There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Seeing Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai gobbling down, Daohua silently served them a bowl of soup: "Eat slowly, don't worry."

Yan Wenkai's speed of slicing rice and vegetables continued, puffing out his cheeks and saying, "Big sister, do you know how long we haven't eaten?"

Without waiting for Daohua's response, Yan Wenkai continued with a sad face: "Since we were knocked out and thrown into the deep mountain forest that day, we haven't eaten a solid meal."

Daohua: "Then what have you been eating these days?"

Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao paused for a while, their faces were a little strange, and they bowed their heads and said nothing.

Daohua wanted to ask, but saw Xiao Yeyang tugging at his sleeve.

Daohua looked over, puzzled.

Xiao Yeyang hooked his fingers and motioned Daohua to come closer.

Daohua turned his ears and Xiao Yeyang said in a low voice, "In the deep mountains and old forests, there is no fire zhezi, what do you think you can eat?"

Daohua's eyes widened immediately, and after a while, she said angrily: "It's too bullying, how can you do this? Eating raw food will make you sick."

Before they could finish speaking, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao rushed out of the house, and after a while, the sound of vomiting was heard in the yard.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile: "They spit you out just now, and now you spit them out, it just happened."

Daohua gave Xiao Yeyang a white look, and then looked at the dishes on the table: "No wonder the third and fourth brothers didn't eat a piece of meat." After speaking, she looked worried, "You said, they will not have any shadows in their hearts in the future. right?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "As long as you don't keep in front of them, you should be fine after a while. There are quite a few soldiers in the barracks who have eaten raw food."

Daohua was silent for a while, and then summoned Wang Man'er: "Go to the conservatory to pick some tomatoes."

Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao came back after vomiting, their appetites dropped significantly, and they stopped eating after two bites.

At this time, Wang Man'er brought the washed tomatoes.

Daohua smiled and pushed the tomatoes in front of the two brothers: "Third brother, fourth brother, try it."

Yan Wenkai picked up a tomato: "Eat it directly?"

Daohua nodded: "Yes." After speaking, she also took one and took a bite.

Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao only started eating when they saw Daohua.

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang was sitting still, Daohua handed him one.

Xiao Yeyang took it with a smile, took a sip, and nodded: "I didn't expect this red fruit to be edible. It was a waste to just use it for viewing. By the way, is this a kind of fruit?"

Daohua: "It's both a fruit and a vegetable. I'll make scrambled eggs with tomatoes for you tonight."

Xiao Yeyang: "Okay, if it's delicious, I'll send some back to the royal uncle."

Daohua was silent for a moment: "I'm going to use the tomatoes that I picked in the greenhouse this year to save. If you want to send them, I'll give you two baskets at most."

Xiao Yeyang thought for a while: "Give me a cart. The tomatoes you pick next year will definitely be sold. If the royal uncle likes it, I'm sure your tomatoes will sell well."

Daohua's eyes lit up: "Yes, what kind of publicity is better than the emperor's liking. Okay, I'll give you a car, I still have a lot of ways to do tomatoes here, I'll write to you later, I'm sure the emperor likes it. ."

"What the emperor likes to eat must be well promoted."

Looking at Daohua's bright eyes, Xiao Yeyang smiled silently.

After a while, a few tomatoes that Wang Man'er picked were eaten up.

Yan Wenkai looked at Daohua eagerly: "Big sister, I still want to eat."

Daohua directly refused: "I will eat it tomorrow. It is not good to eat too much of everything at one time."

Yan Wenkai did not continue to entangle, but asked: "Where are those gold thieves? Are you gone?"

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Yan Wenkai: "It seems that you haven't learned enough of this lesson."

Yan Wenkai's face stiffened.

Yan Wentao asked, "Are they court officials?"

Daohua nodded: "Yes."

Yan Wenkai immediately looked over with a mournful look: "Then why did you say they are bad people, eldest sister?" They were so miserably cleaned up.

Daohua smiled shyly, pointed at Xiao Yeyang and said, "He was misled."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua and said nothing.

Yan Wentao looked at Xiao Yeyang solemnly: "Those people are looking for gold, are you alright?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head and said, "It's okay, they are doing what they were ordered to do."

Daohua took over the words: "Now they seem to be recruited back again. The gold mine has not been found yet. Xiao Yeyang said that finding the gold mine is a great achievement. The third and fourth brothers, we have to find a way to find the gold mine."

Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "The gold mine is definitely looking for it, but I have to wait for the reply from the royal uncle, and then see what to do next."

He knows too little about the gold mine, and the Jiang family is also looking for it. If he really sends a large number of people out to look for it, it is very likely that he will meet the Jiang family. Order down.

Daohua: "Okay, let me know if you have a letter. It's been a few days since I came out. It's time to go back."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and felt a little regretful. He was leaving after just two days.

Originally, Daohua planned to return to Yan's house the next day, but who knew that that afternoon, Yan Zhiqiang brought Mrs. Yan over, followed by Master Xiao.

Xiao Yeyang didn't want the Yan family to know that he had an affair with Daohua in private, and Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao didn't want their family to know that they had not been to the military camp during this time.

"Grandmother, Uncle Third, Master Xiao, why are you here?"

The old lady Daohua Fuyan sat down and quickly poured a cup of tea for each of the three.

Yan Zhiqiang said a little excitedly: "Isn't it possible to harvest the yam in the field during this period of time? A few days ago, I asked the tenant to collect a few mu, and found that the yield per mu is as high as more than ten stones, and the yield is very considerable."

"I immediately told the eldest brother the news. The eldest brother was very excited after hearing it. After discussing it with Master Xiao for a while, he decided to let the officials of the Ningmen Mansion come and see for himself."

Master Xiao took over with a smile: "There is a lot of sandy soil in the Ningmen Mansion, most of which are unused. It would be a waste to not plant them. Your intention is to promote yam."

Saying that, he glanced at Yan Zhiqiang.

"The third master said that the yam in the eldest girl's village is growing better, so I suggested that the adults come here. I came here to check it first today."

Daohua nodded and said in silence for a while, "Master Xiao, the yield of yam is high, but it is not as easy to preserve as rice and wheat, so after harvesting, in addition to eating at home, it must be sold as soon as possible. "

"If my father wants to promote yam, he has to solve this problem. Otherwise, if the things that the common people have worked so hard to grow fall into their hands, there will be accidents."

Master Xiao's expression turned serious, he kept this question in his mind, and prepared to go back and tell Yan Zhigao, then smiled: "When I was in Xingzhou, because of the sales of watermelons and grapes, the yamen had contact with merchants from all over the world. As long as the quality of the yam we grow is good enough, I think this problem should not be difficult to solve."

Daohua nodded and said: "Also, the fertility of the sandy soil is not high, and yam cannot be planted one after another. This point must be made clear in advance."

Master Xiao nodded again: "Miss, what else needs to be paid attention to?"

Daohua pondered for a while: "It's the first time I've planted it, so I just thought of these things. I'm afraid that other problems will only be known after planting."

Master Xiao smiled and said, "At the beginning of the promotion of the planting of watermelons and grapes, my lord also slowly planned it. This time, I called the officials of the Ningmen House over to watch it. Only Shaxian should encourage planting."

Daohua smiled and said: "Even if other counties want to plant, it depends on whether the soil is suitable or not, and there are not many yam species."

Master Xiao smiled and nodded: "It's true, I have been to some places when I was young, and I have seen other people grow yam, but the yield is not very high."

Daohua lowered her eyes. The reason why Yan's yam has high yield is because the yam tubers planted are all from space.

Immediately, Daohua pretended to sigh and said, "It seems that I can't make any money this year. In order to support my father's work, I have to donate all the thousands of acres of yam I planted to him to use as seeds."

Master Xiao hurriedly smiled and said, "That's not possible. Although the government office is not rich, it can't take things for nothing, but the eldest girl may indeed earn less."

Daohua smiled heartily: "If you make less money, you will make less money, as long as you don't make me lose money."

Master Xiao smiled as he lifted the teacup and took a deep look at Daohua.

The grown-up has really given birth to a good daughter. Whose girl can relieve her parents' worries and contribute to the prosperity of the family at such a young age?

Seeing that the two of them had finished talking, Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "Girl, if your father wants to bring people over to visit, I'm afraid you will use it to receive people here."

Daohua nodded: "No problem, but there are a few things here, so people have to buy some cups and utensils."

Mrs. Yan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it. Your mother is ready. I'll send someone to the boat to move it later."

Master Xiao stood up and said, "I'll go into the field and take a look."

Mrs. Yan looked at Yan Zhiqiang, and Yan Zhiqiang immediately took Master Xiao out.

"Go, go to the mountain to see old sister and your master."

The second day after Mrs. Yan came, Taohua Village became lively. People came one after another, wandering around the fields where rice flowers were planted with yam, so that the tenants thought they were going to make trouble and patrolled them every day.

On the fifth day, Yan Zhigao came to Taohua Village with a group of people.

There are officials, senior people with high morals and respect from all over the jurisdiction, and many old-fashioned farm workers, as well as some ordinary people are also watching.

In addition, a lot of well-informed businessmen from various provinces in Zhongzhou also came.

Merchants are chasing profits, and the sales of watermelons and grapes in Xingzhou have made many people earn money. Now, when they hear that Yan Zhifu is going to promote new things, why do they have to come and take a look.

Yan Zhigao knew that if he did not let people see the yield per mu of yam with his own eyes, others would not believe what he said: "Third brother, lead someone to dig it, and Fan Tongzhi and I will come to weigh the yield per mu in person. how many."

Yan Zhiqiang nodded and found a dozen or so tenants with outstanding farm work to start digging yam.

"Everyone should be careful to dig, don't dig it, it's not easy to save it."

Seeing that the yams dug out were three or four fingers wide, long and thick, everyone's heart was hot.

After a while, one acre of yam was dug up.

Yan Zhigao greeted the officials around him to weigh in.

"Can you figure it out? How high is the yield per mu?"

An excited voice sounded: "Master Hui, there are fifteen stones!"

Hearing this number, everyone boiled.

Yan Zhigao saw that everyone was in high spirits, and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "My family's yam is because it is well served, and others may not have the same yield."

Fan Tongzhi smiled and said, "Even if it's a little less, if you only charge ten stones, that's a high yield."

You know, the value of yam is much more expensive than ordinary food.

Yan Zhigao smiled: "Everyone has seen the yield of this yam, but I don't know how it tastes. So, I will invite everyone to eat yam soup at noon today and try it."

Fan Tongzhi immediately smiled and said, "Then we can take it orally."

After eating yam soup, some businessmen expressed their willingness to buy yam in the coming year, and at the same time, many officials also expressed their desire to pick yam in their jurisdiction.

Yan Zhigao listened with a smile on his face, but did not respond immediately.

After everyone had tasted the yam soup, Yan Zhigao led everyone around the ground for a few laps, and then returned to Fucheng.

The next day, the government office issued an announcement that only people with Shaxian household registration could go to the government office to collect yam seeds.

For a time, those people who moved out of Shaxian began to move back, and at the same time, some refugees without household registration also rushed to settle in Shaxian.

Looking at Yan Zhigao who never stopped smiling, Master Xiao smiled and said, "This time, the problem of refugees should be completely resolved."

Yan Zhigao smiled and shook his head: "It's not that easy to solve it completely, but it's possible to solve most of it. Master Xiao, you will go to Shaxian County tomorrow to supervise the Shaxian magistrate's implementation of the settlement of refugees."

"Everyone can see the profit of yam. Even if it is one type in two or three years, the income is considerable. Those wealthy families may be pouring over there. We have to take good care of it."

"Providing yam seeds to Shaxian is to help the common people and refugees, but don't end up cheapening those wealthy families."

Master Xiao nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, the humble position will definitely live up to the mission."

Yan Zhigao pondered for a while, and then said: "This time I brought Wen Xiu with me. How can I say that it's a move now, and it's time to let him know more about the sufferings of people's livelihood." As he spoke, he looked at Master Xiao with a smile.

"At that time, please ask the master to give more pointers to the dog."

Master Xiao said immediately, "Your Excellency is serious. The eldest son and the eldest girl are both dragons and phoenixes. Even without the guidance of outsiders, they can see through the essence of various common affairs."

Seeing that Master Xiao mentioned his two children, Yan Zhigao showed a somewhat complacent look on his face, but he still said modestly: "Children can't help but boast, and Master has to pay more attention."

Master Xiao responded with a smile.

Taohua Temple.

"What did the emperor say?"

Seeing Xiao Yeyang holding the letter in silence, Daohua couldn't help asking.

Xiao Yeyang put away the letter and said with a smile, "Uncle Huang asked me to search for gold mines in private, and I can't make any noise. He also said that if you helped find the gold mines, I would allow you to be the county head."

"real?!"

Daohua stood up excitedly.

Seeing her so happy, Granny Gu and Gu Jian looked at each other silently, with smiles in their eyes.

Daohua became the county head, so it would not be a big problem to match Yang'er.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and looked at Daohua, but he was thinking about something else.

Uncle Huang knew that the Jiang family was looking for gold mines, but he let it go and let him ignore it. What does this mean?

As a foreign relative, the Jiang family is indeed too powerful. Uncle Huang's fear of the Jiang family was actually noticed when he was a child.

Thinking of the fate of his relatives in history, Xiao Yeyang's heart skipped a beat.

One day, will the royal uncle also attack the Jiang family?

The two chapters are together!
