Chapter 335
Just as Mr. Qian was getting excited, there was a burst of applause at the door, accompanied by hearty voices.

"I didn't expect Mr. Chang to study the planting carefully and record it in such detail."

It was Mr. Zhou, the assistant minister in purple official uniform, striding forward.

Master Qian also stood up to greet him when he heard the movement, while Lan Xi turned around to salute,
"I have seen Lord Zhou."

Master Zhou waved his hand, "You don't need to be too polite."

After speaking, he sat on the left side of Mr. Qian's desk, and Mr. Qian then sat down,

"The two of you don't think I came here uninvited. I was very interested in hearing Mr. Chang's method of raising rice seedlings at the door just now, so I couldn't help but stop and listen to a few more sentences."

Lan Xi said hastily, "This is the blessing of being a subordinate."

"Master Chang is too modest."

At this time Master Qian also came out to take up the topic, "Master Chang may as well continue, it happens that Master Zhou is here today, so we can listen to it together."

After speaking, he handed Lan Xi's draft to Mr. Zhou.

Lan Xi was not afraid either, and continued, "After many experiments, I extracted a medicinal liquid that helps rice seeds germinate and protects rice seedlings from some pests..."

"Xiaguan used this method to plant two acres of rice fields this year, and also planted two acres with ordinary methods. By comparison, the rice is about to mature, and it will bear fruit in a few days. Xiaguan predicts that it can increase production by about [-] percent."

Lord Zhou and Lord Qian were startled when they heard Lan Xi's last words, then they stared at Lan Xi firmly, and asked sternly,
"Master Chang is serious about what he said, can it really increase production by [-]%?"

Lan Xi said with certainty, "Although the lower officials cannot be completely sure, it is a conservative estimate of [-]%."

Don't underestimate the two percent. Now the rice yield per mu is only about [-]-[-] jin. When the harvest is good, if it can really increase the production by [-]%, how many ordinary people will be able to eat. This is a great benefit to the people. good thing.

So the two had to pay attention to this matter.

Mr. Zhou and Mr. Qian looked at each other, and then couldn't sit still, "Mr. Chang may as well take us to the field we are planting."

Lan Xi had nothing to fear, and then led the way for the two, "My lords, please."

Lan Xi took Mr. Zhou and Mr. Qian. Mr. Zhou was obviously in a hurry and walked a little fast, but Lan Xi was fine. Mr. Qian was getting older, but he was a little struggling, and didn't say anything. He wiped his sweat and kept up with the pace.

Facing the rising sun, the three of them walked to the field where Tuntian Division belonged.

Mr. Zhou looked at the two fields. Although the rice field in the other field was growing well, it was in sharp contrast with the other field.

Mr. Zhou has been in the fields, so he naturally knows the harvest of the rice fields. Seeing the golden grains of rice and the dense rice waves, one can't help being happy.

Lord Zhou's eyebrows and eyes were also stained with a smile. If this happened, he could imagine the cheers of the people all over the world.

Mr. Zhou didn't care about the official uniform, he walked over to the paddy field, casually pinched an ear of rice next to it, and looked at the full grains, so he couldn't help but nod.

Ignoring the rising sun, Mr. Zhou walked through the two rice fields, his official uniform stuck to his back, and Mr. Qian next to him had already held a handkerchief, and the sweat on his face could not be wiped off.

On the other hand, Lan Xi at the side couldn't see any enthusiasm, and Bai Yu's cheeks didn't even drop a drop of sweat.

The three of them stood in the field, Master Zhou was smiling, "It seems that Master Chang is a good farmer, with this skill, he won't be able to starve himself in the future."

Obviously, Lan Xi has personally farmed in the past two years, not only has it spread in the Tuntian Division, but perhaps the entire Ministry of Industry has known about it, otherwise Mr. Zhou would not have said so.

Lan Xi knew that Master Zhou was joking, "Master Zhou was joking, the official is originally from a farming family, and since he was a child he worked with the fields, so he naturally knows some planting methods."

Master Zhou sighed, "Master Chang has not forgotten his original intention, but he did not know that there are many officials with ordinary backgrounds, but now they eat vegetarian meals in the corpses, feast on wine and meat all day long, and have long forgotten who their ancestors are."

Lan Xi didn't answer these words, and then the three of them went back to Mr. Qian's office, and Mr. Zhou questioned them carefully again.

Lan Xi could also feel that Mr. Zhou did know a little about agriculture, even some aspects of planting and pest control. The two discussed with each other, but they talked very passionately. Sometimes Mr. Qian could only stare aside.

Of course, Lan Xi wouldn't disrespect her boss and bring Mr. Qian into the topic, so the three of them talked happily.

In the end, when Master Zhou left, it was already noon, and before leaving, he said something meaningful to Lan Xi.

"Director Chang has been running around the fields recently, looking through the previous records a lot, so as not to be nervous and forget when others ask about it."

After speaking, he left with a smile on his face.

Mr. Qian next to Lan Xi also changed from his usual plainness, and praised Lan Xi, "President Chang, he is worthy of being a Jinshi in the last session. He is young and promising. If you have any ideas in the future, you can come to me in private."

After hearing this, Lan Xi paused, then smiled slightly, "Yes, my lord."

Lan Xi walked out of Mrs. Qian's room and returned to her own office with a calm expression on her face, even if others were curious about Lan Xi's going out all morning, she was expressionless.

Lan Xi dealt with the matter at hand step by step, and then made a summary of the growth of rice at this stage.

After setting off the value, Lan Xi returned home with a smile on her face. This matter depends on Master Zhou's arrangement. If Master Zhou still can't do it, then he can only think of a way, but judging from Master Zhou's behavior today, it must be There should be a play.

When Lan Xi returned home with a smile on her face, she saw Liu Cuie and Chang Linger sitting in the living room laughing and discussing something, but Chang Erhai and Chang Wenwu beside them looked pale.

Liu Cuie still took her big gold chain and big gold bracelet, and said to Chang Linger with a smile,

"Ling'er, this Qiaozhuang Pavilion has a new gouache, and there is something just released, what is it called a mask, and it is said that it can be many years younger after being wiped on, but it is very expensive, I only bought two pairs , Today, each of our natal family has a pair, let’s see if it’s easy to use.”

Chang Linger also chirped at the side, "Okay mother, I haven't used this thing before. The essence cream my mother used before has made my face look younger by several years. Not only the skin is more delicate, but also the wrinkles are less."

Chang Linger has grown into a 12-year-old girl. Although she is more stable outside, she is very lively at home. She is also at the age of beauty.

After Liu Cuie listened, she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. She couldn't help touching her face, but she still pretended not to care, "Really, Mom really didn't think so."

Unexpectedly, Chang Wenwu next to him suddenly said, "Ling'er is just a little sycophant, and she is also a smug sycophant."

These words made Liu Cuie furious, "Chang Wenwu, shut up if you can't speak, and I'll break your leg if you talk nonsense."

Chang Wenwu also didn't understand why his mother was suddenly angry, and immediately turned to Chang Erhai for help, but Chang Erhai turned his face away.

Chang Linger secretly made a face at Chang Wenwu, which made him even more depressed.
