"I know what you mean." Meng Changqing said, "I will not disappoint your kindness." ”

"Okay."

At this point, I suddenly heard the voice of the official outside the door, "Do you want to ......?"

They were whispering, and if it weren't for the fact that there was no movement in the study, they wouldn't have been heard.

"What's the matter?" Wei Fangyun asked in a loud voice.

The official guarding the door immediately pushed the door in, "Lord Hui, the kitchen has cooked the things that Master Meng brought, and I ask if you want to bring them to you to taste." ”

"Bring it quickly."

Meng Changqing felt that it was wrong, it had only been a long time, and the sweet potatoes couldn't be cooked so quickly.

When Meng Changqing took it in his hand and tried to break it, he knew that it was really not cooked, "Uncle, it's not cooked yet, let people take it down and continue cooking." Meng Changqing said to the official who boiled the sweet potato, "It is considered cooked only if you can use chopsticks to pierce it easily." ”

The official was very embarrassed, holding the sweet potatoes in front of several people in his hands, and apologized again and again.

Meng Changqing said: "You haven't been exposed to this kind of thing, blame me for not making it clear in advance." ”

"It's not a problem." Wei Fangyun handed the sweet potato that had been separated in his hand to the servant, "Then cook it for a while." ”

After waiting for the others to go out, Wei Fangyun smelled the residual sweet potato smell on his hands, "I don't know what your thing tastes like." ”

"Uncle will find out later."

Wei Fangyun wiped his hands, "Then wait." ”

Seeing the sweet potato, Wei Fangyun talked about this year's annual success, "It's as smooth as the previous two years, this year will definitely be a bumper harvest year, and if there are a few more such annual fruits, the people's life will be better."

If the external troubles are completely blocked and the bandits are cleared inside, the people are really going to live a fairy life. ”

Meng Changqing said: "Uncle, that is the life that the people of Daliang should live. ”

Wei Fangyun smiled and nodded, "It's okay to live the life you deserve, but it's a pity that people's hearts are always not satisfied." Saying this, his gaze swept over Chu Mufeng, "Businessmen always want more money, officials always want more rights, and those who don't do anything, they want to get rich overnight, so they block the road and rob and fall into the grass." ”

"If people's hearts are to be satisfied, it must be a world where there is no gap between the rich and the poor, there is no distinction between the upper and the lower, and people have no desires and no desires, and it will not be a world." Meng Changqing said, "Uncle, it may not be a bad thing to be dissatisfied. ”

Wei Fangyun smiled, "I can't say you. ”

About two quarters of an hour later, the official outside came over with the sweet potatoes that had just come out of the pot, and before he reached the door, Wei Fangyun smelled the fragrance of sweet potatoes, "This smells good." ”

His hands were not afraid of burning at all, so he picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth.

But he didn't want his tongue to be unable to stand the heat, so he sighed with a piece of sweet potato in his mouth, "It's actually sweet!" He swallowed it with surprise in his eyes, "This thing is quite delicious, you can eat it too." ”

Wei Fangyun studied the sweet potato in his hand while eating, and after he finished eating one, he couldn't stop nodding, "This is called sweet potato, no wonder it's called sweet potato, this skin is red."

It's beautiful and delicious, and the yield is still high, so why didn't you plant it early. ”

"Uncle, this sweet potato is only one of the potato species, and there are some varieties that are bigger than it, but they don't taste as good as it. Therefore, when I was in the capital, only sweet potatoes were the first to be accepted, and the most people planted them. ”

"I see."

"There is another thing, if you eat this sweet potato occasionally, you will feel delicious, but if you eat it for many months as an adult, you will not feel how delicious it is, and if you eat too much of this thing, you will be flatulent, especially for children and people with weak stomachs."

Wei Fangyun said: "Ordinary people don't eat too much of anything, you can rest assured."

This sweet potato has so many benefits, next year other counties will definitely ask you to borrow potato seeds, and you will have people teach them then. ”

"Yes, Changqing will have no reservations."

The group stayed in Wei Fangyun's study until Shen Shichu and left.

Seeing that the hour was still early, when Meng Changqing passed by Yangmen County, he turned around to the county government of Yangmen County.

It was a coincidence that she came, and it happened that Mao Chunfang was in the county government and was idle, so when she saw her coming, she directly pulled people in and chatted with her.

"A few days ago, a young general from the Weishan camp passed through our county, and I heard that the person was a friend of Master Meng since childhood."

"I've known each other since I was a child, but I don't dare to say it's a friend." Meng Changqing said bluntly, "General Chen Xiao, who was born in a kind family, doesn't mind dealing with us people. ”

"Master Meng is too humble." Mao Chunfang had a penetrating expression, "If I don't regard you as a friend, how can I remember your birthday." ”

"Master Mao, don't make fun of me, it's easy to remember the day I was born." Meng Changqing asked Mao Chunfang rhetorically, "What did General Chen Xiao say to Master Mao, why did Master Mao know so clearly?" ”

"Hey, it's a shame to say." Mao Chunfang shook her head, "I'm embarrassed to tell you."

In the past two years, there have always been bandits in my county, and those people always seem to be unable to catch them, this is not General Chen Xiao, with a bag of sweet potatoes you gave, and there are so many guards around to escort them, those bandits thought that the bag was something valuable, so they moved the idea of robbery.

Although a mechanism was set up, it was still easily caught by the people around General Chen Xiao, and it was finally sent to me.

That's why I said a few more words to the little general. ”

"The bandits who block the road and rob should really think of a way, the little general is now a talent who is valued in the court, he is not injured, if he is really seriously injured, then you and I will be in big trouble."

"Yes, I'm glad to see that the little general is unharmed." Mao Chunfang sighed, "This dynasty implements benevolent government, as long as it is not a sinner who hurts people's lives and is extremely vicious, it cannot be punished with capital crimes."

These robbers in my county, they are very cunning, they recognize this, they only rob property, and generally do not easily do not hurt people's lives. I caught this kind of robber, but I could only sentence them to a few years in prison, and when the time came, I had to release them.

These people who have been in prison for several years and then come out will continue to rob.

If you want me to say, only by catching one and killing one can we stop the unhealthy trend in Yangmen County today. Mao Chunfang said, "I want to learn more from you, but unfortunately if I learn from you, I'm afraid that my official position will not be guaranteed."

"It's different from county to county." Meng Changqing explained to himself, "I was forced to deal with them at that time, and if Lord Mao had a last resort, I think Lord Futai would also understand." ”

Mao Chunfang stretched out her hand and nodded at Meng Changqing, "You, you person, I don't see that you are not young, but you have many crooked ideas." ”

"I always think that their lives are also lives, and since they want to spare the lives of the robbed, I should also spare their lives, but I am too soft-hearted." Mao Chunfang sighed, "In officialdom, this is not a good thing. ”
