Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 684 Promotion

If you want more samples, you will have to pay for them.

The prefects and county magistrates sitting below were overjoyed when they heard this. What a good thing! Corn seeds can be rented for free, and you just need to return the same amount after the harvest? No additional rental fee?

In addition, you can also get a free sample of agricultural tools, although it is not valuable and only requires some labor. But, this valuable book is also free? The valuable thing about this book is not the cost of the book, but the content.

You know, they all read poetry and books since childhood and passed the imperial examinations. They have never seen the contents of this book "Stones from Other Mountains".

Although I wouldn't dare say that this book is an encyclopedia on agriculture, it is very targeted and really useful!

After they passed the imperial examinations and became officials, many of them started from the bottom and worked their way up to where they are today. They know the hardships of the people better than anyone else, and it is even more difficult to increase grain production.

So, they knew the value behind this book, but now the prefect said that they could get a copy for free, and after taking it back, they could let the people below study and circulate it.

The prefects were so happy that they had already forgotten their surprise and disdain when they saw the flower buds. They didn't care whether the prefect was a man or a woman, as long as it was beneficial to their own prefecture.

As a result, the prefects and several county magistrates began to sign up one by one and asked to plant corn. Hualei thought about it for a while and discussed it with Wan Tongpan again.

It was decided that in addition to planting in the official fields in the provincial capital, the rest of the seeds would be distributed to every state and county town, in an effort to grow as much corn as possible.

As the governor of Changtong and Changliang states did not come, Hualei did not leave any seeds for them. Instead, he distributed all the corn seeds to several other states that actively requested to plant more.

A few days later, several prefects came empty-handed and returned fully-laden. In addition to farm implement samples, the mule carts behind them also contained very precious corn seeds, which were golden and delightful to look at.

Of course, the "Stones from Other Mountains" that Hualei distributed were carefully put in their chests and put back.

Ten days later, Sun Zhizhou of Changxing Prefecture returned to his prefecture and made arrangements for corn planting in full swing.

Sun Zhizhou distributed some corn seeds to each county town within his jurisdiction, and all the government fields in various places began to plant corn.

In the Xijiang military camp stationed in Changxing Prefecture, a group of soldiers were chatting in their barracks that evening.

"Have you heard? A few days ago, a female prefect came to our Xichang Prefecture from Shangjing City. I heard that she is very young." Liao Xiaoqiang walked into the barracks with toiletries and said.

"How is that possible? Where would a female official from the imperial court come from? You must have made a mistake. It could be the women brought by the new prefect." Yan Shanlin relaxed and leaned against the head of the bed.

"It's true. I heard that Magistrate Sun went to the government office and saw the female magistrate. Also, haven't you heard recently that the government fields in the prefecture and county have started to grow corn?

This seed was brought by this lady from Shangjing City all the way here." Liao Xiaoqiang insisted. "This is what my fellow villager said. He is guarding the city gate in the state capital. The news is absolutely correct."

On the bed at the back of the room, Bai Yunhe, who had been lying lazily, sat up straight, leaned forward and asked, "Xiao Qiang, are you telling the truth? Did you hear me right?"

"Captain, you are right. Really, the state capital has really started to grow corn." Liao Xiaoqiang said, putting down the teacup in his hand.

"I mean, a female prefect has come to Xichang Prefecture. Did you hear the news correctly?" There was a hint of urgency in Bai Yunhe's words, but more of it was disbelief.

"Really, it's spread, many people are talking about it. I heard that this female governor is now in Xichang Prefecture, vigorously promoting corn planting.

By the way, what is corn? What does it look like? Is it delicious? "Liao Xiaoqiang, who is a bit of a foodie, can't forget to eat.

"I haven't seen it. Is it similar to rice and wheat? Can it fill the stomach?" Xiang Xuewen answered honestly.

"It should be delicious. I heard the corn yield is very high."

........Everyone was talking about it.........

"Is it her? Will she come to Xijiang? Impossible, this must be a mistake." Bai Yunhe took a pillow, stuffed it behind himself, and sat on the head of the bed.

After returning from patrol, I have been feeling a bit dazed. I accidentally twisted my ankle during training and have been recovering from the injury for the past few days.

"What's the surname of that female magistrate?" Bai Yunhe asked again with some hopelessness.

"Um... I don't know. We dare not say the adult's name casually." Liao Xiaoqiang lay down on the bed.

"It shouldn't be her, but could it be that she followed him to Western Xinjiang? This is very likely. After all, she followed him to Mobei before. Yes, that should be the case." Bai Yunhe's mind was churning.

The scenes from the first time he met her replayed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.

In the building of the Imperial College, he saw her for the first time. She came with him. He thought she was a lady from the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion. However, when he heard Rong Jue calling her "Sister Hua", he realized that she was not.

The suitcase that the girl was dragging had some minor modifications. Looking at the two wooden sticks used as isolation under the suitcase, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This method was very good and could prevent clothes from getting damp.

The owner of the suitcase was the little boy who had been admitted as the first private student. Although he was a little thin, he stood straight and neither humble nor overbearing. When he met the somewhat proud Yunhai, he was also tactful and was younger than Yunhai.

The older sister, who didn't look very big, was busy doing things for her younger brother. She made the bed, folded the quilt, and arranged the bed curtains. The hanging bed curtains were also very clever.

There were many girls in Dingxi Marquis's mansion, and he had also seen many young ladies from aristocratic families among his relatives. However, none of them had ever impressed him.

At that moment, I found my heart was moved. I originally wanted to go back after the building was tidied, but I stayed for ulterior motives.

Following her, we went to visit the dining hall of the Imperial College. To be frank, I could walk back and forth several times in the dining hall of the Imperial College with my eyes closed.

However, when I followed her, I found that she looked like a curious baby. She would even go up to take a look at the washed vegetables and bend down to take a look at the washed dishes.

The interaction between her and Rong Jue attracted me even more. Her bright smile dazzled me. So after they separated, I asked my guards to secretly investigate their identities.
