Chapter 855 858. Thoughts
Gu Wenheng, "The Emperor suddenly abdicated because of the new Emperor's shortcoming.
If I'm not mistaken, the retired emperor wanted to give the new emperor a chance, letting him struggle for a while. At least with him in charge of the rear, there would be no chaos.
This is also an opportunity to hone your skills. Just wait and see, there will be a lot of excitement to watch next."
Jin Qianqian, "...So even though he abdicated, the real power has not been handed over." Oh, what's going on, pushing the new emperor to that position, but not being able to take power, is this really appropriate?
However, Jin Qianqian knew that she had no talent for playing political games, and at most she could just treat it as gossip.
But Gu Wenheng would be involved in it at any time. Although he seemed to be free, he was actually very busy.

The cornfield given to Gu Bencan to manage grew stronger and stronger under their careful care.
For this new thing, not only Gu Bencan who had just taken over, but even the old farmers had no experience to speak of.
Everyone can only grope around and tend to the crops according to the planting methods of ordinary crops.
Jin Qianqian did have various chapters on planting available for reference, but she had no excuse to take them out, so she could only try indirectly, use several planting methods separately, and then make detailed records.
Seeing the corn ears coming out, the person Gu Wenheng sent to watch had not responded yet. Jin Qianqian asked after dinner, "Didn't we leak the news before? Why haven't you responded yet?"
Gu Wenheng stroked his beard and said, "The struggle in the court has just begun, and no one can care about our little matter.
Don't worry, they will notice it in time."
The court was bustling with activity. Some were loyal to the retired emperor, some supported the new emperor, and even worse, some had other ideas.
Gu Wenheng sometimes wondered why Hua Shunming had created such a mess.
Is it because he is getting old? Is it because he loves power?
Hua Shunming: “…” He’s almost lying down, and he still has power.
Jin Qianqian was puzzled, "Are you still arguing over those seats?"
In the absence of the three ministers, each party wants to place their own people, and they are fighting for it.
But isn't this time too long?
Gu Wenheng's confidence for the year, "It's almost there, it shouldn't delay our harvest."
Jin Qianqian, "Fortunately, we haven't been in Beijing during this period, otherwise it would be really difficult."
Gu Wenheng is now at home with Ding You, but he still receives a constant stream of letters, and often stays in the study until midnight to deal with them.
Gu Wenheng: "..." So we should still thank Gu Dashi...
"Dad, Mom," Gu Bencan shouted as he ran in, "the ears of corn have sprouted. I really succeeded in planting them."
Although I don't know what he is planting now, the farmers said that the growth of ears means it will be harvested soon.
He had seen seeds before, but he didn’t know whether the fruits would be the same seeds as before?
My mother said this was a special item. The people who got the seeds said it was edible, but because there were few seeds, they had never tried it.
Occasionally I heard Nian talk about this thing being corn, but I don’t know if it tastes like rice.
Get rid of the thoughts in your mind and don’t think about how to eat first, but instead think about how to take care of these lands?
He had taken care of these since they were little seedlings, putting all his heart and soul into them.
Even the wild animals found in the outer traps failed to arouse his interest.
They are still in mourning, so he just took a look at the wild animals and left them to other people in the village to deal with.
"Didn't we see Changsui a few days ago?" Jin Qianqian stood up and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "You came all the way back just for such a small matter?"
"Mom, that's different," Gu Bencan said excitedly, "Before there were only two or three ears, but now nearly 80% of them have grown ears. I just don't know when we can harvest them?"
Jin Qianqian glanced at Gu Wenheng, touched her nose and said, "I don't know about this either, why don't you ask other people in the village?"
Gu Bencan looked as if he knew it was just as he expected. "I knew my parents didn't know either. I asked a few old farmers and they all guessed that we have to wait until the ears are formed and the grain is filled before we can harvest it. However, they have never grown this kind of crop before, so we can only wait and see.
Mother, you don't know, I thought I was paying enough attention, but I didn't expect that when they saw the ears of grain, those old farmers almost built a hut on the mountain and said they would keep an eye on it all the time."
Jin Qianqian, "You just let them do what they want?"
"How can that be possible?" Gu Bencan quickly shook his head and said, "There are so many wild animals in the mountains. Even though we have set up traps with stakes, it is still very dangerous.
We also found a wild boar in the trap today, and we don’t know if there are other dangerous wild animals, but we dare not let them stay there.”
Jin Qianqian, "There are wild boars? It seems that these animals are really talented in finding food. They are already thinking about it before the fruits have even ripened.
You go to the mountains every day these days, remember to bring people with you, don't be careless."
Jin Qianqian knew that the two children needed to be kept by their side, but she couldn't help but give them a few more words of advice.
Gu Bencan, "I know. I have also told the other brothers to wait for me when they go up the mountain."
He has armed guards around him, so if he really encounters any danger, he can escape.
Gu Wenheng then spoke up, "Remember to record the changes every day, so that you can gain experience next time you continue planting."
"Dad, I take notes every day. Now we go up there twice a day and measure it with a ruler." Compared to a lot of homework, Gu Bencan likes this task more and is more attentive.
Gu Wenheng nodded with satisfaction, "Remember to sort it out every day and show it to me after the harvest."
Gu Wenheng looked at Gu Bencan thoughtfully, and then asked, "Which do you think is more attractive to you, this kind of land or doing business?"
"Is there any difference?" Gu Bencan tilted his head and looked at him, "I think both have their own fun. I can enjoy a free and easy life. Although it is a bit hard and tiring, it makes me feel fulfilled."
Gu Wenheng, "You really don't know the sufferings of the world. If your parents weren't here to help you, do you think the people down there would have such an easy life?
I remember I took you out to see it before, but it seems you still didn’t really appreciate it.”
Yes, even when they go to the villages, the people will show them their best side, and the daily trivialities and troubles will never appear in front of them.
Because of his existence, the tribesmen and villagers in Gaoling Village live a more prosperous life. No wonder this kid thinks it is a kind of enjoyment.
I've had enough of the good days. I still haven't been able to fully appreciate the rural life, even though it's fun.
Jin Qianqian guessed what he was thinking at a glance, walked over to stand beside him, and said with a smile, "This is already very good. You can't really just leave him in the ravine and let him fend for himself!"
Gu Wenheng, "..." This daughter-in-law is my biological daughter-in-law, and she guessed what I was thinking in an instant.
