The farm has a phoenix

Chapter 176 Vegetable Yield Problem

Di Qiao looked up at her grandmother, feeling a little sad in her heart. Before Zhan Jinfeng came, her grandmother still loved her the same.

She looked down at the shining golden gem on her neck, feeling both happy and resentful.

Seeing this, Mother Di said, "Qiao'er, your third sister didn't come home until she was 15 years old. Grandmother will give them some compensation no matter what. Grandmother has already prepared this golden gem, and she plans to return it to our house." When Sister Di got married, each of them gave one to each other. Grandmother liked you for marrying well, but she didn't expect you to insist on entering the palace, so I can only give you this thing now!"

Hearing this, Di Qiao's tears flowed out, and the resentment towards Di's mother has been reduced a lot.

"It's okay. Concubine Yu Gui is still in the palace. She will definitely help you. Just walk in with your head held high. Remember not to play your temper in front of others until you become famous. Only by restraining yourself can you go further. !"

Di Qiao nodded while crying, Di mother sighed, stretched out her arms and hugged her into her arms.

"Good boy, don't cry, grandma knows that you are doing it for grandma and Difu, you children are suffering."

When Di Qiao heard the words, she couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Di's mother tightly and cried loudly.

Entering the Department of Agricultural Affairs for the first time

After going to court on the second day, Chen You'an was waiting for her outside the palace. The two were going to the Department of Agricultural Affairs. Chen Shaoyan and Ye Laogui were directly called to the study by the emperor, so she had to leave first.

When the carriage passed by the gate of the palace, you could see a lot of women outside, all of them were clear beauties, and the clothes on their bodies were also gorgeous and beautiful. , It's just to choose a few concubines for Chunyu Yue. Although she doesn't hate it, she can't arouse her interest.

Chen You'an was holding a book for her to stick to the various rules and regulations of the Agricultural Affairs Department, and Zhan Jinfeng listened to it. It was the first time he joined the Agricultural Affairs Department, and he was a girl. To be on the safe side, it's better to understand it thoroughly.

But she was not stupid enough to just go to the Department of Agricultural Affairs empty-handed. Those who should be bribed still had to be bribed.

The car slowly stopped outside the Department of Agricultural Affairs, Chen You'an accepted the rules and regulations, stepped out of the carriage first, and then helped her down respectfully.

Although she was a woman, there was no women's official robe in history, so she had to wear the official robe of the Secretary of Agriculture, which was one size smaller, and put on a pipe cap, and slowly got off the carriage.

The Department of Agricultural Affairs is located in the east of the imperial palace, very close to the Earth Altar. On the stone pier at the entrance stands Xuanwu, a vermilion high gate, and two guards stand at the entrance. Apart from that, there is no one around, and it looks a bit desolate. .

Zhan Jinfeng looked around, the Department of Agricultural Affairs took up quite a lot of land, but it was not a yamen after all, so it would definitely not be too lively.

She walked in slowly, and Chen You'an took the things she wanted to bribe, passed through the gate, and then through the Yimen Gate, and passed through an empty marble square, which was the main hall of the Agricultural Affairs Department. There was no one in the main hall, Only the tables and chairs for discussion were placed neatly, so she had to detour around the various branches to find her own hall, then adjusted her hat and walked in slowly.

In the small hall, sat an old man, about the same age as Chen Youan, thin and thin, with his head down, not knowing what he was writing, so she had no choice but to go forward and salute: "My lord, the next official is here to take office today."

The person who was writing quickly stopped writing, raised his head, and looked her up and down.

"Are you the lady officer?"

Zhan Jinfeng replied cautiously: "Yes, my subordinate Zhan Jinfeng."

The old man looked at her from foot to head again, and asked, "Do you know how to farm?"

"will not!"

"Can you read the weather and understand the solar terms?"

"don't know."

The old man shut his mouth, his expression was rather displeased: "Then what will you do? The Agriculture Department is not a place for idle food, we are a place for ordinary people to have a meal!"

Zhan Jinfeng smiled and replied: "My lord, I have prepared some small gifts." Then she took the revenge from Chen You'an, opened it, and there were a bunch of small bundles inside. She picked up a small bundle and put it on the old man. On the desk in front of you.

The old man's frowning brows became a word of Chuan, and he said in a deep voice: "You are so bold, you dare to bribe me!"

Zhan Jinfeng wasn't angry, nor did he try to defend himself, he just opened up the burden layer by layer with a smile on his face, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

It wasn't until the bag was opened, revealing the ginseng fruit inside, that the boss widened his eyes in surprise, and stared straight at the tender fruit.

"This..." He pointed at the ginseng fruit, but his eyes were on Zhan Jinfeng.

"This is planted by the lower official himself, and it is a branch bestowed by the emperor. Take it here and give it to our adults in the Agricultural Affairs Department!"

Hearing that it was planted from the seeds bestowed by the emperor, the old man trembled, and walked out from behind the desk first. He chatted about his robe and kowtowed three times towards the west. Old tears.

Almost with a respectful attitude, he carefully put away the ginseng fruit.

"Old man Zheng Weishuang, just call me Master Zheng!"

Zhan Jinfeng nodded with a smile.

Mr. Zheng pointed to the two rows of desks that were empty on both sides, and said: "The desks in the far corner over there are yours. You can't sit around on weekdays. Now these adults are running around, very busy."

The implication was that she was at leisure, and Zhan Jinfeng didn't take it seriously, just nodded and walked over with Chen Youan.

Everyone brought the little book boy, and I brought the old book boy, obviously Zheng Weishuang was quite disdainful, staring at Chen Youan's attentive back, his eyes seemed to be looking at a big sister who took off her clothes and ran wildly in the street, Chen Youan seemed to notice Zheng Weishuang's gaze, Turning his head and smiling politely at others, he continued to clean up for Zhan Jinfeng. After cleaning up, Zhan Jinfeng sat down to familiarize himself with his work, Chen Youan made a pot of good tea with a smile, poured a cup for Zhan Jinfeng first, and then took his time Holding the teapot, he walked to Zheng Weishuang's side, saluted and persuaded him to make tea.

“This is the best pre-rain in the south!”

Zheng Weishuang didn't postpone it. The two of them were about the same age, both liked to drink tea, and they had both lived in the countryside. Naturally, they gradually chatted together. Said: "Why do you want to be inferior to a woman, sir, willing to be a cow and a horse?"

Chen You'an then smiled, pinched his beard and said, "My lord, don't judge people by their appearance. Although our lord is young and a woman, her official position is handpicked by the emperor. If she is an unmarried woman, it may be because the emperor wants to please her. Now that she is already married, it must be because she has real talents!"

This made Zheng Weishuang quite puzzled. He asked just now, this woman can neither farm the land nor look at the sky. What is she capable of that makes so many people value her so much?
Then he glanced at the ginseng fruit on the table and said, "Is it because of this?"

Chen You'an just laughed, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not just because of this, but..." He blinked deliberately and mysteriously: "There is only one ginseng fruit tree in the world, but our adults can pay the emperor a catty of ginseng fruit every month." !"

This made the person who was drinking tea with his head down startled for a moment, he raised his head and looked at Chen You'an hesitantly, seeing that there was no joke on his face for a long time, he couldn't help turning his head sideways, and looked at the woman who was seriously reading in the corner.

Is it fresh-keeping technology?It's true that you don't need to know how to farm the land, and you don't need to look at the weather, but this is more important than any of them!

If the vegetables in the common people's homes can not rot or deteriorate, then even in a famine year, the common people will have fresh things to eat, right?
Zheng Weishuang became more and more surprised. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the little girl in front of him was extraordinary. It could even be said that she was simply incredible and so important!

Farming has been the foundation of a country since ancient times, but natural disasters and man-made disasters are hard to prevent. Food is okay, but fresh vegetables and fruits are the biggest problem. If this is the case, it will really solve the big problem!
Doesn't this mean that you can eat fresh vegetables all year round!

He couldn't help laughing, and felt that the drink before the rain was more and more delicious.

"Good, good tea, really good tea!"

Chen Youan pinched his beard and laughed out loud.

But when Zhan Jinfeng raised his head again, he found something strange. Mr. Zheng, who had been dismissive of him, now looked at her with a smile on his face. His eyes were quite eager, which made her shiver uncontrollably. Slowly look away.

"Master Zhan, it's noon, it's time to eat!"

Zhan Jinfeng had no choice but to nod, and Chen Youan took out the food box, and everyone had dinner.

After familiarizing herself with a lot of things in the morning, she went out in the afternoon. The Department of Agricultural Affairs is in charge of agricultural affairs. The officials in it perform their own duties and cooperate with each other. Some people specialize in watching the sky and doing calculations, roughly setting the boundaries between famine years and good years. Some people are in charge of water conservancy, others are in charge of drought and natural disasters, etc. Although the Department of Agricultural Affairs is small, it has all the internal organs, and most of the other relevant officials are not in the Department of Agricultural Affairs. During the planting season, most of us travel to places where disasters are severe.

Zhan Jinfeng also planned to take a look. The site he was in charge of was a vegetable field in the outskirts of the capital.

She drove away slowly in the carriage, and when she got there, she realized that this was the vegetable field of Dabai's village.

The vegetables have been sown, and only now are finger-high shoots emerging, each of them growing against the sun, looking very tall and straight.

Although the temperature is warm, they don't grow fast. After all, they can't compare with the things in their own villa.

Because she was wearing an official robe, the surrounding farmers just looked at her and didn't come up to scold her. Everyone knew her official robe, which was the official robe of the Agricultural Affairs Department.

After a while, a fat man came running over, bowed his head and said: "My lord, the local pavilion chief who is laughing, what orders do you have, just give orders to the younger ones."

Zhan Jinfeng nodded slightly, still looking at the seedlings on the ground.
