After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 241 Harvesting Potatoes

These words immediately caused an uproar.

No one dared to voice any doubts, because after the steward finished speaking, the eyes of the soldiers standing next to him became sharp, and even the swords at their waists were positioned as if they were about to be drawn at any moment. Now no one dared to question him.

“I urge you all to hurry home and bring your children here to register their household registration.”

As soon as those last words were spoken, the group of people rushed home.

Before long, the entrance to the private school was filled with people again, each holding a child's hand. In this way, all the children were registered at the private school.

Not long after, he enrolled in the private school.

After the children at the border began their studies, Ye Yuwu had some free time.

With some free time, Ye Yuwu discussed with the Minister of Agriculture about finding another house to live in outside the mansion.

After all, it's not good for them to keep living in the general's mansion.

Su Wangyan heard the news from somewhere and rushed to find Ye Yuwu.

Ye Yuwu was about to leave the mansion when he stopped her.

"I heard you're looking for another house?"

Ye Yuwu nodded with a smile and said, "We must not trouble General Su."

Su Wangyan was getting a little anxious. He cleared his throat and tried to find an excuse, "How could I be bothering you? You and the Minister of Agriculture have come here to help the people a lot... It's not easy to find a suitable house now, and..." He paused.

"The border is not peaceful these days. It will be safer for you to stay in the general's mansion. After all, you were sent down by the imperial court. I will have people protect your safety."

Su Wangyan's last two sentences were actually for his own ears. At this moment, he was somewhat annoyed with himself for his excessive concern for Ye Yuwu, but what he said was not untrue. The border had been quiet for so long, as if a great storm was brewing, and he had to be on guard.

Seeing his solemn expression, Ye Yuwu knew that this matter was of great importance, so she nodded and dropped the idea of ​​finding a house to live in elsewhere.

Su Wangyan also breathed a silent sigh of relief.

September arrived quickly, and the potatoes were ready for harvest. On this day, Ye Yuwu and the Minister of Agriculture rushed to the fields before dawn.

By the time they reached the farmland to the south, it was already dawn.

The farmers, carrying baskets and hoes on their backs, rolled up their sleeves as soon as they got to the fields.

Not to mention the Minister of Agriculture, the farmers were extremely nervous.

After all, none of them had ever grown potatoes before, and they didn't know how well the potatoes were growing and how the harvest was after they had taken such good care of them for so long.

Amid the farmers' tension, they began to wield their hoes.

With one shovel stroke, the potatoes were pulled out, and the farmer was delighted to find them unearthed from the mud.

"Wow! So big! So many potatoes!"

As a farmer's joyful voice rang out, several neighboring farmers turned their attention to him. They saw that the farmer who had just exclaimed was holding a stalk, and beneath the stalk were round, large potatoes, all covered with a mixture of dry and damp soil.

The other farmers were overjoyed at the sight and stopped looking at the man, instead swinging their hoes.

Before long, they also dug up a lot of potatoes in their own fields.

"My goodness! There are so many fruits! The yield is enormous!"

Soon the news spread to all the villages. People who were still at home and hadn't gone to work in the fields also heard about it. This was mainly because the village children loved to make a fuss, and before long, the whole village knew about it.

Farmers who were originally staying at home hurriedly gathered their farm tools and carried them to their fields.

They saw these farmers piling up the potatoes they had dug up on the ridges of their fields as they passed by other farms.

The yield left them stunned, so they rushed to their own fields to start working, even more anxiously.

The whole family, except for those who went to school, were almost all digging potatoes in the fields.

Not only did the few villages in the south learn about this, but within a day, all the farming villages along the border knew about it!

With a large potato yield, Ye Yuwu, Huaping, and the Minister of Agriculture all went to the fields to help. Even Su Wangyan, knowing about this, sent soldiers from the military camp to help the farmers harvest their grain.

Su Wangyan was not idle either. He rolled up his trousers and sleeves and went down to the ground with the soldiers.

After a busy day, as dusk fell, everyone was exhausted.

Ye Yuwu's back was almost broken. If she weren't concerned about her image, she would have collapsed in the field like the Minister of Agriculture.

Even so, she was exhausted and sat on the edge of the field, rubbing her lower back with her hands.

At this moment, Su Wangyan walked towards her. Ye Yuwu saw that he was not tired at all, and there was not even a trace of sweat on his face. She couldn't help but sigh that soldiers have good physical strength.

Seemingly sensing Ye Yuwu's envious gaze, he suppressed his smile and pursed his lips. "Back then, when the Turks invaded from the border, it was harvest time, and the farmers didn't have time to harvest their grain. So the soldiers had to fight the Turks while helping the farmers harvest their grain. In the chaos of war, we didn't have time to close our eyes all day. It was much more tiring than this. Perhaps it is because of this experience that we are so good at doing these farm chores today."

Although Su Wangyan said this with a smile, Ye Yuwu could sense the crisis and difficulties at the time from his words.

"How much I miss you all, so that the people on the border... no... the people of Jin Kingdom can be spared from war."

"Isn't it the duty of every soldier to defend our country?"

Perhaps it was because of today's conversation that Su Wangyan felt they had grown closer and were no longer as distant as before.

After a day of farm work, Ye Yuwu and the others were about to leave, but the villagers insisted that they stay for a meal.

"My lords, I must thank you today! No one expected that such a small plot of land could produce so much grain! This is something we never even imagined! Some farmers were rude to you before and even questioned you. Well, I apologize to you here."

"Don't say that to the village chief. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

"Yes! Yes! Let's celebrate today! Gentlemen, you must stay for a meal before you leave!"

"Alright, today's potato harvest is plentiful, let's have a potato feast!"

The group stayed in Fashan Village.

Because of Fashan Village's unilateral decision, several neighboring villages were dissatisfied.

They gritted their teeth in anger, hating themselves for being too slow; several adults had actually been abducted by Fashan Village!

They gritted their teeth, filled with regret, but there was nothing they could do.

Several large pots were quickly set up at the entrance of Fashan Village.

Even the stoves at the village entrance were temporary structures.

The cooks were all villagers who usually prepared banquets, and their cooking skills were quite good.

But they were stumped by these potatoes they had never seen before.
