The harvested sweet potatoes were also distributed to the Wang family, Landlord Chang’s house, Fang family, Feng family, Zouxing’s family, Sun Tiezhu’s family, and Sun Lizheng family. The families hired by Sun Quanliang were each given a basketful, and even Pei Lizheng family received a basket.

"Next year, the entire Yuanyang County will promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes. These sweet potatoes all need to be reserved for seeds!" Pei Qin had no intention of eating all these sweet potatoes. However, the bruised ones and smaller ones could still be sorted out to eat.

"Then sell them!" Fang Li laughed heartily as he talked about how much money they could bring in, then suggested that Fang Liuming should come and help his cousin more when he had no schoolwork.

Old Scholar Fang reminded Pei Qin to have someone carefully guard the sweet potatoes in the workshop and to find him immediately in case of any issues.

Pei Qin agreed and saw them off.

After a tiring day and a good night’s sleep, the next day the Government Officials came over to post the notice and delivered a land marker to Pei Qin. As requested, it bore the bold characters ’Government Promotion’ and ’Sweet Potato Plantation Base,’ along with the signatures of Wu Dongsi and Sun Lizheng.
