Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 180
Returning from the palace to the mansion, Jiang Lin has already returned from his father-in-law's house, and the guards have already eaten their meals, which were cooked by people sent by Rugui, not only the guards, but also the thirty servants and guards They did it all.

"Brother, is everything going well?"

When Jiang Lin saw Xue Lang coming back, he immediately went up to meet him, and asked with concern.

Xue Lang nodded: "Everything went well, but after eating the court food, there was an urgent report from the court, and I attended a court meeting, so I just came back now. How is it? What does your father-in-law say?"

Jiang Lindao: "Yue Zhang said that there will be less work in his yamen in the future, so he can take leave and return early."

Xue Lang nodded: "Alright, then I will pay a visit the day after tomorrow."

Xue Lang went into the room to change his official robes and put on ordinary clothes, and sat in the main hall with Jiang Lin, Xue Lang said: "Today the imperial court received an urgent report that the Turkic Jieli Khan led troops into Yanmen Pass and disturbed Bingzhou and Yuanzhou. The imperial court has decided to send troops , King Qin is the commander in charge of the march, and we are going to meet Xieli. Weize Pass is located in a dangerous place, so I’m afraid there will be no safety. I plan to teach the people in Beijing to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes as soon as possible, and then go back to Weize Pass. What about you?"

Jiang Lin said with emotion: "Of course, where the elder brother is, the younger brother will be there."

Xue Lang said solemnly: "Ah Lin, if there is a war in Weizeguan, I'm afraid it will not be an easy war, or it will be a hard battle. It is possible for Liu Heita, and it is also possible for Turkic. You are just newly married and you are the only child in your family. one……"

Jiang Lin directly interrupted: "Brother, please forgive my younger brother for being rude. Does the elder brother think that the younger brother is that kind of unfaithful and unjust person? Wei Ze has something to do, how can the younger brother stay out of it? Big brother don't need to say more!"

When Xue Lang thought about it, he was right.Although Jiang Lin is his adopted brother, he is also a member of Her Highness the Princess. If he avoids him at a time like this, what will he say!Therefore, Xue Lang said flatly: "That's fine! Then we two brothers will work together to help Her Royal Highness overcome difficulties together!"

Jiang Lin said with a satisfied smile, "That's exactly what it should be!"

After chatting for a while, Xiu Niang cooked a bowl of noodles for Xue Lang and served them. After eating, Xue Lang took out a pen and paper, and started to make a flowchart of planting sweet potatoes and potatoes——

He was in a hurry to go back to Weize Pass, and he really didn't want to wait any longer, so he simply made a picture book, which was easy to understand and clear at a glance, and he felt that it was easier to understand than verbal description.

I buried my head in drawing until it was time to turn on the lamp. In order to protect my eyes, I stopped drawing immediately, washed up and went to sleep——

Since traveling to ancient times, living habits have been forced to improve a lot and become more and more regular.I am getting used to two meals a day, even if I am not used to it, it is night when I am hungry, I am too lazy to get up to eat, I get used to it when I am lazy!Eating so little, I feel that I don’t have to worry about gaining weight in the middle age.

After thinking wildly for a while, I finally fell asleep.A good night’s sleep, and then get up and continue to struggle. Schematic diagram of the process of sweet potatoes and potatoes. This picture is not complicated. come out.

The drawing was almost done, Xue Lang called Jiang Lin over and asked him to have a look to see if he could understand.If Jiang Lin, who doesn't understand farming at all, can understand it, then the old crops in that kind of field can understand it when they think about it.

"Brother, I feel that after reading it, I already understand how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes."

After reading it, Jiang Lin said so.

"Is there anything you don't understand or are not sure about?"

"Wait for the younger brother to read it again."

"Row!"

The two brothers were studying, and Changjian came to report that it was the visit of the supervisors of the sinong temples of sinong.Xue Lang asked Changjian to welcome the guests in, and sat in the main hall to wait.

Si Nong ruled the world's millet.In ancient times, it was the real fat department.Even in the politically clear Tang Dynasty, there were not many officials in the position of Sinong who fell due to corruption and bribery.Sinong Zhengqing knew a little bit about management, and the money and food left over were enough for the emperor to build the palace.During the Gaozong Dynasty, the palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital, was dilapidated and needed to be overturned, using the money and food saved by Si Nong Zhengqing.

Zhutun supervises the farming of the world, and also manages the revenue of seeds.It is also sincere to ask Xue Lang to go to the warehouse of Sinong Temple to pick out sweet potato seeds in person.

Although Xue Lang held the title of Duke of the county, he only held a casual official in the court, but under Tang Cheng Suizhi, he was only a fixed salary and rank, not a ministerial official.

"The lower official has met Duke Xue, and Duke Xue is very polite."

"The Tuen supervisors are exempt from ceremony, please sit down."

"Thank you for your seat. I'm here under the orders of Si Nong Zhengqing, please go over and teach us how to select sweet potato seeds for our officials under the Sinong family. Please move forward."

Zhun Zhunjian said respectfully and politely.Xue Lang nodded, and said: "Yes, please wait a moment, I can go out as soon as I get ready."

"Here."

The supervisors waited patiently for Xue Lang to arrange his clothes——

You can't let Zhengqing of Sinong Temple come to invite someone, that is Xue Lang's disrespect and loss of etiquette.It's appropriate for the village supervisors to come to invite people.

Now the mansion acting as the coachman is the guards accompanying Xue Lang to protect him.Hired the carriage, and went to Si Nong Temple with Zhu Tuenjian——

The advantage of the mansion being close to the inner city gate became apparent at this time. It was convenient to go to the Yamen. For Xue Lang who didn't like to ride a carriage, this was really the best benefit!Thanks Comrade Saint!
"Mr. Xue is very polite!"

As soon as Xue Lang got out of the carriage, an old man with gray beard and hair came out to greet him, and the supervisors quickly introduced: "Mr. Xue, this is our Secretary Nong Zhengqing, Yang Zhengqing."

Xue Lang cupped his fists in salute: "Yang Zhengqing is polite, please wait for a long time, shall we go in now?"

"Great kindness. Duke Xue please!"

Going in with Yang Zhengqing, it was quite busy to and fro, yes, it's autumn now, and it's autumn harvest time in various places, so Sinong Temple, which is in charge of the world's agricultural affairs, is naturally very busy. "Tang Huiyao" once said that the four departments of Taifu, Shaofu, Sinong, and Taipu have tens of thousands of servants.

Picking seeds is a very simple matter. Xue Lang only said the main points, and these people who often deal with seeds have already grasped the main points, and quickly started to pick them——

The potatoes were selected by Xue Lang, and they should be preserved until next year's spring plowing season.

"Yang Zhengqing, I have something here, please take a look at it."

"Mr. Xue, what is there for Yang to discuss with him?"

Xue Lang took out the drawn flowchart and handed it to Yang Zhengqing.Yang Zhengqing took it, with a normal expression at first, but the more he looked at it, the more serious his expression became, and after finishing it, there was a look of joy in his brows, and he praised: "Mr. The sweet potato and potato are clearly explained, but they are also very simple and easy to understand, so even an illiterate person can understand it if he compares it with this picture and explains it a little bit.”

"Yang Zhengqing's award is all for the sake of being able to return to Weize Pass as soon as possible. In the past few days, please trouble Yang Zhengqing to urge me to finish the sweet potato business as soon as possible so that I can return to Weize Pass as soon as possible."

"Yes! Lord Xue has both loyalty and righteousness, and Yang Moufei has no adult beauty, so he will definitely urge his subordinates to speed up."

Xue Lang cupped his fists and saluted Yang Zhengqing to express his gratitude.
