Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

In order to report the emergence of new grains to the court as quickly as possible, the prefect used the high-yield rice with a yield of four stones per mu as an excuse to arrange for trusted Chen family loyalists to send sweet potatoes and memorials to Chen in the capital as quickly as possible. The old patriarch.

The Chen family is a super aristocratic family that has served in three dynasties. It can even be said that the Chen family contributed to the establishment of the Dasheng Dynasty.

When the old patriarch of the Chen family was young, he personally escorted grain and grass to the hands of the late emperor, who was a relative of the emperor at that time. He was one of the most trusted ministers of the late emperor who had been in power for ten years.

The old patriarch of the Chen family held two family letters in his hand. He did not open County Magistrate Chen’s family letters to read them first, but read the magistrate’s family letters first, and then read County Magistrate Chen’s family letters after reading them.

He couldn't help but laugh and cry, and said to the master he relied on most: "Look, what are the words of my unworthy descendants?"

Magistrate Chen said in his family letter: "Huo Yunchao is more worthy of training than the most promising junior in the clan. I hope my grandfather will not feel bad about the three melons and two dates and invest in Huo Yunchao."

The teacher said with a smile: "The eldest young master has a pure heart and can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. This boy must be extraordinary if he can receive such high praise from the eldest young master."

The old patriarch of the Chen family laughed and scolded: "Don't worry about it. I still don't know his bad temper? There are so many children of the famous family? Have you seen anyone who has received such high praise from him? Let me see, this one is called Huo Yunchao This boy must have the same stubborn temper as your eldest young master! If you have the same temperament, you can be called your confidant!"

The teacher smiled and said: "Sir, although the young master is deviant, he actually has a gap in his chest. Ordinary people can't stand in the eyes of the young master at all."

Chen family

Chang shook his head and sighed.

He wanted to pass on the position of patriarch to his eldest grandson, but the eldest grandson was unwilling to take on this important responsibility. In order to escape from the position of patriarch, he even left his hometown. He was so angry that he wrote several letters and cursed the eldest grandson bloody.

Unexpectedly, the more he scolded him, the more his eldest grandson felt at ease and hid outside, even unwilling to write a letter home to him.

The old patriarch of the Chen family was filled with regret, but he couldn't save face, let alone admit his mistake to his eldest grandson.

He was not wrong. How could any of the children of aristocratic families only care about pleasure and not take responsibility?

No matter how much benefit you get, you have to pay the price. This is an eternal truth.

No matter how regretful and angry the old patriarch of the Chen family was, the new crop of sweet potatoes had to be reported to the Holy One through his hands. After obtaining the Holy One's approval, he personally entered the palace with the sweet potatoes and a very detailed memorial.

After a bloody struggle with many sons to seize the throne, the new emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty, known as Emperor Yong'an in history, ascended the throne last year. There was also secret help from the Chen family, so the new crop of sweet potatoes was successfully delivered to Emperor Yong'an.

When the food made from sweet potatoes, the potted sweet potatoes and the washed sweet potatoes were presented, Emperor Yong'an observed carefully and tasted the sweet potato porridge, sweet potato cakes and shredded sweet potatoes respectively, savoring the taste of the sweet potatoes.

Emperor Yong'an warmly greeted the old patriarch of the Chen family: "My dear, come and try it too."

The old patriarch of the Chen family bowed to express his gratitude, holding the three small bowls given by the eunuch, and tasted them one by one: "Sweet potato porridge is sweet and delicious, sweet potato cakes are soft, glutinous and sweet, and shredded sweet potatoes are soft and sweet, which are most suitable for children. I The old guy has bad teeth and doesn't like it very much."

In advance, he ordered the cook to eat sweet potatoes according to the instructions for eating sweet potatoes enclosed by the letter from his eldest grandson, County Magistrate Chen.

Restored them one by one, he then presented the sweet potato recipe to the imperial kitchen, and the rest of the process was out of his control.

Emperor Yong'an liked the frankness and frankness of the old patriarch of the Chen family, and laughed loudly: "Aiqing's comments are very accurate. The memorial said that these sweet potatoes are naturally raised, and three stones of sweet potatoes can be harvested from two and a half cents of wasteland! Calculating based on this number, the yield per mu exceeds ten stones!"

When the old patriarch of the Chen family read the letter, he was also very shocked: "God bless you for a great victory! Your Majesty implements benevolent government, works diligently and loves the people, and God will reward you with new grains!"

Emperor Yong'an was aroused by the flattering words of the old patriarch of the Chen family. He had gone on a killing spree and killed each other in the fight for the throne. The late emperor once pointed his nose at him and scolded him for being unkind, unfaithful and unfilial. He scolded him. Not worthy of being emperor.

Now, the appearance of sweet potatoes has undoubtedly given Emperor Yongan a shot in the arm, making him feel less guilty.

Emperor Yong'an pointed to the painting "Girl and Potato King" and asked the old patriarch of the Chen family: "Is this little girl the first to discover sweet potatoes?"

The old patriarch of the Chen family named the stakes in a few words, highlighting Huo Yunchao's role in the discovery of new grains: "Your Majesty, it is true that it was the little girl who first discovered that sweet potatoes were edible and expanded their planting. However, it was the real discovery of sweet potatoes by the world. Someone else has the value.”

"Oh?"

Emperor Yong'an immediately became interested in Huo Yunchao. While listening to the simple description of the old patriarch of the Chen family, he read the family letter written by County Magistrate Chen.

Soon, Emperor Yong'an said: "If this boy can catch Chen Zhiyuan's eyes, he must be extraordinary. As expected, this Huo Yunchao is just as deviant as Chen Zhiyuan.

He is willing to join in the evil, but he cares about the people of the world. good! The sweet potato matter will be suppressed for now. I will tell the world about this next year when the first crop of sweet potatoes is harvested. "

Plop!

The old patriarch of the Chen family knelt heavily on the ground and bowed to Emperor Yong'an. He was moved to tears and said, "Thank you Lord for your kindness. Long live your Majesty!"

Emperor Yong'an personally helped up the old patriarch of the Chen family and said a few heartfelt words: "The discovery of new grain varieties is of great importance, and the current situation is still volatile. My dear, you need to take more care of Huo Yunchao and Chen Zhiyuan. Don't worry about it." Let the villain succeed.”

If sweet potatoes can really achieve the ultra-high yield of twenty stones per mu, then his empire will be forever established and no one will be able to shake his position.

Therefore, whether it is Chen Zhiyuan who went up to Shengting or Huo Yunchao who was responsible for growing sweet potatoes, they were both very important subjects to Emperor Yong'an.

The old patriarch of the Chen family knew the unfinished meaning of Emperor Yong'an's words, and kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you Lord for your kindness!"

In order to protect Chen Zhiyuan and Huo Yunchao as much as possible, Emperor Yong'an pressed the news about the new grain species, but he failed to hide it from everyone.

There are no impervious walls in the world.

Fortunately, Pingle Village is more than a month away from the capital. Unless a specially approved message is sent quickly and clearly to the ears of the hostile forces, there will be just enough time to harvest the first crop of sweet potatoes.

The changes in the capital have not had much impact on Huo Yunchao personally. He should go underground and study, and he also has to find time to provide prenatal education for his unborn child. His daily work schedule is full, and he has no time at all. Too much free time to think wildly.

As for County Magistrate Chen, he has more information than Huo Yunchao.

But he himself was not interested in being a high official. He just went to the sweet potato fields to observe their growth every day out of concern and concern for the people of the world, and was immersed in the "game of growing new grain seeds".
