Chapter 51

When Yang Zheng saw Li Shimin's situation, he quickly got up and said goodbye. He was simply bringing these country bumpkins into the palace to see the world. Now that his goal has been achieved, he should not delay Li Shimin's visit to Empress Zhangsun.

After bidding farewell to the palace and leaving the Xuanwu Gate, Yang Zheng started talking to Zhang Shigui again.

"Father-in-law, is there any news from Zhilong?"

"Hey, not yet, but don't worry, all my old subordinates will accompany Zhilong this time, and nothing will go wrong! I really hope he can sweep Beimo for the Great Tang like I did back then!"

"Zhilong and the others set off ten days early, why is there no news? Are they going to drive straight in?"

"My son-in-law, the leader of the team this time is General Manager Li Ji. His march has always been elusive, and he probably waited for General Li Jing's central army to arrive at the designated position before moving!"

"I also know how powerful General Manager Li Ji is. It's just that the weather in the north is changing rapidly. We can't deal with the Turks this year. What we have to do now is to seize a few key places, and we will launch operations next year. I I feel uneasy in my heart!”

Yang Zheng was conflicted. Historical records indicated that the Tang Dynasty had won a great victory this time, but the feeling in his heart kept telling him that it was not that simple!
After chatting with Zhang Shigui for a while, he asked Zhang Shigui to send someone to Guocun another day to pick up some sweet potatoes to give to the families of his military martyrs, and then left!
Later, Yang Zheng took the villagers to the Guo County Rural Cooperative Vegetable Supply Department to show everyone this place that creates wealth for everyone.

"Wow, this is our vegetable specialty store!" The villagers looked at the store excitedly one by one, watching the people coming and going in the store, their hearts jumped with joy.During this period of time, each of them has hundreds of guan, and some have thousands of guan, and their goal is tens of thousands of guan. When these people come to buy vegetables, it is really sending them money!

Then Yang Zheng brought the villagers to Zuirenju, and ordered Yang Liu to cook lunch for everyone.

The villagers were stunned by the prosperity of Zuirenju. There were so many people here, if they hadn't followed Yang Zheng in, they probably wouldn't even have a seat!

After having lunch in Zui Renju, Yang Zheng asked everyone to act alone. It was rare for the villagers to go to the city, so let them do what they wanted to buy.

Yang Zheng wandered around for a while and came to a blacksmith's shop.

"Dude, can you fight anything here?" Yang Zheng asked with a smile.

"Guest officer, you have found the right one. The villain's master can make anything. May I ask what you want to make, guest officer?" The young man who was pulling the bellows by the stove hurried up to talk.

Yang Zheng took out a picture from his body, on which was a delicate bell worn by livestock.

Yang Zheng is going to give Long Da a big bell weighing ten catties and put it on, making this kid the king of dinosaurs!
"Dude, please make me a ten-jin big bell. I'll use it. This is the fixed price! After the goods are finished, send them directly to Dongshi Zuirenju!" Yang Zheng then took out a bunch of copper coins and handed them over past.

"Okay, guest officer, don't worry, the villain must have made this bell very exquisitely! It's just a bell that weighs ten catties, what kind of livestock can wear it?"

"You don't need to ask about this, just do it, I will not give less money!"

Yang Zheng walked out of the blacksmith's shop and wandered around casually for a couple more times before feeling a little lost in interest.After picking up Lola from the Vegetable Supply Department, he took her to Mingde Gate.

After leaving the Mingde gate, he rode Luo La straight to Guocun and galloped away.

Back in Guocun, it was not too late, Yang Zheng ordered everyone to start digging potatoes.Although yams do not have the sweetness of sweet potatoes, they taste much longer than sweet potatoes.Yang Zheng's heart beats when he thinks about famous potato dishes such as roast beef with potatoes, chicken stewed with potatoes, and ants climbing trees.

Moreover, the yams in Yang Zheng's family matured too quickly, which did not conform to the laws of nature at all.

After cutting off the yam stalks that already had some dead leaves, everyone began to dig. The yam stalks are of no value, and the livestock don’t eat them, so these stalks can only be used as fertilizer!

Not many potatoes were planted in this small piece of soil. There were only a few dozen of these potatoes that Yang Zheng had left in the base at that time. When Yang Zheng sown the seeds, he cut them into small pieces with eyes and arranged them in rows. space, and then took the opportunity to transplant them to Datang. After being catalyzed by the space, these potatoes came alive, and each one grew very lush!

Potatoes are very convenient to eat, sometimes all you need is a fire and a little salt and pepper. In Yunnan in the 21st century, you can often see roasted yams at roadside stalls, which taste very good.Eat yams, the eldest son!
Yang Zheng dug the first hoe with great hope. The situation was as he thought, very good.There were probably dozens of potatoes in this nest, almost half more than those normally planted, and all the seeds were taken back in one go.

The skin of this variety is smooth, and the size is relatively uniform. Each one weighs about two catties. Of course, there are also small ones. Small yams are generally reserved for the second year's seeds.Looking at the red potato skin wrapped in yellow and white potato meat, it is really lovely to see.

Hua Gu and Chang Le followed Yang Zheng, the two little girls chattered about something, then wiped off the dirt on the smooth potatoes and threw them into the basket.

The other servants also followed behind Yang and Alice. Yang was working more and more vigorously now, and the old lady looked like she was in her thirties.

Alice also likes yams very much, so she wields a hoe and goes into battle, digs twice, and then stands there, while the girl Juer on the side comes forward to help her wipe off her sweat.This girl is not here to dig yams, but to be smug!

After Yang Zheng finished digging his own section of land, he looked back and saw that Yang had dug almost half of the section of land, while Alice, the girl, had only dug half of it!

And Chang Le and Hua Gu behind him had already picked up several large baskets of yams.Yang Shiwu and Yang Shiliu were preparing to pick the yams home.

Yang Zheng picked up the hoe and started digging from the fourth lock. After a while, he was on par with Alice!

"Hey, Elder Sister Alice, hurry up, my brother is going to surpass you again!" Aunt Hua laughed heartlessly at Alice, and Alice said angrily, "Little girl, don't worry about it!" Not too small!"

Yang Zheng also found it funny looking at it. Alice has been busy with her stomach recently, and this physical work is getting worse and worse!

In the cheerful atmosphere, the potatoes were dug very quickly. Before dark, the ten locks of land were dug up. Yang Zheng looked at Alice, who was rubbing her slender waist and kept panting, so he had to go forward and hug the beauty. Go home.

Back home, looking at the yams piled up all over the ground, about 1000 catties in weight, Yang Zheng was very happy in his heart. Apart from using these yams for tasting, the rest of the yams will be used for next year's seeds, so that the entire Guo County You should be able to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes now. Do you still have to worry about everyone going hungry?

Dinner at night is naturally inseparable from yams. Changle had already brought a dozen yams home, and gave Zhang Meijiao and Liu Ying the names of several dishes, so when everyone cleaned up, they smelled roast beef with potatoes , fried potato chips and other dishes!Everyone's appetite came up at once!

The little girl Hua Gu ran the fastest, climbed onto the chair, picked up her exclusive small wooden bowl, and then picked up a small potato with chopsticks and threw it into her mouth!
Yang came over and touched Hua Gu's head and said, "Hua Gu, don't be so greedy like eating sweet potatoes last time, girl, learn to be more reserved!"

Hua Gu curled her lips disapprovingly, and continued to attack Tudou!
As everyone started eating, the praise immediately started flying!
"Wow, my lord, these potatoes are delicious!"

"My lord is a god, everything you take out is top quality!"

"Oh, this potato tastes better than sweet potatoes!"

This time Yang Zheng learned his lesson and deliberately didn't make so many potatoes, lest these guys overeat again.So all was well overnight.
