All the medicinal herbs in the system were destroyed, so Nanzhi could not make a fortune by drying herbs for the time being, and could only devote his energy to farming.
But when you get to the field, it's still the same bumpy, uneven place as before.
Nanzhi found the village chief, Zheng Xinghai.
Zheng Xinghai hurriedly put down his work and was about to kneel down.
Nanzhi reached out and supported his elbows. "Uncle Zheng, what are you doing!"
Zheng Xinghai pushed away Nan Zhi's hand and insisted on kneeling down, saying, "Greetings, Lord Nan."
No matter what official rank they hold, you should address them as "Sir".
Nanzhi helped the man up, saying, "Uncle Zheng, I'm just a village woman. You don't need to do that next time."
Zheng Xinghai refused, saying, "Nan girl, you are the only official in our village. You still need to have the proper demeanor of an official, otherwise anyone can bully you in the future."
Nanzhi was happy that someone had said such a thing to her for the first time.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zheng, I don't care about these things."
Zheng Xinghai laughed and said, "You silly girl."
Remembering the purpose of her visit, she hurriedly asked, "Uncle, the potatoes in our village have already been harvested, so why isn't anyone planting any more?"
Based on the maturity period, another crop can be planted, but the land in the village is empty, and there are hardly any people in the fields.
Zheng Xinghai sighed, "The people have all been invited to other villages to farm."
These days, money can buy anything. With Nanzhi's permission, these people taught potato planting techniques to people in other villages, thereby profiting from it. This has led to a situation where no one in the village has the skills to use the techniques and no one is farming the fields.
Nanzhi frowned, realizing this was not a good sign.
If everyone runs off to teach others how to grow potatoes, and the whole country ends up growing potatoes, then these people will be abandoned.
I've been so busy with the restaurant lately that I've neglected this matter.
"Uncle Zheng, quickly recall them and tell them that the imperial court will handle this matter, and do not let them interfere."
Zheng Xinghai frowned: "Is it that serious?"
Nanzhi nodded: "It's acceptable to seek profit from this, but only government officials have the right to abandon their land and make a living from it."
Spreading crop cultivation techniques without the permission of the imperial court and charging exorbitant fees privately would be no small matter.
Zheng Xinghai couldn't sit still any longer. If the imperial court found out, he would also be implicated by these people. He hurriedly asked his son to go to the villages to call the people back.
Nanzhi knew that the imperial court would definitely send people down to learn this technique and then spread the method throughout Da Yang, but these people were definitely not just weak villagers.
In just three hours, Zheng Xinghai brought back all those who had gone out.
"Village chief, why did we call you both back? We're busy right now."
"Exactly! I took their money but only taught them halfway. Isn't that cheating them?"
The men from the village have made a lot of money these days, and some women have gone with them. They were making money with great enthusiasm, and then suddenly they were interrupted. Who could be happy about that?
They haven't realized the importance of this matter yet.
“Don’t go to other villages, just focus on farming your own fields,” Zheng Xinghai said.
One of the men was displeased. "Village chief, aren't you cutting off people's livelihood?"
Churching a family in West Lake would earn them five hundred coins, or even a tael of silver. If this continued, they would earn more in a year than they would from farming. Who would still want to farm then?
"What source of wealth? Is this source of wealth yours? It belongs to Nanzhi. It's one thing for you to teach the method to others, but to profit from it is another. Are you afraid the county jail isn't empty enough and want to live there yourselves?"
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent instantly.
The man hesitated before saying, "But, village chief, hasn't Miss Nan already agreed?"
"These brains are completely rusty," Zheng Xinghai roared. "Nan girl agreed, but can she be older than that guy?"
Zheng Xinghai pointed to the sky, and the villagers understood.
"Does the emperor have to get involved in this matter too?"
"Good heavens, isn't this like competing with the emperor for work?!"
The men panicked; money was no longer important.
Life is the most important thing!
Someone immediately asked, "Village chief, what should we do?"
These people finally listened.
Zheng Xinghai coughed and continued, "If you've taken too much money, quickly return some to the person. If you haven't finished your work, stop now and come back to farming. Nan Yatou said we can still plant another crop, so this time we'll plant corn."
What is corn?
Zheng Xinghai: "The seeds that Nan Yatou has newly researched can mature in just over two months."
"Wow, that's amazing."
"I never dared to imagine that it could mature in just two months."
"Nan is truly our lucky star."
"What 'Southern girl'? She's an official now."
"That's our lucky star too."
...
After Zheng Xinghai persuaded them, they all came back. Even those who didn't want to give up the opportunity to make money also backed out.
The world is vast, but the emperor is the greatest; who dares to challenge him?
As Nam Gyi expected, a few days later the emperor sent people down to consult the villagers on potato and corn planting techniques.
The villagers breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, they listened to the village chief and stopped in time.
Upon arriving at Lin Chengyi's place, the officials led them to Nanzhi, who was in the field at the time studying how to grow watermelons.
When Zhu Xiangming and Li Gaoyi arrived, Nanzhi was planting watermelons.
The watermelon seeds, after being soaked in the spiritual spring water, have already sprouted.
"Girl, what are you doing?"
Nan Zhi replied without turning her head, "Plant watermelons."
Zhu Xiangming leaned closer and looked at the small bowl she was holding. "What is a watermelon?"
"A very delicious melon."
