Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation    Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On this day, everyone in Shifeng County was in a state of chaos. Some were overjoyed, some were suspicious, and some wanted to find out if this was true, especially the landlord and squire, they all sent people to Jian Village to investigate.

There were also people with relatives in Jian Village who wanted to use this line to investigate.

Not long after the news was released, groups of people came to Jian Village to find out what was going on, but they were all blocked by the 200 soldiers.

There were also people who wanted to cross the mountains and enter the village, but they were also caught by the villagers.

Today, the entire Jian Village was on patrol. Even the children who had just learned how to walk were shouting with a stick. The entire village was on guard.

At night, groups of people were blocked. Some people could not enter, so they simply sat on the ground at the entrance of the village and brought their own rations, thinking of waiting from today to tomorrow.

Because there were too many people who wanted to take advantage of this loophole, Ming Zhiyan gathered another group of people to keep watch at night and replaced the group from the day.

Everyone was on high alert and guarded for the entire day and night.

The next morning, when the sky was still hazy, there were thousands of people standing outside the Jian Family Village.

Ming Zhiyan had been staying in the Jian Family Village since yesterday and had not slept for the entire night, he had been making arrangements for the next day.

At this moment, he was standing halfway up the mountain, looking in the direction of the village entrance.

The sky was still dark, but the moonlight clan could faintly see the situation there. It was a dark mass of people, and people were moving around.

The guard, Wang Li, asked, “Master, will there be any problems with so many people coming in?

Ming Zhiyan said with a stern face, “It’s nothing. You have to keep an eye on them later. Don’t hesitate with those who harbor ill intentions. Also, let people in in batches, no more than 2,000 people in each batch.”

The closer it was to daybreak, the more people came. There were even quite a number of people with families standing on the road outside the Jian Family Village, stretching for a few miles.

When the sky was bright, Ming Zhiyan said in a deep voice, “Let them in!”

The officers listened to the order and opened the gate, shouting, “Line up and come in one by one! Don’t squeeze in!”

When the people outside heard it, they pushed and shoved for a long time before they formed a crooked line.

After letting the 2,000 people in front of them in, the line didn’t change much. It was just as long.

The first 2,000 people were escorted in by twenty officials. Even if there were majestic officials watching, they could not stop their curiosity.

Along the way, they looked around, wishing that they could memorize all the plants they saw.

When they first entered the village, there were no crops. There was only one road.

When they turned around the foot of a mountain, they saw a large area of crops. They were endless, and all of them were planted with various crops. The visitors who came in were all stunned. They looked at these crops in a daze.

It was really different…

The leading official shouted, “This is not the place. Hurry up and go!”

“Oh… Oh…”

The group of people walked in a daze. Their eyes were still looking at the farmland on both sides.

After walking for half a minute, they finally reached the place. It was a small hill. there were only a few acres of thin farmland inside. All of them were planted with sweet potatoes. The villagers were already rubbing their fists and

waiting here.

The officials asked the people to stand on the hillside to watch.. Then, they shouted to the villagers, “Let’s start digging!’
