For the next few days, Zhao Shutong gave birth to mutated sweet potatoes every day at home, and then set aside seeds to continue to give birth.

Because the current ability is too weak, every time it is used up, it has to wait for a long time for the ability to recover before continuing to use it. Zhao Shutong's birth is laborious and slow.After two days, he only got more than two catties of sweet potato seeds. He didn't know if these sweet potato seeds were enough to cover two acres of land, so he had to continue to give birth.

Because Zhao Shutong is at home, old man Zhao is in a very good mood these days.

Before going to the ground, I did not forget to tell Zhao Shutong, "Son, come out and take a walk when you are tired from reading, don't lock yourself in the room and bore yourself to death."

Zhao Shutong agreed, but in fact, he didn't even have the strength to open the book when he gave birth to sweet potatoes. Every time the power was exhausted, he would feel endlessly tired, and there was no crystal nucleus to replenish. Can wait for the ability to slowly recover.In front of old man Zhao, he always braced himself up.

This made Zhao Shutong eager to improve his abilities.

Pei Xiaoqi really owed him a lot.

Every time Zhao Shutong was too tired to move, he always felt that he owed Pei Qi some lifetime.

Zhao Shutong was busy with breeding seeds, so he didn't study much at all, so naturally he didn't want to get the former book boy back.And Zhao Gui saw that it had been four days since Zhao Shutong had returned to the village, and he didn't ask himself to be on duty, fearing that he would lose his errand and come to him.

"Uncle Tong, are you there?"

When Zhao Shutong was giving birth to a sweet potato the size of a baby's fist, he heard a voice calling him from outside.

He resentfully terminated the teleportation ability, put away the things, spread out a book and went out to meet people.

"Zhao Gui, what are you doing here?" Zhao Shutong calmed down when he saw that it was the original book boy.

"Uncle, you are working hard. I came here to ask when I will come back to work." Zhao Gui said.

Zhao Shutong looked at Zhao Guidao. Zhao Gui is 22 this year. He got married a few years ago and now his children can go to the streets to play soy sauce. It is no longer suitable to be a school boy for Zhao Shutong. Be a bookboy again."

Zhao Shutong has a secret of his own, so he doesn't want to assign a book boy at the moment.

From Zhao Shutong's point of view, being taken care of by someone all day is almost like being watched by someone, so he can only follow the original person's plan and don't have to find time to do his own things.

Although Zhao Gui is the original book boy, the relationship between the two is more like an employment relationship.Zhao Gui took care of Yuanshen, and Yuanshen gave him monthly money.There is no such thing as a contract of sale in the middle, and the relationship between the two parties is quite free.

Zhao Gui's heart sank, and he had a feeling that it really was so.When he was able to be Zhao Shutong's book boy, the whole family envied him.Zhao Shutong paid him well, and never treated him badly.Zhao Gui learned characters from Zhao Shutong's side, and understood some truths, and his vision is no longer that of a rural fool.Unlike the people in the village who are short-sighted, he knows that there is still a lot to be done by Zhao Shutong's side in the future.

If he lost Zhao Shutong's job here, he would have to find other jobs.However, it is better to follow Zhao Shutong.

Zhao Gui still didn't want to lose Zhao Shutong's job, so he pleaded, "Uncle, you don't want a book boy anymore, and do you need an errand to do odd jobs, I can do all these things."

When Zhao Gui asked this, Zhao Shutong was really moved. The farm stall was about to be set up, and he really needed an errand, "It's a lack, but Agui, you are my nephew, and I can't Call you whatever you want."

Zhao Gui saw that there was a trick to hit a snake with a stick, "Uncle, you can order me around as you like. When my grandfather sent me here, he told me to listen to you, uncle, you value me when you order me."

He really needs errands.

"Since you said so, I still need a housekeeper in the future. If you want, follow me to do some small things first, and then help me take care of the house. In the future, you will be my big housekeeper." Zhao Shutong He casually promised a position as a butler.

Seeing that Zhao Shutong didn't need him anymore, but wanted to reuse him, Zhao Gui couldn't hide his excitement, and immediately promised to do a good job for Zhao Shutong.

Zhao Shutong strikes while the iron is hot and assigns a task to Zhao Gui, asking him to count the crops in different places, the yield, the planting time, how many seasons can be planted in a year, and the differences between the same crops in different places.

"Uncle, what are you looking for?" Zhao Gui asked puzzled.

"Ah Gui, you can't be a housekeeper if you only know how to run errands. There are so many capable people out there, I can just buy one and come back to be qualified for the position of housekeeper. I choose you, Aoi, because you have been by my side for so long. You are a relative, I can trust you. But if you want to be a housekeeper, your relationship alone is not enough, you have to be able to do it yourself. If you can't do the things I will explain in the future, then I can only find someone else I'm dead." Zhao Shutong said in a persuasive and persuasive manner.

So Zhao Gui understood that Zhao Shutong asked him to check these things, which was probably a test for him to be a housekeeper.Well done, the position of housekeeper will be available in the future.If he didn't do well, he might just have to do errands.

Zhao Gui didn't have any complaints either, he was able to eat as much as he could.

Zhao Shutong is now willing to cultivate himself instead of replacing himself when he can't keep up. This has already made Zhao Gui feel that Zhao Shutong has a kind heart.

Zhao Gui left full of fighting spirit, Zhao Shutong felt Zhao Gui's determination, and thought that if a position of housekeeper could be exchanged for a capable subordinate, it would be a good deal.

He replaced the original body and wanted to live here, so naturally he had to plan for the future.He also plans to continue the imperial examination, so it is necessary to have a few capable confidants.

When Zhao Gui returned home, all the family members had returned from the field.

Zhang Xiaomei, Zhao Gui's daughter-in-law, immediately stepped forward and asked, "Ah Gui, what did Uncle Tong say, will he let you do it?"

The rest of the family also listened to Zhao Gui's answer, and Zhao Gui had nothing to hide, "Uncle Tong said that I am too old to be a book boy, and wants to train me to be a housekeeper."

"Brother Shutong is talking big. He has no shop, no land, and no servants. He really wants you to be the housekeeper. What will you care about in the future?" Zhao Gui's mother, Mrs. Han, came out to wash the pot of water and heard Zhao Gui's words. , very disapproving, thinking that Zhao Shutong was slapping his swollen face to pretend to be fat.

"Mother, that's not what you said. Uncle Tong won the Juren at a young age. Although these people didn't pass the exam, they are not without skills. I just went to see Uncle Tong, and I feel that he came back this time to prepare Do big things." Zhao Gui said.

Zhao Gui has been with Zhao Shutong for almost ten years, and he still knows Zhao Shutong quite well.

In the past, Zhao Shutong really only cared about reading the books of sages, and had nothing else in his eyes except reading and taking the imperial examination.Seeing Zhao Shutong this time, Zhao Gui felt that his Uncle Tong had changed.It seems that he has broken free from some shackles, and he is no longer as stubborn as before.

He didn't know what Zhao Shutong was doing, but somehow he felt that what Zhao Shutong wanted to do would definitely succeed.

"Ah Gui is right. Since your Uncle Tong has taken a fancy to you, you should work hard with him. Your mother is short-sighted and don't listen to her nonsense." Zhao Gui's grandfather said.

Others don't know, but Zhao Gui's grandfather heard from Li Zheng that juren can make up officials.Even if Shutong still can't pass the Jinshi examination in the future, it will be a world of difference to make up a small official and them.Zhao Gui followed Zhao Shutong's side as a housekeeper, and his future was unmissable.

Grandpa Zhao Gui didn't want Zhao Gui to be influenced by his mother, so he alienated Zhao Shutong.And as a father-in-law, he can't say anything about his daughter-in-law, so he can only persuade Zhao Gui.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I know what to do." Zhao Gui assured.

Although her father-in-law didn't reprimand him explicitly, Zhao Guiniang still felt ashamed to stay any longer and hid in the kitchen to cook.

Zhao Shutong didn't tell others what Zhao Gui had done, and closed the door to figure out how to do it well.

He also worked in the field since he was a child, so he has some knowledge about crops.He first recorded the conditions of the crops in his village that he knew, and then went out to inquire about the news with the pen and paper he had brought from Zhao Shutong.

Zhao Shutong knew about the planting situation near the capital without asking him. Zhao Gui guessed that what Zhao Shutong wanted to know more was the crop situation in other places.Zhao Gui asked some old people in the village first, and got some information from other places.Zhao Gui felt that these were definitely not what Zhao Shutong wanted.

So he took the three big pancakes newly baked by his mother, and went to find a person who had fled from the northwest. He paid him with big pancakes, and asked him what kind of crops were planted in the northwest, how the harvest would be, and how many seasons he could grow in a year. The situation in the northwest and the capital are quite different.

After collecting the Northwest ones, he met a man from a small caravan from the south of the Yangtze River through a cousin who was a waiter in a small restaurant in Beijing. He treated him to a few drinks, and then cleaned up everything he knew up.

In short, Zhao Gui thought of all the ways he could think of, and contacted all the outsiders he could know.

Five days later, Zhao Gui came to find Zhao Shutong on business.

Zhao Shutong picked it up to check, and found that what Zhao Gui had collected exceeded his expectations.Zhao Gui found out five kinds of rice grown in the south. Most of the drought-tolerant plants are planted in the northwest, and the black soil in the northeast has higher yields of the same grains.Although what Zhao Gui did was not exhaustive, but with his ability to achieve this level, it is already very good.I don't think I spent less time and money during this period.

What Zhao Shutong is concerned about is that the rice with the highest grain yield is a kind of rice in the south, with an output of [-] catties per mu and two seasons a year.

Such output is really very low.

His mutated sweet potato should receive more attention than he imagined.

"Ah Gui, you did a good job. You really are a good butler. I saw the right person." Zhao Shutong praised Zhao Gui.

Seeing that Zhao Shutong was satisfied, Zhao Gui was very excited when he knew that the butler's position had been secured.

Zhao Shutong gave Zhao Guishi the hard-earned money of taels of silver, and asked him to find some orchid seeds for himself.It's not a few days until the fifth day of the lunar new year to see Pei Qi -- the boy next to him, and he still has to prepare a small gift for that little workman Pei Qi.

He didn't lack any Pei Qi he could afford, so he just gave away some free ones.
