"Gurgle~" The growling sound of the stomach was contagious, and the whole family couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After waiting for a while, Wang, the yamen runner, opened the lid of the pot and took out three steamed sweet potatoes. Everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and when they saw that there were only three, the others looked a little disappointed.

Ren Huaimin peeled the sweet potato according to Wang Yayi's instructions, blew on the still smoking sweet potato, took a small bite, and the fragrant, sticky, sweet and delicious sweet potato melted in his mouth, and his eyes lit up.

The second time, he took a big bite. After enjoying a sweet potato, he did not feel full. He probably thought he had been hungry for too long and had too few sweet potatoes.

Looking at his family members who were staring at him and drooling, he hardened his heart and didn't share it. After all, it was his first time eating it, and he didn't know what the reaction would be.

He explained, "When there's a chance in the future, I'll let you eat as much as you want. I need to test these to see if they can achieve the effect my friend mentioned."

After that, he finished the other two sweet potatoes by himself, and when he finally felt full, he touched his stomach with satisfaction.

Just three of them are enough to fill a person up. It is said that Wang Yayi and his friends said that there are at least four or five sweet potatoes on a vine. What does this represent?

——High productivity!

The people are finally no longer hungry!

Ren Huaimin invited Wang Yayi to have dinner with him, personally saw Wang Yayi off from the door, and then returned to his study to fall into deep thought.

Neither his friend's letter nor Wang Yayi's words concealed anything from him. His friend had once submitted a memorial to his superiors, and being in the capital, he knew even better how deep the water was.

Now that I am already forty, it is very difficult to move up further, especially in the Sinong Temple, where it is even more difficult to achieve merit!

Now this letter from his friend gave him hope, but he also understood that opportunities come with crises, and he didn't know whether he should take a gamble.

He tossed and turned all night, and during the lunch break the next day, he found time to meet with Wang Yayi and seriously inquire about matters related to sweet potatoes.

Wang the yamen runner asked to resign. Ren Huaimin knew that he was just a small yamen runner who needed to go back to his post. His friend asked Wang the yamen runner to come and find him privately. His attitude was very clear. He understood his situation and dilemma, and he would not have any objection to any choice he made.

Chen Yong, ah, Chen Yong, you really gave me such a big problem!

On the third day, Ren Huaimin made up his mind. Before going on duty, he asked his wife to send a visiting card to Mrs. Yuan and took the initiative to go to the mansion to invite the couple to visit his home.

Ren Huaimin's wife, Yao, didn't understand why her husband suddenly invited people to visit, but she would do what her husband asked her to do. It happened that the day after tomorrow was her youngest son's birthday, so she used this as an excuse to invite them over.

Of course, she would tell the truth when she came to the house. The birthday of her youngest son was just an excuse. Otherwise, how could she let a distinguished couple, as well as her husband's immediate superior, come to celebrate the birthday of her youngest son who hadn't even grown all his hair yet?

Her face isn't that big yet!

Even though she saved Madam Yuan's life, she was not stupid enough to use this relationship to bring honor to her youngest son. That brat was not qualified!

It was just a child's birthday, so there was no big celebration. Usually they would just invite family members or good friends to the house for a gathering. The Yuan couple also waited until Yuan Bin got off work and changed his clothes before visiting the Ren family.

After dinner, Ren Huaimin and Yuan Bin went directly to the study. Everyone in the family knew that they had something to discuss, so they naturally would not disturb them.

"Brother Ren, why did you go to so much trouble to invite me to your home to talk?"

"Brother Yuan, please look." Ren Huaimin took out the letter and a memorial given by Chen Yong and handed them to Yuan Bin.

After Yuan Bin took it, he read it carefully. He first read the letter and was shocked by the sweet potatoes mentioned in the letter. Then, after seeing the content of the memorial, he roughly understood why he had gone to such great lengths to invite himself to his home for a detailed discussion.

Once this matter gets out, they will definitely offend half of the powerful people in the court, especially the prime minister!

While he was reading the letter, Ren Huaimin left the study and went to the kitchen to get two sweet potatoes that had been warming in the pot. When he returned to the study, he saw that he looked serious, and he realized that he had finished reading the letter and the memorial, and understood what he meant.

Closing the door, Ren Huaimin placed two sweet potatoes next to Yuan Bin: "This sweet potato will make you feel full when you are the hungriest."

This means that they had just finished a meal, and if they ate sweet potatoes, they would not experience the feeling of fullness mentioned in the letters, except for feeling bloated.

Yuan Bin looked at the sweet potato carefully and sniffed it. It was indeed fragrant and sweet. After peeling it and taking a bite, it tasted quite good.

After eating one, I felt that my stomach, which was only eight-tenths full just now, was now a little bloated.

But the point is not these, but the yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu mentioned in the letter!

Yuan Bin looked sullen, stared at Ren Huaimin seriously and asked, "Can you trust County Magistrate Chen Yong?"

Ren Huaimin nodded: "It's credible. Moreover, he also took my situation into consideration, so he had someone secretly send it to my home instead of going directly to Sinong Temple to look for me."

He glanced at the letter paper and said, “Moreover, the content of his letter is completely in the tone of showing off and sharing with friends, which is completely different from the letters in previous years.

In fact, he and I are just friends, and we occasionally exchange letters. The letters are very polite, just general greetings and small talk to maintain the friendship of our schoolmates. "

"There is still some time before the spring planting next year. I will send someone to verify it." If what happened is true, then no one in the Zhao Kingdom will go hungry in the future, and this will become their real achievement.

Yuan Bin's eyes darkened: "According to the messenger, such an important memorial should have reached the emperor's desk a few days ago.

There has been still no movement. Either the prefect over there has detained him, or someone over here has suppressed him. The prime minister cannot escape the crime of not governing strictly enough.

If the emperor investigates further, I don't know how many people's hands and feet will be broken. Have you considered how to expose the matter?"

After a pause, Yuan Bin said, "If you want this memorial to be submitted, I will ask the Lord for you."

Ren Huaimin was silent for a moment and then asked, "If it were Brother Yuan, what would you choose?"

Yuan Bin smiled bitterly: "I don't know either. If you don't mind, take the remaining sweet potatoes to see the adults tomorrow."

Ren Huaimin knew that the only benefit he could get from this was that he had caught the eye of the Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. When there was a promotion in the future, he would be the first person to think of. And with this contribution, he had a greater chance of promotion.

As a small official, he could not directly submit the memorial to the emperor to gain great credit. Moreover, Chen Yong actually wanted to help him accumulate this credit. Otherwise, Chen Yong could directly send someone to find the Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The ladder has been set, and whether to seek stability or a career in politics is just a matter of Ren Huaimin's decision.
