Chapter 290 Finally got old!
The villagers chatted wildly, sometimes they were talking about the East and the West, sometimes they were cursing the Tatars, and sometimes they were recalling the hard days of these years.
Gu Nanxi didn’t find it annoying, but listened with great interest.
"The old man said he wanted to plant grass in Woye Town. What kind of grass should he plant?"
Seeing that the general was interested in this matter, the villager quickly handed out what he knew.
"It's said to be dandelion grass. It's really strange. A dandelion is just a dandelion, and it's still called dandelion grass."
Gu Nanxi: "Where did they come from? Where are they now?"
The villagers whispered to each other, then shook their heads blankly: "I don't know. They lived in the village for four days and didn't say anything to us villagers. They left early this morning, and I don't know where they went. "
Gu Nanxi felt a little regretful and could only let it go: "If there is a new crop that I want you to help plant, would you be willing?"
The expressions of the villagers. Embarrassed, he hesitated: "General, we are all digging in the soil. If this year's harvest is not good, we will be hungry for a year. We really don't dare to take this risk."
Gu Nanxi smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'll just say it casually."
Seeing that Gu Nanxi was not angry, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief. The two parties chatted for a while longer, and then Gu Nanxi left.
After returning to his residence, Gu Nanxi still couldn't forget the old man who wanted to plant grass in Woye Town.
So, Gu Nanxi called Song Zhizhou: "You should pay more attention recently. If you meet someone who wants to plant grass in Woye Town, please tell me quickly."
"Okay. "Godmother." On the way here, Song Zhizhou saw a store selling kebabs, and he bought a handful. The aroma of barbecue was exuding.
"Godmother, the mutton here is completely different from the mutton in Kyoto. Try it."
Song Zhizhou put the mutton skewers on a white porcelain plate and looked at Gu Nanxi eagerly.
Gu Nanxi picked up a bunch and said, "You should also eat together."
Song Zhizhou felt that these days were extremely happy. He was the only one around his godmother, and there was no group of people competing for her favor. Brothers.
Song Zhizhou sipped at the kebabs: "Goddess, do you want to farm in Woye Town? The fields there are not good. I have asked many people, and they all said nothing can grow there. .”
Gu Nanxi: "God will never starve the diligent house bird to death. All things are interdependent."
"Okay, I understand, don't worry, godmother, as long as that person is still in Yunzhou, I will definitely find him Come out!”
Song Zhizhou especially likes to talk about Yunzhou. He always feels that this word means a family!
It didn’t take Song Zhizhou much effort to find this person.
Because on the third day, an old man and a middle-aged man appeared at the gate of the county government office, asking for General Gu Nanxi.
When Gu Nanxi saw these two people, they were sitting leisurely on wooden chairs in the lobby, sipping tea, as if they were not in a county government office, but in the wild mountains, surrounded by noisy animals. The government officials who kept looking at them were looking at the stones on the mountain and the wind passing through the valley.
The demeanor around us clearly tells Gu Nanxi that we are experts!
Gu Nanxi cleared her throat, and the smile on her lips was just right: "May I ask what you two gentlemen want from me?"
The old man glanced over and looked at Gu Nanxi.
The wind and sand at the border did not damage Gu Nanxi's beautiful appearance, but it added a chilling air to her unearthly temperament.
Her eyes are clear, and at first glance, she looks like an ignorant and innocent 28-year-old girl. If you look closely, you can see the clarity of the world.
Looking at her deeds, we can see that she has reached the state of returning to her original nature!
The old man secretly praised in his heart that this Cui Sanshu Tao is the way of good luck. He wasted most of his life and was an unruly person. At the end of the day, he recognized such a goddaughter with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix!
Sure enough, comparing people to each other is really annoying.
The old man did not show off, but handed Cui Sanlun's letter to him to Gu Nanxi.
Gu Nanxi opened the letter and read it, then stood up suddenly, straightened her clothes, looked dignified and solemn, and saluted the two of them.
"Thank you two uncles for traveling thousands of miles to help me!"
Don't ask why you call this middle-aged uncle an uncle, just because he is senior!
The old man sat on the chair and after receiving this great gift, he helped Gu Nanxi up.
"Your adoptive father has definitely never mentioned us old guys to you."
Gu Nanxi was so embarrassed that her adoptive father came to see Su Yunyan more often than he came to see her!
Gu Nanxi had reason to suspect that the reason why her adoptive father recognized her as his adopted daughter was solely because of Su Yunyan's cooking skills!
Fortunately, the old man didn't take it seriously and introduced himself: "My surname is Xu and my name is Shizhao. My ancestor is Xu Xing."
Hearing this, Gu Nanxi couldn't believe it and said: " That Xu Xing from Chu State?”
Seeing that Gu Nanxi knew about his ancestor, the old man stroked his gray beard and secretly said with pride, "It's the ancestor!"
Gu Nanxi hissed and gasped!
Who is this Xu Xing? He was a famous agriculturist and thinker during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period, and was the same era as Mencius! He is a representative figure of the peasant family and has written twelve chapters of "Shen Nong".
Gu Nanxi was more respectful to the old man: "I didn't expect that my uncle turned out to be a heir to the farmer's family. How can I deserve your help!"
But the old man sighed: " Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Confucianism was deposed and only Confucianism was respected. Fortunately for us, only a few dozen disciples and I are left here to this day. It is also our good fortune. br>
Gu Nanxi understood that what the farmers advocated was "marketing and selling," which meant setting unified standards so that farmers could directly exchange agricultural products for handmade products in the market, cutting out middlemen.
This concept is incompatible with the Zhou Dynasty, which valued commercial development, so this Uncle Xu will definitely not be able to flex his muscles in the court.
Gu Nanxi immediately promised: "Uncle Xu, don't worry, since you have come to our Yunzhou, I will give you the position of agricultural officer and take charge of all agricultural affairs in our Yunzhou!"
Xu Shizhao was obviously surprised by Gu Nanxi's generosity and said: "Why don't you stop taking exams for me?"
"How can there be any difference between the people introduced by my adoptive father?"
The most important thing is, how bad can Yunzhou's agriculture be, no matter how bad it is? If I were mistaken, I would buy grain from Jiangnan and transport it over!
Xu Shizhao had mixed emotions. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was happy that Gu Nanxi trusted him, or worried that she was so gullible.
Xu Shizhao cleared his throat and introduced the middle-aged man next to him with a smile: "You are so happy to hear that I am a farmer's son. Wouldn't you be happy to know the origin of your uncle? Do you have to go to heaven?”
Gu Nanxi turned her gaze to the middle-aged man and saw that the middle-aged man was dressed in coarse linen clothes and his broad palms were covered with calluses. He looked like an ordinary person.
“Dare I ask my uncle’s surname?”
