After the meal, both the host and the guest enjoyed themselves. After the meal, Qi Yun and Shao Zhirou proposed a compromise plan to the villagers on behalf of the five Qingyun sons.
Villagers who still have vacant land at home can tell Qi Yun to plant suitable medicinal materials as soon as possible. Qi Yun and the others will provide technical support and teach them step by step how to plant, how much water is needed, how to care for it, and what fertilizers are needed...
It is said that cannibals have short mouths. The villagers who had just eaten and drank were embarrassed, thinking that it would not matter even if they had no harvest, since the land was empty anyway, so several of them agreed.
Qi Yun immediately took a pen and paper and recorded the names of each family and the number of acres of land to facilitate further communication...
His Majesty the Emperor watched the whole process, and secretly admired in his heart: This method is very down-to-earth, and even a local parent official can try it.
If people in nearby mountainous areas have little land, using the mountainous areas to grow Chinese herbal medicines... is also a way to make people's lives prosperous!
According to the original plan, the prefect and the county magistrate were to leave after eating.
But His Majesty the Emperor was here, and they didn't dare to leave directly.
The county magistrate looked at the prefect and asked with his eyes: Sir, can you leave?
The prefect rolled his eyes angrily: How do I know whether I should leave?
If you want to leave, go first!
I don’t dare to leave anyway!
The county magistrate also withered.
If you don’t dare to leave, how can I dare to leave?
The empress was still as meticulous as dust. When she saw the two parents and officials sitting there on pins and needles, she took the initiative and said: "You still have to rush back. Let's go in a while. Don't waste time here."
"Yes." The two local officials breathed a sigh of relief. They were grateful to the Empress for her generosity. They first said goodbye to Chen Qingshan, then to His Majesty the Emperor and left.
The emperor went to the study.
He just issued the decree to the prefect yesterday, but it has not yet reached the hands of the prefect. So he simply gave it to the prefect in person and asked the prefect to go through the formalities.
The prefect was shocked when he learned that Qiao Chu had directly acquired the Hundred Thousand Mountains opposite Qiaojia Village: only a very small part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains belonged to Xing'an County, and the rest, stretching to the border, belonged to other counties.
His Majesty's favor to the Qiao family and the Chen family is really like a scorpion's father--the only one he has!
When the county magistrate wanted to leave, the emperor was very angry: "Look at me, you lead the villagers to grow medicinal materials and help the people increase their income. As a local official, you don't want to study and make progress, so you just want to go home?!"
The county magistrate was like a thunderbolt, and he immediately knelt down: "I know my mistake! Your crime deserves death! I will follow you and learn from it."
"Why are you following me? It makes people look awkward! Call your farm clerk over and learn from us. Once you have learned it, go to the nearby mountainous villages to promote it!" His Majesty the Emperor walked over with a single kick.
The county magistrate was so frightened that he quickly agreed, kowtowed and left.
After sending the prefect and county magistrate away, His Majesty the Emperor changed his face again and looked at Qiao Chu with a smile on his face: "Master Qiao, tell me, can the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine be promoted on a large scale?"
After Qiao Chu pondered for a moment, he shook his head: "If the area for planting Chinese herbal medicine is too large and people can't use it, there will be a backlog and the price will go down. It is not suitable for large-scale promotion. But for crops such as grain, everyone can
Needed, more suitable for large-scale promotion..."
"What you say makes sense." His Majesty the Emperor pondered, "But there are many mountainous terrains in my area, so what kind of crops do you think are more suitable for planting in such places?"
Qiao Chuwangtian: I don’t farm, how do I know what to plant?
But you can't say it like that, so after thinking for a moment, Qiao Chu decisively said, "Let's do this. I'll find you someone who is familiar with crops, and you can ask him."
Qiao Chu called Qiao Dahe.
Qiao Dahe had a vague feeling that Chen Qingshan's cousin was not an ordinary person. He was very happy to hear him ask about crops, and he immediately started talking...
Qiao Chu escaped smoothly and went to find Chen Qingshan. The two of them prepared the things they needed to go to the southwest border.
That night, Qiao Chu hugged Xiao Lin'er, who was in a happy mood, and didn't care whether he understood or not: "Son, your father and I are going to fight. You, Xiao Hei, Xiao Hong, Xiao Bai and Xiao Hua's mother and son are at home.
, grandma is playing with you at home, your father and I will be back soon, okay?"
The little boy's eyes widened: "Huh?"
"Ah? Do you understand?" Seeing his stunned look, Qiao Chu was not sure whether he could understand.
Anyway, the average one-year-old baby will definitely not understand.
But this one is unusual. What if I can understand it?
The little boy grabbed Qiao Chu's clothes and tore her clothes hard. Qiao Chu understood and took the initiative to loosen her clothes: "Your father and I will leave tomorrow. If you want to breastfeed later, just find Xiaohua's mother, you know?"
?”
The little kid muttered "Ouch" and just focused on finding a job, completely ignoring Qiao Chu's words.
Qiao Chu sighed: Maybe this kid didn't understand.
However, Qiao Chu soon discovered that something was wrong: the little cub used to fall asleep while feeding, but today he was not happy. He was so full that he kept rubbing his eyes, but he refused to sleep.
A pair of strong eyelids drooped from time to time, and then they opened their eyes firmly to look at Qiao Chu. Both hands tightly grabbed Qiao Chu's skirt, refusing to let go.
Qiao Chu felt very distressed when she saw her: The little boy knows that his mother is going out, so he is reluctant to leave?!
"Son, someone is going to attack our country. If dad and mom don't go, many people will be displaced and many people will lose their lives, so dad and mom are going... Just wait at home and we will come back as soon as possible.
."
The little kid stared blankly at Qiao Chu for a while, then said with a sigh: "Wow..." and cried.
Qiao Chu felt heartbroken and couldn't laugh or cry at the same time. Her heart was so soft that she held the little boy in her arms: "Mother loves you so much, and I can't bear to leave you..."
The little cub cried and fell asleep.
But he was obviously still afraid that Qiao Chu would run away. Even if he fell asleep, a pair of small hands would still hold on to Qiao Chu's clothes.
When Chen Qingshan saw this, he also felt sad. For the first time in a rare occasion, he took the initiative and said: "You and Lin'er will sleep together tonight, and I'll go next door." He took the initiative to go next door.
Qiao Chu didn't sleep all night, and only slowly patted the little kid's little buttocks, once and for all, and then the little kid finally slowly let go of his hand...
It was almost dawn, and both Chen Qingshan and Concubine Rong advised Qiao Chu: "Let's go before the little one wakes up! Otherwise, when he wakes up, he will cry uncomfortably."
Qiao Chu insisted on waiting for the kid to wake up: "If I run away quietly, the kid will be scared when he wakes up, and I have to give him an explanation."
I waited until the little boy woke up, fed him milk again, took a bath and changed his clothes, and then kissed the little boy: "Son, mother and father are going out. You should be good at home. We will be here soon."
Just come back!"
There was reluctance in the little boy's eyes, but he still waved his little hand and watched Qiao Chu leave.
Not even a hundred meters after Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan set off on their horses, they heard the little boy behind them suddenly crying heartbreakingly: "Wow...Mom...not long..."
Qiao Chu turned around and looked at his son who was crying uncontrollably. His heart felt like it was being torn apart and it hurt so much!
Qiao Chu suddenly realized: I feel sad when we are separated, and my heart aches when I hear him cry... Is this what it feels like to be a mother...
