There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 196 Rice....

Is this true? Some people couldn't believe it, especially Chen Jian: "What happened to the local officials?" "

Leaving aside, you should have heard about Champa rice along the coast of Fujian.

Double-cropping rice is good, but if there are three-season rice and four-season rice, no one will think too much!

"Champa is not Daming's territory after all." Wu Youwei could understand: "And...for this kind of thing, so what if someone has an account? Who will believe it?"

Yes!

The crowd fell silent for a while.

If Wu Youwei hadn't said this kind of thing swearingly, would they have believed it?

Wu Youwei also reminded Luo Lun: "After you go, it's best to take root in the local area first, buy fields and plant them yourself. After you have two years of experience, you will write a book. At that time, you will have experience. People come to the door without publicity, just like my greenhouse, now who doesn’t know garlic and chives? Many people buy them in winter, and they are also used as tribute vegetables!”

This is a fact. At that time, Wu Youwei planted greenhouses and they all thought it was for the convenience of eating vegetables, but he let Wujia Village also plant greenhouses, and the vegetables he cultivated were quite different. Just this leek and garlic yellow, no one else’s home could have it anywhere!

It was sold at a high price in the first year, and people inquired in the second year. In the second year of Huangzhuang, these two vegetables were brought in as winter tribute. At the beginning of the third year, many households inquired.

And a few people who have Zhuangzi also planted chives and garlic for a year, which made a lot of money, and made their tenants a lot richer all of a sudden.

"Rather than forcing sales, it's better to make them interested and ask for it." Wu Youwei said: "Your Zhuangzi has a bumper harvest every year, and the output is several times that of other Zhuangzi. Do you think they still curry favor with you?"

"Great kindness!" Lauren really got it right.

Seeing that Luo Lun has a way out, everyone felt at ease. However, Luo Lun has no family or child, and there are parents to take care of him at home, so everyone prepares for him.

The two tutors each gave him two boxes of books; Zhang Sheng gave him a couple of servants, a cook and a cook, both of whom lived in the same family as Luo Lun, and they cooked authentic Jiangxi dishes; Yang Yiqing gave Luo Lun two carriages, both of which were large; Li Dongyang gave him pamphlets with the names and family backgrounds of the officials he was about to take over there; Liu Daxia gave him two horses, so that He used it to pull a cart; Liu Jian directly hired twenty bodyguards from a bodyguard bureau to escort him to the post.

Wu Youwei simply gave him two large carriages, one containing a lot of cloth, and the other containing pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

At the same time, he gave Li Xiang a bank note of 1000 taels, which was issued by the household department and could be redeemed nationwide, and a small box of 500 taels of gold.

"You keep this for your master." Wu Youwei told him: "Your master is upright and self-reliant, but these days it is difficult to move a single step without money. He first came to a strange place to take office, and he has no backer, let alone background, so he is bullied." There is no place to say anything, you will send a letter to us when the time comes.

"Do you have a solution?" Li Xiang didn't quite understand the affairs in the officialdom.

"I know Jin Yiwei!" Wu Youwei carried Wantong out at this moment: "And he is also Concubine Wan's younger brother.

Li Xiang didn't know who was the highest official, but he knew that the emperor's daughter-in-law was the oldest!

He has met Mr. Wan, although he has never spoken to him, but he has seen him and knows that he is Jin Yiwei, and now he is heard that he is the younger brother of Concubine Wan, the younger brother of the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine is the emperor's... daughter-in-law ?

That's what he thought, and then he became very confident: "Hey!"

In addition, Wu Youwei also told Luo Lun: "People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. When you just passed by, people respect clothes first and then others. Only when you dress better can they look up to you." At a glance, it is also convenient to act in the future.

"I know...but I got so much from you..." Lauren felt that he had nothing to repay.

"Then you leave those manuscripts of yours for me." Wu Youwei hurriedly said, "You are the number one scholar! I will study according to your notes in the future, maybe I can also be the number one student in the exam?"

He said with a look of longing: "When the time comes, I will also straddle the street..."

They all made Lauren laugh: "You!"

He knew that Wu Youwei was reassuring him, but he didn't have Kaoshan, his background, and he didn't have the conditions. He could only rely on these close friends, and the people on the same list also gave him a lot of help, but in the end no one pleaded for him. He is going to make a decision.Wu Youwei was afraid that he would have a hard life, so he gave things and money, and was afraid that he would be embarrassed to accept them, so he didn't give them to him, so he gave them to Li Xiang, but how could Li Xiang hide it from Luo Lun?

Luo Lun found out not long after, he wanted to go back, but was prevaricated by Wu Youwei, and told him: "When you get there, there are a lot of places to spend money, you don't have to do it, don't think it smells like money, no Money can’t open up the situation, and you are not familiar with the place, so if you want to start a career, you have to be willing.”

Especially the local guarding eunuch.

Thinking of this, Wu Youwei said again: "I'll ask someone to bring him a letter."

The person he was looking for was Shang Ming. The guarding eunuch over there knew Shang Ming. Although they hadn't met each other for more than two years, they entered the palace at the same time, and their friendship is still there.

Shang Ming is now a celebrity in front of the emperor. The guarding eunuchs are far away from the emperor. They give some gifts to those who can appear in front of the emperor every year. Mentioning them will make the emperor not forget them.

And Shang Ming is such a candidate now, why did he give Wu Youwei a generous gift during the Chinese New Year last year?

Because someone gave him a gift, and the guarding eunuchs from all over the place gave him big gifts. Shang Ming is a new celebrity. Woolen cloth?And the tenants even sang praises to the emperor, because they also got rich!

This made Emperor Xianzong look at him with admiration, thinking that he was loyal, thoughtful, and protected his reputation.

So although Shang Ming didn't serve him by his side, he still left a name, and Shang Ming knew how to handle affairs. He managed this Huangzhuang very well. In addition, Emperor Xianzong asked him to experiment with growing overseas high-yield crops. I remember Shang Ming even more

Wu Youwei asked Shang Ming to come to Mo Ling Villa, and Shang Ming came.

He didn't go to Huangzhuang, the place is so-so... can't get in...

After Shang Ming came, Wu Youwei said, "I have a friend who is about to take office, can you please write a letter to the guardian eunuch over there?"

"Which guardian eunuch?" Shang Ming asked, "How should I write it? What kind of official is your friend?"

Wu Youwei clicked his lips, eunuchs are so awesome!

Then he said that Shang Ming used Wu Youwei's study and wrote a letter in front of Wu Youwei. He was demoted, but he is the new champion!

He also said that the emperor is thinking about it, and I am also thinking about it. Sooner or later, he will come back. It depends on how your friendship with him is. Maybe if the friendship is good, he will bring you back together...

"Is it appropriate to write like this?" Wu Youwei was in a daze. There was no trace of politeness in this tone!

"Appropriate!" Shang Ming said: "If you speak nice words to them, they will take Joe instead; if you are indifferent, they will not dare to do anything."

Wu Youwei was speechless. Is this a scumbag?

"Won't people find out after that?" Wu Youwei thinks that Luo Lun will stay there for at least two or three years, and after a long time, can people not notice?

"What are you afraid of?" Shang Ming said: "As long as our family mentions him in front of the emperor, he will not dare not help."

"What does this... Lord Guardian like?" Wu Youwei felt that writing letters was one thing, but getting along well was another.

"What can he like in that place? But I heard that he likes jade." Shang Ming thought for a while: "He just gave our family a pair of Wen Yu."

Eunuchs have a lot of inconveniences because they lack those things. For example, when they go to the toilet, they have to squat down to urinate like a woman; The smell of urine is intoxicating. It is okay to infect others, but not nobles; there are even those who are in poor health and have cold hands and feet all year round. A pair of warm jade can be held or carried with them...

Wu Youwei understood, it doesn't matter if he likes jade, he has plenty of it!

So he took the letter and prepared a generous gift separately, and handed it to Li Xiang: "At that time, in the name of your master, I will give it to the local guarding eunuch."

Li Xiang shivered: "Huh?"

"Forget it, put the things away. If there is a need, let your master send them over." He might not be able to do this kind of thing well even as a little bookboy.

Then I told Lauren.

Lauren was obviously not happy: "Want to give a gift to the guardian eunuch?"

"Take it as someone entrusting you to deliver things!" Wu Youwei said: "Shang Ming is a good person, even though he is a eunuch, he can lead the tenants of Huangzhuang to get rich, so he has people's livelihood in his heart.

When he mentioned Shang Ming, he said that Shang Ming brought his tenants to make a fortune together. This is a good thing, which made Luo Lun feel a lot less awkward: "That's true."

"Right?" Wu Youwei said: "He said that the other party is also a hard-working person, tell me, if there is a way to survive, who would be willing to be a eunuch?

Lauren nodded unconsciously.

"If you want to do things over there, you have to deal with people, and it's not convenient for you to do things without the nod of the guarding eunuch!" Wu Youwei continued: "And the eunuchs are not all bad, right? Talk about the eunuch of the Three Treasures during the Yongle period, what a good person? Go to sea on behalf of the king, and all nations will come to court!"

When it comes to the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, no one is as famous as the Sanbao eunuch. Zheng He's seven voyages to the West made the Chinese see a vast world.

At the same time, it also brought countless overseas items.

"Yes, at the time of Emperor Yongle, Daming..." How beautiful is Daming?If you have nothing to do, let the horse go for a walk on the grassland outside the pass.

"That's right, so, don't be too prejudiced, it would be even better if you can participate in that rice plan together." Wu Youwei fooled him: "It's not good for you to fight alone, as the saying goes, a single tree cannot support you. Many trees form a forest "Ah. "

Unity is strength, dear!

"Okay." Lauren nodded, "I'll see what happens then."

Seeing that he had finally made sense, Wu Youwei was relieved, because he was demoted and the emperor was in his life, so he couldn't waste too much time, so he set off at the beginning of June.

A lot of people sent them off with customs clearance guides, because they were going to take office, and they could live in a post station built by the government on the way, which didn't cost money.

But I still have to spend a little money to take care of it, otherwise the food and accommodation will be standard, of course not, I have to eat something delicious, eat some meat, right?

So Wu Youwei exchanged another box of copper coin change for Li Xiang.

Li Xiang doesn't even know how much money he has collected these days, because Yang Yiqing also gave him money in private, and what he gave was scattered silver, so don't let him foolishly reveal his wealth, big silver ingots and gold are not allowed on the road flower.

Six carriages pulled things, and two carriages carried people. They saw off at Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of Beijing.

Basically, they were the ones who came, and Li Xian didn't even send a servant, so everyone's impression of him was even worse.

Only Wu Youwei knew that Li Xian would die in the twelfth lunar month.

It doesn't matter if you come or not.

After a farewell, seeing that the bodyguards were all in good spirits, I felt relieved, and sent them away, all of them listless. The two commanders sent them to be Chang Sui, and everyone went to the two commanders at night. At home, the two instructors reminded them to be vigilant. This is a lesson.

Everyone nodded, the government needs to learn, not rely on one's blood.

Because of his filial piety, Wu Youwei returned to his Mo Ling Villa the next day.

In the middle of the night, Wu Youwei felt that someone was watching him. This feeling was so obvious that he woke up immediately, and then opened his eyes suddenly!

He met a pair of eyes that were as bright as cold stars!

Taking advantage of the light of the waning moon, he saw Wantong!
