Borrow the day to change the day

A soldier behind the gate saw two big men standing at the gate, hurried out to greet them, and then stood aside respectfully.

"Marquis Zhongxing, the Agricultural Research Institute used the words you said. According to the officials, the co-author should be called Shennongyuan." Xu Guangqi said to Zhong Jinwei with a smile.

Zhong Jinwei was a little embarrassed when he heard it, and he was just talking according to the habits of later generations.

If you really want to choose a good name and bring out the source, you really can't spell these ancient people.

Unexpectedly, Xu Guangqi continued: "I just think the five words of the Agricultural Research Institute are easy to understand, so I used these five words. This dynasty needs a pragmatic attitude to do things too!"

He feels that most of his colleagues in the DPRK and China only know how to fight with each other. Although it is better now, Xu Guangqi still feels that pragmatism is what is most needed at present.

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He thought Xu Guangqi chose this name because he was concerned about his identity and wanted to please him.

But whether there is such a meaning in it, except for Xu Guangqi, no one knows.

"Master Xu, it's getting dark, take me in to have a look." Zhong Jinwei said to Xu Guangqi seeing that it was almost dusk.

Xu Guangqi nodded slightly, and gestured towards the door: "Marquis Zhongxing, please."

Zhong Jinwei was also polite and went in directly.Otherwise, it's already dark if you don't enter the door. This is not a pragmatic attitude.

After entering the door, there is a land of several acres in front of you, with some plants planted, but no one is seen.

On the left side is a row of houses, only two or three houses have light through the window paper.

The guard followed behind the big man, and wanted to call him out to meet him, but was stopped by Xu Guangqi.

It's getting dark, and after a ceremony, you can't see anything.

Standing on the right side of Zhong Jinwei, Xu Guangqi saw Zhongxing Hou looking at the scene inside, so he introduced it to him: "Everything has just begun, and it is very simple. Zhongxing Hou, please look here."

When Xu Guangqi said this, he pointed to the several acres of tunnels and said, "I just planted some things, including the sweet potato seedlings. It's over there. Why don't you go and have a look at it, Marquis Zhongxing?"

Zhong Jinwei shook his head, it was almost dark today, so why go to see it.

Fortunately, they were close. Although Xu Guangqi was old, he could still see Zhong Jinwei shaking his head.

He also knew that the light was too dark now, and the Agricultural Research Institute was only established, and it was indeed very simple, without even a torch.

Xu Guangqi stopped insisting, and pointed to the row of houses and said: "Over there are experienced old farmers who were found around the capital, and they will take care of this side. In addition, an official was transferred from the Ministry of Industry to manage this place. If something happened, the old farmers would report it to the officials for records, and the officials would send the records to the officials for review every other month."

At this time, in those bright places, someone heard voices and went out with an oil lamp in hand to check for movement.When the guard behind Xu Guangqi saw it, he hurried forward and said something in a low voice.

When the person who came out heard it, the oil lamp in his hand shook, and he turned around and went back to the house.

In the blink of an eye, five more people came out of the house, the leader was still the one with the lamp, and walked over quickly.

When they got close, Zhong Jinwei discovered that they were five old men, who should be the experienced old farmers that Xu Guangqi said.

I saw five old people knelt on the ground and shouted, "Caomin pay respects to Zhongxinghou and Xu Shangshu."

Zhong Jinwei hurriedly stepped forward to support the person closest to him and said, "Get up, old men, you don't need to be so polite."

Xu Guangqi thought it was normal, but seeing what Zhong Jinwei said, he followed suit and said, "Get up."

Although the five old farmers couldn't see the facial expressions of the two adults clearly because it was getting dark, they still had no problem hearing the voice, so they stood up.

There was still wind outside the house, blowing the oil lamps flickering.

Zhong Jinwei already had some ideas in his mind after observing and listening to Xu Guangqi's introduction.At that moment, he turned to Xu Guangqi and said, "Master Xu, shall we go into the house to talk?"

Xu Guangqi only said that it was too late today, and Zhongxing Hou might not be able to say anything after reading it, so he planned to wait until tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Zhongxing invited him into the house to talk, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed.Under the leadership of the old farmer, he entered the house with the oil lamp on.

The house was intact, but there was not much furniture inside, only some tables and chairs, and there were curtains leading to the other rooms. Zhong Jinwei reckoned that it was a place for several old farmers to rest.

At the invitation of Zhong Jinwei, several old farmers also sat on the stools on one side, looking at the two adults sitting at the table, looking very reserved.

After Zhong Jinwei looked around, he asked Xu Guangqi a little strangely: "Master Xu, didn't you say there is another official?"

"Oh, it should be that we had gone home before we came." Xu Guangqi replied.

Seeing Zhong Jinwei's frown, Xu Guangqi looked around again, and explained again with a thought: "Tomorrow there will be a group of handymen, all of whom are strong and healthy, and they can help them."

When Zhong Jinwei heard it, it was almost the same, but he still had something to say: "Master Xu, I have some suggestions for this Agricultural Research Institute."

"Oh, please tell me, Marquis Zhongxing." Xu Guangqi looked at Zhong Jinwei and said seriously.

"I guess this Agricultural Research Institute was founded by you based on your own experience in planting at home, isn't it?" Zhong Jinwei asked Xu Guangqi through the dim light.

Xu Guangqi was slightly taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhongxing Hou to ask such a question.But he immediately nodded and said: "That's exactly the case, so I asked Zhongxing Hou to come over and give pointers."

Zhong Jinwei didn't say his suggestion immediately, he turned his head and asked the five old farmers: "Old man, are you literate?"

When the five old farmers heard this, they quickly stood up and shook their heads. One of them replied, "We are illiterate."

Zhong Jinwei nodded after hearing this, then turned around and asked Xu Guangqi, "Do the officials transferred by Mr. Xu know about farming?"

Xu Guangqi was already confused by Zhong Jinwei's question, and replied mechanically: "I probably don't understand very well."

Zhong Jinwei understood everything, he saw that he and Xu Guangqi were here, and the five old farmers were very nervous, so he stood up and said to Xu Guangqi: "Master Xu, how about we find a place to have dinner and talk while eating? "

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he stood up and said, "Why don't you go to my house for dinner?"

Zhong Jinwei didn't feel any psychological burden when he heard the meal with a famous historical celebrity, so he agreed immediately.

Arriving at Xu's mansion, after being courteous and having dinner, Xu Guangqi led Zhong Jinwei to his study to discuss matters.

Zhong Jinwei was also quite curious about Xu Guangqi's study. After he entered, he looked around.

To his disappointment, Xu Guangqi's study was not much different from ordinary people's study. There were no scientific instruments as he imagined, but there was one thing hanging on the wall that aroused his curiosity.

At this time, Xu Guangqi moved him to the coffee table and sat down respectively, while the maid who came after served tea and retreated.

Only then did Zhong Jinwei point to the portrait on the wall and said, "It turns out that Mr. Xu really believes in this?"
