They stopped at the entrance of the village because the road in the village was difficult to walk.

The seventh widow didn't want to work. She was going to hire villagers to help her after the others were finished. So she was still guarding her tea stall. Seeing that the county magistrate Lu and the imperial envoy Zhang Zhao came again, the seventh widow hurriedly greeted: "Imperial envoy, Have tea!"

"No, thank you." The imperial envoy Zhang Zhao was not used to using other people's cups, especially those used in public.

County Magistrate Lu directly said to the imperial envoy Zhang Zhao: "Mr. Zhang, Eunuch Li, and Mrs. Tian's house have a whole acre of sweet potatoes. I'll dig it when you come back."

Because the sweet potatoes in Chenyunxi's family grow the best and have the highest yield, County Magistrate Lu specially asked Chenyunxi to stay and wait for the adults in the capital to dig them again.

The imperial envoy Zhang Zhao nodded: "Okay, let's go to Chenyunxi's house first."

The imperial envoy Zhang Zhao knew that Chen Yunxi was good at farming and had a high yield using a new compost method. So he and County Magistrate Lu decided to dig out the sweet potatoes from Chen Yunxi's family in front of all the adults.

Lord Li, Lord An, several colleagues, and Queen Qi Fei, the younger brother of Queen Qi, were very tired all the way. At this time, when they got off the carriage, they still felt weak.

They thought that Zhang Zhao was lying to the emperor, and they would open their eyes today to find evidence from it. They might only say a few words about the emperor, but they would never be soft-hearted about Zhang Zhao.

These people looked around, but after entering the village, every household was busy drying food at the door.

Some people in the village were curious and looked here secretly. They were excited.

The imperial envoy, Lord Zhang, is here. They are going to become rich again!

Some people also wanted to find evidence to prove that Zhang Zhao was a treacherous minister and deceived the emperor, but the Grand Secretary Min was different from these people. He was born in a peasant family. After passing the imperial examination, he was not good at intrigue, but he was good at farming and worked hard to study.

He spent much less time in the court than in the fields.

During the Great Qi Dynasty, his view on agriculture was second to none.

He searched for sweet potatoes with great enthusiasm, but his eyes fell on the rice that was drying in the sun. His eyes were shocked, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed a handful of rice from the ground to observe carefully.

"If the rice is full, how many ears are there on the rice?" Dashinong whispered, his curiosity about rice even exceeded his curiosity about sweet potatoes.

Rice yields are higher than wheat, and can be grown for two seasons in the south. Therefore, rice is the most important food in Daqi, while wheat is the second most important food. Because wheat is grown for a long time and low yield, it is suitable for winter planting. , so it can be planted incorrectly with rice. However, some people in the south also grow rapeseed in winter.

At this time, County Magistrate Lu took a box from the yamen official behind him and handed it to the Grand Secretary. "Mr. Min, because the rice cannot be delayed when it is ripe, he ordered people to collect the rice from the former Lihua Village and the others. The rice in the village is compared. The rice ears in Qianlihua Village are not only full, but also have more than 160 grains per ear. Each rice plant can be divided into seven to eight ears."

The Grand Master was shocked when he heard the news. Last year, he asked to select 96 large rice ears from all over the country, and each rice ear was divided into up to 5.

The rice in the former Lihua Village is much taller than the best rice in Daqi, almost doubled.
