The yield of corn per acre was quickly calculated. It was 658 catties, merely 138 catties higher than that produced by the Mu family’s low-grade land in spring. Not only Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran, but even Mu Yangling was not very satisfied with this.
However, there was less rainfall in the second season and the fields were only watered once. In addition, the sunlight was far inferior to the first season, so it was understandable.
Qi Xiuyuan kept all the harvested corn in the West Camp’s storerooms, filling two storerooms.
Of course, these corns could not all be used as seeds. They had to be screened. Moreover, they had to discuss how much to give the emissary to bring back to Lin’an Prefecture.
Minister Qin had written a secret letter to the emissary, hoping that he could bring all the seeds back. Even if he couldn’t, he had to bring most of them. Unfortunately, the letter was intercepted by Qi Haoran before it could reach the emissary’s hands. Then, it went to Qi Xiuyuan’s desk.
Qi Haoran had a perfect explanation for this. “I’m investigating the spies left behind. That person was riding a tall horse and was not from the relay station or the Imperial Court. I thought he was a spy, but who knew that he was Minister Qin’s man?”
Qi Xiuyuan picked up the envelope and looked at it. Seeing that the envelope had been opened, his brother had obviously read the letter. He asked, “Where’s that person?”
“He fell off his horse and died while attempting to escape.”
Qi Xiuyuan looked up at him and put down the letter. “Since he’s not good at riding, that’s none of our concern. Go back and keep an eye on the roads in Mingshui County. Make sure you don’t let those spies slip through. As for the emissary, I’ll explain it to him.”
Unconvinced, Qi Haoran said, “Big Brother, Qin Fang is too nosy. We have so many seeds, but he actually wants all of them.”
Qi Xiuyuan snorted and said, “So he might not live long. Go back. The seeds have been selected. The Shen family will come in a few days to take a third of their share. Be careful not to let the emissary know.”
“Big Brother, how much do you want to hand over to the emissary?”
