In Shuangshui Village, in the sweet potato field planted by Mei Yin, by this time, I had already harvested all the sweet potatoes.
Baskets and bags of sweet potatoes are a joy to look at in the fields.
There is strength in numbers.
Zhu Yuanzhang brought so many people here this time that he could harvest all the sweet potatoes from thirty acres of land in such a short time.
If there were fewer people, it would still take ten days and a half.
However, many people are also very tired.
Especially those civil servants who were older than him.
Many people are so tired that they just want to sit on the ground.
He kept scolding Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart for not being a human being.
These people are obviously high-ranking officials in the imperial court.
Not to mention being pampered, at least he has a distinguished status and rarely does such physical heavy work.
Especially those of them who are older.
This time I was really exhausted.
It’s not that there weren’t emperors who offered sacrifices to the country and worked in the fields to show their importance to farming and mulberry farming.
During this time, ministers usually follow them into the fields to do some work.
But how to say...
Most of them are just going through the motions.
It won't last long.
Not much to really do.
But this time it was different. This time it was the emperor who took them directly to Shuangshui Village to harvest sweet potatoes.
Although some groups of eight or nine people came to harvest one acre of land.
However, it is too tiring to peel sweet potatoes.
Moreover, the emperor also made clear regulations, which must be done carefully.
Special personnel were also assigned to watch over it.
They really don't dare to be careless.
Especially after meeting the emperor and kicking Lao Qi, who did not work well and spoiled the sweet potatoes, to death.
Not to mention the feelings in my heart.
Where do you dare to slack off?
Because of this, the emperor even killed his own son.
And even if the emperor before this, it doesn't matter if he speaks slowly, as long as he can do the job well.
But now, this is a very important occasion.
There are still so many people here.
Others are working hard, but you come in last place, and you have put so much distance between you and others.
Why is that so embarrassing?
Who knows whether the petty emperor will remember himself and others because of this, and quietly do other things to retaliate against them in the future?
So every one of them, even if their backs ached and they were so tired that they couldn't breathe, they still worked hard.
Zhu Yuanzhang is probably the only one who can treat all the civil and military officials in the court as donkeys and prevent them from fishing.
It was tiring, but seeing the many sweet potatoes harvested by their own hands, many people felt a sense of accomplishment.
Moreover, there are also many people who feel full of joy and excitement when they are here.
I just feel that the Ming Dynasty is blessed, and all the people in the world are blessed!
Although up to now, it has not been completely weighed yet
I don’t know what the yield per acre is.
However, just look at the many sweet potatoes dug out, and then take a look at the weight of each basket.
But you can also get a rough estimate.
It’s never too little to know.
There is a great possibility that it will exceed two thousand kilograms!
Having such a high yield of grain is really a blessing for the country and the country!
Not everyone in the court is a moth.
Moreover, even some people who usually do not do very well will feel happy from the bottom of their hearts when they see such a high yield of food.
At the same time, there are also many people who are particularly interested in the next weigh-in.
Because they saw the birth of a miracle!
It's an exciting time.
There is also a great possibility that we will see Zhu Liangzu eating cow dung in the future!
Many people are thinking about this bet!
Many civil servants were very happy to see Zhu Liangzu defeated.
On the one hand, it is because during the Hongwu period, Wu was noble and civilized.
Gentlemen, that is really a high position.
Many civil servants are nothing in front of them.
There is naturally a certain opposition between civil and military forces.
And this Yongjia Marquis Zhu Liangzu also had a domineering temperament.
Although he is a good fighter.
But he also has a bad personality and offends many people.
This is also a common problem among many distinguished generals.
This is also an important reason why Zhu Yuanzhang values and trusts Xu Da so much.
There are really too many nobles who are domineering and do not know how to advance or retreat.
Only then can Xu Da's preciousness be highlighted.
Zhu Liangzu's face looked ugly again.
It seems a little out of control.
The confidence I had before is now gone.
There is no other reason.
It was because after this harvest, he looked at the slope from a distance.
I looked at the receipt over there.
Then, I became somewhat unbearable.
In fact, the harvest on that slope far exceeded his imagination.
There’s just as much to be gained there.
Although it is not as good as theirs, there are many sweet potatoes in the good land.
But it's not particularly rare.
This result was somewhat unacceptable to him.
At the same time, I also feel that it is somewhat too difficult to understand.
He lowered his head and looked at the sweet potatoes in the basket, not to mention how uncomfortable he felt.
It's actually real?
Is there such a crop? !
The yield is amazing!
The key is not just to produce big crops on good land.
The yield on the slopes is also extremely amazing.
Originally, he thought he was cheating and only calculated based on the output on the slopes, so he was fully confident.
Basically a sure win.
But now, this idea has gradually changed.
I feel somewhat less confident.
I'm afraid... if I don't do it right, the car will really overturn.
"Dad... how about we go talk to His Majesty?"
His son Zhu Xian once again couldn't help but look at Zhu Liangzu and spoke out.
Zhu Liangzu shook his head and said: "I won't look for it.
When I got out of the water, I saw mud on my legs.
The final result hasn't appeared yet, so why worry?
That guy Mei Yin may not really be able to win me
Until the end, there’s no telling who will win or lose! ”
At this time, he was actually holding on for dear life.
But things have reached this point, even if you have to hold on to death, you have to hold on!
Zhu Liangzu also wants to save face.
At this time, if you go to the superiors and talk about this matter, it will also turn into a complete joke.
There are hundreds of officials here.
Things have come to a standstill.
If he does this kind of thing at this time, he will not be able to stand up and be a good person in the future.
Therefore, we must hold on to the end!
After hearing what his father said, Zhu Xian didn't try to persuade his father.
Because he also knew that at this time, his father was really in trouble.
People like Liu Bowen, Mei Yin and others put them on fire.
Now, he only hopes that the sweet potatoes on the slopes will produce less.
Otherwise, this matter will really be difficult to end...
While they were thinking this, Zhu Yuanzhang had already begun to organize people to weigh the harvested sweet potatoes.
Those weighing were divided into five groups.
Recorded by a dedicated person,
The emperor, the prince, the second, third, fourth, and three princes.
These five people supervise one group each.
Things were done very carefully and carefully.
After weighing the sweet potatoes in an acre of land, record them...
This does not mean that each acre of sweet potatoes is weighed only once.
Instead, after weighing, a second weighing will be performed.
And during the second weighing, there was another exchange of weighing personnel.
The people in the first group went to call those in the second group, and the people in the second group went to call those in the other groups...
Then compare the data reported by these two different groups of people.
If the error does not exceed five kilograms, it is considered qualified.
If the error is too large, it will be rescaled.
If it is ridiculously big, just look at the solemnity shown by Zhu Yuanzhang on the sweet potatoes.
It is not impossible that some people will suffer from this.
In doing so, on the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to obtain particularly accurate data.
On the other hand, it was also because this incident involved the bet between Mei Yin and Zhu Liangzu.
It is necessary for him to do things seriously and carefully.
Prevent some people from secretly bribed the weighing people to do some tricks.
Deliberately weighed down.
That would be bad.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was not targeting anyone, he just wanted to see them decide the outcome.
He, Zhu Yuanzhang, is not such a boring and naive person.
He just wants to make things fair and just, that's all...
After some intense and exciting measurement and weighing, Zhu Yuanzhang compared the two sets of data and found that the weighing was okay this time.
Although there are some errors, the error in weighing the sweet potato yield of the same mu of land twice did not exceed five kilograms.
This shows that the sweet potato weighing this time is quite acceptable.
No one did anything.
All the data from the first weighing were not released to the public and only a few people knew about it.
After all the weighings were completed, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned all the civil and military officials.
Everyone watched with keen eyes, waiting to hear this exciting result.
They all know that they are very likely to witness history next!
Zhu Yuanzhang took the result and stood on the field ridge.
Looking at everyone, he looked excited and said: "Field No. 1, four thousand three hundred and twenty-one pounds and three taels!"
After reading this number, the surroundings suddenly became quiet!
Many people were shocked by the number Zhu Yuanzhang read out!
Many people's hearts seemed to skip a beat.
This feeling is simply unmentionable!
More than 4,300 kilograms?
More than 4,300 kilograms? !
This number is really amazing!
By the way, even before the figures were announced, many people already knew that the yield of sweet potatoes this time would definitely not be low, which was astonishing.
However, even many people made a big estimate before this.
No one dares to think that the yield of this sweet potato is as high as four thousand kilograms!
As a result, the sweet potato yield from the first acre of land now exceeds four thousand kilograms! ! !
The yield of this food is so amazing?
It’s unimaginable!
This incident has subverted many personal perceptions.
After the silence, countless excited and exclamatory voices immediately sounded, like a pot exploding.
Some people even shed tears in excitement.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who had never liked his ministers being too noisy, did not feel unhappy this time.
He stood on the ridge of the field, watching everyone's reactions and hearing how they were surprised and vibrated by the huge output
I feel very good.
The eye sockets are also slightly moist.
Sweet potatoes are really a good thing!
It’s really God bless the Ming Dynasty!
After standing here and waiting for a while, allowing everyone to express the vibrating emotions in their hearts, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
After the ministers calmed down, he spoke again: "Field No. 2, the yield per mu is 4,156 catties and 2 taels!"
Another one weighing four thousand pounds?
The yield per mu of field No. 2 is also over 4,000 kilograms? !
amazing!
It's really amazing!
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to read and reported out extremely shocking numbers
Among them, Tian No. 9 is the most shocking.
Because the yield of No. 9 field actually reached 4,793 jins, nearly 4,800 jins!
In this shocking and jubilant atmosphere, some people seemed to be out of tune with the atmosphere.
For example, Zhu Liang's ancestors, Zhu Xian and his son, could not be happy no matter what.
The feeling in my heart is beyond mention!
Zhu Liangzu's fists were clenched tightly.
The exaggerated figures reported by Zhu Yuanzhang were particularly harsh in his ears.
It felt like ruthless ridicule, but also like a slap, constantly slapped on his face.
It made him feel particularly tortured.
However, there is still hope for him.
He was waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to see the sweet potato yield on those few acres of slope land.
This has become his last hope.
While he was waiting, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about field No. 20.
"Field No. 20, two thousand eight hundred and fifty-six pounds and eight taels!"
Field No. 20, why is the yield so low?
This is the first thought that comes to people who are used to hearing about the output of more than 4,000 jins, or nearly 4,000 jins, after hearing this figure read out from Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth.
By the way, in the past, the crops in that field could produce up to 500 kilograms, and the people in that field would go crazy with joy.
They would be equally surprised.
I feel that this is a great harvest year.
Not to mention, it weighs more than 2,800 kilograms!
It’s even more exciting.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's next words cleared up their doubts.
"This is Field No. 20, a sloping land."
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, everyone immediately understood what was going on.
At the same time, he became extremely shocked.
Oh my God!
The yield on the slopes can actually reach more than 2,800 kilograms?
What kind of concept is this!
They thought it was too little for Hao Real Estate to sell more than 2,800 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
But it was on a sloping land and produced more than 2,800 kilograms. Not to mention how shocked they were!
This sweet potato is really amazing!
Not only does good land have high yields, but even sloping land also has such high yields!
It’s really unbelievable!
Zhu Yuanzhang was also excited.
When he read out this number, his voice seemed to be trembling.
Although this harvest has given him a good idea of the sweet potato yield.
This sweet potato can indeed be called a kind of auspiciousness.
But at this time, I really saw the amazing yield of sweet potatoes.
Especially on sloping land, I was surprised to see such a large output.
"The yield of field No. 21 is 3,154 kilograms!
Field No. 22, 3,578 pounds. Field No. 23, 3,466 pounds! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang read out the output of four acres of land.
“These four acres of land are all sloping.
Among them, Field No. 20 is the steepest”
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, there was a sudden shock.
Many people seemed extremely excited and shocked!
Originally, they thought that the output of more than 2,800 kilograms was the highest output in the slope land.
But who would have thought that the yield on the slope land was the worst!
It’s so amazing!
As for Zhu Liangzu, his face turned green at this time!
My heart went cold.
The body is shaking slightly.
His face is as ugly as he wants to be.
Now, his last hope was gone!
Originally, all his hopes were on this slope.
Especially that area, which seemed to have the steepest slope and seemed relatively barren.
On such a sloping land, the yield will definitely not be much higher!
But who would have thought that such a land could actually receive more than 2,800 kilograms!
What a concept!
No...what on earth is this sweet potato?
How outrageous would that be?
Why is the output so high?
Where on earth did Mei Yin get such a high yield of grain?
The more I thought about it, the more shocked I became.
Extremely restless.
He has lost this bet.
He lost so neatly and completely!
Originally, he planned to use the slope to talk about the matter.
But now, such thoughts are completely gone.
There was absolutely no hope of a comeback.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not consider Zhu Liangzu's mood.
Here he is, continuing to read the sweet potato yield per acre.
The voice was full of joy and excitement.
After I finished reading, I read out the average yield of sweet potatoes grown in good land.
Forty-three hundred and forty-six pounds and five taels!
When this number was read out, there was a sound of exclamation all around.
"Superior! This is God's will!
This is a blessing to His Majesty and a blessing to the people of our Ming Dynasty!
With such auspiciousness as sweet potatoes, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be prosperous and far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties! ”
Prime Minister Hu Weiyong immediately raised his voice and loudly delivered his words of praise.
Congratulations to Zhu Yuanzhang here with excitement on his face.
The rest of the people also followed suit and congratulated here.
The scene was extremely lively for a moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened with a smile on his face.
He liked to hear this.
The key point is that what these people say is not flattery, but facts.
Then this made him even more delighted.
"Hahaha..."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood here laughing heartily, his laughter was so loud.
The mood is unprecedentedly comfortable.
This is simply more joyful than when he won a big victory.
"Well said, sweet potatoes are indeed auspicious!
It is indeed God who bless me! ”
he shouted.
"With high-yielding crops like sweet potatoes, we will be able to support our Ming Dynasty in the future and feed many more people, so that many people will no longer die of hunger!"
After finishing speaking, he raised his voice and looked at the crowd and said:
"So, we have named Mei Yin, the consort who discovered sweet potatoes and cultivated them, as Shuangshui Bo. You all have no objections, right?"
The ministers all said that they had never had any objections.
Prime Minister Hu Weiyong immediately stood up and said: "Shuangshui Bo discovered such excellent crops and such auspiciousness, which is really a contribution to the country and the people of the world!
Not to mention just sealing a Shuang Shui Bo.
Even if he is granted the title of Shuangshui Hou, that would still be justified! ”
With Hu Weiyong's open statement and the shocking yield of sweet potatoes.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang so happy again.
The others also followed suit and started to praise him.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger, as good as he wants.
At this time, Runan Hou Mei Sizu among the crowd was in a very uncomfortable mood.
It is more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis, and more uncomfortable than eating flies.
By the way, Mei Yin is his nephew!
Before that, I had great respect for him.
He was simply treated as his biological father.
Even closer than my biological father.
Such credit should have fallen to their Mei family before.
But now, they all belong to Mei Yin alone.
No matter how much Mei Yin has achieved, it has nothing to do with their family.
Thinking about things like this made him feel particularly uncomfortable.
As for Mei Yi at this time, she also has mixed feelings
Twisted jealousy filled his chest, making him somewhat unbearable.
It just felt like it was about to explode!
Why! Why? !
Why is this bitch Mei Yin so lucky?
Why are all of these directed towards him?
How can he be so kind and virtuous? !
In other words, after Mei Yi learned about the bet between Mei Yin and Zhu Liangzu, he stretched his neck and waited to see Mei Yin eating cow dung next.
But who would have thought that after the final results came out, Mei Yin not only refused to eat cow dung, but actually became famous!
Thinking about this kind of thing makes him feel extremely uncomfortable!
Although Zhu Liangzu eats cow dung next and doesn't care about him.
But seeing Mei Yin win, for Mei Yi, this feeling was simply more uncomfortable than eating cow dung in his own mouth
Mei Yin, this bastard, why is he so lucky?
Why can all good things be related to him?
In what way is he better than me? !
After Zhu Yuanzhang announced the output, everyone was jubilant.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also in a very good mood, feeling more comfortable than ever before.
After talking for a while, they began to order people to transport the sweet potatoes to Meiyin in Shuangshui Village.
Prepare to store it next.
During this process, no one mentioned the two bets between Zhu Liangzu and Mei Yin.
After all, this matter is extremely offending.
Those who wanted to watch the excitement, even if they were in a fun mood, were already overflowing.
But absolutely no one would dare to mention this matter at this time.
Anyone who mentions this matter at this time will be hated to death by Zhu Liangzu!
Mei Yin didn't say a word, just directing people to transport sweet potatoes.
It looked like he had forgotten about it.
After waiting like this for a while, Zhu Liangzu had some ideas in his mind.
He felt that it was very possible that Mei Yin had shouted loudly before, but in fact, he was stood up by people like Li Jinglong.
In fact, I don't want to really offend myself, the Marquis of Yongjia, to death.
That's why the situation is like this now.
The more he thought about this kind of thing, the more likely it seemed to him.
That bitch, Mei Yin, knows how to look!
Otherwise, he will reap his fruit next time!
I, the Marquis of Yongjia, am not that easy to mess with!
With this thought in mind, Mei Yin quickly walked towards him.
"Marquis Yongjia, the result has come out. Does Marquis Yongjia have any objections to this result?"
Mei Yin came over and looked at Zhu Liangzu and said.
Some people either don’t offend, or since they have already offended, then offend them to death!
There is no need to think about big things and turn them into small things.
That's impossible.
If you do this, not only will the other party not be grateful to you, but they will also think you are weak and easy to bully.
The hatred facing you in my heart will not be reduced much by this.
In this case, it would be better to just get things done!
Let’s talk about the rest later!
Zhu Liangzu looked ugly.
Although I didn't want to admit it, I had to hold back the disgust in my heart and said, "I don't have any objections."
By the way, he really didn't have any objections to this matter.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang did the weighing very well from beginning to end.
Reflects fairness and justice.
And he was there to watch the whole process, and there was really nothing wrong with it.
Of course, even if he had some objections, he did not dare to speak out at this time.
After all, the emperor was very happy to announce all this. In this case, what does it mean that he has objections to this matter?
That would be a pure slap in the emperor's face.
The consequences are much more serious than eating cow dung!
"Since there is no objection, let's fulfill the bet."
Mei Yin said with a smile.
"I originally said that if I lose, I will eat two bubbles. If Yongjiahou loses, just eat one cow dung.
But Yongjiahou, you are open-minded in your work.
If you don't want to take advantage of me, I insist on saying that you will eat two pieces of cow dung if you lose.
Now, it's time for Marquis Yongjia to fulfill his bet. ”
It would have been better if Mei Yin didn't say this. When he said this, Zhu Liangzu's eyes turned red.
The feeling in my heart is beyond mention!
Mei Yin is a good piece of shit, and she behaves well even if she gets an advantage!
He is now certain that he has definitely fallen into the pit dug for himself by that bitch Mei Yin!
"Shuang Shui Bo, you can spare others and spare others.
Don't overdo things.
From now on, if you don’t look down, you will see me when you look up. ”
Zhu Xian couldn't help but look at Mei Yin and opened his mouth, looking unhappy.
It's okay if he didn't say this, but when he said this, Mei Yin's face turned ugly.
What's the meaning? Threaten yourself?
He really doesn’t want to do this!
"Why, Marquis Yongjia is planning to default on his debt in front of so many people?
That's okay too.
If you really want to default on your debt and fulfill your bet, I'll sell you Yongjiahou's face.
It's just a bit unexpected that the dignified Marquis Yongjia can't afford it.
Isn’t it just two soaks of cow dung?
As soon as he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, he ate it. What were you afraid of? ”
Mei Yin just glanced at Zhu Xian lightly and then turned her attention to Zhu Liangzu.
Didn’t say anything to Zhu Xian at all
Zhu Xian was ignored directly.
He made a bet with his father, and when he was talking to his father, why would a child like him interrupt?
Does he have the right to speak?
After Mei Yin made this move, it simply added fuel to the fire.
When Zhu Xian heard Mei Yin's words and felt his attitude, he was so angry that his body was trembling slightly.
I feel like it’s really too much!
I wanted to say something else right now.
But his father stopped him and prevented him from saying any more.
He knew that no matter how much he said at this time, it would only add to the laughter.
"You're right! I always keep my word!
Since it’s a bet, you must be willing to admit defeat!
When have I, Zhu Liangzu, ever spoken without counting? ! ”
"Okay!"
Mei Yin clapped her hands and applauded.
"As expected of Marquis Yongjia! This magnanimity cannot be matched by ordinary people!
I knew that Marquis Yongjia kept his word, was a resounding man, and would not default on his debts!
Come on, serve cow dung! ”
Mei Yin shouted.
Li Jinglong and Zhu Di immediately came over with a shovel each.
There is a pool of cow dung on each shovel.
Still steaming hot.
At this time, there are many cattle and horses, and sweet potatoes are being transported to the house, so there is naturally no shortage of cow dung.
Cows are very large, and the weight of a piece of shit is naturally not comparable to those of smaller animals.
The portion size is really enough!
Just for this, Li Jinglong and Zhu Di specially picked two more ones to come over.
This was because he was afraid that Zhu Liangzu wouldn’t have enough to eat!
"Marquis Yongjia, please?
The beef is fresh and hot.
I was afraid that it would be too dry for you to swallow, so I specially picked two more dilute ones. ”
Li Jinglong looked at Zhu Liangzu and said aloud, which was actually quite considerate.
After hearing what he said, Zhu Liangzu and Zhu Xian's father and son were so filled with hatred that they almost broke their teeth.
Everyone around looked at this scene with joy.
Okay, okay, this fun is good to watch!
Zhu Liangzu's eyes turned red when he looked at the two piles of cow dung!
“Okay, okay, it’s just a joke, there’s no need to take it seriously.
Let’s end this matter here! ”
There was a sound.
But it turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang came here and spoke.
Although Zhu Liangzu's previous attitude and words really made him deeply dissatisfied.
But how can I put it, Zhu Liangzu’s previous contributions are indeed real.
With him present, you can't really watch him eat cow dung.
It is still necessary to come out and smooth things over.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, the punishment for Zhu Liangzu at this time was enough.
Even if he didn't actually eat this cow dung, it would be in his mouth.
After what happened this time, Zhu Liangzu would definitely lose his face and his majesty.
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Liangzu looked better.
After bowing and thanking Zhu Yuanzhang, he shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to admit defeat.
Since you lost the bet, you should fulfill your bet!
I am not the kind of person who cannot afford to lose! ”
After finishing speaking, before Zhu Yuanzhang could say anything else, he squatted down, picked up the cow dung on the shovel with both hands, and stuffed it into his mouth!
Open your bow left and right and eat quickly.
Such a scene shocked everyone.
No...this Zhu Liangzu actually eats it? !
Even Mei Yin was shocked.
He had run against Zhu Liang Zugui before, just to make him look even more ugly.
I didn’t think Zhu Liangzu really knew how to eat it.
Especially after Zhu Yuanzhang appeared, he didn't think Zhu Liangzu would eat it.
Who would have thought that Zhu Liangzu would actually eat it!
And the speed of eating is so fast!
This...this Zhu Liangzu is really a ruthless person! ! (End of chapter)
