The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

A lot of people had gathered in the side hall of the county government. In addition to the headmen of the three townships and seven villages, there were also many villagers standing outside the door, looking at Xie Tingwen with an apologetic smile.

"Greetings, Lord Xie! Miss Xie." Everyone bowed repeatedly.

"No need to be so formal, please do as you please."

Xie Zhenghong gently stroked his hand and quickly walked into the side hall. Xie Shuting nodded slightly as a greeting.

In the side hall, just as Xie Tingwen sat down, Cao Shuang quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, sir! I wonder what kind of grain is being distributed this time? Is the yield really as high as you said before?"

"Yes! Thank you, sir. This land is the root of the people. Please don't deceive us, the lowly people?" another person echoed.

Xie Tingwen smiled and stroked his hands. After calming everyone down, he said in a clear voice, "I'm sorry, I can't be sure about this matter."

"this......"

Seeing everyone's expressions change, Xie Tingwen said calmly: "Since my daughter is confident, then this matter must be feasible. Have you forgotten the development of Laigu County in the past six months?"

Xie Tingwen's rhetorical question instantly calmed everyone's originally restless emotions. After all, they could see and touch the current development of Laigu County.

If the villagers in the three townships and seven villages had some unsold agricultural products, they could sell their stocks directly to the Hu Ya as long as they could prove that they were citizens under the jurisdiction of Gu County.

After this operation, the people more or less had some extra money. Their lives were not so good, but they were much better off than in previous years.

This is also why the county government always distributes welfare benefits. It has no choice but to do so!

The things that the people sold to the household office were all kinds of things. The county government would digest those that could be consumed internally, and find ways to digest those that could not be consumed.

Thinking of this, the head of Liujiazhuang stood up and clasped his fists and said, "We are naturally convinced by what Miss Xie said. Don't you think so?"

"Yes!" everyone echoed.

The high emotions of the people also made Xie Shuting a little dazed. Fortunately, she had experienced many storms and naturally would not be scared by the small scene in front of her.

She slowly stood up, glanced at everyone, and respectfully returned the greeting, saying, "I am not talented, thank you for your kindness."

"Miss Xie, what are you talking about? Everyone can see your ability."

"Yes!" Everyone echoed again.

At this moment, a dark and short young man was led in by a yamen runner outside the door and walked straight through the crowd to the center of the field.

"My name is Wang Lang, nice to meet Mr. Xie and Miss Xie."

"You're finally back." Xie Shuting said meaningfully.

Wang Lang stood up and looked at Xie Shuting with a silly smile. Although there was a veil between them, he was sure that the person in front of him was the one he was thinking about.

"You have fulfilled your mission and returned victoriously." Wang Lang bowed.

Wang Lang's incomprehensible words instantly confused everyone present, and even Xie Tingwen, who was sitting at the head of the seat, looked suspicious.

"Shu Ting! This is......"

Xie Shuting smiled at Wang Lang and explained, "This is the businessman my daughter met in Yizhou. The things he brought this time are exactly what my daughter needs."

"I see." Xie Tingwen nodded.

"Wang Lang! How much did you bring back this time?"

Wang Lang smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Not more, not less, a full 100,000 jins. I think it should be enough to meet Miss Xie's needs."

Xie Shuting was suddenly shocked. She estimated that it would be a big deal if Wang Lang could only bring back a thousand kilograms of goods to the Song Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, there were actually 100,000 kilograms, which really solved her urgent problem.

Sweet potatoes first appeared in Peru and other places in South America, and were later brought to the Philippines and other places by the Spaniards for cultivation.

This thing is not only high-yielding, but also easy to grow, and tastes sweet and filling.

In the Philippines and South America, it is not only a national treasure but also strictly prohibited from being passed on to others. It is quite difficult to bring out a vine.

After careful planning, Chen Zhenlong weaved the sweet potato vines into rattan baskets after several twists and turns. He cleverly avoided inspection and successfully brought the sweet potatoes back to Fujian.

After several generations of development, it was widely spread in the Central Plains. A vine brought such an achievement, and Xie Shuting could not imagine the result of 100,000 kilograms.

"Is it really 100,000 kilograms?" Xie Shuting asked hurriedly.

"Miss Xie, don't worry. The 100,000 kilograms I mentioned is no more, no less." Wang Lang responded with a bow.

Xie Tingwen, who was standing by, naturally didn't understand the content of these 100,000 jins, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Shu Ting! How much can be grown from these 100,000 jins?"

"The minimum output will double." Xie Shuting replied casually.

Unexpectedly! Her words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly causing an uproar in the side hall, and even Xie Tingwen couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

Seeing the surprised looks of the crowd, Wang Lang smiled and said, "Miss Xie is still conservative. According to my understanding, it is not impossible for this thing to become three kilograms from one kilogram."

"What? Can this new grain variety really have such a high yield?" someone questioned.

Wang Lang smiled and turned around, looking at the old farmer who asked the question, and said loudly: "The yield of grain will be affected by factors such as variety, environment, and technology, but..."

Wang Lang paused for a moment, which immediately triggered everyone's thoughts. He laughed out loud and said, "But the things I brought back were not greatly affected by these factors."

At this time, an old farmer outside the door stood up and asked in a deep voice: "If it is true as you said, the output of this thing is so high, it will be good news for the people!"

"Yes, this is a great merit." Everyone expressed their agreement.

Seeing this, Xie Tingwen was secretly delighted. If it was true as Wang Lang and Xie Shuting said, then this grain must be what Laigu County needed.

"Wang Lang! What's the name of this thing?" Xie Tingwen asked softly, no longer holding the airs of a county magistrate.

"Reporting to the Lord, the foreign language is called sweet potato. Now the Song Dynasty wants to plant it. Would the Lord like to give it a name?"

Xie Tingwen waved his hand and said, "No need, the name 'Hongshu' is catchy."

Changing the name was not what Xie Tingwen wanted. If he really changed the name, all the credit would go to him if this thing became popular in the future.

Obviously, this credit was not what he wanted.

"Wang Lang! Please teach me how to grow this thing."

"Thank you, sir, rest assured. My people are outside the door, waiting for your orders at any time. I have already ordered someone to arrange for the other 100,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes to be placed outside the city. You can also arrange for someone to collect them."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Xie Tingwen responded with joy, and then looked at the yamen runners outside the door and said, "Notify the people in the household office to distribute seeds outside the city immediately."

"Yes!" The bailiff responded and retreated.

"Sir! Then we..."

Xie Tingwen looked at the people who were impatient, smiled knowingly, waved his hand and said, "You guys go too!"

"Thank you, sir."

Everyone was just about to leave after rubbing their hands when they heard Xie Tingwen hurriedly say, "Everyone, I will only lend a little. You will return the amount you have lent to the government when the time comes."

"Don't worry, sir." Everyone responded with laughter.

If one catty becomes three catties, it is considered good, and if one catty becomes two catties, they will not lose. So they naturally responded to the government's order without hesitation.
