Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 196 Take it away, take it away, take it all away

Meng Changqing didn't care about his own face, so how could he care about others.

This meeting was indeed rewarding.

But this gain caused her a lot of troubles.

Although she often visited the palace in the past, there was a barrier between the East Palace and the Inner Palace, so she didn't know much about the people in the harem.

You can only understand the second princess by integrating the information you heard from others.

The second princess is cheerful and talented. She is one year younger than the prince and three years older than the third prince. She has no half-brother, and she has never heard of any prince she was close to before.

But now, the people around the second princess started, and the people around the third prince came to invite.

what is this?
Did the two of them join forces, or did Lady Wei make the decision privately, or did the prince want to take this opportunity to see her again?
Meng Changqing calculated that the probability of the latter was low. Although the prince relied on and feared her, he would not leave the palace again for her.

Moreover, Concubine Xiao had a domineering personality and often offended others in the harem. Maybe the second princess or her biological mother had been offended by Concubine Xiao, so she joined the camp of the third prince.

Everything is Meng Changqing's guess, and there is no way to know what the actual situation is.

"Master Wang, even if I don't go, it won't harm your face." Meng Changqing bent down and saluted: "Your honor was given by the imperial concubine and the third prince, and it was accumulated by your royal family for generations. Follow me. It doesn’t matter if you are a small magistrate.”

Wang Shaoyu said: "Of course it is."

"Then forgive me for not going. Your Majesty has something to tell you, and I have to deal with it immediately. I think you don't want to delay the official business of the previous court because of this post, right?"

"Oh, then you don't want to go." He took two steps back and suddenly turned around, "If you didn't tell me something earlier, it wouldn't be my fault if you were delayed!"

Meng Changqing looked at his figure running away, and thought to herself that it would be great if the third prince was surrounded by people like Mr. Wang.

By the time Meng Changqing arrived at Huangzhuang, it was already Shenshi.

A familiar-looking manager came towards him. This person was Xie Hongda, who was responsible for all matters of the Imperial Mansion.

Meng Changqing quickly dismounted and put on a smile, "Manager Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I still remember Changqing."

"Master Meng." Xie Hongda put one hand behind his back and said with a smile: "Now it's time to call you Master Meng. The village has received the Holy Lord's order. You can just follow me to the library to get it."

Meng Changqing led a group of people to follow him and said, "Please thank the manager."

"This is not troublesome. I am very happy to be able to do something for Master Meng."

Meng Changqing saluted, "Mr. Xie said this, which really offends me. How can I be called an adult in front of you? I'm just a small county magistrate in the border area." Then he joked: "If you hadn't been polite to me first, I don't dare to come up and talk to you while walking on the street." Xie Hongda laughed a few times, "Master Meng's words are getting more and more sharp. Look at the imperial guards behind you. Even if the prince comes, it's nothing more than this."

"Your Majesty is nostalgic and always takes too much care of me for the sake of my father and brother. It's not that you don't know."

The convoy passed through farmland and stopped in front of a guarded house.

Xie Hongda coughed twice, took out a piece of brown silk cloth and a jade pendant from his sleeve, and handed them to the guard guarding the door.

After checking that everything was correct, the guard opened the door and let everyone in, but they were not allowed to go in so many people.

Meng Changqing asked the imperial guards to stay outside and called four strong family members to go in with her to move the seeds.

This is the emperor's private warehouse, with extremely high walls and built of bricks and stones. There is only one entrance and two internal and external doors, and it is tightly guarded.

Meng Changqing had been here before and still remembered the layout. He could find which type of seeds were in which warehouse without Xie Hongda leading the way.

Xie Hongda said: "The Holy Spirit has a decree, you can take it yourself."

Meng Changqing turned to his family and said: "When the warehouse opens later, you can move as many things as you can inside. The car must be full."

The family members all agreed.

Meng Changqing first asked the guards to open the warehouse where corn was stored.

Corn, also known as corn, has not been cultivated in Daliang for a long time, but it already has many names among the people.

Meng Changqing wanted to find corn seeds when he was in Beishan County in the first half of the year, but unfortunately there were none in Liangzhou or its surrounding areas.

Corn has strong adaptability, requires short planting time, has high yield, is suitable for field interplanting, and the harvest is easier to preserve. It is a crop that Meng Changqing is optimistic about and must try to plant in Beishan County.

Then there are potatoes and various beans. Beishan County already has experience in growing sweet potatoes, so Meng Changqing plans to bring some other potatoes to enrich the varieties.

Most of the seeds saved by Zhuangzi were from imported and improved crops.

It was originally something that Meng Changqing and the prince had worked hard on, so Meng Changqing picked it up without any politeness. If he thought it was useful, he would definitely bring it with him.

She even carried two sacks of dried chili peppers.
