Chapter 336 Reunion

After riding for half a day, Jiang Shaohua didn't look tired at all. His eyebrows relaxed and a smile appeared on his lips: "Everyone, get up!"

"Thank you, Princess!" The response was much more uniform this time.

The Lushe people were the smartest and most knowledgeable people. He turned around and was about to tell the farmers to retreat, but Jiang Shaohua opened his mouth to stop them: "They just do whatever they want. I, the princess, can just watch at will."

The Lushe people immediately responded with a smile and repeated the princess's words loudly. The farmers went back to work in the fields in a mess.

Lin Zhuangtou was an honest man and did not notice the frequent winks from the Lushe people. He walked to the princess with a smile and talked enthusiastically about the new grain cultivation in the farm this year.

The Lu Sheren had to cough twice, interrupting Lin Zhuangtou's eloquence: "Lin Zhuangtou, Mr. Cui will report these matters to the princess. Let's go to the fields and take a look."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Zhuang's head away.

Lin Zhuangtou was dragged into the field, and then he realized: "Yes, the princess came to the farm specially to see Mr. Cui coming. I must be an eyesore by being there."

Finally something counts.

Lu Sheren complained silently in his heart, and laughed in a low voice: "Nanyang County has planted new grains, and the harvest is good. The people are not hungry, they can support the guards Ying and the Nanyang army, and there is still enough energy to donate food to the court. Cui The young master wants to take the lead. The princess specially came to see Mr. Cui, which shows how much she regards Mr. Cui."

Lin Zhuangtou is not stupid. In the past few years, the princess often comes to the farm and is often alone with Mr. Cui. There is harmony between the king and his ministers, and naturally there are other reasons as well. However, the princess is still young and Mr. Cui is not yet an adult, so there are some things that no one has said clearly.

Lin Zhuangtou responded while turning his head.

It was nearly noon and the sun was shining brightly. A pair of young men and women stood at the edge of the field, facing each other, smiling at each other. This picture is extremely pleasing to the eye.

……

Jiang Shaohua looked at Cui Du with a smile.

Cui Du also smiled and stared at Jiang Shaohua.

"After more than half a year of separation, you have grown taller." Jiang Shaohua said with a casual smile: "You have tanned a lot again. If this continues, this fair and handsome face may be completely tanned."

Cui Du shrugged: "There's nothing I can do about it. I'm busy in the fields all day long and exposed to wind and sun. No matter how well I take care of it, it will slowly turn black."

I think back then, all his classmates were dark-skinned, and the female classmates were no exception.

Jiang Shaohua heard this interestingly and laughed: "It doesn't matter if you get tanned. Darker looks more masculine."

Cui Du confidently accepted the princess's comfort and praise: "I think so too."

Chen Jinyu on the side twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and quietly winked at Ma Yaozong. Ma Yaozong understood and quietly stepped away from Chen Jinyu.

As for Qin Hu, Meng Sanbao and other personal guards, they had already dispersed. Maintain a distance that can protect the master's safety without affecting the master's speech.

Jiang Shaohua never paid attention to such trivial details. Cui Du was a little uncomfortable at first, but after a few years, he has become accustomed to Jiang Shaohua having a bunch of personal guards behind him.

The guards remained silent and did not approach, just like the crops in the distance, they could be ignored.

There were people around, and in Cui Du's eyes, everything was dark. Only the Jiang Shaohua in front of him was vivid and vivid, occupying all his sight: "The princess has been in the capital for so long, a lot of things must have happened." Jiang Shaohua often wrote letters back to the palace on weekdays, but most of them were written to Chen Feng. Two chief historians, three commanders of the Guards Battalion and General Yu of the Nanyang Army. Speaking of which, I have never written a letter to Cui Du.

Cui Du didn't have any complaints or dissatisfaction. He is an official of the royal palace and a subject of the princess, and he has some personal friendships. However, it is still far away from what he really wants!

"A lot of things did happen." Jiang Shaohua picked out some things he could talk about, such as the several contests with Prime Minister Wang, the closeness with Empress Dowager Zheng, and gaining the trust of the emperor, etc.

Cui Du listened intently and praised from time to time: "The princess is really amazing!"

"The princess is so powerful and powerful!"

Jiang Shaohua laughed at the praise: "It's not that powerful. In the final analysis, it's nothing more than using power to bully others and use your strength to maneuver around. More importantly, Nanyang County has more food and soldiers, so I have enough qualifications and confidence."

"Yan County was the first to report the locust plague, and I presented new grains without saying a word. Later, two more counties reported the locust plague to the court. The Ministry of Revenue came to lend me grain, and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue personally gave me two IOUs. In this way, won’t my waist become straighter?”

"At least half of this is your fault."

Cui Du was pleased to hear this and grinned: "Even if I have some merit, it is not as much as the princess said. At most, it is twenty-three out of ten. The government of Nanyang County is friendly to people, and the princess is far-sighted, generous-minded, sympathizes with the people, and spares no effort to help the people." Promote new grains. Only with the princess can Nanyang County be what it is today."

Jiang Shaohua laughed: "We haven't seen each other for several months, how can you learn to flatter me?"

Cui Du stretched out his hand and made a gesture of digging out his heart and lungs: "I wish I could take out my heart and let the princess have a look. I only have the princess in my heart."

Jiang Shaohua was amused and laughed out loud: "Who did you learn from to be so exaggerated?"

"Being with the Lushe people every day, I more or less learned a little bit about how to be a minister." Cui Du said with a low smile.

Jiang Shaohua smiled again.

The Lushe people have been in the officialdom for several years, and they have become quiet again. They cherish this hard-won job and opportunity more and more. Among the three sacrificial people, the sincerity in doing things is also outstanding.

With the eyesight of a Lushe person, he naturally knows the value and weight of Cui Du. On weekdays, I try my best to be friendly. Cui Du was not a hard-hearted person. He was on guard at first, but as time went by, he got closer to the Lushe people.

"There is still one month left before we can harvest corn." Jiang Shaohua asked: "How much more can this year's harvest be than last year?"

Cui Du replied in a very confident tone: "The yield per acre can be increased by at least 20%."

Jiang Shaohua's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly held Cui Du's hand: "Can it really be 20%?"

Cui Du's heart felt hot, but when he saw the brilliant light in Jiang Shaohua's black eyes, he quickly calmed down.

In the eyes of the princess, he is an extremely important minister. He can grow new grains, increase grain production, and satisfy the people. With more food, the princess can free up her hands to do more things.

She held his hand just like she held the hand of Chen Changshi, Feng Changshi or Cai County Magistrate Chen County Magistrate Ma County Magistrate. There is no love between men and women, and there is no shyness at all.

"At least 20%."

Cui Du replied seriously: "The sweet potatoes are growing well this year, and the yield must be higher than last year. This year, all of Nanyang County has planted corn and sweet potatoes, and many wastelands have been opened. When the autumn harvest comes, the princess will wait and see. , Every household’s grain store is full. Even the Taiping granary in the 14 counties can’t hold it.”
