The Mu family took the initiative to provoke trouble, but they were defeated by the other family. This time the Mu family's face was also lost.

Qu Tutong did not give Mu Laosan any chance to defend him. Together with Mu Laosan's tribe and servants, he was controlled by more than 100 guards and cavalrymen.

The Mu family members who had an arrogant look were squatting in the corner under the threat of a sharp horizontal knife, holding their heads tightly with their hands, forming a sharp contrast with their previous arrogance.

"Pu She! Xiao Min has a distant uncle who is the military officer of the King of Lujiang, Wang Lishe, and I hope Pu She will spare Xiao Min this time. Xiao Min will be at ease in the future and will not have any greed." Mu Lao San hurriedly moved out his reinforcements.

Qu Tutong frowned slightly. His relationship with Lujiang King Li Yuan was not good. Li Yuan relied on his own status and was even more unstoppable in the court, and he was arrogant and respectful.

Before Qu Tutong came to Luozhou to take office, the court had sent Cui Dunli, the Tongshi Housekeeper, to summon Li Yuan to the capital, but Qu Tutong didn't know what the situation was like later.

The military officer is not a high-ranking position, but Li Yuan is the prince and the nephew of Emperor Li Yuan. His mansion is equipped with a military officer. The military officer in the prince's mansion is the seventh rank. Although the rank is not high, he is Li Yuan's confidant and can also say something in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan is famous for protecting his shortcomings. Whether right or wrong, his people must be right. Li Yuan does not have the talent to command military forces, and he can only use this method to win people's hearts. Therefore, powerful generals such as Qu Tutong still look down on Li Yuan very much.

Now the problem is that the King of Qin summoned Li Yuan to the capital, but in fact he realized that Li Yuan and the Crown Prince Qi and others secretly colluded to the capital. In fact, he was just trying to determine whether Li Yuan, King Lujiang, had the intention to rebel. If King Lujiang refused to enter the capital, it would be easy to say, and the court would immediately send a large army to wipe out.

If Li Yuan obeyed the conscript and entered Beijing, this matter would be difficult. The King of Qin would not kill Li Yuan. After all, he already had the blood of the prince and the King of Qi, and the most likely thing was to be under house arrest.

So no matter what the result is, Li Yuan can only fall into the sun since then. Even Li Yuan has been doing this. What kind of waves can his subordinates make?

"Even the King of Lujiang must follow the laws of the Tang Dynasty and forcefully robbed food for orphans in broad daylight. This matter is where His Majesty, and the King of Lujiang dare not say that he has taken the word "Ru"!" Qu Tutong quickly figured out the key points. He had no need to give Li Yuan face, let alone a seventh-rank official under Li Yuan?

"Okay, Pushe is really a wise official. He is not afraid of power, but only understands the truth. With such a wise official in Luoyang, we can work steadily." Qu Tutong's actions won the recognition of a large number of people, and people come forward from time to time to applaud.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains suffered from chaos, and the people were displaced. It was not until the fourth year of Wude that the Qin King personally led a large army to defeat Dou Jiande's troops at Hulao Pass, and the Central Plains region was considered to have recovered stability.

In the fifth year of Wude and the sixth year of Wude, the court was pacifying the people and returning to normal as much as possible in the Central Plains. It was not until the seventh year of Wude that the situation in the Central Plains was slightly better.

However, the Central Plains area is a narrow town. A narrow town refers to a large population and a small land area. A small population and a large land area are called Kuan Township.

Despite more than ten years of war, the population in the Central Plains is still denser than that in Guanzhong. Although the people at this time were placed here, they never dared to work with peace of mind, for fear that war would break out from time to time, especially the Turks in the north.

Another reason is that Luoyang officials are not very honest, and this is the most important reason.

Qu Tutong's statement undoubtedly gave the people of Qinhe Village a reassurance, and what happened in Qinhe Village today will definitely spread all over the world. Qu Tutong took this opportunity to gain reputation for the court.

"Dalang, this product yields four stones per acre?" Qu Tutong took two steps forward, looked at the potatoes placed on the mound of soil, and said in amazement.

He is sure that he has never seen this thing before, and it looks quite large. If the yield per mu can really reach four stones, then...

"Return to Pushe, I have confirmed that the per mu of potatoes is more than four stones." Qin Chao responded with a smile. Potatoes are not rare food. Although it is indeed rare in the Tang Dynasty, and such a high per mu yield can have a huge impact on the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Qin Chao also vaguely felt that the official position of the Pushe in front of him should be quite large.

Although Qin Chao did not understand the official position of the Tang Dynasty, he seemed to have said in TV series he had watched later generations that there was a left and right purse around the emperor, which was the position of prime minister, with one person below tens of thousands of people.

Although this Pushe is not the one in the court, the one who can be appointed as a Pushe in the local area must at least be the second and third in command of Luoyang, right?

The opportunity to rise is here, well, let's do this servant first...

"Previously, after three months of careful care, the thirty-two seedlings produced about 150 fruits, and three or four fruits were about one pound. If the scale was increased by three or four times, the yield could be per mu. If the planting in a certain courtyard was full, the yield would exceed one stone. If it was planted on arable land, if it was properly cared for, the yield would be at least four stones per mu. If it was planted on sandy land, the yield would be higher."

Although Qu Tutong was mentally prepared, he was still shocked again after Qin Chao's explanation. Four stones per mu were enough to scare him. This yield of six stones per mu...

Qu Tutong looked at the dug potato seedlings on the ground. The planting area was indeed not large. Thirty-two plants were planted into three rows, which were about one and a half wide and seven or eight steps long. If Qin Chao said exactly, the yield per mu was more than just four stones.

"Qin Chao, I am the position of the prosecutor of the King of Qin to guard Luozhou (Luoyang), and Duke Jiang Qu Tutong suddenly formally stated his identity, but then continued: "Showing his identity is not to put pressure on you, but to want you to know that I will not be greedy for your contributions, and I have the ability to make this matter known to the heavens."

After explaining his intentions clearly, Qu Tutong spoke again: "Qin Chao, are you willing to hand over this potato to the court and benefit the people?"

"Duke Jiang? Hiss, this is Duke Jiang..."

‘Pu!’ Three or four middle-aged men in the village suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed to Qu Tutong violently, looking at the crowd of people confused.

"Duke Jiang Guo, five years ago, you fought Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass with the King of Qin. When Wang Shichong was Wang, his rank was a member of your army. He could only take a look at him from a distance. He never thought that he could get in touch with Duke Jiang so close today."

"Dalang, please hand over the potatoes to Duke Jiang. Duke Jiang will definitely be convinced."

"Yes, Dalang, Duke Jiang is the benefactor of our Luozhou. It was the Luozhou that Duke Jiang recovered from Wang Shichong. If Duke Jiang had not fought bravely back then, it would have been impossible for our Luozhou to stabilize now."
