Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

"Then let's start arranging this matter!"

Chen Qingzhu made the decision immediately.

Therefore, there was no rush to leave the Japanese pirates' village.

She summoned the newly appointed village head and asked him in detail about the time and method of planting the sweet potatoes.

I learned that sweet potatoes are usually planted in April and May and harvested before November.

The planting method is to first grow seedlings with rhizomes, and then cut the sweet potato vines and plant them in the ground.

Chen Qingzhu made a calculation and frowned slightly:

"So, if we want to harvest this year, we have to hurry up and plant."

"Reply to God, that's exactly it."

The head there said respectfully.

Rong Niang was a little anxious:

"Mother, we must immediately send enough sweet potato seeds back to Nandu and tell the people to plant them quickly."

When she thought about the fact that the people would have a bumper harvest from sweet potatoes and would no longer suffer from hunger, she didn't want to waste this year at all.

Although Chen Qingzhu was also very happy to obtain this high-yield grain variety, she had seen farming and had planted many spiritual plants herself. She knew that it was not easy to promote a new crop, so she raised her hand slightly, signaling Rong Niang to be patient.

"Mother?"

Rongniang looked at her in confusion.

Chen Qingzhu thought for a moment and said patiently:

"Rong Niang, if you hadn't come to Dongfan Island, Emperor Yong'an would give you some fruits you've never seen before, saying that they can produce over a thousand kilograms per mu, and asked you to take them to a prefecture under your jurisdiction and plant them on all the land. Would you be willing?"

Rong Niang was startled:

"...Of course I don't want to."

So, similarly, the people might not be willing to use their precious land to grow food that they are completely unfamiliar with.

Chen Qingzhu said again:

"Even if you are willing to plant it, but you have never planted it before, do you know how to grow sweet potato seedlings?"

"How deep should the rhizomes of seeds be buried? Should they be watered? When should they grow to a certain extent before they can be planted? What is the planting density and depth? How loose is the soil? How can we ensure survival? How can we ensure results? Can you control it?"

This series of questions completely confused Rong Niang.

She had never farmed before and knew nothing about this.

Even though she had just asked about the planting method, she still couldn't answer the questions raised by her mother.

Think about the people under his rule. Can they understand how to grow sweet potatoes without any instruction by just a few simple words?

If we just plant them randomly and fail to produce a good harvest of sweet potatoes, will people still be willing to plant them next season?

Only then did Rong Niang understand why her mother told her not to worry.

To successfully promote their products, they need to prepare more than just seeds.

She thought for a while and began to offer her suggestions:

"Mother, can we first bring some people who are good at farming back to our jurisdiction and have them teach the people how to plant crops in each village?"

Chen Qingzhu nodded approvingly.

"of course can."

The two discussed it again, and then Chen Qingzhu used a communication talisman to contact Huiyun, asking her to ask Zheng Yuannai for people and come to the northern part of Dongfan Island immediately to pick up a group of people who were good at growing sweet potatoes.

It takes time.

At the speed of an ordinary person, it would take about ten days to reach Dongfan Island.

During this period, Chen Qingzhu was not idle either.

She first returned to the area she had already cleared and took away all the sweet potatoes.

She also told the people that anyone who was willing to go to her jurisdiction to serve as an envoy to the Ministry of Agriculture and guide other villagers in growing sweet potatoes would not only receive 700 coins of silver per month, which would provide them with food, clothing and shelter, but would also be given the status of an official.

It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, as long as you can master the essentials of growing sweet potatoes.

Most of these captured people were villagers.

Naturally, one would yearn for the opportunity to work in a government office and have food and accommodation provided.

Regardless of gender, anyone who has grown sweet potatoes is actively striving to become an envoy of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Chen Qingzhu ordered the village head to select those with rich experience from among them.

After gathering two thousand men from several villages, she ordered all the envoys of the Ministry of Agriculture to assemble and head to the northern part of Dongfan Island, waiting for her army to come and support them.

She herself continued to sweep the northern part of Dongfan Island.

In just ten days, she not only wiped out all the Japanese pirate forces, seized more than a dozen treasures in the form of talismans, but also destroyed two fortresses of the Golden Haired Barbarians.

The Golden Haired Barbarians were unexpectedly wealthy. Their warehouses were filled not only with a lot of treasures from the East, but also with 50,000 taels of round gold ingots and more than 100,000 taels of round silver ingots.

It is said that this is the currency of the Golden Haired Barbarians.

Chen Qingzhu didn't care which country the items were from, as long as they were gold or silver, he would put them all into the talisman.

In addition, more than 20 cannons, more than 40 warships loaded with small cannons, nearly a thousand new-style muskets, and a lot of ammunition were seized.

These things were filled with more than a dozen talismans for storing objects.

Unlike her treatment of the Japanese pirates, she only killed half of the Golden-haired barbarians and let the rest escape.

Rong Niang subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Chen Qingzhu.

"No need to chase them anymore, just let them go."

In the past when hunting down Japanese pirates, Rong Niang always helped her mother to find out the gaps and fill them in.

If any Japanese pirates tried to escape from her mother's hands, she would be responsible for finishing them off.

Being stopped by Chen Qingzhu, Rong Niang stamped her feet in anxiety.

"Mother, they are too scattered to be chased!"

Chen Qingzhu patted her shoulder soothingly and explained:

"I heard that these golden-haired barbarians came from another country across the sea. There are other forces and fortresses in the South Sea of ​​Wei and even further away."

"At present, we don't have much time to sweep a wider area of ​​the sea. It is better to let some of them go and make an example of them."

Only then did Rong Niang realize.

If all these golden-haired barbarians were killed, once the golden-haired barbarians in other regions realized that something was wrong with Dongfan Island, they would definitely gather a large number of people to come for revenge.

My mother might not still be on the island by then, let alone be rescued in time.

In this case, the people on the island will inevitably have to face the wrath of the golden-haired barbarians.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to leave enough survivors for the Golden Haired Barbarians, so that they would know how terrifying the Lord Du'e is and would not dare to come to Dongfan Island again.

The facts were just as Chen Qingzhu had imagined.

For the next ten years or so, these golden-haired barbarians dared not set foot on Dongfan Island again.

Ten days later, Chen Qingzhu had swept through most of the Liuli Islands.

There are also many Japanese pirates entrenched on these scattered small islands.

Calculating the time, she activated the communication talisman again to contact Huiyun.

After confirming that the army sent by Zheng Yuannai had arrived in Songhu with the people from Dongfan Island who knew how to grow sweet potatoes, and that Zhang Liu's men began to teach them, Chen Qingzhu also temporarily stopped the raid on the Japanese pirates and rushed back to Nandu with Rong Niang.

The main purpose of this trip is to transport the sweet potatoes used as seeds back to Nandu.

Of course, other seized property must also be returned.

Many vacant warehouses have already been prepared.

Knowing that the God was about to return, the first stop was the warehouse, and the civil and military officials in the court spontaneously went to the warehouse to greet him.

"Welcome to the God!"

"Welcome Young Master!"

All the civil and military officials bowed down in worship.

Seeing that everyone was there, Chen Qingzhu smiled and said:

"Everyone has worked hard these days. Since all the officials are here, we will take all the things from each department back."

"These twenty or so warehouses in the front are allocated by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw the figure of their God turned into an afterimage and quickly passed by the doors of more than 20 warehouses.

No one could see her figure at all.

I saw flashes of golden light, and the originally empty warehouse was completely filled up with boxes of various sizes.

Qin Dafu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, walked forward and opened a few boxes at random, and saw that they were all filled with golden gold.

"God, these... these... are these rooms full of valuables?"

he asked in disbelief.

Chen Qingzhu nodded:

"That's right, you guys should take good care of the inventory."

Qin Dafu took a breath of cold air.

The Qin family has been doing business for dozens or even hundreds of years, and he has never seen so much money!

The other trusted ministers also showed shock and ecstasy on their faces.

The God is worthy of being a God. With a wave of his hand, more than 20 warehouses of gold, silver and treasures are available.

If they continue like this, there will be no worries that the money in their treasury will run out.

In this way, the various plans of various departments will no longer have to worry about lack of funds.

Everyone can show off their talents to their heart's content!

(I will add another chapter tomorrow.)

After giving the money to the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Qingzhu released the cannons, muskets, and warships seized from the Golden Haired Barbarians one by one.

Everyone saw their own God waved his hand in the open space, and large ships appeared out of thin air. In a flash, the originally empty warehouse was surrounded by various warships and artillery.

Everyone was shocked at first, but then they became numb with shock.

Chen Qingzhu said:

"While I was on my way to suppress the Japanese pirates in Dongfan Island, I encountered two groups of golden-haired barbarians. They were closely connected with the Japanese pirates, so I suppressed them together."

"These are all captured from the Yi people's city. They are said to be more useful than the artillery and warships of the Wei Dynasty. The Ministry of Industry will take some of them to the craftsmen for research and strive for early mass production. The rest will be divided among the navy."

Everyone except Huiyun was shocked again.

This time, the God did not hold a court meeting for more than 20 days, and everything was decided by the cabinet. The Deputy Prime Minister Huiyun said that the God was in seclusion, and everyone believed it.

After all, most of them are believers of Cihang Temple, and they have long known that the master spends most of the day practicing.

So it is normal to suddenly retreat for ten days or half a month.

As for the young master Rong Niang, everyone thought she was still dividing the land outside.

Who could have thought that the two of them would quietly go to the sea to suppress the Japanese.

"So... those treasures just now were all seized from the Japanese pirates and the barbarians?" someone couldn't help but ask.

At first they thought it appeared out of thin air.

Chen Qingzhu said:

"Yes."

Everyone gasped again.

With so many treasures, how many Japanese pirates did the God destroy?

The Japanese pirates who had troubled the Wei court for a hundred years were wiped out so easily.

This shows that a single God is more powerful than an army of thousands of mortals.

With the God around, even if the Wei court attacks with all its might, their regime in Nandu will be as solid as a rock.

Thinking of this, everyone became more and more confident in their own regime, and they worshipped and respected Chen Qingzhu, the god, more and more, not daring to have any disloyal thoughts.

The one they follow is the true God, who cannot be defeated or deceived, and they can only be loyal to him devoutly!

Chen Qingzhu took in everyone's expressions and smiled with satisfaction.

She could have delivered these things directly to the warehouses of various departments.

With her skills, she can do it quietly without disturbing anyone.

But she still asked Huiyun to prepare a large enough warehouse and did this in front of all her subordinates.

The human heart is like a mirror, which needs to be wiped and polished frequently to remain bright and clean.

Although most of the people in front of her are trustworthy subordinates and ministers, she still needs to show them some tricks from time to time to keep them loyal and respectful to her.

The effect of this move at the moment is obviously very good.

After demonstrating his strength, Chen Qingzhu then took out the highlight of the day - sweet potatoes.

She waved her hand and released a small mountain of sweet potatoes in front of everyone:

"This is a new crop discovered on Dongfan Island, locally called sweet potato. What you see in front of you is the yield of one acre of sandy land."

Sweet potatoes are very suitable for growing in sandy soil, so one acre of land can produce more than 2,000 kilograms.

Everyone had already heard that the God was going to promote a high-yield crop called sweet potato under his rule, and had already sent documents to the counties asking them to cooperate.

But it was the first time for everyone to see the real sweet potato.

Seeing this pile of root-shaped food in front of them, everyone was amazed:

"Isn't sand the poorest land? It's amazing that even sand can produce so much!"

"Yes, it turns the sand into treasure!"

“What an incredible grain!”

Yuan Songbo has a deep understanding of farming and has always been concerned about people's livelihood. He has been looking forward to this sweet potato for a long time.

He walked forward eagerly, ignoring the dirt on the sweet potato, and immediately picked one up and weighed it in his hand:

“This one has a really solid weight!”

As he said this, he wiped the mud off the sweet potato with his sleeve and took a bite.

He took the elixir given by the temple master. His teeth were as good as those of young people, and he easily bit off a large piece of skin and flesh.

After chewing and swallowing the sweet potato, he exclaimed in admiration:

"This sweet potato is sweet and powdery, which shows that it can not only fill your stomach, but also nourish your body. It is really a good thing!"

He came from a farming family and often went to the countryside when he was a local official. He had a deep understanding of crops, so he was able to accurately point out the benefits of sweet potatoes.

"It is a blessing for the people of the world to find such good grains!"

Chen Qingzhu smiled appreciatively and said to everyone:

"Sweet potatoes were discovered by Rong Niang."

"This child is always concerned about the suffering of the people and is very observant. During the suppression of the Japanese pirates, he saw that the women abducted by the pirates were plumper than the villagers. After some investigation, he found out that the pirates had been feeding them with sweet potatoes."

Everyone's eyes fell on the young master who had been standing quietly beside the God.

Chen Qingzhu has never been shy about Rong Niang's identity.

Therefore, everyone gradually came to know that this girl was the offspring of the God when he was a mortal.

Although for some old-fashioned scholars, it would be very uncomfortable to let a girl inherit the kingdom founded by the God and become their king in the future.

But the God had only this one heir, and his attitude was very clear. He made her the young master and allowed her to observe and participate in government affairs, so they did not dare to object.

After all, the God is in his prime, and he is not a mortal. He can rule the country for a long time, so there is no need for them to go against the God now.
