As the name suggests, the Department of Agriculture is an organization that deals with agriculture.

It is in charge of the world's farming system and planting technology.

Bai Dazhuang is no stranger to this institution.

He was invited by Liu Hong to be a technical guide for sweet potato seedlings in Huaicheng, and he met the people from the Si Nong Department.

To be honest, Bai Dazhuang didn't have much affection for those officials who came from Si Nong.

As officials involved in farming, they not only have no relevant experience in farming, but they are rarely willing to go into the fields and deal with farmers.

When Bai Dazhuang worked with them, they looked down on Bai Dazhuang as a farmer.

Even if he cultivated sweet potato seedlings, he still didn't get respect.

If it weren't for Liu Hong's prefect to support him, it is estimated that the officials of the Agricultural Department would not have adopted his cultivation method at the beginning.

It's no wonder that Meng Zhixu got the Yan millet from the border back then, and they couldn't cultivate it for many years

This institution has lost its meaning of existence here in Bai Dazhuang.

"Fourth brother, I have no interest in being an official." Bai Dazhuang said.

"Besides, I can't eat in the same pot with them."

Bai Dazhuang means that he doesn't want to be restrained by them, and he has to obey their command to plant a field and raise seedlings, which really doesn't mean much, he wants to cultivate crops freely.

After cultivating, it will be promoted to benefit the big guys.

Bai Dazhuang does not have much pursuit of fame and profit.

But Bai Panmei didn't think so, he thought that the person who was in the corpse position was purely occupying the pit and not at the Si Nong's place, and he needed a more suitable person to go.

In addition, Bai Panmei herself comes from a farmer's family and knows the difficulties of farmers.

I just want to do something that will help the agricultural harvest.

Although the eldest brother is not very literate, he has rich experience, is familiar with farming, and personally ploughs the acres.

If the eldest brother goes to the Department of Agriculture, he uses the work responsibilities of the Department of Agriculture to cultivate improved varieties and use the influence of the Department of Agriculture to promote high-quality crops, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone.

Bai Panmei thought like this and told the truth to her eldest brother.

Bai Dazhuang hesitated.

Xiao Fuyuan clapped his hands on the side and said, "Big brother, I agree with what the fourth brother said. ”

She doesn't want her eldest brother to be buried as an excellent agricultural technical talent, the eldest brother lives in ancient times, if he is a successor to Grandpa Yuan in modern times.

Bai Dazhuang saw that his sister supported him to go to Si Nong's place, and his heart moved, and he frowned again and said: "But that has to be selected through the imperial examination, I can only know a few big characters, how can I get in?" ”

Bai Dazhuang was timid and unconfident at the thought of being an official.

Bai Panmei said: "Big brother, you don't know, Si Nong's office is different from other places, and it pays the most attention to experience. If you have experience in seedling breeding, you can be admitted on a merit-based basis. Big brother has cultivated millet and sweet potatoes, and your credit can be attributed to the entire Si Nong. ”

San Lang added on the side: "My master Liu Yishou is now in charge of the imperial kitchen, and he has no exams. The imperial kitchen is cooking, Sinong is farming, if cooking and farming rely on studying, then the fourth uncle is not the most suitable. Since the fourth uncle can't go to these two places, it means that the food in these two places is delicious and the good in the field is more important than being able to read. ”

Bai Panmei: "......"

Xiao Fuyuan felt that what San Lang said was more reasonable.

So he echoed on the side: "Big brother, your credit is so great, it's no problem to go in." ”

Besides, the last time the eldest brother cultivated the Yan millet seed, the emperor only rewarded the eldest brother with a hundred taels of gold, which was far from enough.

There are also sweet potatoes in the fields of Huaicheng that are still growing, and it will be a bumper harvest in the autumn, so it is not too much to advance the reward.

No reward is more important than mastering the Division.

If the eldest brother goes to the Sinong place, it will only be good for the people of the world.

The brother and sister and the two nephews did not tell the family that Bai Dazhuang was going to Si Nong's place.

After all, everything is in the conceptual stage, and the concrete has not yet been realized.

Bai Panmei said that she would do it, and wrote an excerpt that night and handed it over.

The emperor still has an impression of Bai Dazhuang's cultivation of Yan Xiao.

And the emperor already knew that Bai Dazhuang had cultivated sweet potatoes, which grew in the fields of Huaicheng at this time, and as long as there was a bumper harvest in autumn, he was ready to seal Bai Dazhuang and find the sweet potatoes.

After receiving Bai Panmei's excerpt, the emperor felt that it was better to let Bai Dazhuang go to Si Nong's place to shine than to give Bai Dazhuang any kind of reward.

The emperor had already had an opinion on the Sinong Division, and also sent a fleet to Nanyang and a caravan to Persia, but none of them found better seeds, and even if they did, they were not cultivated.

I don't know if it's because the level is not enough or if I just care about fighting in the nest, anyway, the work is extremely dissatisfying to the emperor.

A breeding and seedling expert like Bai Dazhuang should go to the Department of Agriculture to correct the atmosphere.

So a decree was issued to the Bai family.

For receiving the order again, Mrs. Bai and the others were very confused, and when they heard the will for Bai Dazhuang, they were even more confused.

Bai Dazhuang was named the agricultural official of the agricultural department, although it was only from the ninth grade, but it was Bai Dazhuang's leap from a farmer to an official.

Bai Dazhuang's hand holding the holy decree was trembling.

Although the fourth brother and sister talked to him about the Si Nong, he was in a mood of impatience, and when he made a will, he was still excited.

He is Bai Dazhuang, no longer Bai Dazhuang in Shenshu Village, but Bai Dazhuang in Si Nong's office.

He wants to do something more meaningful, not just to let his family fetch more loads of grain.

He wants to feed everyone in the world.

The most surprising thing is Xie Chuntao, who said that studying can glorify his ancestors, why was this man still an official for farming?

Without waiting for Mrs. Bai and the others to get up and thank them, the father-in-law who announced the decree once again came up with a will, which was to seal Bai Sanzhuang as the city's shipper, although it was also from the ninth, but it was officially recognized Bai Sanzhuang's contribution to shipping, as well as affirmed the credit of bringing back sweet potatoes from Nanyang.

At this moment, Bai Sanzhuang is finally no longer looked down upon because he is a businessman, and even his children will not be subject to all kinds of restrictions because of their businessman background.

The Bai family was appointed two officials at once.

The excited old lady Bai burst into tears, if it weren't for the burning of the edict, she would have shown contempt for the royal family, she really wanted to burn the bright silk paper to her ancestors.

Mrs. Bai just wanted to take her family to stand up again and thank her, but the father-in-law who announced the decree said with a smile: "Old lady, don't panic and thank you, there is still a finale will." ”

What is the purpose of the finale?

The Bai family listened with their ears shut.

The finale was decreed as a canonized edict to canonize Xiao Fuyuan as the lord of the county.

From today on, Xiao Fuyuan has been gloriously promoted from the lord of Furong to the lord of Furong County.

When the emperor sealed Bai Dazhuang and Bai Sanzhuang, he was reminded by Ah Zhen beside him that it was Xiao Fuyuan who found the sweet potatoes in Nanyang while reading a book, so he asked Bai Sanzhuang to bring them back.

Without Xiao Fuyuan's carefulness, Bai Sanzhuang would not have been able to bring back sweet potatoes, and Bai Dazhuang would not have been able to cultivate sweet potato seedlings and plant them smoothly in the ground.

The emperor thinks that there is nothing wrong with this logic, and the person with the greatest credit is indeed Xiao Fuyuan, both brothers have been sealed, and there is no reason not to seal her.

So a canonization edict from the lord of the county was issued.
