Chapter 45 This is Sweet Potato
At present, Chen Zonghai and Zheng Tian formed a team and walked towards the small fishing village together.

There is no official way to enter the small fishing village. We have to climb mountains and ridges, so Chen Zonghai can only dismount and lead him on foot.

As for Zheng Tian, ​​he didn't ride a horse at all when he went to the countryside. He directly stored his BMW at a carriage shop in a nearby town and replaced it with a green ox.

Now that they are all disguised, if they lead a horse, it will look completely different. Only green oxen can wear geyi straw sandals.

They were going to meet the hermit queen Su.

"Brother Zong Hai, look at this land, there is no trace of rice blast. That Aunt Su is quite capable." Zheng Tian pointed at the fields under the road and sighed.

Chen Zonghai also nodded repeatedly: "What Wentai said is absolutely true. Aunt Su is indeed amazing. I often hear people say that if the fields are left yellow due to rice blast, there is no other way but to uproot them all and plant them again. I don’t know if that’s how it’s handled here.”

Zheng Tian said: "No. Farmers don't have that many spare grain seeds to plant, and they can't raise seedlings that fast. It's difficult to fake this matter."

"Yes, I took it for granted."

The two of them chatted all the way over a high slope, and they could vaguely see wide ridges on the slope next to them, and someone was farming.

The green area is very pleasant.

Zheng Tian stopped and observed, looking thoughtful.

After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Brother Zong Hai, do you know what is being planted on the wide ridge slope in front of you?"

"This... Chen is ignorant and ignorant. I don't know anything about it. Please ask my dear brother for advice."

Chen Zonghai's agricultural knowledge was far inferior to Zheng Tian's. After all, his ambition was to be a high official, and he was driven to be a low-level official because the reality was too skinny.

Before passing the imperial examination, he had never worked in the fields.

Now I am able to recognize some crops, but it is because I am directly responsible for collecting agricultural taxes as a county lieutenant that I can barely recognize them.

Zheng Tian then asked the servants on both sides behind him: "Do you know this crop?"

Everyone shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.

Zheng Tian then said: "Brother Zong Hai, wait for Zheng to go and ask for advice."

He is a person who is not ashamed to ask questions from his subordinates and firmly believes that "among three people walking together, there must be someone who can teach me."Nowadays, when I encounter a crop I don’t know at all, my curiosity arouses and I want to find out about it immediately.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the court had regulations on what kind of fields farmers should plant. Rice, wheat, hemp, etc. had to be planted in sufficient quantities according to the regulations. Improper planting would be forcibly pulled out.

By the late Tang Dynasty, the land equalization system had long since disappeared, and the tax law had been changed to a two-tax law. Coupled with the separation of vassal towns, the centralization of power had declined, and farmers had greater freedom and could grow what they wanted.

But this was the first time Zheng Tian had seen such a strange vine leaf.

When a few people climbed up the slope and went up the drainage ditch, Su Qingqing, who was immersed in cutting, also noticed it.

She straightened up, looked down, and met Zheng Tian's eyes.

"It was her."

"It was him."

This sentence suddenly appeared in the two people's minds.

Today, Su Qingqing is wearing a set of clothes specially patched by Zhang for going to the fields. From behind, it is indeed difficult to recognize her.

But when she turned around, her face, which was completely different from that of an ordinary village woman, was revealed.

Zheng Tian stopped five meters in front of Su Qingqing, saluted from afar, and announced his home address: "Zheng Tian, ​​who is in Xingyang, was passing by here and saw that the crops grown in these fields are very rare, so I came here to ask for advice."

Xingyang Zheng Tian?

Could it be Zheng Tian and Zheng Taiwen, the last famous prime minister of the late Tang Dynasty who extended the life of the Tang Dynasty for another 30 years?

Su Qingqing had specifically checked the information on Xunzhou before. There was no record of who the county magistrate was, but the governor Zheng Ya recorded it clearly.His son Zheng Tian, ​​who followed Zheng Ya, naturally has countless historical records.

But she didn't expect that the person in front of her would be Zheng Tian.

This... is so pretty.

But yes, history does record that he was a handsome man.

Su Qingqing didn't blurt out the question, just because she was used to being taciturn, and she was very shocked and curious inside.

But after all, if you talk too much, you will be wrong. As a celebrity, if you want to avoid being caught, you have to think twice before doing anything.It is better to respond slowly than to blurt out something without thinking.

Seeing the young lady in front of him staring blankly at him with a strange expression, Zheng Tian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Su Qingqing came back to her senses, thought for a while, and confirmed: "Are you from the governor's family who just arrived in Xunzhou this year?"

In the second year of Dazhong - the year she traveled back in time, Zheng Ya was demoted to Xunzhou as the governor, and his son Zheng Tian followed him around.

Dazhong Dynasty is a world of powerful people. All Li party members and relatives are often despised, and they will not be together in the military for a long time.

These are all contents in historical records. Su Qingqing has specially checked the information and still remembers it.

Zheng Tian burst out laughing when he heard this. This was an interesting question, so he smiled and replied: "I am a member of the governor's family who just arrived in Xunzhou this year."

The Zhang family, Tian Youmi and other people from the small fishing village who came to help Su Qingqing in farming, when they heard that this person was the prince of the governor's family, they immediately panicked and fell to their knees.

Governor!To the common people, he is a great official, high and out of reach!

"You don't have to be polite, Zheng is just a white man now."

Su Qingqing did not feel confused because of the identity of the other party. She frowned and thought for a moment, then confirmed again: "Are you Zheng Tian, ​​the Zheng Tian with the name Tai Wen?"

"You are so bold and cunning, how can you call brother Tai Wen by his first name?" Chen Zonghai, who came up with Zheng Tian, ​​raised his eyebrows and scolded him directly.

In the highly hierarchical Tang Dynasty, it was extremely impolite for peers to call each other by their first names, and it was usually a matter of title or name, let alone a lower-ranking person addressing a higher-ranking person.

"It doesn't matter." Zheng Tian didn't care, "The name is just for people to call."

In the countryside, one should not ask for too much.

Then he introduced everyone: "This is the local county captain, Mr. Chen Shaofu."

When everyone heard this, they naturally bowed again.

Su Qingqing was sure that the handsome man in front of her was really Zheng Tian, ​​the future boss of the Tang Dynasty!
She was so surprised. She had only traveled through the Tang Dynasty for less than half a month, and she met the boss Zheng Tian twice!

No, maybe more than twice.

Su Qingqing reacted slowly and returned a Wanfu gift to the visitor. She ignored Chen Zonghai, who was dressed in silk, and only said to Zheng Tian: "Half a month ago, did you save a person in the water?"

Zheng Tian blushed when he heard this, and the scene of that day reappeared in his mind.He didn't expect that the person who was obviously unconscious was still conscious.

Now that he was asked, he admitted frankly: "Well, it is true."

"He is indeed the one who saved her." Su Qingqing said in her heart, but when she saw a trace of red on the jade-like face of the man opposite her, she felt a little embarrassed.

She was just asking, forgetting how embarrassed she was when she first crossed over.

It was Zheng Tian who brought the topic back to the beginning: "May I ask, little lady, what crops are grown here?"

"Oh, these are sweet potatoes."
