Chapter 391: Difference (Part )

The princess should really look in the mirror and take a look at herself at this moment. Her pair of black eyes are almost shining.

Chen Changshi smiled and said with a double meaning, "Of course I can trust Mr. Cui's character. But Mr. Cui is very talented. If someone in the court wants to poach him, or if the emperor directly orders Mr. Cui to come to the capital to serve as an official, it will always be troublesome."

"If we want to completely resolve these troubles, we must give Master Cui an identity and reason to stay in Nanyang County forever."

Jiang Shaohua: "..."

Jiang Shaohua looked at Chen Changshi and smiled helplessly: "Chen Changshi, the Chinese New Year is still two months away. After the Chinese New Year, I will only be fourteen years old. It's too early to say these things."

Chen Changshi stroked his beard and laughed, "I just want to remind you, my lady. I have no other intention. Please don't misunderstand me."

The number of reminders is not small.

Jiang Shaohua laughed: "I know this matter well."

Chen Changshi smiled happily, bowed and took his leave, then went to see the fourth son of the Wang family and conveyed the princess's oral instructions: "The hero who planted the new grain is at the farm. The princess is going to inspect the farm. Wang Sheren can go with her."

Wang Jin was suddenly excited when he heard that he could travel with the princess. "Thank you, princess, and thank you, Mr. Chen."

Upon hearing the news, Doctor Tan also insisted on going to the farm together.

In the past two years, the new grain of Nanyang County has been too bright. After seeing the harvest of corn and sweet potatoes in person, Doctor Tan was also very curious about this capable minister hiding in the dark. Of course, Doctor Tan also had the intention of recruiting him privately.

If such a capable minister were willing to join Prime Minister Wang's army, he would be even more powerful.

Jiang Shaohua knew that Doctor Tan wanted to go with him, so he sneered but did not stop him.

When traveling, a slightly embarrassing thing happened again.

Jiang Shaohua was wearing a military uniform and riding a horse, looking very heroic. His personal maidservant and a group of personal guards also rode their own horses.

Doctor Tan got on the carriage with a thick face. Wang Jin was young and naive, and in front of his beloved, he didn't want to lose this man, so he also got on the horse.

Fortunately, the farm was not far away and could be reached in half a day. With Wang Jin's physical strength, he could easily survive half a day.

Jiang Shaohua glanced around and asked politely, "It will take half a day to get to the farm. Can Mr. Wang hold up on horseback?"

Wang Jin immediately smiled and said, "It's no problem to travel half a day. Thank you for your concern, my lady."

Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly and rode forward first.

It was at this moment that Wang Jin discovered that there was a half-grown beast with colorful patterns on the other side of the princess.

"Is this the tiger raised by the princess?" Wang Jin asked without thinking.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said, "Its name is Xiaohua. I have raised it for more than two years. In another year or two, Xiaohua will be an adult."

When Xiaohua heard the princess calling it, it raised its head and cried happily.

The horses were already used to Xiaohua's cry, but Wang Jin's horse was startled and raised its right hoof. Fortunately, the personal soldiers behind him were quick-witted and rushed over to stop the horse's restlessness.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and turned around to glance at the red-faced and embarrassed Fourth Master Wang: "Sheren Wang and Doctor Tan, let's take the carriage together! If we delay any longer, we will miss lunch."

Wang Jin's handsome face turned red with embarrassment, and he responded and went to the carriage. He probably didn't have the face to say anything for the next half day.

Doctor Tan was the most experienced one among them. He pretended not to notice the embarrassment of the fourth son of Wang, and talked about his experiences in Nanyang County along the way. Wang Jin listened absentmindedly, and occasionally looked out. Doctor Tan followed Wang Jin's gaze and looked out, thinking that such a beautiful and heroic girl would have impressed him when he was young. No wonder the fourth son of Wang insisted on coming to Nanyang County despite Prime Minister Wang's obstruction...

At noon, the sun is high and the light is bright.

The farm was in sight. Endless farmland came into view, and farmers were busy working in the fields in groups of three or four. The wind brought a faint scent of soil and winter wheat.

Wang Jin's eyes lit up as he leaned out of the car window to look around. He then excitedly said to Doctor Tan, "These are all excellent farmlands. Look, the winter wheat over there is growing so well."

Wang Jin had never had much to eat since he was young, but this year he left the capital and came to the north for half a year, where he saw the real sufferings of the world. He also learned more about farming than before, and recognized winter wheat at a glance.

Doctor Tan boasted of his civil servant's bearing, calm and unmoved like a mountain, and responded slowly and steadily: "Nanyang County has capable officials who are good at farming, and they have grown new grains with extremely high yields. This winter wheat is also growing better than elsewhere."

"Princess Nanyang's influence in the court is increasing, and her confidence is growing stronger. Ultimately, it all comes from this."

Doctor Tan said, looking at Wang Jin meaningfully: "Today we come to the farm and we will be able to meet this capable official. The fourth young master might as well make friends with him."

Wang Jin sensed something unusual in what he said, and his brows twitched involuntarily: "Doctor Tan is not trying to steal the princess's girl, is he?"

"What the Fourth Young Master said is not right." Doctor Tan said with a leisurely smile: "A good bird chooses the right tree to roost in. In a mere Nanyang County, if one can achieve something, the official rank of the fifth-rank left and right chief secretary is already the highest. A capable minister should have a broader world and a better future."

"Perhaps, this is the opportunity that this capable minister has been waiting for."

Wang Jin frowned and said bluntly: "This is absolutely not allowed. No matter what this minister thinks or does, it is wrong for us to poach people. The princess will promote him or recommend him to the court. In short, we can't do anything and we shouldn't do anything."

Mr. Wang Si's upright temper is very different from that of the Prime Minister!
Doctor Tan smiled dryly: "I was just joking, you don't have to take it to heart."

Wang Jin knew Doctor Tan's character, and he added, "Doctor Tan and I are together today."

This is to prevent him from secretly winning over that capable minister.

Doctor Tan twitched his lips and nodded in agreement.

The carriage suddenly stopped.

"The princess in front has dismounted. Please ask Wang Sheren and Doctor Tan to dismount as well."

Wang Jin immediately responded with a smile and got off the carriage quickly. As soon as he stood still, Wang Jin was shocked by what he saw: "What is this?"

Doctor Tan got off the carriage and was also surprised: "Why is there a white shed here?"

Jiang Shaohua was calm and composed, and smiled slightly, "This shed grows all kinds of vegetables, many fruits that are not available in this season, and some newly cultivated varieties."

Wang Jin was very curious: "It's winter now, the weather is cold, can we still grow vegetables and fruits?"

Doctor Tan was concerned about: "Can I go in and take a look?"

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said, "Since we are here, of course we have to take a closer look." He turned around and ordered, "Go and ask Cui Du to come over."

Cui Du?

It seems that this is the person who contributed greatly to growing new crops.

Doctor Tan and Wang Jin looked at each other.
