"It seems like someone from the imperial capital? An imperial envoy? Isn't that something only in dramas?"
"Imperial envoys are not things, they are officials!"
"Is he the same official as Xiao Yanlang?"
"Probably not, they don't look like good people!"
The imperial envoys were so angry as they listened to these people talking and staring at them as if no one was watching. When Xiao Yanlang got the news and rushed back, what he saw was the imperial envoy who was so angry that he could hardly speak.
them.
To be honest, Xiao Yanlang felt a little bad when he saw the slightly embarrassed imperial envoys. Sure enough, after sorting things out, the tone of voice of those imperial envoys was a bit strange.
"Xiao Yanlang is indeed the official who is most loved by the people. Look at how much the people respect you, so much that even His Majesty doesn't take him seriously. Master Yan, look at the people under your rule.
Do you still know that His Majesty is still here?"
"Your Majesty, this is serious. I just did my duty, but you fellow villagers are too enthusiastic. I can guarantee that all the people in Jiangdong City respect and love our father. It's just that people from the countryside are not very good at expressing themselves, so
That’s why the adults misunderstood.”
"Oh? Really?"
"nature."
Xiaoyanlang had a gentle and polite smile on his face, and just like his whole person, he had no offensive power.
The angry imperial envoys were not so angry anymore. It was just that they were still dissatisfied with Xiao Yanlang's behavior. So in the end, they decided to take Xiao Yanlang back to Beijing to report on their duties.
The first time Cui Qinghe heard about it, he refused.
"I can see that those people have bad intentions, but I don't believe that you can't see it. What if something happens to you in the imperial capital? Those officials have always been duplicitous, and the emperor is even more confused..."
"Banned!"
Xiao Yanlang covered Cui Qinghe's mouth, feeling a little headache. Although this child has behaved more normally in recent years, as a Jianghu man, his contempt for the court and the emperor is still very obvious. Just like this time, his eyes are not clear
You can say disrespectful words with just a blink of an eye.
It's just that Xiao Yanlang has been reading the books of sages since he was a child, and he stepped into the court step by step with the intention of studying literature and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family. He has a natural affection and respect for the emperor.
What's more, if he refuses to report his duties, wouldn't it prove that these imperial envoys have evil intentions?
I also knew that compared with these imperial envoys who were trusted by the emperor, His Majesty would definitely not have that much trust in him as a foreign minister.
"Qinghe, I am a court official and I have to listen to the court's orders. Don't worry, I will come back well. Now is the Qing Dynasty and the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. I have never done anything that goes against my true intention. How can something happen?"
"...Sir, don't fool me. If it was really the Qing Dynasty, how could I have been sold by my parents in the first place? How could the people of Jiangdong starve everywhere before the Lord came? How could the people of other places travel thousands of miles to come here?"
Jiang Dongcheng, asking for a bite of food? You know this, but you still want to lie to me. I am no longer a child."
Xiao Yanlang had an even bigger headache. The older this child gets, the harder it is to deceive him.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yanlang finally revealed his plan.
"I know it is dangerous to go to the capital this time, but the civil policy I have implemented in Jiangdong City for so long has been quite effective. Now the people of Jiangdong can be self-sufficient and will not starve everywhere due to natural or man-made disasters.
.But the people all over the world are still suffering from hunger. We can have enough food and clothing, but there are still many people who cannot."
"Qinghe, I can't ignore it, do you understand?"
Cui Qinghe closed his eyes. How could he not know? His name was obtained by the Lord. Haiyan Heqing, so he was called Qinghe. The Lord wants to make the people all over the world well fed and clothed. This is not wrong. Because
Before him were the suffering people.
However, even Cui Qinghe, who is not familiar with political affairs, knows that the improved seeds planted by the people of Jiangdong City under the guidance of the adults can almost double the harvest! Such improved seeds that can survive the world, once they are carried forward, can be passed down to future generations.
's achievements.
Among those officials, who doesn’t want to pass on to future generations and leave a name in history? Even the aloof emperor wants to be an emperor who can rival the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Such achievements will not be given to adults.
Even if you don't care, you don't have a strong family background, and there are too many people who want a share of the pie. How can you be your opponent?
Seeing that Qinghe was really worried about him, Xiaoyanlang thought about it and gave him a deadline.
"It's the end of October now. From here to the imperial capital, plus the time for my job and the time to go back and forth, I will definitely be able to come back when spring comes and the flowers bloom in March next year."
"Aren't you going to take me with you, sir?"
"I'm not confident about our results. You have to stay here and keep our public policies and fine seeds. I will entrust you with the new crop of spring seeds."
"Your Excellency, you can let other officials do it."
"But only if you follow me all the time, from beginning to end, and know all the processes, only you can ensure that our Jiang Dongcheng is as good as ever."
"But……"
Seeing that Cui Qinghe was still unwilling, Xiaoyanlang smiled slightly and touched the long sword on his waist.
"You have forgotten that I am the best among the six arts of a gentleman, including swordsmanship."
Cui Qinghe was finally persuaded, but finally made it clear.
"If you haven't come back by the time the flowers bloom, I will go to the imperial capital and kill that dog emperor!"
"...Okay, as long as you are happy."
When Xiao Yanlang followed the imperial envoys to leave Jiangdong City for the imperial capital, Changsheng stood behind Cui Qinghe and watched him leave with the people of Jiangdong.
But unlike the smiling people of Jiangdong, Chang Sheng had a sad face. She felt a little uneasy.
At this time, Cui Qinghe suddenly turned around, as if he saw Chang Sheng, his eyes were extremely cold.
Can he see himself?
Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes, but in front of him was no longer the Jiang Dongcheng from five hundred years ago, but a beautiful face. Even though his face was anxious, it was still extremely beautiful. It was a kind of gorgeous and noble beauty.
Oh, it’s Xuejin.
"Xuejin, you..."
Changsheng woke up suddenly, swallowed what he just said, and continued to speak with a natural expression.
"Are you OK?"
"Huh? Did you just call me?"
"Yes, aren't we the only two here? Fengjin, were those films that took us away just now?"
"...It should be. But I feel that this dark valley seems to be a living creature. It seems to be deliberately luring the monks down to provide it with power. Anyway, my current spiritual power has been absorbed a lot, which is a bit unsustainable. You
