"Magistrate Liu, how is the follow-up of the distribution of grain and porridge going?"

At this time, Gao Qiu spoke slowly.

"It has been done according to the requirements of the adults, and the remaining things have been exchanged for silver coins for the adults."

"The money will be delivered to your door tomorrow, please rest assured, my lord!"

At this moment, Liu Qida still showed a flattering smile.

Although Gao Qiu said that he brought a lot of grain, he came to this Yanggu County to distribute grain and porridge.

However, only [-]% of the food was taken out, and the porridge that could not be thinner was cooked for these refugees.

Liu Qida forcibly resold the remaining [-]% of the grain to grain merchants at a high price.

And the last resold food and silver would naturally go into Gao Lian's pocket.

As for this Liu Qida, couldn't he get a little benefit after helping so many things?

I'm sorry I can't!Because Gao Lian wanted them all.

But even so, Liu Qida did not dare to offend Gao Qiu at all.

Even doing things in vain has to greet them with a smile.

Liu Qida was just a small person, and Gao Qiu didn't take it seriously at all.

At this moment, Gao Qiu also casually said: "County Liu, recently I heard that Viscount Ximen is also opening a warehouse to release grain. Where does he have so much grain? And how is the situation of opening the warehouse?"

In fact, after Gao Qiu came to this Yanggu County, someone revealed it to Ximen Qing.

Regarding the arrival of Gao Lian, I hope Ximen Qing can take the initiative to visit him.

As a result, Ximen Qing didn't move at all, which made Gao Qiu very unhappy.

However, Gao Qiu will not choose to embarrass Ximen Qing if he is not happy.

Because Gao Qiu and the eunuch Tong Guan are in the same camp.

It is very clear that Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, valued Ximen Qing very, very much, and Ximen Qing would definitely have a great say in front of Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty in the future.

As Gao Lian, who relied on winning the Sacred Heart and sat down to such a high position step by step, nothing is more important than winning the Sacred Heart.

As long as he is appreciated by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, it will be easy for him to rise to the top.

So after Ximen Qing didn't come to visit these few days, Gao Qiu decided to take the initiative to visit Ximen Qing in a day or two.

And just yesterday, I also heard the report sent by Qi Chang to Gao Qiu about some unhappiness that had happened between Gao Yanei and Ximen Qing.

Afterwards, Gao Qiu also specially warned Gao Yanei that he would not allow any unpleasantness with Ximen Qing in the open.

Although Gao Yanei is very arrogant and domineering, he is still very obedient in front of Gao Qiu.

And during this time, Gao Lian was also collecting some information about Ximen Qing.

After all, it is easier for Gao Lian to make friends with Ximen Qing when he is in the situation he likes.

In the process of collecting information, he naturally learned about Ximen Qing's plan to open a warehouse to release food.

Therefore, Gao Lian was also very curious about Ximenqing's plan to open a warehouse to release grain.

Although Ximen Qing is very rich, Gao Lian knows this very well.

But now that it is a natural disaster, food is something that is difficult to buy even if you have money.

Even the refugees around Yanggu County need a lot of food.

If Ximen Qingru wanted to open a warehouse to release grain, he would definitely need a lot of grain, otherwise it would not be enough for these refugees.

So Gao Qiu was also very curious, where did Ximen Qing get the food.

And just when Gao Qiu asked Liu Qida, a policeman came to the door quickly.

"My lord, this subordinate has something to report!"

After Liu Qida saw this arrester, he immediately smiled and said to Gao Qiu: "As soon as your lord asks, the news will come."

This arrester was sent by Liu Qida to see Ximen Qing open a warehouse to release grain.

So Liu Qida opened his mouth and said to the fast catcher: "Tell me about it! Viscount Ximen opened a warehouse to release grain!"

Afterwards, the catcher began to tell all about what he had seen and heard today.

And after hearing the words of the policeman, everyone present was surprised at once.

Is this grain something called potatoes?

Was it conferred by the common people and refugees as an auspicious object from heaven?
The astonishing yield of fifty stones?
And in the case of drought, can it still grow and have tenacious vitality?
All this brought a huge shock to Gao Lian and the others present.

At this time, Gao Qiu calmed down from the shock first, and then said to the policeman, "Did you bring this potato back?"

The catcher also knew the identity of Gao Lian, and immediately said respectfully: "Reporting to Mr. Taiwei, I have already got two potatoes. According to Viscount Simon, they can be eaten after they are boiled in water, and they taste delicious." It’s much better than rice.”

As he said that, the policeman took out the potato from his arms.

"Bring it up and let me have a look!" Gao Qiu said again.

The catcher didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately delivered the two potatoes to Gao Lian's hands.

Everyone present at the moment set their eyes on this strange potato.

"Is it possible for this thing to produce such a huge amount of [-] shi per mu?" Gao Lian looked at the catcher and said.

"Return to Taiwei, my subordinates don't know, but what Viscount Ximen said at this time should be true!" The policeman also answered honestly.

At this time, Gao Qiu nodded, and then said: "Add water to boil these two potatoes, and bring them to me. I want to taste how they taste!"

Soon someone, holding this potato, came to the kitchen to cook it with all his heart.

Soon the cooked potatoes were presented.

"Lord Gao Qiu, be careful of burning your mouth." At this moment, Liu Qida reminded him.

Although at the moment Liu Qida is also very curious about the taste of this potato.

But now that Gao Qiu is here, Liu Qida is not qualified to try it first.

Then Gao Lian tried a mouthful of this potato with a blank face.

After taking a bite, Gao Qi, who had no expression on his face, immediately widened his eyes, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"The taste of this potato is really unique, and it does have a slight sweetness."

"If it's true, as Viscount Simon said, the yield of this potato is amazing, and it is drought-resistant and easy to live. This is a major event related to the people's livelihood in the world!"

After saying this, Gao Qiu immediately laughed excitedly.

In fact, Gao Qiu laughed excitedly, not because he really cared about the people's livelihood in the world.

But Gao Qiu knew very well that Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was devastated by the severe drought and lack of food everywhere.

If at this time, who can help Song Huizong Zhao Ji solve the problem of food shortage.

It will definitely make Song Huizong Zhao Ji Longyan happy!

If he, Gao Qiu, can present this potato to Song Huizong Zhao Ji first.
