After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Wen Zhao was indeed an expert at concealing his emotions; he did not show any sign of such an important court event on his face. Even the experienced Bai Qingyun could not notice and continued to tell the story as usual.

"Later, my family tested other seeds one by one and found several special grains, and corn is one of them."

"My father is in charge of the farmland at home most of the time. He almost watched the crops mature. Why don't I let him explain the growth characteristics of corn to the adults?"

Bai Qingyun found a perfect excuse for taking out the food later, and he also described the man's appearance as detailed as possible. With just a little investigation, one would know that such a person really existed.

And wherever they appear, there will be some new and interesting goods.

As for whether the Bai family really encountered it, it can be inferred from the description. After all, no matter how powerful the government is, it is impossible to find out in the chaotic Bingzhou at that time whether a farmer's family has really come into contact with a strange-looking traveling merchant.

This mixture of true and false sources is enough to cope with the situation.

Father Bai had actually grown corn before, and he described the characteristics of corn growth in great detail, including how many days it takes to germinate, when to joint, and when to ear...

"Corn does not require much water to grow, but it is not afraid of water, as long as it is not soaked in water for a long time!"

Wen Zhao listened carefully, and even showed a look of appreciation for the talent in front of him, but finally sighed and said: "But during the rainy season, it is not convenient to drain the fields, especially in low-lying areas."

However, the Bai family already had a way to deal with this problem, and had already begun implementing it on the mountain.

Father Bai looked a little proud. "Your Excellency may not know that the Bai family has planted many medicinal herbs on the hilltop near Dayang Village, facing the side where the canal will be dug. Some medicinal herbs don't like water, so we dug out layer after layer of fields according to the terrain. We dug a ridge from top to bottom between the fields, and when the rainy season comes, we will open the hole and the water there can flow directly into the canal."

"My daughter even gave it a nice name, 'Terrace Fields'."

"Terrace fields?" Wen Zhao frowned in confusion.

Father Bai nodded and said, "It's because the last time you visited Dayang Village, you were busy and the road up the mountain was not built. Now it has been completed. If you are interested, you can visit and check it out in person."

Wen Zhao withdrew his gaze and pondered for a while: "Tomorrow, I will take a few officials from the government office to check it out, and by the way, see how the corn is growing!"

Bai Qingyun nodded slightly to Bai's father and mother: "In this case, the Bai family will be waiting for you in Dayang Village."

They chatted about tomorrow's arrangements. When they saw Village Chief Yang returning, they knew that the discussion went well by looking at the wrinkles on the old man's face.

After leaving the yamen, several people originally planned to go to a store to rest. Now that Yang Dashan has returned to the yamen, he and his wife have rented a small courtyard in the provincial capital. It happened that Village Chief Yang is old and has a place to rest, so he went to sit with his son and see how the child is doing.

The Bai family separated from Village Chief Yang and his companions and went straight to the store.

Madam Su looked at her master's family who had reappeared, and was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the three men were not as tied up as last time, she breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible sense.

It was lunch time, so he quickly ordered someone to run to the restaurant on the street and order a table.

There was a private room in the store, which was equipped with sofas and dining tables, so the few of them had their meal there.

Father Bai, Carpenter Yang, and Kuaijiao were eating happily and talking endlessly about carpentry skills. Mother Bai talked to Madam Su about their plan to go into the city.

Mrs. Su was holding the dish with her hand slightly stunned, and asked uncertainly: "Buy someone home to educate him?"

Bai's mother watched the other party's every move and asked, "Yes, Madam Su, do you think there is anything wrong with it?" She has never been a arbitrary person and likes to listen to other people's opinions before making a decision.

The other party's charming figure set off her bright eyes and casually glanced at Bai Qingyun, with a hint of gloating in the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile on her lips: "There is nothing wrong with it. Madam's sincere love for her daughter makes me a little envious!"

She showed longing on her face. People who have always been reluctant to talk about their past suddenly revealing a little bit of it is most likely to arouse people's sympathy.

Mother Bai took her hand lovingly and said gently, "Although you and I are of similar age, you are now a member of the Bai family, and I will treat you like my own sister."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Bai Qingyun began to make a joke: "How about you invite a teacher to teach us so that Madam Su and I can take the class together?"

How can people with such a big age difference take etiquette lessons together? If the older person practices etiquette to the younger person, will the younger person accept it or not?

As soon as these words came out, Bai's mother immediately denied them. She glanced at Bai Qingyun with her beautiful eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

When Bai's mother turned around to scold Bai Qingyun, Madam Su raised her eyebrows at Bai Qingyun, looking very proud.

"If Madam wants to find a nanny, I can recommend someone."

Bai's mother couldn't hide her joy on her face: "Madam Su, do you know any human traffickers?"

Madam Su has been in Jiangzhou City for a long time, and human trafficking is a special business. If the people are familiar with each other, the buyer will feel more at ease.

Madam Su shook her head: "He is not a human toothbrush! But Madam also knows this person."

Bai Qingyun raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you talking about Qin Bo?" Ever since she went to the dyeing workshop to buy Bai Yi and others last time, she has never seen this efficient and kind old man again.

Since there were many things to do in the village and she seldom came to the capital city, she naturally went there less often.

However, Bai Qingyun entrusted Su Niangzi to purchase the Bai family's martial arts uniforms, the work clothes that the shop assistants would wear in the future, and the fabric for sewing dolls in the store from the dyeing workshop.

It can be regarded as a kind of support for the dyeing factory that is struggling to maintain its operation, but most of the contacts are made by Su Niangzi as an intermediary.

Madam Su nodded, but her face was a little solemn: "The dyeing factory's business is not doing well now. Before...something happened. Qin Bo is having a headache recently and wants to close the dyeing factory."

Bai Qingyun suddenly felt something was wrong. He felt that something big must have happened in the dyeing workshop during the time he had not paid attention to it.

Qin Bo is a reliable person. He always smiles when dealing with people. It seems that everything becomes extremely simple in his hands. The things that really make it difficult for him to handle are probably not simple things.

"Could it be... related to Qin Ning?" Bai Qingyun thought of the beautiful woman who was dressed in blue, with a sword hidden at her waist, and who could be appeased by just one word "little sister" from him, and guessed in his heart.
