Chapter 252: Harvesting Corn.



Ying Zheng arranged for people to distribute masks and gloves to the ministers to wear when collecting corn.

Then he took his ministers to the cornfield and started picking corn.

Qi Pan took Eleven and Twelve and started breaking it from the other side.

The amount of corn grown here is not large.

There were quite a lot of ministers who came.

Each person broke off some, and soon all the corn was collected.

Many ministers felt that they were not satisfied yet.

I just learned how to do it, and I tried to break off two corns, and that was it.

But after I finished with this one, I went to break Li Si's side.

I heard that there are more corn grown there.

You can have a good experience in the afternoon and practice your hand speed.

All corn cobs with kernels on them, no matter how big or small, were broken off by the crowd.

Collected a lot.

Qi Pan took Ying Zheng and the ministers to peel the corn leaves.

Corn leaves and corn stalks can be dried and burned as firewood.

Some ministers saw corn for the first time.

Looking at the corn in his hand, he was amazed.

Put the peeled corn into the sack that has been prepared in advance.

Then it will be weighed by a specialist.

The ministers nearby looked at the weight with surprise.

A look of disbelief.

"This, this, this...this corn is so heavy?"

"Yeah, the output is so high?!"

“This is too scary!”

"Compared with millet and sorghum, the yield of corn is far lower!"

"As expected of a seed presented to Your Majesty by the Imperial Master, it is truly extraordinary."

"With such high-yield grains and seeds, if we carefully cultivate them for a few years and plant them widely, the people will have enough food to eat."

"Yes, by then the number of people starving to death will surely be greatly reduced!"

“.........”

The ministers gathered around the corn, their faces full of excitement.

Ying Zheng was also pleased with the weight of the corn.

Even though it was known before, the corn yield was extremely high.

But as long as he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, his heart was always hanging.

Now it can be said that it has fallen completely.

After collecting the corn and putting it into the cart.

Ying Zheng, Qi Pan and the ministers walked into the inn.

It’s rare for me to come back, and I don’t know what will happen next time. Qi Pan doesn’t want to leave so soon.

He sat down with Ying Zheng at the table where they used to sit.

Take a break.

The ministers were also very sensible and did not step forward to disturb them.

Instead, they each found a place to sit not far away and talked in low voices.

They were all discussing the harvested corn.

Although Qi Pan and Ying Zheng haven't been to the inn for a while.

But Twelve and another Black Ice Guard have been guarding the corn here and cleaning the tables, chairs and floor in the inn.

In addition, Ying Zheng also arranged for people to deliver food, meat and vegetables to the inn on a regular basis.

So there is basically nothing missing in the inn.

As soon as Qi Pan and Ying Zheng sat down, Twelve came over with a pot of tea.

Clean tea sets were set out.

Drinking tea, looking at the familiar scenery outside the inn, feeling hopeful and relaxed.

After resting for half an hour, Qi Pan, Ying Zheng and the ministers set off, got on the carriage, and began to return to the cornfield planted by Li Si.

This time when he went back, Qi Pan brought Twelve with him.

Eleven, Twelve, and several other Black Ice Guards packed up and took away everything they could from the inn.

For a long time to come, Qi Pan might not come back here.

There is no need to leave too much behind.

All the people who had stayed at the inn and the mountain entrance were also evacuated.

A large number of carriages and a large group of Black Ice Guards riding war horses came out of the mountains in a mighty procession.

When they were halfway there, Twelve and several Black Ice Guards packed the things from the inn and sent them back to the palace.

Then he took a ride over to join the convoy of Qi Pan, Ying Zheng and others.

Li Si had been waiting eagerly since early morning.

Waiting for the arrival of Qi Pan, Ying Zheng and others.

When the convoy of Qi Pan, Ying Zheng and others appeared, Li Si immediately hurried to meet them.

From a distance, someone shouted at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty! Imperial Master!"

Qi Pan, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the sound, lifted the curtain and looked outside.

When he saw Li Si running towards him, Qi Pan said to Ying Zheng.

"Brother, it's Li Si. He's running towards us."

Ying Zheng said to the Black Ice Guard who was driving the carriage, "Stop the car, let's get off here."

"promise."

The Black Ice Guard immediately stopped the carriage steadily.

Li Si took a few quick steps and stood beside the carriage.

He stretched out his arms towards Qi Pan and said, "Come, Imperial Master, let me help you down."

Qi Pan gently took Li Si's arm and jumped off the carriage.

"Thank you very much."

Li Si did not retract his arm, and looked at Ying Zheng who came out of the carriage.

"Your Majesty, I will support you."

"Um."

Ying Zheng placed his hand on Li Si's outstretched arm and got off the carriage steadily.

"Thank you, Li Qing."

Li Si: "I dare not."

"It is my honor to help Your Majesty out of the carriage."

Xia Lin, who had been robbed of his job, twitched his mouth slightly.

Lord Li, you are stealing my life!

The ministers in the carriages behind also got off and walked forward.

Led by Li Si, the group came to the cornfield planted by Li Si.

There are many more corn fields here than the one Qi Pan planted at the inn.

After all, when Qi Pan gave the corn seeds to Ying Zheng, he only grabbed a small handful.

The rest was given to Ying Zheng, who then gave it to Li Si to plant.

Except for some that did not sprout and a few that were eaten by insects, the rest all survived.

The crops are growing very well at this time, and the corn hanging on the stalks looks heavy.

The same as what I saw at Qipan Inn.

Without saying anything, after dividing the areas, everyone put on masks and gloves, carried baskets, sacks and buckets, and went to the cornfield to pick corn.

Although Qi Pan's hand injury had not healed yet, she did not act pretentiously.

If you can't use force with this hand, use the other hand to pry it open.

Put the basket on the ground. After breaking a few nearby ones, carry the basket over, put it down, and continue breaking them.

It took longer to harvest the corn this time.

It took more than an hour to harvest all the fruits.

There was a basket so full of corn that Qipan couldn't carry it anymore.

If she had two hands, she could use some strength to carry it.

One hand really can't do it.

Ying Zheng came over with a basket of corn in his hand and picked up the basket of corn in front of Qi Pan with his other hand.

Carrying a basket of corn at the same time is not difficult at all.

The steps are still steady.

Even carrying two more baskets is no problem.

Ying Zheng walked in front.

Qi Pan followed behind Ying Zheng.

Look at his tall and straight figure and his two strong arms holding corn.

The wrists are thick, the palms are broad, and the fingers are long.

The blue blood vessels on the back of the hand are faintly visible.

Walking behind Ying Zheng, Qi Pan felt particularly safe.
