After three days of moving bricks in Cangzhou City, Chen Nongtou and a dozen of his fellow villagers received their wages for a bag of rice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Chen Nongtou came home and showed the rice to his mother-in-law, the mother-in-law, who had always been fierce, actually leaned on Chen Nongtou's shoulder and cried.

Since then, Chen Nongtou has also had a good impression of this government that does what it says and is so generous to the workers, and after tasting the sweetness of this time, Chen Nongtou continued to take his fellow villagers back to the construction site of Xincangzhou City and began their life of moving bricks to build the city.

The life of moving bricks is actually very hard, after a day's work, Chen Nong is tired and doesn't want to talk, he goes back to the kind of board house dormitory and falls asleep, and after waking up, he continues to work on the construction site.

After only one month of work, Chen Nongtou was promoted to the captain of the No. 10 team on the construction site, and at the end of the month, there were not only ten bags of rice, but also a barrel of soybean oil, a bag of salt, three cans of canned beef and a canned sea fish.

Using five bags of rice to exchange for a wooden cart from an acquaintance's house, Chen Nongtou pushed the remaining five bags of rice, as well as oil and canned food, back home.

At the end of that month, Chen Nongtou's family lived like a New Year, Chen Nongtou's mother-in-law exchanged a bag of rice for a large bag of flour, and then bought some pork.

Since then, Chen Nongtou has worked harder, on the one hand, he is the first soldier and works the other hand, he is smart, helpful, and deeply admired by everyone, so he was soon promoted from the captain to the post of deputy inspector, and became an official included in the establishment of the new Song State.

Chen Nongtou's salary has also risen again and again, from ten bags of rice a month to sixteen bags, and the benefits are also more and more, at first it was just a few bottles of canned food, and later, he could get a box of canned food every month, as for the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and so on, there were even more.

Chen Nongtou is also very satisfied with his current life, he is just a little worried that this new Song Dynasty will not be destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty because its armament is too weak.

But after seeing the dark green ironclad car sent out by the New Song Kingdom, and hearing the news of the New Song Dynasty's three defeats of the Liao, Chen Nongtou's last trace of worry also disappeared, he only hoped that this New Song Kingdom could continue to exist, and his family could live happily in the New Song Kingdom.

"Supervisor Chen, Supervisor Chen, Wang Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites at noon today came, he asked us and there was no one who was proficient in agriculture, you were supervising the construction site at that time, I listened to the suggestions of everyone in our household department, and everyone unanimously recommended you."

Early in the morning, Chen Benshun had just come to the council hall of the household department, and Zhang Mo from the general order department ran over to inform him of the news.

"This... I'm afraid this is not good, I just know how to farm, illiterate, can Wang Shangshu know? Chen Nongtou said with a little weakness, although he is very confident in farming, but he is illiterate, which has always been his weakness.

"I told Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and he said that it doesn't matter if you are illiterate, as long as you can farm." Zhang Mo said excitedly.

"That... All right. Chen Benshun said a little sneeringly.

Just as the two were talking, a young man suddenly ran in outside the gate of the Ministry of Rites, it was Cai Yong of the Ministry of Rites, he saw Zhang Mo and Chen Benshun standing together, and immediately patted his thigh and said: "I can be regarded as finding you" Then he said excitedly: "Inspector Chen, our Ministry of Rites Wang Shangshu is invited, and he is on the Taisheng Tower at the moment, His Majesty and Prime Minister, and several other Shangshu are also there." ”

As soon as he heard the names of so many big people, Chen Benshun was scared enough, he was an ordinary person, where had he seen such a big battle, and suddenly said with a little softness: "This... Is this going to face the saint now? ”

"That's nature, Wang Shangshu said, I must invite you to go." Cai Yong said excitedly.

Chen Benshun still said with a look of disbelief: "That... Then Wang Shangshu did say that what was the matter with summoning the lower officials, and the lower officials should also go and prepare. ”

"I heard what is the popularization of high-yield crops, about how to improve the grain planting of the people of our New Song Dynasty, anyway, you are more familiar with these things, then you will know."

。。。。。。。。

When Chen Benshun was led to the Taisheng Tower, the banquet was already halfway through, and the lord of the New Song Dynasty and more than a dozen ministers of the New Song Dynasty, as well as more than a dozen officials whose names were not named, were watching the song and dance.

Chen Benshun had never seen such a big battle, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head.

"Your Majesty, Chen Benshun, the supervisor of the household department, has been brought." The herald said respectfully towards Jiang Yin, who was sitting on the main seat.

"Give a seat."

"No."

Immediately, an attendant Cong brought a rosewood chair next to him and put it next to Chen Benshun.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Benshun's voice trembled, and then he sat in the corner of the chair with only half of his buttocks, this was the first time he had seen the new Song Dynasty lord up close, and it was fake to say that he was not excited.

But unlike the serious lord of the country in Chen Benshun's imagination, Jiang Yin was very approachable, he looked at Chen Benshun and said with a smile: "Inspector Chen, don't be so nervous in front of me, I heard that you are proficient in agriculture and are known as Chen Nongtou in Haixing County, is this matter true?" ”

"Back. Back to His Majesty's words, the six generations of cultivators in the Xiaguan family do know a little about agriculture, but the Xiaguan is illiterate, so I don't know if he can take on a big responsibility. Chen Benshun is very pertinent.

"Haha, it's okay, I don't need you to write a book and write a biography, I have invited a group of agricultural doctors from overseas today, they have a lot of research on planting crops and growing, I want you to communicate with them, by the way, they will bring some high-yield crops, I plan to promote cultivation throughout the territory of my New Song Kingdom, which still needs you to do your best." Jiang Yin said kindly.

"How can he be a minister..."Chen Benshun was still a little unconfident.

"I said you can, you can, as long as the high-yield crops are successfully implemented, I will give you a two-level promotion, directly serve as the deputy minister of agriculture of my new Song Dynasty, and increase your salary tenfold, but you must do your best to help me implement this high-yield as all the four states and sixteen counties of my new Song Kingdom!" Speaking of this, Jiang Yin's tone had become serious.

"The lower officials obey the order!" Chen Benshun also saw the reality clearly at this time, His Majesty wanted to promote the seeds of high-yield crops in the New Song Dynasty, and he was confident that in the new round of sowing season, all the farmers in the four states would plant this new crop...
