Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 518 Yangzhou County Sheriff
Song Chen himself didn't know whether he would retire after his success.

But the most important thing for her now is to do the things in front of her. According to their original plan, she should be expanding her business territory at this time. However, this natural disaster caught her off guard and she had to temporarily change plan.

The workshops at hand, except pharmaceuticals, have all stopped, and the medicines produced in the pharmaceutical workshops have also changed.

Drought will be followed by locust plagues.

When there is little rainfall or no rainfall at all, it is more beneficial for locusts to lay eggs in the soil for their reproduction. Locusts themselves are drought-tolerant creatures. In drought seasons, one locust can have the most Can give birth to five generations of eggs.

The huge number of locusts will only make the disaster worse.

In addition to producing medicines that can be used by humans, Song Chen's workshop is also researching medicines to kill locusts.

Emperor Da Rong's forced spring plowing actually created an extremely perfect environment for locusts to breed. To suppress locusts, they must be culled before they have formed a climate and when they are still eggs.

Song Chen now mainly uses drugs to get rid of locusts.

Crops in this era have not been poisoned by chemical drugs, and the same is true for these locusts, so drugs are still very effective in eradicating locusts.

Every household in Nanfeng Village still planted some grains and vegetables in the fields around their houses, including the Song family's village. When the first batch of medicinal powder came out from Song Chen's workshop, Song Chen was the first to use it. On my farm, I turned these medicinal powders into water and sprinkled them on the plants.

Three days later, no plants withered due to these medicines, so she promoted these medicines to Nanfeng Village.

The people of Nanfeng Village naturally trust her, and whatever she says is strictly implemented in accordance with her requirements.

Cang Xiuxuan went to talk to the Yangzhou County Sheriff in person.

Before setting off, he also took Song Chen with him, and Song Chen naturally brought the medicinal powder he developed with him.

It takes two days to travel quickly from their new city to Yangzhou County. Song Chen and Cang Xiuxuan shared a horse and traveled secretly.

The Yangzhou County Sheriff couldn't believe it when he received Cang Xiuxuan's handwritten letter. Until he met Cang Xiuxuan in person in his county house, his surprise was not reduced by half.

"together……"

Looking at Cang Xiuxuan, he really didn't know what to call him.

Originally, he should have immediately sent an order to arrest them, but for some reason he never did so.

"When you come to my place, do you want to capture me directly and occupy my Yangzhou County?"

The governor of Yangzhou County looked at Cang Xiuxuan coldly and spoke rudely.

Cang Xiuxuan just smiled faintly, "If that's the case, you have no chance to say this now."

These words were very arrogant, but the governor of Yangzhou County knew that Cang Xiuxuan was not just talking nonsense, he had this ability.

Since the order from Shangjing, his place has been the most stringent, but they can enter the city easily and stand in front of him. You can imagine their ability.

"You are short on food."

"Then I have to thank King Qi for not showing mercy."

Song Chen was sweating a little while listening to the conversation between the two. If they were allowed to continue talking like this, the Yangzhou County Sheriff would probably be pissed to death.

Pulling Cang Xiuxuan's sleeve was a hint.

Cang Xiuxuan's aloofness was immediately photographed, "You don't have to be like this, Sheriff. I came here today to talk to you about the food issue."

Cang Xiu Are you still thinking of robbing us after saying this? Do we, the people of Yangzhou County, just don’t want to live anymore?"

Their Yangzhou County is also considered to be a relatively large grain-producing county, but Cang Xiuxuan secretly purchased a lot of grain in their Yangzhou County before, so that they themselves are extremely tight now.

He hasn't even settled the score with him yet, and yet they dare to come to his door!

The county guard, who was originally looking down, was really about to call someone now.

Cang Xiuxuan smiled sarcastically, "Is your brain suppressed by the emperor?"

Song Chen: ...almost stopped spraying.

When will this person stop speaking so viciously?

Looking at the county guard again, his chest was rising and falling so much that Song Chen felt like he was ready for first aid at any time.

Sure enough, the next moment he put a hand on his heart and his breathing became rapid, "Don't bully others too much!"

Cang Xiuxuan didn't even bother to look at him, he just found a place to sit down and took Song Chen beside him, "You are really brainless. Is it possible that your good reputation was built with money? I If I wanted your food, would I sit down and talk to you so politely?"

Song Chen had been observing the Yangzhou County Sheriff. As soon as Cang Xiuxuan said these words, she originally thought she was going to save someone, but unexpectedly she saw that the person calmed down.

He looked at Cang Xiuxuan intently, and after a while he said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Cang Xiuxuan raised his lips and smiled again, "It seems that you are no longer stupid. I will explain it more clearly to you. This time I am here to deliver food to you." Yangzhou County Sheriff's pupils suddenly closed, "Would you be so kind?"

Now that the entire Da Rong knows that he has taken possession of the city and proclaimed himself king, will he give away food to others in such a difficult period?

If you say this, not many people will believe it.

"Of course I didn't give it to you for free." Cang Xiuxuan raised his hand and put the tea in front of Song Chen, "You are too stingy as a county guard. What can you do by saving a cup of tea?"

The Yangzhou County Sheriff once again resisted the urge to kick the two of them out, and in a deep voice asked someone to serve them another cup of tea.

At first, he thought Song Chen was the follower brought by Cang Xiuxuan, and didn't pay attention at all. Now that he saw the two of them sitting on equal footing, and Cang Xiuxuan taking such good care of him, he couldn't help but think of some rumors in the market.

The King of Qi, who was not close to women, turned out to have a habit of cutting off his sleeves!
Cang Xiuxuan couldn't understand the look in his eyes, but he didn't care at all. "As long as you can come up with money, I will give you as much food as you want. Is this a fair deal?"

As soon as he said these words, the Yangzhou County Sheriff's mind was already spinning several times.

"Is this true?"

Cang Xiuxuan didn't answer him, but just glanced at him lightly. The Yangzhou County Sheriff was made hair stand on end by this look.

I almost forgot what the person in front of me was like.

Since he can say such words, he must be able to do it.

"We all know that food is in short supply now, and there will definitely be no hope for this year's autumn harvest. We are holding on to the food in our hands, but you, my lord, want to exchange it for silver? At this time, money seems to be of no use to food. I don't know what my lord's purpose is."

This matter was beneficial to him no matter how he looked at it. He didn't believe that people from the city like Cang Xiuxuan would come to him to make this deal without any purpose.

"Do you know...why I have this city?" Cang Xiuxuan did not answer his question, but threw a question to him.

After saying this, he continued without waiting for the county guard's answer, "Beiguan Village, Baofeng County, was almost in danger of being destroyed. In the past, the soldiers who followed me did not receive any preferential treatment. I don't want to be the second guard." Duke."

The Lord Protector was the master of great achievements. The emperor originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but he did not expect that he would survive.

Everyone can understand these things if they think about it, but they never think about it deeply. After all, the Protector is an outsider, but he is a prince.

As everyone knows, in the eyes of the emperor Dayong, there is no distinction between outsiders and his own people. As long as he feels that someone threatens his status, he will get rid of them quickly.

Now that Cang Xiuxuan said this, the Yangzhou County Sheriff's heart was already in turmoil.

During this period, he was very dissatisfied with the actions of the imperial court. Seeing the misery of the people within his jurisdiction, it was true that the people were in dire straits, and he was worried in his heart.

But there is no way to deal with it, so we can only help them bear more within the scope of our ability.

He really started to think seriously about Cang Xiuxuan's words.

They all knew how famous King Qi was back then, and how he treated his soldiers. Such a person did have too much prestige in the army, and it was not a bad idea to threaten the emperor.

If you put aside everything else and put yourself in someone else's shoes, if you don't want your life to be in the hands of others, you can only have enough confidence.

He might do the same, let alone King Qi.

He continued to think, and Cang Xiuxuan also continued to say, "My new city protects many people. I give them a safe environment and prevent them from living in fear. This is the only thing I can do for them. , because they were implicated because of me.”

"As a county guard, you also protect the people of a certain area. This is what you should do. But now the whole country is in such a miserable situation. Are you willing to watch people starve to death everywhere?"

The Sheriff shook his head.

No official who cares about the people wants to see such a scene.

"The virtuous King of Qi!" The county guard suddenly understood what Cang Xiuxuan meant. He put aside all his previous prejudices and knelt down in front of Cang Xiuxuan with a pop.

Cang Xiuxuan accepted it calmly, and Song Chen turned sideways slightly.

"Don't you think I have other purposes for exchanging grain for your money?"

The Yangzhou County Sheriff shook his head repeatedly, "I am narrow-minded, please forgive me, King Qi."

They are all smart people, so there is no need to speak too clearly. Being here means that the purpose of this visit has been achieved, "According to the market price, you should prepare money."

After leaving these words, Cang Xiuxuan took Song Chen and left the county directly.

The county guard was left kneeling on the spot alone, stunned for a long time.

He couldn't believe the sudden surprise. He couldn't believe that there was food at this time, and that he could still buy food at this time.

He was not so shameless and understood why King Qi wanted them to buy it.

This is a big taboo at this time. If he didn't cover up and was stabbed to the emperor, he could get away with it. King Qi was leaving a way out for him!
