Dongshuanghe Town has achieved such impressive results in such a short period of time, which aroused the strong curiosity of Governor Chen and Zhao Jiacheng to go to Xincun to find out.

The road to the new village is easy to find and is known to almost everyone in the town.

Governor Chen was walking on the mountain road to Xincun, and a young man strode past them, obviously heading to Xincun, and Governor Chen hurriedly shouted: "Son, please stay!" ”

The young man stopped, turned back and asked, "Excuse me, are you calling me?" ”

Governor Chen said: "Exactly, I want to inquire about the road to Xincun?" ”

The young man said: "There are three new villages, Zhangjia New Village, New First Village, and New Second Village, which new village are you asking?" ”

Governor Chen said: "I went to visit Yu Lichang, which new village should I go to?" ”

"That's Zhangjia New Village, the elder lives there, I'm going to Zhangjia New Village, I'll take you there." The young man said cheerfully, his respect for the governor was overflowing.

Governor Chen said happily: "That's great, thank you Gongzi for showing the way, may I ask your honorable name?" ”

The young man said: "My surname is Xu, and my name is Duoshui. ”

Governor Chen walked and chatted with many watersides and went to the new village.

A lot of water is very able to say, and he gushed about Yu Xiang's meeting in Dongshuanghe Town, and the matter of planting sweet potatoes in poor households was vividly recounted, and they listened to it with relish.

Many people said proudly: "At the beginning, many people were reluctant to plant sweet potatoes, and my father couldn't sleep with sadness, but now, everyone is happy to grow sweet potatoes." In previous years, it rained every day at this time, but this year, it has not rained for more than 20 days, and the rich farmers who grow rice are worried about the water. The sweet potatoes have now been planted. ”

Governor Chen asked curiously: "Why do the poor households plant sweet potatoes, but the rich households do not?" ”

"This is the chief is simply the protector of the poor, at the beginning everyone didn't understand that the long and strong * poor households planted sweet potatoes, the rich people thought that the chief was bullying the poor households, looking at the weather now, everyone thinks that the chief is a god of heaven, it seems that he can pinch and calculate, which has helped the poor a lot." A lot of water said proudly.

Governor Chen listened to a lot of water's words, and couldn't help but sweat for Yu Xiang, and said in his heart: "This Yu Xiang, he is bold enough, if these poor households don't harvest, how can they bear the responsibility?" If you don't get it, you have to turn around, what is Yu Xiang doing this? ”

"This sweet potato has never been planted before, aren't the poor afraid that the grain will not be harvested?" Governor Chen asked.

"At first, we were all worried about this, but when we saw that all the sweet potatoes were planted in the new village, this concern was gone, and the chief had no reason to harm others and himself. We don't have to worry about technical problems, no, I went to the new village today to participate in technical training, I was selected by the team leader, as a representative of our village technicians to participate in the training, others do not have this opportunity. There was a bit of smugness in a lot of water words.

Governor Chen listened to this, Yu Xiang was giving full play to the masses, selecting activists in each village, training them into technicians, and then these technicians managed the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the village and solved technical problems. This practice fully mobilizes and gives full play to the enthusiasm of the people, which undoubtedly saves a lot of manpower and material resources for the new village. He couldn't help but approve of this approach in his heart.

While talking, a group of them came to the gate of the new village, a group of people stood at the gate of the new village and discussed something, and Goudan was talking to Huang Sanbo.

A lot of water ran to the dog and said, "Captain, a few people have come to find the captain." ”

Goudan heard that someone was looking for the chief, and he didn't dare to slack off, he looked at Governor Chen's mansion carefully, and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He brought Governor Chen to the gate of Xincun and said politely: "Please wait here, I'll go and talk to the doorman." ”

Governor Chen saw the dog go in, and after saying a few words to the person who looked like the leader, the two walked out together.

Goudan said to Governor Chen: "This is squad leader Liu of the guard squad, if you have something, just tell him, I'm busy over there, so I won't accompany you first." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Besides, Governor Chen looked at the squad leader Liu in front of him, and saw that he had short hair, a Chinese face, two thick eyebrows, small eyes, a firm nose bridge, and a good young man.

Captain Liu greeted him kindly: "You come to register first, I will immediately send someone to invite the lieutenant chief, only if he comes to claim it in person, you can enter the village." Please come with me. ”

Captain Liu took a few people to the reception room to register and sent someone to invite Yu Xiang.

After a while, Yu Xiang entered the reception room.

Seeing the prefect of Chen, who was dressed as a merchant, Yu Xiang recognized it at once, and hurriedly leaned over and bowed: "The little people don't know that the prefect has arrived, please forgive me!" ”

Captain Liu, who was next to him, saw that the chief knelt down for this person, and knew that the person in front of him was extraordinary, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope to understand." ”

Governor Chen's self-esteem was greatly satisfied at this time, and he was often bowed down by his subordinates on weekdays, but he didn't feel as comfortable as he did today, and the reason for this was not clear.

Governor Chen helped the two of them up and said: "Today, this mansion is not wearing official uniforms, not coming as an official of the imperial court, you don't have to be polite, you don't have to stick to etiquette, not to mention that I came to visit rashly, there are many disturbances, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Yu Xiang hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is polite, it is an honor for you to come to Xincun and let us shine." The prefect is busy with official business. This time I came to Xincun, there must be a deep meaning, what I need to do, although I have made it clear, I will do my best. ”

Chen Zhifu said: "Congwen, this new village is now famous, I came this time, just to take a good look at the construction of the new village, I came to learn the construction experience of the new village, I want to have a good tour of the new village, and Lao Congwen is the guide." ”

After Yu Xiang and Governor Chen greeted him for a while, he said to Captain Liu: "Issue an identity card to Governor Chen and inform the kitchen to prepare meals." ”

Captain Liu was ordered to go.

Yu Xiang took a few people to visit the new village, along the way Yu Xiang introduced the new village canteen, bathhouse, toilet, school, theater and infirmary to Chen Zhifu, although the new village is only a small place, but the supporting facilities are very complete, only to hear Zhao Jiacheng in the bottom of his heart again and again admiration.

However, Yu Xiang just didn't take them to visit the training ground in Xincun because he didn't want to expose the training situation in Xincun too early, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the prefect and thus incur unnecessary trouble.

At the request of the prefect Chen, in the afternoon, Yu Xiang took the prefect of Chen and his party to the new first village, the second village, Yu Xiang introduced the circular agriculture to the prefect of Chen in detail, and took the prefect to visit the chicken farm, pig farm, cattle farm, and visited the horses and sheep of the new village.

After it got dark, after settling Zhao Jiacheng and the three of them to rest in the residence, Yu Xiang invited Governor Chen to have a private chat in Yu Xiang's bedroom.

Yu Xiang had already ordered someone to set up a table, and they sat at the table to talk. Governor Chen also talked with Yu Xiang with great interest about some things in Xincun, and said that Xincun School, Yu Xiang remembered Chen Xiuwen, and Yu Xiang asked: "Would you like to see Miss Chen Xiuwen tomorrow?" ”

Governor Chen said: "I haven't seen her for a long time, I miss her very much, let's see her tomorrow." ”

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Yu Xiang said, "Please come in, the door is not closed." ”

At this time, a red figure pushed the door in, and before anyone came in, the red lady said happily: "Xianggong, I have good news for you, Jia Binjiu may be coming back in the next two days, saying that he has invited the steel king Li, who just got the news from Zhao Sizizi." ”

When Yu Xiang heard this, he was very happy and said, "Great! This Zhao Si and Zhou Zhengxin didn't come with them today, right? ”

The red lady smiled: "What's the matter, are you afraid of them?" ”

Yu Xiang said: "That's not it, I have distinguished guests here today, and I don't want them to affect our conversation. ”

When the red lady heard this, she glanced at the room, and she found that there was still a person sitting at the table.

Yu Xiang hurriedly introduced: "Matchmaker, come over and see the prefect!" ”

The red lady was even more shocked when she heard the prefect's visit, and she was in the training ground all day today, discussing military training and weapon making with Qi Dayong and Kong Huayang. Because of this, she didn't know anything about the prefect's private visit to Weifu today.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Governor Chen looked at the red lady carefully, and just now he heard her call Yu Xiang again, and roughly guessed the relationship between the red lady and Yu Xiang. Seeing that the red lady is as beautiful as a flower, and is the head of Xincun, managing everything in Xincun, she is simply a strange woman who attaches equal importance to wisdom and beauty, and then carefully observe Yu Xiang and her movements and expressions, the two are very tacit and have husband and wife.

The prefect thought to himself: "In the middle of the night, a young and beautiful woman casually went in and out of Yu Xiang's room, the relationship between the two is unusual, if they get married first, then Chen Siyi can only be a concubine at that time, if it spreads, it will not make people laugh off their big teeth." ”

Just when Governor Chen was thinking in his heart, there was a knock on the door again, and a gorgeous and wealthy woman in blue came in, she was of course Miss Xu San.

Miss Xu San was at the door, saw the red lady at a glance, and quipped: "Sister Hongniang is always one step faster than me, no wonder our elder has a soft spot for you, I haven't found the lieutenant chief for a day today, so I have to come to disturb at night." ”

The red lady suddenly had a frost on her pretty face, pretending not to hear.

Yu Xiang hurriedly said to Miss Xu San: "Miss Xu San, come and see Governor Chen's mansion." ”

When Miss Xu San saw that there was a living person, and heard that it was the prefect, she suddenly became serious, doing business, and it was rare to deal with officials like the prefect, so she was busy giving gifts to the prefect Chen.

Seeing that Miss Xu San was as beautiful as a fairy and a famous wealthy businessman in Fucheng, Governor Chen couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart. When the red lady saw Miss Xu San's expression just now, Governor Chen guessed that they must be rivals, thinking of the second, the prefect's heart was tight: originally thought about it for a while, wait for Yu Xiang's sweet potato cultivation to be successful, and then consider the marriage between Yu Xiang and his daughter, but now it seems that if it is one step later, I am afraid that it will become a three-room concubine, which Governor Chen will not accept anyway.

Governor Chen was thinking nonsense, at this time, the door was knocked again, Governor Chen was startled, and said in his heart: Could it be that another beautiful woman is visiting late at night?

At this time, the door opened, dressed in white, fluttering like a fairy, a familiar figure, not seen for a few days, has become calm and generous, she is Chen Siyi, Chen Xiuwen.

As soon as Chen Siyi entered the door, he was stunned at first when he saw Chen Zhifu sitting next to the table, and then walked quickly to Chen Zhifu and saluted Chen Zhifu: "My daughter doesn't know that her father has arrived, please forgive me!" ”

Governor Chen hesitated for a moment, and saw that his identity had been picked up by his daughter, so he simply helped Chen Siyi up generously and said, "Siyi, I haven't seen you for a few days, your mother and I miss you very much." ”

When Yu Xiang, Red Lady and Miss Xu San heard that this Chen Xiuwen was actually the daughter of the prefect, they were surprised.

The red lady and Miss Xu San even felt that a storm was coming.
