After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 178: Wasn't The one who threw the blame

After dinner, Mr Hou and Mo Qingling did not leave.

Instead, they asked Xiao Hanzheng and his wife to take them to the Taoist temple to see the corn fields.

Of course, Liang Youxiao and the others followed to join in the fun.

Seeing the corn planted in the Taoist temple's backyard, Mr Hou and Mo Qingling became excited again.

It looked like the yield was indeed not low.

Mo Qingling asked, "How many corn seeds do this mu of land need?"

Ever since he became the county magistrate, he has learned a lot about the livelihood of his people.

Shi Qingluo replied, "About five catties."

Hearing this, everyone except for Xiao Hanzheng was stunned. "What?"

Mo Qingling's breathing became heavier. "You mean that five catties of seeds can produce a thousand catties of grain?"

Shi Qingluo nodded. "That's right!"

She had cultivated these high-yielding seeds from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

If she had chemical fertilizer and modern planting tools, the yield would be even higher.

Liang Youxiao gulped. "This is too good."

Xi Rui said, "That's why it's seeds sent from heaven!"

He now completely believed that the old immortal existed.

Mo Qingling tried his best to calm himself down. "Are they all ripe now?"

Shi Qingluo replied, "Yes."

She added, "If we're going to send them to the capital, sending fresh corn definitely won't do the job. By the time they reach the capital, they'll rot.

"So, after we harvest them, we have to dry the corn cobs.

"After we dry them, we break off the corn kernels and grind them into powder, which are edible grains.

"The corn kernels can also be used as firewood to burn."

They won't go to waste.

Mo Qingling nodded. "I'll write a note today and send it to the capital urgently. I'll arrange for someone to collect it tomorrow."

If it wasn't for the fact that the sun had set, he wouldn't have wanted to wait until tomorrow.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Alright, I'll have to trouble you then, Magistrate Mo."

Mo Qingling waved his hand. "I still have to thank you on behalf of the residents."

Shi Qingluo immediately threw the blame on him. "My master left this behind. You can thank my master."

She just needed to get some fame.

After all, she still wanted to live a long life.

Mo Qingling was stunned at first and sighed that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife were both brilliant individuals.

He smiled and said, "Yes, I really have to thank the old immortal."

"I want to offer incense to the old immortal, is that okay?"

Initially, he did not believe that the old immortal existed, but now he was half-convinced and doubted less, especially after hearing that many had seen the old immortal appearing at the Taoist temple again today.

Mr Hou had similar thoughts. "I'll offer incense to the old immortal as well."

The old Taoist priest left these seeds behind.
