"Song, Song Lizheng!"
Yu Tingzhang sensed the guilt in the words, rolled his eyes, and asked, "How is Ling Jiheng from your village doing recently?"
Wang Dahu subconsciously raised his head: "Does the lord know Master Ling?"
Meeting Yu Tingzhang's half-smiling eyes, he quickly lowered his head, with thin beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
Yu Tingzhang snorted and laughed, and asked him to leave.
Wang Dahu settled down in the city from then on and was not sent back until the harvest after the frost.
Song Lizheng didn't expect that a business trip would be delayed for so long.
If it weren't for the frequent news sent back from the provincial capital, Song Lizheng would have thought that Wang Dahu had met with some accident.
In addition to Wang Dahu, there were several other farmers in the village who were sent to other places one after another.
Teach everyone planting techniques diligently and responsibly.
After hard work, sweet potatoes were planted in one-third of Youzhou, except Yunrou County.
Although there is still a lot of room for improvement, and except for Qingshan and Zhou Jiajun, no one knows whether the sweet potato production is really as great as rumored.
But the news still spread far and wide, and even the emperor of the Dayong Dynasty in Shangjing City knew about it.
He was so angry that he didn't eat for two days. He then issued an imperial decree, saying that sweet potatoes did not exist and were fabricated by Emperor Zhou to win the hearts of the people.
The Qin Emperor thought that if he said this, the people would not be disturbed.
But they don’t know that people’s ability to speculate is far more complicated than they imagine.
The more you say this thing doesn't exist, the more I feel it exists.
And collect as much evidence as possible to prove that the upper echelons are covering up the truth.
The people of Shangjing City and officials in some surrounding cities are now in such a situation.
I want to say something, but I don't dare. But if I don't say it, I feel itchy.
After making faces for a while, he sighed and said, "Why didn't we discover sweet potatoes first?"
The situation did not ease with the arrival of spring, although the situation in Youzhou was calm and people were working hard for spring plowing.
But in reality, several battles took place on the border.
This battle was not against the alien Northern Liao people, but was directed against former compatriots.
Swords and spears were pointed at each other, and both sides hesitated. However, due to their different positions, a life-and-death struggle was inevitable.
Internal friction is undoubtedly fatal.
The Emperor of Zhou could not bear it and used blood to celebrate the birth of the Zhou Dynasty.
So they adopted another policy, opening the city gates wide and recruiting people with aspirations.
No matter what class they are from, no matter whether they have the ability or not, as long as they are willing to join the Great Zhou, they will accept them with a smile.
You know, the population in ancient times was not large. Coupled with two consecutive years of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the population was even smaller.
Without people, what kind of emperor are you? What's the point of guarding an empty city?
As long as the enemy's population is diluted over time, victory will be achieved without fighting.
They have an absolute advantage in implementing this plan.
When other forces were in a period of transition, Youzhou still had surplus food.
While most people were starving and leaving their fate to God, the people of Youzhou were happily planting sweet potatoes, eating sweet potato vines, and thanking God for his gift.
Comparing the two, many people were moved.
I quietly arrived at the city gate, registered briefly, and was let in.
Then they were resettled in various villages and started a new life.
The Zhou Emperor announced the restoration of the imperial examination system, which also contributed to attracting talents.
After all, the only way out for ordinary people was to study. But the Great Yong Dynasty had not had an imperial examination for many years.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was newly established, the Zhou army was so powerful that even the Qin Emperor who went to the capital could not do anything to it.
Although Youzhou is located in a remote area, life here is relatively comfortable.
Except that every household was required to send a certain number of male members to join the army, everyone else lived the same life as usual.
Even because of the changes in the world, the living standards have skyrocketed.
Just like that, people from Hejian Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, and Xingzhou fled and flocked to Youzhou.
Youzhou is overcrowded, while the nearby provincial capitals are deserted.
Looking at the empty streets, the defenders wanted to rebel.
Let’s discuss and pretend to be defeated and captured in the next battle.
The Zhou army captured several cities without much effort.
When the news reached Shangjing, the Emperor of Qin was so angry that he fell into a coma for three days and three nights.
Emma, the world is now divided into five parts, and the area of each force is almost the same.
The eldest prince, the sixth prince, and the two vassal kings no longer dared to underestimate Youzhou and the Zhou army.
Emperor Zhou did not stop his attack. Since he had already rebelled, he had to be thorough.
It would be best to own the entire piece of land so that your descendants won’t have enough to share in the future.

In Qingshan Village, Chi Xingyue either raises seedlings in the space every day or comes out to play with his little cousin.
You see, this child is really different every day. He grows up with the wind.
She also brought some nourishing soup to Ge Jinglan from time to time.
Nourished by the spiritual spring water, they have fair skin, beautiful looks, and abundant milk.
My body is recovering quickly and I can get out of bed.
Of course, I still had to stay indoors for the confinement period, but because I was in good health, I could occasionally wash my hair.
My little cousin also has a name, Shu Kang.
Shu Xuhong doesn't have any expectations for his youngest son. He just wants him to grow up safely and healthily.
Time passed little by little, Chi Xingyue took off her thin jacket and put on a horse-face skirt.
The blue satin skirt sparkles in the sun, and every time she goes out, she attracts the envious glances of the little girls.
Chi Xingyue would occasionally go up the mountain with them. It didn’t matter whether they picked mountain products or not. The important thing was to kill time.
Suddenly one day, Chi Xingyue found fun.
After coming back, he was in high spirits and even ate an extra bowl of rice.
For the next period of time, she often went out.
Ling Jiheng asked her what she was going to do, and Chi Xingyue smiled and said, "Fishing!"
Well, she did catch the fish, but it didn’t bite.
But Chi Xingyue never gets tired of it and persists in it.
Finally, Ling Jiheng couldn't bear it anymore, and followed Chi Xingyue and Baozhu out in the bright noon.
I saw two people hiding in a bush by the river, pushing aside the brambles in front of them, and looking at the river with burning eyes.
A handsome man in a green robe was politely refusing the food brought by a girl.
After a long tug of war, the man finally accepted it, but then gave it to the girl who arrived half an hour later.
Chi Xingyue whispered to Baozhu: "See, he's a scumbag.
It may seem glorious and bright, but in reality, it is just greed for fame and fortune, and the desire to have everything one wants."
Baozhu nodded repeatedly: "Second Young Master's Madam, should we tell Liu Po about this?"
Chi Xingyue felt a little embarrassed and thought this matter was difficult to resolve.
If you say it, you will be annoying because you are nosy. If you don’t say it, the well-behaved girl will be deceived by a scumbag.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "How about, when they meet next time, tell Goudan to call Liu Po over.
We've been through a lot together, don't let the juicy cabbages be eaten by pigs."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a cold wind blowing from behind, which made me feel very chilly.
Chi Xingyue slowly turned around and found Ling Jiheng squatting less than a meter behind her.
Chi Xingyue smiled awkwardly: "Why are you here?"
