When Ye Lao Er came back from his trip, more than a dozen people from Prince Rui's Mansion followed him the next day.
This matter quickly spread in the village, and then spread to other surrounding villages and towns with Rongxi Village as the center.
Old Master Zhan was originally upset about Ye Lao Er not delivering the letter, but now he was overjoyed when he saw that Prince Rui not only arranged for someone who knew how to farm to come, but also sent eight guards.
"That's good now. I finally don't have to worry about someone doing something bad in secret."
Originally, Mr. Zhan had already moved his bedding roll to the edge of the field.
Now the eight guards were divided into groups of two, taking turns on duty day and night, which completely resolved his worries.
The villagers had never seen such a scene before.
Not to mention the village, such a thing has never happened in the entire Fengle County.
When Chai Zhiming heard the news, he thought he had neglected Mr. Zhan, so he rushed over with the yamen runners that afternoon.
"Mr. Zhan, I'm so sorry. I should have left a few people to help you before." As soon as Chai Zhiming arrived at the Ye family, he quickly grabbed Mr. Zhan's hand and repeatedly criticized himself.
After reviewing himself, he turned to Ye Lao Er who was standing beside him and said, "Didn't I tell you before that if Mr. Zhan needs anything or has any difficulties, he can just come to the county government office and report to me! How did you even alarm Prince Rui's mansion?"
As soon as Chai Zhiming entered the room, he started talking like a machine gun, and Mr. Zhan couldn't get a word in.
Now that he finally had a chance, he quickly said, "I don't have that much face. I can invite people from Prince Rui's Mansion. It's thanks to the relationship between the Ye family and Prince Rui's Mansion."
After hearing this, Chai Zhiming was shocked and turned to look at Ye Laoer.
Looking at his tanned face, he really doesn't look like someone who has such ability!
Before, I only heard that the Ye family had some relationship with the Qin family in the capital. How come they have a relationship with Prince Rui's Mansion after just a few days?
Even if Princess Rui and Madam Qin are sisters, the speed at which the Ye family makes friends with the powerful and influential is truly shocking!
Although Chai Zhiming couldn't figure out the ins and outs of this, he also knew how he should treat the Ye family.
Thinking of this, Chai Zhiming asked in an even more friendly tone, "Second Brother Ye, Master Zhan, where is the person from the palace now? Since I'm here, it's best for me to pay them a visit in person."
"Master Chai, please don't be so polite. Just call me Ye Lao Er." Ye Lao Er felt uncomfortable when Chai Zhiming called him that. "They went straight to the fields when they arrived, and they haven't come back yet!"
"Huh? Didn't you have lunch?"
Chai Zhiming thought, it was already afternoon, if he delayed any longer he would have to have dinner.
Isn’t this too negligent of the Ye family?
Thinking of this, Chai Zhiming quickly said, "Then I'll go take a look at the fields too."
It’s not that Chai Zhiming doesn’t care about farming, but he is not as knowledgeable as Mr. Zhan.
He knew that the Ye family's crops grew well, but he didn't know to what extent.
Because Mr. Zhan attached great importance to him before, he had also imagined that if he could really win the title of King of Grain, he would also get a lot of credit for free.
However, the growth and harvest of crops have a fixed time period and are not something that can be seen immediately.
Chai Zhiming quickly put this matter behind him.
So when he brought his men to the Ye family's land and saw the several people sent by Prince Rui, all of them soaking in the fields as if they had found a treasure and refusing to come out, Chai Zhiming was shocked again.
On the contrary, Mr. Zhan was particularly happy. He finally met someone who was as knowledgeable and passionate about this as he was.
So Mr. Zhan immediately went into the ground and started discussing with those people.
Old Master Zhan knows all about the Ye family's crops. He has kept detailed records of every stage and can talk about them like he knows them all by heart.
There were five people in total sent here by Prince Rui.
Among them, Zhao Chengwei, the oldest and most experienced, is the person in charge, and the remaining two older people are Gao Lihong and Dulian.
There were also two young men, Yang Yufei and Hu Ziyang, who were Zhao Chengwei's apprentices, and were brought here this time.
They received a temporary order from Prince Rui last night, packed up their things, and set off in a hurry early this morning.
On the way, Yang Yufei was still muttering to Hu Ziyang, and he didn't think he would gain anything from this trip to Rongxi Village.
"Isn't the rice we planted on the farm growing well enough this year? I don't know who's lies the prince has believed, but he actually wants us to go to such a remote place to take care of other people's crops."
Yang Yufei was not dissatisfied with Prince Rui's arrangement. The main problem was that he was suddenly asked to abandon the crops he had been taking care of for several months, and then told him that other people's crops were growing better, so he went to help and learn.
As a young person, it is inevitable to feel dissatisfied in your heart.
Hu Ziyang is two years older than him, a little more stable, and speaks less directly.
"Didn't Master say that we should just go over and take a look first?
“If it’s really as powerful as the prince said, we should stay and study it.
"But if it's not as good as the rice we grow ourselves, then we'll naturally go home. What's the point of staying here?"
"Brother, do you really believe what Master said?" Yang Yufei leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Didn't you see those people on horseback outside?
“Those are the guards of Prince Rui’s palace!
“Even they were sent to Rongxi Village, which shows how much the prince values that place.
"I think it's easy for us to go there this time, but it will be difficult to go back."
Although the other three people did not say everything like the two young people, they actually had a lot of ideas in their minds.
So when he arrived at Rongxi Village, Zhao Chengwei didn't even bother to eat and immediately asked to see the crops in the fields.
The other people also had their own thoughts and echoed each other.
Ye Laoer had no choice but to take them all to the field first.
When they saw the Ye family’s crops, the five of them were stunned.
"Is this true?" Yang Yufei exclaimed in surprise, rubbing his eyes continuously, wondering if he was hallucinating.
Zhao Chengwei didn't even care about being calm, and was the first to rush into the Ye family's farmland. Looking at the crops that had already sprouted ears, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a stunning beauty.
So the five people didn't even feel hungry, and just stayed in the fields, refusing to come out.
When Chai Zhiming saw this, he couldn't help but whisper to Ye Laoer, "Are your crops really that good?"
Ye Lao Er was also a little surprised and scratched his head, saying, "I just found out about this too!"
