Chapter 950: Scolding and High-Yield Grains [4]

"Okay, I'll trust you this time." After reassuring Gao Zhenzhi, Elder Jing asked Captain Zhong: "Please take good care of him."

take care of?

In fact, it was a signal to Captain Zhong that if Gao Zhenzhi continued to lose control, he should be tied up and taken away immediately without asking his opinion.

Elder Jing looked at Qin Xiaomi again and said, "Master Qin, where are these two high-yield grains? Please take us there... I promise that I will mobilize all the scholars in the world to protect these two high-yield grains and will never let the evildoers destroy these high-yield grains that can save the lives of countless people!"

"I will also try growing and tasting taro, sweet potato, and mountain yam to dispel people's doubts and concerns about these two high-yielding grains!"

Qin Xiaomi smiled. This was exactly what she wanted to hear from Master Jing.

After all, taro and wild potato are plants that have grown on this land for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Why are these two grains not found in the north?

Is it really because the temperature in the north is low and not suitable for their growth?

Oh, how difficult it is! I've already eaten wild grass and tree bark, so how can I not eat these two kinds of grains?

Not enough growth period?

Let me put it this way, when there is a shortage of food, even if the growing period is not long enough, the villagers will cut the taro stalks and eat them as a life-saving vegetable.

There is only one reason for this... The power of the aristocratic alliance is too great, and they have troops in almost every city. They want to transport high-yield grains from the south to the north so that the common people can have food to survive and don't have to sell their children or land?

Oh, stop dreaming.

If you are not so poor that you have to sell everything, how can the aristocratic family alliance maintain its splendor and have an endless supply of slaves?

Qin Xiaomi, who came from the modern era and had served as a queen, knew this very well, so she did not believe the records of the previous dynasty about the growth period of taro at all.

This record of the aristocratic families that controlled the world's resources could only be viewed as a list of items.

Therefore, Qin Xiaomi and Huang Yanglong had been secretly transporting taro, sweet potatoes and wild potatoes all the way from Lingnan Prefecture until Gao Zhenzhi bumped into them today. She took advantage of the failure of the Changping Warehouse to stabilize grain prices and exposed the matter of the high-yield grains!

"Thank you, Master Jing, for your generosity." Qin Xiaomi smiled and added, "Twenty carts of the two high-yield grains, taro and sweet potato, are already at the Tang Baihu camp at the outpost outside the town. However, there are another 1,200 carts of taro, sweet potato and sweet potato seeds stuck outside Taizhou Mansion, unable to move forward!"

Taizhou Prefecture is a strategic location connecting the east, west, south and north of the Wei Dynasty. Apart from Jiangnan Prefecture and the capital area, it is the place where the aristocratic alliance has the most power and is the most strictly controlled.

So many high-yield grains want to come to Northeast Province from Taizhou Prefecture, let’s just say, it’s difficult to do so without an imperial edict.

However, Emperor Wuxing had to rely on selling himself to marry four imperial concubines to stabilize his regime, and the Duke of Yan said that at this critical moment, it was not good to break off relations with the aristocratic family alliance, so they had to take a roundabout approach. After the high-yield grains shocked the world, the aristocratic family alliance would no longer dare to stop the promotion of high-yield grains or do evil things to destroy them.

Otherwise, it would be a blatant destruction of the livelihood of the people of the world.

Then the aristocratic family alliance will be attacked by people all over the world.

No matter how rich and powerful the aristocratic family alliance is, it cannot afford the consequences of being overturned and smashed by farmers all over the world.

"One thousand two hundred carts of high-yield grains and potato seeds are stuck outside Taizhou Palace?" Ying Zilin said with difficulty, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, and even misty.

The farmers' high-yield life-saving grain seeds were stuck and couldn't be delivered. With the influence of the Ying family in Taizhou Prefecture and the influence of Taizhou Academy in Taizhou Prefecture, did they really not know about it?

all know.

Who did it?

All done.

Both his Ying family and his teachers at Taizhou Academy were not clean.

"Yeah, it's surprising, isn't it? Isn't this the norm throughout history?" Qin Xiaomi laughed, her voice sarcastically sarcastically saying, "When the world is stable, when there's no more fighting and killing, when there's no more disaster, then things will revert to their old ways, clinging to each other, pulling and tugging, and then starting to negotiate, each taking a step back and returning to a state of harmony."

Emperor Wuxing was indeed a strong-willed person, but after he became emperor and took power, he had to weigh the pros and cons.

If you want to break the game by killing, then kill to the end. If you stop killing after achieving a small victory, you are really wasting your efforts!

Qin Xiaomi was chattering about Emperor Wuxing in her heart.

"Mr. Qin, what do you mean? Didn't you say high-yield grains? Why mix them with flour?" a villager asked. They had never even been to the provincial capital and really didn't understand what he was saying. They asked again, "But can two kinds of grains be mixed together to make steamed buns?!"

Qin Xiaomi: "I can't make steamed buns, but I can make taro and potato wedges, taro and potato cakes, etc. In short, they are very filling and delicious."

"As long as it tastes good, Mr. Qin, take us to see those high-yield grains. Give me a few kilograms of potato seeds and let me help you try growing these grains... It's worth it. After the harvest next year, I'll return a few kilograms of potato seeds to you!"

"Old woman Liu Jiu, you are trying to take advantage of us again. Get out of here quickly. This is a matter of life and death. You shrews and hooligans are not allowed to meddle in this!" Old Man Pan shouted while knocking on his crutch.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Captain Zhong shouted, "High-yield grain and potato seeds are of great importance. No one is allowed to take advantage of them. The potato seeds will be handled by the students led by Master Jing, the Qin family, and the Liang family army led by Captain Jiang. If anyone else dares to lay their hands on the potato seeds, the Wei army will execute them first and report later!"

The villagers didn't understand the full meaning of "behead first and report later", but they understood the word "behead" and immediately became afraid: "Don't worry, General, we won't go to check the potato seeds, we will go home now!"

Captain Zhong was satisfied, and ordered his soldiers to beat the gongs and drive the villagers back to their villages.

"Mr. Jing and fellow students, please come in." Qin Xiaomi called Mr. Jing and others to go to Captain Tang's camp together.

……

"Mr. Jing, Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, and Mr. Guan, you are finally here. If you didn't come, Captain Tang would not allow us to enter the camp to see the high-yield potato seeds!" Master Lu was well-informed. After learning about the high-yield grains, he immediately wanted to bring people from the county government into the camp to see the potato seeds.

But Captain Tang and the Imperial Guards refused to let them in.

He could only wait outside the camp. When he saw Qin Xiaomi and the others, he hurried over and said, "Hurry, hurry, let's go into the camp and see the high-yield grain and potato seeds!"

As for the folks from other towns waiting for interviews at the checkpoint outside the town?

Master Lu was too busy to care about it, so he let them continue to wait.

"Captain Wang?" Captain Tang asked Captain Wang of the Imperial Guard.

Captain Wang smiled and said, "Let him go."

The issue of high-yield grains was now a clear one, and the Qin family had even recruited the entire Shilin community to back them up. Captain Wang was extremely happy to know that the promotion of taro, sweet potato, and wild potato to the whole world was a complete success, and he even spoke with a smile.

"Hey." Captain Tang ordered his soldiers: "Let them pass!"

The soldiers hurriedly put away their weapons and moved the barricades to allow Qin Xiaomi, Jing Lao and others to enter the camp.

There were dozens of more people in the camp, all of them looked tall and fair, with northern faces, but some of them were natives of Lingnan Prefecture.

For example, Mr. Chen Shijiu.

The surname Chen sounds very northern, but it is a common surname in Lingnan Prefecture.

Because of this surname, the convoy led by Master Chen Shijiu passed countless checkpoints without much difficulty.

Why?

Because he pretended to be a descendant of the Chen family of Qingfeng in Zhongyuan Prefecture and even recited the clan genealogy, the people of the Aristocratic Family Alliance believed him and did not check every box of goods thoroughly.

"I've always heard Long Ge'er mention you, and today I finally get to see you in person." Master Chen Jiujiu performed a standard scholar's greeting: "Chen Jiujiu of the Lingnan Chen family greets Old Master Qin, Old Madam Qin, Captain Jiang, and Master Qin..."

After meeting the Qin and Jiang families, Master Chen Shijiu bowed to Old Jing and others.
