February is spring. The ice and snow on the mountain melted silently overnight. The gurgling water flowed from high to low. The water in the stream began to flow happily without knowing when. The fish in the water jumped out of the water, formed a curved arc, and fell back into the water. The ice on the river surface broke, and the broken floating ice was washed away piece by piece by the rushing water. The water on the mountain flowed to the Fenshui River, and the water on the river surface rose.

A spring thunder sounded, and with a crackling sound, it rained.

Fortunately, as soon as the sky changed, they quickly took back all the clothes that were drying outside the house, and the crackling raindrops came.

"The rain is late this year." The sound of rain was heard outside. The snow was melting and the weather was particularly cold. They tried to stay in the house instead of going out. Qi Wanfeng listened to her husband and replied, "That's right. In previous years, it rained after the New Year, but this year it has been late. It's good that it is raining now, and we can plant crops soon.

This year, the rain was late in February, and they were afraid that it would continue to be dry like last year, and life would be difficult. It will rain today and we can plant crops, so we have hope. With crops, we don't have to worry. Hungry. After the rain, wild vegetables in the fields outside grow. You can pick a few and cook them at home. Even if they are not good, it is still a meal.

In Fenshui, there are mountains and water. As long as people are hardworking and willing to work hard, they will not starve to death.

When it rained, the people in the north cheered. God did not kill them this day. The people were moved to tears and hoped that this year would have good weather and a good harvest. The emperor issued a new decree after he ascended the throne, exempting them from land tax for three years. At that time, all the grain grown on the land would be theirs. Three years would mean a lot of grain.

The people had hope in their hearts, and they looked more lively.

As soon as it rained, people who had been staying at home for the whole winter put on thick clothes and ran out to talk to their acquaintances about farming, and then went to the fields to Take a look at your own land.

Cao Gang is no longer the village chief of Caojia Village, but as soon as he came back, Cao Gui came and said that he wanted to return the position of village chief to Cao Gang, which should have been his. Cao Gang looked at him coldly, and the rough man shrank his neck and dared not say a word, so Cao Gui was still the village chief of Caojia Village. Seeing Cao Gui like that, Cao Xiangnan comforted him, "You can be the village chief, you are doing well in this position. "

A leader can be a person with great ability or a mediocre person with no outstanding ability, but without exception, they are able to accept the advice of people around them and can absorb meaningful and good things for their own use. The village chief is doing things for the villagers. If he can do good things, he is a good village chief.

After the rain, Cao Gui and Sun Yanmiao and their group came to them, and even Li Zheng came with them.

Everyone discussed the affairs of the village together, and the rice seedlings in the field were to be planted at this time last year. Cao Xiangnan had already started growing vegetables with the villagers, but this year there were so many guests at home that he had forgotten about growing vegetables. It was not until Xiangzi asked his father if he wanted to grow vegetables that Cao Xiangnan remembered it. He asked Zhounian to come over, taught him how to grow seedlings, and asked him to lead the men there to grow vegetables. Some people

in the village did ask about growing vegetables, so he asked them to go to the workshop and find Zhounian to make reservations. Anyway, there is money to be made by everyone, so it's good. If we can plant two crops of vegetables before spring, spring is coming.

In the second half of last year, the winery began to reduce the production of wine. People were running out of food, so where would they get the food to make wine? Even if they made wine, no one would be willing to spend money to buy it. There were no boats running on the Fenshui River, so they couldn't transport the extra wine to other places. This was a losing business, so they might as well stop making wine and find something else for the men there to do. It's

still cold now, so the rice seedlings can't grow out. Li Zheng said that if they can grow the seedlings earlier, they can grow them earlier. Farming. Cao Xiangnan was clear-headed and knew what Li Zheng meant by mentioning this to him with such embarrassment. He handed over the method of raising seedlings to Li Zheng. In the future, this method of raising seedlings will be passed down from generation to generation in their Caojia Village, and it will also benefit future generations. "Seventh Master, let's not be polite. We are all family, right? It is my blessing to be able to do something for the people in the village and for future generations." Cao Xiangnan saw that Li Zheng was still hesitant to speak when he left. He put his arm around Li Zheng's shoulder and patted him, and just asked him to go back. Li Zheng responded with a "OK" and left with everyone.

Looking at Li Zheng, who was hunched over and went back with everyone, he found that Li Zheng, who had worked diligently for Caojia Village for half his life, was really old. After returning, Cao Xiangnan thought about what modern technology could be used here, and wrote them down one by one on the paper. The Eighth Prince saw what Cao Xiangnan wrote on the paper after thinking hard, hummed, and said, "You need to practice calligraphy, but this is good. Tell me what is written here.

" Cao Xiangnan blushed for a while, and when he saw that the prince asked him to explain, he immediately explained it in a torrent of words.

After listening, the Eighth Prince nodded and returned the paper to Cao Xiangnan.

Cao Xiangnan copied out another copy of what was written on this piece of paper, and sent one copy to Zhao County Magistrate and one copy to Li Zheng in the village.

When Zhao Xianzhi got the gift sent by Cao Xiangnan, he was delighted and immediately asked someone to send it to Fengdu to His Majesty. He knew the use of such a gift better than anyone else, so that His Majesty would not have to worry about the affairs of the north.

The people in the village were busy with spring sowing.

At this time, the emperor's edict was quietly delivered to Caojia Village. The palace attendant who had come all the way with the edict of the emperor shouted, "Cao Xiangnan, accept the edict."

Accept the edict? Cao Xiangnan was confused.

? Who is Cao Xiangnan? "The palace attendant asked again when he saw that no one accepted the edict.

"I am Cao Xiangnan." Cao Xiangnan said.

"Why don't you kneel down and receive the decree?" The palace servant glared at the man standing there without moving, but then immediately regained his good face, with a slightly stiff smile on his face. Steward De had warned them before they came. They were not stupid, and they knew that the person His Majesty was going to summon into the palace was not someone they could afford to offend. When the palace servant who announced the decree saw the Eighth Prince, he almost knelt down. No one told him that the Eighth Prince was also here?

What kind of place is this? In addition to the Eighth Prince, there is also Cao Jianjun hiding here.

The palace servant who announced the decree finally understood what Steward De meant by his warning, and immediately respected Steward De as his own father and mother in his heart, and he must respect him well when he returns.

"Cao Xiangnan, receive the imperial edict." To receive the imperial edict, one must kneel down. Cao Xiangnan had already greeted the emperor a hundred times in his heart. Why did you send someone to deliver the imperial edict, and made his whole family kneel down to receive the edict. The Eighth Prince glanced at the palace attendant who was reading the imperial edict. The palace attendant immediately wiped a cold sweat and immediately changed his words, saying, "I am here to deliver the imperial edict of His Majesty. You don't need to kneel down.

I'm sure His Majesty will not blame me if he knows.

The Eighth Prince is here. Does he dare to ask the Eighth Prince to kneel down? Even their Lord would call the Eighth Prince "Eighth Uncle" when he saw him. Is the Eighth Prince someone they dare not offend?

It's great that he doesn't have to kneel. Cao Xiangnan was happy in his heart. He still bowed and waited for the palace attendant to read the emperor's oral edict.

The emperor's general idea was to let him pack up his things immediately and follow the person who came to announce the decree to the palace to meet the emperor.

"Cao Xiangnan accepts the decree." The emperor wanted to summon him, so he couldn't run away. Cao Xiangnan had no choice but to accept the decree. He invited the palace attendant who came all the way to announce the decree to go into the house to rest and drink a cup of tea. The palace attendant who announced the decree politely declined. What a joke, there is an Eighth Prince and a General Cao here, how dare he pretend to be a master? Cao Xiangnan saw that they didn't dare to go in, and thought they were afraid of Cao Gang. After all, Cao Gang and his men had just fought for the emperor and returned, so it was inevitable that these palace attendants who worked in the palace had seen them. He had no choice but to say that he would send them to Yipinzhai to stay for two days, and they would set off for Yipinzhai after resting for two days.

"Okay, okay." The palace attendant was very satisfied that the matter went smoothly without any embarrassment.

When sending the person out, Cao Xiangnan also asked someone to give a ticket to the palace attendant who announced the decree, so that they would not be embarrassed on the way.

Two days later, their mighty team set out.

When the palace attendant arrived, Fang Ziye also received the oral order from the emperor, reminding him that it was time to go back.

It had been several months since he left, and Fang Ziye knew that it was time for him to go back, but... he sighed in his heart.

After the New Year, Cao Gang and his friends also had to go back to Fengdu. Their resignation letters had not yet been approved by the emperor, so they were only given a leave to go home and see their families. Naturally, they also secretly escorted Fang Ziye to Caojia Village.

Seeing that Cao Xiangnan was summoned to the palace by the emperor to meet him, Aning was worried about what would happen to Cao Xiangnan in Fengdu. Just then, the prince came to find him, and he knew that he could not run away with the child again. Caojia Village had his friends and Xuanxuan's friends. They had to start over again after leaving here and going somewhere else. They didn't know what would happen along the way, and they were afraid that Wanfeng and his family would be implicated.

"Prince, I will go back with you." Aning said.

The Eighth Prince was very happy to hear that his Ning'er was willing to go back with him. As long as his Ning'er was willing to go back with him, he could win back his Ning'er's heart. Cao Xiangnan simply took Wanfeng and several children with him. Seeing that Cao Xiangnan had brought everyone with him, Cao Gang saw his brother with tears in his eyes and agreed to take him to Fengdu, "We will come back after we are done." "

Okay." Sun Bailian finally burst into laughter.

So originally Cao Xiangnan was summoned to Fengdu alone to meet the emperor in the palace, but it became a journey to Fengdu for several families, and finally this group of people became a mighty team.
