Chapter 1106: Hearing is false, seeing is believing
This willow black bear looks honest and speaks very straightforwardly, knowing that he is saying sycophants, but with the honest and sincere expression of the willow black bear, he can make others believe and gain the favor of others.
Such a person can be regarded as capable.
Tang Wende gave his hand again and echoed: "Such a good wish will soon come true!" β
The little man in the porter hurriedly took the letter and went to see the old lady.
Song Xiang is not seen by everyone, for example, right now, he is checking the homework of his three grandchildren.
Usually busy with things in the court, Song Xiang has no time to check his grandson's homework. It's rare to have a day off, and you have to keep an eye on your grandchildren's studies.
The scholarly family relies on reading, although he has become an official to the prime minister, but if the younger generations do not become successful, the family will also decline.
As for those outside who asked to see, Song Xiang couldn't see it, and he didn't want to waste time.
At this time, the little servant asked to see outside, "Please also report to the old lady, the county commander of Qingfeng County sent a letter to Lord Shen, and the locals followed to visit, saying that there is something important to tell you." β
This was explained by the old lady in advance, so she suddenly didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly went in to report.
When Song Xiang heard that Shen Bingzhu had sent the letter, he hurriedly opened it and read it, and was immediately stunned.
Shen Bingzhu actually found high-yield crops in Qingfeng County, with a yield of several thousand catties per mu.
Not only that, but they also sent people over.
If you want to recuperate, you not only need the imperial decree, but also need the people to have a harvest as soon as possible and have a full stomach.
If there can be such a high-yield crop, it will inevitably become an auspicious fortune for the establishment of a new dynasty.
If someone else told Song Xiang about these things, the rest might be suspicious, but Shen Bingzhu is his protΓ©gΓ©, with a calm personality and thoughtful work, it is absolutely impossible to talk nonsense about this matter.
After all, pretending to be auspicious is a bully, and he will be killed.
Song Xiang hurriedly said to the servant, "Let them in!" β
"Yes, old lady." The servant should go down, and then hurried out to ask for someone.
Song said to his three grandchildren: "Go back and study hard, and think about the points I pointed out and experience them carefully." β
"Yes, grandfather!" The three grandchildren saluted and then left.
Just as I was walking out of the courtyard of the study, I saw a group of several people at the door with a little girl going to the courtyard where my grandfather was a guest.
I only felt that this little girl was brightly dressed and had a vigorous body, with a high ponytail swaying, energetic and energetic.
I just didn't see the looks!
Song Xiang saw the people who came in, including Shen Bingzhu's personal servants Yueming and Yueye, and he also read the letter just now.
Song Xiang hurriedly asked, "You are Liu Guotai?" β
Liu Heixiong stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Yes, Lord Song, grass farmer Liu Guotai, this high-yield sweet potato was discovered by my wife and daughter, and they have figured out how to plant it." β
"Is it really that prolific?" Song Xiang was excited, but his face was not obvious.
Liu Heixiong replied solemnly: "Back to Lord Song, hearing is false, and seeing is believing." The grass people arrived in the capital three months ago, and they didn't want to make a big fuss in front of Song Xiang.
The grass people bought 50 acres of land in Lijia Village, 20 miles outside Xicheng, and now they are planting sweet potatoes. Three acres of land were planted first and are now ripe for picking. Lord Song, the grass people invite you to take a look, harvest on the spot, and weigh on the spot. β
Song Xiang was stunned, he didn't expect a former bandit to have such a thoughtful consideration. However, it is naturally excellent to have this heart.
Song Xiang nodded, "You're right, Liu Guotai, as long as what you say is true, you will definitely have a good future." But if it's fake, for the sake of Bingzhu's identity, I won't worry about you, and it will be a great achievement to go back to Qingfeng Mountain as soon as possible to manage the people who recruit over there. β
Liu Heixiong replied respectfully: "Lord Song, the grass people are not lying, if you don't believe it, leave now, let's go and see it now." β
At this time, Yueming stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Song, what Village Chief Liu said is true, those sweet potatoes are really high-yielding, my young master never speaks, let alone lie in such a thing." At the beginning of the new dynasty, it is precisely what is needed to inspire people, and high-yield crops are auspicious, stabilize the court, and appease the people. Uncle Liu didn't lie, and this can be testified to by his humble position. β
Song Xiang saw the straightforward Liu Heixiong, smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look." β
Song Xiang took the guards, got into the carriage, and went to Lijia Village.
Those who were waiting for the Song family, waiting to be interviewed, were notified that the old lady had gone out, and asked them to come over another day.
When Tang Wende came out, he saw Song Xiang's carriage following behind Liu Guotai and his party, and he thought about it. The person who can make Song Xiang travel can be seen to be unusual, and he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Although the weather was hot, everyone was excited.
The fruits of months of hard work, at this time, there are immediate results.
An hour and a half later, they arrived at Lijia Village.
When Village Chief Li saw so many people coming, he also hurried over to take a look, and when he learned that Liu Heixiong was going to start harvesting sweet potatoes, he immediately brought his son over to help.
Liu Heixiong stood beside Song Xiang and led him to the three acres of sweet potato fields that could be harvested in his house, "Song Xiang, this sweet potato has a high yield, and it is drought tolerant, and the requirements for land are not too high, basically it can be planted anywhere, but the yield of good land is higher." β
Song Xiang has been listening carefully to Liu Heixiong's words and keeping them in his heart.
After a while, they came to the ground. Song Xiang looked at these somewhat yellowed sweet potato seedlings, and was very puzzled, can this thing really produce edible rhizomes?
When he arrived at the ground, Song said to the steward who came over: "You go and measure one mu of land first, I want to see if the yield per mu is several thousand catties." β
"Yes, old lady." The servants should be ordered, and the old lady asked them to measure, because they did not want to be deceived, so they were more cautious.
Regarding Song Xiang's decision, Liu Heixiong expressed his understanding.
After all, if you can achieve the position of prime minister, your mind must not be an ordinary person, and this must be reported to the imperial court, if it is fake, Song Xiang will also be responsible.
Soon the servant measured it out and marked it.
Liu Heixiong said: "Lord Song, I have already asked people to bring the tools, and now we will start harvesting sweet potatoes." There's a pergola over there, why don't you go and rest for a while? β
Song Xiang waved his hand, "No, I want to see it with my own eyes." Begin to collect it. β
Being able to see Xiangrui with his own eyes is his merit, and he must not give up halfway, and Song Xiang must not miss it.
Since Song Xiangdu said so, Liu Heixiong didn't see it, and then nodded, "Then the grass people will take people to harvest sweet potatoes." β
More than 20 young men worked in the fields together.
Liu Yiyi carried the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Song Xiang, "Lord Song, drink a glass of water." The ground is hot, and it is easy to get heat stroke if you don't drink water. β
Song Xiang looked at the generous Liu Yiyi and smiled: "Thank you, little girl, what's your name?" β
