At the beginning of May of the first year of Chuping, the weather gradually became sweltering, and Guanzhong seemed to be loved by heaven again, since February, the rain was abundant, unlike in previous years, drought was a disaster.

Also because of the smooth wind and rain, Chang’an’s crops are growing gratifyingly.

However, the only thing that worries the farmers is that the unknown crops ordered to be planted in the fields are ordered by the Hongnong Royal Mansion, especially the thing called ‘potatoes’, which has vines and flowers, but it has not borne fruit, which makes the farmers fear that this unknown crop will not harvest this year.

Although the royal government announced that even if there was really no harvest, the royal government would help the people who failed to harvest, and because of this, potato cultivation could be promoted on a large scale.

Although farmers have little culture, they also know that if they want to survive, they must rely on themselves.

Especially in the hearts of ordinary farmers, King Hongnong is a sage king, and everyone does not want the king to be hit, let alone increase the burden of the royal palace due to poor agricultural harvests.

Most of the farmers are simple-minded and knowledgeable.

King Hongnong abolished all exorbitant taxes and taxes, and the field endowment was changed back to the thirty taxes in the period of Emperor Wen, and also apportioned the amount into acres, and decided whether the field endowment of the year was according to the law or directly reduced according to the land yield.

Therefore, in the minds of most farmers, King Hongnong is like a saint in the world.

Now, it has come to the harvest season given by the royal palace, but the farmers are worried about the king of Hongnong.

However, it soon became clear that King Hongnong wanted to choose an acre of land outside Chang’an City to personally harvest potatoes and weigh them on the spot.

As soon as the farmers near Chang’an City heard the news, they rushed to tell each other, and then went to the vicinity of the acre of land chosen by King Hongnong, firstly, to see the true face of King Hongnong up close, and secondly, to see if this potato was really as miraculous as King Hongnong said.

As for the potatoes they planted, the farmers did not dare to dig them without permission, not for fear of reproach from the government, but for fear that the harvest time would be wrong and the potatoes would grow.

As the news spread more and more, when Qin Bin’s family brought the high-level of the royal palace and thousands of Xuanjia cavalry to the selected acre of land, there were already crowds all around, whether it was farmers or merchants and craftsmen, and even some of the remaining clans in Chang’an came to watch.

Perhaps a small number of people have the mentality of watching the excitement, or even the mentality of embarrassing the Hongnong King, but most farmers are looking forward to it, and they are also a little worried.

Qin Bin and the others glanced at the onlookers, densely packed, at least sixty or seventy thousand people, standing all over the mountains.

In this regard, Shangshu Huangfu Song of the military department rode to the frame of King Hongnong, leaned over to the window and said, “The safety of the king is very important, and the old minister will mobilize the defenders of Chang’an…”

Qin Bin in the carriage shook his head and interrupted, and said confidently, “When the Japanese king can take the first rank of Fan Chu from it, and his face does not change color, today he only faces tens of thousands of people who come spontaneously, what is this king afraid of.

Besides, the heart of the people is long, and the king’s kindness to the people will be seen in the eyes and remembered in their hearts, and the people will not want to harm me, and the king will believe in them. ”

Qin Bin said so, and Huangfu Song didn’t have much to say, so he had to order the Xuanjia cavalry to be highly vigilant, while Huangfu Song and all the courtiers held the handle of the sword, looking in all directions, just in case.

Soon the frame came to the acre of land, and when Qin Bin took Tang Ji and Princess Wannian to get off the car, there were shouts of the mountains around him.

“Long live the king!!!!”

I don’t know if it is influenced by the daily speech and deeds habits of the characters manifested in the system, which has led to the fact that the title of Qin Bin in the entire Guanzhong has now become a more retro ‘Junshang’.

For the issue of titles, Qin Bin, like the previous sons of heaven of the Han Dynasty, did not attach great importance to it at other times except for sacrificial occasions.

And the scene of tens of thousands of people throwing their hands together and shouting ‘Long live’ together is also very spectacular.

Fortunately, this is the Han Dynasty, under normal circumstances, there will not be a phenomenon of a certain dynasty kneeling down at every turn, plus Qin Bin has already made it public, and even stressed that except for sacrifices and some special occasions, it is not allowed to kneel and worship, and it is more emphasized that the people of the Great Han only kneel to the parents of heaven and earth, and must not despise themselves.

He patted Wan Nian’s little head that was frightened and hid behind him, signaling that Wan Nian did not need to be afraid, then took a deep breath and shouted loudly, “Gentlemen are exempt!” ”

Qin Bin’s voice was so loud that it was almost deafening, so that most of the people who had quieted down could hear it.

Then Qin Bin shouted again, “Today, King Ben brought his family and personally harvested new grain for demonstration. Lords can watch carefully, and if they do not understand, they can go to the royal palace afterwards to announce many important points about the harvesting, storage, consumption, and taboos of new grain. ”

Shouting, Qin Bin also asked the accompanying Xuanjia army to take agricultural tools, rolled up his sleeves, and went down to the field with Tang Ji and Wan Nian to start harvesting potatoes.

As soon as Huangfu Song and the other bigwigs saw Qin Bin personally going down to the field, it was not good to stand on the field base and watch, so they went down to the field together.

Even Ma Teng, Cheng Gongying and other newcomers to the royal mansion hurriedly came over to help.

Although most of these ministers and generals did not know about farming, Qin Bin understood, so he taught these ministers and generals while digging potatoes.

Before Qin Bin crossed over, he also helped with farm work in the countryside and also collected potatoes, so the farm work was also done.

Soon, when Qin Bin and a group of ministers and generals carried a large basket of potatoes to the field foundation, the surrounding people shouted one after another, “Long live the king”

After the grain official weighed with a large pole, Qin Shubao, who had a relatively loud voice, also took care of the report, “The first basket!” Heavy! One hundred and seventy pounds!! ”

Hearing Qin Shubao’s report, and seeing that this was only obtained in a very small area of that acre of land, the people watching from afar finally believed in the high yield of this new grain.

Then he shouted again, “Long live Junshang!!” ”

Since then, every time a large basket of potatoes was carried from the field, after the scale, Qin Shubao shouted to report the number, and the people shouted long live the king, and the enthusiasm of the people every time they shouted was higher than the last time, and even after Qin Bin and others harvested all the acres of land, and reported that there were more than 400 stones of potatoes harvested in one acre of land, the people’s cries were even more overwhelming, even exhausted.

Even many elderly farmers wept with joy and bowed to Qin Bin. When the other farmers saw it, they quickly thanked them, and even those small clans and merchants bowed down.

Such a scene, Qin Bin’s blood boiled when he saw it, but his mood was complicated.

Lu Zhi on the side had tears in the corners of his eyes, and kept whispering, “The people’s hearts are available, the people’s hearts are available…”

And Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Pound, Cheng Gongying and others, who have always been marginal people, all looked at each other, and a thought popped up in their hearts.

The Hongnong King has become a great trend, which is enough to shake the world. In the future, it is better to be loyal to the king of agriculture, or after cleaning up the mountains and rivers, he will win the title of marquis and baijue, so as to protect future generations.

Qin Bin sighed, “The people are simple, Zhi’en Tu News, although there is no longer a shortage of food in Guanzhong now, but the problems of heating and heating, housing, and travel have not yet been solved, I still need to encourage myself to serve the people.” ”

“Only the Order of the Lord!!”

“Let the people go to the good life to appease the people, let the people return to their homes, and prepare for the summer harvest. If the people do not harvest in time, the garrison needs to be obligated to help. ”

“Wait for orders!!”

Saying that, Qin Bin took the dirty Tang Ji and Wannian to get on the frame and go back to the palace…
