I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

Village Chief Li immediately turned around and asked, "A Shao, have you figured it out?"

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate, I have just calculated the rice yield." It was Chen Shao's first time to meet an official in a less formal manner, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Wei Chengzhong looked at him kindly and said, "You can speak as you please."

He glanced around and saw that there was a lot of rice piled up in the field. He didn't know whether it was from this field or from the entire village.

The rice with the highest yield in Dai Viet today is produced in Jiangnan, with an output of 300 kilograms per mu, while the yield in other places is generally only around 260 kilograms.

"Your Excellency, this acre of rice land in Mrs. Lu's family has produced a total of 1,532 kilograms of rice!" Chen Shao was extremely excited when he said this number, his eyes shining.

Wei Chengzhong and other people from Dingshui Village were stunned when they heard this.

"How much did you say?" Wei Chengzhong asked again.

Chen Shao's voice rose, "My Lord, one thousand five hundred and thirty-two kilograms!"

Village chief Li snatched the small notebook from his hand in disbelief, and stared at the data recorded on it with wide eyes.

"One thousand five hundred kilograms...it's actually one thousand five hundred kilograms..." Village Chief Li muttered, still in disbelief.

Just now he felt that the yield of this acre of land would not be low, but at best he thought that 800 kilograms would be great.

Who would have thought that it would reach an astonishing 1,532 kilograms!

Jiang Qinyu's eyes widened. Are there so many?

Due to the drought, the land in Dingshui Village suffered greatly last year. The land that Jiang Qinyu chose for the rice field was not very fertile.

She was just testing the seeds given by the system, but she didn't expect to get such a surprise.

If we can get such a good harvest from such land, if we change it to better farmland and cultivate it more carefully, there will definitely be a bigger surprise.

Everyone in Dingshui Village cheered, not caring about Wei Chengzhong being there. Li Dachui and the others were laughing and shouting, crying and laughing with joy.

"Is this really just the yield of one acre of land?" Wei Chengzhong was so confused after making sure he had heard correctly that he reached out to take the small notebook in Village Chief Li's hand with trembling hands.

Village Chief Li quickly let go and replied, "Sir, there is indeed only one acre of land here, no more than one acre."

Because water had just been brought out from the underground river, they were afraid that there would not be enough water to surround the rice fields, so each family only planted one acre of rice, no more than that.

Wei Chengzhong took a deep breath and asked, "How much rice is planted in the village?"

"My lord, it's exactly fifty acres. We just harvested the crops here today just to see the yield. The others are on other fields. If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look at other fields." Village chief Li smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

One acre of rice can yield 1,500 kilograms, which is enough for a whole family to eat for a year!

Of course, if you don’t just eat rice, but mix it with other things, you can definitely eat it for a whole year.

Thinking of the previous bumper harvest of sweet potatoes and wheat, the smile on Village Chief Li's face became even bigger.

Wei Chengzhong immediately asked someone to lead the way and went to other people's rice fields to check it out in person.

When he saw that the rice in everyone's rice fields had grown full and heavy, he felt relieved without having to look any further.

Wei Chengzhong looked at Jiang Qinyu and bowed deeply. "Madam, please spread this grain throughout Yongshan County. I thank you on behalf of the people of Yongshan County!"

"Master Wei, what are you doing?" Jiang Qinyu quickly moved aside to avoid his greeting. "Didn't we agree yesterday to promote sweet potatoes throughout the county?"

Wei Chengzhong took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Yesterday I was talking about sweet potatoes, but seeing them today, I can't help but be greedy. Please help me, Madam!"

Jiang Qinyu frowned and said in embarrassment, "Master Wei, you can take my rice if you want it, but I can't make the decision about other people's rice. After all, you should know that there has been a drought in recent years, and everyone has no food stored at home. If we use all the harvest for planting, how will they survive?"

"Madam, don't worry. I will never let the villagers of Dingshui Village suffer. The county government is willing to pay a large sum of money to purchase the sweet potatoes, wheat and rice from Dingshui Village. And if you can't buy food, I can also buy it from other prefectures on your behalf. I will never let you go hungry." Wei Chengzhong said loyally.

With him saying that, Jiang Qinyu couldn't refuse anymore. However, she couldn't agree on behalf of the villagers either. So she looked at Village Chief Li and said, "Uncle Village Chief, why don't you talk to Lord Wei about this?"

Yesterday's promotion of sweet potato cultivation throughout the county was to cope with the upcoming Liu Ruyi, but today's matter is another matter.

"Since the adults have given such generous conditions, I think everyone should be willing to sell their grain seeds to the government office." Village chief Li pondered.

Most of the sweet potatoes they harvested were given to Lu Yanzheng, but several families who grew sweet potatoes kept some. If all of these were used for seeds, they would produce a lot. By then, in less than two years, the entire Yongshan County would be able to grow sweet potatoes.

There were many more wheat seeds, as many families planted them and not many were sent to border towns.

Now that County Magistrate Wei is willing to purchase the goods at a high price and has promised to help them buy food so that they won’t go hungry, the villagers must be very happy.

"In that case, the matter is settled." Wei Chengzhong felt relieved, and he said this anxiously, as if he was afraid that Village Chief Li and the others would go back on their word.

As a county official, Wei Chengzhong's greatest wish is that the people can have enough food and clothing. Before coming to Yongshan County, he felt that the future was dark and bleak, but now, he feels that the road before him is full of sunshine and flowers.

Jiang Qinyu didn't say anything. If the villagers were unwilling to sell, she could also provide some. However, if the quantity was not large, it would not be possible to promote it quickly in Yongshan County.

Now that she heard what Village Chief Li said, she could keep the money in her hand for now and give it to Qi Wu when she got to the border town.

On this day, Wei Chengzhong stayed in Dingshui Village and watched with his own eyes the villagers weighing the harvested rice.

Fifty acres of rice were harvested in one day, and the yield per acre was calculated overnight.

The lowest yield per acre was 1,200 kilograms, and the highest was over 1,600 kilograms. Not only did the people in Dingshui Village get excited, but Wei Chengzhong was also so excited that he couldn't hold back his serious face, and he was laughing almost like Village Chief Li.

Wei Chengzhong did not leave until after the hour of Hai.

Before leaving, he asked Village Chief Li to convey a message to Jiang Qinyu.

"Did Lord Wei really say this?" Jiang Qinyu asked in surprise.

Village Chief Li nodded. "That's what he said."

What Wei Chengzhong asked Village Chief Li to convey was: Madam, please make sure to take the credit for the high-yield grain seeds firmly into your own hands.
