Beloved Plantation King

Coming out of the guest room, Guo Yi had a worried face.

He didn't know why the empress and the sixth prince left the palace, he didn't care about it and it didn't matter now, the important thing was that they were assassinated and injured!

No matter who the mastermind behind this assassination is, he must have an unusual identity and a lot of courage.Now, since I know that the Empress Empress and the others are here and know about this, I have to find a way to protect their safety.

Guo Yi sighed inwardly. After maintaining neutrality for so long, he was going to be involved in the royal family battle after all.Regardless of his attitude in the future, whether he is really on the Queen's side or not, everyone will acquiesce that he belongs to the Queen's side after returning.

The current situation has helped him stand in line.

If I had known this earlier, the Empress Empress and the others should have come back in a few days!Guo Yi felt a little regretful.

"Master Guo, we will set off later... are you okay?" Seeing Guo Yi's frown, Yin Peinan asked with concern.Seeing that he came out of the guest room, he must have said something to Min Yan. Why does it feel so serious?

"Ah?" Guo Yi came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, are you done eating? I can leave anytime."

Min Yan came over and said, "Master Guo, Brother Yin, can we go to the fields with you?"

"No!" Master Guo immediately refused after hearing the words.Just kidding, how dangerous it is outside, what if there are assassins?

His voice was so urgent that several people around him looked at him strangely.

Guo Yi coughed lightly, and said: "The ridges are difficult to walk, and there are many bugs in the fields, and Young Master Min was injured, so it's better to rest at home with Young Master."

Min Yan smiled lightly, glanced at Guo Yi, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your understanding. My health is fine. I heard that the new rice planted by Brother Yin's family is different from others, so I want to go and have a look."

Guo Yi: "..." Now that the empress has said so, he was warned by the eyes, so he had to obey the order.

Zuo An came out of the kitchen and just overheard him. He asked Min Yan worriedly in a low voice, "Brother Yan, is it okay to go out?" Isn't there a chaser who needs to hide behind?

Min Yan shook his head lightly, and replied, "Don't worry, Brother An, I received the news that it's safe and fine."

Hearing this, Zuo An was relieved and said, "It's good to be safe, and it's good to go out for a walk after being bored at home for a few days."

Min Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I just want to see your new rice variety, other vegetables in the field, and the watermelon field."

Being here this time was also a coincidence. Since he was here, Min Yan wanted to take this opportunity to see with his own eyes the rice, which is said to have increased production, and some other crops.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and these are good things that can really bring benefits to the people and make them full and no longer hungry.

"Brother Ang, my people haven't come to pick me up so soon, we want to stay at your house for two more days, is that okay?"

Zuo An handed a straw hat to Min Yan, and replied with a smile: "Yes, your health is not fully recovered yet, you should stay for a few more days, at least take care of your health. Come on, put the straw hat on outside in the sun. Put it on."

"Okay, thank you very much." Min Yan took the straw hat and put it on.

Zuo An took another smaller one, knelt down and asked Cong'er, "Can Cong'er also wear a straw hat?"

Seeing that the adults were all wearing them, Cong'er nodded and said, "Okay. Uncle An'an, will Little Walnuts go too?"

"They don't go, they want to stay at home and watch the house."

"Oh, okay." Cong'er puffed up her face, looking a little disappointed.He touched Little Walnut's dog's head and said, "You guys stay at home and watch the house, and I will play with you when I come back!"

Guo Yi thought for a while and said, "Why don't you bring two?" In case something happens, dogs can sometimes be a powerful force at critical moments.

Zuo An looked at Guo Yi, then at Min Yan, and said, "Then take two."

Cong'er was overjoyed, and ran ahead with the dog all the way.

Seeing Guo Yi, he regretted it again. It would be very dangerous for the sixth prince to leave the team.

He purposely walked over to Kang Ming, and whispered, "Guard Kang, please take care of me, young master."

Kang Ming nodded: "Lord Guo, don't worry."

A group of people went to the field first.

Yin Peinan and Ji Yuebai accompanied Mr. Guo, they really had something serious to talk about, they went into the fields to watch the rice growing, and talked about things by the way.

But today Guo Yi was obviously absent-minded and frightened. He was always worried about the safety of those two, so he had to look on the road from time to time.

Yin Peinan and Ji Yuebai found out, and Yin Peinan said: "Master Guo, brother Wenhao didn't come today, you see, why don't we make an appointment about pushing the grain seeds some other day, and we'll go to the county government to discuss it carefully." talk?"

Guo Yi was also really on his mind today, and felt that it was not a good time to talk about this. At this time, the safety of those two is the most important thing.

He said: "Okay, there are still a few days to spare, let's talk about this another day."

Ji Yuebai tentatively asked: "Master Guo, you have a good relationship with Brother Yan's father, right? I think you are very familiar with each other, and Brother Yan is extraordinary when he sees his background. It's dangerous, you have to check it out when you go back."

Guo Yi paused, his expression very tangled, and finally he raised his head to remind Yin Peinan and the others: "A Nan, these two, you must treat them well, and make sure they are safe, you know?"

Yin Peinan and Ji Yuebai looked at each other, it must be a very important person who can make Guo Yi confess so solemnly.

Yin Peinan nodded and said, "Master Guo, may I ask, what are their identities?"

Mr. Guo shook his head, and said in a low voice: "You don't need to know now, you just need to remember, don't let them have any accidents during your stay at your house, wait until someone comes to pick them up."

Yin Peinan nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will write it down."

Min Yan didn't know the basic situation here, so he was listening to Zuo An's introduction on the small road.

When he heard that they used the methods of raising ducks and fish in rice fields to grow rice, Min Yan showed great interest, asked many questions, and learned about their planting methods and the benefits of doing so.

He also personally went to the field ridge, went in and looked, and found that there was really not much grass.

When he got to the field where the fish were raised, he also went down to the ridge to look, and indeed he saw some fish among the rice grains.

"Wow! Daddy, there is really a fish! It's so big!" Cong'er pointed at the field in amazement, as if seeing something strange, then asked Zuo An, "Uncle An'an, can this fish be eaten?"

Zuo An replied: "Eatable. Do Cong'er want to eat fish? Let's take two back and cook them?"

"Okay, okay." Cong'er was very happy, and said, "I really like to eat fish. The fish in our pond can't be eaten and can only be seen."

Zuo An laughed and said, "Is Cong'er talking about the golden carp?"

Cong'er nodded and said, "That's right, there are golden ones, red ones, and many more. Once they are fed, they are all crowded together. It's a fierce fight, but it's still pretty pretty."

Zuo An said: "Those fish are specially used for ornamental purposes. In fact, they can also be eaten, but they are not delicious, not as good as our earthy carp. Then let's eat pickled fish for lunch, Cong'er likes it?"

"Pickled cabbage fish? Yes, yes." Cong'er cheered.

Min Yan patted Cong'er on the head and said, "Little Greedy Cat, are you a cat? You just like to eat fish."

Then he turned to Zuo An and said, "Brother An, don't worry, he is spoiled by me."

Zuo An said: "It's okay, I raised it at home, it's convenient."

As he said that, Zuo An raised his voice and shouted to Yin Peinan: "Pei Nan, bring two fish back and eat them at noon."

On the other side, Yin Peinan also raised his voice and said, "Okay. Fish it when I get back later."

Passing through the field area, Min Yan asked, "Why does it seem that there is only one field for fish farming?"

Zuo An replied: "Fish farming is our responsibility.

This is the first time I tried this method of planting this year, mainly because the ditches on both sides take up some space, and the output of rice will be [-] to [-] catties less than that estimated by raising ducks.But raising fish is not as troublesome as raising ducks, and it is estimated that some people will raise them in the second season.Generally, we will test these methods first, find out that it is feasible, and then promote them to the villagers. "

Min Yan was silent for a while, and then said: "You are the pioneers, you are more capable and thoughtful than I imagined."

Zuo An sighed, and said: "There is no way, the farmers are too miserable. They work hard every day, exhausting themselves for a year, but they don't have much harvest. The taxes are heavy. After paying the imperial rations, many people can't eat enough. There is no way, we can only try our best to fill our stomachs. It is said that food is the most important thing for the people, but in this world, it is the farmers who grow the food that live the most difficult life. If the life of the farmers can If things get better and no one dies of starvation, then it can be regarded as a truly prosperous age."

Min Yan looked back at the field and the village at the end of the field, and didn't speak for a long time.

He was born in a family of officials since he was a child, and he lived a good life. He didn't suffer much in life, and he didn't know much about the lives of ordinary farmers.If it wasn't for the danger of coming here during this trip, he probably wouldn't have had the idea to learn about the lives of farmers.

Because I don't understand, I don't know what they really need, and I don't know how to help them.

Even those who are officials in the court now, most of them don't understand it. Therefore, when formulating national policies, most of the time they are just talking on paper. Many policies seem to be scratching their heads.

After a while, Zuo An saw that Min Yan's expression was a little heavy, and said: "To improve the lives of farmers, the most important thing now is to increase the yield of crops. First solve the stomach problem, and then have the energy to think about other problems. .But this matter, there are many other problems that have to be solved step by step.”

Min Yan came back to his senses and asked, "It's good that the one you planted can increase the yield so much. Are there any other questions?"

Zuo An shook his head: "It's not enough. For example, our farm tools are a big problem..."

Zuo An talked a lot with Min Yan, talking about how to be more energetic along the way.

Min Yan listened carefully, and was surprised that they knew so many things, and their ideas were unique and forward-looking.

Min Yan felt that although he came here by accident this time, it was really worth it.

A group of people chatted and walked to the melon field at the foot of the mountain.

Xiaobao and the others have already dragged away the watermelon that Yin Peinan picked this morning.

Now in the melon field, Wen Yi and Shui Zhu are sorting out some rotten watermelons, and two aunts are picking up rotten watermelons.

Those that were much worse, Yin Peinan and the others just threw them away, and the villagers would pick them up, wash them out, and save them as seeds.Some of them are only a little bit broken, and the villagers will come to buy them at a low price, peel off the bad ones, eat them, and collect watermelon seeds.

Although Min Yan and the others had eaten watermelons, this was the first time they had seen a melon patch and knew that the watermelon vines had grown like this.

Now is the peak production period. In the large melon fields, large and small round watermelons lie on the ground, some of which are hidden under the green leaves, which are not easy to find.There are many yellow flowers on the melon vine.

"Wow! So many watermelons!" Cong'er was dumbfounded, he had never seen so many watermelons.

The same goes for Min Yan, who asked, "Brother An, you can pick all these, but are there still blooming ones?"

Zuo An replied: "Yes, but the fruits that will grow in the future will be very small, and they may not grow up. After a while, we will have to tear off the melon vines to prepare for planting winter crops."

"That's such a pity." Min Yan sighed, and then said: "You can harvest a lot the first time you plant, it's amazing."

"Brother Yan, you are too proud. For the first time, our experience is not enough, and we didn't do a good job in cutting branches and preserving flowers in the early stage, otherwise we can make more. We can only sum up the experience and lessons next time, and optimize the method. Try it a few times, and you will always find out the experience.”

闵言

Nodding his head, he said, "I will sum up and improve. You will definitely be able to do well. I admire you very much."

While talking, Ji Yuebai and Yin Peinan walked over with serious expressions.

Ji Yuebai whispered to them: "An An, Brother Yan, there is a stranger in the woods over there, who has been staring at us."
