114 Digging Potatoes

Old Man Jian chuckled, “Alright, Alright, Alright, then… Don’t call me Master. It sounds strange, just call me Uncle.”

Jian Dalang and Mother Jian had just arrived and were confused. Jian Dalang asked curiously, “What Master? Isn’t he the worker Qingqing invited?”

Old Man Jian slapped his hand angrily. “What worker! That’s the Lord that the Emperor sent to help our Big Sister! The Emperor sent him!”

“Ah?” Jian Dalang looked at Jiang Cheng in a daze, as if the world had turned into a fantasy. He asked in disbelief, “Is he really sent by the Emperor?”

Jian Qing nodded and said, “That’s enough, Grandfather, Father. There’s nothing strange about it. After all, we have a lot to do. Of course, the Emperor will send someone to supervise us.”

However, why did they still feel that this matter was like a dream no matter how they thought about it?

Jian Qingqing had arranged for them to dig for potatoes. Last year, they had only planted two acres of potatoes. Old Man Jian had dug less than half an acre, and the potatoes that were dug out were all piled on the ground and had not been taken back.

Jiang Cheng looked at the potatoes piled high on the ground, and his pupils constricted.

It was only half an acre, but it already looked like seven or eight hundred catties. Most of the potatoes were the size of a fist. It seemed that crown prince Ming was not exaggerating. Seeing it with his own eyes was always more shocking than hearing rumors.

With such a high yield of grain in Great Wei, how could the people worry about suffering?!

Old Man Jian looked at his shocked face, he said proudly, “There are many of them! When I dug for the first time, I was also shocked. What kind of grain would have such a high yield? I didn’t believe big sister when she said it could be eaten. I’ve never seen such a thing. I didn’t expect that not only can it be eaten, but it can also be produced in large quantities! I won’t have to worry about planting a few catties of grain for a year!”

Jiang Cheng nodded in a daze. His heart was burning with passion. He waved his arms and shouted, “Brothers! Work!”

As expected of a person who had fought in the war. She was fast and strong. Jian Qingqing took a glance and thought that they should be done digging by noon.

She did not plan to stay here and watch them work. After seeing that they had started, she went home.

When she went back, there were no more people following behind. Those Uncles and Aunties finally had a chance to ask questions.

“Qingqing, what happened to those people just now?”

Jian Qingqing smiled and replied, “They were all workers that I hired to help our family clear the land.”

The Uncles and Aunts had looks of disbelief on their faces, “Qingqing, just tell us the truth. We are all from the same village, what’s there not to say? What are they doing here? Don’t lie to us, they don’t look like workers at all.”

Jian Qingqing also knew that she couldn’t lie to them. She sighed helplessly and pointed to the sky with her finger. She said mysteriously, “They are from above. As long as you know about it, do your best.”

After saying that, everyone who looked at each other in dismay slipped away.

The villagers asked doubtfully, “Is… is that what I think it is?”

Another villager replied, “It should be. Didn’t the village chief say yesterday that the Emperor also knew about this? It could be that the Emperor sent them to supervise us.”

Once these words were said, the entire place was in an uproar.

The aunt said, “Is it really the Emperor who sent him? Then I have to perform well. Who knows, I might even be able to leave my name at the Emperor’s place.”

When the others heard this, they burst into laughter. Those who did not get along with the aunt laughed and said, “You country bumpkin, you still want to leave your name at the Emperor’s Place? You must be dreaming!”

Although everyone thought that it was a dream, who said that dreams could not come true?

No matter what they thought, they all agreed to work hard in the future and strive to impress the nobles.
