The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 248 In the fields, hybrid rice step 1!

One month later.

Wang Ming not only brought the Wang family to Ningzhou, but also brought many businessmen from Yangzhou.

It has to be said that the Jiangnan region is indeed rich. Although there is oppression from the aristocratic families, the power of the private merchants is also very strong. Moreover, after experiencing the previous wave of shocks, the power of the Jiangnan aristocratic families was greatly weakened, which gave the private merchants an opportunity to rise.

However, the local merchants in Jiangnan were already powerful, and Ningzhou brought them new opportunities.

Although Ningzhou is not big, it can serve as a transit point, allowing their products to be sold outside the Great Wall. It is equivalent to the land of Ningzhou, allowing their industries to radiate to a wider area!

Of course, during this month, Gu Jingzhi mobilized hundreds of thousands of criminals and began to repair the city and the official roads. In short, during this month, the entire Ningzhou underwent earth-shaking changes!

Some nearby business travelers also gradually entered Ningzhou.

this day!

Several official ships arrived at Ningzhou Ferry, with many officials standing on the deck. Judging from their official uniforms, their ranks were different!

After the official ship docked, the officials and their entourage came down. Wu Xiang led his men to greet them. As soon as the two groups met, Wu Xiang asked, "Is Lord Chen here in person?"

Wu Xiang was naturally the person sent by Gu Jingzhi to pick up people. These were the officials he had asked for from the capital. His purpose was to invite agricultural talents to study hybrid rice.

However, these people just thought that they were here to learn how to build terraces.

After all, hybrid rice is too shocking, and he doesn't want to expose it before there are any results.

** is the chief officer leading the team this time, a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties. However, from his dark skin and slightly rough hands, it can be seen that he is an official who is good at practical work.

Come to think of it, after all, if an official who is good at farming has delicate skin and tender flesh, he will not look like a worker at all.

"Are you local officials from Ningzhou?"

**Looking at Wu Xiang, who was in his early twenties, he didn't put on airs, his voice was calm and his words were simple!

Wu Xiang said, "I am Wu Xiang, the Ningzhou Magistrate, and have been ordered to come here to meet you all! On behalf of Lord Gu, I would like to ask if you all would like to rest at the government office for a few days first, or go directly to Fufeng?"

"Oh? Marquis Gu is in Ningzhou Prefecture?"

** asked curiously.

Wu Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Over the past few months, Marquis Gu has been staying at the government office for a few days at first, but then he's been busy traveling all day. During the spring plowing season, he even took all the officials in Ningzhou to work in the fields! Now that the Ningzhou wharf is finished, he's already gone to Fufeng!"

"Fufeng..."

**After hearing this, a smile appeared on his face: "Gu Hou is the Marquis of Daxia. He doesn't live a life of luxury but cares about farming. It's really rare! Well..."

He glanced at the officials behind him and said, "It's rare that Marquis Gu cares so much about farming. We can't just enjoy ourselves in the capital. After dinner, why don't we go to Fufeng County and see its terraced fields?"

"We will obey your orders and follow your instructions!"

Those who can stay with ** are not the ones who live a life of luxury. They are all people who do practical work, otherwise they would not come to Ningzhou, a poor place, to suffer.

After everyone had agreed, they followed Wu Xiang into the carriage!

……

In Fufeng County, Gu Jingzhi was working in the fields, looking at the crops growing well, feeling particularly relaxed and happy.

After more than a month, the crops in the field have grown very lush. Looking around, everything is green. Unless you go close, you can't see the exposed soil at all!

In a while, these rice plants will bloom and pollinate. Now is the perfect time to show the terraced fields to the officials in the capital!

Gu Jingzhi deliberately wore a short suit today, and was followed by several people who were dressed just like him.

Chen Yu was walking towards them on the road, carrying a basket in her hand, dressed like a country girl. When she saw Gu Jingzhi and others coming, she immediately came up to them with a smile.

Gu Jingzhi walked forward to support her and said softly, "You are already pregnant, you should rest more. The roads here are not easy to walk on. What if something unexpected happens?"

Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "The doctor has already checked it out. It's nothing serious. Besides, it's already past noon, and my husband hasn't eaten yet..."

"It's okay to do it once or twice, but never do it again!"

Gu Jingzhi came to Fufeng at the right time, but after just a while, Chen Yu found out that she was pregnant.

Fortunately, although Chen Yu had a hard time in the Chen family before, after she met Gu Jing, he tried his best to take care of Chen Yu's body, and now her body is stronger than that of an ordinary warrior.

However, no matter how healthy your body is, it can't withstand such torture, right?

Gu Jingzhi and his wife were sitting in the field, and everyone else smiled knowingly at the warmth between them.

After inviting everyone to eat together, Chen Baonian ate a steamed bun with some side dishes, looked at the lush green crops, and said, "Jingzhi, it's a good thing you came to Ningzhou, otherwise I don't know when I will see such a scene again in my life!"

When others heard what he said, they all nodded in agreement.

Gu Jingzhi put the side dish into his mouth and said as he ate, "Moving a tree can save the dead, and moving a person can save him. When we govern a place, we can't think about things in the usual way!"

"Different places have different situations. We need to look at the problem from a global perspective and first identify the main contradiction. Once the main contradiction is resolved, other problems will be easily solved!"

"Take Ningzhou for example! We have no people, no money, and no land. It seems like a dead end, but there are more solutions than problems in this world! However..."

He put down the steamed bun in his hand and sighed softly, "Ningzhou's previous situation is not your fault. No one can imagine that in a local prefecture, there are more bandits than civilians. This is because the higher-ups are not doing anything!"

"Yes!"

Chen Baonian said with some worry: "We studied and became officials because we wanted to do something practical for the people of this world. But after becoming an official, we realized that some things cannot be accomplished just because we want to do them!"

"When I first left Beijing to take up my post, I received Jingzhi's guidance. I thought that even if the place was poor, it would be poor. I could always do it well if I put my heart into it. Who would have thought..."

He smiled bitterly and shook his head...

Thinking back to the first day he came to Fufeng, all he had to eat was a vegetable steamed bun, but this was already the best ration in Fufeng.

If it weren't for Gu Jingzhi's help and the Lin family sending some supplies, he would have been the first county magistrate to starve to death!

Gu Jingzhi had heard about his experience from the Lin family. He patted Chen Baonian on the shoulder and said, "That being said, after seeing Ningzhou grow from nothing to prosperity, I believe it will be easier for Brother Chen to get started when he becomes the head of a region in the future!"

"Not bad!"

Chen Baonian cheered up and said, "With Fufeng's help today, no matter how big the difficulties are, I'm sure he'll be able to solve them easily!"

"Ok!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled and nodded, then said: "Stop talking, let's eat first, after eating we still have to go see...Huh?"

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly looked towards an official road.

"Whose convoy is that?"
