If it weren't for Li Ziyu's discernment, Yang Dahu would definitely smash the sweet potato in his hand.

It is not surprising that Li Ziyu's actions will arouse suspicion today, and Li Ziyu can't keep a low profile if she wants to. No, the master and servant who followed all the way, even if they didn't hesitate to invite Li Ziyu to dinner, they had to ask clearly, and Li Ziyu knew how much trouble he had caused.

Li Ziyu saw that this young man was full of sincerity, so he said: "Since there is a free meal that does not cost money, I will not have trouble with money." Well, I'll just listen to the Lord's will. ”

When the young man heard this, he smiled slightly, and directed Lu Zhong to turn into an east-west street.

Li Ziyu looked at the sign next to the street, this street is called Songxi Street. And the north and south streets just now are called Chunfeng Road.

The ox cart stopped in front of a restaurant called Xiang'an Pavilion, and Xiao Er from the store had already stepped forward and took the reins in Lu Zhong's hand.

The young man said, "Serve well, feed the forage" and led the way into the restaurant.

The little two replied respectfully and led the ox cart to the backyard.

Li Ziyu followed the young man straight up to the second floor and entered a private room called "Relief of Sorrow". Before they could sit down, they heard a knock on the door outside.

"Come in!"

As the young man spoke, a man in his thirties who looked like a shopkeeper hurriedly walked over and said to the young man, "Oh, my lord, why don't you come to say hello?" I'm not prepared for that."

The young man said lightly, "It's just a mouthful of food, what else are you going to prepare?" Pick up a few more affordable dishes, and I'm going to talk about something. Don't let people bother. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll prepare." As the shopkeeper spoke, he hurried out to prepare.

Soon. There were several simple and affordable dishes, including three kinds of mushrooms, stewed chicken nuggets with mushrooms, braised pork and a four-happiness meatball, and each person served a bowl of rice.

These dishes are very large, full of color, flavor and flavor, and strongly attract everyone's taste buds.

Li Ziyu felt that her stomach, which was already hungry, was squirming even more, and she was embarrassed.

She subconsciously looked at the others. I found that it was not much better, and I felt a lot more balanced in my heart.

The young man laughed and said, "No way, food." Sex is also human nature, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. My stomach is also singing empty city plan, hahaha"

He said so. Breaking the embarrassment just now. The atmosphere in the room was relaxed.

The young man continued: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Lin Tianshu, and I am the magistrate of Nanhui County. I know it's a bit presumptuous to invite you to dinner today, but I'm really curious, so I can't take into account the wishes of the two of you, so please understand. ”

Li Ziyu was very surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect the magistrate of Nanhui County to be so young.

What surprised her even more was Lin Tianshu's confession and the shock after knowing that he was the magistrate.

Wasn't it true that officials in ancient times traveled in front of each other? He just took such a small guy on foot for a private visit. Not to mention the sedan chair on TV. Even there was no carriage, which really made Li Ziyu subvert his perception of ancient officials.

Looks. Every dynasty and generation has good officials who are incorruptible. I heard that Lin Tianshu has just been in Nanhui County for more than two months, and the tax gap left by taking office is very large, and it is understandable that Lin Tianshu is anxious.

For the sake of his honesty, Li Ziyu decided to say everything he asked, which could be regarded as a reward for his dedication to the people.

At this moment, Li Ziyu took over the conversation and said: "My name is Li Ziyu, I don't know if Lin Zhixian has any questions that I need to answer?" As long as I know, I will answer truthfully. ”

Lin Tianshu waved his hand and said, "What is it called Lin Zhixian, it sounds awkward." Let's call it Brother Lin, it's so obviously kind. ”

Li Ziyu changed her words from kindness: "Brother Lin, then I might as well be respectful." If you have anything to know, Brother Lin, just ask, I will not let you down. ”

Lin Tianshu pondered slightly before he spoke: "What I want to ask may make you embarrassed, but I'm really curious, how do you know that seeds from overseas can grow crops?" And it's not to buy less, it's to buy a lot. Are you so confident that you can grow it? ”

Li Ziyu thought about it and said sincerely: "To be honest, I am not absolutely sure that I will be able to grow crops." I bought it because I wanted to improve the cultivation system of the Daya Dynasty. The food of our Daye Dynasty is too monotonous, and the yield is too low, so it can't maintain the food and clothing of the people at all. It may seem a bit high-spirited to say that, but I'm also a member of the people, and I want to be fed. Therefore, someone has to try, if it succeeds, it will be the blessing of the Daye Dynasty, even if it is not successful, I have nothing to lose, at most I will lose twenty-five taels of silver, and a year's harvest. ”

"But this year's harvest of yours is the harvest of a hundred acres! Don't you feel distressed? ”

"Who says I don't feel distressed? But what if I succeed? The profits are also huge, aren't they? ”

Lin Tianshu and the other three looked at Li Ziyu as if they were looking at a madman. Especially Lu Zhong, his worried face turned white, and he looked at Li Ziyu and stopped talking.

Lin Tianshu breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Li Ziyu: "You have bought so many seeds, do you have so much land in your hands?" As far as I know, you are from Fuyuan County, and you don't have a lot of land there. If you want to buy land, why don't you buy it from us, and I'll give you a fair price, how about it? ”

Li Ziyu was really pleasantly surprised. Yes, since buying corn seeds, Li Ziyu has been worrying about buying land.

There really isn't a lot of land near her house, and some of it is scattered. But she didn't want to plant the corn separately. First, it is not easy to manage, and I am afraid of being remembered by thieves. The second is that there is no adult in the family, and it is not enough to rely on yourself for spring planting and autumn harvest. Moreover, she calculated that these 500 catties of corn seeds can grow 100 acres of land, which is unimaginable in modern times. The thought of owning a hundred acres of land in ancient times made her heart bubble.

If he could buy a hundred acres of land in a block, of course Li Ziyu couldn't ask for it. Therefore, as soon as he heard Lin Tianshu say this, he agreed with his mouth: "Brother Lin, then I will accept your love, you can promise me a fair price, but you can't talk about it." Lin Tianshu smiled and said a little embarrassed: "But I have one condition."

Li Ziyu pursed her lips secretly, and asked quietly: "What conditions?" ”

Lin Tianshu said: "Don't worry, it's not an excessive request. That is, if your maize is really successfully planted, I will buy half of your grain seeds. Of course, the price is based on the market price, and you can't lose money. ”

Li Ziyu pondered for a moment and did not speak immediately.

Lin Tianshu was afraid that she would not agree, so he continued to say: "I know you have concerns, and I am afraid that your parents and officials in the county will make trouble for you when the time comes. Don't worry, your Fu Zhixian has a personal relationship with me, and I will take care of it for you at that time. ”

Li Ziyu thought for a while and said, "In this way, I have to set aside the seeds to be planted in my own field." Also, although we don't have much land in our village, I also have to set aside the number of acres that need to be planted in our village. After I keep it, I will sell you half more. ”

Lin Tianshu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed: "A word is a certainty!" (To be continued......)
