To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

The next day, Shen Yujin got up in high spirits. He had a rare late sleep and was filled with joy from the inside out.

Seeing the children happy, Shen Fu and Shen Rong also joined in the fun. After all, nothing grew well in that mountain area, and they also wanted to join in the fun.

The Shen family came to the hillside and were all stunned by the scene in front of them. They were shocked and wondered what the hell was going on. Half of the hillside was covered with green leaves, and from time to time there was a huge golden ball in the middle.

Shen Rong asked Shen Yujin, "Son, what is this that you can eat?"

This is a common problem among flower growers. When they see something rare, the first thing they think of is eating it.

Shen Yujin is now like a charlatan: "This is a pumpkin from a foreign country, it tastes delicious!"

Shen Rong slapped him and said, "Speak nicely, you little bastard! If you keep quibbling, I'll beat you to death!"

Shen Fu kicked Shen Rong on the butt: "Who are you, my father? If anyone dares to touch a hair of my grandson, I will make you kneel down and help him up!"

Shen Rong didn't dare to resist his father's authority, so he could only chuckle and take a step back. Shen Fu's eyes were smiling: "My dear grandson, this thing is edible and quite sweet, isn't it?"

Shen Yujin picked a pumpkin from the field that was so big that he couldn't even pinch it with his fingernails. It was amazing to see that the pumpkin must weigh dozens of kilograms.

Shen Yujin handed the pumpkin to the housekeeper: "Uncle Zheng, wash it, cut it in half, take out the seeds, and hang it to dry. Save it for seeds next year. Cut the flesh into pieces and steam it. Bring it here for everyone to try."

The old housekeeper seemed to be on a whirlwind of luck as he called two strong farmhands to carry the pumpkins home.

Here, Shen Fu walked to the sweet potato field and saw the yellow leaves all over the ground. He sighed and said, "This is not bad. It's not a small amount to harvest half of the sweet potatoes!"

Shen Yujin calmly directed the farmhands to start paving the ground with pear sticks.

Shen Fu was stunned. What was this kid looking for in the dead grass?

As the old ox ran, the pear sticks opened up a layer of earth flowers on the ground. The sweet potatoes buried underground emerged one by one.

Shen Fu was stunned when he saw all these sweet potatoes! How could there be so many of them? They were so densely packed that they formed a layer.

Shen Yujin picked up a few sweet potatoes and handed them to the servant beside him. He took them to Butler Zheng to steam together and brought them over for everyone to taste!

Shen Fu, however, stopped his pear stick when he saw the sweet potatoes on the ground. He ordered someone to bring a large scale and weighed the sweet potatoes one by one. It was amazing that he had harvested nearly 2,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes after only turning over two ridges!

Shen Fu was so excited that his face turned red and he kept muttering "ancestors bless you". In less than an hour, housekeeper Zheng came to the hillside carrying two large basins. Shen Fu didn't care whether the sweet potatoes were hot or not, and hurriedly broke off a piece with his hands and put it in his mouth.

The heat made Shen Fu's eyebrows wrinkled together, but he was reluctant to spit it out. After eating the sweet potato, Shen Fu's eyes lit up. Wow, it's quite sweet.

He picked up another piece of pumpkin and put it in his mouth, nodding as he ate. It tasted really good!

Shen Fu ordered the housekeeper with a serious face: "Go to the city and report to the county magistrate. Explain the situation of the fields to him. There is new grain in Daming. Don't be afraid to spend money, you must see the county magistrate!"

Shen Yujin was a little puzzled: "Pulling Shen Fu into the bamboo forest, he said: "Grandpa, what are you going to do? We finally got away. Wouldn't this attract attention to the Shen family again?"

The Emperor is not someone you can easily get along with. Grandpa, it’s not too late to get the housekeeper back now!”

Shen Fu's eyes filled with tears: "Brother Jin, you have lived in luxury since you were a child, you don't know how difficult life is. If you had this pumpkin, your great-grandfather and great-grandmother wouldn't have starved to death!

This person can die in any way, but cannot die of starvation! When a person is extremely hungry, he can even bite a piece of cotton.

What kind of life was that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty? Human life was worthless! A living young girl could be bought for just two dou of grain. If I hadn't had the opportunity, I would have gone down to accompany your great-grandfather and great-grandmother long ago.

I really can't control the Zhu family's world. I, Shen Fu, will let everyone in the world eat this melon even if it means risking my life! The feeling of hunger is too uncomfortable!

Who wants to die when they can live? Yu Jin, in order to prevent people from starving to death, please forgive grandpa for not caring about anything this time! Keep the things at home. If grandpa doesn't meet his end this time, you must keep the clan alive!

Our Shen family cannot be without its descendants. Children, don’t worry about grandpa at the critical moment. I am already half buried in the earth. You should take your brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles and run away far away!

There is no place where the earth doesn't bury people! At my age, I've already lived enough! "

Shen Yujin bowed deeply: "Grandpa, I have learned your lesson! I can't even compare to your carelessness! I will live up to your trust. As long as I have a bite to eat, my brothers and sisters will not starve!"

Shen Fu helped Shen Yujin up and said, "My dear child, I'm sorry that grandpa has caused you trouble."

Shen Fu and his family anxiously waited for the arrival of the county magistrate. Officials during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang were not as corrupt as those in the late Ming Dynasty. After all, the discovery of new grain was also his political achievement.

Soon the county magistrate came on horseback with a group of yamen runners. He ignored Shen Fu's greetings and squatted down to look at the sweet potatoes on the ground. He took out the cold sweet potato pumpkin from the big basin and stuffed it into his mouth in one bite.

The county magistrate nodded while eating, and without caring about anything else, he directly ordered the farmhand to dig a row of sweet potatoes for him to see.

The farmhands and yamen runners worked together. These days, the common people really knew a little about farming, and there weren't so many lazy people who didn't know how to farm.

Soon the sweet potatoes were dug out, and the magistrate, no longer caring about his official robes and formalities, threw himself into the field frantically picking up the potatoes. The yamen runner personally carried a large scale and began to weigh them.

The lawyer took a brush and counted quickly on the paper. His math was excellent and he quickly calculated the yield per mu. The pumpkin yield was amazing. Such poor land could actually produce more than 4,000 kilograms!

The yellow pumpkin next to it also has an amazing yield, with an output of more than 3,000 kilograms per acre!

County Magistrate Xie Hongsheng sat down on the ground. "Grandma Xue is finally rich this time! With this good seed, she will be able to rise to prominence in no time!"

County Magistrate Xie bowed to Shen Fushen and said, "Old man, the crops in these fields cannot be moved at all. I will send people to help you look after them. We must not let any good crops be lost. I will go to the capital to see the emperor immediately!"

After giving a few more instructions to his legal advisor, he took four skilled yamen runners with him and headed straight for the capital in a carriage.

Now the Shen family's hillside land became a forbidden area. The yamen runners and the Shen family's servants took turns living in the land, staring at the farmland without blinking for twelve hours.

These are all the treasures of the Ming Dynasty. Losing one is a big deal! Nowadays, even a mouse passing through the hillside can be chopped in two!

"You're such a daring rat! How dare you eat Ming Dynasty grain?"
