Zhong Yong took 1,200 taels of silver and came to Old Man Yun, and handed him the banknote.
"Here is the account. Please take a look. The total is over 1,100 taels. I'll give you the round number."
After Old Man Yun took it, he took a careful look at it, but his heart was beating fast.
More than 1,000 taels of silver notes!
Old Lady Yun was thinking about the vegetable garden in front of her house and the melon seedlings planted behind her house. There were melons growing on them too!
I was thinking about picking the melons because my granddaughter should eat them too!
Forget it, forget it, just leave some for later use. Even though the price is sky-high, the watermelon is really delicious and the kids at home need to have some.
It’s okay to treat other people’s grandsons badly, but you can’t let your own granddaughter down.
Zhong Yong looked at the old village chief standing beside him and said, "Let's collect all the melons from other people in the village. We'll have to eat them soon."
The old village chief nodded excitedly upon hearing this, put his own melons back, and shouted to the other villagers, "Fellow villagers, quickly bring your melons here, line up one by one, don't rush."
The villagers heard the village chief's shout and looked at the leading man who was talking to Xiao Fuxing.
I guess it's time to harvest their melons, and they immediately lined up with their melons in hand.
The one standing at the first corner was Old Man Ma, and he was seen rubbing his hands.
"These are the two of us in my family."
Zhong Yong nodded, and the man behind him moved the two melons into the carriage and handed over ten taels of silver.
Old Man Ma couldn't stop trembling as he looked at the silver. With so much silver in his hand, he turned his back, took a big bite of the silver and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
He ran home immediately. He had to take the silver back home and hide it well. He had so much silver and didn't know how to spend it.
The first one was Old Lady Wu, she was holding three melons...
Zhong Yong collected all the melons from the villagers of Taoliu Village, came to Yun Nian'an and said a few words, then waved his hand and left.
The villagers saw him off from afar, and each of them couldn't stop laughing with the heavy silver ingots in their hands.
Even though the other villagers were a little jealous, they were all fellow villagers after all, and even if they themselves didn't have the seeds, they couldn't blame others for it.
They can only wait for little lucky star to come up with something new, and then they will have to ask for a few more seedlings.
It is precisely because of this that those who were unwilling to farm this time could only watch others earn money for nothing, so from now on, no matter what the Yun family wants to do, the villagers always want to get some.
Some even want to spend more money.
The old village chief saw the prospect of the village getting rich, and all of them were thanks to Xiao Fuxing, and Xiao Fuxing's weight in the village was getting more and more important.

Inside the Palace
Eunuch Fu was serving before the Emperor when a servant came to report that the young general said all the sweet potatoes could be dug.
The emperor stood up directly from the dragon throne. He had heard the young general say that before, but now that he was actually going to dig sweet potatoes, he couldn't help feeling nervous.
On the one hand, I felt that it was impossible to really produce several thousand kilograms per mu, but on the other hand, I felt that the young general would not lie.
I was also worried that there wouldn’t be much to dig out, so I wouldn’t be happy for nothing.
