Chapter 220 You idiot, shut up!
Hearing the servant's words, the town supervisor frowned and spoke.
"Kick him out. Everyone knows that I never accept bribes."
"No, no, that person said he was the village chief of Zhushan Village. Those sweet potatoes were not given to you, sir. Instead, they were used as seeds for everyone to plant. One of the women even said she was Princess Changning! I asked her to wait at the door first."
Hearing the servant's words, the town commander was so shocked that he stood up immediately.
"Who, you, who are you talking about?"
"Princess Changning, but from what I see, she is dressed simply and doesn't look like a princess. I think it must be nonsense, but those things..."
"You idiot, who in this world dares to pretend to be a princess? Come with me to welcome her." He knew that Emperor Beichen had just canonized a commoner princess some time ago, but he didn't expect that she would come here now.
In fact, Han Yi didn't want to come here by herself, and she didn't want to use her status as a princess to pressure others. But the village chief said that when he came here to deliver sweet potato seedlings last time, he didn't even see the town supervisor.
Furthermore, because of the high harvest, the villagers automatically increased the original 100 kilograms to 200 kilograms per family. In this way, the entire Zhushan Village had 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms. Now was a time when food was scarce everywhere, and Han Yiyi was worried that the governor would embezzle the sweet potatoes, so she revealed her identity as a princess.
However, after she proudly stated her identity as a princess for the first time, she was ignored by a servant. Not only did he not scare the other person, but he also asked her to wait at the door and said he would go in to report. Seeing this, Han Yiyi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
However, she did not want to argue too much with a servant, so she did not say anything else and let him go and report.
However, in just a cup of tea, the gate of the town's mansion was opened, and then Han Yiyi saw an old man running towards him quickly. Halfway through his run, his shoes fell off, and he didn't even go back to pick them up. Instead, he knelt down in front of Han Yiyi.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
When the servants behind saw their masters kneeling down, they also knelt down hurriedly. At this time, the people from Zhushan Village who came with Han Yiyi, including the village chief, were dumbfounded. They didn't understand what the supervisor was up to.
In fact, the reason why the servant didn't believe Han Yiyi was because Han Yiyi pulled him aside and talked to him alone.
Han Yiyi didn't expect that she would scare the warden so much, and she quickly asked people to get up.
"Okay, get up!"
At this time, the people in Zhushan Village saw that the town supervisor had really become obedient and his expression was full of fear, and they couldn't help but become more confused. Aunt Zhang couldn't help but come up to Han Yiyi and asked.
"Han girl, what is going on? When did you become a princess?"
After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Han Yiyi was about to explain when she heard the supervisor beside her speak to Aunt Zhang with a stern face.
"How dare you! Princess Changning was conferred the title by His Majesty himself. How dare you, a lowly person, speak to her like that?"
When Han Yiyi heard the governor say this, he could not help but glance at him coldly before speaking.
"It was also because I helped the Emperor solve some problems when I went to Kyoto that I was canonized..."
"I'm honored to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
"I'm honored to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
"I'm honored to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
Before Han Yiyi could finish her words, they all knelt down together. Even those who were at the back, curious about what Han Yiyi and the others were pulling and who came to watch the fun, knelt down together.
Han Yiyi: ...He revealed his identity because he was worried that the things would be embezzled by the town supervisor. After all, the village chief had said before that when he came to deliver the sweet potato seedlings, he was not even allowed to enter. Therefore, Han Yiyi did not have a good impression of the town supervisor.
And just now when he heard him scolding Aunt Zhang and calling her a pariah, his impression of her became even worse. However, thinking about the purpose of his visit today, his eyes flashed and he spoke.
"Okay, okay, everyone, get up quickly. This princess came here today to deliver sweet potato seeds. The villagers of Zhushan Village accidentally got a kind of food, which we call sweet potato. This kind of sweet potato is not only delicious, but also high-yielding. The yield per mu has reached 8,000 kilograms. With this kind of food, everyone will no longer worry about going hungry..."
"Princess, are you telling the truth? Is it this lump of earth..."
"This clod of earth can be eaten. Can it really produce 8,000 kilograms per mu?"
"Yes, yes, can it really produce 8,000 kilograms per mu? Then when can we plant it?"
"Yeah, how do we grow this thing? Can we take it back to grow now?"
Before Han Yiyi finished speaking, everyone became excited and asked questions one after another.
Seeing this, Han Yiyi quickly pressed his hands and waited until everyone was quiet before continuing to speak.
"Yes, this is sweet potato. It tastes good whether you eat it steamed or boiled. I brought it here to distribute to everyone, but not now. I will give it to the town supervisor first. In March of next year, you can come to the town supervisor to get the sweet potato seeds. After you go back, you can inform your relatives and friends about this...", then turned and looked at the town supervisor.
"I'll give these sweet potatoes to you first. Ask people to dig a cellar to store them. After the New Year, you can grow seedlings and distribute them to everyone."
When the town commander saw Han Yiyi's indifferent look, he quickly nodded in agreement.
The sweet potatoes were pulled here by Old Man Wei's ox cart and Han Yi's family's mule cart. However, because they were worried about being robbed on the road, the village chief selected some young and strong men in the village to accompany them.
However, Han Yiyi and the village chief were still worrying too much. No one knew sweet potatoes, and because the sweet potatoes were covered with mud, people along the way thought they were pulling two carts of mud.
However, when everyone saw them pulling two carts of "soil blocks" and parked in front of the gate of the town government office, they gathered around curiously.
Everyone was delighted to hear Han Yiyi say this.
Looking at the baskets of sweet potatoes being carried into the prison, he swallowed subconsciously.
At this time, the servant behind the town monitor couldn't help swallowing his saliva. When he looked up, he saw the village chief carrying sweet potatoes with everyone else, and hurriedly whispered in the town monitor's ear.
"Master, that person, that person seems to be the village chief who came a few months ago with sweet potato seedlings and said that this thing could produce 5,000 kilograms per mu of land. But you said he was talking in a dream and did not let him in..."
"You idiot, shut up!"
