After farming, I opened a family tree

Not only Minister Zhao was looking at Shen Tang, everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Tang.

"Two acres of land, a total of 2,482.6 jin!"

The average yield per mu was 1,200 kilograms, which is similar to that in later generations.

Shen Tang thought to himself.

In the courtyard, when Shen Tang said the two thousand four hundred and eighty kilograms, his heart trembled violently.

"The average yield per mu is 1,241.3 jin (approximately 1,241.3 kg)."

Shen Tang looked calm and reported the average yield per mu without any panic.

"One thousand two hundred catties, a yield of one thousand catties per mu, far more than one thousand catties!"

"The average yield per acre is 300 kilograms, but this is more than three times that!"

"This is simply unheard of!"

......

The Shen family was fine. After all, Shen Tang had already told them a lot about the yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu. Although they were also shocked, they did not lose their composure.

However, Minister Zhao and others in the courtyard were extremely excited. They excitedly held each other's hands and shook them vigorously.

"One thousand two hundred catties per mu! One thousand two hundred catties!"

"My Lord, this is truly God's blessing on our Great Qi!"

"I must return to the capital immediately to report to the Emperor! Quickly pack a small package and bring it back to the capital for me!"

Minister Zhao was overjoyed and decided to bring some of the rice back to show the emperor.

The hybrid rice after threshing is obviously very different from the rice currently grown in Da Qi, with the grains being longer and fuller.

Although the rice grown by farmers in Da Qi today has a yield of 300 kilograms per mu, this also includes the weight of empty shells.

But the rice grown by Shen Tang can almost be said to be of real weight.

Shen Tang filled a small bag and gave it to Minister Zhao. Turning around, he saw Prefect Xiao looking at him eagerly. Just as he was about to fill some for Prefect Xiao, he heard Minister Zhao speak.

"Shen Tang, don't touch the rice for now. I will send you an imperial decree after I return to the capital."

Shen Tang had never thought that he had lost the right to dispose of the rice he had planted. However, thinking of the promise he had made to Shenjia Village and the local villagers, he spoke up:

"To be honest, sir, I had already promised the villagers of this village that I would give them priority in distributing this batch of rice before it was harvested."

When Minister Zhao heard this, he frowned slightly, but then he thought, yes, this farmer probably didn't know that this rice would alarm the court.

"But don't worry, sir. We have two thousand catties of rice now. Shenjia Village is small, and if we give each household one catty, it will only be enough to harvest the rice from one mu of land. There are still a thousand catties left."

Minister Zhao nodded:

"I will report this matter to the imperial court. Whether or not they grant my approval is another matter. However, Shen Tang, your family will definitely receive the reward!"

After saying this, he gave some instructions to Prefect Xiao and County Magistrate Lin, then left immediately with his son.

Shen Tang looked at Minister Zhao and sighed in his heart.

It seems that Minister Zhao is a pretty good official.

Seeing that Minister Zhao had left, County Magistrate Lin and Prefect Xiao stayed to make the remaining work arrangements.

"Shen Tang, although this rice was grown by your family, Lord Zhao just said before he left that your rice has caught the attention of the imperial court.

I think this matter can no longer be concealed in the next few days. I will send people to Shenjia Village, so you can rest assured."

Prefect Xiao looked at the rice with a serious expression.

This first batch of rice, which yields 1,000 kilograms per mu, is worth a fortune.

Although the Jiangnan region is prosperous and peaceful, there are thieves everywhere.

Shen Tang naturally understood what Prefect Xiao meant. If the rice were to be discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it would cause unrest and would surely be a big trouble.

Afterwards, Prefect Xiao and County Magistrate Lin left, but some of the soldiers they brought with them stayed in Shenjia Village.

Naturally, the news that Shen Tang's family's rice yielded 1,000 kilograms per mu had spread throughout Shenjia Village. Although the villagers of Shenjia Village knew that the rice was estimated to yield 1,000 kilograms per mu, they were still shocked to find that it yielded more than 200 kilograms.

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Shen Tang's family.

Many people appeared in the two acres of land of the Shen family, picking up the rice that had accidentally fallen and had not been collected.

Several elders of the clan sat in the headman's house, puffing on their pipes.

"Now that all the masters from the capital have arrived, I wonder if Shen Tang's promise to give our clan the rice seeds is still valid."

"I think it's very uncertain. Now I heard that Lord Zhao has brought the rice back to the capital. I'm sure it's for the Emperor!"

"Hey, you said our village finally got back on its feet, and now, hey!"

"Although Shen Tang has already told Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao has also said that it is still unknown."

"Oh, what will we do if our village can't grow crops next year?"

The village head and the elders sat together, all brows furrowed.

In addition, the workshop was now guarded by yamen runners, each of whom was armed with a big knife, so they dared not get close.

Except for Shen Tang's family members, no one else is allowed to get close.

Compared to the gloomy mood of the village head and the elders, Shen Tang's home was quite lively.

These yamen runners are all tall and strong, and they eat a lot even if they don't work.

After finishing the work on the two acres of land, the workshop was on holiday for the autumn harvest, and Liu was free. The Shen family's meals were different every day, and they were treated to delicious fish and meat every meal.

Although these yamen runners usually have a good life, it is impossible for them to eat so well every time.

The Shen family now has an extremely good impression.

After Shen Dashan and Liu had turned over the rice, they found a room to store it. Shen Dashan even moved a small couch and used it to watch over the rice while he rested at night.

As the sun sets, the sky is filled with stars and the moon.

Shen Tang was lying in the room, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan while opening the system.

"Congratulations to the player for successfully planting and harvesting rice. The system reward has been distributed to your backpack.

Since the player completes the main quest for the first time, the system rewards a lottery. After the lottery, the system mall will be opened.

The mall currency and real-world currency are 1:1."

Sure enough, the mission was accomplished.

It's really not easy. It takes her nearly a year to complete a task.

Shen Tang didn't check what the system rewards were, but opened the system lottery first.

Let her see what good things are in this lottery system!

The lottery page is rectangular, with the lottery button in the middle and various lottery rewards in the outer circle.

Wow! That’s amazing!

The rewards range from thousand-year-old ginseng and real estate in Beijing to ordinary farm tools, all of which are included in this prize pool.

Sure enough, the essence of the lottery was still the same. Shen Tang rubbed his hands and just hoped that his luck would not be too bad.

He stretched out his finger and tapped lightly, and then the system emitted a faint purple light.

The purple light disappeared and a box appeared on the page.

"Congratulations to the player for winning..."
