In the following days, Xiao Yi still brought his men to help with the autumn harvest.

Of course, the yield of corn and potatoes in the fields shocked everyone again.

After harvesting the potatoes, Su Weixi also taught Chef Fang and his wife how to make a potato feast, which included roasting, frying, steaming and boiling.

Everyone had eaten these two kinds of food at the Su family before, but no one expected that these things were so productive.

Su Weixi even heard Shi Tou muttering: Could it be that the Su family is the reincarnation of the god of agriculture? Why are every crop so productive?

However, during this period, Xiao Yi did not show any abnormality, but it was also visible to the naked eye that his usually serious face would occasionally show a smile.

Su Weixi and Su's father saw Mr. Fu and wanted to go up and talk to Su's father several times, but were stopped by Xiao Yi every time.

It turns out that a general is really able to keep his composure.

What the Su family didn't know was that Xiao Yi was not as calm as he appeared.

In addition to not wanting to disturb the Su family's autumn harvest, he also wanted to see if there were any more surprises in the Su family's fields.

When he was wandering around the valley earlier, he had discovered that the corn was very productive.

After all, compared with fruits such as potatoes and sweet potatoes that grow in the fields, they are not easily discovered.

The corn stalks standing tall in the valley were still very eye-catching. Not to mention, Xiao Yi had picked corn with Su Weixi before.

But at that time, I was not very familiar with the Su family, and I was not sure about the exact output, so I was just waiting for the opportunity.

After the Su family's autumn harvest was completed, the Su family father and daughter finally waited for Xiao Yi, and he was accompanied by Old Fu.

……

At the stone table under the big tree in the Su family's yard, Su's father, Xiao Yi and Mr. Fu were sitting and drinking tea.

"Nephew Su, this old man and I came here to ask for a favor." Old Fu spoke first.

"Mr. Fu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will do my best to help you if I can." Father Su pretended not to know the purpose of the two men's visit and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Fu looked at Xiao Yi and motioned for Xiao Yi to speak himself.

"Uncle Su, where do you get the seeds for the sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and wheat you grow in your fields?"

“Well, didn’t I tell you before that I found those sweet potatoes and potatoes by accident when I was hunting in the mountains?

As for the wheat seeds, they were left by an old hunter who lived here before, and my family has been planting them since we moved here."

"I wonder if Uncle Su could take me back to where you found these crops?"

"Why are you going there?" It should be said that Su's father acted quite convincingly and clearly knew what Xiao Yi's purpose was.

"Alas, you are a warrior, but you speak like a scholar, in a lot of roundabout ways." Old Fu pretended to dislike Xiao Yi.

Dad Su just picked up the teacup and drank tea, smiling and pretending not to understand.

Mr. Fu was unable to continue acting for a moment.

"Ahem, nephew. You've heard me say before that the wheat yield in Dasheng is only about 100 kilograms. Looking around Dasheng, there is no crop with a higher yield than the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn in your field.

So we thought since you can find these crops in the mountains, we also wanted to go up the mountain to see if we could find them.

If we promote planting, it will save many people in Dasheng from starvation."

"Yes, that's why I want Uncle Su to lead the way."

Xiao Yi was also helpless. He had asked the secret guards and himself to go around the mountains many times in the past few days, but they had not found these crops.

"Oh, so that's what it is. If you guys want to plant some, I'll give you some.

You don't have to go into that mountain. I found several plants at the time and brought them all back.

After that, I planted it several times and constantly improved the planting method. Only then did I find the current planting method and achieve the current yield. "

Mr. Fu and Xiao Yi didn't expect that Mr. Su had summarized the planting methods himself.

"Uncle Su, do you mean that it is because of your current planting method that this crop has such a high yield?" Xiao Yi asked excitedly.

"Yes, the ones we planted before didn't produce many fruits."

"Then, nephew, can you tell me how you grow it?"

"Easy, just wait a moment."

After saying that, Father Su got up and went into the house. When he came out, he had three booklets in his hand and handed them to the two of them.

Mr. Fu and Xiao Yi took the booklet and looked at it, only to see the words "Sweet Potato Planting", "Potato Planting" and "Corn Planting" written on the cover.

The two of them couldn't wait to open one of the books and start reading, and Mr. Fu applauded from time to time.

Dad Su ate the snacks on the table and looked at the two of them quietly.

The booklet the two were reading was written by Su Weixi.

Ever since the Su family decided to find a way to improve their status last time, they began to write about the cultivation methods of sweet potatoes and other crops.

In order to make it more realistic, I first wrote about the planting methods that people of this era habitually thought of, and then wrote about the real planting methods at the end.

How else to explain, for a potato, how did you know the first time that you should cut it into several pieces according to the eyes and then wrap them in wood ash before planting?

How do you know that sandy soil is more suitable for growing sweet potatoes?

Half an hour later, both of them finished reading the three booklets.

"My dear nephew, did you write these booklets?" Mr. Fu asked after reading them.

"I am a rough guy, how can I have such thoughts? This is written by my daughter.

She was practicing calligraphy with her mother at that time. I was planting these things, so she wrote them down.

Later, she sorted it out because she was bored. "Suzie said happily.

"My dear nephew, you just took out this booklet and showed it to us. Aren't you afraid that we might leak it out?" Mr. Fu asked meaningfully.

"It's nothing, the kid just wrote it for fun."

"Uncle Su, I have a favor to ask you." Xiao Yi suddenly stood up and bowed.

Father Su looked at Xiao Yi in confusion: "Young General, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

"Uncle Su, I beg you to sell me some sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and wheat, as well as this planting book." Xiao Yi said and bowed to Su's father

"Ah? Sell it to you."

"Oh, what do you think of me?" Father Su stood up and helped Xiao Yi up. "If you want some, I'll give it to you. You don't have to buy it."

"That's not right, Uncle Sue."

"My dear nephew, you just accept the money he gives you. You don't know that this is a priceless treasure." Old Fu interrupted at the right time.

"No, no, no, money is not that important to us. Living in this mountain doesn't cost much." After saying that, Father Su looked at Xiao Yi with pretended hesitation.

"Uncle Su, please feel free to ask for anything you want." Xiao Yi said quickly.

"I want to exchange a guarantee and a condition from you. First of all, you must not tell others that the origin of this crop and its planting method is from the Su family. As for what excuses you want to make, my Su family will not care.

This condition is that I hope that if my Su family is in trouble in the future, your Zhenguo Mansion can lend a helping hand.

Can you agree to these?" Father Su said, staring straight at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was a little hesitant for a moment. It was not that the conditions proposed by the Su family were too difficult, but that they were too simple. He was getting a great deal.

"Nephew Su, this is not a condition at all.

Do you know what pressing these things out means? If you knew, you wouldn’t be reluctant to do it.”

Mr. Fu was also a little stunned for a moment. The Su family's request was so simple. If it were someone else, they would have asked for an exorbitant amount of money.

I thought that Mr. Su didn't know the importance of these things, so I spoke up to remind him.

Su Weixi: My family really doesn’t lack money!

"I know. Didn't you say that, Mr. Fu? If we take these things out, there will be fewer people starving to death in this world."

Father Su obviously knew the meaning of these things. For a moment, Mr. Fu and Xiao Yi were a little confused and looked at Father Su.

"But I also know that it is a crime to possess a treasure.

When I found out that these things were very productive, I thought about spreading the word, but I’m just a small hunter in the mountains.”

Before Mr. Su finished speaking, Mr. Fu and Xiao Yi both knew what the unspoken speculation was.

If a small hunter publicizes such a high-yield crop, it will definitely attract the attention of interested people.

Even if it is handed over to the county magistrate, if it happens to be a corrupt official, it will definitely be a catastrophic disaster.

Then these things will only fall into the hands of the rich and powerful, and ordinary people will still not be able to access them.

"Uncle Su, I want to ask, why did you choose to give these to me?"

“Hahahahahahaha, because you are from the Zhenguo Duke’s Mansion, and the Zhenguo Duke’s Mansion has been stationed at the border for several years to resist the Northern Di people.

Moreover, he has never been known for oppressing the people and is deeply loved by the people. I promise that the Duke of Zhenguo will not let me down, nor will it let the people down."

After saying this, Father Su solemnly placed the booklet on the table into Xiao Yi's hands.

Xiao Yi bowed deeply again, "Thank you for your trust, Uncle Su. Don't worry, my Zhenguo Mansion will never let the Su family and the people down."

"Hahahahahaha, okay, I believe you. Find someone to move all the things in the warehouse away, and leave some for me as seeds."

"My dear nephew Su, you are so righteous. I admire you. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people who will no longer suffer from hunger in the future." As Mr. Fu said this, he stood up and bowed to Su's father.

Father Su was so scared that he immediately helped Mr. Fu up. Mr. Fu was already in his sixties, and he was an elder, so he couldn't bear such a bow.

After some polite exchanges, the three of them sat down again to continue discussing these crops and planting methods.

That night, Xiao Yi wrote three letters under candlelight.

Give it to An Yi, An Er and An San, and ask them to deliver it to the capital, the border and Qingzhou city respectively.

He also issued an order that faith is as long as the person is alive, but it will be destroyed when the person dies.
