Magistrate Chen and his master didn't know much about farming, but they believed that Huo Yunchao wouldn't lie and deceive. They had seen with their own eyes that three and a half kilograms of sweet potatoes could be harvested from two and a half centimeters of land. The yield of ten kilograms per mu was a sure thing.

Huo Yunchao said that he could grow sweet potatoes with a yield of twenty dan per mu. Magistrate Chen did not think he was bragging, because Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning were able to grow ordinary rice with a yield of one or two shi per mu into a high yield of four shi per mu. Rice!

Huo Yunchao has so many achievements that he doesn't need to spend much time convincing others. As long as he shows enough confidence, he can easily win people's trust.

County Magistrate Chen did not make a promise in front of Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan. He nodded and talked about "The Potato King and the Girl": "Yunchao, Shaoxuan, you haven't entered the officialdom yet, so you don't know the twists and turns inside. Listen. I said, you must have a good idea in your mind so as not to offend others."

He is an unstinting demon king in the capital city, but he has a rich and wealthy family. He has been exposed to it since childhood and knows who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked. He also knows that there are many unspoken rules in this world. It depends on whether you have the ability to let others open the back door for you. , take advantage of the loophole.

Of course, County Magistrate Chen himself disdains the use of those dirty and dirty methods. His family background is enough to keep him "clean and pure".

Although many peers do not understand what County Magistrate Chen does, Magistrate Chen does not need the understanding and approval of those people. He only needs the approval and understanding of his old man.

The master felt that he had no use for it, so while Magistrate Chen was teaching the two juniors, he quietly stuffed dried sweet potatoes into his mouth. They were sweet and the more they chewed, the more delicious they became.

Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shao

Xuan listened carefully to Magistrate Chen’s free teaching. Although they were extremely intelligent, they had not had guidance from their elders in this area since they were young. Many of the unspoken rules that Magistrate Chen said were very new and refreshing to them. a feeling of.

County Magistrate Chen received timely and accurate positive feedback. The more he spoke, the more he wanted to share all his life experience with these two enlightened juniors.

Master: You can’t eat dried sweet potatoes anymore. Let’s eat hawthorn slices.

Just like that, Magistrate Chen's carriage was divided into two distinct "camps", one was talking and the other was eating, but there was no disharmony at all.

In order to deliver the freshly dug sweet potatoes to the prefect faster and better, Magistrate Chen personally arranged the manpower to transport the sweet potatoes. Three stones of sweet potatoes were loaded into two carriages, and a total of five people were responsible for the transportation.

A carriage is driven by two carriage drivers in turn, and the extra person is responsible for supervision to prevent the sweet potatoes from being damaged during transportation.

County Magistrate Chen and his party only stopped briefly at the county government office. The carriage changed horses and coachmen and embarked on the journey again.

During the next journey, Huo Yunchao repeatedly tried to find opportunities to talk to County Magistrate Chen about the promotion of sweet potatoes, but he always failed to find the right time, which greatly frustrated his enthusiasm.

The journey from the county government office to the prefecture was long, and it took more than a day to drive quickly. We had to find a place to stop and spend the night along the way.

Huo Yunchao was not worried about his personal safety. After all, the life of the county magistrate was too valuable, and the Chen family's guards were dedicated to their duties. No young man would dare to attack them, unless the old man hanged himself and no longer wanted to live.

The four of them sat around the fire, Huo Yunchao listened.

County Magistrate Chen and his master talked about their childhood fun, and while they were chatting, they talked about Er Niu.

Magistrate Chen said with a smile: "Er Niu is very much like my little girl. She is also sweet-tongued and knows how to get things done. The most important thing is that she has a filial heart to her parents. I often feel that my little girl is the one sent to me by God." Cotton jacket.”

The master likes that smart and clever little baby very much; "The fifth lady is talented and intelligent, with a good heart and a good heart. With the help of adults, she found a suitable husband. She should guard the husband's child at this moment."

“嗐,姑娘家长大了就得嫁到别人家去,每每想到这事儿我就心痛。当年我也想让我小闺女招赘上门,让老爷子操拐杖狠狠揍了一顿。”陈县令He accidentally spilled the beans and looked at Huo Yunchao with some embarrassment.

Huo Yunchao puffed up his chest and said, "Sir, I recommended myself as my wife. Many people in the village laughed at me and said that I had bad intentions and bad intentions. That's really what I am. I care about my wife's temperament and appearance, and the family property that my father Xu has saved. That's what I am. That’s what I thought.”

County Magistrate Chen laughed at Huo Yunchao's overly straightforward words. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yunchao, you are so upright. If you really enter the officialdom, there will be more people who really like you than people who hate you." .”

Huo Yunchao said: "Sir, you only live so many days in this life. You will be happy and sad every day. I just want to spend my time on worthy people and things, and I don't want to waste time caring about others. As long as I don't care about other people's evaluation of me. and opinions, they can’t hurt me.”

County Magistrate Chen knew that it was not appropriate for a temperamental person like Huo Yunchao to be in the officialdom.

Hypocritical villains who are the same way are not compatible with each other and must not be compatible.

Perhaps Huo Yunchao's words touched the secret place hidden in the deepest part of Magistrate Chen's heart. He asked for the first time: "Yunchao, Shaoxuan, do you two plan to take the imperial examination road? Or do you want to take the recommended road?"

The master was very shocked. His young master knew very well how powerful the Chen family was. He was rarely so straightforward and could easily attract wolves, tigers and leopards with malicious intentions.

Zheng Shaoxuan vaguely knew how great the Chen family was, but he didn't think about the hidden rules at all. He answered honestly: "Sir, I want to take the imperial examination road. Let's try again for the last time."

The title of scholar that he had passed before was replaced by Master Zhou. He had hatred and regret in his heart, and wanted to take the scholar exam again to prove his true strength.

As for how to go forward, Zheng Shaoxuan actually didn't think deeply about it. He didn't dare to think about it.

Huo Yunchao chuckled and said, "I'm not as good at studying as my brother-in-law, but I also want to be a scholar. With fame and fame, my unborn child will be able to benefit from it in the future."

The ideas of these two young people were so practical that County Magistrate Chen was at a loss for words and asked his master for help: "Master, you know these things better, please tell them."

The master followed County Magistrate Chen all day long, eating and drinking, and he didn't have too great a goal in life. At his age, taking the top exam was already a dead memory of his youth.

However, the master really wanted to change his life through the imperial examination, so he spent a lot of energy studying various examination techniques and collected a lot of information.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

Master is indeed better than County Magistrate Chen

Knowing more about the matters related to the imperial examination, he opened his mouth and asked: "Yun Chao, Shaoxuan, what books do you read on weekdays? How long do you spend reading and practicing calligraphy every day?"

These questions may seem commonplace, but they can actually help the master judge the learning ability and progress of Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan, help them change their misunderstandings and concepts, and add a long list of must-read items.

Under the correct guidance of their master, Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan discovered their own shortcomings, discovered and solved problems, in order to improve their learning efficiency and obtain academic honors.
