Before Shi Qingluo came, he had roughly calculated how many pounds of milk would be produced, so he asked Xiao Hanzheng to bring a lot of sacks with him.
Then the potatoes were packed into sacks and loaded onto a horse-drawn carriage by the people from the county government.
The clan leader and the villagers all stared at the carriage as if they were looking at some peerless beauty.
Shi Qingluo laughed when he saw this: "We will take these potatoes to the capital to present to His Majesty, and then ask His Majesty to allow us to keep some in Heyang County for seed."
“When the time comes, we’ll try to allocate some planting to each village, so your village will have a chance too.”
She thought for a moment and added, "I will have more corn seeds this year, so every village can grow some corn."
The emperor has granted permission for all the corn planted by the Taoist temple in Nanxi County this year to be hers.
She also planted a lot of them on her farm in the capital.
However, the corn planted is spring corn, so it will take another two months to harvest.
The previous arrangement was that the clan leader and others in Nanxi County would help collect the items and find someone to send them to the capital, and then when the people from the capital came to Heyang County, they would bring them back.
She plans to popularize the cultivation of corn, potatoes and peppers in Heyang County.
When the clan leader and others heard her words, they were all very excited.
"On behalf of everyone in the village, I want to thank you, ma'am."
The clan leader even wanted to kneel down to express his gratitude, but was immediately stopped by Shi Qingluo.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "My husband is the father and mother official of Heyang County. It is his duty to do things for the people. You don't have to be polite."
Although she said this, everyone was still very grateful in their hearts.
Especially when compared with the previous two county magistrates, I think they are even better.
Therefore, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qinglu now have a very good reputation in Heyang County and are highly respected by the people.
It was getting late, so Xiao Hanzheng said goodbye to the clan leader and took the group and potatoes back to the city.
The clan leader and the villagers accompanied them all the way to the village entrance and only returned to the village after seeing them leave.
If they could really grow high-yield crops like potatoes and corn, they would no longer have to go hungry in the future.
The lady is a little fairy, sent by the old immortal to save everyone from danger.
There is also the Goose King, who is the guardian fairy pet of their entire Heyang County.
In the hearts of the villagers, Shi Qingluo and Daidai suddenly gained a very high status.
The news that Daidai had discovered high-yield crops had spread throughout the county.
When Xiao Hanzheng and others came back, many people were waiting at the gate of the county government office to join in the fun.
As soon as the group got off the carriage, someone immediately looked at Xiao Hanzheng and his wife and asked, "Master Xiao, Madam, I heard that you found high-yield crops. Is that true?"
The person next to him smiled and said, "I heard that Daidai found it."
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and nodded to everyone, "Yes, Daidai accidentally discovered a plant called potato in the mountains."
"Then my wife's master appeared in her dream and told her that this was a high-yield grain."
"We have tried it ourselves and confirmed that it is edible."
"Today I went to that mountain again and found a potato vine that could grow a bunch of potatoes. I dug up all the potatoes and brought them back."
"We also calculated that the yield of potatoes per mu should be between 3,000 and 5,000 kilograms, which confirms that it is a very high-yield crop."
The onlookers stared with wide eyes, "What? One acre can actually produce several thousand kilograms."
"Oh my god, this is too scary."
"One acre of land can produce so much. This is God's blessing to Daliang!"
"Daidai is so awesome, he deserves to be the Goose King."
"Madam is indeed the disciple of the old immortal. She was immediately visited in her dream as soon as she got the potatoes."
"The old immortal definitely doesn't want everyone to go hungry again, so he sent his wife and Dai Dai to help everyone."
"I think the lady looks like a fairy."
Everyone praised it in various ways, and felt more and more stunned in their hearts. It was the Goose King fairy pet sent by the old immortal to protect Shi Qingluo.
And because of the dream, Shi Qingluo was shrouded in a veil of mystery.
Then the yamen runners carried bags of potatoes back to the county government office.
Zhuo Zheng and Liang Mingyu also rushed over.
Zhuo Zheng was regretting his decision to the core.
He shouldn't have pretended to have a stomachache yesterday and not followed Shi Qingluo to the village.
We should go with them today, as they can produce thousands of kilograms of grain.
If I follow him, maybe I can even shamelessly ask Shi Qingluo for some.
He cursed Liang Mingmin several times in his heart. If it weren't for this woman who insisted on having him accompany her for dinner, she would have delayed his going to the county government office again today.
Then he will also be the one who witnesses the discovery of such high-yield grain.
At this moment, his resentment towards Liang Mingmin was even deeper, and he hated her more than just ordinary things.
Liang Mingyu saw the benefits behind potatoes.
So he took the initiative to find Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.
He didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Master Xiao, what are you going to do with these potatoes?"
Xiao Hanzheng replied: "Of course it was sent to the capital."
Liang Mingyu smiled and said, "This is a high-yield grain discovered in northern Xinjiang. I think it would be better to promote it in northern Xinjiang first."
"Why don't you send them to Prince Jin's Mansion and let my father send people to plant them in the northern border?"
If potatoes could be promoted by the Prince Jin's Palace, it would surpass the reputation of the emperor obtaining corn seeds before.
This shows that his father is also the true emperor. The yield of potatoes per mu is even higher than that of corn.
In addition to the reputation, if such high-yield grains are planted in the northern border, the private army maintained by Prince Jin's Mansion will no longer have to worry about food and fodder.
So no matter what, these potato seeds must be planted in northern Xinjiang.
Before Xiao Hanzheng could answer, Shi Qingluo shook his head and said, "No, we still have to send him to the capital."
Liang Mingyu didn't expect her to answer, "Why? Isn't it a good thing to let the people in the northern border grow crops and eat their fill first?"
Shi Qingluo said: "It is indeed a good thing, but these potatoes were found by my goose. It wants to send them to the capital, and I cannot go against its wish."
Liang Mingyu: “…” This excuse is really fresh and unconventional.
He asked with a bad look on his face, "How do you know Daidai wants to be sent to the capital? Why does it have to be sent to the capital?"
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this obvious?"
Liang Mingyu was a little confused, "???"
Shi Qingluo quickly answered his inner question, "Princess Zhen of your Jin Palace wants to kill me, Goose, and asks me to wait. Do you think I, Goose, will give potato seeds to Jin Palace to plant?"
"My goose is a petty-minded goose. I won't be so generous to those who want to kill and stew it."
"Princess Zhen is definitely still thinking about killing my goose and its family. My goose is very scared."
He stood there in a daze, calling out to Liang Mingyu a few times as if in agreement.
What it meant was that the ugly woman wanted to stew me, and I was a fool to send the potatoes to her family.
Liang Mingyu: “…” It turns out that the root of the trouble lies with Liang Mingmin.
He looked at Shi Qingluo's righteous look and thought that it might not be Daidai who was narrow-minded, but her.
