Chapter 43 Song Xi returns to Beijing

A few days later, County Magistrate Li Qian officially began to promote new agricultural tools, ecological fertilizers, potatoes and pressurized water wells.

With the joint cooperation of several neighboring county governments, the four things that benefited the people quickly became popular in all counties under the jurisdiction of Bianliang Prefecture.

In addition to Lenong Trading Company, ordinary people can also purchase or customize farm tools and water well pressure equipment at the nearest blacksmith or carpenter shop. Yu Yalan even teaches professional well diggers across the county how to install pressure wells for free to promote pressure wells.

The successful spread of water wells.

In the process of promoting high-yielding grain potatoes and ecological fertilizers, Li Qian distributed 500 kilograms of seeds and 300 kilograms of chemical fertilizers equally to the five county governments in Bianliang Prefecture. Nearby farmers or landowners could receive dozens of kilograms for free and take them home.

After trial planting and trials, the people were dubious about the potato yield of 1,000 kilograms per acre at first, but there were not many people willing to try, resulting in insufficient distribution of grain seeds and fertilizers. Yu Yalan could only add another 800 kilograms of grain seeds and 300 kilograms of fertilizers.

Provided to county magistrates for promotion.

The government's promotion of popularization was very effective. The four things that benefited the people soon became famous in Bianliang. Even the people from the neighboring state capital came here to learn from them. Yu Yalan provided farm tools and water well presses to all the blacksmiths and carpenters who came to learn as usual.

An atlas is made, and those who are willing to try growing potatoes will also be given a few kilograms of grain seeds as appropriate after testing their character with a soul-reading bracelet.

The Yu family's benevolence and charity gradually became famous throughout the government as they promoted things that benefited the people. As a result, the reputation of the Yu family's siblings rose to a higher level. The people were grateful for the Yu family's efforts and sometimes gave away some of their own property.

In return, the siblings would usually accept the eggs and vegetables with a smile, and then tell them not to give any more gifts. Their friendly and unrequited attitude made many people feel good about them.

After the promotion operation was a complete success, County Magistrate Li Qian seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Governor, and wanted to follow the previous method to promote various local specialties of Xianping County to help people improve their income and living standards.

After learning about it, Yu Yalan put forward the suggestion of holding a trade fair and gave Li Qian a relevant planning document detailing the process of organizing the trade fair.

As if Li Qian had found a treasure, he soon joined forces with several neighboring counties to hold a local product exhibition, bringing together the local products from the counties and villages and towns under their respective jurisdictions for display and promotion.

Dafeng white sugar and Bailu tofu took advantage of the situation and quickly became popular all over the province. Not only did the villagers of the two villages make a lot of money, but also various pastries and sauces in Xianping County became very popular.

, there has even been a situation where supply exceeds demand.

In just half a month, the economic development level of Xianping County has changed by leaps and bounds. County Magistrate Li Qian smiles every day and deeply understands the significance and sense of accomplishment of delegating to local officials. He has been helping

His Song Xi and Yu Yalan were even more grateful.

After the trade fair, the Yu siblings, Song Xi, Li Qian and others had a dinner together at the Song family to celebrate.

During the banquet, everyone was chatting and laughing, changing glasses and having a very pleasant time.

Halfway through the banquet, Song Xi took out a box of storybooks collected from the capital and gave them to Yu Hongxuan.

"This is the storybook that I promised you before. It also includes all the works of your favorite Jinling Xiaoxiaosheng and Lulin Yelao."

Yu Hongxuan was overjoyed. He hugged the book box and began to praise Song Xi: "Oh! Brother Song is indeed my confidant! This gift is sent to my heart! Brother Song is indeed the most beautiful man in Xianping, extremely intelligent.

Pick one from a million, you are unparalleled in your literary skills and martial arts, you are handsome and unrestrained, you have jade trees facing the wind, your weapons are majestic... all kinds of beautiful words cannot describe you!"

Song Xi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. He didn't expect that a box of scripts could win over the proud and arrogant Doctor Yu, but his sharp tongue was really hard to bear.

Yu Yalan saw her brother smiling happily after receiving the gift, and she felt a little bit sour in her heart for some reason. She immediately threatened him jokingly and said, "I didn't expect that after one box was confiscated, you actually got another box. If you miss the mark next time, you will be fined again."

It’s capital!”

Yu Hongxuan was afraid that his sister would be eyeing his collection again, so he immediately begged for mercy: "Oh! My dear, beautiful, ice-snow and smart sister! Let me go. The world without novels is so boring, pale, and lonely.

It’s so empty! It’s like the world has lost all its fun and color!”

Everyone laughed and was very interested in the bickering between the siblings.

Song Xi then took out a small box of books and handed them to Yu Yalan, smiling fondly: "This box is for you. It contains the geography of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the resumes of Yuzhou provincial officials and capital officials.

I hope it can be helpful to you."

Yu Yalan thanked her with surprise on her face. She had no idea that she would also receive a gift, and it was something she had accidentally mentioned during a chat with Song Xi before. This shows how attentive he is to his close friend.

In comparison, she doesn't seem to be doing a good job. Should she give something in return?

Secret books and elixirs have been given away, and vegetables and fruits from space have long become a New Year gift, so they are not considered precious.

Why don't you try the clothes, shoes, socks, or accessories that your brother mentioned?

But after a moment of hesitation, she gave up on this impractical gift.

It can be seen that the resumes and relationships of officials were collected and written by Song Xi herself. She could not respond casually to such a thoughtful gift.

Yu Yalan was racking her brains to think of a suitable return gift, but Yu Hongxuan smiled teasingly and pointed Song Xi with his finger, complaining in a low voice: "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to Mo are black. You are being manipulated by me."

Under the influence of my sister, I started to become pragmatic in giving gifts."

Several people were laughing and chatting, enjoying delicious food, and the atmosphere was joyful and harmonious.

At this moment, Jian Dong suddenly walked quickly from the door. After handing over an urgent letter, he leaned over and whispered in Song Xi's ear to report: "Master, the third young master has caused a big disaster, and the old lady has urgently summoned him back to the capital."

Song Xi frowned, and after reading the letter quickly, his face suddenly darkened.

"But what's the emergency?" Seeing his displeasure, Yu Yalan asked worriedly.

Song Xi raised a reassuring smile and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just something urgent at home that requires me to return to Beijing. Don't worry, I can handle it."

Such a sudden change occurred, and everyone could only end the banquet hastily, pack up and prepare to say goodbye to those who were traveling far away.

Song Xi hurriedly arranged for Dao Hong to stay in Xianping with the Dao group of secret guards, and ordered them to protect the safety of the Yu siblings, contact the capital at any time to report the situation, and pay close attention to Hong Yunjie's movements.

Then she told Yu Yalan to go to Dao Hong or Li Qian when encountering difficulties, and never bear them alone to avoid falling into the scheme of the thieves.

After saying goodbye reluctantly, Song Xi led Jiandong and others to leave Xianping at high speed.
