After several years of repeated planting, hybrid rice seeds have accumulated to a certain amount. Before the new batch of rice was harvested, Xuanyuan Xi and Xiao Yi went to see the prefect of Nan Province.

Xiao Yi revealed his identity as a judge, and with generous money to clear the way, they were able to get an audience with the prefect without any difficulty.

Magistrate Chang sat in the upper seat, took a sip of tea, and kept looking at the two young people from the corner of his eye.

Xiao Yi, who has just reached his crown, is dressed in green clothes, clear and handsome, with a temperament as bright as the moon and as gentle as jade. He is a handsome young man in the world.

As an adult, Xuanyuan Xi has sparkling almond eyes, pink cheeks and red lips, a face like a peach blossom, and a thin green gauze cage with a white satin and red plum skirt. The beauty walks gracefully.

When the two of them walk together, their breaths blend harmoniously, as if they are one body. People can feel their mutual affection at the first sight.

"I wonder if Ji Juren will meet with me and discuss important matters?"

Just by looking at the temperament of these two people, Governor Chang knew that they were not simple people. Since he spent so much money to see him, he must have something to ask for, so he got straight to the point.

In this situation, it was naturally more appropriate for Xiao Yi to speak up. He bowed his hands to the other party, his voice was soft and clear, and he briefly talked about hybrid rice in a smooth manner.

When he heard that the average rice yield per mu had reached 700 kilograms, Magistrate Chang was so excited that he spilled the tea in his hands.

"Oh? Is what Ji Juren said true?"

If it weren't for the mental restraint he had honed over so many years as an official, Magistrate Chang would have wanted to rush over and grab the other person's shoulders and shake him hard. Answer me quickly, is that true?

Xiao Yi saw the nervousness and eagerness of the other party, and did not show off. He nodded seriously and said: "It is normal for adults to have doubts. In that case, why don't you go to the fields with me and my husband to have a look?" After all, seeing is believing.”

Magistrate Chang did not hold back and directly ordered a dozen government officials, followed Xiao Yi and others in a carriage to the rice planting base.

Of course, he is not a fool who easily listens to strangers and follows them.First of all, he could tell that Xuanyuan Xi and Xiao Yi were not ordinary people, and they would not be bored to make fun of him, the prefect of the province.Secondly, didn’t he bring a dozen government officials with swords?If the other party dares to play tricks, let them have no return.

An hour later, the group got off the carriage and saw a large field of green and yellow.

Chang Zhifu has never cultivated the land, but occasionally goes down to inspect it and experience the people's sentiments.However, he did know that the rice yield per mu was about two to three hundred kilograms. After all, he had to manage taxation, so he still remembered this data.

Compared with the previous memory pictures, there is also ordinary rice on the side for comparison. Although it has not been harvested and the specific yield is not known, Chang Zhifu can be sure that the harvest in this field is definitely more than twice that of before.

Looking at the large area of ​​neatly arranged, tall and graceful rice plants with heavy and bent heads in front of them, the more he looked at Chang Zhifu, the more intense his gaze became, as if what he was looking at was not the rice plants, but a peerless beauty who had taken off all her clothes.

The dozen or so people who followed also stared at the fields with expressions of disbelief on their faces, extremely shocked.

Chang Zhifu suddenly turned his head and stared at Xiao Yi and Xiao Yi with passionate eyes. He took a few steps quickly and wanted to step forward and hold the young man's hand, but his hold was in vain.

It turned out that when Xuanyuan Xi noticed that his eyes were shining when he looked at Xiao Yi'er, he pulled him back in advance to avoid the other party having to use his hands or feet.

Magistrate Chang didn't take this little embarrassment to heart. He stretched out his hand and slapped it hard, then clenched it into a fist excitedly, walked to the field again, reached out and gently stroked the rice ears, and was silent for a long time.

Xuanyuan Xi poked Xiao Yi's waist with his finger, signaling him to do business quickly and go home.

After receiving the urging signal from her lover, Xiao Yi walked to Magistrate Chang's side and called out "Sir".

After getting the other party's attention, Xiao Yicai smiled slightly and said: "Such things that benefit the country and the people must be reported to the court as soon as possible. What do you think, sir?"

Master Chang thought that the other party was young and vigorous, and wanted to take credit for it. Although he was a little disappointed, when he thought about the rice fields, he could understand the other party's mood, so he also stroked his beard and replied with a smile: " This is inevitable. I will immediately submit a letter to the court when I return. At that time, based on this merit, Ji Juren will definitely be rewarded and promoted to a noble rank."

"Your Excellency, you are joking. Ji is just farming and does not deserve any recognition from the court."

After a lot of back and forth, Magistrate Chang finally stroked a handful of rice ears before asking someone to drive back home.

Xuanyuan Xi and Xiao Yi also returned home leisurely and resumed their relaxed and carefree life. After the report, nothing happened. They just had to wait for the court to send someone.

Here, Magistrate Chang returned to the study. He did not sit down immediately to write a book, but paced back and forth in the room excitedly.

I think back then, he was also an ambitious and ideal young man, but in this officialdom, it was really difficult to be clean and self-reliant. But he really didn't want to join the others, so he gave up on himself in the end and resorted to some tricks to send himself out. This is a place of exile that no one cares about.

Unexpectedly, such high-yielding crops would appear in the land under his jurisdiction. God is really merciful, and the people will no longer have to go hungry in the future.

After calming down, Magistrate Chang sat on a chair, laid out paper, polished ink, took a deep breath, and then picked up his pen to write.

They had investigated and found that Magistrate Chang was a rare good official, which was why Xuanyuan Xi and Xiao Yi dared to leave this matter to the other party.

If the other party is a corrupt official with evil intentions and knows about the existence of high-yielding hybrid rice, he will probably first get rid of Xuanyuan Xi and the others and take it for himself.If he had been more greedy for money, he might not have reported this matter, but would have kept it to grow and sell the grain to make money.

Of course, none of these assumptions existed. The "good official" Chang Zhifu spent most of the night and finally wrote the book. Regardless of whether it was still dark, he directly summoned a personal guard.

He ordered his personal guards to take the letter and two bundles of ordinary rice and hybrid rice wrapped in fine cloth, and set off overnight to the capital.
