"Master!"
A servant stumbled to the front of the landlord and panted.
"The land that Liu Yi planted has risen.”
"5,000 catties per mu!"
" What did you say?!" The two landowners exclaimed at the same time.
"5,000 catties per mu?"
"Why don't you say 50,000 catties per mu!”
"That time, if we could get a hundred catties of harvest, we would laugh our heads off.”
"Master, I saw it with my own eyes." The servant said solemnly.
"If I dare to lie to Master, won't you skin me alive?”
The landlord thought about it and agreed. How could his own servant dare to lie to him?
The two landowners looked at each other and asked again,"Is it really…five thousand jin?"
"It's true!" The servant nodded vigorously.
The two landowners stood rooted to the ground, unable to speak for a long time.
They came back to their senses and ran away in a hurry with their fat stomachs.
Let's go out of the city and take a look at what it looks like to be able to produce 5,000 catties per mu.
……
Yangxin County, Bohai Prefecture.
In front of the Liu family's courtyard.
There was an endless stream of people who came to help.
The smell of sweet potatoes on the streets and the scene of a few part-time workers gorging themselves had already been spread to the streets and alleys by passers-by.
Apart from the families of the big landowners in Yangxin County, everyone else was active.
He dragged his family to the entrance of the Liu family's courtyard and waited to be selected as a helper.
The entire county was in an uproar.
Anyone who didn't know about Liu Yi's reputation of producing 5,000 catties per mu would definitely be despised from head to toe.
Three meals a day.
This famous saying was like a slang that was constantly repeated by people in the streets and alleys.
Lu Su sat at the so-called registration area at the entrance, busy.
Although he didn't have any time to rest, it was a rare opportunity for him to display his talents.
According to Liu Yi, this small desk was the place where he, the future internal affairs talent, would take off.
In the annals of history, he was comparable to Xiao He.
This speech made Lu Su hold his head high.
"Chongwen."
Lu Su jogged to the courtyard and reported to the young man who was sitting on the recliner calmly.
"The number of people who came to register far exceeded our expectations.”
"This is enough. Should we stop?”
"Recruit a little more." Liu Yi took a bite of the fresh apple that was served by the servant. The rich fragrance spread in his taste buds.
"Recruit 2,500 people and get all the harvest in one day.”
"Done in one day?" Lu Su couldn't help but click his tongue.
Just this way of thinking completely crushed him, a person from a rich family.
His biggest idea before was to recruit a few hundred people and work for ten days to dig up all the sweet potatoes.
However, he did not expect Liu Yi to ask for a day to complete it.
"Time is money." Liu Yi stood up from the recliner.
Patting Lu Su's shoulder, he said meaningfully,""Hurry up and empty the land. It's still useful.”
"Is it still useful?" Lu Su took a deep breath." It can't be…that it can be planted, right?”
"You'll know later." Liu Yi smiled.
Lu Su was speechless.
……
"Big brother, may I ask where the courtyard of the Great Philanthropist Liu is?”
On the streets of the county, there were people dragging their families into the city, wanting to help.
The four city gates had never been as busy as today.
The news of a 5,000 jin per mu and three meals a day spread like wildfire in Yangxin County.
The city gate guards were extremely busy.
"Oh my god, are these people crazy?”
……
"Just this one mu of land?"
On the hillside outside the city, two landowners asked the servants beside them.
"Yes."
The servant nodded and bowed." I saw it with my own eyes.”
"That Lu Su brought his men here. They stopped after they cleared an acre of land and pulled the cart back.”
"5,000 per mu."
The two landowners looked up into the distance.
In the past, they looked down on seedlings that had no end in sight.
But now, they couldn't understand.
This change was too fast.
"Old Li!"
A few people in embroidered clothes hurriedly ran over from afar.
His fat belly was the most eye-catching.
"Huff huff…"
The young landlord in the lead took two deep breaths." I heard that the land you rented out allowed Liu Yi to grow 5,000 catties per mu?”
"Yes." Landlord Li nodded.
"Oh my god!"
"What kind of grain can produce five thousand catties?"
"Or the lowest yield?"
The other landowners who came with him were all talking at once.
"Listen to Old Li!" The young landlord interrupted them.
"What sweet potato!" Old Li thought about it carefully." Yes, that's it.”
"Let's plant this next year too!" The landlord's eyes were burning.
"But there are no seeds!" An old landlord spread out his hands, his face full of helplessness.
"Why don't we go and talk to Liu Yi?" The young landlord suggested as he stole a glance at Old Li.
"Old Li, your words carry the most weight among us. Tell Liu Yi to give us some seeds.”
"Yes! How could he eat such a good harvest of food alone?”
"Let me try." Old Li looked at the group of passionate landowners and felt uncertain.
"But let's make it clear in advance. No matter what happens, don't blame me.”
"Of course." The landowners nodded and smiled apologetically.
The young landlord rolled his eyes and sneaked away when no one was paying attention.
As the nephew of the county magistrate, he had other connections.
And whoever got this way to make a fortune first would be able to soar to the sky next year.
I heard that those guys in the palace are selling their official positions. After planting for a year, buying him a high official position, wouldn't that bring honor to their ancestors?
