In the early morning of the second day, a large number of people and refugees gathered in front of Ximen Qing's fief.

"I just heard that Viscount Simon is going to open a warehouse to release grain. Is this true?!"

"That's right, I've also heard that it's obviously true that so many people have come here."

"How can it be false what Viscount Simon said in front of us that day? Of course it is true."

"Viscount Ximen opened a warehouse to release grain. This is a great kindness, and it can save many lives!"

"Viscount Simon is a good official who really cares about our people!"

……

At this time, the people and refugees who had been waiting for a long time began to talk about it.

And after they waited for a long time, Ximen Qing brought some guards and appeared directly in front of everyone.

First of all, Ximenqing arranged for guards to maintain the surrounding order and not allow anyone to make trouble.

Then, under the astonishment of everyone, Ximen Qing ordered people to push up several cauldrons.

These large pots still have lids, but the edges of the lids are steaming.

It was obvious that something was cooked in this cauldron.

It's just that because the pot is covered, no one can see what's inside?
At the same time, Ximen Qing also asked people to pile up the sacks from generation to generation like a hill.

After preparing everything, Ximen Qing stood on the prepared platform.

"Calm down, everyone, and listen to me!"

After hearing Ximen Qing's voice, the people who were talking at the scene all fell silent and looked at Ximen Qing.

At this time, Ximen Qing said: "Everyone came here to receive rations that can fill their stomachs."

"As for what I, Ximen Qing, promised to everyone, naturally I will not break my promise in the slightest."

"So everyone has seen the pile of things that are as high as a hill behind me."

"This is the ration I prepared for everyone!"

After Ximen Qing finished speaking, the excited people at the scene burst into revelry.

"Long live Viscount Simon, long live Viscount Simon!"

"Thanks to Viscount Ximen, Viscount Ximen almost saved my family's life!"

"Viscount Ximen gave me a ration, and I will be willing to make me a cow or a horse in the future!"

"We really can't repay Viscount Ximen's kindness. Viscount Ximen is really a kind person!"

……

Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Ximen Qing also showed a faint smile.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet for a while."

"Receiving rations is a happy thing for everyone."

"So I don't want a commotion going on and somebody getting hurt."

"So I have guards on the side to control the order, and I also hope that everyone can line up to receive rations in an orderly manner."

"If someone is making trouble here, then don't blame me, Ximen Qing, and let someone teach you a lesson."

After hearing Ximen Qing's words, these refugees and common people also spoke one after another.

"That's right, we don't want to cause trouble for Viscount Ximen, and receive them in order!"

"Whoever dares to make trouble, I will be the first to disagree!"

"Yes, yes, you should be happy to be able to receive rations. Don't cause confusion and get injured."

……

At this time, Ximen Qing continued to speak: "Okay, since everyone is here to receive rations, I won't waste everyone's time."

"Come here, take off the lid of the pot and let everyone see the rations inside!"

After Ximen Qing gave an order, the lids of these huge cauldrons were under the hands of Ximen Qing's guards, and the three of them cooperated to open a cauldron lid.

After all the lids of the pot were opened, all eyes were on the contents of the pot at this moment.

For a while, many people frowned, and many people's faces were full of doubts.

Because the thing in this pot is not the rice they imagined.

But one by one yellow, like a block of stone-like things.

"This... what is this? Can this be eaten?"

"Why haven't I seen this thing before? Did Viscount Simon make a mistake?"

"Viscount Simon, stop joking with us, can this thing be eaten?"

"Could this be the ration that Viscount Simon said he would give us? What is this strange thing?"

……

At this moment, everyone has the same doubt in their hearts, that is, what is the thing in the pot?can it be eaten

As for everyone's reaction, Ximen Qing had already expected it.

So Ximen Qing spoke again and said, "Everyone listen to me."

"I'm not joking with you anymore, the thing in this pot is the ration I prepared for everyone."

"This thing is called a potato, it is very delicious, and it will give you a strong feeling of fullness after eating it."

"It's no problem to use it as a ration, and it can be cooked in a variety of ways!"

"And the yield of this thing can reach [-] shi per mu, and its vitality is very tenacious. Even in severe drought, they can still grow!"

After saying this, Ximen Qing picked up a potato from the pot in front of everyone, and ate it in front of everyone.

These potatoes were planted by Ximen Qing a long time ago, and now they are fully grown and ready to be harvested.

Ximen Qing draws a lottery every day, and often draws some weird things.

These include crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn.

After getting these things, Ximen Qing immediately spent money to buy a large piece of land, and planted these crops specially.

These crops mature very quickly, and they can be harvested in just three or four months.

The yields of crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are also very high.

This is also the reason why Ximen Qing dared to open a warehouse to release grain and provide food for so many people and refugees.

At this moment, the common people and refugees heard Ximen Qing's words, and then saw Ximen Qing eating potatoes by himself.

Everyone present was shocked for a moment!

"This thing called potatoes is really edible! Viscount Simon even ate it himself!"

"Did I hear correctly just now? Viscount Simon said that this potato can produce fifty stones per mu?!"

"Although the output can reach fifty stones, it seems incredible, but I believe Viscount Simon will not deceive us!"

"It's terrifying. Not only is the yield extremely high, but Viscount Simon said that even in a drought, the potatoes can still grow!"

"If it is true as Viscount Ximen said, this potato is really auspicious, God bless the people of Song Dynasty!"

"If the yield of these potatoes is really as terrifying as what Viscount Simon said, then my Great Song Dynasty will be full of these potatoes in the future, and no one in my Great Song Dynasty will starve to death in the future!"

"If this is the case, Viscount Ximen's potato is another shocking meritorious deed of helping the world after Viscount Ximen's vaccination!"

"What kind of potatoes are heavenly auspiciousness, and Viscount Ximen is our real heavenly auspiciousness!"
