"Uncle, don't you really want the rice in the field?"

"No, it's all for you. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I said Zheng Li! How many times do you want me to say it? Qin Xin paused, and then said, "What's more, it was originally your field, and I just borrowed it for experiments." But you still have to pay taxes. ”

"Of course, you have to pay taxes, but, after all, it was planted by you, uncle. Uncle, you just gave it to our family......"

"You're the ones who really contribute, I'm just blindly directing."

"Uncle, you are modest, if it weren't for your idea, how could the fields be full of golden rice."

Qin Xin came to Shangcai's market again on this day. It's just that it's not to sell things, it's to "buy". Of course, when you see the word "buy" in double quotation marks, everyone knows that buying is just an excuse. The main thing is that there are not all the precious things in his hands now, and in the past half a year, Qin Xin has not given any gifts to Meng Zheng, so he used the excuse of going out to the market to bring good things back. Actually, today Qin Xin just came out to pretend.

And Zheng Li is Qin Xin's follower today. However, it is only temporary. Moreover, Zheng Li also has a task, which is to help sell part of the food that was piled up in the Zheng family last year and cannot be eaten, which naturally requires a coolie like Zheng Li to complete.

More than ten truckloads of grain, because almost all of them are expired, the Zheng family will update the grain in the warehouse every year, and there are many of them, which are basically sold cheaply, almost equivalent to buying one and getting one free, and giving them to those wild people who come into the city from the wild to buy grain.

The meaning of the wild people is not savages, but the commoners who live in the small villages outside the city, and these commoners are like the difference between the rural people and the city people in later generations. Often, their spending power is much lower than that of people in the city. Although the grain that has been stored for a year is not as fresh as the harvest and sun-dried at the beginning, it can at least be managed.

This year, it is said that the drought in the north is getting more and more serious, and even on the side of Cai Guo, many places have been affected, and there have been varying degrees of reduction in production. And if Qin Xin didn't guess wrong, this is an abnormal natural climate phenomenon, to be honest, because Qin Xin is not a meteorologist, so I don't know how long this phenomenon will last, but anyway, Qin Xin knows that it is useless to pray to God and Buddha at this moment.

……

At this time, it was at Cai Mao's house......

The Cai family came with two guests today.

One is Cai Guo's little Sikou, ranked as a middle doctor, named Cai Song, with a high character, and the other is Cai Song's subordinate.

The three of them were cooking wine and talking in front of the hall.

Originally, the three of them were still talking about the turmoil in the Cai Dynasty now, but in a blink of an eye, the three of them talked about the continuous drought in the north in recent years.

Cai Song first sighed: "This year, the north is going to be very difficult again, and I heard that many places are not harvested. ”

Cai Mao is not very interested in this, after all, he lives and eats well in Shangcai, and the affairs in the north are his business. So there is no compassion on Cai Song's face.

Cai Mao took a sip of wine and said, "If Xiangdong (Zheng He's character) is still there, you may be able to talk to him about this for a few days and nights, and you tell me what to do." ”

When Cai Song heard Cai Mao mention Zheng He, his sadness was doubled, and he sighed: "Yes! It's really a pity to go east, and the family is unfortunate. By the way, I don't know if the Zheng family is still doing good deeds this year? ”

Cai Song turned around and asked his subordinate.

Cai Mao replied first: "It's early, and when it was bright this morning, I pulled more than ten truckloads of grain." ”

Cai Song said: "It seems that Meng Zheng's niece, like his father, has inherited the tradition of the Zheng family. ”

Cai Mao: "But it's useless! After all, it's just a little girl. Cai Mao immediately poured a basin of cold water on Cai Song.

Cai Song: "You are a man, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart." But it's true that a little girl can't succeed after all. Not to mention...... She is still so beautiful, I heard that some people wanted to be rude to her last month. ”

Cai Mao looked at Cai Song and said, "Do you still want to talk about it next, and then my Zhong'er went up and beat someone." ”

Cai Song laughed: "Haha! That's not what I said, it's you. After that, it's a lot of trouble, isn't it? After all, he is Shangqing's sister-in-law. ”

Cai Mao replied: "The trouble is a little, but it's not a big deal. ”

Cai Song: "Indeed, the king also took this opportunity to shave the arrogance of the other party. After all, this is also the other party's rudeness in the first place. The most troublesome thing is actually the relationship between your family and the Zheng family, which may be suspicious. ”

Cai Mao sighed, raised his wine glass and took a sip: "Suspicion is certain, but it is estimated that no matter how much time you give it, it will not get on my head." Those are the ones that really need to be weakened. ”

Cai Song suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "That's right!" Along the way, I always heard that Zheng Yi was blessed by the god Ji, have you heard about this? ”

Cai Mao replied: "I know a little. But you don't really believe in such a thing, do you? ”

Cai Song: "What's going on, tell me." ”

Cai Mao told Cai Song a little bit about the news he had heard these days.

Cai Song said: "You said that the son-in-law did it?" ”

Cai Mao nodded, "Actually, everyone's harvest is not good this year, but just that piece of harvest has been harvested, and under the false rumors of some ignorant people, there are rumors that the gods are blessed." ”

Cai Song: "What's going on?" Why is it that only that field will have a good harvest? ”

Cai Mao: "I don't know, but it should have something to do with his farming methods. ”

Cai Song: "Tell me." ”

Then, Cai Mao gave a general explanation of how Qin Xin farmed. This quickly aroused Cai Song's interest and asked, "Do you know the truth in this?" ”

Cai Mao shook his head, after all, he didn't care about this piece. And maybe Cai Song has a good relationship with himself, so Cai Mao said a few more words, "I heard that this son is already well-known in his hometown, and he is praised by his teacher for never getting tired of learning and never letting go of the papers." Half a year ago, I didn't know where Xiang Dong heard the news, so I went to my son's hometown in person and asked for someone back. I say that, are you already interested in him? ”

Cai Song said: "It's already a little bit, but I still need to say a little more." ”

Cai Mao laughed angrily and said, "Get out!" If you want to know anything, you can send someone to find out yourself. ”

Cai Song: "Don't you already have a ready-made one here?" Why should I waste so much time looking it up? And I can trust you as a person. ”

However, Cai Mao still kept his mouth shut and did not speak. After all, he has always been good at protecting his reputation. If he recommended the son-in-law to Cai Song, but Cai Song was not satisfied in the end, wouldn't he be to blame.

Originally, Cai Mao didn't plan to look at Qin Xin twice, but because the reputation of the field that Qin Xin had cultivated recently was too famous, he couldn't help it. I don't know if it's the god stick, the blessing of the god who boasted about it.

Shaoqing, after sending Cai Song away. Cai Mao looked alone in the direction where Zheng He's tomb was located, and said to himself: "Is this kid the hope you left for the Zheng family?" But...... At least it's better than nothing at all. After Cai Mao finished speaking, he shook his head and left the front hall.
