It is difficult for men and women of wealthy families to cross

After packing up their bags, they hired two carriages. Lin Jishan and Wu Daicheng were going to the four counties. Before they left, they said goodbye to Mr. An Yi and the third prince respectively. Mr. An Yi only said to be down-to-earth.The third prince obviously knew where the two of them were going, so he didn't have any advice on career, but just asked Wu Daicheng to pay attention to his body.

Along with the two of them was Mrs. Li and his wife from the Ministry of Industry. Mr. Li has been in the Ministry of Industry for several years, but he has not seen any improvement. What he does every day is record, and more time is drinking tea and listening to other people gossiping Nibbling.When Wu Daicheng's article first came in, he thought it was written by a man with research, but after a deeper understanding, he found that the person who wrote the article was a di, which made Mr. Li very conflicted.From the first impression he had of Gao Di, he felt that Gao Di was superior, and he never thought that Gao Di could do anything, just like hearing that the Beijing News was managed by Di, and later the third concubine took care of it.In his opinion, anyone can run the Beijing News, but he always scoffs at the idea of ​​others talking about the Beijing News.Who didn't know that Nadi was the concubine of Lin Jishan, a talented scholar in Liaocheng. The newspaper in Liaocheng was originally written by Lin Jishan, and Liaocheng was co-written by talented scholars. Nadi was only in the name of Lin Jishan.Master Li also heard that Mrs. Lin is a wise person, and in his opinion, it is a waste of heaven and earth to give Tianzhi to a di.When seeing that article, Mr. Li's first reaction was that it was written by some talented talented person. Later, he found out that it was Di, which made Mr. Li, who had always had a prejudice against Di, unable to accept it for a long time.

The people from the Ministry of Industry ran to ask for the prescription, and Master Li was also waiting. He felt that Di was the one who wrote the article and couldn't come up with the prescription. He deserved the crime, but more because he thought that doing this was nothing more than diverting everyone's attention, so that everyone would not care about Fang Zi's matter. Later, no one mentioned this matter again, which made Mr. Li believe that his guess was correct.But he didn't expect that a few days ago he accidentally overheard the third prince telling an adult in charge of the land in a restaurant that Lin Zhuangyuan and his wife went to the four counties to confirm the idea in that article.Mr. Li went to verify it the next day. After learning that this was indeed the case, Mr. Li proposed to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to take charge of farming in the four counties without even thinking about it.According to Mr. Li's level, he agreed to lower his status this time, but he just felt that he should go to witness with his own eyes. He not only went alone, but also brought his wife with him, so that his wife could follow the wise man. To avoid suspicion, he will not approach that person.

Colleagues in the Ministry of Industry also tried to persuade Mr. Li, but Mr. Li's stubborn temper came up, and he couldn't pull back a few cows, let alone his energy.After being impulsive, on the day when he actually left Beijing, Mr. Li suddenly regretted a little, but the done thing was done, even if he regretted it, it was useless.What's more, the news about him has reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor specially asked someone to send a few words, which is a great compliment to him. If he wants to retire, he may not be able to keep the prize.

The Lin family and his wife don't know what Master Li's intentions are when they go with him. If Wu Daicheng knew that Master Li was so fond of Budi, he might not give him a good face, and maybe he would scold him a few words. Isn't he Di born?Or not raised?How did you marry such a contemptuous relative?When Wu Daicheng heard that Mr. Li from the Ministry of Industry was accompanying him, he thought that the emperor had sent someone who knew the situation to help.

A group of several carriages went to the four counties smoothly, and they entered the city before sunset. They found an inn in the county and stayed first. Lin Jishan planned to go to the county government office to hand in the formalities tomorrow.After walking for a day, Wu Daicheng was really tired. After eating something, he fell asleep. Lin Jishan took care of the pregnant woman carefully. There is a way to make a living, Lin Jishan thought it was feasible, and now he is thinking about writing it down. After finishing the matter tomorrow, he will go to a few villages around, and compare which village to do what Wu Daicheng said.

Master Li is different from Lin Jishan. Lin Jishan has a house arranged by the court here. If Master Li wants to live in the four county magistrates, he can only find a yard by himself.Returning with the Lin family and his wife, Mr. Li fell on the bed at this moment, and Mrs. Li Song was busy with some trivial matters.Li Songshi is a very typical ancient Liangdi. He will agree to whatever my husband says, no matter what the other party makes a decision. In the eyes of the older generation, he would definitely be cast aside by many people, thinking that he has no claims, no ego, and is just a respondent, but Li Song has been taught this way since childhood, and does not feel that there is anything wrong with listening to her husband in everything, even in After I entered the school, I hadn't conceived for a long time, and I took the initiative to take a concubine for my husband, but it was a pity that Mrs. Li suddenly decided to follow to the four counties, so the matter of taking a concubine was over.Mr. Li didn't want to see Li Song's appearance, but he also enjoyed the feeling that he could be superior.Mrs. Li Song is a capable person. Mr. Li is only doing record work. How can there be any money from outside, but Ms. Li Song manages the family well. When Mr. Li goes out, he will never be ridiculed by others because of his clothes. However, it is not known whether Master Li's temper is annoying or not.

On the second day after arriving in the fourth county, Lin Jishan went to the county government. Wu Daicheng waited for Lin Jishan at the inn. After Lin Jishan completed the formalities, the family moved into the house where the former county magistrate lived.Not long after they moved away, Mrs. Li Song also found a suitable house. Mrs. Li was reading a book with an official score, without moving. Mrs. Li Song was like a housekeeper directing people to move things. Mr. Li, Mr. Li got up and left.The score was bigger than a serious county magistrate, making the shopkeeper in the inn shake his head. He only knew who the county magistrate was when he watched the yamen servant come over to help the county magistrate Lin move things. If he didn't know, he might think The one who moved out last was the county magistrate.

The young servants of the Lin family put everything back together very quickly. Lin Jishan put on his regular clothes and took Wu Daicheng out of the gate. They decided to go around the county first, not to mention the people's livelihood, but at least to know that there are people in the county. A few streets, which street is used for business, and which street is mostly residential.The two wandered around the city for a day, and had lunch at the only inn and restaurant. Although the four counties are not as important as the other counties, they are also one of the only ways to enter Beijing. The restaurant in the county It made Wu Daicheng feel that it was not good for him to make a big pot of rice that was delicious.Fortunately, neither of them are extravagant and wasteful people. No matter how unpalatable they were, they would finish everything they ordered.

Back home at night, Wu Daicheng sighed, "I didn't expect such a place to exist near the capital, it's really unbelievable."

"I will go out of the city to visit the surrounding villages at dawn tomorrow. There are six larger villages and more than a dozen small villages in the four counties. It may take a few days to walk around, so you should not follow." What pregnancy reaction, also a big belly, tossing from the capital to the four counties, followed him for another day today, if I don’t rest well tomorrow, I am afraid that I will fall into some kind of illness in the future.

Wu Daicheng shook his head and refused, "It's going to be late autumn. If you find out the situation in each village, the planting in winter may be delayed, and you don't know how to look at the soil quality. Master Li who came with us is not an expert in this field. If you have a better memory, you may be able to remember the quality of the soil in the four counties, but if your memory is not good, it would be a waste to listen to his nonsense and waste the efforts of the common people." Although they didn't know what Master Li came here for, they also knew that Master Li What did you do before? At the beginning, I knew that Mr. Li came from the Ministry of Industry. Wu Daicheng thought it was a help, but this morning the servant told him that he asked Mr. Li’s servants. Mr. Li was only in charge of keeping records in the Ministry of Industry. , Wu Daicheng's heart became cold for a while, he was afraid that Mr. Li would pretend to understand when the time came, and the help would become resistance instead.

"You can't stand it if you turn around with your stomach upright." Lin Jishan didn't dare to let Wu Daicheng toss, if something happened, what would he do.

"I'm not going to all of them. They are all in the same place. The terrain is the same and the soil quality is not too bad. Go to a few villages with characteristics or disasters and you will know." Wu Daicheng shook his hand, "I It's not Saburo who is desperate, he will naturally rest when he is tired, and he will not stiffen up."

Who is Desperate Saburo?Lin Jishan was puzzled for a moment, but he was quickly replaced by the meaning he understood, and he no longer struggled with where the word came from. "Ask a doctor to come here. If the doctor says it's okay, let's talk about whether you can go." After Lin Jishan finished speaking, he thought for a while, "How about I ask someone to prepare some boxes and show you the soil quality of each village? "

Wu Daicheng thought deeply, this is also a way, rubbing his stomach, and then meeting Lin Jishan's worried eyes, he hesitated for a long time before nodding, agreeing with Lin Jishan's proposal, and then Wu Daicheng told Lin Jishan what kind of soil to bring back and how many to prepare How is the box sealed.The more Lin Jishan heard it, his face became more serious. He thought it would be easy to bring some soil, but he didn't expect that there were so many requests, but looking at Wu Daicheng's trusting eyes, Lin Jishan agreed no matter how troublesome it was, and the soil he brought back would definitely All according to Wu Daicheng's request.

After a night of rest, Lin Jishan turned on the mode of going to the countryside. When he left, Wu Daicheng hadn't gotten up yet. Lin Jishan told the servants not to disturb Wu Daicheng's rest, and told the servants to remember to ask the doctor. Even if he didn't go to the countryside, he asked the doctor for pulse things can not be left behind.When Wu Daicheng got up, the doctor was waiting outside.The doctor invited was the only doctor in the county, but Wu Daicheng felt a little uncomfortable seeing the doctor's appearance, how poor the four counties were, and the clothes of the only doctor were actually patched.I don't know how old the doctor is, Wu Daichan, but he looks about 60 or [-] years old. Wu Daichan feels ashamed to make such an old man wait for an unknown amount of time.

He raised his hand to let the doctor feel the pulse. After the doctor stopped, Wu Daicheng did not rush to speak. The doctor pondered for a while before saying, "Madam's body is a little weak, but the child in her stomach is very healthy. Tonic medicine, then stop."

"Since you are physically weak, why don't you prescribe medicine for a few more days." Hearing that Madam is not in good health, the servant couldn't help but interject.

"The medicine is three-point poisonous. Madam is still healthy. How can I eat too much? If it hurts the child, there will be nowhere to cry." The doctor shook his head.

"What's your surname, doctor?" Wu Daicheng has a good impression of the doctor. He was also sick in his previous life. He didn't want to go to the hospital for minor illnesses, and he didn't dare to go to the hospital for serious illnesses. The medicine doesn't cost hundreds of dollars and can't get out of the hospital.Those with medical insurance can't afford the doctor to give you medicine that cannot be covered by medical insurance.

"Chu." While writing the prescription, the doctor did not forget to instruct how to decoct the medicine.

"Why doesn't Doctor Chu accept an apprentice?" Seeing that there was only one doctor among them, Wu Daicheng asked casually.The doctor seemed to have thought of something, he didn't move his pen, then he shook his head and didn't answer Wu Xiangdai's question.Wu Daicheng originally didn't want the doctor to answer, but now he was aroused curiosity, "Does Doctor Chu have any unspeakable secrets?"

"Why is this old man so hard to tell?" Chu Langzhong said while picking up the written prescription, "Madam's prescription is here." Wu Daicheng looked at the young man beside him and asked him to follow Dr. Chu to grab the medicine.Chu Langzhong hurriedly said, "Madam, please forgive me, there is no pharmacy at home. If Madam wants to buy medicine, there is only one pharmacy in the city. Madam will ask someone to buy it there."

The more Wu Daicheng heard it, the more strange he felt, so he didn't ask any further, but just asked the young man to send the doctor away, and inquired about what was going on. He wanted to know the story of Chu Langzhong, a rare gossip.The boy came back after a while, and also brought back something about Chu Langzhong, who is a very good man.Chu Langzhong is very famous in the four counties, firstly because of his good reputation, secondly because he took in an ungrateful apprentice, a very clichéd story was relayed by the servant to Wu Daicheng.Chu Langzhong used to be considered rich, but he couldn’t afford it. When poor people went to see a doctor, they didn’t charge for the consultation fee, and sometimes they had to buy medicine. Sometimes poor people brought ordinary herbal medicine, and Chu Langzhong would accept it at a high price.Everyone in the four counties didn't know that Chu Langzhong was a great benevolent person, but his apprentice bought Chu Langzhong's shop when Chu Langzhong's family was in decline, and drove Chu Langzhong out.

After listening to the story, Wu Daicheng was a little speechless. Seeing the boy's face full of righteous indignation, he shook his head. "People who have been favored by others say good things with their mouths, and you believe them all. If you believe it or not, the person who said these things to you and still didn't say anything, then Dr. Chu is a fool."

"Ma'am, how can you say that about Dr. Chu?" The boy's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, but because of his status, he suppressed his bad tone, but his words were still a bit harsh.

"Take Dr. Chu's collection of medicines as an example. He is a doctor, but he is a businessman who runs a pharmacy. There must be at least a drug dispenser in the pharmacy, and there must be a handyman! Is the expenses of the two of them money? Doctor Chu Exempting the consultation fee is a kindness to others. If it is a particularly poor person, it is justifiable to give up some medical expenses, but ordinary medicinal materials are charged at a high price. I can only say that this doctor Chu’s brain has been trapped Seeing that the boy's expression had not changed, Wu Daicheng sighed, "Collecting medicinal materials can be regarded as a way to make a living for the poor. Most of the medicinal materials sold there are collected from the mountains in their free time, and they are still unowned medicines." , as long as you take some time, you can buy it at a normal price, and the person who sells the medicine has already made a profit. This is a reasonable business, but Dr. Chu accepts it at a high price. Poor people go to sell medicine all day long." After taking a sip of water, Wu Daicheng continued, "There are other people in his shop who want to make a living, and he helped what he thought was the poor, but it was the livelihood of the people in his shop that was cut off. Say he is good? What will the people in his shop think if they can’t get paid? These people who come out to work must supplement their families. "Wu Daicheng was happy when he saw the servant shaking his head, "Doctor Chu is a good doctor, but he is definitely not a good family leader."

Wu Daicheng got up and walked around the hall with his waist supported. After sitting for a long time, his waist was uncomfortable, and his stomach was stretched out, which made his waist even more uncomfortable. "It's hard to define good and bad. It's okay to do good things, but you can't be stupid. When you go to Beijing tomorrow, tell the talented people in the newspaper office about this matter, and ask them not to make any comments, but to ask the public with questions, whether Dr. Chu is kind or stupid." The young man hurriedly responded, and then Asked him if he wanted to bring anything back to Beijing, Wu Daicheng said a few things, although it took them a day to drive the carriage, at that time because he was more expensive in the carriage, the speed of the carriage was not as fast as anyone, tomorrow It is enough for the boy to go back and forth on horseback in one day.

In the evening, Lin Jishan came back with several boxes, which were filled with soil, and each box was marked with which village it belonged to. Today, Lin Jishan went to five villages and brought back dozens of small boxes. He was going to the study when he got it, and he went into the study immediately after dinner. Lin Jishan wanted to see what Wu Daicheng was doing, so he followed him.The soil Wu Daicheng wanted was sandy land, mountainous land, fertilized land, good field soil, and inferior field soil.Wu Daicheng looked at the sandy land first. He wanted to use the sandy land to support the watermelon greenhouse. Among the sandy soil in several boxes, Wu Daicheng felt that one sandy land was particularly suitable for planting Xifan, and the rest could be used for growing sesame seeds.After reading it, Wu Daicheng noted it.Lin Jishan looked at the box with watermelons written on it, "Watermelons are for summer, right?"

"Who said you can't grow them in winter?" Wu Daicheng smiled lightly. He had also studied aquatic watermelons, but the sweetness was not as good as the sandy ones.

Lin Jishan looked at Wu Daicheng in surprise, "If it can be planted, I'm afraid it's not easy to sell it!"

"There are so many restaurants in the capital, so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and there is such a big palace standing there, why not sell it?" Wu Daicheng was not worried about selling it at all, what he was worried about was that no one would dare to grow it.

Lin Jishan also thought about how to make people breed. He thinks the prospect is good, but not everyone is willing to try it. He can't let him pay the people to benefit them!

"After you have visited all the villages in the four counties, let's find the two most representative villages. We rent land, and no one will plant it in winter. We rent it during the winter. Mainly, find a few kinds of vegetable seeds and plant a few acres, hire local villagers, and then supervise by a third party. The benefits are our own, and those farmers have our example this year, and it will be easy to promote next year. "Although he takes care of the homeless elderly, he will definitely not be as stupid as Dr. Chu, and his money is not blown by the wind. People feel that they can take advantage of him and want to live a good life. If you have hands and feet, be more diligent.

Lin Jishan immediately nodded in agreement, "You can't rent land in my name, who is suitable?"

"Then go in my name. I'm not an official. I'll send someone to the capital tomorrow. I'll bring some things for me and send a letter to the Third Prince." Let go of the third prince. "When the vegetables are harvested, I will send some to the master. The master is not afraid of eating, but the food available in winter is not as good as in other seasons."

"I'll leave the winter dishes to Madam." Lin Jishan's words were slightly joking, causing Wu Daichen to stare several times before continuing to look at the soil quality. It is more accurate to say that it is the feeling of touching it with hands. After the sandy land was the soil with added fertilizer, but Wu Daicheng felt that something was wrong to the touch. The fertilizer was probably used directly without fermentation, and the result was that the nutrients in the soil were burned.Shaking his head with some pity, he went to touch the other boxes, and Wu Daicheng found that they all had the same problem. "Isn't this soil the soil from a high-quality field?"

"Yes, ma'am is really amazing, but the harvest of these top-class fields is not very good, ma'am, do you know why?"

"It's a matter of fatness. The top-grade field has become a low-grade field, maybe it's not as good as the low-grade field." Wu Daicheng shook his head, touched the others, and shook his head from time to time, until he touched them all, Wu Daicheng went to clean them hand. "Except for the sandy land that I noted that can be mixed with watermelons, put the others aside. After you bring back the soil from other villages, you can decide where to grow the vegetables."
