After a stick of incense.
Chen Zhuo and Feng Wenming opened their eyes in astonishment, grabbing Cui Du's hands from left to right: "Is what Mr. Cui said true?"
"In this world, there is really Twenty stones of grain per mu?”
These two elders are both old and very strong.
Cui Du's wrists hurt from being squeezed, and he pulled his hands back with a grin: "These two kinds of grains are from overseas. I have to find grain seeds first before I can grow them."< br>
For breeding experiments, you must first have grain seeds.
Chen Changshi, who had always been calm and self-possessed, could hardly control his excitement and immediately said: "Wherever there is grain, send someone to look for it immediately."
Feng Changshi said without hesitation He took up the conversation: "No matter how much money you spend, you have to buy it back."
"That's what I planned too." The princess finally said He opened his mouth: "Master Cui said that we should send people to the coastal counties to find them. There are many coastal counties in Daliang, and the wharf in Nanhai County is the largest. Every year, many maritime merchants go to sea from there. When they come back, they will bring back Many good things from overseas.”
“I’m going to send a team to Nanhai County to find new grains.”
Chen Zhuo and Feng Wenming said in unison: "The princess is wise!"
Since they agree, the next thing to discuss is who should be sent.
"Nanhai County is a long way away, and it takes several months to go back and forth. The prince's officials all perform their own duties, and it is not appropriate to send anyone to go." Chen Zhuo thought for a while and said: "Besides, traveling all the time, It’s very hard. It’s best for the princess to choose people from the guard camp.”
If you encounter any bandits along the way, the guards are capable of protecting themselves.
Jiang Shaohua nodded in agreement: "I will ask someone to invite Commander Song to come over."
After a cup of tea, Song Yuan also entered the study.
Cui Du's voice has not fully recovered yet. He has difficulty speaking and his voice is hoarse and unpleasant. Feng Wenming took the initiative to speak and tell the whole story.
Song Yuan immediately said: "Princess, this matter will be left to the end."
Jiang Shaohua also liked Song Yuan in his heart. First, leave this matter to someone you trust. Secondly, Song Yuan has a stable temperament and is capable as a servant. No one in the palace is more suitable than him.
"Okay, leave this matter to Commander Song." Jiang Shaohua calmed down and opened his mouth to make arrangements: "Commander Song will bring twenty personal guards from the palace, and then go to the personal guard camp to recruit a hundred people. Each time There are three men and horses, bring more dry food and enough money.”
"The time is limited to four months. No matter whether we can buy new grain seeds or not, once the four months are up, we have to set off and come back."
Song Yuan accepted the order.
Cui Du didn't need anyone's orders at all. He had already found a place to sit down and concentrated on drawing the drawings.
The characteristics of sweet potatoes and corn are obvious. Cui Du drew ten copies in a row before stopping. It just so happened that the princess, Chen Changshi and others were almost done discussing it.
Song Yuan took the thick stack of drawings and took a deep look at Cui Du: "Cui Du, if this matter comes to pass, you will be the number one hero of the Nanyang Palace!"
Cui Du was not used to such high praises and scratched his head: "Uncle, don't say that. I receive the princess's salary and it is my duty to share the princess's worries."
Jiang Shaohua said with a smile: "Any merit should be rewarded. .If Commander Song can really I have found new grains, and Young Master Cui has grown new grains that can save the people of Nanyang County. No matter what reward Young Master Cui wants, I will accept it."
Cui Du's face turned red, and he suddenly drooped. He didn't look at the princess.
A smile flashed in Song Yuan's eyes and he said no more.
Chen Zhuo and Feng Wenming looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.
...
Jiang Shaohua slept peacefully and soundly that night.
Perhaps, fleeting glimpses and past events have appeared in dreams. But it flashed by like flowing clouds, and finally turned into yellow corn and big, round sweet potatoes... I slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up.
Jiang Shaohua opened his eyes lazily: "Yinzhu, Tubai, why didn't you two wake me up?"
Yin Zhu responded with a smile: "The princess has been traveling around for the past six months, and finally returned home to sleep peacefully. The servant then took it upon herself to let the princess sleep a little longer."
Mama Zhang held up the hot cup. Coming in after breakfast: "What I'm saying is that the princess has worked hard these past six months, so she should have a rest after returning to the palace. Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi are involved in the affairs of the palace!"
What Zhang's mother said rational.
You can't be tense all the time. When it's time to relax, take it easy.
Jiang Shaohua had breakfast and continued to sleep.
After sleeping like this for a whole day and a night, I was completely repaired.
Song Yuan was not idle that day. He went to the guard camp and ordered a hundred guards. He also brought twenty people from the palace and prepared enough dry food and war horses. After bidding farewell to the princess, the group left in a hurry.
Such a big movement naturally cannot be hidden from the officials of the palace.
That’s it for others. Yang Zheng is very curious and has to ask questions. Unfortunately, only a few people know the inside story. He didn't dare to ask the princess. He had no friendship with Cui Du. When he asked Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi, he was vague.
Jiang Shaohua was not idle either. After two days of rest, he rode his horse to the farm.
Qin Hu, Meng Sanbao and dozens of other soldiers rode their horses to follow the princess to the farm. The young Chen Sheren and Ma Sheren also accompanied him, as well as three chief clerks, Chen Changshi and Feng Changshiwen.
After entering the farm, what you can see is an endless wheat field.
"The spring wheat has been harvested, and what the princess sees now is winter wheat." Lin Zhuangtou's face was red and his voice was strong: "For the spring wheat before, we selected the grain according to Master Cui's method. By farming with compost, we can harvest half a stone more grain per acre.”
“The grain used for winter wheat will be better, and the grain yield will be higher next year.”
Grain harvest zone. The joy that comes is unmatched by anything.
Lin Zhuangtou is a real person. In the past six months, he has gone from being dubious to convinced. Now when he mentions Mr. Cui, he is almost always praised.
"Master Cui is busy in the fields every day, giving us instructions one by one on how to farm. I have been farming for decades, but I don't even understand one-tenth of what Master Cui knows. I am really ashamed."< br>
Jiang Shaohua's eyebrows were full of smiles, and he glanced at Cui Du: "So Mr. Cui is so powerful."
Cui Du looked light and giddy, grinning.
Chen Jinyu’s big and flexible eyes looked back and forth at Cui Du.
Ma Yaozong felt a twinge of jealousy in his heart.
He has been with the princess for three months. He works diligently every day, fearing that there is no detail. But the princess only praised him once or twice.
Isn’t this Cui Du good at farming? The princess also looked at him very differently.
After wandering around the fields for half a day, at noon, the princess invited Cui Du to join him at the table.
As a result, even Chen Jinyu was a little bit dissatisfied.
"I heard that Mr. Cui is the nephew of Commander Song." Ma Yaozong whispered: "In terms of blood relationship, he can be regarded as the princess's cousin."
Chen Jinyu glanced at Ma Yaozong: "The princess acts , it’s your turn and my turn to talk too much.”
Ma Yaozong hit a hard target, smiled and quickly shut up.
