Chapter 67 One Hundred...
Cui Lie suddenly understood how Yuan Wei, who was picked on by Liu Hong the last time, felt.
Their court session was indeed quite early, but in this August weather, the heat that had been swallowed up by the prolonged winter seemed to have been returned in full by the summer, and the previous court session had also delayed the time until after sunrise, so that he now only felt a layer of sweat on his back.
He didn't dare to speak to the emperor in court, so it would be better to let Yuan explain the problem. There was no need to ask him, an outsider.
But he certainly couldn't say such things.
This forced him to think frantically.
He has to save himself...
It would be best if we could also get rid of the negative impact caused by the previous statement of "giving up Liangzhou".
In fact, his bad reputation is not just about giving up Liangzhou.
Liu Hong felt that he was a "choice" for Cui Lie when necessary, but from Cui Lie's perspective, that was not the case.
Because of his position as a Stuart——
It was bought.
As for him, his grandfather was a famous writer in the Han Dynasty. He himself was also very ambitious. In his early years, he became a famous scholar in Jizhou. He first served as a prefect and then as a minister of justice.
Then he thought, since San Gong was also sold at a price, wouldn't it be possible for him to buy it and satisfy his craving?
But Liu Hong's price of 10 million was a little too much, so he did something outrageous.
Through the connections of Liu Hong's mother, Madam Cheng, he only spent five million to become the Si Tu, which was half the price.
Liu Hong placed with satisfaction a golden signboard of "Famous Scholar of Jizhou" where Yuan Wei had originally sat. Although he felt a little regretful that he received five million less, overall the loss was not great.
But Cui Lie is in a bit of trouble.
A month ago, he asked his son Cui Jun, also known as Cui Zhouping, what others think of him now.
Cui Zhouping will be able to hang out with Zhuge Liang in the future, so one can imagine what kind of temper he has.
He did not want to give his old father any face, and immediately said that in your current situation, "people will despise you for your money-grubbing." Cui Lie was so angry that he pulled out his walking stick and was about to beat his son.
This incident undoubtedly caused him considerable psychological trauma.
Since he first obtained the official position of one of the Three Dukes through improper means and then made an inappropriate statement, his answer at this time was very important.
If it works, maybe he can wash off the bad reputation. If not, he can prepare to die to preserve his reputation.
Cui Lie took a deep breath, realizing that he had heard some bias in Liu Hong's words, so he replied: "I think that both of them are innocent, and the mistake was to put them in the same place."
Seeing Liu Hong signaling him to continue, Cui Lie said, "Le Ping Hou is the grandson of Qiao Gongzu. When Zhou Zhongxiang was the governor of Yuzhou, Qiao Gongzu was a Gongcao of a small county in Liang State. He dared to stop the road and ask for the removal of Yang Chang. He ignored the power of the general Liang Ji and escorted Yang Chang to Luoyang for questioning. Therefore, he can be called a righteous man. Le Ping Hou inherited his grandfather's legacy and acted passionately. It was normal."
Cui Lie carefully wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead while holding the sceptre.
If Liu Hong had not blamed Zhang Yi for being "kidnapped" by Qiao Yan instead of blaming Qiao Yan for holding the governor hostage, Cui Lie would still have wanted to say that this kid's behavior was wrong.
But there is this invisible hint from Liu Hong——
Or maybe she has inherited Qiao Xuan's legacy.
In fact, he was not wrong. When General Liang Ji was still able to cover up everything, Qiao Xuan actually dared to investigate the crimes of Yang Chang, whom he had protected, and sent him to Luoyang in a prison cart. He was truly a man of iron-blooded tactics and a stubborn mind.
Well, it's really not surprising that Qiao Yan acts in this way.
He continued, "Zhang Zitai is a man of pure conversation and moderation. He attached great importance to moral education when he was the Prime Minister of Chen. I think it was what Yuan Gong wished for, and it was his actions that helped the Southern Xiongnu settle in Bingzhou."
Liu Hong did not produce the correspondence between Yuan Shao and Zhang Yi - since he still had some intention to suppress Qiao Yan, he would not produce such decisive evidence - so Cui Lie only thought that Zhang Yi was deprived of power by Qiao Yan without accomplishing any real work, and after thinking about it, he found a little beautifying statement for him.
When Cui Lie said this, he carefully glanced in the direction of Liu Hong and found that he was not dissatisfied with these two sentences, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He then concluded: "Le Ping Hou is a man of hot temper and unruly, while Zhang Zitai is a man of orderly conduct. One of them is outside the order, while the other is within it, so they are bound to clash. What happened today was nothing more than the result of their personalities."
"What the Marquis of Leping did was for the country and the people, and Zhang Zitai did nothing wrong. Since the locust plague in Bingzhou has been resolved, Your Majesty does not need to be angry about this."
Cui Lie felt that his words, which were slightly biased towards Qiao Yan, should be similar to what Liu Hong wanted to hear.
It was obvious that he didn't offend either side.
In fact, Liu Hong's tendency is easy to explain.
The long-standing failure to conquer Liangzhou, which had wasted manpower at a time when the locust plague was at its worst, did not change the emperor's plan to withdraw the soldiers, and he was determined not to give up Liangzhou. It can be seen that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, His Majesty has particularly liked such upright and enterprising people.
Because once there is a change in the world, such a person can immediately become a military commander.
Therefore, Marquis Leping must be protected.
But what she did this time was too extreme, even beyond the level of what Qiao Xuan did. Your Majesty should probably still suppress her a little.
As expected, Liu Hong immediately followed up with a cold question: "According to what Cui Situ said, if a provincial governor does not fulfill his duties, it can be called a pure talker, but a county magistrate who does not respect the law and discipline and robs the provincial governor, can it be called a powerful and arrogant person?"
Cui Lie quickly replied, "That is not my intention. He must be punished, but Leping Hou is a man who cares about the people and has the talent to quell rebellions. If he is really imprisoned, it will hurt the people of Bingzhou. Zhang Zitai is just inactive, but not without virtue. If he is dismissed from his post, it may hurt the people's support for Your Majesty. Therefore, the punishment must be severe."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yuan Ji say, "I think so too."
With Yuan Ji's support, Cui Lie finally gained a little more courage and straightened his chest a little.
However, in the opinion of the observing Taiwei Zhang Yan, the two people had different focuses in their remarks.
Cui Lie's goal was to follow the Majesty's idea and get Qiao Yan out of the charge of holding the governor hostage, while Yuan Ji wanted to get Zhang Yi out of the idea of being a member of the Yuan family.
He continued to be a spectator in silence, and also took a look at Liu Hong's expression. He felt that His Majesty had become more mature and experienced in the way of checks and balances of power.
But no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this didn't seem to be a long-term solution.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing is not something he should talk about. Perhaps the next time a natural disaster occurs, he will become a shield and be removed from his post.
The current balance in the court is not something he should interfere with.
He just listened to Liu Hong asking at this time: "Then according to your two beloved ministers' opinions, how should I deal with these two people?"
Upon hearing Liu Hong's words, Yuan Ji responded first: "Le Ping Hou's act of kidnapping the governor should not be imitated, but she is still young, so the punishment should be reduced."
As soon as Yuan Ji opened his mouth, he noticed that Cui Lie gave him a look of gratitude, obviously wanting to thank him for answering the question first.
But is it possible for Yuan Ji to choose the order in which to answer?
In the final analysis, when Liu Hong questioned Cui Lie, he was actually just showing him his attitude.
Zhang Yi is a disciple of the Yuan family. Now that he has committed a mistake, giving an excuse to exonerate Qiao Yan is actually to maintain the decent reputation of the Yuan family.
If anyone else in the court were to answer this question, they would definitely reprimand Qiao Yan for his unreasonable behavior.
But anyone can say this except Yuan Ji.
Even though he felt that this matter was trouble caused by Yuan Shao, he had to clear it up first because the aristocratic families were one family.
He continued, "In my humble opinion, it would be better to confine Marquis Leping for three or two years and assign him a famous etiquette teacher to make him behave properly from now on. Marquis Leping is a man of great talent and was able to turn the tide when faced with a locust plague. He is truly a pillar of the Han Dynasty, so we should educate him with caution."
"As for Zhang Zitai——"
After pondering for a while, Yuan Ji replied: "Bingzhou is a place full of tigers and wolves. It is not suitable for him to stay here for a long time with his literary talent. It would be better to remove him from the post of governor and give him a position as a prefect of a prefecture in the Central Plains to continue his training."
It was Yuan who had supported him before, and now putting him back to where he should have been, I'm afraid this is just what Your Majesty wants.
After hearing Liu Hong ponder for a moment and reply with the word "yes", Yuan Ji realized that he had done the right thing.
This sentence could only be uttered by the Yuan family, to ensure that this matter of the county marquis seizing power from the prefect would not cause greater waves.
But it would also prevent Liu Hong's anger over Zhang Yi's incompetence from affecting the Yuan family.
With this beginning, the subsequent arrangements will be much easier.
But there is another complication in this matter.
Liu Hong looked around and asked, "Bingzhou is suffering from a locust plague. We must have a governor to supervise it. In your opinion, who is worthy of being the governor of Bingzhou?"
Since Zhang Yi is to be removed from his post and be appointed as a prefect in a stable place that is more in line with his abilities, who will be the successor?
Talents like Huang Wan are rare, and those with sufficient qualifications and age are mostly in their original suitable positions. It would be inappropriate to transfer them rashly.
But someone has to come out and give Liu Hong an answer. We can't all just stand here quietly.
Cui Lie thought about it and decided to speak.
The previous question was disorienting, but he felt that this question about who to choose as the governor of Bingzhou was relatively easy to answer.
And this might be a good opportunity for him to clear his name.
He replied in a deep voice: "I have something to say."
After Liu Hong agreed, he said: "Earlier, Fu Nanrong said that Liangzhou cannot be abandoned. This is a wake-up call for me. I know that the previous attempt to make the Han Dynasty cut off its own arm was wrong. Therefore, I have to say that Liangzhou cannot be abandoned, and Bingzhou cannot be abandoned either. This is the top priority."
Although this is obviously an attempt to save face and will certainly cause some people to laugh at it, it is definitely better to say it than not say it.
Cui Lie comforted himself and said, "In this case, the new governor of Bingzhou must have a bold mind to lead the war and a courageous will to defeat the Xiongnu."
Listen to what he said, now he has much more backbone!
Cui Lie was quite satisfied with his eloquent performance, and said: "Just as Yuan Taifu said before, Leping Hou needs to be educated by a virtuous and famous scholar and ordered to correct his words and deeds. If we arrange for a scholar to go, Leping is just a small place, so it is inevitable that it will be inappropriate. It is better for the Bingzhou governor to take on this task."
"I think the selected governor of Bingzhou should have both qualities."
However, Cui Lie never expected that the next moment he would hear Liu Hong say, "Then you can go, my dear."
“……?” Cui Lie slowly raised his head.
He was much more confused than when Liu Hong called on him to express his opinion before.
Seeing his performance, Liu Hong asked calmly, "Are you not a person who can teach virtue and morality?"
Cui Lie couldn't say that he didn't count.
The most criticized thing about him was that he spent money to buy an official position, but this matter of buying an official position was caused by Liu Hong. If it is said that this matter is inappropriate, it would undoubtedly mean that Emperor Liu Hong made a wrong decision.
Given his family's inheritance of knowledge and the fact that his son Cui Jun had just been nominated as a filial and incorruptible official, he could not deny this either.
"Aren't you a man who swore to fight against the Huns?" Liu Hong asked again.
Cui Lie also could not deny this problem.
He wanted to slap himself and blame himself for speaking so quickly. Now, he had first said what Fu Xie said to wake him up. Now, if he said again that he did not have the courage to fight the Huns, he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
Since neither of these could be refuted, it was tacitly accepted, and naturally met the conditions he had previously suggested.
According to this, Liu Hong's feeling that he could serve as the governor of Bingzhou was not just a casual remark.
But the position of the governor...
From Si Tu to Governor, this is a downgrade!
Cui Lie felt extremely depressed, but he couldn't help but think of what his good son said when he picked up his cane and wanted to beat his son.
Apart from the famous saying "I accept small sticks and run away if I am severely beaten" which he did not know would be passed down to later generations, Cui Jun also said that in the past, people who mentioned him, Cui Lie, always said that he had the talent of one of the Three Dukes. However, after he chose to buy an official position and become one of the Three Dukes, people in the world no longer thought so, which was the so-called "disappointment of the world."
If he went back and became the governor of Bingzhou and made some contributions while in office, wouldn't it be able to prove again that he really had the ability?
Cui Lie thought quickly in his mind, and finally he bowed to Liu Hong and said, "I obey your command."
But when the court meeting was over, Cui Lie couldn't help but sigh in his heart -
His five million dollars!
He spent a full five million dollars, but was dismissed from this position after only sitting in it for less than half a year. What a mess!
What's more, the Governor of Bingzhou is not an easy position to hold.
From then on, he had to deal with those Hu people, and secondly, he had to teach Qiao Yan, the troublemaker, a lesson as Yuan Ji suggested.
He couldn't even win an argument with his own son, so how could he really win an argument with Qiao Yan, who had the audacity to detain the governor, usurp power, and was once praised by Xu Zijiang as having the "clear voice of a young phoenix"?
Cui Lie felt some doubts in his heart, but tried hard to forget about it for the time being.
After all, all these troubles will have to wait until we arrive in Bingzhou.
Compared to Cui Lie's depression, Liu Hong was undoubtedly much more comfortable.
In his opinion, assigning Cui Lie to the position of Governor of Bingzhou was both a warning and an indulgence to Qiao Yan.
What is a warning?
The Cui family of Boling has been a famous family for generations, and Cui Lie is a famous scholar in Jizhou. In this way, Qiao Yan's unconventional approach can target Zhang Yi, who had not been well-known before, but he can never use the same method against Cui Lie.
In addition, Cui Lie was given the responsibility of supervising the Marquis of Leping, and his status and position also meant that he could keep Qiao Yan under control. Even if he didn't really ask him to become his disciple, he could always restrain his words and deeds.
Why indulgence?
Cui Lie is similar to Cai Yong. He can be a famous scholar but not an important official. Although the former is due to his ability and the latter is due to his relationship with colleagues, in the final analysis, Cui Lie is not suitable to be Si Tu or the Governor of Bingzhou!
Then let him see how far he, a lone minister who expressed his true feelings through a letter of apology and a name for himself, can go!
But there is no need to tell anyone about this plan.
When he heard Zhang Rang carefully ask why Cui Lie was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, and did not know the emperor's intention, Liu Hong, while watching the scene in front of him where the palace servants were pretending to be a street market, replied: "The three officials are worth 10 million coins, Cui Weikao only needs to pay 5 million coins, and the time is only half."
Even though Zhang Rang already knew that Liu Hong's thoughts were sometimes different from those of ordinary people, he still couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this answer.
Nowadays, most of the people in the three highest official positions are dismissed and replaced within a year. According to this logic, Cui Lie only paid half the money, so there is really no problem with him working for half the time.
Moreover, in this way, the vacant Situ position can be put up for sale again.
Zhang Rang heard that Cao Song, Cao Teng's adopted son and Cao Cao's father, was interested in purchasing one of the Three Dukes.
He does have the financial resources.
Although he seemed to prefer the position of Grand Marshal, he would definitely be happy to have a position of Situ, as it might be cheaper.
For Liu Hong, this was another new source of income.
Zhang Rang thought about this clearly and almost gasped.
But before Zhang Rang could make any comment on Liu Hong's carefully calculated plan, he saw the emperor, who had previously changed himself into a merchant's clothes, walking into the pretend street with a hunting dog with a crown on his head, and it was clear that he no longer wanted to ask about the affairs of the court.
After all, he had finished his arrangements for the court today, and it was time for him to enjoy himself.
This was what Liu Hong was thinking at the moment.
The hound wearing the official hat seemed to have inherited the spirit of its master, and moved with its head held high and its chest puffed out even more than those of the ministers.
Liu Hong was very satisfied with this. He turned around and saw two eunuchs fighting each other. The performance was exactly the same scene as pedestrians and merchants on the street fighting because they could not agree on the price.
He laughed out loud, threw the jade pendant on his waist towards one of the stalls, and took the wine jug from the stall.
Let’s talk about these locust plague matters after he gets drunk!
At this time, Qiao Yan had no way of knowing Liu Hong's many actions.
But the unknown doesn't mean there's any need to act rashly.
Now that she had sent the report on the locust plague in Bingzhou and the letter of apology, she had done everything she was supposed to do and there was really nothing to worry about.
The previous event of being conferred the title of nobility, coupled with the head-on confrontation with Liu Hong over his theory of feudalism as a provincial governor, was enough for her to confirm what kind of person Liu Hong really was.
The words "balance" and "power" that he always adhered to in his actions were not a good thing for those who had established their own power or were in the position of a leader among scholars. However, for someone like Qiao Yan who was outside the circle -
But it is precisely the most useful bargaining chip.
After the sudden rain in Bingzhou, she stayed in Jinyang City for another seven or eight days. Then, while still restricting the freedom of Zhang Yi and the prefect of Taiyuan County, she led Dian Wei back to Leping.
After all, mid-August is the autumn harvest season in the north.
After crossing the border from Beishan, she saw Leping County, which she had not seen for more than a month, appear in front of her. Even though Qiao Yan had seen the golden wheat fields around Jinyang, the place she saw now was called Leping, so she couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
This is her territory.
Compared with last year, the first year she arrived in Leping, this year's farmland in the suburbs is even more fruitful.
Although the locust plague inevitably left traces on some leaves, the rapid eradication of the plague prevented the adverse consequences of the disaster from extending to the harvest.
Qiao Yan was walking slowly along the ridges of the fields, leading his horse, and saw the county residents busy working in the fields.
The wheat yield per mu at this time of year is just over 100 jin, and it is hard to see the full grains that bend the stalks like in later generations. But when an average of 50 mu of farmland per household is connected together, and the colors of the autumn harvest are spread out like long scrolls, it does not affect the visual shock at all.
The only special thing is probably the thatched cottage that appears at a distance.
Previously, in order to prevent the fire from spreading to the farmland, the area around the thatched cottage was still empty. It was just because of the rain, and perhaps some birds flew over with grass seeds, causing some stubborn weeds to grow in those places.
Qiao Yan looked towards those places and found them quite interesting.
After no longer having to light fires to attract locusts, the grateful citizens of Leping County pieced together their extra coarse cloth from their homes to make decorations and hung them outside the huts.
So much so that from a distance it looks a bit gaudy.
It seems that to some extent, this can also be regarded as wearing a patchwork of cloth.
Qiao Yan couldn't help but smile when she thought of this. At this moment, a little girl who was no more than five or six years old came out from the wheat field nearby. Just as she was about to climb up the ridge, she suddenly met her sight.
The child was not afraid of strangers. After looking at Qiao Yan and the horse she was leading, as well as Dian Wei who was like an iron tower behind her, he suddenly turned around and shouted loudly, "The Lord is back!"
Before Qiao Yan could tell her to keep her voice down and stop looking like she was welcoming a victorious soldier, she heard—
Because of the child's cry, across the endless wheat fields, one voice after another seemed to be conveying the same message, "The Lord is back," and it spread towards the direction of the county town.
This is a very strange sound indeed.
It seems to follow the rules of the waves, mixed with the swaying sound of the wheat fields, forming a special and rising and falling rhythm.
Until now, Qiao Yan could only hear a few vague sounds.
It was clearly just five words, but she felt her eyes sore for no reason.
This seemed like an overly grand welcome.
Logically speaking, Qiao Yan could understand such behavior.
This is because for the common people of this era, the one who can provide them with enough food can truly be considered a wise ruler.
Unfortunately, most of the time, this extremely simple goal is difficult to achieve.
Then everything Qiao Yan did in Leping was truly a favor that saved their lives.
But as she experienced this intense and simple gratitude herself, she couldn't help but think of something else.
She had previously told Xu Fu that the prerequisite for having compassion for the weak is that one must be a strong person, which she was not at that time.
Can she be counted now?
Qiao Yan himself didn't know.
Her mind was full of thoughts, and she inevitably neglected what was in front of her. When she looked down, it seemed that the girl's courage only lasted for the first time, and now she had disappeared into the wheat field.
This made it impossible for Qiao Yan to catch the "culprit" and ask about the harvest.
But maybe she didn't have to catch anyone.
Because the news spread quickly to the direction of the county town like a wave, she walked forward a little further and saw several horses running towards her from the direction of the county government office and the distant mountain fields. When they got closer, they were clearly familiar faces.
Fortunately, there was still some difference in the quality of the horses these people rode, so they didn't collide with each other on the ridge of the field.
Those who arrive first should dismount and stand aside, and those who arrive later should brake early.
But after they dismounted one by one, Qiao Yan glanced at them and felt that this scene was much more ridiculous than the one in the thatched cottage where people were wearing patchwork clothes.
"What's going on here? Are you waiting for me to inspect you?" Qiao Yan raised his eyebrows. "Why do you have to act like you miss me so much?"
In order to prevent Leping from being involved, she did not even bring the retainers of Marquis Leping to Jinyang. Based on Xi Zhicai and Cheng Li's speculation about her thoughts, it was enough to intercept everyone else in Leping County.
Apart from the group of people who traveled directly with her, only Xi Zhicai could come without any worries because he received the salary approved by Qiao Yan but did not have a specific position, and also because he did not have a registered residence before August.
After hearing her words, even Qin Yu, who was always steady in Qiao Yan's eyes, could not help but slightly redden, "Why do you take such a risk, my lord?"
This is what other people want to ask as well.
Although she knew that Dian Wei and Chu Yan were accompanying her, and could tell from the orders issued by various counties that Qiao Yan's actions were going smoothly, she did send someone back to Leping to report safety, but it was still a little different not to see them.
I don’t know if it’s because Qiao Yan has been busy with state affairs these days, but her cheeks look a little thinner.
Even though this made her eyes seem more spirited and reveal a strong and sharp look, in the eyes of people like Leping who followed her to "start a business", it was undoubtedly a sign of overwork.
"It's risky, but if you can save a state, you can try it." Qiao Yan replied, "Don't worry too much, things are not as bad as you think."
As she continued walking towards the county town, she said, "Besides, I didn't come back to see you being used as wooden stakes here, but to see the yam harvest. If you dare to make excuses by thinking that I haven't come back yet..."
Qiao Yan glanced at them, with eyes filled with unexplainable emotions. She couldn't say anything harsh, so she changed her tone and said, "Then... let's plant again next year."
Cai Zhaoji, who was carried by Lu Yuan on horseback, laughed out loud, "Your Excellency, don't worry. Even if you didn't tell me, some of us have been sleeping in a small house next to the yam field these days, fearing that the rain would accumulate and affect the harvest."
Zhao Yun and Xu Fu, who were mentioned by her implicitly, turned their heads away in embarrassment.
Qiao Yan glanced at the two of them and decided to give them some face. "Okay, let's go and take a look."
The season for yam to mature is from August to October.
Most harvests take place in October.
It's a pity that although Qiao Yan was aware that Liu Hong would not punish her by depriving her of her title of county marquis because of her behavior of holding the state government hostage, she also felt that it would be better not to wait until the envoy from Luoyang arrived before reaping the rewards.
Fortunately, the yam is ripe in mid-August, so it won’t cause any losses. At most, there will just be a slight difference in taste.
In the past month or so, the Dioscorea vines that have been climbing along the supports have covered the entire mountain with lush greenery.
At first glance, Qiao Yan felt that the harvest would not be bad.
After she gave the order to harvest, the Black Mountain soldiers in charge of planting yam wrapped their hands in sackcloth and carefully moved between the mountain fields, digging the yam out of the fields and putting them into the backpacks beside them.
Perhaps it was because the soil in this mountain field was so fertile that no crops had been grown there before. When Qiao Yan watched the digging of the yam, she felt that it didn't look much different from the yam she knew.
Even though it is a little thin, it is still much stronger than the cultivated samples picked from the mountains last year.
Maybe it will be higher than she estimated...
She had some idea in her mind and was also paying attention to the actions of those who were about to settle in Leping.
A year's hard work is reaped at this time. Even the most clumsy guys during the fight become indescribably cautious because of the meticulous habits developed during the tillage stage and the expectation of the yam yield.
To Zhang Niujiao who looked around, these rough guys really seemed to be midwives.
But when he saw that these people were carrying out the harvesting operation cautiously but quickly, he no longer had the idea of being distracted.
Qiao Hou is back, and it is still August. Isn't this the time when the registration of the 3,000 households will be finalized?
Okay! The harvest now is the final battle!
Zhang Niujiao wished he could use all his strength and work hard to harvest all the yams.
However, there are 60,000 acres of farmland here, and they only have a few thousand people.
This excavation is a job that tests your patience...
When all the harvest for the part he was responsible for was completed, he touched his waist and felt that it was almost out of control.
But when the yam harvested from 60,000 acres of mountain fields were piled together, it was indeed an extremely spectacular picture.
Because of their curved growth shape, it is not convenient to estimate their quantity only by volume. Before being stored in warehouses, these properly dried yams are weighed in batches and then recorded.
As the number of registered yams accumulated, the county residents and the Black Mountain Army who were watching nearby couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
However, after the last batch of yam was weighed, the whole venue became quiet.
Until a voice suddenly broke the silence.
"Qiao Hou!"
Zhang Niujiao, who was running over in a hurry, had already forgotten about the household registration issue. His dark face was flushed with excitement.
"One million shi! That's a harvest of one million shi!"
