The village is quite large and wealthy. When the village heard that the county magistrate came, he asked his family to prepare a banquet and invited Luo Yong to drink and talk in his own hall.

"A mere trivial matter, County Magistrate Luo does not need so much politeness." Ming Weng hurriedly replied.

After drinking a cup of turbid wine, Luo Yong asked Mingweng why he was suspicious of the thieves at that time.

Ming Weng wiped the wine stains on his beard on his mouth and said with a smile: "It's a human or a ghost. If you see it for too many times, you will know the difference."

People like Ming Weng have been doing business for most of their lives and have never seen any ghosts and monsters, so their vision is naturally more savvy than ordinary people.

Speaking of which, it is really not easy to conduct business in this era. Not to mention fair competition, many times, even personal safety is not guaranteed.

During the meal, Luo Yong told Ming Weng and others that if they encounter any difficulties in Changle County in the future, they can come to find themselves.

Ming Weng was very happy to get this, even happier than Luo using the money and silk gifts he had given him before.

The meal was so happy that the guests and guests had almost finished their meal. Luo Yong saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and said goodbye. They were about to return to the county town before dark.

Mingweng and Li Zheng and his party took them all the way outside the village and watched them leave until they could not see the figure clearly, and then slowly returned to the village.

It was about two or three o'clock in the afternoon. In the white flower fields on both sides of the village road, the villagers were busy harvesting white flower.

Mingweng's family and disciples set up a stall to buy white flower in an open space on the side of the road. From time to time, people pushed cars and carried loads to sell white flower. The money was calculated, and sometimes there were a few arguments.

"This year, every household in your village can earn a lot of money. After this reward, the thief will not dare to invade. People in this land can live a comfortable and rich life."

Ming Weng stopped by the side of the road, looked at the scene of purchasing Bai Dihua not far away, and said to Li Zheng and others around him.

When Li Zheng and others heard this, they felt a lot of emotion. Their village is a big village with a lot of people and land. However, the land is poor. From the previous year to the end, they have worked hard and can't dig out much food. They have to pay taxes and support their families, and are afraid of corrupt officials and thieves. Life is very difficult.

"I'm afraid this comfortable life will be reduced every day." Li Zheng sighed.

"Na Luo County Magistrate is going to be transferred." Ming Weng hurriedly asked. They were planning to come here again next year to collect white flowers. If the Luo County Magistrate is not here, he will not know what the situation will be in Changle County next year.

"I haven't heard of it for a while, I'm just so worried." Li waved his hand.

"There is no need to worry too much." Ming Weng said, "You haven't seen Lishi County, although it has been away from Luo Sanlang for many years, is still rich and prosperous now, even more than that in the past."

"I hope this is the case." Lishi County is more land-based than Chang Le after all.

"I heard that there are many workshops in your county, and now there are white flowers again. Every year there are all kinds of white flowers. I should always have some income. No matter what, my life will never be worse than before." Ming Weng continued to comfort him.

Having said that, many farmers in Jiuquan have planted white flower flowers this year. So what is the result? As a local merchant in Jiuquan, their Ming family cannot buy white flower flowers in the local area. Instead, they have to travel thousands of miles to Changle County to purchase them.

In this case, when the farmers on their side sell white buns, the price can only be decided by the buyer. The high price is the lowest, and the buyer is determined by the buyer's conscience.

After a while, after these white flowers were turned over and flowed to the market, the price became very high. So the scholars who were not divided into grains said that the price difference was earned by merchants. As a merchant, Ming Weng and others were really wronged.

When the sky gradually darkened, the villagers went home hand-made. After collecting the last batch of white flowers today, the Bai family returned to a yard they rented in the village to rest.

This yard was rented by them and Li Zheng. It was the old courtyard of the Li Zheng family. The yard was quite large and the house was still neat. There were a lot of firewood and weeds in the yard. Now some of them are still piled up in the yard, and some have been moved to the Li Zheng family's new courtyard. When they are about to leave, they have to help them move the things back.

It is difficult to stay away from home, especially small businesses like them who are surplus, who have to be frugal everywhere. If you can earn some of this business this time, you can get some money and money after you go back, and you will be able to live a better life this winter.

Ming Weng and his friends were calculating the white flowers they collected today and the money and money expenses this time.

Because Luo used the money and silk that he sent today, they could collect more white stacks of flowers this time, so everyone was very happy.

In addition to money and silk, Luo Yong also gave them some liquor, bacon, canned marinade and other products. They were all produced by the county's official workshops and they did not need to spend money to buy them. The county magistrate Luo was happy to deliver and brought a lot of them.

It is autumn now, and the weather is getting colder and the appetite is getting better. It is the time to eat meat to gain weight in autumn. In the autumn, the meat in the place is expensive. It is necessary to wait until the goats grow cashmere after the beginning of winter, and the price of mutton will not be reduced. The Ming family members have been very hungry for meat recently. The bacon and canned meat used by Luo came at the right time.

That night they opened a can of canned mutton, poured about half a can, and stewed a large pot of vegetables with some vegetables exchanged from the villagers, and ate it enthusiastically with mixed noodles, cakes, corn porridge.

When a child from the village came over to smell the smell, Ming Weng asked his family to serve them. Merchants like them were still a little easier than ordinary farmers, so they were not very stingy.

The next morning, the Ming family got up to make breakfast, and the villagers brought some of their own vegetables and vegetables to them, put down the things and said a few words, and hurried down the fields. Although the white buns are expensive, picking is really not easy. Recently, every household is very busy, and even the half-old child has to go to the fields to work.

In Changle County, Luo Yong also got up early this day.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the backyard of the county government. Today is the day to collect sweet potatoes, which was decided early in the morning.

Originally, Luo Yong said that he could take it as soon as possible, but many people said that he was so careless and insisted on asking a Taoist priest to see the day and choose the time, so he finally chose today.

Luo Yong saw that it was appropriate to collect sweet potatoes on this day, so he agreed.

At this time, everyone came to the sweet potato field in the backyard of the county government. They first cut off the sweet potato vines with a sickle, rolled the sweet potato vines covered with the ground, packed them in a basket, and moved them to the open space in the yard.

The remaining sweet potato field is covered with bare ground, and sometimes a few weeds can be seen. A nest of sweet potatoes grow in the ridges. You can see the stubble left after cutting the sweet potato vines.

The first person to put the hoe down was Luo Yong. He went down the hoe, dug and pried, and the red-skinned sweet potatoes rolled out of the ridges. The big ones were about the size of a gourd, and the small ones were only as big as a fist.

As soon as the first sweet potatoes were dug out, the people watching the fun in the corridor were not calm. When they were talking, their voices could not be suppressed, and they all started to yell.

This nest of sweet potatoes is so big that it is enough for a family of five or six to have a full meal.

When these sweet potatoes were just planted, they all saw them, but they were just a three-inch-long sweet potato vine that was inserted into the ground. Now they have grown into such a big nest!

“…”

"And there are more, this nest!"

"Look! The largest one is almost as big as a clay pot!"

"It's amazing! Just use a branch to penetrate it, and in three or four months, it will grow so much!"

"Is this nest twenty kilograms?"

"The new grain brought by the Kunlun people is really amazing!"

"Look at it, I put another basket!"

"It can be loaded in just a few nests."

"Hey, be careful, don't break the sweet potatoes in the soil."

"Oh! It's broken and it's broken!"

“…”

In those difficult times more than a thousand years later, many people ate sweet potatoes and wanted to vomit because they had a large population and sparse food. Only this sweet potato was the most easy to get, so they had to eat meals. They only had to eat sour water in their stomachs, without oil and water supplements, and without the nourishment of rice, flour and food. It was really painful.
