Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 637
The agricultural officer arrived in a short time, looking in a hurry, and the official uniform on his body was brand new, as if he hadn't worn it a few times, and it didn't fit well.

Shen Chenlan called someone over, and asked him to look at the grass he had brought back, and said, "There are many of this plant in Dongyu?"

Before the agricultural officer came, he had prepared some fawning speeches. After all, the magistrate, except the county magistrate, could not see everyone.

As a small agricultural officer, he is busy during the harvest every year, and basically has nothing to do on weekdays.

When I first met Mr. Shen, I couldn't speak much.

Fortunately, Mr. Shen went straight to the point and let him watch the grass come.

The agricultural officer picked up the plant and inspected it carefully, and then said: "My lord, this plant is called wild berry, and it will produce a red sour fruit with small seeds on the surface every year from October to November. , it looks pretty, but it’s very sour, so children like to pick it and eat it.”

The words of the agricultural officer confirmed Shen Chenlan's guess.

This should be the original variety of strawberry.

Shen Chenlan said: "Then name it Strawberry. However, I need you to do one thing, whether you do it yourself or find someone to help you, I need you to cultivate the fruit of this strawberry. As big as an egg, it tastes sweet. If it succeeds, I will reward you with great rewards."

The agricultural officer was stunned, Master Shen entrusted him with a heavy responsibility when he first arrived, which made him a little flattered.

But this errand is not as easy as imagined.

The agricultural officer was in trouble for a while.

Shen Chenlan said: "This matter is not urgent, you should do it seriously, and report directly to the official when the time comes, and if there is any progress, send a letter to Suizhou City."

The agricultural officer had no choice but to respectfully respond.

Shen Chenlan didn't stay in Dongyu County for long, and it was almost 20 days since he set off from Suizhou City to Sanchuan.

After running long distances for several counties in a row, the people who watched the government office were almost unable to hold on.

He also has a hint of homecoming.

It's been almost a month since I saw Ningning and Yuanyuan.

Shen Chenlan set off for the last county, Linping County.

This place is located in the south of Suizhou, and partly borders Liaozhou.

But there are a lot of hills here, and the small hills are generally only 300 meters to 500 meters high, one after another, and it usually takes a short time to go from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

This is not considered a deep mountain, and there are not many wild animals, so the common people can only grow some food such as sweet potatoes and corn on the mountain.

The economic level is at the bottom of Suizhou.

Shen Chenlan met Lord Ding, the county magistrate of Linping, and looked at him with a helpless temperament in his poverty, which was even poorer than the county magistrate Wu in Daiyang.

When Ding County Magistrate saw Shen Chenlan, it was like meeting his reborn parents, "Master Shen! I'm sorry for my disappointment."

Shen Chenlan waved her hand: "There's no need to be too polite."

County Magistrate Ding took the initiative and said, "My lord, if you need help from the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely do their best."

This time, Shen Chenlan didn't need to make a sound, Jiang Chengze took out the report format for Mr. Ding to fill out.

Shen Chenlan said: "Go back and write it to the official, and go out with the official for a few days."

"Yes." County Magistrate Ding replied.

After walking through several counties in Suizhou, Jiang Chengze and Jiang Luoyun also gained a lot of knowledge, but when they arrived in Linping, they discovered the extent of Linping's poverty.

The houses here are basically earth houses, and there are not many blue brick houses.

Walking in the village, the eyes of the people are dim, but they have to work like a spinning top every day.
