This Chen family sent a handsome young man, handsome, several people were taken aback at first when they saw it, and then overjoyed, among them, the most excited was Chen Wenlin. Because of this personnel Chen Wenjun who was sent to negotiate with them.

Princess Lichuan, Xu Wenchang, Chen Wenlin, Liu Yan, Zhao Chongyi, Liu Jingyuan, and Chen Wenjun are all sitting in Princess Lichuan's mansion. Chen Wenlin said first: "Brother, why are you?" Why didn't you go home first when you came to the capital, and didn't tell me a word? By the way, do you know that your father will be coming to the capital soon? ”

Chen Wenjun's face was much darker, but he was even more handsome, faintly with a frosty color, and his original elegant appearance was much lighter at the moment, but there was more of a calm and cold color. At this moment he smiled and said, "I know my father is coming." I also suddenly received an order from the patriarch. Originally, I was still leading a team to do tasks in the clan land. Where can I notify you first? But I'm going to go home with you in a moment. Do you live in a mansion or in our own house? ”

Chen Wenlin said: "Of course I live in my own house. When I go back with you to see my grandfather in the evening, you will come with me to live in our house. ”

Princess Lichuan smiled like a flower and said: "This is Brother Jun, I didn't expect the patriarch to send our own family, this is a coincidence." Let's not talk about business today, according to my father's request, we can't talk about it together until Ma Jingren comes. By the way, I forgot to tell you, Ma Jingren didn't come in person this time, and this time he sent his eldest son Ma Mingsong to talk with us. ”

After hearing this, Chen Wenlin said: "I know this Ma Mingsong, a very capable, smart person, very kind and polite. It's good now, I've always been worried that the people of Ma Jingren's faction don't want to make peace with us, and I'm also worried that the people from the clan faction don't want to make peace with us, but now it's all settled, it's all our own people. In this way, it is much more stable and unhindered. ”

Liu Yan said: "When I get to the ground, I want to ask Brother Lin to be my representative in this regard. After all, where can I get to Huating County, I'm afraid it will not be easy to leave the capital. ”

Chen Wenlin was very surprised, originally, he knew that Liu Yan would definitely let him help with this sea trade matter, but it was unexpected for him to be the plenipotentiary representative. He said, "Fourth brother, this clan is my elder brother. You sent me again. How can this work? ”

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Do I still not trust Ah Jun and you?" Besides. It is precisely because the Chen clan sent Ah Jun that I am more determined to send you, because you are familiar with Ma Mingsong and are brothers with Ah Jun. and Brother-in-law Xu are cousins-in-law, so that the four of you can better cooperate and do this big thing well. Perhaps, you can't imagine that what you are doing now is not a matter of making two dollars for the four of us, but something that may go down in history. ”

Princess Lichuan glanced at Liu Yan appreciatively, and thought to herself, she really deserves to be the person chosen by the concubine, and this political sensitivity is strong enough.

Xu Wenchang said with a smile: "Since this is the case." Let's just talk about family affection and feelings today, and don't talk about anything else, princess, let people prepare for a banquet. Taste the food of my house, too. The cook in my house has learned from the chef of Ah Jun's Qinghe Building. ”

As soon as these words were said, these people who had eaten the Chen family's food were shocked and looked forward to it.

The next day, Ma Mingsong really arrived in the capital, first went to the palace to meet the emperor, and then went to the Lichuan Princess's Mansion. Without him, because the emperor was partial, he told them that this time the sea trade would be headed by Princess Lichuan.

A few people met, first reminisced, and after getting acquainted, they began to negotiate. In fact, when it comes to negotiations, it is mainly Ma Mingsong and Chen Wenjun who negotiate. This time, in fact, the emperor and the Chen family developed sea trade together, and by the way, they brought Princess Lichuan and Liu Yan. Therefore, Princess Lichuan and Liu Yan were very smart and did not speak, and listened to Ma Mingsong and Chen Wenjun negotiate first.

Everyone didn't dare to underestimate Ma Mingsong, just saw that as soon as he entered the capital, he went directly to the palace, which was easier than them to see the emperor, and they knew that the Ma family was important in the eyes of the emperor. What surprised them was Chen Wenjun. In fact, Liu Yan and the three of them were very familiar with Chen Wenjun when they were young, because they were all from the concubine family, and they were all from big families, but they were not welcomed. So the relationship is extraordinarily good. This time, they found that Chen Wenjun has changed a lot from before, he is very calm and speaks, and has the ability and wisdom beyond his age.

Zhao Chongyi was actually not too interested in their negotiations, so he was distracted when he listened to them, thinking that Chen Wenjun's sister, that wise person, was also so wise beyond his age, so outstanding. Looking at Chen Wenlin again, although he is not as good as his brother, he is also far more intelligent than his peers. It seems that this Chen Yuanheng family is really talented. But think about it, this Chen Yuanheng is a capable person, and the management of the jurisdiction is well organized, it can be said that he can be counted in the entire Great Chu Dynasty, and even the emperor has praised him many times, and he is ready to experience it as a reserve for the prime minister in the future. There is also the Bai family, a concubine of the Bai family, but she has extraordinary housekeeping ability, and the management of the family business is thriving. It is precisely because of such excellent parents that such excellent children are born.

If I can marry Wen Hui in the future, I will definitely have such a smart child, what a happy scene it should be. It's a pity that such a beautiful thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with him. He remembered the night he came and left, and Wen Hui rejected him without thinking. In fact, he was not surprised to reject him, after all, Wen Hui was still young. But Wen Hui refused so decisively and resolutely that he didn't have to think about it, which made him die of heartache when he thought about it. This shows that in this girl's eyes and heart, there is no such person as him at all, and he is the same as the vegetable sellers and passers-by she sees every day, and there is nothing special about him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chongyi's heart became sad, and it was difficult to breathe, so he slowly walked out of the flower hall and looked at the scene in the garden.

In the flower hall, the negotiation between Ma Jingren and Chen Wenjun did not go well. But both of them are decisive people, and they won't talk about it when it comes to a certain process, because they have already understood the intentions of both parties, and they are not the ones who really make the decision, what they have to do now is to feed back the news and wait for the person in charge to make a decision.

In this way, several people ate and drank at the princess's house and dispersed. Next, there was no further negotiation, after all, Chen Wenjun had to wait for news from the patriarch. It also takes time to get this message back and forth to the clan land.

A few days later, the news of the Chen family's land had not yet arrived, but Chen Yuanheng had arrived. Chen Yuanheng did not see his son first, but went to the palace to see His Majesty first. The emperor first praised Chen Yuanheng's work, first praised Chen Yuanheng in Ancheng, and praised all the way to the time when he did a good job in disaster relief. When Chen Yuanheng heard this, the emperor was so familiar with his political achievements, and he was excited, he would definitely not hesitate to let him die for the emperor at this time.

After the praise. The emperor saw that the fire was almost over. asked Chen Yuanheng about his opinion on the main government after becoming a assassin. Chen Yuanheng hurriedly took out the strip Chen that had been prepared a long time ago. Show it to the Emperor. The emperor looked very carefully. After reading it, the emperor said: "Yuanheng, you are very good at this, do this." It is estimated that your Huzhou's grain output next year must be very objective. Now the people of Huzhou are blessed. Blessed are the people of the world. When the time comes, you can't eat all the grain in Huzhou, so you can sell it to the Central Plains, which can alleviate the suffering of no grain and little grain in the north. ”

When Chen Yuanheng heard this, he was excited for a while, forgot about hiding it, and said excitedly: "The emperor really cares about the world." Shame on you. The minister has an idea, actually. New species should be promoted. For example, corn, this thing has a high yield, is drought tolerant, and easy to take care of. And it's a treasure all over it. This fruit is corn that bears fruit, and this is food for men to eat. This pole is also useful. ”

The emperor was very interested and said, "Oh. What's the use of this? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Chen has been promoting this corn in Jiangnan for many years, and he has rich experience in growing corn in the grange of Chen's family. This pole can be fed by large livestock, especially for raising cattle. And this corn cob, dried is the best thing to burn, which saves a lot of firewood. ”

The emperor said, "Well, in this way, this corn is really a treasure all over the body." ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Although the corn is good, the minister does not want to promote it in Huzhou, because the land in Huzhou is watery, and it is the best to grow rice. In fact, this thing has been available for a long time, and everyone eats it as a dish. In fact, its seeds can be used to extract oil. This is very suitable for planting in Huzhou, and it has been planted in Chen's grange for one season. There are also sweet potatoes, which grow very well in Huzhou, and the yield is higher than that of corn, and the better land can reach 1,000 catties. Thanks to this year's drought, we have planted more sweet potatoes in Deqing, which is not only enough for the locals to eat, but also enough for the victims who fled the famine. ”

The emperor was moved: "Is it really such a high yield?" Isn't this equivalent to ten times more land in the Great Chu Dynasty all of a sudden? If the world is implemented, won't no more people starve to death? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Yes, according to Chen's planting experience in the past few years, this sweet potato not only has a high yield, but also does not pick the land, even the river beach land, sandy land, saline-alkali land can grow, it is nothing more than a little less, but it is still higher than the yield of wheat and rice." In this way, those beaches, river beaches, thin lands, slopes, and mountains in our Great Chu Dynasty can be produced, and the peaceful and prosperous era is just around the corner. ”

The emperor was shocked by the scene depicted by Chen Yuanheng, stepped down from the throne, and said, "Well, this is a big deal, Chen Qingjia, you have made a great contribution." ”

Chen Yuanheng still felt that he was not shocked enough, and said: "The minister used to live a humble life in the capital, and he didn't know the hardships of the people in the world, and he didn't know the hardships of the crops. Now that I have arrived in Jiangnan, I have become a magistrate, and I have contact with the people every day, and the minister's biggest feeling is that I want to let the people be fed, let the people become rich, have food, and have money in their pockets, even if someone puts a knife on their neck, they will not rebel. This is the real governance of the world. ”

The emperor glanced at Chen Yuanheng deeply and said, "Aiqing's words are my heart's voice, but it's a pity that those high-ranking officials in the court can understand this truth." As soon as I heard you say this, I knew that the gully in your heart was not only these three points about agriculture, but what other good ideas did you have? ”
