111 Agreement
Jian Qingqing understood what he was thinking and released a trump card. “Grandpa Village Chief, those crops are all high-yield grains that produce more than 500 catties per acre.”
“What?!” The village chief cried out in shock. His body lost its balance and he fell backward.
Jian Qingqing and Ming Zhiyan were able to support him in time. They hurriedly helped him breathe. “Take a deep breath! Grandpa Village Chief, Quick, inhale… Exhale…”
After doing this a few times, the village chief finally regained his strength. He shakily stretched out his withered hand and grabbed Ming Zhiyan’s clothes. He widened his eyes and asked in a trembling voice, “Sir, is what Qingqing said true?”
!!
Ming Zhiyan silently nodded, and he solemnly said, “It’s true. This matter was ordered by the Emperor. If the Jian Family Village start planting the crops, we will plant it in Shifeng County next year. When the time comes, we will expand it to the entire country. At that time, the people of Great Wei will no longer be hungry. The Jian Family Village will definitely have a share of the credit.”
Hearing this, the village chief was so excited that he almost could not breathe.
What did he hear?
Heavens!
He heard the Emperor being mentioned!
This matter was ordered by the Emperor!
Once this matter was done, their village would be known by the Emperor!
Thinking of the future, he said in a hoarse voice, “Alright! I agree!”
Hearing the village chief so excited that he almost lost his voice, Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “Grandpa Village chief is really a man of great righteousness. Don’t worry, after the matter is done, Lord Ming will definitely report it to the Emperor. When that time comes, the Emperor will also know about Grandpa Village Chief.”
She glanced at Ming Zhiyan and signaled for him to speak.
The signal was successfully received, and Ming Zhiyan also said, “I still have to report the progress of this matter to His Majesty. If you agree, Village Chief Jian, I will go back tonight and write on the report that Village Chief Jian is a person who cares about all the people in the world.”
The village chief laughed so hard that he could not close his mouth. He pretended to be humble and said, “There’s no need for that. It hasn’t been done yet. Let’s wait until it’s done. Otherwise, it will look like I’m taking credit for it.”
Ming Zhiyan smiled and said, “That’s fine. I’ll just wait for the good news from village chief.”
After leaving village chief’s house, the two of them looked at each other and then smiled.
Ming Zhiyan smiled and said, “Bring me to see the high-yield grain.”
Jian Qingqing brought him back to her warehouse and made sure that it was damp-proof. The corn and potatoes were piled up all over the house.
Jian Qingqing smiled and told him her plan. “I plan to divide these into areas. Each area will be planted with one type of crop. This will be easier to manage and I can also record their growth.”
Ming Zhiyan nodded and asked, “What are your plans for those soldiers?”
Jian Qingqing pondered for a moment, “Let them explore the land. We don’t need them to farm the land. The villagers are all good at farming. If we open up more land, we can plant more things. After all, other than yams, we can plant the other crops twice a year, especially sweet potatoes. After they grow, we can cut off their vines and plant them again. When that time comes, we will need a lot of land.”
“Alright, I’ll let them come over tomorrow. Just let them do their work. I’ll arrange everything else.”
It would be best if they didn’t have to do their own work. Jian Qingqing had no reason to disagree.
At this moment, they heard the gong in the village that only sounded when there was something important. It seemed that the village chief was ready.
Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “Let’s go and take a look.”
When they arrived, many villagers had already arrived.
Seeing them, the village chief looked at all of them, his wrinkled face was full of pride.
