too late for him to keep a low profile at this time, so it's really not suitable for showing off." Uncle Wutang said.

"It's not that Shutong doesn't care about us anymore. He gave an idea and asked the third brother to tell you that let's hand over the sweet potatoes directly to the adults who came to buy them. The adults who bought them will report to the emperor, and he will also secretly Give it a try."

The village chief didn't understand from Uncle Wutang's words why Zhao Shutong was not suitable to be in the limelight at this time, but it didn't prevent him from thinking about it, thinking that Zhao Shutong might have something unspeakable.Much credit has been given to the discovery of high-yield grains, and everyone wants them.If you can't find those powerful and powerful, why don't you just stare at Zhao Shutong who has found two.

After all, people will never meet one in their life, and Zhao Shutong found two after visiting Fanshi twice, so he will definitely find more in the future.

Concubine Rou's natal family can grab it, and other people such as princes and princes may also come to grab it.

Because of the corn matter, Zhao Shutong had already turned against Concubine Rou's natal family.With such a big enemy staring at him in court, it would definitely be inconvenient to act.Because Zhao Shutong has developed sweet potatoes, many people in the village are jealous of him, and there must be more people in the court who are jealous of him.

And Shutong will definitely show off the limelight by recommending sweet potatoes to the emperor for them. Some enemies may not understand that he always makes meritorious deeds, or someone wants to please Concubine Rou's family, so he will trip Shutong on this. It will also hurt them.Zhao Shutong probably did not ask for credit for them in order not to implicate them in private.But in the end, Zhao Shutong didn't leave their village alone, and the village chief felt that he deserved Zhao Shutong's favor.

But the village chief didn't know that the truth was cruel. If the people in charge of purchasing hadn't ignorant of their achievements and kept the emperor from knowing, Zhao Shutong would not have come forward.Even if the emperor didn't give rewards, Zhao Shutong would not ask for them.

Almost being fooled by Uncle Wutang, the old man Zhao who sat there not talking much but with a determined face, and his own brain, the village chief finally regained some sanity.

"Since Shutong said so, there must be nothing wrong. Let's discuss the offering of sweet potatoes."

The village chief changed the subject too quickly, Old Man Zhao and Uncle Wutang glanced at each other.

Before they met the village chief, they were almost crazy to persuade people to offer sweet potatoes, thinking that the village chief must be difficult to persuade, but they did not expect the village chief to agree with them so easily.

If the village chief knew what these two people were thinking, he could only say that there was no turning back when he opened his bow. He had united with the five surrounding villages to offer sweet potatoes. Many people in the village were suppressed by force. By this time If he repents, he and the other five village chiefs will lose their prestige among the villagers, and some thorns will take the opportunity to make trouble, so they can only bite the bullet and go on.Even if the emperor didn't issue a decree to reward them, after this time their sweet potatoes can be bought and sold freely, and the lost money can be made back soon.

"Fifth brother, how many sweet potatoes can you take out?" The village chief looked at Uncle Wutang with burning eyes.

Uncle Wutang's scalp was numb from his sight.

Every time his seventh brother thinks of him for the first time, he either needs to pay for things or needs money.

With such a younger brother on the table, Uncle Wutang was also a little helpless.

"Thirty thousand catties." Uncle Wutang said, he had gained ten acres of land by himself, which was not a small amount. There were several families in the village with more than a dozen people who still didn't have ten acres of land.

But the village chief was not satisfied.

The sweet potatoes that his fifth brother planted a few times ago were used for breeding. Now he has planted hundreds of acres of sweet potatoes, and the sweet potatoes do not need to pay taxes. There are many remaining.His fifth brother squeezed almost a million catties of sweet potatoes in his hands alone. When Zhao Shutong first started planting sweet potatoes, he gave away all the sweet potatoes for seedlings, and he didn't have as many sweet potatoes as his fifth brother. Thirty thousand catties was too much for him. Fifth Brother is just a drop in the bucket.

The village chief began to strengthen Brother Keng, trying to persuade Uncle Wutang to do more. Uncle Wutang is a wealthy family in the village and the elder brother of the village chief, so he should take the lead among the villagers.Otherwise, their family members would not be willing to give up anything, and the villagers would not know how to talk about him as the village chief.

Under the pestering of the village chief, Uncle Wutang bit the bullet and agreed to deliver 15 catties of sweet potatoes.

The old man Zhao said that he would produce 20 catties of sweet potatoes, and the village chief and Uncle Wutang were shocked by such a generous amount.People in the village don’t have much land in their hands. His brother, who has land in other places, is only willing to pay 15 catties after being pestered by him. Unexpectedly, the third brother gave away 20 in one go. His son has a future and is filial. , the third brother is also rich.

"Third brother, you pay 20? Shutong asked you to pay so much?" The village chief stuttered. "It has nothing to do with my son. I came up with it myself. The 20 catties of sweet potatoes were saved from the land I planted for a year. I can grow them again if they are gone, but there are not many opportunities to do things for the court. I The little grandson was just born, and as the child's grandfather, I have nothing to give him, so I just want to do more good things for the child while I can still move and go to the ground, so as to save him good fortune so that he can grow up safely." Old Man Zhao's expression softened when he mentioned Little Sweet Potato.

He doesn't have any great skills, what he can do for his grandson is to accumulate blessings for his grandson, hoping to bless Little Sweet Potato to grow up healthily.

"Third brother, my nephew and grandson will definitely grow up well."

Uncle Wutang was infected by the old man Zhao, and also increased the amount of sweet potatoes offered to 20 catties.

After Zhao Shutong knew about it, he was also amazed at Old Man Zhao's generosity.

His father had always been an honest farmer, and even after being an old man, he didn't want to enjoy the blessings. He wanted to go back to the farm to farm, but he didn't expect to have such courage.

However, Zhao Shutong didn't intend to stop his father.

Since he married Xiqi last year, his father has been living in Zhuangzi and tending the fields.These sweet potatoes were planted by him with the sharecroppers, and he could do with them what he wanted.

"Little sweet potato, you are so precious. Your grandfather donated all the sweet potatoes he planted for a year to pray for you." Pei Qi poked Zhao Zhuxin's face and said.

Zhao Zhuxin was ignorant, not knowing that his grandfather was such an honest man, the only major thing he did in his life was for him.Saliva slowly flowed out along the corner of his mouth poked open by his mother.

Pei Qi hurriedly wiped off Zhao Zhuxin's saliva with the pocket on his chest, and looked at Little Sweet Potato sympathetically.

With 20 catties of sweet potatoes on his body, he would not even have an excuse for not studying hard in the future, otherwise his grandfather would be sorry for the 20 catties of sweet potatoes.

Pei Qi gloated over Zhao Zhuxin's misfortune at home, but the court was shocked because Shitai Village and other six villages donated 400 million catties of sweet potatoes to the court to subsidize the people in the Northwest to raise seedlings for the people in the Northwest.

Some adults who don't care about farming and mulberry know how to farm, this time they intuitively saw how amazing the yield of sweet potatoes is.

After the emperor went to Shitai Village to harvest the sweet potatoes himself last year, there were not many sweet potatoes left for Zhao Juren.Now the six villages have only been planting for one year, and the accumulated sweet potatoes have reached millions of catties, which is really longer than weeds.

With sweet potatoes, Daqi really won't have hungry people anymore.

It is not surprising that the emperor's Huangzhuang has data on the harvest of sweet potatoes.

Those who arranged to go to Shitai Village and other villages to collect sweet potatoes were the emperor's people. The sweet potatoes received last time and most of the sweet potatoes grown in Huangzhuang were sent to the northwest to be distributed to the common people for planting, but these were far from enough. Scarcity of people is still lack of food and lack of seedlings of sweet potatoes.

This time, the village chiefs of the six villages took the initiative to find the person who was in charge of buying sweet potatoes in their village last time, and stated that they would dedicate this year's sweet potatoes to the imperial court.The person in charge didn't dare to hide the truth from the emperor, so he immediately investigated and reported the matter clearly.Among them, how the village chief persuaded the old man Zhao, and how he persuaded the other five village chiefs in the name of Zhao Shutong, Zhao Shutong never came forward from the beginning to the end, and some careful thoughts leaked by the village chief were all found out.

But the emperor didn't care about these small thoughts.

He asked people to call Pei Shilang and Zhao Shutong to the imperial study.

"Shitai Village is really a good place with outstanding people. First there are heroes like Aiqing, and then there are villagers who are benevolent and righteous to donate food to the people in the northwest." The emperor praised Zhao Shutong.

The emperor's thoughts are generally deep, and Zhao Shutong is not sure whether this praise is true or false, "The emperor praised him absurdly. The ancestors in the village have always taught us the younger generation by being loyal to the emperor and loving the country. It is our blessing to have the opportunity to do something for the imperial court for the suffering compatriots, and the young and strong women and children in the village are all proud of it."

"What a loyal and patriotic country. Aiqing's father donated 20 catties of sweet potatoes. It's really a family tradition. A tiger father has no dogs."

"The emperor told me that I only had a son when I was about to stand up. My father had hoped for a grandson and was overjoyed for a long time, so he donated all the sweet potatoes he planted in the past year to pray for the son."

"The old man also loves his grandson deeply."

The people expressed their loyalty to him and offered food, so the emperor couldn't be stingy and refuse to reward him.

Since he obtained two high-yield grains, he intends to vigorously develop agriculture among the people.

Before the emperor, he had the idea of ​​setting up some agricultural officials with no rank, no rank, no salary, and only a name to reward good farmers from all over the country and encourage the people to work hard in farming.I originally planned to wait until the incident in the Northwest passed before launching it.Now Shitai Village and other six villages have donated 400 million catties of grain to the Northwest, just to promote this idea.

The emperor also planned to give several village chiefs and Uncle Wutang who donated 20 catties of sweet potatoes like Zhao Laohan the title of agricultural official, but Zhao Shutong hurriedly stood up and refused.
