Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 222 Wuzhou People

On the first day we arrived in Wuzhou, it snowed heavily.

Mei Qian and the others had just arrived in Wuzhou, and they had not arranged to go to the military camp. After entering the city and arranging a small second courtyard, Mei Qian had to stay in the cold for many days because of the heavy snow.

It's just that the second courtyard seems a lot bigger because there are only Mei Qian and Lingjiao.

Just sweeping the snow in the snow is no small job. After Qi Zhen found out, he sent a few sweepers to Mei Qian.

Mei Qian's pressure to support her family increased sharply.

Lingjiao was also promoted to the position of housekeeper by Mei Qian. Frightened, Lingjiao refused repeatedly, saying that he was not capable yet, but Mei Qian pushed him down.

"You can't go to school. Don't you plan to be my maid all your life? When you get older, I will hire younger and more energetic people to do the work."

While Mei Qian persuaded Ling Jiao to study further, she also threatened that she would no longer want Ling Jiao when he got older. This frightened Ling Jiao so much that she immediately promised that she would study hard.

Therefore, when Qi Zhen sent Chang'an to inform Mei Qian to go see some officials in Wuzhou, Chang'an saw Ling Jiao being read and read by Mei Qian.

Strangely, Mei Qian taught a little maid how to read and write.

Chang'an thought this, but he didn't show it on his face.

Qi Zhen's temporary residence in Wuzhou was the Yamen, and Mei Qian and the other counselors were arranged in the alley behind the Yamen.

After receiving the order, Mei Qian calmly picked up a Tang Pozi and took it to the government office.

As soon as she entered, she saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man. Behind him was a young man who looked familiar to Mei Qian, but she confirmed that he was a young general she had never seen before.

"This is Mr. Liang Pingliang. He also took over the general affairs of Wuzhou."

Mei Qian hugged Mrs. Tang and sat down next to a counselor named Jin Yan who was familiar with her.

The other party informed Mei Qian of the strange face that appeared here.

"If we don't go to the military camp later, we will probably have to work under this adult."

"Can we still go to the military camp?"

Mei Qian was stunned, never having thought of such a thing.

"Of course, Mr. Chu is here in Wuzhou, and his talent and learning are beyond our comparison."

This is not the first time Mei Qian has heard the name of the counselor named Chu Ji.

It is said that this person was brought out by Qi Zhen from Luoling. After defeating the Western Rong soldiers in Wuzhou in the central part of the country, he has been helping Qi Zhen to control Wuzhou.

Now that Qi Zhen is back again, although Mei Qian doesn't know what the governance situation in Wuzhou was like before, she only feels that the governance situation in Wuzhou is really good.

Although Mr. Liang, who is currently in the meeting hall, deserves a lot of credit for this, no one dares to speak out about Chu Ji's role in it.

"Besides, even if we go, we won't be able to get ahead, right?"

Jin Yan felt that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, but Mei Qian glanced at Liang Ping over there and felt that this city in Wuzhou was not a chicken head, right?
When the time comes, you still have to listen to the words of the people above.

People who are incompetent will never get ahead anywhere.

"Whether it's going to the military camp or handling rear affairs here in Wuzhou, just do what you should do, and you will be appreciated if you do it well."

Mei Qian said this perfunctorily.

"That's right, no matter where we are, we just have to do our own thing."

Jin Yan knew that Mei Qian wanted to go to the military camp. Seeing that Mei Qian was so calm, he couldn't help but have some concerns in his heart.

Mei Qian can go out with the army as a young lady, and she can say a few words on whether it is some common affairs or military affairs.

Obviously she didn't understand a lot when she first started.

Mei Qian's progress has been noticed by many people.

After Mei Qian entered the meeting hall, she paid attention to Liang Ping and Su Jingkang. The young man was still a little concerned about other people's eyes.

So he whispered to Liang Ping beside him and asked: "Uncle, what does that woman over there do? Why is she here?"

"She is the prince's adviser. Part of Zui Xing's plan to sabotage the peace talks came from her."

As for the rest, everyone understands it.

"That's it." The young man nodded, indicating that he understood.

At this time, Mei Qian also paid attention to Su Jingkang, and asked Jin Yan out of curiosity: "Brother Zimei, I would like to ask, who is the young general following Master Liang? He looks quite impressive."

"Ah, it's Mr. Xiao Su."

"Xiao Su?"

"Master Xiao Su's father, Master Su, was trying to resist the Xirong march south, and finally died for his country along with the people in the city."

and the people in the city.

These words exploded in Mei Qian's ears.

"Did...the city be massacred?"

"Ah."

Mei Qian took another look at the young man and quickly turned away. The hatred of the country and the family, did she finally choose such a path?
While a group of people were chattering in the meeting hall, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.

Mei Qian and everyone else immediately fell silent and looked towards the door.

Mei Qian saw Qi Zhen and a handsome young man in white walking in.

When Mei Qian followed everyone and saluted, she knew that the counselor in white was the Chu Ji that Jin Yan had just mentioned.

The moment Chu Ji came in, his eyes fell on Mei Qian. In surprise, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Qi Zhen in front of him.

Qi Zhen and the others didn't make many greetings after they came in. They just asked the people who had just settled in Wuzhou in the past few days if there was anything they were not used to.

Mei Qian and others only said that everything was fine, so everyone got down to business.

The first was Liang Ping, who sorted out all the general affairs in Wuzhou since his arrival, including the spring planting plan for the coming year, finances and other matters.

Mei Qian just stared at the other person's empty hands to show her shock.

Having said so much, do you really need to write it down on paper?
Even Qi Zhen, who was listening to him, didn't need to. Occasionally he would interrupt and ask questions.

After the person finished talking, he asked some more questions based on what the other person had said before.

There was no distraction at all.

No matter how many times she watched this scene, Mei Qian still admired Qi Zhen and the people who worked under Qi Zhen.

"Mei Qian found a batch of rare grain seeds called sweet potatoes.

Some of them were kept in Zuixing for trial planting, and I sent some to Luoling, and a lot of them were kept in Wuzhou for trial planting.

Later, Mei Qian, remember to communicate with Mr. Liang about trying to plant sweet potatoes in spring. "

When her name was suddenly called, and it was about sweet potatoes, Mei Qian responded in a serious manner.

Everyone inexplicably heard about a new crop called "sweet potato" and couldn't help asking what kind of crop it was.

Mei Qian and Qi Zhen looked at each other, and with the other's consent, Mei Qian opened her mouth to tell some information about Hongshu.

Everyone was in disbelief when they learned that the sweet potatoes did not pick the land and could produce thousands of pounds per acre.

"We will know when the autumn harvest next year comes. It happens that Zuixing, Wuzhou and Luoling have different topography and climate. Then we can take a look at the sweet potato yield results in the three places."

Mei Qian didn't beep with the crowd and said directly that she didn't believe it and would wait until next fall.

Seeing Mei Qian's vow, many people couldn't help but feel dubious.

Chu Ji, on the other hand, had sat there and listened for a long time without saying a word, but now he smiled and said, "If we really have a thousand catties per mu, that will be a blessing to our country."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Mei Qian with his eyes wandering and said with a smile: "I see that Mei Qian is smart and astute. It just so happens that there is a lack of a chief clerk in the army. Why don't Mei Qian just follow me to the army?"

Mei Qian instantly felt like she was hit by a gift package dropped from the sky.

Although what the other party just said was a bit strange, and she didn't know how this person could tell that she was smart after they met just once, but since the other party gave her the opportunity to join the army, how could she not seize it? !
Moreover, the chief registrar already has an official position!

Su Jingkang and Liang Ping are both related to the Yuan family.

The reason why Mei Qian looks familiar to Su Jingkang is her nephew Uncle Xiao.

Chu Ji should become Mei Qian’s teacher in the future~
