Chapter 1669: Inch by Inch

Wang Yongzhu nodded, knowing that this was Song Chongjin's kindness.

Of course, this kind of important place is naturally more suitable to be in the hands of one's own people, and Gu Zikai is the best choice.

not only gave Gu Zikai a green road, but also tied them to the interests of the Gu family.

It's a much closer relationship than friendship.

"Then I'll write to my uncle and cousin tomorrow and ask them to prepare early!"

Wang Yongzhu did not refuse, and immediately agreed.

As for how the Gu family thinks about it, whether they will let them participate, it depends on the Gu family's plan.

After finishing the business, Mrs. Zhang sent someone over to call them to dinner.

The two took the opportunity to stop the topic and went to eat with Mrs. Zhang with a smile.

In the following days, it was not until the end of the wheat harvest that the officials of Sinong returned from the Zhuangzi.

With their return, there was naturally the harvest of that acre of land.

These wheat fruits would be brought back to the capital by the officials of Sinong and presented to the emperor.

It is also necessary to select the wheat seeds of the second year from these wheat seeds, and try to plant them in Huangzhuang, if the yield is still maintained at this level, by the end of next year, this batch of wheat seeds will be popularized in the capital and Zhili.

And then slowly spread it out across the country.

Of course, these people also have a plan, Wang Yongzhu Zhuangzi, this batch of wheat, except for a small part of the remainder, they also want to bring it back to the capital together with the harvest of that acre of land.

Otherwise, if it is spread across the country, I am afraid that there will not be enough wheat seeds.

Wang Yongzhu doesn't mind, anyway, as long as he leaves enough for next year's wheat seeds.

To whom is the rest of the wheat sold?

But she never expected that Si Nong's officials would requisition! Does that mean she wants to give it for nothing?

You don't have anything like that, do you?

Wang Yongzhu quit on the spot! She provided a way to increase production, which was already a great contribution to the benefit of the country and the people, and the emperor only gave Mrs. Dingguo an edict, and the emperor had already taken advantage.

It's not enough to take advantage of this cheapness? In her own Zhuangzi, 100 acres of wheat land, the yield is thousands of catties, if this is forcibly expropriated, that is, her year, Zhuangzi will do it in vain, not to mention, she still has to think of buying grain from other places, can't let the tenants in the Zhuangzi starve to death, right?

You can't pick up wool and you can't catch a sheep, right?

A few thousand catties of wheat is not a big deal for her, but that's not how it works.

These officials of Sinong lived in her village for half a month, and she was responsible for eating and drinking. Delicious food and drink for them, what requirements are met as much as possible, but they have to inch in? Raindrop Book House

Immediately, Wang Yongzhu's face sank and he flatly refused.

The official led by Si Nong, when he heard Wang Yongzhu's refusal, couldn't believe it, and was heartbroken: "Mrs. Dingguo! This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the merit will be in the future! If you refuse like this, how can you be worthy of Your Majesty's grace? ”

Wang Yongzhu sneered: "This adult, I think you are afraid that you have forgotten!" This method of increasing production was tested by me, if it were not for the sake of Dachu and the people of the world, I would not have dedicated this method to Your Majesty. ”

"This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people! But the benefit of the country and the people pointed to me as a woman's family? I will test the method of increasing the yield, and I will provide the seed to increase the yield, what do you want you to do? What did you do with the court's money and the gratitude of the people? Just follow me to Chicheng County, eat and drink in the Zhuangzi for half a month, and then take my Zhuangzi's year's harvest back to pay the errand? ”

"I don't know if you adults, have you ever thought about how you will take away all the grain in my Zhuangzi, and how should those tenants in my Zhuangzi live? Have you forgotten that this is not Huangzhuang! ”

Several of the officials of Sinong had already come to their senses, and they suddenly showed a look of shame.

They have always dealt with fields and crops, and they have all experimented in the imperial estate, and they are all royal things anyway, so all the supplies are provided by the royal family and the imperial court.

Naturally, whatever you need, you can take it away directly, and the steward of the Huangzhuang will play it again.

I have long been accustomed to this process, and I actually forgot that this is not a royal manor, but the private Zhuangzi of the lady in front of me.

This time I came to Chicheng County, although there was public expense, but the department of Sinong was originally a Qingshui Yamen, and they came out because of the blessing of this lady of Dingguo, so that they could have such a big official ship to sit on, and there were people all the way to take care of it, and they didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, which was really comfortable.

Even when you get to Chicheng County, in Zhuangzi, you also need something, just open your mouth.

The food and accommodation are not much worse than in the capital.

The most important thing is that they didn't pay for any of their eldest sons, and they were all borne by Mrs. Dingguo.

Now that they are so ashamed to take away the harvest of other Zhuangzi for a year, it is no wonder that Mrs. Dingguo is angry.

The younger officials figured it out and apologized.

Only the one who led the way, still holding his neck, was not convinced: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, you and I are both subjects of Great Chu." Mrs. Dingguo was deeply favored by the emperor, so she was able to enjoy a good life and a lot of rewards from His Majesty. Not to mention that the Weiguo Mansion is several generations of old courtiers, these thousands of catties of wheat may be very important to others, but for Mrs. Dingguo, it is just a drop in the bucket. ”

"Whether it is for public or private purposes, donating it is not to live up to the emperor's grace, and secondly, it is also beneficial to the reputation of the lady and the Patriotic Mansion. Why not? ”

Wang Yongzhu raised his eyebrows, stared at the leader carefully, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly asked: "My lord said it very reasonably, I said that I have walked this way with all my lords, but I still don't know this lord's surname?" ”

The leader's lips curled, and he bowed his head and said respectfully: "Xiaguan Guo Mianβ€”"

Wang Yongzhu silently recited the name twice in his heart before he said with a smile: "Lord Guo is really loyal and patriotic, and he is very human!" I don't know that Lord Guo is a child of the Guo family in the capital? ”

Guo Mian lowered his head and hid the smugness on his face: "Don't dare, don't dare!" The next official is the fourth room and three sons of the Guo family, and the lady praised it falsely! ”

Wang Yongzhu said slowly: "In this case, why don't Master Guo take the lead and donate half of his own fortune and the Guo family's family business over the years?" According to Lord Guo, your Guo family is also deeply favored by the emperor, and you have also received a lot of rewards from Your Majesty over the years, not to mention that your Guo family is also an old minister for several generations. ”

"In the future, this wheat seed will be promoted, and a lot of silver will be needed, with the patriotic heart of the Guo family and Lord Guo, I won't shirk it, right?"

Guo Mian was stunned for a moment.

There were a few people next to him who didn't deal with him, and they couldn't help but laugh.
