As soon as Li Xiuwen returned home, he heard a report from his subordinates that the four croppers wanted to see him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He's been very busy all this time, and he's long since forgotten about it. That's really high-yield food, and in this era, if you succeed in growing such food, how many people will have to be saved?

Li Xiuwen immediately rushed to the side courtyard, they wanted to see him, he must have been successfully cultivated, right? He can't wait to see the results now.

When he came to the side hall, Li Xiuwen asked directly when he saw them: "But it has worked?" ”

Those people were not very good at talking, they just nodded straightforwardly, and then led Li Xiuwen to see their results.

When Li Xiuwen saw with his own eyes the seedlings they had cultivated, he couldn't help himself with excitement. He was indeed glad that in his previous life these things were ordinary species, and he rarely paid attention to them. But now he is in the Ming Dynasty, and now it is up to him to change the cultivation and promote these species. How is he upset? This is all food that can survive at a critical moment!

The seedlings of sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes seem to be well cultivated. But when Li Xiuwen's eyes moved to the corn seedlings, he suddenly saw that the corn seedlings seemed to be a little wilted. Puzzled, he asked, "What's going on with this?" ”

The man who cultivated the corn said, "This ...... The "corn" that Childe said is a little difficult to serve. ”

Li Xiuwenqi said: "Oh? Why? ”

The man replied, "This old man has used to play with corn before, but it has not grown very well. ”

Li Xiuwen understood when he heard this, he almost forgot that this corn was in the Ming Dynasty, but few people would grow it. Corn is not as easy to grow as sweet potatoes, and he remembers that when he was in the countryside, sweet potatoes could grow well on their own as long as they were planted and did not need to be cared for. But corn is different, not to mention fertilizing or something, it seems that this thing still depends on the season.

Li Xiuwen turned to look at the potato seedlings again, and found that they were only better than corn, but inferior to sweet potatoes.

Li Xiuwen hadn't paid attention to these things at all in his previous life, and it was quite difficult for him to sort out what was going on at this time. This is what people often say that they have never eaten pork, but only seen pigs run away. He had eaten a lot of these things in his previous life, but if you talk about planting, come on, Li Daguan is not that material.

He also knows that this kind of thing is not urgent, and in this era, it is already very good that people can cultivate seedlings for you. So he just praised them, appeased these men, put them at ease, and slowly researched, and he would always find a better way to plant.

Since sweet potatoes are easy to grow, Li Xiuwen is ready to start changing cultivation and planting them in his own fertile land first. Immediately, he asked him to look for money and steward, and was ready to tell him in person, so that he could start arranging the conversion of farming.

At this time, in the prison of the Kaifeng Mansion.

In one of the cells where the prisoners were held, Wang Wu sat quietly, his face unkempt and unkempt, looking so embarrassed. The white prison clothes on his body had bright red marks. Obviously, this is a type that has already been used by the government. However, the government didn't seem to be in a hurry, just moved some small punishments, and Wang Wu was able to survive.

Suddenly hearing a "bang", Wang Wu turned his head to look, and saw that the cell head opened the iron door of the prison, and Xie Heng, who was dressed in a cyan official robe, walked in.

"Wang Wu, the official will ask you again, are you recruiting or not?"

Hearing Xie Heng ask, Wang Wu just glanced at him lightly and was silent and did not answer.

"What a hard one!"

After Xie Heng finished speaking, he glanced at the jailers on the side. The jailers understood what he meant, and two of them came over and held Wang Wu down, while the other went straight to the corner, took out a reddened soldering iron from the burning charcoal fire, and walked towards Wang Wu.

"Oh, Lord Xie, why are you here?"

Ma Mingda's voice suddenly came from the door, and Xie Heng was stunned. He immediately stepped forward and saluted, and then asked, "Why did Lord Ma come here?" ”

Ma Mingda said with a smile: "I heard that Master Xie arrested someone, so I came over to take a look." ”

Xie Heng frowned when he heard this, he sensed Ma Mingda's intention. But he couldn't figure it out, Ma Mingda didn't come forward when he arrested people that day, why did he come over now? Now that he is here, if he tortures Wang Wu to extract a confession in front of him, won't he give him a trick? And he also plans to frame Li Xiuwen, with him present, how can he frame the Li family?

Although the affairs of the prison are mainly under his jurisdiction, after all, Maminda is a shepherd, and he does not want to confront the other party. Xie Heng's face was uncertain, and after weighing it in his heart, he decided to leave first and make plans later.

Seeing that Xie Heng found a reason to leave at random, Ma Mingda just smiled lightly and walked away.

And those jailers, after seeing that these two masters who can call the shots have left, they cannot make any claims and continue the execution. can only let go of Wang Wu and lock the prison door again.

Ma Mingda intervened in the matter, and Zhu Shaoyan quickly got the news. He didn't expect that this Ma Governor would suddenly make a move and hinder his affairs.

This Ma Mingda suddenly appeared, and it seems that someone instructed him to do it. Although he couldn't let Wang Wu go, it was always a trouble for him to intervene in the case. ”

Zhu Shaoxuan thought for a while and instructed Feng Quandao: "Hurry up and check this Ma Governor's Mansion, this son wants to see who is making trouble for me behind my back." ”

After listening to Li Xiuwen's plan, the Li family, the money manager felt that things were not appropriate, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Young master, this can't be done, absolutely not!"

Li Xiuwen said: "Why not? ”

Steward Qian explained: "Not to mention the species that the young master wants to change to farming, it is unknown how it will grow. We can't pass the level of tenants alone. ”

Li Xiuwen couldn't help but feel even more strange, this land is all his own family, what does it matter to those tenants? What do you want to plant, and have you asked them if you can do it?

Seeing that his young master didn't seem to know much about this aspect, Steward Qian explained to him in detail.

Only then did Li Xiuwen understand that it turned out that the tenants of the Ming Dynasty had the final say on what they wanted to plant and how they planted. The landlord simply owns the land and rents it to them for farming. If you forcibly interfere with the tenants' farming, it will cause them to be dissatisfied. Li Xiuwen knows that this sweet potato grows well, but these tenants have never planted it, so how can they believe it?

Dare to love what he saw in the movie in his previous life, the kind of mean landlord who bullies men and women, and wants to put tenants and long-term workers, and one person can be two envoys, there is no such thing as a mean landlord. Such landlords generally do not last long. Sensei said that during the New Year's holidays, the landlord gave these tenants New Year's gifts, and even encountered some tricky tenants, who delayed rent and evaded rent, but there was no way.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a civilian, so after conquering the world, he was quite good to the ordinary people, so the children and grandchildren of the Zhu family also followed suit. Didn't you see every uprising in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen has always focused on appeasement, and didn't blame the people? He believes that the common people will rebel because they have nothing to eat.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty still took good care of the people in the area of law. In this way, the landlord is not the government, how can he beat and scold the tenants at will? As a result, some cunning tenants have the opportunity to exploit loopholes, and then they can negotiate and bargain with the landlords.

"It seems that it is not easy to plant a sweet potato in this Ming Dynasty!"

Li Xiuwen sighed with emotion. It seems that this matter is not urgent for the time being, and he has to come up with a good countermeasure before he can implement it.

A few days later, the imperial court sent down an inspector of the imperial history.

Xie Heng's crime is ironclad, and the imperial court will inevitably punish him. This time, this imperial historian was sent to inspect Kaifeng, presumably to investigate Zhu Shaoyang. But Li Xiuwen felt a little strange, the imperial court didn't seem to pay much attention to this matter, otherwise why did he only send an imperial historian?

After hearing the news, Li Xiuwen just smiled indifferently. The real battle has just begun!
