Behind me is the earth

Aunt Zhao had nothing to do and strolled to the square on Zhongjie.

By the time she arrived, hundreds of people had gathered here. People who have nothing to do in the city gather here to watch the fun.

Singing babblingly on the stage.

"Could this field in Renjiazhuang be a cornucopia?"

"Where does this cornucopia come from? It's the blue sky above Qingcheng Town, taking fairy seeds and giving them to the mortal world... Yeah, one acre of land yields eight hundred kilograms, Qingcheng's treasure land is auspicious~"

Aunt Zhao only saw a dark mass of human heads. Even the walls were full of people and people were hanging on the trees.

You can't see what is being performed on the stage at all.

But I could hear the sound quite clearly, and I didn’t know how a human voice could be so loud and travel so far.

Relying on her strength, she found a space to squeeze forward. With a pair of blank eyes, she squeezed to the front position and saw the performance on the stage.

There are also tall sorghum-like things on the stage. The actor at the front is on the high platform, holding a yellow thing high and singing.

"I heard yesterday that the fields in Renjiazhuang were harvested a few days ago, with more than 800 kilograms of grain per acre! It was sung in the play, it seems to be true!"

"How is that possible? What kind of land can grow eight hundred catties of grain? Is this land made of gold or silver?"

A man in a green shirt saw someone questioning and said, "Don't believe it, I actually went to Renjiazhuang a few days ago. It was a kind of grain called 'corn', and I spent two cents to buy it." I ordered one and it was delicious when grilled!

I heard it can also be made into tortillas and polenta.

This is a staple food that can fill your stomach!

And the maximum yield is not just 800 kilograms. In some fields, even one acre of corn weighs over a thousand kilograms. "

Someone has become a supporter of Ren Pingsheng and fully supports it: "This Renjiazhuang is the mayor's property, and the mayor also provided the grain.

What's wrong with a person like the mayor who can produce thousands of kilograms of grain per acre? "

During the break between singing and acting on the stage, there was already a discussion below.

Many people couldn't believe the content in the play.

Since ancient times, who has ever heard that an acre can produce a thousand kilograms of grain?

"After listening to the play in a while, if anyone is interested in 'corn', you can stay for a while. We boiled corn, and you can buy it for two cents each. You can buy it voluntarily.

Sweet, savory and absolutely delicious. "

While the people in the audience were still discussing, someone came up to speak and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

When Qixinshe's performance ended, a large pot was placed on the shelf, and the sweet smell of corn came out of it and penetrated people's noses.

I got two pennies for a piece of corn in my hand. I took a bite and chewed it in my mouth. It was sweet and glutinous, and I felt very full after eating it.

“It’s really a new staple food!”

"As expected of the name 'corn', it tastes better than rice."

"Auspicious!"

After eating corn, most people really believed what was in the drama.

I was suddenly very excited.

Excitement is contagious, but within a few moments, everyone in the square went crazy!

They cheered, as if they had seen the day when they would no longer have to go hungry.

A thousand kilograms of grain per mu sounds like a myth in this era when most people don't have enough to eat and starve to death.

And when such a myth became a reality, the auspicious name, with a little guidance, started from that night, like a depth charge, exploded on the calm water, and spread in a very short period of time. Got out.

Suddenly, the name of Qingtian Master in Qingcheng Town was highly praised to the extreme. Ren's lifelong prestige, at least in Qingshui County, has far exceeded that of the county magistrate Huang Youcai.

In the next few days, Ren Nuan, the chief of the propaganda section, took Qixinshe, and Hu Chun, the chief of the agricultural section, took a cart of corn to visit villages of all sizes in Qingcheng Town to build public opinion.

It paved the way for the improved variety reform plan promoted by Ren Pingsheng.

In Qingshui County, there are also sketches and scripts adapted by Qixinshe, which are performed in teahouses, brothels, tile houses, and market towns.

Countless people have focused their attention on the new crop "corn".

In early August, the sun is at its craziest, spreading its boundless heat on the earth, making it scorching hot!

The city wall of Renjiazhuang has been piled taller, and red bricks have been used to wrap the adobe inside. It really looks like a solid small town.

On this day, there were unusually many people standing at the city gate.

Several section chiefs such as Liu Shu, Liu Wen, and Liu Liu, who were in high positions in Qingcheng Town, were all standing here, as if waiting for someone.

Not long after, a carriage came to the city gate, and a lame old man got out of it.

Lao Liu quickly stepped forward and helped the old man down.

"Village chief, please be careful."

When Lao Liu saw that the old village chief's legs were a little weak, he quickly reminded him.

"I'm fine. This leg has always been a problem. As soon as I saw you, I felt happy."

The old village chief couldn't stop smiling when he looked at Liu Shu and Lao Liu, all his happiness was revealed on his face.

"I knew I was right when I saw the person. Mr. Ren is a capable person! Now that you are following him, you are also a promising person. You must listen to Mr. Ren in the future."

The old village chief was helped by Lao Liu and walked to Renjiazhuang. He asked a few people to come to his side and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ren has just started his career and is surrounded by people from our Liujia Village, but you can't do it." Pay attention to some influences, and don't do anything bad that will cause others to chew on you from behind.

If Mr. Ren is allowed to hate us, the people of Liujia Village, even if we have a sweet relationship with him, this power struggle will be vicious!

Lao Liu, you are the section chief of the Integrity Department, you shouldn't be here today. "

He has lived for most of his life and has seen through some things. The leader of the Wolf Gang is his old buddy. Every time they go to Liujiacun to find him, the two of them will talk about the relationship between Ren Pingsheng and Liujiacun.

At this time, he met Liu Qiang and the others. While he was extremely happy, he couldn't help but entrust these juniors with what he had been thinking about for a long time, so that even if they were in high positions and had power in their hands, they could Don't get carried away.

"We'll remember it."

After listening to the village chief's advice, Lao Liu suddenly felt that he really shouldn't come here.

Although now a small green town is under the boss's nose, no one dares to have any evil intentions.

But after all, I am the section chief of the Integrity Department, so I should be a solitary minister. Even the officials of the Integrity Department have been reminded by their boss that anyone who enters the Integrity Department must be prepared to be unable to be transferred within five years.

This in itself is a policy to maintain the purity and independence of the Integrity Branch.

"Um."

The old village chief nodded when he saw that they all listened.

Not long after entering Renjiazhuang, the old village chief saw that the village chiefs and elders of the villages in Qingcheng Town who had been invited, and some familiar ones, such as the village chief of Xiaowang Village, came towards him.

Soon, everyone arrived at the destination of their trip and saw those golden corns.

In the frame woven with bamboo strips, there are golden mallets and grains of grain, as tempting as gold!

"Old village chief, look at it, this is the 'corn' that the mayor is now vigorously promoting. As long as you take good care of it and keep up with the fertilization, there is no problem in harvesting eight hundred kilograms of grain from one acre of land."

Hu Chun, the chief of the agricultural department, looked at the old village chiefs who were accompanied by Liu Liu, Liu Shu and Liu Wen in person, and did not dare to neglect the introduction to the lame village chief who was walking at the front.

"Good stuff!"

The old village chief picked up a corn cob and stroked the grains on it with his rough, dark fingers.

The grains are much larger than rice.

Just touching these grains made him feel particularly cordial.

"In addition to these, the mayor also brought crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. These are also high-yielding crops, and they do not have to pick the land. Even in some fields or even mountainous fields, high yields can be achieved. However, these crops are very difficult for the soil. The consumption is high, so we have to take turns to farm, and we cannot plant every year.”

In addition to corn, Hu Chun also took out crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and high-yield rice and introduced them to the village elders present.

At noon, roasted sweet potatoes, stewed sweet potatoes, boiled corn, polenta, fried corn kernels, cornmeal pancakes, mashed potatoes, fried shredded potatoes, stewed potatoes, fried potatoes, etc. were served.

The round tables were full of meals made from these crops. The village elders and elders, including Village Chief Liu, not only tasted the sweetness, delicateness and deliciousness of these grains, but also felt full. feel!

"What auspiciousness!"

The village chiefs and elders said with emotion as if they had found a treasure.

They have been dealing with the land all their lives, and when they saw so many new food crops at one time, they really felt that these were the food that could keep them and their descendants alive!

I am convinced that these are the auspicious things sent by God.

And Mayor Ren is a messenger of good fortune from heaven!
