Chu Ximo was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Song Wen, who shook his head and said it was none of his business.
Da Si Nong is already old, so how dare he ask his old man to come over, and how could he know what kind of gate his old man would come to see.
Qingmu stood aside in embarrassment. His family was looking for a janitor, and the girl also said that the best person to look for was someone who was good at farming. But, who will tell him why Da Sinong came to apply?
He is obviously in his sixties, so how can he still have the energy to come here?
"Where is he now?"
"In the hall!"
"Hall? One person?"
"No, there is another child."
Chu Ximo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Luo Jiao was not ill.xdw8
Although Da Sinong usually hangs out in the fields, there are really not many powerful people in the capital who don't know about him.
Suddenly, it would be really difficult for him to see Luo Jiaocheng.
"Song Wen, you go over first. I have something else to do, so I'll go over later!"
"yes!"
After Song Wen left, Chu Ximo waved to Qingmu and went to Luo Jiaochao's courtyard.
"Aunt Luo!"
Luo Jiaocheng was basking in the sun in the courtyard at this time. When she heard Chu Ximo's voice, she raised her head and looked at him, and then showed a smile: "Amo is here? Sit down!"
Luo Jiaocheng was extremely satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.
In the past, she was worried that Yan Shiqing would follow her same path in the future, but in the past few months, after seeing him arrange everything in an orderly manner, she believed that he had feelings for Shiqing and could not be easily replaced.
Chu Ximo followed her words, sat down on the stone bench, and said to her: "Aunt Luo, do you know about the fact that Da Sinong came to our house and wanted to see the gate?"
When Luo Jiaocheng heard this, a sad look flashed across her face.
If you are hiding in such a rural place, why would someone with high authority come here?
It would be okay if Da Sinong had never seen her, but the old man who gave birth to him still knew about her, all because her father had some friendship with Da Sinong.
"I know, it was grandma who saw him in the village and came back to tell me. I just arrived at the courtyard and heard him say outside the door that he was going to apply for the position of gatekeeper."
How could a dignified farmer work as a gatekeeper? Most of the time he came here was because someone told him that he was trying to grow something here, otherwise he wouldn't have the time to run around.
Come here?
"Aunt Luo, from a selfish point of view, I would not choose him. But for the sake of the people, I hope he can help me and take care of the paddy fields..."
When Luo Jiaocheng heard this, there was nothing she didn't understand.
Chu Ximo wanted Da Sinong to help, but because he was concerned about her, he was afraid that she would not be happy, so he came to explain, hoping to get her approval.
He was the sixth prince of the current dynasty and King Mo. He didn't need to ask for other people's opinions when doing things, but here he was.
In the final analysis, he was respecting her, or rather, he was respecting poetry.
"If Da Si Nong doesn't tell anyone about me after he finds out about me, then there will be no defense."
"Okay, I'll go talk to him about this. I'll never let you down."
Chu Ximo breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Luo Jiaochi's relief.
If Luo Jiaocheng didn't agree with this, he really had no choice but to ask Da Sinong to come and help.
Da Si Nong of Da Chu is a slightly buck-toothed old man in his sixties, named Bai Yifeng. Even though his name is so literary, he is a natural farming maniac.
As long as he found out that there seemed to be some new varieties of vegetables or grain crops somewhere, he would find a way to get there no matter how far away they were.
No, Bai Yifeng accidentally learned that the prince was going to experiment in a small village under Jifeng Town under Rongcheng, including dry land improvement and pressure wells, and he became interested.
He knew that the pressure well had been a hot topic in the imperial court recently, and that it was invented by someone under the rule of Rongcheng, but he didn't know where exactly it was.
But when he finally found out where it was, he learned that that family actually grew vegetables in the middle of winter, and that the prince and King Mo planned to convert dry land into paddy fields in Ruanjiakeng. Wouldn't that happen soon?
Came here with a child.
By chance, when he arrived, he heard that the family was looking for a gatekeeper, preferably someone who was an experienced farmer.
At that moment, he felt that this was the best excuse for him to get closer.
But soon, he discovered that he was wrong.
Sure enough, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.
In this family, except for a young man, after taking a look at him, he arranged him and the child in the hall, and then left. No one came to entertain him, let alone a sip of water.
Just when Bai Yifeng was extremely depressed, he heard the sound of fierce footsteps, and then he saw Song Wen saluting him: "Your Majesty, Song Wen, didn't know that Master Bai was coming, so don't be surprised if you miss him from afar!"
Bai Yifeng touched his sleeve, without raising his head, and said in a low voice: "This is your mansion? If not, what does it have to do with you that you are far away from home? What about this master's house?
Why haven’t I seen one for so long? Do you think I’m old and useless, so I don’t want him anymore?”
Song Wen smiled awkwardly when he heard this and said: "Master Bai, you are joking. The emperor has not spoken yet. Who dares to dislike you? You are the good news to our people of Chu..."
"Okay, okay, don't flatter me, old man, I won't do this. Let me ask you, this pressurized water well was invented by this family? I heard that vegetables can be grown in winter, but are you serious?
Has the greenhouse been demolished? If not, take the old man over and have a look. Oh, by the way, where is the dry land that will be converted into paddy fields? Is it far away from the irrigation area..."
After asking a bunch of questions, Bai Yifeng finally said the most important sentence: "What are you doing here? The prince asked you to come here to be the county official. Shouldn't you be in Jifeng Town?"
Song Wen was very confused when he was asked, but when he heard the last question, he couldn't help but said: "Today's potato harvest, King Mo asked the official to be a witness and record it by the way!"
"Potato?"
When Bai Yifeng heard the word "harvest", he knew it was a crop, but he didn't know what the potato was.
"What potato? Take it out and let the old man see it!"
Speaking of potatoes, Song Wen couldn't help but smile on his face: "Wait a moment, I'll go and get it right now. Those potatoes are really high-yielding. When this crop is planted this year, I'll keep them all for cooking."
We can plant more next year, but we should roll it out in Rongcheng first, and eventually all the people in Dachu will be able to plant it, and then the people will no longer have to worry about starvation."
