Xie Shi, who caused an uproar, had no idea how popular he was now, and even some traditional Confucian scholars and academics couldn't understand him. After a lot of verbal criticism, his mind was completely focused on another important thing!

Last year's winter was a rare cold winter in a century. Even Fuzhou, which is located in the southeast, had a few heavy snowfalls.Although the snow scene is beautiful, it is not a good thing for poor people and crop cultivation.Sure enough, this year's spring frost was particularly severe. After the Waking of Insects, the climate in the south gradually warmed up. However, it was not until the spring equinox that people took off their winter coats.The sowing of early rice in the south mainly depends on the temperature, and naturally it will be later than in previous years.

In order to obtain a more accurate temperature and determine the time for spring sowing, Xie Shi also made a simple mercury thermometer with the students in the academy in class. When the temperature rises steadily to ten degrees, he can start to "Qiongzhou short" After all, if there is no spring sowing, it will be too late!

"Qiongzhou Short" is the best new rice variety bred by crossbreeding in Xieshi last year. In the experimental field, the yield per mu was doubled directly, reaching as high as eight shi. Never expected to be so lucky.

Now popular in Fuzhou City, the fairy rice in the miscellaneous drama "Immortal Giving Rice" actually refers to "Qiongzhou short". Little did they know that only Xie Shi had this kind of rice in his hand.

The area of ​​the academy’s school field is not enough, and the water and soil conditions are not better than those at the foot of the mountain. Now Xie Shi, who has a big business and a good farm, chose to introduce seeds in the field of Xie Zhuang this time. It took the farmers only one day to complete the work of transplanting rice seedlings.

Affected by the bumper harvest of late rice in Tianzhuang last year, farmers in Xiejiazhuang accepted all kinds of strange requirements such as drying and selecting seeds during Xiejiazhuang this year.Now in their eyes, their owner is a living god, and it is right to do what the owner said!

This group of precious Miao Miao who carried everyone's hopes was surrounded by soldiers sent by Han Ji. It is guaranteed that no one will be able to pull out a single plant. Only Xie Shi and the veterans who are arranged by Xie Shi to serve the farmland can Touch something in the field.Just as Xie Shi was busy between the academy and the farmland, starting his farming life, an unexpected visitor came to Longfeng Mountain.

Let's start from the beginning. Ever since the iron mine was discovered in Le County, Cen Yu became impatient with the people from the court, so he directly threw the mission to Qiu Zhi and the others, and went to mine the mine.Recently, Xie Pu, who had been left alone for a long time and had several closed doors in succession, finally couldn't sit still. In addition, Meng Jiang Wusi, who escorted the recruiting mission southwards, was used to luxury and enjoyment in Dadu. Being stared at like a prisoner by the Han family army on the opposite side of the camp, and living without the company of good wine and beautiful women, he has been urging Xie Pu to quickly complete the will of His Majesty and leave this ghost place.

Wu Si said it lightly, but he didn't know that Xie Pu had never met Han Ji since the first day he met him, let alone persuaded him to surrender.Originally, there were a few cronies around Han Ji entertaining them, especially that Cen Gu'an, who was quite friendly. Xie Pu wanted to buy him from him, but unfortunately, this person was said to have gone to other places to do business recently. Can't find anyone!Qiu Zhi, who was entertaining them now, heard that he was a counselor next to Han Ji, but he was quite indifferent and indifferent.

As a last resort, Xie Pu, who was eager to return to Beijing, had no choice but to save the country in a curve, and played Xie Shi's crooked idea again!

This day, Xie Shi had just returned from the farm and was changing his clothes when he heard a report from a young man, "Officer, there is someone outside the door handing out a name card asking to see you."

Xie Shi casually asked, "Which gentleman is it?" Since his small classroom became popular, many young Confucian scholars have come to seek an interview with him. There is no shortage of "following the heat", but this is a very normal exchange between ancient Confucian scholars. If Xie Shi is free, he will also receive some famous posts, but generally this situation is relatively rare, because Xie Shi has been working all day long recently. Go out to the Grange.Today was also a coincidence, after the seedlings entered the field, Xie Shi was finally free at home and planned to write a letter to greet his lord.

The boy said: "The man said that his master's surname is Xie, and he is from the Xie family in Chenjun. He comes from Dadu, the capital city, and has a relationship with your family."

Xie Shi raised his eyebrows, his surname was Xie, and he said that he had something to do with him, could it be Xie Ju's relative?However, Xie Shi's family originally came from the south to escape from disaster. It has been 20 years and they have never heard of Lao Shizi's relatives in their hometown. According to Xie Ju, all relatives in his hometown have passed away. Why is there another noble relative from the capital at this moment? Woolen cloth? !But when Xie was idle, someone invited someone from the future to come in, intending to ask if he had made a mistake, so someone invited Xie Julai.

The person who handed the name post was the person sent by Xie Pu. Xie Pu was also very funny. He was begging for help but he was unwilling to put on a begging gesture. A collateral child, as the orthodox eldest son of the direct line, he has a noble status, so how could he come to find someone in person, so he wrote a famous post and asked his cronies to send it to Le County.

Xie Pu's move is also a slap in the face. Although Han Ji is not in Fuzhou, in order to prevent this group of imperial courts from having other ideas or tricks, they secretly sent many people to watch them, especially Xie Pu, Wu Si and others. If Xie Pu would come to find Xie Shi in person, he would have been stopped by Han Ji's people, and there would be no chance to see Xie Shi.

The servant of the Xie family has been with the eldest son of his family for a long time, and is used to arrogance, even if it is just a messenger, but in Beijing, where to deliver things, the concierge of any family hears that he has reported the name of the Xie family, They would all welcome him in respectfully, whenever they received such treatment while waiting outside, they would immediately feel resentment in their hearts.When he entered the door, he looked even more like eyes on the top of his head, but he was very angry with the concierge of Xie's family who was leading the way.

Fortunately, in front of Xie Shi, the servant restrained his contemptuous and contemptuous attitude a lot, so that no one was kicked out.Of course, this may have something to do with Xie Shi's resemblance to his master, and his daring not to make mistakes.

Xie Shi took the name card from the servant who claimed to be Xie's servant, opened it and glanced at it, suddenly his eyes froze slightly.

"Your family official is the envoy sent by the imperial court to recruit Han Fuyin?"

When the servant asked this question, he immediately puffed up his chest proudly, and he was quite proud of his words, "Yes, my family official came from the Xie family of Chenjun. , was ordered by His Majesty to come to Nandi to recruit Patriarch Han. That day, I happened to see Mr. Xie in the car, and was shocked to find that Mr. Xie's face was very similar to the young Mr. Xie's family. He suspected that Mr. Xie was a descendant of the Xie clan. Send the young one to visit the mansion."

Xie Shi raised his eyebrows, "Oh, then Minister Xie may have identified the wrong person. Although my surname is Xie, I am not a descendant of the Xie family in Chen County. My father and mother are ordinary people. I'm afraid I can't get any relative relationship with Xie Xiang's family in Dadu."

Perhaps the servants of the Xie family did not expect Xie Shi to have such a reaction. When they learned that they might be the blood of the prime minister's family, shouldn't they be overjoyed and rushed to recognize their relatives?Why do some people deny the relationship at the first time?

The servant hurriedly said: "But Mr. Xie is probably [-]% similar to the second son of my family. My son has seen it with his own eyes. How can he admit his mistake? There must be something hidden in it."

Xie Shi's face was calm, and he said lightly: "The world is so big, there are no surprises, not to mention two people who are alike, let alone [-]% alike, it is [-]% possible, it is also possible."

This servant was completely anxious, and in order to complete his son's task, he even praised Xie Ju a few words: "But son, as the saying goes, dragons beget dragons and phoenixes, I heard that your father Xie Ju is a country cook, how could he be born?" Mr. Xie, why are you a unicorn like a dragon and a phoenix? Didn’t you ever doubt your own life, Mr. Xie?”

Xie Shi's face turned cold, and without looking at the servant again, he waved his hand and said: "My Xie Manor does not welcome people who speak ill of my relatives for no reason, Wang Jia, see off the guests."

The servant of the Xie family was driven away by Wang Jia without any politeness. Judging by his straightforward gesture of driving away, he didn't seem to be rushing to recognize his relatives at all. What is the relationship between the Xie family of Chenjun, the largest family in the world...

Wang Jia came back after chasing people away, saw his master's serious expression, recalled what the servant of the Xie family said just now, and asked later: "Young master, do you want your subordinates to investigate? If it's what he said, I'm afraid it's yours, master. Life experience is really hidden..."

Xie Shi shook his head, went into the study, rubbed the ink, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, handed it to Wang Jia, and ordered: "You go to Fuzhou yourself, and report my letter and the fact that Xie Pu sent someone to me today. Brother Ji, listen and see how he decides."

People who look very similar and have the same surname, naturally there will not be so many coincidences in this world, Xie Shi naturally doubted it, and after this incident, Xie Shi recalled the memory of Xie Ju when he worshiped his mother in August last year. A strange move.Perhaps since then, the seeds of doubt have been planted in Xie Shi's heart, so that when he heard such news today, he was not surprised at all, but had a feeling that it was so.

However, he didn't expect that his own life experience would be related to the current Prime Minister Xie Pu, and Xie Pu, who was suspected to be a relative, was actually an envoy sent by the court to recruit Han Ji!Xie Shi keenly realized that Xie Pu's ulterior motives were not in drinking. I'm afraid it's a fake for someone to recognize his relatives, but it's true to want to use himself!

For this kind of struggle in the officialdom to plot people's hearts, Xie Shi is completely a layman, and his first reaction is to ask his own brother Ji for help, lest he mess up other people's plots, and in the end he also hurts brother Ji
