Magistrate Qin was suddenly startled when he heard this familiar voice.
He quickly walked over, opened the door, and invited the person in very respectfully.
Mrs. Qin was very surprised to see him like this.
I wonder who this young man with outstanding temperament is? How could Qin Changan be so attentive.
She knew very well the virtues of her man, and there were not many people who could let him down and go out to greet him in person.
It can be said that even his father does not receive such treatment.
Magistrate Qin closed the door and said to his wife: "Go back and rest first. You don't have to wait for me."
Mrs. Qin was even more surprised, but she didn't ask anything. She gave Li Yunze a blessing ceremony and then left with a smile.
Magistrate Qin waited for his wife to go out and then closed the door himself.
Then he solemnly raised his hands to Li Yunze and said, "Master Li, please sit down quickly."
"Master Qin, you don't have to be polite."
After Li Yunze sat down, he sincerely praised: "Master Qin and his wife understand the righteousness very well, and they will not hesitate to smear their own reputations for the sake of the victims outside. Such noble and upright character makes me admire them very much."
Qin Changan smiled bitterly, "Oh, I can't be as good as Mr. Li said, I just can't bear to see the people outside starving to death.
It's a pity that my ability is limited. I can only give out porridge once every three days at most, leaving those people hanging on for dear life. "
Li Yunze was silent for a long time and then said: "Master Qin has done a good job. You haven't seen how many people die outside every day.
When I came from the capital, no less than a hundred people were buried and burned along the way. They all died of thirst or starvation. There were also some who died of illness on the roadside because they could not go to the city to see a doctor.
The victims of the disaster in Dongyang County can have water to drink, a shed to live in, and they often hang on to a bowl of porridge. That is really good! "
Mentioning the current situation of Yun Chao Kingdom, both of them felt a little heavy, but they were helpless now.
Just watching the number of deaths increasing every day and being unable to do anything.
Li Yunze took out a letter from his arms and put it on the table, "This is the letter that Marquis Dingbei asked me to bring to you. He left the capital a month and a half ago and should be in Anyang County now."
Qin Changan looked at the letter and stayed there in shock.
He received a letter from his father a month ago, saying that the Beihou family had disappeared for no reason at the Hou Mansion.
He knew at that time that Dingbei Hou must have returned to Anyang County.
He thought that Marquis Dingbei wanted to rebel, but he never expected that he would submit to the prince.
The young man in front of him was really impressive. Even the Marquis of Dingbei, who never took sides, surrendered to him.
Qin Changan calmed down, picked up the letter, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, "It's easy to do. Mr. Qin, there is no need to be polite. In fact, I have something to ask of you this time."
Qin Changan was silent for a moment and said, "Master, please speak."
Li Yunze opened the baggage he brought with him. Inside was wrapped in oil paper, two sweet potatoes, two potatoes, and two corn cobs.
The sweet potatoes and potatoes are both cooked, one corn cob is dry and the other is boiled, and there are several corn cobs placed next to it.
When Li Yunze opened the greased paper, Qin Changan smelled the aroma of food. But he didn't know what it was, and he was sure he had never seen it before.
After seeing those strange things clearly, he asked: "Sir, what are these?"
Li Yunze took a sweet potato to him and said, "Try it first! I'll tell you what these things are later."
Qin Changan took it and took a bite without any hesitation during the whole process.
When he tasted it, his eyes lit up, "Master, what is this? It tastes sweet and glutinous, and it melts in your mouth."
Li Yunze smiled, pointed to boiled potatoes and boiled corn and said, "Try some of these too."
After Qin Changan tasted everything, Li Yunze asked, "What do you think of this food?"
He answered without hesitation, "It's delicious and it also resists hunger."
"The things you just ate are called sweet potatoes and potatoes, and this long cob is called corn.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes can produce three thousand kilograms per mu, and they are also drought-resistant. The yield of corn is a bit lower, but the yield per mu is about one thousand kilograms. "
Qin Changan looked at him blankly, and it took him a while to react, "Sir, you said the yield per mu is three thousand catties? Did I hear you correctly?"
Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "You heard me right, the yield per mu is three thousand kilograms. I have already tested it, and the fatter land can achieve a yield of more than four thousand kilograms per mu."
Qin Changan listened to him talking more and more, even telling him that the yield per mu was four thousand kilograms, and he suddenly felt that the prince was unreliable.
Isn’t this too much of a boast? If you say that the yield per mu is five to six hundred catties, I might believe it.
The yield per mu is 4,000 kilograms. Are you deceiving me that I have never cultivated land?
He thought so in his heart, but did not show it, and looked carefully at the boiled sweet potatoes in the bag.
Not to mention that these sweet potatoes are really delicious. Even if the yield is not that high, if it is really drought-resistant, it can satisfy the rations of many people.
Li Yunze looked at him funny.
Does Qin Changan suspect that he is bragging?
He asked directly: "Master Qin, do you not believe that the output is so high?"
Qin Changan saw that he was so direct and did not beat around the bush, "Sir, although I have never farmed the land myself, I often go to the countryside to chat with old farmers.
The yield of this crop is still very clear. When you say that the sweet potato yields several kilograms per mu, I think it is a bit mysterious. "
Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "It's normal for you to have doubts. When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it even more. But after my experiment last year, the yield per mu was indeed that high."
Qin Changan saw that he was not joking, so he became serious, "Young master, has he really tested it? How many kilograms per mu is really there?"
"Absolutely true."
Li Yunze gave him another corn steamed bun, "This steamed bun is made from corn cobs and tastes no worse than wheat flour.
And its yield is as high as thousands of catties per mu, and if taken care of well, it can be as high as fifteen hundred catties. "
Qin Changan ate the corn bun and walked around the house twice excitedly.
He wanted to ask the young master where these grains came from? But I felt this was too abrupt.
Li Yunze knew that he believed it now, so he said seriously: "Qin Changan, if I give these seeds to you, do you have the confidence that the people of Yunchao Kingdom will no longer starve?"
Qin Changan immediately bowed his hands and said, "Sir, I am confident that if these grains are really so high-yielding, the people will no longer have to go hungry, and the population will increase."
His eyes were red when he said this, and his voice was choked with sobs. In the past two years, there has been a drought, and countless people have died of hunger outside.
If there were such high-yielding food, people would never starve to death again.
Li Yunze patted him hard on the shoulder, "It's a little late to plant sweet potatoes at this time, and the yield may be affected, but it's not a big problem.
You prepare a piece of land immediately, and tomorrow I will take my wife to the field to teach you how to plant? "
When Qin Changan heard that he was taking his wife to teach them how to work, he asked in surprise: "Master, are you married?"
If he remembered correctly, His Royal Highness is two years older than his son. Is this year twelve or thirteen? Why is there a wife?
