Chapter 399

"Wouldn't it be better if this recipe were spread? What do you mean by this, County Magistrate?" Lord Huang frowned at him, not understanding what he had just said about not teaching the villagers how to use this method to fertilize the fields.

The county magistrate had his hands behind his back, and was obviously in a good mood. He originally thought that he would miss the opportunity to contact the young master of the Ding family, but he did not expect that there would be another way to enrich the land. As long as he took this method into his own hands and reported his political achievements to his superiors, why would he need the Ding family?

"Sir Huang, your method is very good, but we can't let the villagers know about it yet. Please write a copy of the recipe for me and I will report it to the court. If it is confirmed that this method is really useful, it will be a good idea to promote it."

"Otherwise, if we rashly teach the villagers how to fertilize their fields, if the crops are damaged, no one will be able to bear the responsibility, right? We should think about it in the long run."

Although Lord Huang was not a veteran in the officialdom, he knew something was fishy when he saw the smiling face of the county magistrate.

He pretended to be surprised. "Is that so? If the crops are really ruined, then it is indeed my fault. What should I do now?"

Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, the county magistrate was delighted and said, "Well, Mr. Huang, please write a copy of the prescription for me. After I report it, you will benefit from it."

Damn old man! So this is what you were thinking!

Lord Huang looked at him coldly as he couldn't help himself from his joy and sneered in his heart, "Are you trying to steal the credit from me?"

I remember that when I was a teenager, I had a bloody fight with other kids in the village over the newly ripe wild fruits on the mountain. In the end, I won the wild fruits on that mountain by force, and anyone who picked them had to pay!

Now that conditions are better and people have changed, how can someone still take the credit for something?

Who can agree?

Anyway, Huang Yong can't agree to it!

He pretended to be cheerful, "Okay! I'll write the recipe tomorrow and you can have someone come get it!"

"Okay! I thank you on behalf of the people of the world!" The county magistrate smiled from ear to ear.

When leaving, even Zhao Ganwei had to smile. There was nothing he could do about it, since it was he who revealed the good news.

"Master Huang, what did you say? Why is the county magistrate so happy?"

After everyone left, Zhao Ganwei asked the calm and composed Lord Huang.

Lord Huang glanced at him sideways and didn't want to pay attention to him. Who asked this big mouth to spread out any good news?

Zhao Ganwei touched his head in confusion, not understanding why Lord Huang looked at him like that?

So when he learned that the county magistrate asked Mr. Huang not to rush to promote the method of fertilizing the fields, he was even more confused, "Why? Isn't this a good thing for the people? If every household uses this method, the grain output will double and there will be no more people starving to death in Dazhao. This is a good thing for the benefit of the people, right?"

"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you." Lord Huang shook his head and walked away leisurely, leaving Zhao Ganwei alone to ponder.

......

"Don't I understand after you tell me? Really!" Zhao Ganwei complained when he couldn't figure out anything in the end.

Although the county magistrate did not allow people to talk about the method of fertilizing the land, everyone in the village knew everything they needed to know. After all, everyone knew how much grain the land had produced in previous years. Who wouldn't be curious and go take a look when they suddenly saw a few more stones of grain?

Some people are quick to speak and say something when they visit their parents' home, and people from other villages also know about it.

But no one knew how to prepare this method of fertilizing the fields. Only a few villagers who followed Mr. Huang to farm at that time knew something about it.

So after Mr. Huang gave the prescription to the lawyer who came to the village, everyone else also wanted to come forward to take a look.

Seeing everyone's reactions, the lawyer thought that Mr. Huang really didn't tell anyone else. Once the prescription fell into the hands of the county magistrate, it would be difficult to say how the credit would be distributed in the future.

The lawyer sighed, took the prescription and hurried away. He had to go back and secretly copy another copy and have someone send it to Guangning Prefecture.

"Sir, would you like to teach us too?" Several people from other villages pushed forward and asked tentatively.

"That won't do! He came to our village to teach us how to farm. Why should we let you outsiders learn it when we haven't learned it yet?" Father Zhong was the first to object, followed by Sixth Uncle and others.

When Zhong Ruyi heard that her father had a quarrel with some people from other villages at the entrance of the village, she was puzzled, "Hasn't Dad been following Master Huang all day recently? He kept calling Master Huang what he was talking about all day long? Why did they quarrel out of nowhere?"

"It is said that it was people from other villages who started the trouble." Chen Dongzhi didn't even raise his head, concentrating on the small wooden cart in his hand.

After talking about Zhong's father, Zhong Ruyi dug out four grapes from the space, all of different varieties, and said, "Here, help me deliver them to the town. Young Master Ding is leaving tomorrow, and I haven't given him these grapes yet."

"I'm not going." Chen Dongzhi felt annoyed when he heard this name. Since the last time this man came, he came to his house every day for lunch at noon. He either picked grapes from his yard or killed his rabbit and grilled it. He had no sense of propriety at all.

"He's leaving tomorrow." Zhong Ruyi glanced at him and saw that he was angry, so she deliberately said, "How about I go and see him off?"

"no!"

"Then what do you think we should do? You don't want to go, and you don't allow me to go. I have dug up all the grapes. We already have six or seven kinds of fruits planted in this yard, and we can't plant any more."

In the end, Chen Dongzhi could only hold his anger, take the grapes, and cowardly deliver them to the owner.

"......" Looking at his emotional back, Zhong Ruyi shook her head helplessly.

As soon as Ding Renhua left, Master Fang's large army arrived, and now the villagers could put the fruits they picked in their backpacks.

Zhong Ruyi wiped the sweat off her head and talked to him, "Uncle Fang, didn't you say you would cooperate with the Ding family in the future? Why didn't you use wooden boxes like they did?"

Mr. Fang smiled and said, "It is indeed listed, but it is not Apple, it is my family's silk business."

The Fang family has a wide range of interests. The canned food that they had previously dealt in accounted for one-third of their business, while porcelain accounted for the largest proportion of the other two-thirds, and the rest was silk.

Porcelain is selling well, but the silk business seems to be a bit sluggish.

The Ding family is a wealthy and powerful family. After being registered with the Ding family, their silk business has been much better than before. This time, Ding Renhua even helped him bring a batch of goods to the capital.

The popular patterns and styles vary from place to place. Yunzhou prefers fresh and elegant styles, while the capital prefers more luxurious and gorgeous styles.

He has a group of embroiderers who have specially studied the dressing style of women in the capital. The goods that Ding Renhua sent to the capital this time were all according to the preferences of the girls there.

Zhong Ruyi gave a thumbs up and said, "Uncle Fang, you are amazing. Not only do you sell canned food so well, but I didn't expect you to do research in this area. I really admire you."

Otherwise, shouldn’t these people be the ones making the money?

With so much energy, Mrs. Yu is also very capable. She is the one who can run so many businesses. Her family business is basically managed by her. Mr. Yu rarely interferes. She does whatever she wants. No wonder Mrs. Yu's mother-in-law dislikes her.

All the power in the family is in the hands of the daughter-in-law who married into the family. Her son has no say at all, which makes her angry.
