Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 292 Letting Go, Conditions (1)
The imperial examination was originally a shortcut, but he knew that he had a few catties and a few taels, and the most he could do was to reach the top, and his temperament was not suitable for the officialdom, so he might as well do what he likes. Accumulating military merits is better than being a civil servant. Go up much faster!

Although there is no war now, the flames in the north are always eyeing, and the barbarians on the southern border invade from time to time. No matter how bad it is, it is good to suppress the bandits!
Mu Hua concealed it well, Zhang Xiaocao didn't notice his strangeness, had dinner in the restaurant again, watched him enter the academy with his own eyes, and then went back to the inn with Ling Feng and the others.

In the next two days, Zhang Xiaocao went to some seed shops in the city again, but she was not as lucky as the first day, and she was not discouraged. This trip was not empty-handed!

The night before returning to Zhang's Village, Lin Zhaoyuan came to the inn suddenly and asked for a room next to Lingfeng, but Zhang Xiaocao didn't know about it!

In the middle of the night, Ling Feng Lingyun sneaked into Lin Zhaoyuan's room, and the three of them got together to discuss matters.

In order not to attract attention, the lamp was not lit in the room, and it was pitch black, only the voices of thin voices.

"Early this morning, news came from the capital that Xuanzhi's imperial envoy will arrive in Linjiang County in about half a month, so during this half month, you must protect her well and not let her out of your sight, Jin Yu has already arranged people in the dark, their martial arts are not as strong as yours, but the advantage is that there are more people, and protecting Grandma Zhang is not a problem!"

Lin Zhaoyuan solemnly ordered that although they no longer worked for him, he had to come and order this matter.

Ling Yun responded quickly.

Ling Feng was concerned about another matter: "Young Master, I'm worried that because of this, those people will focus on the four of you, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't suspect that you secretly exposed the huge corruption case in the South. If you really let them find out something, you will be in danger!"

In the darkness, Lin Zhaoyuan smiled faintly, with a frightening light in his eyes: "You don't need to worry! Jinyu has wiped away the traces, those people only thought it was the one who moved, and even if they really found me, they only thought I was the one who did it. That spy will not do it easily, but Jinyu will definitely be suspicious of them again, thinking that that one is secretly paving the way for him, this is the most intolerable for them!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng felt relieved a lot. Although the young master has some useful people around him, he has not yet been able to take care of himself. He threw them to the girl before. He was really worried that those people would kill the young master if they found out!
Thinking that the girl would come to Beijing in half a month, he asked again: "Should I tell the girl about this? At least let her be prepared!"

Lin Zhaoyuan said in a deep voice: "No way! This time the person who came to declare the decree was the most trusted windbreaker in front of him. He did this firstly to stimulate some people, and secondly, he might have suspected that Jinyu was in Zhongzhou He was very suspicious of the government's actions, and he was worried about his son. If he knew that Jinyu had so many actions in secret, he would definitely not tolerate it! If she knew, he would accidentally show his feet, and Feng Yi would definitely see it. , which confirms that person's conjecture, which is not good for Jinyu!"

The three of them discussed for most of the night. After the watchman knocked the third watch, they went back to their rooms. Zhang Xiaocao, who was sleeping soundly in her own room, naturally didn't know this. When they arrived at Lin Zhaoyuan, they were quite surprised. The four of them rode home after breakfast!
On the way, Lin Zhaoyuan saw that Ling Feng carefully tied a bulging cloth bag to the horse's back, which looked heavy, so he asked Zhang Xiaocao, "Is this what you have gained this time?"

Zhang Xiaocao was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing! If it can be planted, many ordinary people will no longer have to be hungry and full!"

When Lin Zhaoyuan heard it, he was very pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Zhang Xiaocao nodded affirmatively, and introduced potatoes to him enthusiastically: "This thing is called potatoes, and it is a high-yield crop like jicama. It can be eaten as food or made into dishes. The most important thing is that there is no geographical area Restrictions, like the climate in the south is warmer, you can plant rice after harvesting, and harvest in the next spring, which does not affect rice planting. We belong to the central region, where the winter is cold, but the summer is long, so it can be planted twice a year. In the north, It’s no problem to plant it once a year, and it grows in dry land, so you don’t need to pick it. Even the barren land, as long as you work hard, weeding and pest control, it can grow well. The production height is higher than that of rice and wheat. It’s a treasure! "

Lin Zhaoyuan nodded approvingly: "If this is the case, it is indeed a treasure. In this way, you don't have to starve to death every time a major natural or man-made disaster occurs!"

Hearing his sigh, Zhang Xiaocao was also very moved. He has the common people in his heart. If he is an official, he must be a good official. However, looking at the history of China for thousands of years, it seems that honest officials rarely end well. , either being demoted and frustrated, or being killed by treacherous officials and corrupt officials, when the water is clear, there will be no fish!

However, the people behind it are not the kind of brainless people who don't know how to adapt. Maybe they will be more comfortable in the officialdom, and they will become the first ministers in the future. Well, few powerful ministers will end well. It is good to be like the first and assistant ministers, but only those who know how to retreat bravely Alright, otherwise it would be easy to be cannon foddered by the emperor...

"By the way, if you grow that potato, I'm afraid you won't be able to grow much of it. Otherwise, you'll let his family's caravan pay attention to it?"

Lin Zhaoyuan made a sound, pulling back Zhang Xiaocao's unconstrained thoughts.

Zhang Xiaocao was taken aback, she thought he would ask her how she knew about potatoes, she even made up her explanation!
It's not that Lin Zhaoyuan doesn't want to ask, it's just that he feels that this girl has too many secrets. She can grow high-yielding cotton, and it's okay to know potatoes. He doesn't want her to feel that he is spying on her!
However, he didn't expect that Zhang Xiaocao would not be calm if he didn't ask, and even wondered if this guy saw something!
However, this thought is only a momentary thing, after all, it is too scary, as long as she bites her mouth tightly, others will doubt her and what can they do to her!
"No need, I'm afraid he'll dig a hole for me again!"

Zhang Xiaocao spoke directly from her heart. She didn't mean to blame Le Ting when she said this. After all, regarding the matter of cotton, one of them was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. !

If the potatoes are planted, at most two years, she will spread the planting around Zhangjia Village. If someone targets them in advance and she can't deal with them, she will sell the planting methods and potato seeds, so that she Not at a disadvantage!

Hearing this, Lin Zhaoyuan felt a little depressed, feeling that she also had doubts about him.

Zhang Xiaocao didn't know that he would think so, but asked leisurely: "Are you going to be an official in the future?"

Seeing that she asked casually, Lin Zhaoyuan knew that she had no other intentions, so he said, "Yes, if you get tired of it, just resign!"
