Chapter 288 (1/2)

At this time, the old man said, ”well, the potatoes are growing very well. There are several in one of them.”

Xu Qing doesn't need to get excited after listening. He was worried before. Now, it's really a double happiness.

Then Xu Qing took the old man's hand and said, ”come on, take me to have a look.”

”Well, my Lord, just follow me.” The old man nodded his head and said to Xu Qing.

Then he went to one side.

Then everyone gave way and followed Xu Qing.

At this time, Li Ming said to Liang Cheng with arch hands, ”elder Liang, I will go and have a look.”

”Go, go.” Liang Cheng waved to him.

After all the people left, Liang Cheng turned to his tent.

He hasn't slept well these days. Now that the dam is completed, he can finally have a good sleep.

Xu Qing followed the old man to their fields, and the old man said to Xu Qing with a smile, ”Xu adult, here you are.”

Then the old man walked into the field and bent down to pull out a potato vine. When all the potatoes were unearthed, he saw five or six big potatoes hanging on the root of the vine.

Then the old man went to Xu Qing and said, ”look, my Lord.”

”Good, good.” Xu Qing then pulled down a potato and put it in his hand. He couldn't help shouting.

After that, people began to talk about it. ”The potatoes in my field are so big.”

”My family is not as big as this, but there are a lot of potatoes on it.”

Then Xu Qing turned to the villagers behind him and said, ”let's be quiet and listen to me first.”

Seeing the crowd quiet down, Xu Qing asked, ”all the potatoes in the fields have grown?”

”It's all grown up, my Lord.”

”My family still feels a little bit small. It should be a few days longer.”

”Well, since it's almost the same length, now we'll start digging slowly. The weather will be cold soon, and it's rainy continuously. It will be more difficult to dig then.” Xu Qing said at this time.

Then an aunt stood up and asked Xu Qing, ”Lord Xu, what should I do after the potatoes are dug out?”

”You don't have to worry about that. When you get the potatoes together, I'll ask someone to pull them out and sell them or change some things for winter.” Then Xu Qing said again.

Only when Xu Qing's voice just fell, the low people began to talk about it. Listening to Xu Qing's voice, he wanted everyone's potatoes to be sold together.

Xu Qing naturally knows that some people don't want to, but every family goes to sell potatoes. First of all, it's a long way to go outside. What should some families do if they lose their labor force.

So Xu Qing said at this time, ”this year's capital is flooded, and people who can stand here are desperate to survive. We have nothing to live in winter.”

Xu Qing said with a slight frown, and then said, ”I know that everyone wants to sell their own, but have you ever thought about what to do for those who lost their labor in the flood?”

”How do you divide the things that you exchange with potatoes?” Then a voice came from the crowd.

At this time, Xu Qing said, ”let's relax. I'll give everything back and money for sale according to the head of each family. Now we have escaped the flood and plague. Next, we can't starve to death and freeze to death in winter, so all we have to do is work together to finish this winter.”

”Mr. Xu is right. Let's all get together and pass this winter. I'm old enough to avoid the flood and pestilence. Then I'll make it through. We're all villagers. Don't worry about these things.” Cried an old man.

I saw that the old man's voice was just falling, and someone in the crowd said, ”since the old master has agreed, what can we say? Xu is such a good official who is dedicated to the people, I listen to him.”

”I also listen to Xu adults...”

”I also listen to Xu adults...”

The crowd immediately nodded their heads and said.

Seeing that everyone had let go, Xu Qing nodded his head with satisfaction, then reached out his hand to show everyone to be quiet, and then he said, ”since everyone agrees, OK, let's start this afternoon and start digging potatoes, OK?”

”It's all for adults!” The villagers all spoke together.

Then Xu Qing said to everyone, ”OK, everyone in every village starts to dig from the East. We will divide the work one by one. Then I will send people to hire carriages and transport these potatoes to the towns next to the capital for sale in batches. Each village can choose a representative to follow.”

”Good.” All nodded in response.

At this time, Xu Qing said, ”in this case, let's hurry back to work and get it done earlier. Everyone will have a better life this winter.”

Then everyone began to disperse.

When everyone was about to leave, Xu Qing turned to Li Ming and said, ”let's go. We should go back and prepare.”

”Yes, my Lord.” Li Minggong set about and immediately followed Xu Qing back to the government.

Yamen.

After several people's interruptions, the government office has recovered its former appearance.

But the furnishings in the house were very poor.
