Chapter 135: Field Observation
Lu Ning's words confused the two bigwigs, Li Shanchang glanced at Liu Bowen, and didn't know what he said wrong.
So, Liu Bowen came out to play a round and said.
"Brother Zi'an, we plan to live here for a while, to see the experience of Changning County's governance, and after we go back, Zhongshu Province will promote it to various provinces, you won't mind, right?"
It should be said that this is a more legitimate request, and Lu Ning has no reason to refuse, as long as they don't mention recommending themselves anymore.
Thinking of this, Lu Ning said directly and politely.
"You don't have to be so polite with me, when you come to Changning County, everyone is friends, you can live as long as you want, anyway, I have a lot of houses here, you can eat and live as much as you want."
Hearing this, Liu Bowen first took a drink, and then said.
"Brother Zi'an, you have such a bold personality, we have made you the right friend."
Lu Ning smiled before replying.
"As long as you don't mention anything about promotion to knighthood, I'll discuss everything."
As soon as he said this, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen didn't know how to answer in an instant.
There are a few people in this world who don't look forward to being added to the ranks, but this person seems to have been avoiding them.
However, people have their own aspirations, and they naturally don't want to continue to ask anything, so they don't say more, and everything is subject to your arrangement.
They stayed here for one night, and after getting up the next morning and having breakfast, Lu Ning said with a smile.
"Two, don't you want to see the new atmosphere here in my Changning County? Why don't you follow me around the fields? ”
Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang are both in the center, they are both bigwigs of the imperial court, and they haven't seen what the crops look like for many years.
At this time, someone told them that they were going to take them around the fields, which was really new.
However, I came here to learn a little more, otherwise I would have no way to explain to Zhu Yuanzhang when I went back.
The two nodded, indicating that they were willing to follow Lu Ning to see the crops here.
Lu Ning first took them to his Huangzhuang experimental field and told them.
"This place is the land of the imperial village given to me by the imperial court, and the crops such as potatoes, black beans and sweet potatoes purchased by the National Products Division are all grown here."
What kind of value these crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes have, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, who are in the center, are too clear, and they are simply god-like existences.
Because of this, Lu Ning was made a baron, and later promoted to a viscount.
Lu Ning brought these two bigwigs to the field, not just to introduce what was going on with the crops, but also to let them experience the joy of labor.
After finishing the matter, the two of them were already tired and out of breath, and Liu Bowen, who was very helpless, said.
"Brother Zi'an, after all, we are already a little old, can we stop doing farm work in the afternoon."
Li Shanchang also echoed the voice, feeling that what Liu Bowen said was too right, and if he continued to do this, it would be possible to die of exhaustion here.
After listening to their words, Lu Ning replied with a smile.
"It seems that the two of them are really civil officials, and they are good at dealing with official documents, and it is really difficult for you to work in the field, okay, we will definitely not work in the afternoon, and let you have a good meal at noon."
The two of them were too tired from doing farm work, and their appetites were also great, and when they saw roasted sweet potatoes and pork and potato stewed vermicelli, they all ate them directly.
This kind of eating looks like a big man in the court at all, and Lu Ning couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"You two seem to be really tired, but what do you think of the taste of our roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes?"
Li Shanchang said with a thumbs up.
"I heard about potatoes, a food that yields thousands of catties per mu, and thought it was so unpalatable, it seems that this is a misunderstanding, this thing is so delicious, and this sweet potato is also a good thing that is fragrant and delicious."
Liu Bowen didn't care about greetings, and ate there with relish.
After eating, Lu Ning proposed to let the two of them rest for a while at noon, and there were other things to do in the afternoon.
After taking a nap, Lu Ning took them to the fish pond here, and let them visit the Changning big carp and the fish feed made by himself.
As for the storage cellar and ice cubes, they were all not reserved for these two to visit.
At the end of this day, they have completely opened their eyes, and they also have an up-to-date understanding of Lu Ning.
This guy not only invents, but also does the same for people's livelihood all the way, which is really amazing.
In the evening, they were also extremely polite to Lu Ning at the wine table.
At this time, Liu Changlu, the prefect of Changzhou, happened to come to Lu Ning to discuss things, and when he saw that there were guests here, he asked Lu Ning to introduce him.
Lu Ning pointed at Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang very casually, and said.
"These two are the four products of Zhongshu Province, both of them are subordinates of Li Xiangguo of the current dynasty, and they both came to Changning for business and live with me temporarily."
After speaking, he introduced Liu Changlu to the two of them, saying that it was his friend, and he was also the last county magistrate of Changning County, and his political achievements were remarkable.
Li Shanchang nodded seriously, and silently wrote down the name from the bottom of his heart.
He knows very well that being able to be friends with a talent like Lu Ning is naturally not an ordinary person.
After a meal, it was the guests and the hosts enjoying themselves, and Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen both had a good impression of this chubby Changzhou prefect.
