Chapter 489 Let’s speak human language, okay?
Jiang Wenhao was just stunned for a moment and nodded:
"That's no problem. Just let me send the manuscript back to the capital. And you have to give me a piece of land. It doesn't have to be too big, just a few acres will do.
I have so many seeds here, I have to observe and record them one by one. Also..."
…
Listening to Jiang Wenhao's chatter, Lin Mo said, "..."
She was wrong.
Is she crazy or something else, and actually asked him to stay here for three years?
Looking at his expression, it's clear that he wishes it were just like this.
Lin Mo laughed dryly, "Haha, Lord Jiang, I was just joking. I think you'd better return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Also, how about I prepare a carriage for you and load the seeds for you? And arrange a few people to protect you along the way?"
She suddenly felt that Jiang Wenhao's presence would definitely be a nuisance.
It's better to get rid of troubles as soon as possible.
Jiang Wenhao was stunned when he heard this. After coming to his senses, he shouted anxiously:
"You, you can't do this, you are going back on your word.
You can’t be a man who doesn’t keep his word, otherwise who will believe you in the future?”
Lin Mo, “…”
So, this is ready to rely on myself.
The question is, why does he want to rely on it?
For the secret here, or something else?
As if he saw the scrutiny in Lin Mo's eyes, Jiang Wenhao spread his hands:
"I won't pretend anymore."
As he spoke, he coughed lightly and pretended to be calm:
“There are many things here that I have never seen outside. I want to stay here to learn and then help others.
For example, the waterwheel, the canal, and the planting method.
You know, these things are very useful to the people, especially this waterwheel.
In some places with high terrain and water sources, it can be of great help to the people.
If used well, the people will have much better harvests, and with better harvests, they will have less hunger."
Looking at his silly look, Lin Mo didn't know what to say.
She was actually quite envious of a man in his early forties who still looked so innocent.
But, it's too much.
Could the person who can hold the position of Minister of Agriculture be a simple person?
Also, regardless of whether the harvest was good or not, the people still could not get enough to eat because of the heavy taxes.
After paying taxes and rent, the people work hard for a year and have little left.
The benefit of a good harvest is that you can have a full meal during the harvest. At other times, you are lucky enough not to be hungry.
Lin Mo shook his head, "Lord Jiang is really concerned about the country and the people, which is really admirable.
I can have someone give you the drawings for all the things you want to know, so there is no need to stay here just for these things.
A great man like Lord Jiang should travel all over the world to help the people solve their problems."
Jiang Wenhao's smile froze on his face. Why didn't she play according to the rules?
Shouldn't she have said excitedly, "Okay, you can stay as long as you want and study it slowly"?
Jiang Wenhao's face suddenly fell, and he looked depressed. "Actually, I'm not that great. I... I actually have some selfish motives."
When talking about the latter part, Jiang Wenhao became a little shy.
Seeing Lin Mo looking at him with a half-smile, he turned his head awkwardly to look in other directions, with a hint of embarrassment on his face:
"I'm running away from my marriage!"
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky with a look of regret on his face.
He is almost fifty years old, and his parents are still arranging to marry him off to a teenage girl. Isn't this insulting?
It really came true for them, and they didn’t even have to go out and see anyone.
As soon as he goes out, people will see him and ask him how his wife is. How should he answer?
Lin Mo couldn't hold back her expression any longer and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
No wonder he would rather stay outside than go back, there turns out to be this reason.
But she remembered that this Minister of Agriculture was indeed not married.
Haha, it's indeed rare for someone to be unmarried at his age.
Seeing that he was a little angry, Lin Mo coughed lightly and suppressed a smile:
"Master Jiang, running away is not a long-term solution. At your age, it is indeed time for you to get married and start a family so that your parents can rest assured.
As the ancients said, "Start a family and build a career..."
"Stop!" Jiang Wenhao interrupted him with a headache and shook his head:
"Let's speak human language, okay?
I've heard this a lot, so I don't need to repeat it to you."
Jiang Wenhao said he was under a lot of pressure.
If he really listened to it, he would probably go bald.
Lin Mo suppressed a smile, "Ahem, Lord Jiang, tell me honestly, is there something wrong with you? Otherwise, why wouldn't you get married? Don't tell me you're never going to get married in this life."
If this is true, his parents will be worried to death.
Jiang Wenhao nodded. "I don't have any plans to get married. I'm alone, traveling all over the country, and that's fine."
"Love hurt? You've been hurt by someone, so you don't want to get married?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
Jiang Wenhao was a little embarrassed by her question. He didn't answer the question. Instead, he rubbed his forehead with his hand and sighed, "I'm not feeling well today. I need to go back and rest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately raised his foot and walked quickly forward.
There is a feeling of fleeing in panic.
There was always a smile on Lin Mo's lips, and she watched Jiang Wenhao's figure walking further and further away with a faint look in her eyes.
When truth is false, falsehood is true!
Jiang Wenhao is a smart man. The truth and falsehood in what he said are actually more real.
"Young Madam." Xu Pinggui stepped forward:
"Jiang Wenhao hasn't noticed anything unusual these past few days. Every day he's either wandering around Yuancheng or burrowing into the ground. Everything seems normal to him, and he hasn't noticed anything wrong."
Lin Mo shook his head, "He didn't move.
But what about the Shen family? "
Lin Mo looked at Xu Pinggui, "Jiang Wenhao wouldn't come here for no reason."
It is true that he did not get married, but why did he not get married?
Lin Mo's lips curled up in sarcasm. She just heard some rumors. Although they were unfounded, they were not unbelievable.
I heard that when he was young, he was in love with a girl, but in the end her love was taken away from him, and Jiang Wenhao has been alone since then.
She was very curious about the identity of this woman with whom he was in love.
Xu Pinggui's face darkened and he nodded:
"I'll find out now."
After arriving in Beijia Village, the Shen family was so quiet that they subconsciously ignored them.
Now that I think about it, it’s probably not that simple.
After Xu Pinggui strode away, Lin Mo turned around and looked at the children in front of him who were turning over corn kernels in the sun, and chuckled:
"Do you want to eat sweet cornbread tonight? Plenty of it, the kind that's enough to fill you up."
As soon as she finished speaking, several children immediately showed their greedy expressions and nodded vigorously at the same time:
"I want to, can I?"
"Young Madam, can you put some meat in it? The buns will be more fragrant with meat."
…
Several aunties who were threshing corn cobs nearby quickly shouted to their children to pay attention to the rules and not talk nonsense.
Lin Mo smiled, "This isn't some place, there's no need for so many rules, as long as they're happy.
Besides, we have a great harvest today, so what’s wrong with having a good meal?
We've worked so hard for so long, shouldn't we celebrate properly? "
At this point, Lin Mo paused:
"Tonight, there are plenty of meat buns and bone soup. I'll have Uncle Peng bring you some meat later.
You work all day, and then you have to work hard making dumplings at night."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone shook their heads and shouted:
"Young Madam, it's not hard, not hard at all."
"That's right, if you treat us to buns every day, I'll come over and make them for you every day."
"Haha, greedy!"
…
Lin Mo chatted with them for a while with a smile on her face before leaving.
As soon as she returned, she asked Xu Dapeng to kill a pig.
Half of the head was sent over, and then all the bones were sent over to them to make soup, and the remaining meat was given to Qin Ma and the others to pickle and make bacon.
She suddenly wanted to eat bacon.
That night, the aroma of meat from Yuancheng wafted far away.
Those who left work late were also given a corn bag.
The yellow buns opened everyone's eyes.
With the delicious steamed buns and bone soup with meat, everyone happily celebrated the harvest year.
Jiang Wenhao stood on the second floor of the inn, leaning against the window and watching the scene quietly.
If the lives of ordinary people were like the following, they would be very happy.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"master!"
"Come in!" Jiang Wenhao changed his stance.
The one who came in was Jiang Qiao.
As he came in, the air was filled with the same fragrance as below.
"Sir, this was just delivered by the Xu family's housekeeper."
Jiang Qiao put the tray in his hand on the table.
There was a plate of four yellow buns on the tray.
There is also a small earthenware jar. When the lid is opened and the heat dissipates, the white bone soup comes into view.
Jiang Wenhao didn't hesitate and just sat down, picked up a bun and started eating.
This corn bun tastes different from ordinary buns.
The taste is a bit rough, but it has a sweet taste, which is good.
Jiang Wenhao ate two in one breath, and then he realized that his stomach was already about 50% full. After drinking some soup, he didn't want to drink anymore.
This cornbread is filling and it seems that you won’t feel hungry easily after eating it.
Unlike buns made of flour, after eating two, it feels like you haven’t eaten anything at all, and you get hungry quickly.
And from what I have learned in the past few days, this corn is easy to grow and care for, and has a high yield. It seems to be very suitable for promotion and cultivation.
Once the promotion is successful, it will be a great achievement.
Seeing Jiang Wenhao in deep thought, Jiang Qiao said cautiously, "Sir, people from the Shen family have been sending messages asking to see you. Do you want to meet with you?"
Jiang Wenhao shook his head, "No!"
After saying that, he stood up and looked out the window. These people in the Xu family are not stupid.
Who knows how many people are secretly watching his every move?
The Shen family...
Jiang Wenhao smiled silently.
A useless chess piece!
It doesn’t matter if we don’t meet.
If I stay here, I might gain something greater.
