A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family

Chapter 2294: Swarming

After Chi Shiyi felt relieved, he added: "Congratulations, Lord Xu, for such a great thing happening in the guard station under your command. You have made a great contribution!"

Although he is only the grandson of a county lord, he can still speak politely when meeting important people.

After hearing this, Xu You tried his best to pretend to be happy and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for Chu to receive new food from heaven, and it is a blessing for Your Majesty. I dare not take the credit. It is all your Majesty's credit."

He looked like a loyal minister and good general, which made Chi Shiyi sigh with emotion... His father also said that Xu You was not a good person and had rebellious intentions, and asked him not to offend Xu You when he came to the northwest. But look at Mr. Xu, how much he treats His Majesty. Respectfully.

If Sheng Rui were here, he would definitely call him a fool!

"Master Xu, where is the cassava? Please take me to see it. I want to dig some back." Chi Shiyi couldn't wait and wanted to see the new food.

 Jiang Wankang frowned: "You want to dig cassava?"

Chi Shishi nodded: "Yes, I heard that cassava grows in the ground. To show my respect for the new food, I naturally have to dig a batch of cassava myself and take it away. People in Mu County are still waiting for the new food to worship. Where is heaven and earth?”

Xu You smiled. It's extremely cold now. If you dig cassava at this time, are you mentally ill?

However, Xu You wanted to rectify Chi Shiyi and did not let Jiang Wankang tell him the truth. He only said to Qin Sanlang: "Take Mr. Chi to the mountains to dig cassava."

"Yes." Qin Sanlang said, "Master Chi, please, I will take you up the mountain."

"Okay, let's go!" Chi Shiyi was very excited. He led people up the mountain with Qin Sanlang to dig cassava. But before he climbed the mountain, he was so tired that he almost turned around and left. He asked, "Qin Qianhu, how long will it take?" Just arrived?"

"Almost." Qin Sanlang continued to lead them. After wading through a muddy mountain road, they finally came to the mountain and pointed to a pitted tunnel: "The cassava is underground, and those dead tree stems above are cassava plants."

"Is this new grain?" Chi Shiyi was a little confused, panting, and after resting for a moment, he said: "Dig, dig it out quickly and see the yield per acre."

"Yes." The servants brought by Chi Shiyi, including Zhang Er and others, began to dig cassava according to Qin Sanlang's instructions.

 But it was too cold to dig out the cassava. Finally, we used a big drill to loosen the soil and then dig out the cassava.

The moment Chi Shiyi saw the cassava, he almost cried: "Anyway, it's finally dug out."

 It’s not easy.

He said in disgust: "Hey, it's so dirty. But it's very big. This one can grow so many, it's amazing."

Qin Sanlang said: "This is only half a cassava plant. It is cold and the soil cannot be dug. Many cassava are broken in the ground."

Chi Shiyi was anxious: "It's broken in the ground? How can I calculate the yield per mu? If there is no yield per mu, how can I write this good news?"

Qin Sanlang said: "Wei has dug cassava, and the yield per mu has been calculated, which is three thousand catties."

"What? Three thousand catties?!" Chi Shiyi was shocked: "You, you are not lying, are you?"

Qin Sanlang: "Deceiving Your Majesty is a serious crime against the three clans. I will not do it."

　　That’s right, life is the most important thing compared to merit.

 Zhang Er asked: "Master Chi, do you still want to dig?"

Chi Shiyi glared at him: "It's enough to dig one and go back to worship the heaven and earth. Take a walk and go back to Changliangwei to see the dug cassava."

 Hurry up and leave. I’m tired and cold. If you keep digging, you’ll have to go see your ancestors.

“No need to dig anymore, let’s go back!” Zhang Er and the others were very happy. They quickly packed up their things and went down the mountain dejectedly with their hands and feet full of mud. They followed Qin Sanlang to see the dug cassava.

After seeing tent after tent of cassava, Chi Shiyi was shocked: "How many acres of land have you planted? How come you dug so much cassava?"

Qin Sanlang said: "The guard station focuses on planting military grain. Not much cassava is planted, and only half of the wasteland and mountainous land are planted... The output of one camp is ten acres of land. Mr. Chi can just calculate the number of camps."

"The output of one tent is ten acres of land, so this tent must not have 30,000 kilograms of cassava?!" Chi Shiyi was shocked. One tent weighed 30,000 kilograms. When they came over, they saw a tent. How many kilograms of cassava must there be? Cassava? Chi Shiyi no longer knows how to forget.

"Big scales, Qin Qianhu, hurry up and get some big scales. I want to weigh the grain of a camp. Only after I am sure that it is 30,000 kilograms can I report it to Your Majesty!" Chi Shiyi said excitedly.

  Qin Sanlang didn’t know what he was excited about?

Although Xu You gave up this credit, in order to show his goodwill to Emperor Jingyuan and get other benefits, he would definitely report the new grain in person. If Chi Shiyi was so busy, he might end up as a foil.

However, he did as he was told, and asked the soldiers to bring some large scales, and accompanied Mr. Chi to weigh a camp of cassava.

 It took an hour and finally it was weighed.

"Thirty thousand and eight hundred and sixty-four pounds...God, Qin Qianhu didn't lie to us, there are really so many!" Zhang Er was so shocked that his jaw dropped, and he almost knelt down to thank God for giving them such a new baby. food.

Chi Shiyi was also shocked. He went to count the number of tents again. After counting clearly, he began to calculate the total cassava production. When he calculated it, he cried excitedly: "Dad, my son has made a great contribution! He has made a great contribution!"

After shouting, I felt bad again and quickly changed my words: "God bless Dachu!"

Zhang Er almost died laughing when he saw this, so he took the opportunity to flatter him and received a reward of ten taels of silver.

 Well, to be honest, it’s a bit less.

But Chi Shiyi was a concubine and was not favored. The family did not give him much money, so he could not be as generous as Sheng Rui. Even giving him 10 taels of silver was painful.

Chi Shiyi said again: "Qin Qianhu, hurry up and arrange for the carriage to be loaded with cassava. I want to take a batch of cassava away!"

Qin Sanlang refused: "Master Chi, the Marquis is in the guardhouse. If you want cassava, you must ask him first."

Chi Shiyi thought there was nothing wrong with this and said, "Let's go see Mr. Xu!"

Qin Sanlang took him to the male guest's house again.

After hearing what Chi Shiyi said, Xu You shook his head and said: "At most, I can only give you one cassava plant and take it back to Mu County for worship... I have already written a good news and sent it to the capital and the capital. None of these new grains can be used." We need to wait for Mr. Qi and Mr. Xin from Fucheng to come to Liangwei to weigh the cassava before handling it."

Chi Shiyi exclaimed: "What, you gave away the good news?!"

Xu You nodded: "Well, when you went up the mountain to dig cassava, I had already written a good news and sent it to the capital. Why, what's wrong?"

 Well, Chi Shiyi couldn't say anything to refute, he just wanted to cry, his credit was just gone!

Mr. Qianshan said: "There is no such thing as too much joy. Mr. Chi can also write a good news and send it to the capital."

Chi Shiyi could only hold back his tears.

He asked again: "Master Marquis, I want to stay in Changliangwei for a while and wait for the new grain matter to be settled before leaving. Is it possible?"

 Xu You agreed: "Okay."

Chi Shiyi settled in this way, but Xu You wanted to stay here tonight and did not want to give the male guest's house to Chi Shiyi, so he asked Chi Shiyi to live outside the guard house on the grounds of military regulations.

Qin Sanlang placed Chi Shiyi in a row of houses outside the gate of the guardhouse.

There was a lot to do in the guard office today, and Xu You stayed overnight. Qin Sanlang did not dare to be careless, and did not return to the main house until Xu You was busy.

Seeing that he had returned safely, Gu Jinli breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to hug him: "It's good to be back."

Qin Sanlang hugged her warm body, feeling happy in his heart, and said guiltily: "I have made Xiaoyu worry, don't be afraid, General Jiang is here, he will protect us, and Xu You will not wait It’s been too long, I guess I’ll leave tomorrow afternoon.”
