Summoning the heads of the towns below, Cui Pu said: "The county has already given you all a word a year ago, and I will find a village from the town below you to plant new things after the year." If this thing is really planted, it will be a great credit, and not only that village, but even the entire town will become famous all over the world. If the planting fails, the county will also give a certain amount of compensation. Do you have any of them asking for help now?"

The squires who were promoted, look at me, I look at you, and everyone's faces were full of embarrassment.

A person expected Ai Ai to say: "The county has the heart to seek the well-being of the people, which is a good thing." It's just that after going back, he discussed the matter with the elders of the town, and then called the Lizheng below to tell the county honorable you, and then asked them to go back and discuss with the people in the village. As a result, they came back and told them that the villagers were accustomed to planting rice and wheat, and they did not understand this new thing, and they were afraid that the planting would be bad and delay the national affairs, so they did not dare to take on such a heavy task. ”

The others nodded their heads as well. One by one, 'afraid of doing something wrong', 'worried about becoming a sinner for the ages', etc., desperately pushing the responsibility outward.

Cui Pu's good mood fell to the bottom.

"This county seems to have told you that this thing was planted by the county first, and it will be released for large-scale planting only after it is determined that it can be planted. When the time comes, the county will naturally send people down to guide you in your actions, and if you plant well, the county will be rewarded, and if you don't plant well, it will be fine, and the county will bear the loss! The county has already sent the package ticket to this point, what else do you have to worry about?"

Our people have been farming for generations, and they live on this little output all year round, and they are just like their relatives to this land, and they are not willing to suffer the slightest grievance. Although you have offered extremely favorable conditions now, everyone does not understand this thing after all, and everyone does not know what will eventually grow in the ground. If you are busy at the end of the year, and there is no good result in the end, everyone will inevitably be frustrated, this is not a subsidy of money can make people relieved!"

To put it bluntly, they just don't want to accept new things, and would rather live by the old ways of the past.

In fact, Cui Pu also expected such a picture. It's just that this is the worst situation he imagined, but he didn't expect that it is precisely this worst situation in front of him now!

He took a deep breath, "You really don't want to?"

Everyone bowed their heads.

He bowed his head: "Okay, this county understands." Since this is the case, then the county has to make a trick!" As he spoke, he waved to Xiao Si'er, and Xiao Si'er turned around and went to bring out the four treasures of the study.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

Xiao Si'er put a set of four treasures in front of everyone. Then Cui Pucai said: "Since you don't want to, then it's okay for this county to ask you to recommend a town for your county, right? Including your own town, you can choose a place from Tianchang County that you think is suitable for growing sweet potatoes." When you're done, the county will choose the town with the most nominations as a pilot. Now, write it!"

He closed his eyes and said nothing.

This is clearly just chasing ducks to the shelves, forcing them to squeeze each other out, isn't it?

The squires suddenly screamed in their hearts - why is this county lord so scheming!

It's just that he has already spoken, and they can't refuse, so they can only grab the pen and write down the county where the person they least like in their hearts is located.

After a cup of tea, Cui Pu looked at the papers handed over one by one, and the corners of his mouth finally curled up with a light smile: "Not bad, it seems that everyone's opinions are similar." There are a total of twelve towns, one of which has chosen Wuxing Town. In that case, then it's Wuxing Town!"

Ji Shilin, the representative of the squire in Wuxing Town, smiled more ugly than crying.

"County Honor, please listen to a certain word. Our Wuxing Town—"

"You don't need to say any more! Since everyone unanimously elected Wuxing Town to come out, it means that there must be benefits in Wuxing Town that everyone recognizes. Although the county does not know this benefit now, it will know sooner or later in the future. Now that it is about to be spring ploughing time, you should hurry back and discuss with the Li Zhengmen below, and select a village to come out to this county! When the village is chosen, there are still many things to be done in this county! When the time comes, you will have to ask Master Ji for help. Cui Pu Liangliang interrupted him.

From the predecessor Master Xu, Ji Shilin has already deeply experienced the temper of this county honor. And now that the people of the other eleven towns are uniting to squeeze out one of them, he doesn't even have a chance to find an alliance. Now, he has no way back but to step forward!

There is no way, who calls them Wuxing Town the poorest town in Tianchang County? He is a newcomer, and he is not familiar with them, so who does he exclude if others do not exclude him?

He raised his neck - just fight!

Then he nodded and said, "County Honor, please rest assured, I will go back and discuss with them now, and I will definitely give you the result as soon as possible." ”

"Three days. Cui Pu stretched out three fingers, "This county gives you three days." Within three days, you must give the county a name for a village. This matter can't be delayed any longer!"

"Yes, if you remember it, it's only three days!" Ji Shilin gritted his teeth and responded.

After choosing the town to be piloted, the people in the other towns were relieved, raised their eyebrows and laughed, and went back with laughter. Only Ji Shilin's pace was extraordinarily heavy.

Cui Pu's footsteps were not much easier than him.

Back in the backyard, he plunged into Mu Jiaojiao's arms: "Why do you say they are so rigid? Obviously, it is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and I have already explained it in advance - if it is successful, I will be rewarded, and if it fails, I will compensate them and never let them suffer." But why did they just refuse to agree? One by one, they kept saying that they would support me, but when it came time to take actual action, they all shrank their necks and began to watch from the sidelines. I can see the way of the world clearly!"

Mu Jiaojiao smiled slightly and did not speak.

All he needed was venting, not comfort. He knew very well what to do, and he didn't need her to say it again. Therefore, she just gave him Shun Shun Mao, let him vent the anger in his heart, and then devote himself to the great cause that was about to be carried out with the fullest spirit.

Three days later, Ji Shilin came back and gave him a name - Liujia Village.

Along with this name came Xinli Zheng of Liujia Village, who brought Cui Pu a roster of all the laborers in Liujia Village and the number of fields in the name of each family.

Cui Pu took the things away, gave him some encouragement, and asked people to go back and encourage the villagers.

A few days later, Mr. Wu's friend came. It was an old man with gray hair, with ordinary facial features, but his eyes were bright. He was dark-skinned and his hands were extremely rough, and he looked like a man who often went to the fields to do farm work.

Taking advantage of the fact that they had spent most of the month, they sprinkled the sweet potatoes a few more times and applied a little fertilizer. When I dug again, the result was already the size of a fist and a half.

This person's surname is Zhang, and Cui Pu called him Mr. Zhang. Take Mr. Zhang to visit the greenhouse, and Mr. Zhang circled around half an acre of sweet potatoes for half a day. When he sat down, he explained all the methods they had used to grow sweet potatoes like a treasure, and pointed out a few mistakes in passing.

Cui Pu often chats with Mr. Wu these days, and has also read a lot of related books, and he is also half an expert in this area. After listening to Mr. Zhang's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was sure that this person was a middle master, and he suddenly couldn't help but be more and more happy.

So, he greeted Mr. Zhang with good wine and food, and squatted in the shed with Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wu almost as soon as he was free. Combined with their previous experience in using greenhouses to grow sweet potatoes, they were able to put together a rough set of sweet potato cultivation instructions in less than ten days.

After ordering someone to copy forty copies of the manual, Cui Pu took Mu Jiaojiao, accompanied by Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhang, to Liujia Village to give lessons to the villagers.

When he came to Liujia Village again, Cui Pu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

I think that when he first came to Tianchang County, the first person to come to visit privately was Liujia Village. And now, I didn't expect that it was this Liujia Village that would work with him to carry out this big thing! It seems that he has a lot of fate with this place!

It's just that when he arrived at this place, he found that the atmosphere here was very strange.

"Do you think it's strange for these people to look at me?" Cui Pu asked Mu Jiaojiao quietly.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded: "It's very strange." It's like a deliberate dodge, and it's ...... Did you notice that all the people who came out of the village today were men, or else there were old women, and there were no younger people at all. ”

"I found out. Cui Pu nodded.

"So, what's going on?"

"I don't know!" Cui Pu was even more innocent than her. He is dying of speed now, where can he find out what is going on in this village?

However, his intuition told him that this must have something to do with him!

The group entered Lizheng's house, and sure enough, they found that the ladies of Lizheng's family had also avoided it. Sensing this, the corners of Cui Pu's lips couldn't help but twitch fiercely.

He chose to ask directly: "Li Zheng, have you heard anything related to this county? Otherwise, why do you all avoid this county like a snake and scorpion?"

"Yes, no! No, no!"

Cui Pu's eyes darkened. "Obviously there is! You give an honest account to the county!"

Li Zheng was so frightened that his knees weakened, and he quickly knelt down and shouted: "County master, don't be angry. I said, I said, because ...... The news came from Linzhen, saying that the county magistrate had ruined a lot of young and beautiful young ladies in the county, and he refused to be responsible. Therefore, now people are panicking, and when everyone hears that you are coming, the little ladies in the family are hiding!"
