And he had been waiting for this important man for a long time, looking forward to the stars and the moon. He stared at the portrait every day, and he had already memorized Su Chen's appearance in his mind.
That's why he could recognize Su Chen at a glance as the big shot His Majesty Li Er mentioned!
Now, the county magistrate's nervous palms were sweating.
Before Su Chen could speak, the county magistrate took the initiative and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
After saying that, he asked people to welcome Su Chen and the others into the lobby, and at the same time warmly greeted the government servants to bring them stools and serve them tea.
The county magistrate's enthusiasm surprised Su Chen.
Are all the state and county officials in the Tang Dynasty so kind and warm to others now?
Li Junxian was frightened by the county magistrate's warm reception!
He is so enthusiastic, what if he accidentally exposes His Majesty's information?
When they get it, won’t they all be beheaded?!
So, Li Junxian hurriedly stepped forward to help. When he was moving things, Li Junxian whispered to the county magistrate: "The identity of this noble man is a secret. Just pretend that you don't know anything. If you accidentally expose something,
, then I’m afraid your nine tribes won’t be able to save it!”
Although the county magistrate did not know Li Junxian, he was still frightened by his bluffing evil spirit and nodded directly to indicate that he knew what to do.
After everyone had arranged everything, the county magistrate pretended to be shocked and asked: "Why did you come to see me this time?"
"I am a farmer from Chang'an, and I plan to plant a new type of rice in Yizhou."
"I would like to borrow some Guantian for experimentation, is it possible?"
Su Chen spoke to the county magistrate very politely, but who knew that the county magistrate was even more polite than him.
"Of course, how much do you want?"
"Can sixty acres be allowed?" Su Chen asked in surprise.
Unexpectedly, the county magistrate of Yizhou was so cheerful?
I haven't come up with the rhetoric I've been thinking about for a long time.
Just when Su Chen was distracted, the county magistrate continued: "If you feel that there is not enough land by then, I will arrange some for you."
"Ah? Mr. County Magistrate, is this...appropriate?"
Su Chen asked a little embarrassed.
"What's inappropriate about this?"
The county magistrate put on a righteous look and said: "You just said that this is a new type of rice, so I, Yizhou, will definitely have the power to cooperate with you."
"If the planting is successful, it will be a good thing for Datang."
"As long as you have any needs, just ask me. We are all from Tang Dynasty, there is nothing to say to others."
After the county magistrate finished speaking, Su Chen and Lao Zhao were stunned.
They all know how difficult it is to promote new types of food.
They still vividly remember how many rejections Su Chen received in order to promote sweet potatoes.
And now, the county magistrate of Yizhou is so happy to understand justice so well?!
This really scared them.
Before Su Chen and the others came to their senses, Li Junxian hurriedly said: "Okay! Thank you so much, Mr. County Magistrate."
"I didn't expect that the county magistrate is also a man of temperament. Don't worry, our rice can produce sixty shi per mu a year."
"When the planting is completed, the county magistrate will definitely bear the brunt of the credit!"
"Um."
The county magistrate nodded and said, "Do you have any other requests?"
"there is none left."
Su Chen shook his head.
"Okay, I have some important matters to deal with, so let's do this for today. I'll make arrangements for you in a few days."
With that said, the county magistrate sent someone to send Su Chen and others, who were still a little confused, out of the county office.
From beginning to end, it seems that it only takes a stick of incense...
Now that the land problem has been solved, Su Chen started to prepare for the sowing work.
Fortunately, the Huiliangyousi seedlings provided by the system are all the best among the best. You don't need to select the seeds yourself. You can just expose them to the sun for a day and then soak them to promote seedlings.
In just a few days, Su Chen's thirty kilograms of Huiliangyousi seedlings turned into green rice seedlings.
Moreover, with the full cooperation of the Yizhou County Magistrate, Su Chen's planting efficiency is not generally high.
In less than half a month, all sixty acres of land were successfully planted!
On this day, Su Chen inspected the growth of rice in the field as usual.
An old farmer in the field next door saw Su Chen coming and asked, "Young man, can your rice really be harvested three times a year?"
He is a local farmer in Yizhou, and his fields are next to Su Chen's fields.
So after a few days of contact, he and Su Chen have become very familiar with each other.
"Of course, this is a new breed of mine."
Su Chen smiled and said: "The yield of one acre of land is at least twenty stones."
"That's really great. In this way, the people of the Tang Dynasty will no longer have to worry about food and drink."
"Young man, after your first batch of rice matures, can you give some to me, Lao Wang?"
Lao Wang looked at Su Chen expectantly.
He had no doubts about Su Chen's words.
Because after this period of contact, he found that Su Chen's ability was really quite big.
Not only did he learn many practical planting methods from Su Chen, he also got some local methods of treating cattle, and cured many sick cattle in the village.
At this point, Lao Wang was already deeply impressed by Su Chen.
"of course."
Su Chen smiled and said: "I originally planned to plant these rice on a large scale in Yizhou. Then I may have to ask uncle to help me promote it everywhere."
"No problem, just leave this to me!" Lao Wang patted his chest boldly and agreed happily.
While Su Chen was talking to Lao Wang, Princess Changle and Si Zi also came over.
"Brother Su Chen, the weather is so hot, drink some water first."
Princess Changle poured water for Su Chen and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"Brother Su, are you tired? Do you want Sizi to help you beat your legs?"
Xiao Sizi said softly from the side.
Not far away, Li Chengqian, who was wearing coarse linen clothes, working barefoot in the fields under the bright sun, vomited blood on the spot after seeing this scene, and felt even more tearful and sad.
Seeing Princess Changle handing Su Chen water and wiping sweat, and Xiao Sizi rubbing his legs, Li Chengqian felt extremely uncomfortable.
I am your biological brother!
Since this period of time, I have been ordered by Su Chen to farm in the fields every day.
But Su Chen himself acted as a hands-off shopkeeper and did nothing.
Don’t you see that you are almost turning into coal?
Seeing that his sisters were still surrounding Su Chen to ask questions, Li Chengqian felt extremely unbalanced. In a fit of anger, he... fainted in the rice field!
