Chapter 2294: Swarming
After Chi Shiyi felt relieved, he added: "Congratulations, Lord Xu, for such a great thing happening in the guard station under your command. You have made a great contribution!"
Although he is only the grandson of a county lord, he can still speak politely when meeting important people.
After hearing this, Xu You tried his best to pretend to be happy and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for Chu to receive new food from heaven, and it is a blessing for Your Majesty. I dare not take the credit. It is all your Majesty's credit."
He looked like a loyal minister and good general, which made Chi Shiyi sigh with emotion... His father also said that Xu You was not a good person and had rebellious intentions, and asked him not to offend Xu You when he came to the northwest. But look at Mr. Xu, how much he treats His Majesty. Respectfully.
If Sheng Rui were here, he would definitely call him a fool!
"Master Xu, where is the cassava? Please take me to see it. I want to dig some back." Chi Shiyi couldn't wait and wanted to see the new food.
Jiang Wankang frowned: "You want to dig cassava?"
Chi Shishi nodded: "Yes, I heard that cassava grows in the ground. To show my respect for the new food, I naturally have to dig a batch of cassava myself and take it away. People in Mu County are still waiting for the new food to worship. Where is heaven and earth?
Xu You smiled. It's extremely cold now. If you dig cassava at this time, are you mentally ill?
However, Xu You wanted to rectify Chi Shiyi and did not let Jiang Wankang tell him the truth. He only said to Qin Sanlang: "Take Mr. Chi to the mountains to dig cassava."
"Yes." Qin Sanlang said, "Master Chi, please, I will take you up the mountain."
"Okay, let's go!" Chi Shiyi was very excited. He led people up the mountain with Qin Sanlang to dig cassava. But before he climbed the mountain, he was so tired that he almost turned around and left. He asked, "Qin Qianhu, how long will it take?" Just arrived?"
"Almost." Qin Sanlang continued to lead them. After wading through a muddy mountain road, they finally came to the mountain and pointed to a pitted tunnel: "The cassava is underground, and those dead tree stems above are cassava plants."
"Is this new grain?" Chi Shiyi was a little confused, panting, and after resting for a moment, he said: "Dig, dig it out quickly and see the yield per acre."
"Yes." The servants brought by Chi Shiyi, including Zhang Er and others, began to dig cassava according to Qin Sanlang's instructions.
But it was too cold to dig out the cassava. Finally, we used a big drill to loosen the soil and then dig out the cassava.
The moment Chi Shiyi saw the cassava, he almost cried: "Anyway, it's finally dug out."
Its not easy.
He said in disgust: "Hey, it's so dirty. But it's very big. This one can grow so many, it's amazing."
Zhang Er almost died laughing when he saw this, so he took the opportunity to flatter him and received a reward of ten taels of silver.
Well, to be honest, its a bit less.
But Chi Shiyi was a concubine and was not favored. The family did not give him much money, so he could not be as generous as Sheng Rui. Even giving him 10 taels of silver was painful.
Chi Shiyi said again: "Qin Qianhu, hurry up and arrange for the carriage to be loaded with cassava. I want to take a batch of cassava away!"
Qin Sanlang refused: "Master Chi, the Marquis is in the guardhouse. If you want cassava, you must ask him first."
Chi Shiyi thought there was nothing wrong with this and said, "Let's go see Mr. Xu!"
Qin Sanlang took him to the male guest's house again.
After hearing what Chi Shiyi said, Xu You shook his head and said: "At most, I can only give you one cassava plant and take it back to Mu County for worship... I have already written a good news and sent it to the capital and the capital. None of these new grains can be used." We need to wait for Mr. Qi and Mr. Xin from Fucheng to come to Liangwei to weigh the cassava before handling it."
Chi Shiyi exclaimed: "What, you gave away the good news?!"
Xu You nodded: "Well, when you went up the mountain to dig cassava, I had already written a good news and sent it to the capital. Why, what's wrong?"
Well, Chi Shiyi couldn't say anything to refute, he just wanted to cry, his credit was just gone!
Mr. Qianshan said: "There is no such thing as too much joy. Mr. Chi can also write a good news and send it to the capital."
Chi Shiyi could only hold back his tears.
He asked again: "Master Marquis, I want to stay in Changliangwei for a while and wait for the new grain matter to be settled before leaving. Is it possible?"
Xu You agreed: "Okay."
Chi Shiyi settled in this way, but Xu You wanted to stay here tonight and did not want to give the male guest's house to Chi Shiyi, so he asked Chi Shiyi to live outside the guard house on the grounds of military regulations.
Qin Sanlang placed Chi Shiyi in a row of houses outside the gate of the guardhouse.
There was a lot to do in the guard office today, and Xu You stayed overnight. Qin Sanlang did not dare to be careless, and did not return to the main house until Xu You was busy.
Seeing that he had returned safely, Gu Jinli breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to hug him: "It's good to be back."
Qin Sanlang hugged her warm body, feeling happy in his heart, and said guiltily: "I have made Xiaoyu worry, don't be afraid, General Jiang is here, he will protect us, and Xu You will not wait Its been too long, I guess Ill leave tomorrow afternoon.
