(MTL) The Story of a Cold Male Supporting Husband by Huajian Xiaopao

Chapter 48

The news that the imperial envoy was going to Pinghuai Town to meet the imperial envoy went out of the county with the imperial envoy's frame, and also spread.

Most of the rich squires didn't know what the emperor sent to a small town of Pinghuai. Only a few good families who were sitting at the top of the county government got the gossip, saying that there was a family in Pinghuai town. The Baogu seeds are very good, maybe they can catch the eyes of the imperial envoy.

These families are all shrewd, and as soon as they heard the news, they immediately made all kinds of plans.

After Ye Yuanxian and Xie Yifeng went home, they first planted the sweet potato greens they bought in the sandy soil with more fertile soil, and then asked Lao Hei to take Xie Yi and the others to replant the land where Baogu was planted.

They planned to plant another crop of corn, but because the previous crop had been planted, many diseases would occur during the second crop, and Ye Yuanxian made preparations for disease resistance in advance.

The well-cultivated land is sprinkled with a thick layer of plant ash. Plant ash can be used as fertilizer to grow crops, and it can also kill insect eggs and bacteria in the soil and prevent pests and diseases from repeated planting.

After the previous Baogu recorded the growth and harvest, 70% of the Baogu was taken by the county government at the market price and taken to the county to be handed over to the imperial envoy for inspection.

The other 30% is left to them to handle on their own.

Because the yield of their planting is really high, the 30% is enough for more than 600 catties, and only 30 to 40 catties are enough for seeds. The leftovers are also very good to be ground into bread to make bread valley noodles.

The Xie family has a lot of livestock and donkeys and horses together, and they turned over seven acres of land in less than a day. The three of Chunlai took a large sieve to roughly sifted the grass and tree ash, and then lifted it to the ground with a wooden shovel.

The village chief Wang came to the door as soon as he was done, and his attitude was very polite: "Two gentlemen, can the family affairs be settled properly?"

Naturally, he asked about the Zhao family.

Ye Yuan nodded leisurely, his attitude could not be said to be warm: "It's all right, what's the important thing for the village chief to come?"

Village Chief Wang didn't mind his cold attitude at all. Knowing that the two of them didn't like to go around in circles, he smiled directly: "I took the liberty to disturb me today to ask for some corn seeds.

" Every summer, every family grows sweet potatoes and sorghum. Every year is considered a heavy crop, and the yield has been reduced a lot. In addition, there have been worms in the fields in recent years, which can not be killed with grass ash. The sweet potatoes were all rotten by the worms."

Village Chief Wang lowered his tone and sighed one after another: "Those dug up and eaten by worms can't be stored for long. Sweet potatoes are the village's winter ration, so everyone has to eat dried sweet potatoes for the whole winter. Live."

Insect-eaten and damaged sweet potatoes can't be eaten for a while and can only be sliced ​​and sun-dried, but sun-dried sweet potatoes are okay to eat once in a while, and eating them every day is really a sin.

"I heard from the yamen officers in the county that it takes more food to feed people than sweet potatoes, so I took the courage to come here. Even if the yield of the corn is not high, it should be replaced on the ground, which is completely different from the seeds. It's related."

After saying that, Village Chief Wang looked at the two of them with anticipation, and everything he said was true, and Jiujieworm has indeed caused headaches for the villagers in recent years.

Ye Yuanxian knew that the worms were slender and sharp like a toothpick, and their bodies were covered with hard shells. They liked to burrow into the sweet potato cores, which could indeed cause a large reduction in sweet potato production.

But what does all this have to do with them? Wouldn't the village chief Wang think that they have any special feelings for the people in this wandering village? Ye Yuanxian smiled sarcastically.

Seeing that Ye Yuanxian and Xie Yifeng didn't show much emotion on their faces, Village Chief Wang knew that the two of them didn't like to be miserable, so he put out his thoughts of selling misery: "Of course, I know that the two It is not easy for you to plant these corns, and if there are any excess seeds, I am willing to buy them at a price that is 30% higher than the market price, what do you think?"

This Wang village chief is a distant branch of the Wang family in the county town, and he used to follow his own family when he was a child. My grandmother studied in the family school, and she speaks and does things more smoothly than the former Li Shihu, and it is easy to make people feel good.

His remarks made the face project to the extreme, and even Ye Yuanxian wanted to praise him as a talent.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Village Chief Wang was stunned and continued to lobby: "I will carefully follow the meaning of the two in the future distribution of this kind of seed, and I will definitely not share with those talkative people, who have obtained seeds and others. I will also make them feel very grateful, and there will be no more confusing things, what do you two think?"

The village chief Wang also knew that this trip today would not be easy, but who made it possible that only the grains grown by the Xie family in these eight townships had good yields? What's more, the grain seeds in the villages and towns of other people have been robbed early, where can it be their turn to come from outsiders?

Under the expectant and eager gaze of Village Chief Wang, Ye Yuanxian nodded slowly: "Yes, but it's up to me to decide who to sell to."

Village Chief Wang choked, and then nodded: "Of course, the two of you. I don't have any other opinions."

Ye Yuanxian and Xie Yifeng looked at each other, and quickly picked out the candidates in their minds, among them Li Shihu let people destroy the young crops. The old man's family who spoke for the Xie family was quite senior and the family who came to help when the Zhao family was besieged that day.

Seeing that the person he selected was the same as the one he had in his heart, Village Chief Wang was both relieved and regretful. He was relieved that the two did not remember any old grudges at all. Unfortunately, he had offended people a lot before, and now he wants to fix it. It is also more difficult.

That's it. Village Chief Wang sighed softly. What are the identities of the two of them? It would be the best result if they didn't turn around to take revenge on the village. Now that they are willing to share one or two points of the benefits for the villagers, it is the greatest good fortune. What they have to do now is to seize this two-point creation and live a good life as much as possible.

At dinner time, village chief Wang asked people to leave with 100 catties of corn seeds. Under the setting sun, a plump pigeon landed in the Xie family's yard.

It was news from the martial arts hall that the imperial minister was going to visit their house.

"Yuan Xian, what are you looking at again?" Xie Yifeng, who had returned from a set of punches, was wiping his sweat, and when he saw that he was holding a note in his hand, he stepped forward and asked.

Ye Yuanxian showed him the note in his hand: "The news from the martial arts hall states that the Japanese imperial commissioner is coming, do you know his purpose?"

Xie Yifeng pondered: "I have nothing to do with this imperial commissioner . There are too many intersections, I only know that although he is a lustful person, he is not greedy, and he has never done anything unethical, so it is barely considered usable."

Ye Yuan was puzzled: "Then why did he call for a name to come to see him? You?"

Xie Yifeng sighed, a cluster of flames from his fingertips burned the note clean: "I'm afraid it's not this imperial commissioner, but the current sage." The

morning light spread out like a flame . , the guard of honor of the imperial envoy came to Youluo Village in a mighty manner, and finally stopped at the door of Xie's family.

The county magistrate headed by himself knocked on the door of Xie's house and brought people in.

"Two adults, please." Chunlai and others rarely put on uniform clothes representing the Xie family, and painted appropriate makeup to set off the host family's attention to the guests.

It's just that the two masters are still not seen.

When the county magistrate opened his mouth to scold, he was swallowed by the imperial envoy at a glance, so the two walked in according to the lead of Chunlai.

Some of the others stayed outside the yard, while others followed along to serve. The only people who were brought into the courtyard by Chunlai were the county magistrate and the imperial envoy.

"Two people please!" After Chunlai invited people into the courtyard again, he bowed and retired.

A large peach tree was planted in the courtyard. Under the peach tree, two young men dressed in white and black were drinking tea. After hearing the movement, they turned around to look at the people at the door together.

The two of them are said to be people with excellent looks and temperament, and they are like immortals born against the background of such a scene.

The county magistrate was in a daze and suddenly forgot the question he was about to export, and the imperial commissioner beside him responded much faster than him. in front of the two.

I just heard the imperial commissioner say: "My son has seen your father."

Your father? what king father? The county magistrate was confused.

And Xie Yifeng, the capable warlock in his eyes and the current head of the Xie family, looked at the imperial commissioner with kindness under his astonished eyes: "This is my partner, just call him uncle.

" Seeing that the imperial commissioner simply buckled his head three times: "I have seen my uncle in Ming and Qing Dynasties."

"Get up!" Ye Yuanxian took out two jade pendants from his arms and handed them to the "imperial minister": "This jade pendant can protect you. Be safe, just treat it as a greeting."

Ming and Qing thanked him again before he got up from the ground.

Ye Yuanxian finally saw his face clearly, he looked like he was only about twenty years old, his facial features were straight and his eyes were clear, and he looked like a younger generation with a good temperament.

As soon as Ming and Qing sat down, he couldn't wait to ask Xie Yifeng: "Where has your father been for half a year, is your body still healthy? The secret guards under my command are all hard-fought, and it took a long time to find your father. A little bit of news."

Ming and Qing said these words with respect in their eyes, and there was no half-truth in their sincerity.

Having said that, the smile on Xie Yifeng's face faded a little: "I lost the news, is there any change in the court these days?"

Ming Qing nodded: "The Ji family and the Yue family are both unstable, the child has already grasped their movements, just waiting to find out. It will be removed in one fell swoop when the time is right."

Xie Yifeng patted his shoulder admiringly: "I was injured that day. It didn't matter at first, but I was plotted against me. When I wake up, I will think about it. The person who plotted against me was clearly a member of the army.

" Fighting against the barbarians, the Ji family and the Yue family were among the people who followed him in the end.

Although he had heard Xie Yifeng say that his health was fine, Ming and Qing were still worried: "My father is suffering, I don't know how the injury is, and I need some medicinal materials to be delivered immediately."

Xie Yifeng chuckled: "You Don't worry, my health is fine. And this incident is also a happy event for me, I found your uncle by fate when I lived here." The

three sat under the peach tree to reminisce about the old days, leaving only the county magistrate alone. Standing at the door, he was stiff and speechless, as if he had weathered into a stone.

Who can tell him why a well-behaved imperial commissioner kneels and buckles his head against the two warlocks under his jurisdiction. Is his black gauze hat going to be lost?
