Chapter 127: Hope for the Future

Hearing that a new high-yield crop had been discovered in Changhai County, Lord Cao was overjoyed, and without waiting for King You's request, he took the initiative to ask for a visit to Changhai County.

rushed all the way to Dong's house, and after Master Cao briefly freshened up, he asked Dong Changhe to take him to the field to have a look.

Dong Changhe and Feng Xianling like this kind of vigorous and resolute person, and they also actively cooperate.

Since then, the guest garden of Dong's house has become the exclusive courtyard of Lord Cao, and he only brought one servant himself, Dong Changhe temporarily transferred Zhang Dongxiang, who was driving the car, and Jin Hu in the backyard to Yongde Courtyard for him to call.

Dong Changhe didn't have much time, and Steward Zhou was responsible for accompanying Master Cao to do research and record-keeping.

In the golden autumn of October, all kinds of crops in the field are ripening one after another, and it is the harvest season of the year.

This year, the Dong family ushered in a bumper harvest, not to mention other grains, even the silk has harvested a lot.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes, due to the proper handling of Steward Zhou, were even more than the expected harvest.

The happiest person is not Dong Changhe, but Lord Cao, who has been stationed in the Dong family.

Nearly 220,000 catties of potatoes and 22,000 catties of sweet potatoes took nearly ten days to harvest these alone.

Although the Dong family and Master Cao wanted to keep it secret, such a big move still became a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in Dongjia Village.

Fortunately, with the help of Feng County's order, it did not spread out in a large area.

On this day, Lord Cao packed up his bags, and when he had an evening meal with Dong Changhe, he said: "Brother Xian, this official has lived in Dong's house for a few months, thanks to his care, today this official borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and I salute Brother Xian with a cup."

Tomorrow, the Japanese official will return to Beijing to report on his work, how will I report the situation here to King You. ”

"Your Excellency is polite, the humble house is shabby, these days you have been offended, the students do it first as a respect!" After Dong Changhe finished speaking, he drank the rice wine in the cup in one gulp.

"Brother Xian is polite." Master Cao also drank the wine in the cup.

After eating a few bites of food, Master Cao put down the chopsticks in his hand and said sincerely: "Brother Xian, after the official leaves, I hope you must keep which potatoes and sweet potatoes you have, you must know that this is the hope of the future."

If we plant it properly next year, within five years, we will be able to bloom potatoes everywhere on the land in the north and climb with sweet potato vines everywhere!"

"Lord Cao is at ease, this student can guarantee this, and Lord Feng is not at ease, he told me that he will send two officials to live in Dong's house to prevent Xiaoxiao from beating them!" Dong Changhe smiled and comforted.

"That's great, I can go back to my life with peace of mind." Master Cao was finally relieved and smiled comfortably.

After getting along with Lord Cao for more than two months, Dong Changhe knew that this person had no heart, and he was all devoted to farming.

He was leaving, Dong Changhe was not reluctant, he asked with a smile: "The character of the adult is admired, if our Daxi Dynasty can have more officials like Lord Cao, it will be good!"

"Brother Xian has won the award, and I have also done my duty as an official.

I heard that the ancestor of the virtuous brother was also the prime minister of the previous dynasty, and now although the virtuous brother cannot enter the imperial examination, but in terms of today's merits, your future is also there.

For talents like Brother Xian, King Youwang and the court will not turn a blind eye. Master Cao drank the wine in the cup and said approvingly.

"I borrowed the good words of my lord! Students who don't take credit don't care, and I'm also hard to be rewarded. Master Cao looks like a good student, but unfortunately I know my own body and can't stand the toss.

Now the student doesn't ask for anything else, but hopes that he can protect his wife and children in the future with his own strength, and I have nothing else to ask for!

Presumably adults have also seen the little girl in the family, she looks like that, and the student is really worried as a father.

Adults may not know that I have a cousin who has been outstanding since childhood, and my uncle was weak back then, and although he tried his best, he couldn't protect her......"

Master Cao has stayed in Dong's house for so long, and he has seen Dong Xue'er's sister and brother, to be honest, he was also shocked when he saw Dong Xue'er.

Although Dong Xueer is only seven years old, her appearance is indeed outstanding! Even two-year-old Dong Chengze is a rare beautiful boy.

In this way, Dong Changhe's worries are not unreasonable.

He thought for a while and said, "Brother Xian doesn't have to worry, with today's merits, it is a matter of time before he is rewarded, Ling Yan is indeed outstanding, if you want to protect this child, it must not be difficult!"

"Lord Cao didn't know that these potatoes and sweet potatoes were accidentally discovered when the little girl went up the mountain to herd sheep.

The little girl has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. Originally, there was no one in the family, and she helped Neiko with housework and took her younger brother!

I am deeply ashamed to say that the student has been ignoring the child because he has been childless for many years.

But the little girl never complained, and still respected me as a father and cared for her mother. Dong Changhe said with emotion, and poured himself a full bottle of wine again, and there was no drop of wine left in one go.

Master Cao didn't know that there was such a relationship in this, so he asked, "It turns out that these potatoes and sweet potatoes were found by Ling Yan in the mountains?"

Dong Changhe nodded: "Indeed." The little girl has been smart since she was a child, reading and learning calligraphy, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not inferior to everyone's beautiful girls, and she is also very disciplined in doing things.

Although he is only seven years old this year, he is unusually familiar with things. Her powers of observation are amazing.

Speaking of this Jiupan Mountain, which has stood in Changhai County for many years, the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft water, how many people rely on this Jiupan Mountain to survive, and even make a fortune. And their eyes are only on those valuable mountain goods, and no one has ever found such a good thing.

Don't talk about other people, let's just talk about students and Uchiko, who are also frequent visitors in Jiupan Mountain, but unfortunately, no one has ever found such a good thing!"

Lord Cao was thoughtful, he knew Dong Changhe's personality very well, this person seemed easy-going and wanton on the surface, but in fact he was quite a successful character.

On the surface, his words today seem to have been with him for a long time, and he said something confidant, but in fact, he doesn't know what plans he has in it, and Lord Cao really can't figure it out.

But he also knows that Dong Changhe will not lie, and this person is still principled in what he does.

"Although Ling Benguan has not had much contact, he is indeed a smart and clever good child." In the end, Lord Cao could only sigh like this.

Think about what your children are doing at Dong Xueer's age? In comparison, Dong Changhe is not boasting, Dong Xueer's is indeed worthy of Dong Changhe to show off.

"But it's also a virtuous brother with a unique vision, come, for the sake of the people of the world, this official will salute the virtuous brother again......" Lord Cao raised the wine glass in his hand and thanked him seriously.

Dong Changhe said everything he wanted to say, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "Don't dare, don't dare to ......"

This send-off banquet can be said to be a joy for the guests and hosts, Lord Cao is happy because he has completed the task, and Dong Changhe is happy because he has achieved his goal.
