    At the beginning of the day, the three elders of the county government, together with the local village chief, Bao chief, Jia chief, and the local Juren master, arrived at the field of Tianjia.

    Old man Tian¡¯s two sons carried a large scale and a pan scale, while four helpers carried more than a dozen large baskets.

    At this moment, Jia Yun became the object of everyone's respect, while Jia Lian and Little Leopard accompanied him as Jia Yun's followers.

    According to Jia Lian¡¯s wishes, the land was first measured and a drainage ditch was dug in two parts according to drainage considerations during farming.  After measuring, it was two cents and one centimeter.

    Then, Old Man Tian took his two sons to dig, while his wife took her two daughters-in-law to pack them in baskets.

    The first one contained ten sweet potatoes, big and small, and the largest one weighed more than a kilogram.  One plant yields four pounds and six ounces of sweet potatoes.

    Jia Lian suddenly had a smile on his face.

    Jia Lian personally watched the weighing and dug a total of eight baskets. After weighing, the total weight was 635 kilograms.  The yield per mu is 302 kilograms.

    Jia Lian was so happy that he silently pointed to the sweet potato field next to him: "Dig another ridge."

    The village chief and Baochang personally measured the second ridge of land, this time it was one minute and nine centimeters.

    As a result, this time I harvested 581 kilograms.  The yield per mu is more than 305.

    Jia Lianyin asked the local chief: "As far as you know, how many of your families' harvests will exceed that of Tian's family, or be the same as Tian's?"

    Jia Chang said: "About two families have slightly better harvests than the Tian family. Their families have been farming for generations. There are three more families who are similar to the Tian family. Their fields are good fields, and the remaining four families are medium fields."

    Jia Lian immediately said: "Take us to see it."

    ¡°The family that Chief A said is better than the Tian family is named Kong, and they are two brothers.

    Jia Lian randomly pointed to a piece of land to measure and dig, and found that he harvested 970 kilograms from three thirds of the land.  I dug another piece next to it, two parts of the land, weighing one hundred and fifty kilograms.  Slightly higher than the Tian family, the yield per mu is about 320 kilograms.

    Chief Jia found a family named Peng, whose family was Zhongtian, and he harvested 630 kilograms in three parts.

    Then, we excavated the sandy soil and harvested 400 kilograms from three thirds of the land.

    Jia Lian¡¯s face suddenly turned into a smile.  Jia Yun also quickly recorded the data.

    The final result was that Jia Yun led the three families of Tian Kong and Peng to go to the county government to hold a commendation and exchange meeting with the sweet potatoes dug from their respective fields.

    Jia Yun summoned the Libaojia chiefs of the eleven villages and towns under Shuntai County to the county government office for a sweet potato planting feast.

    On the same day, Jia Lian sent messengers to Wenzhou Prefecture officials, large and small, to go to Shuntai County at noon to celebrate the harvest of sweet potatoes.  At the same time, Jia Lian invited Prince Teng and the chief envoy from the nine provinces to attend the harvest banquet.

    That night, Jia Lian ordered Xiao Baozi to secretly bring the Tian family's youngest daughter-in-law's natal family, a family of seven, into Shuntai County.

    Early the next morning, Du Peiwen, the prefect of Wenzhou Prefecture, arrived.

    This boy now knows that he is not implicated by the Wang family and the Qin family, but is Jia Lian's master. This time he came to see him with full sincerity and gave Jia Lian a copy of "Quick Snow and Clear Tie" said to be the original work of Wang Xizhi.

    Jia Lian concluded that although this copybook was not the original work of Youjun, it was copied by a famous artist in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and was of great value.  Yin declined: "It's a good thing, but it's nothing but no reward. Jingzhi can take it back."

    Du Peiwen immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Although I don't say thank you for my great kindness, I will always remember the governor's life-saving grace and don't dare to forget it. From now on, whenever Mr. Futai has errands, I will live or die without hesitation!"

    Jia Lian raised his hand: "Jingzhi, please get up. I am a minister in the same palace as your uncle. He has helped me a lot in the past. It is my duty to take care of you. Don't talk about repaying or not repaying. From now on, we will work together to make the emperor a better man."  Just get the errands done.¡±

    Du Peiwen burst into tears of gratitude and thanked him again and again after standing up.

    Jia Lian then took the opportunity to say: "Jingzhi must know that the emperor summoned the governor before he left the capital and told him three things. The first priority was to solve the livelihood problems of the people in Fujian and Zhejiang. Now it can be said that we have accomplished a great job. Then there are the reopening of the city, the Fangsi and  Implementing the New Deal is a one-step method. Now that the Municipal Boat Division is on the right track, and the people's food and clothing are basically satisfied, the remaining problem is to measure the land and implement the New Deal. I don't know what Jingzhi thinks?"

    Du Peiwen was busy expressing his loyalty: "Don't worry, Mr. Futai, I will arrange the arrangements when I get back, and we will start immediately after the autumn harvest."

    Jia Lian was overjoyed when he heard this and slapped Du Peiwen: "Okay, as long as the New Deal is implemented smoothly, your contribution will be indispensable."

    At the beginning of noon, the officials of Wenzhou Prefecture gathered together.

    Today, three more rose chairs were placed in the lobby of Shuntai County.  Sitting in the hall were Jia Lian and Prince Teng.Teng smiled: "Master Yu, are you too impatient? I haven't started the case yet, how do you know that you will lose? Is there something wrong with you?"

    Yu Huali suddenly became angry: "I have a clear conscience, how could there be a ghost?"

    Jia Lian said at this time: "Since you are not ashamed, then sit down."

    Wang Ziteng slapped the alarm again: "Tian Shangzhi, I want to ask you, did you know that you were falsely accused and you were dismissed?"

    Tian Shangzhi replied: "I know, ordinary people have ironclad evidence in hand and are not afraid to rebel!"

    Prince Teng said: "If you have any evidence, report it in court!"

    Tian Shangzhi said: "Xiao Min's evidence is the Wang family, the side wife of Yu Ze's family, and her five-year-old grandson!"

    Yu Huali then panicked: "You're talking nonsense, my Mrs. Ru's surname is Lu!"

    Prince Teng nodded: "Yes, his wife's surname is Lu, and everyone knows it? How can you say her surname is Wang?"

    Tian Shangzhi sneered: "The daughter of the Wang family went abroad, and she was called Louise. In fact, her surname was Wang, and she was the concubine daughter of the Wang family who died of a sudden illness twenty-five years ago. I also know that this wife of the side wife died in May.  When Mr. Jian wanted to capture the remnants of the Wang family, he paid for his life and replaced the five-year-old grandson of the Wang family with the child he bought. Now this son is being raised in the lap of the Wang family. All you have to do is send troops to capture the Wang family.  Just ask and you¡¯ll know the clues!¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
