Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Chapter 248 The fastest way to achieve a prosperous population

Not to mention that the official rank is overwhelming, but Huo Yunchao has never been ashamed of the Xu family's son-in-law. He was afraid that Huo Yunchao would be ridiculed and ridiculed by the prefect, so he could not restrain his anger and spoke arrogantly, offending the prefect...

As Huo Yunchao's brother-in-law, Zheng Shaoxuan took the initiative to take the responsibility of helping his brother-in-law avoid risks and chatted with the prefect.

In comparison, Zheng Shaoxuan was not good at dealing with a straightforward person like County Magistrate Chen, but he was very good at talking to someone as temperamental as the Magistrate.

The purpose of the magistrate's move was to test Huo Yunchao's tolerance for others. If he could not tolerate even close confidants and friends, then no matter how great Huo Yunchao's contribution was, he would not let Huo Yunchao become the object of support of the Chen family.

All in all, as long as Huo Yunchao cannot pass the test of being a prefect, his life trajectory will undergo major changes.

In a person's life, there are very few opportunities to change his destiny.

Or, when such an opportunity that can change our destiny comes, we know nothing about it and miss the opportunity without realizing it.

Therefore, every opportunity to change your destiny is extremely precious.

At this moment, Huo Yunchao didn't realize this. What he wanted was not to get on the Chen family's ship and get the full support of the Chen family, but just to get a real reward of silver from the prefect.

That's right, Huo Yunchao found that he was short of both money and people. He wanted to convert all the money given to him by the prefect and County Magistrate Chen into real benefits. He even thought of going to a dental shop to buy a man and a woman signed to death. The idea of ​​a contracted servant.

Especially after Xu Ning became pregnant, Huo Yunchao cherished her and didn't want her to get pregnant at all.

He worked hard in the fields and took care of the chores at home and outside.

As for spending money to ask Aunt Ma and others for help, Huo Yunchao also considered it, but after much thought, he still felt that it would be more appropriate to buy a personal maid. It would be better to buy a couple and sign a living contract.

When the prefect was having a lively chat with Zheng Shaoxuan, Huo Yunchao's mind was filled with things related to Xu Ning. He could tell that the prefect looked down on his son-in-law.

Huo Yunchao didn't take it seriously at all. It wasn't the first day that he was despised as a son-in-law. He was just replaced by a high-ranking magistrate, that's all.

Huo Yunchao was broad-minded and open-minded, and he did not have the slightest thought that he shouldn't have because of Zheng Shaoxuan's favor with the prefect.

Magistrate Chen and the master watched with cold eyes, secretly observing Huo Yunchao's every move.

Magistrate Chen quickly determined that Huo Yunchao didn't mind the prefect's "preference" for Zheng Shaoxuan at all. He didn't know whether to say that Huo Yunchao was magnanimous or stupid.

Not only did the master not think that Huo Yunchao was stupid, but he actually liked Huo Yunchao even more. He likes to deal with Huo Yunchao, who is so open-minded in his conduct and work, so that he can save worry and trouble.

When the magistrate saw that Huo Yunchao's reaction was consistent and did not show even a hint of envy, jealousy or hatred towards Zheng Shaoxuan, he pursed his lips and no longer deliberately asked Zheng Shaoxuan to talk.

The prefect called his name again: "Huo Yunchao, what do the other two new grain varieties you mentioned look like? Do you have any drawings?"

"Back to the magistrate, the drawings of three new grain varieties have been completed with the strong support of the county magistrate." Huo Yunchao once again used practical actions to demonstrate his magnanimity.

Your Majesty, the Prefect

He looked at County Magistrate Chen and said, "Nephew, where are the drawings now?"

The master hurriedly handed over the color drawings he carried with him to the prefect for review.

"Colorful?"

Even though he is as well-informed as the prefect, he is shocked when he sees the color pictures. The pigments used to draw the color pictures are hard-won and more expensive than gold!

Magistrate Chen chuckled and said: "Uncle, I suffered from the disadvantage of not knowing the goods, and almost regarded the new grain seeds as weeds. So I specially asked Yun Chao to describe the three new grain seeds, and then painted them with paint. By truly restoring them, more people will be able to recognize the three new grain varieties. Kill two birds with one stone."

The prefect nodded, took out the color picture of sweet potatoes and looked at it over and over again. After reading it, he asked Huo Yunchao: "Did the lost travel notes say where potatoes and corn probably grew in the Dasheng Dynasty?"

Huo Yunchao continued his words that were 90% true and 10% false: "Back to the magistrate, I only vaguely remember that it is in a place where Fan people often come and go. There may be some harvest in the villages near the coast."

He never felt that he was special. Even though he came through time and space, he still didn't think that he was the "chosen one".

There are many people who are more handsome, capable, and sweet-tongued than him. He is like a grain of sand on the beach, an ordinary existence.

Therefore, Huo Yunchao never thinks too highly of himself. He prefers to seek cooperation and unite more people to work together for the same goal, rather than fighting alone and being an uncrowned king.

Such a strong man is too lonely. Huo Yunchao just wants to live an ordinary life like a wife and children, with clothes, clothes and food, and he can spend the rest of his life in peace and joy.

The prefect nodded.

, and asked his servants to take Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan to freshen up and change clothes, while he invited County Magistrate Chen and Master to go to the study.

With the careful care of his servants, Huo Yunchao increasingly wanted to buy someone to take care of Xu Ning. As for the head tax of two more servants every year, he was confident that he could afford it.

The magistrate obviously had no intention of summoning Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan again. He helped them wash themselves and brought them delicious meals, saying that they should have a good rest.

Zheng Shaoxuan is old-fashioned and fastidious, and one of his codes of conduct is "not talking when eating or sleeping".

Huo Yunchao told a story at the dinner table that he wanted to go to Yixing to buy slaves and bring them back to add more people to help Xu Ning and Xu Butcher share the work at home and outside the house.

Zheng Shaoxuan was inspired by Huo Yunchao, and his blocked thoughts suddenly opened up: Yes, why did he only think about having more children with Lin Xiaocao to make the family lively, instead of thinking about going to the tooth shop to buy a death deed? Where are the servants?

Just like that, when the prefect and County Magistrate Chen were studying how to arrange the futures of Zheng Shaoxuan and Huo Yunchao, the two people were planning to use magical operations to instantly achieve their life goal of "population prosperity".

The next morning, Zheng Shaoxuan and Huo Yunchao were led by servants to the magistrate and received genuine one hundred taels of silver notes and an oxcart full of iron farm tools.

The magistrate changed his arrogance from yesterday and smiled more when talking to Huo Yunchao, looking much more amiable and approachable.

After bidding farewell to the magistrate, County Magistrate Chen asked casually: "Yun Chao, Shaoxuan, it's a rare trip to the capital for you, is there anything you want to buy?"

While talking, Magistrate Chen took out the silver ingots and banknotes from his pocket: "Here, just take them.

Go and spend it, don't leave a penny to me! This is an order! "

Huo Yunchao said bluntly: "Thank you for the reward, sir. Yunchao wants to go to Yaxing to buy servants to share the household chores for my wife."

Zheng Shaoxuan followed closely and said that he also had this plan.

County Magistrate Chen knew the family backgrounds of these two people a long time ago. He did not stop them and reminded them: "The one who signed the death contract is easier to handle."
