"Really" All the villagers in Taoyuan Village looked in disbelief.
In their view, the government would only impose taxes and corvee labor.
As for distributing seeds to the people, they never cared much about it.
The county official was a little anxious when he saw that the villagers didn't believe him.
"Why don't you believe me?
Who am I?
I represent the government.
I took the order from the county magistrate, and the county magistrate also took the order from the governor.
As for the governor, I have already said something before, then This is your Majesty’s personal decree.
Let’s see how I can lie.”
Seeing that everyone was still doubtful, he swallowed his mouth and said, "Let's put it this way, the court must have worked hard to promote this potato.
Let's talk about it, what are we most afraid of?"
"famine" "War" Gradually, someone spoke sporadically.
"right" The county official's eyes lit up and he said in a loud voice: "These villagers are right.
What everyone is most afraid of is war and famine.
In the final analysis, it is because there is no food.
Why is there war?
It's not everyone.
I can't live anymore, so I just put my head in my belt and follow the rebellion.
Have you ever thought that the imperial court would be happy to see this situation?"
"Of course not."
Everyone said in unison.
"That's it.
The imperial court doesn't want to see this situation, so it naturally has to work hard to keep everyone fed.
But whether it is wheat or rice, the output is certain, and there is no ability to resist drought and locust plagues.
If the court wants everyone to have enough to eat, they have to find another way."
The county official swallowed his mouth and continued: "At that time, Emperor Shengming discovered that potatoes are cold and drought-resistant and easy to grow.
After promoting them in Shandong, they found that their yields were extremely impressive.
In this case, Emperor Sheng certainly hopes to promote potatoes to Sichuan Sichuan has just experienced several plunders by thieves and Tatars, and people's livelihood has been extremely depressed.
If we want to quickly restore people's livelihood and resume production, we must now understand why the court is doing its best to promote potatoes. " An old man nodded and said: "The Sa family understands what the servant said.
But if we agree to grow potatoes, can we really be exempted from taxes for three years?"
The county official nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course, of course, I have said before that as long as you promise to grow potatoes, you will be exempted from taxes for three years."
He patted his chest and promised: "If you encounter a government official who comes to you to collect taxes in the future, just come to me and I will make the decision for you."
The reason why he dared to praise Haikou like this was naturally because he knew it well.
Promoting potatoes was the first political thing Governor Wen started to implement after he settled in Chengdu.
The so-called three things to do when a new official takes office, this first thing must be a little brighter.
Governor Wen can't deny what he just said and slap himself in the face.
Besides, even if Governor Wen is willing to do such a thing, today's emperor will definitely not be willing to do it.
Jun Wu said, there is no reason to immediately withdraw an order without counting it.
Therefore, there is no problem with his promise to the villagers of Taoyuan Village.
This decree exempting taxes for three years will definitely be well implemented and implemented.
Unless the Tatars come over again and occupy Chengdu.
That was a matter on another level, and there was no need for him to worry about it.
What he has to do is to make all the people believe what the court says, and this alone is enough.
"Since Mr.

Chai has said it to this extent, I can't stand it if I don't agree to it anymore.
I'm willing to plant these potatoes."
The old man patted his chest and responded.
With the first person, there will be a second person, and the villagers of Taoyuan Village expressed their willingness to grow potatoes one after another.
The county official was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear when he saw this.
OK, OK.
That's good He is indeed gifted with a sharp tongue, and he can really enlighten a group of stubborn old farmers and change their fixed thinking.
"Don't worry, everyone, I'll take out a pen and paper, and everyone will register with me."
The county official carried a pen and paper with him, and he did not dare to show any slightest care at this moment.
He took it out of his bag like a magic trick, found a millstone and put it on it.
He dipped his pen in ink and asked, "Everyone, tell me your names.
I'll record it.
The government will distribute potato seeds according to everyone's names, and no one will be left behind. " "That's great.
Let's all line up and cooperate with the boss's work.
It's not easy for everyone to make ends meet.
Let's understand each other."
An old man who looked like a patriarch stood up and took the initiative to help the villagers line up.
The county official was so moved that he almost shed tears.
"Yes, everyone, line up, line up to register, it's faster."
For the county official, of course he is also completing his work, but he also wants to complete the work more beautifully so that he can be looked down upon by the county magistrate when he goes to deliver business in the future.
For those who work in the government, their immediate superiors must serve them well.
As for whether you can be promoted, it also depends on luck.
"I, Wang Daniu, am from Taoyuan Village.
I want to plant three acres of potatoes."
"My name is Liu Xiaoyao, and I am also a villager in Taoyuan Village.
I want to plant two acres of potatoes.
Please help me register."
"My name is Zhao Yuan'er, and I want to plant an acre of potatoes."
The county official was busy recording, very proud of himself, when he suddenly heard a female voice and was stunned.
Why, there are women here to sign up.
He looked up and saw a woman standing in front of him.
Judging from his appearance, this person is quite handsome.
The county official was also a flesh-and-blood mortal who could eat the fireworks of the world, so he seemed a little moved.
"Ahem, this little lady, where is your man?
Why bother to show up and sign up by yourself?"
The woman lowered her head shyly and said, "I'm going to tell you that the slave's husband died of exhaustion as a result of being raped by the Western thieves a year ago, and the slave is now a widow.
If the slave doesn't come to register, there will still be opportunities.
Who will stand up for the slave family?"
Turns out she was a widow The county official suddenly realized.
No wonder so, no wonder so.
Although chaste and martyr women would be commended by the court in peaceful times, in troubled times, commendations cannot be used as food.
If you want to survive, you must farm the land yourself.
The woman's man had also gone to the ground to help with the beatings when she was there, so there was no doubt that she would be there in person when it was really needed.
After a year of accumulation of experience, she is now considered an expert in farming.
This application for planting one acre of potatoes is still a conservative estimate.

"All the folks here can prove it for the slave family."
The woman was afraid that the county officials would not believe it, so she added immediately.
"Master, what this young lady of the Shen family said is true, we can testify for her."
The man who looked like a patriarch stood up at the right time
