Guozijian little cook

Chapter 622 This sheep is irreplaceable

Xiao Nianzhi quickly joined the discussion among his colleagues.

There wasn't much to choose from at noon. There were only two noodle shops and a bakery nearby, so you could only choose one of three options.

Unless it’s a very cold day and you’re willing to go farther, you’ll have more options.

After everyone discussed it, a few people chose to have noodles for lunch.

Then the daily gossip started.

The main reason is that we just started working after the new year, and we don’t have much work at hand, so when we have free time, we just like to gossip.

"Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

"The eldest son of Ling Tongbo Mansion died after hitting the wall in the Tianlao of Dali Temple last night."

"The man who killed someone to pay for his life died too late, so it was easier for him. At least he had a new year."

……

Everyone knows that if the eldest son of Ling Tongbo Mansion dies at this time, he is definitely not willing to die.

Either it was arranged by His Majesty, or it was ordered by Ling Tongbo Mansion.

After all, it was very easy for Su Yugui to take revenge on Ling Tongbo's house for his meritorious service.

Moreover, the Weishui Prince's Mansion also gained some confidence because of this incident.

Xiao Nianzhi understood what was going on after hearing this. When he passed by in the morning, he noticed that there were white lanterns hanging in Uncle Ling Tong's house.

It turns out that the prince is really gone.

But, as my colleague said.

Killing for life, the Weishui uncle's house allowed him to wait until the New Year before dying, which was extremely merciful.

The whole morning was spent paddling and fishing.

When Xiao Nianzhi came back from eating noodles at noon, he found that Zhao Shangshu was distributing wedding candies and candied fruits to everyone.

They are all square and wrapped in red paper, one package of candies and one package of preserves.

Moreover, it is a classic flavor from a well-known shop in the capital. Xiao Nianzhi even bought a lot of it during the Chinese New Year.

Is this a happy event?

Xiao Nianzhi was puzzled, but he didn't rush to ask.

Because Zhao Shangshu didn’t need to say more, someone was already explaining: “Governor Zhao has returned to Beijing.”

"Yes, yes, return to Beijing safely."

"Governor Zhao has made great achievements this time!"

"Yes, yes."

……

Congratulations and words of praise floated out as if asking for no money.

Xiao Nianzhi understood as soon as he heard it: Second Master Zhao was back, so Zhao Shangshu was happy.

Thinking about it this way, the honor guard passing by the Yamen gate in the morning might belong to Governor Zhao, right?

After everyone congratulated and praised without being flattering for a while, they asked Minister Zhao carefully, why did Governor Zhao return to the capital?

Logically speaking, he should have come back years ago?

In this regard, Zhao Shangshu was also quite helpless: "My second brother said that in order to achieve such a feat this time, I have to thank my ancestors for blessing me, so at first I actually wanted to go back to my hometown in Xizhou to worship my ancestors."

"However, the journey is too long. The two doctors sent by His Majesty were afraid that his body would not be able to bear it, so they kept trying to persuade him."

"Second brother finally listened to the advice and plans to return to the capital first and recover his health before returning to his hometown."

"It's just that since I've been here, I just wandered around several states in the south of the Yangtze River."

"With this delay, it won't be too late to return to Beijing. However, I gave His Majesty a discount before. Your Majesty also sympathized with him for being injured and needed care, and did not punish him. Your Majesty is so kind!"

……

A mature official needs to pay His Majesty a restrained yet elegant compliment anytime, anywhere and at random.

As soon as Zhao Shangshu said these words, other officials naturally followed suit: "Your Majesty Long En."

……

Xiao Nianzhi is naturally no exception.

There's nothing you can do about it, you're just eating this food.

In the evening, Aunt Yu didn't come over again, so Xiao Nianzhi returned home normally.

After dinner, Islam said to Xiao Nianzhi: "Sir, before returning to Beijing, Governor Zhao went to Chen and Lin states and arrested some offending officials."       Governor Zhao did not act impulsively , before arresting someone, ask the other party to hand over the corresponding work to ensure that the work will not be affected by the absence of this person, and then take the person away.

Therefore, even if Governor Zhao arrested many people and returned, it did not affect the general affairs of those states.

Xiao Nianzhi was a little surprised after hearing this.

I knew that Governor Zhao had gone to several states in the south of the Yangtze River, but I didn't expect that he would still do justice for God.

If nothing else, if Wei Zhiqiu follows him, he is really in the right mood!

The next day, when Xiao Nianzhi was on duty again, Shanglinyuan and Superintendent of Agriculture came to borrow people again.

Zhao Shangshu:.

Don’t go too far!

Wouldn't it be better to use another sheep?

Well, there really is no other sheep that Xiao Nianzhi can replace.

Si Nongjian and Shanglinyuan came here for the same purpose.

The fields where large-scale experiments were conducted last year have increased production significantly.

There are several acres of land where the yield has tripled due to good care.

With today's production technology and fattening methods, it is actually considered high-yielding.

Anyway, His Majesty is very happy, and both Shanglinyuan and Si Nongjian are also very happy.

They are preparing to promote this year, but they are not sure.

Then, taking advantage of His Majesty's good mood at the beginning of the year, they shamelessly borrowed someone.

His Majesty also said generously: He has no objection, as long as there is no problem in communicating with Zhao Shangshu and Xiao Nianzhi, that will be fine.

Xiao Nianzhi quickly packed up his things and followed the agricultural supervisor.

The agricultural supervisory department needs to promote new technologies. In addition to technology, it also needs to write corresponding theories.

Then, they're stuck here.

After Xiao Nianzhi arrived, he mainly assisted them in writing theories.

We discussed it for two days.

On the third day, when Xiao Nianzhi came to the Agricultural Supervision Bureau again, he unexpectedly met someone.

Governor Zhao.

Of course, Xiao Nianzhi didn't actually recognize him.

However, Governor Zhao looks very similar to Zhao Shangshu.

Therefore, when Xiao Nianzhi saw the person at first sight, he had a guess in his mind.

When Jian Zheng introduced Xiao Nianzhi and Governor Zhao, Xiao Nianzhi hurriedly raised his hands and saluted.

Governor Zhao also nodded politely and looked at Xiao Nianzhi with a somewhat complicated look.

While working in the morning, Governor Zhao seemed to have been sitting there, occasionally asking a few questions about fertilizer seeds. Most of the time, he sat there quietly, looking blankly into the distance.

Xiao Nianzhi felt strange, but didn't ask any more questions.

Only occasionally, when she felt Governor Zhao's eyes falling on her, would she turn her head and take a look.

The person he met was Governor Zhao, with a distant and complicated gaze that was difficult to understand.

This made Xiao Nianzhi a little confused.

Governor Zhao, what's going on?

Xiao Nianzhi was puzzled, but this was the first time she and Governor Zhao had met and they had never interacted before, so it was hard to ask too many questions.

Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued working.

For lunch, we had a big pot of rice cooked by the agricultural supervisor.

Don't worry about whether it tastes good or not, at least...

Well, no money required, and enough money.

In the afternoon, I was busy catching horses.

Yes, catch the horse.

Because there was a low-ranking official's wife here at the Si Agricultural Supervisor, and she came to the door with his wife.

Xiao Nianzhi: Ah this...
