"Village Chief Jian Heng, you asked us to go to work just now?”
Li Si wondered if he had heard wrongly. In the entire Great Qin, who would dare to make the three of them work?
Jian Heng also looked at Li Si with a confused expression and said,""Of course. Why? Do you three still want to eat for free? In my territory, no matter if you are the king or something else, if you want to eat, you have to work. This is my territory. If you're a tiger, you'd better lie down. If you're a dragon, you'd better coil up. If you don't want to work, then leave.”
After hearing these arrogant words, for the first time, Li Si felt that this Village Chief was asking for a beating. The Great Qin's Left Prime Minister was actually ordered around by a Village Chief; if this got out, wouldn't he be laughed at by the world?
"How dare you, do you know…?”
"Damn, what's wrong? I gave you food and shelter, and you still want to repay my kindness with ingratitude? I'm not afraid to tell you, let alone the three of you, I'm not afraid even if the imperial court sends an army. In this Peach Blossom Village, no one could freeload.”
"You... you're not even close. You…"
Li Si pointed at Jian Heng with his index finger. Due to his anger, he was trembling as if he had cerebral hemorrhage.
Jian Heng, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression and even reached out to pick his earwax.
How could a businessman turn the world upside down? If you say it's the emperor, I might have to consider it.
"Li Fa, don't be rude. After eating other people's food, it's understandable for you to do some work for them. Do you want to eat food handed out in contempt?”
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Li Si could only suppress his anger and sit down again. At the same time, he was secretly surprised. Could it be that His Majesty had changed?
Was Ying Zheng angry? He was indeed angry. He was the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire, the most respected person in the entire Great Qin Empire, but now, he was actually arranged to work.
However, he had listened very carefully to what Jian Heng had said just now. The word "potato" was mentioned in his words, which made him feel very curious, so he temporarily held it in. He wanted to see what else was surprising about this Peach Blossom Village.
In the afternoon, the three of them changed into the clothes that Zhao Yun had prepared for them in advance. After changing, they followed Zhao Yun to the fields in the east.
"Village Chief Jian Heng actually went down to the fields personally to collect the grain?”
The three of them looked at Jian Heng, who was constantly pulling out some "dirt lumps" from the ground, with shocked expressions.
"Of course. The village chief said that as the leader of the village, he naturally has to know how to set an example. If he can't do it himself, why should he ask his subordinates to do it?”Zi Long's face was full of pride.
"Yo, you're here. Stop standing there and get to work. Oh, Zilong, there's a new batch of mechanical cattle in the factory. Go and see if they're qualified.”
"Yes, Village Chief."
After Zhao Yun left, Jian Heng looked at the three of them and pointed to the tools beside him.""Don't just stand there. Take your tools and get to work. This land is full of potatoes. The potatoes grow underground. The yield of this thing is very high. One mu of land can produce about 150 stones. Our task today is to collect the potatoes in this mu of land.”
"Village Chief, you mean that this thing called potatoes can actually produce more than 150 stones per mu?”Li Si stared at the lump of dirt in Jian Heng's hand, dumbfounded.
Li Si had never heard of a grain yield of 150 dans per mu. He did not even dare to think about it. Was this really mortal grain?
"Seeing is believing. No matter how much I brag, it's not as good as you digging it up yourself.”
Li Si looked at Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng nodded slightly. Then, he impatiently began to dig the potatoes in the ground with his tools.
At the beginning, it took a lot of effort to dig. In order to verify the authenticity, Ying Zheng directly refused Li Si and Meng Tian's help, and began to dig on the ground alone with a tool.
"My God, just this seedling alone has dozens of potatoes.”
Ying Zheng's exclamation had attracted Li Si and Meng Tian's attention. When they saw the string of potatoes in Ying Zheng's hands, the shock in their hearts could not be any greater.
"Perhaps His Majesty just happened to dig up a good one. Let's dig it up and give it a try.”
Meng Tian said in disbelief.
Li Si nodded in agreement.
The two of them hit it off and quickly began to dig.
When they found that the potatoes they dug out were almost the same as the ones Ying Zheng dug out, the three of them were completely bewitched.
The three people who didn't believe in evil didn't just dig potatoes everywhere tiredly. They laughed wildly for a while after they didn't dig out a bunch of potatoes. When they heard Jian Heng, their hair stood on end.
The more they dug, the more skilled they became, and they could gradually catch up with Jian Heng's speed.
Seeing the three people gradually getting used to it, Jian Heng shook his head slightly. This speed wasn't good. As expected, these three people were pampered from birth. They really couldn't do a single job.
In the evening, Jian Heng alone had finished harvesting half an acre of potatoes, while Ying Zheng and the other two were barely finishing their work.
Ignoring their exhausted bodies, Ying Zheng and the other two began to carefully count the potatoes that had piled up into a mountain. Jian Heng didn't stop them. He sat on a rocking chair by the roadside and looked at them.
With someone helping to count, he was also happy and free.
"Your Majesty... Master... Although there might be some discrepancy, there were at least 170 stones of potatoes, which was 20 stones more than expected.”
Due to his excitement, Li Si's voice trembled slightly. If this thing could be promoted, then there would be no one in the empire who would go hungry a year later.
"Damn it, this is really a divine item from the sky. Could it be that this Peach Blossom Land really comes from the immortal village in the sky? This Jian Heng is an immortal from the heavens?" Meng Tian, who had always hated ghosts and gods, could not help but start to suspect.
He had been forced to retreat due to insufficient food at least a dozen times in the war. If he really took this thing out, he could even try to wipe out the Xiongnu.
Meanwhile, Ying Zheng was also looking at the " Potato Mountain " in front of him with lifeless eyes. For the first time, he began to wonder if this place was really the legendary fairyland.
"Alright, you've worked hard today. Come back with me. I'll treat you to mutton hotpot tonight.”
Seeing the three panting, Jian Heng also knew that it was indeed a little difficult for them to do this.
"Mutton hotpot? What's that?"
"Just eat it. I guarantee it'll be delicious."
