spend time

After a stick of incense.

Chen Zhuo and Feng Wenming opened their eyes in shock, grabbing Cui Du's hands from left to right: "Is what Mr. Cui said true?"

"In this world, is there really a grain yield of twenty dan per mu?"

These two elders are both very old and very powerful.

Cui Du's wrists hurt from being pinched, and he pulled his hands back with a grin: "These two kinds of grains are imported from overseas. I have to find grain seeds first before I can grow them."

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 took over the words without hesitation: "No matter how much money you spend, you have to buy it back."

"That's what I plan to do." The princess finally spoke: "Master Cui said that he would send people to the coastal counties to find him. There are many coastal counties in Daliang, and the dock in Nanhai County is the largest. There are many maritime merchants every year When you go to sea from there, you will bring back many good things from overseas."

"I'm going to send a team of people to Nanhai County to find new grain seeds."

Chen Zhuo and Feng Wenming said in unison: "The princess is wise!"

Now that the opinions are unanimous, 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 suitable to send anyone to go." Chen Zhuo thought for a while and said: "Besides, traveling on the road is very hard. The princess is from It would be most appropriate to select someone from the personal guard camp.”

If any bandits are encountered 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, and it is difficult to speak, 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 general."

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, I'll 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 has three horses, and more will be brought. I have brought enough dry food and 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 start back."

Song Yuan accepted the order with his hands raised.

Cui Du didn't need anyone's instructions 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 looked at Cui Du deeply: "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 praise 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: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded. If Commander Song can really find new grains and Mr. Cui grows new grains, he can save the people of Nanyang County. No matter what reward Mr. Cui wants, I will accept it."

Cui Du's face turned red, and he suddenly lowered his eyes, not looking 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, there have been fleeting glimpses and past events in the dream. 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 lazily opened his eyes: "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. I will take it upon myself to let the princess sleep a little longer."

Zhang's mother came in with a hot breakfast: "The princess has been working hard for the past six months, so she should have a rest after returning to the palace. The affairs in the palace include Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi!"

What Zhang’s mother said makes sense.

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.

Naturally, such a big movement could not 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 because 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 endless wheat fields.

"The spring wheat has been harvested. 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 grain seeds according to Mr. Cui's method and cultivated them with compost. Every acre of field I harvested half a stone more grain."

"The grain used for winter wheat is better, and next year's grain yield will be higher."

The joy brought by a good harvest is incomparable to anything else.

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.

"Mr. Cui is busy in the fields every day, teaching us one by one how to farm. I have been farming for decades, but I don't understand even one-tenth of what Mr. Cui knows. I'm really ashamed."

Jiang Shaohua's eyebrows were full of smiles, and he glanced at Cui Du: "So Mr. Cui is so powerful."

Cui Du's whole body felt light-headed and he grinned.

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, and he works diligently every day, fearing that there is no detail. But the princess only praised him once or twice.

This Cui Du, doesn’t he just know how to farm? 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: "When the princess acts, it is your turn and my turn to talk."

Ma Yaozong hit a hard nail, smiled, and quickly shut up.
