Chapter 322

A single sweet potato seedling yielded nearly ten jin of sweet potatoes!

"Splendid! Splendid! Splendid!"

"Hahaha..."

Ying Zheng held the sweet potatoes and looked at the soldiers around him.

"All soldiers, hear my command!"

"Subordinates are here!"

The ten thousand Commandant troops had been prepared for a long time.

They responded loudly to the Emperor's command!

"The harvest season has arrived! Dig carefully, do not damage the auspicious signs!"

"Find someone to calculate how many jin of auspicious signs are in one mu."

"Understood!"

Under the Emperor's command.

The army digging for potatoes and sweet potatoes officially began their work!

The Commandant troops had practiced many times.

They were professionals!

There was no need for further instruction; the sweet potato seedlings could be saved and used for cooking.

The sweet potato stems could be used for secondary planting!

As for the potato stems, no one cared for them; they only wanted the potatoes, not the stems.

The potato stems were left in the field to dry, after which they could be burned as fertilizer.

The Commandant troops each took a farming tool and began to dig.

Their movements were skillful and cautious.

They looked like veterans who had practiced countless times!

This military restricted area suddenly became a hive of activity.

As for the group of ministers, seeing that the Emperor himself was working.

How could they, as subjects, stand by and watch?

How could they dare to stand by?

They all requested to go down into the fields to work!

Just as the Emperor said, the importance lies in participation, and finding joy in the process!

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, telling them all to dig carefully.

They must not damage these auspicious signs!

The ministers found farming tools and began to enter the fields.

Some of them had done farm work before, while others had not.

They all squatted in the soil, digging cautiously.

Some even discarded their tools and used their hands to dig, fearing they might injure the sweet potatoes.

After a round of work.

Once they had dug up the sweet potatoes buried in the soil.

Without exception, they all felt a sense of satisfaction!

At this moment, the ministers' faces were filled with pure smiles.

In this moment, they had no schemes or infighting from the imperial court.

There was only a longing for the auspicious signs!

Ying Ying Zi Ye did not go down into the fields to work himself.

He had seen it before, so he might as well walk around.

He looked to see if there was anyone who didn't know how to dig, so he could offer some guidance.

He walked along the field.

Seeing the Commandant troops holding the auspicious signs in their hands, their faces filled with ecstatic excitement.

He couldn't help but smile inadvertently.

He sighed inwardly, thinking the old Qin people were truly adorable.

These auspicious signs were something they had guarded for three months.

Now, they could finally harvest them.

They were more satisfied than anyone else!

Because they had participated in the entire process from seed to maturity.

The satisfaction in their hearts was stronger than anyone else's.

Looking at those auspicious signs, their eyes held a look as if they were their own children.

Watching them grow from a cub until they were married and had children of their own.

This kind of satisfaction cannot be understood by those who have not participated.

This is satisfaction, and it is also a sense of harvest!

They had spent three months of painstaking care, and now they were reaping a full harvest!

Ying Ying Zi Ye walked slowly through the fields.

From time to time, he would offer a bit of guidance.

This also made him feel satisfied.

Gradually, he walked to the center of the sweet potato field.

But just at this moment.

Not far to his front left.

Two soldiers were actually grappling and fighting with each other.

This left him somewhat puzzled.

What was going on?

Why were they fighting?

Could it be that they were fighting over an uneven distribution of spoils?

Interesting.

The surrounding soldiers were all standing there, stunned.

They were at a loss, not knowing which side to help.

They could only stop their work and watch.

The Commandant Zhang Jiao had not gone down to dig for the auspicious signs either.

He had to ensure the soldiers did not damage the auspicious signs.

He had been patrolling, acting as a supervisor.

But he never expected that soldiers would start fighting here.

This terrified him.

Today was a very important day!

The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and all the civil and military officials were here.

Yet his soldiers were fighting at such a time.

Wouldn't this cause him to lose all face?

If the Emperor were displeased, his position as Commandant would be over.

Seeing the anomaly, he immediately rushed over from afar.

His heart was filled with anxiety.

Were these two soldiers sick?

Fighting at this time, weren't they courting death?

If they had personal grievances, couldn't they wait until the big shots left to settle them?

The commotion here also attracted the attention of many.

Ying Zheng, from the edge, also saw the disturbance.

"General Zhang Han, go and see what is happening." ===== CHAPTER 324 =====
