Yan Mingzhe felt suffocated when he saw Fu Hongxuan's attentiveness.

In the end, he decided to turn a blind eye. Anyway, his target today was that yellow-haired girl, so it would be better if Fu Hongxuan was not there.

He stayed up all night last night and put together a training plan that will definitely transform that young girl.

But Yao Chuguang hasn't gotten up yet, and Yan Mingzhe can't do anything rude like disturbing someone's sweet dream.

He returned to his own courtyard and prepared to wait until Yao Chuguang woke up.

They waited until noon, and Fu Hongxuan came back after sending Zhou Mingrui off.

Yan Mingzhe stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked at Fu Hongxuan carrying the lunch box: "You only brought one?"

Looking at Fu Hongxuan's speechless look, he knew that he was sending breakfast to that yellow-haired girl, but he never thought that his master didn't eat either?

Fu Hongxuan really didn't expect that Yan Mingzhe hadn't eaten yet when he came to pick up Zhou Mingrui in the morning.

Yan Mingzhe had already washed up and was studying in the courtyard. Usually, the housekeeper would bring him food at this time.

Fu Hongxuan said to make amends: "Master, give this breakfast to Ah Chu first, I will get another one for you."

Seeing Fu Hongxuan's worthless attitude, Yan Mingzhe was already furious and said he didn't need it.

Yan Mingzhe frowned and asked, "You spend all day hanging around a woman. Don't you have anything else to do?"

Fu Hongxuan nodded and said, "After delivering the food to Ah Chu, I need to return to the military camp to take care of some matters. I will come back to see the master in the evening."

It turns out that there is a huge difference between love and not love. For the little girl next door, you can get up early in the morning to take the child to school and bring food to her.

No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of the girl next door first before dealing with your own affairs. But when it comes to him, you just have to wait until you are done with your work before coming to see him.

Yan Mingzhe felt a little jealous at this time. This is what it means to forget your mother after getting a wife!

The more he looked, the angrier he became. Yan Mingzhe waved his hand and told Fu Hongxuan to go about his own business and stop being an eyesore.

So, Yan Mingzhe and Yao Chuguang were the only ones left in the room, staring at each other.

Yao Chuguang pointed at the food on the table and said, "This is mine."

Yan Mingzhe was almost laughing out of anger. What did this yellow-haired girl mean? He was a great scholar, and she would come to snatch her breakfast!

Yan Mingzhe said with a cold and tired expression, "I have already had breakfast, you can eat by yourself!"

Only then did Yao Chuguang sit down and start eating without any worries, not being affected by Yan Mingzhe at all.

Yan Mingzhe saw that although Yao Chuguang ate quite fast, he ate in an elegant manner, not at all vulgar.

Yan Mingzhe always adhered to the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, and sat quietly waiting for Yao Chuguang to finish eating.

Seeing Yao Chuguang finished her breakfast, Yan Mingzhe poured her a cup of tea.

If it were an ordinary person, he would feel very nervous when an elder poured tea for him, let alone a virtuous and respected scholar like Yan Mingzhe.

Yan Mingzhe hasn't poured tea for anyone for a long time, not that he cares about these formalities.

But anyone who drank tea with him never let him touch the teapot.

Yao Chuguang took it naturally and said at the end: "Thank you!"

Yan Mingzhe raised his eyebrows. This girl is not only shameless, but also very brave!

Yan Mingzhe sat back in his chair and asked, "Miss Shen, what are your plans for today?"

Yao Chuguang keenly noticed the change in the way Yan Mingzhe addressed him.

When he turned around, he realized that she was a vixen who had drugged her beloved disciple.

She kept calling her Madam Shen, almost saying that she was unfaithful to her husband.

I didn't expect that after just one night, he accepted his fate and started calling her Miss Shen?

Yao Chuguang swallowed a mouthful of tea and replied, "Let's go to the fields outside the city and take a look."

Yan Mingzhe had heard that people used to go outings and hunting in the suburbs, but he had never seen anyone go to the fields in the suburbs.

Could this be some new trendy pastime?

Yan Mingzhe had already made up his mind last night that he would follow Yao Chuguang all day today in order to transform him.

First of all, we need to understand what kind of person Yao Chuguang is. Yan Mingzhe has been teaching for so many years, so he naturally knows how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. We must first understand him before we can prescribe the right medicine.

Yan Mingzhe didn't ask any more questions, he just asked Yao Chuguang if he could go with him.

Yao Chuguang said it was no problem and even found a straw hat for Yan Mingzhe.

So the old man and the young boy got on a carriage and went to the suburbs.

When they arrived at the farmland in the suburbs, Yan Mingzhe saw Yao Chuguang walk to the edge of the field, take off his shoes carelessly, and go straight into the field.

Yan Mingzhe stood there in a daze, confusion in his eyes.

She got herself into such a mess these days, and it turned out to be because of farming!

Yan Mingzhe never thought that Yao Chuguang would come here to farm every day.

He also wondered if Yao Chuguang was deliberately showing off in front of him because he was following her.

But look at her skillful movements and the familiar way she greets the tenants in the fields.

All these show that she really came here to farm.

But this is exactly what Yan Mingzhe can't understand the most.

According to his initial understanding of Yao Chuguang, her mother was a second lieutenant in the army.

I heard that she performed outstandingly in the army and was the first female general of the Great Qi.

Even though she had lived a difficult life in the past, now she relied on her mother's salary and could not compare with the rich people, but she definitely had enough food and drink.

Since he has no worries about food and drink, and Yao Chuguang has a fair and tender skin, he doesn't look like someone who has been working for many years.

It's just like you are working in an air-conditioned office building in the city, moving bricks, and suddenly you quit your job and go back to your hometown to farm.

I've only heard of those who, used to a good life, pretend to be cultured and go to the countryside to spend a few days leisurely living in the fields.

I have never heard of a farmer who worked so hard to live a good life, but gave up his leisure time and went back to farming.

Just when Yan Mingzhe thought that Yao Chuguang would be like the old farmer in the field, plowing the land and sowing seeds with great effort.

As a result, Yao Chuguang just walked around the field, looking at the soil and the seedlings, and then he came up and changed to another field to continue looking.

He would chat with the farmers in the fields from time to time, and then walk to the nearby stream to wash his feet and put on his shoes.

Yan Mingzhe was completely confused, and he still didn't understand Yao Chuguang.

Yao Chuguang dusted himself off and said to Yan Mingzhe, "Mr. Yan, we've finished looking here. Let's go!"

Yan Mingzhe asked puzzledly, "Are all these lands yours?"

Could it be that this was the land she bought, and these people in the field were tenant farmers hired by Yao Chuguang, and she was inspecting her own property?

Yao Chuguang shook his head and said, "No!"

Yan Mingzhe asked in confusion, "Then why are you here?"

Yao Chuguang pointed to the rice seedlings in the field and said, "I'm learning how to farm."

Yan Mingzhe felt that he couldn't keep up with Yao Chuguang's thinking: "Why do I have to learn farming?"

If nothing unexpected happened to Yao Chuguang in this life, it can be said that he would have no worries about food and clothing, and could even be said to have lived a life of wealth and glory.

The reason why Yan Mingzhe is so pessimistic about Yao Chuguang and Fu Hongxuan is because the gap between them is too big.

When poor people suddenly become rich, it is easy for them to lose themselves in power and not know how to restrain their desires.

Allowing it to expand will only harm others and yourself in the end.

When you have no power, your joys and sorrows belong only to you and cannot affect others.

But one day, you are suddenly elevated to a height that you never dreamed of.

And when you don't know how to use the power in your hands, this is often the most fatal situation.

For example, if someone spills a glass of water on the ground next to you, you may subconsciously frown.

But you have no ill will towards this person, and after a while you will forget about this episode.

But you can forget, but those who want to please you and get shortcuts will not forget.

So the next day you will see the head of the person who poured a glass of water appear on the table.

You may think it’s ridiculous at the moment. Is it really that serious?

You might even feel a little scared or guilty.

But at this time, everyone around you says that this person did something wrong and he deserves this end.

Everyone who offends you should suffer this fate.

Then you will find that no matter what you do, you will get praise and applause.

Over time, do you still think that the person who splashed water should not die?

This is the horror of power.

Yao Chuguang didn't know that Yan Mingzhe had thought so much, but said as he walked: "Now that the world has just been stabilized, the people need to rest and recuperate."

Yan Mingzhe nodded subconsciously, this was true.

Yao Chuguang got on the carriage, pointed the way to the coachman, and continued, "Rest and recuperate means that people all over the world can have enough food and warm clothes."

Yan Mingzhe began to have a better opinion of this girl and continued to ask, "So what does this have to do with your learning farming?"

Yao Chuguang didn't answer but asked, "Mr. Yan, I heard that you have been preparing for the imperial examination this year!"

Yan Mingzhe responded softly. Everyone around him knew that he was going to take the imperial examination, so there was nothing to hide.

Yao Chuguang asked pointedly, "With Mr. Yan's talent and knowledge, winning first place in the imperial examination might be a possibility, but placing in the top ten should be more than enough. Have you ever thought about what it would take to be an official?"

Yan Mingzhe brushed off his clothes calmly and said, "Of course, it is to establish a mind for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and to bring peace to the world for all eternity."

Yao Chuguang praised: "Very good, then what does Mr. Yan plan to do specifically?"

The carriage was silent for a moment. Yan Mingzhe pondered for a moment and said, "Years of war have burdened the people. The heavy taxes have made them suffer unspeakably. If we want to allow the people to rest and recuperate, the most urgent task is to reduce taxes and demobilize some of the troops to return home to farm."

Yao Chuguang chuckled and shook his head. Yan Mingzhe was indeed a great scholar of our time and a good man.

She believed that Yan Mingzhe's proposals were truly for the good of the people, but at the same time he also had the naiveté of a scholar.

It’s very simple. You understand a lot of principles, but can these principles help you change your life?

You can't change anything except yourself.

Yao Chuguang reminded him, "Mr. Yan, the books of saints are all good books. Learning or understanding life is very beneficial to people. But if you use the books of saints to do things, you will end up in trouble."

Yan Mingzhe chuckled upon hearing this, his expression showing an indescribable anger: "What do you mean? If the words of the saint are right, then why can't we do it?"

Yao Chuguang knew that his words were too unorthodox for a person who had taken the quotations of saints as his life creed since childhood.

Many times, it is better for things to teach people once than for people to teach them a hundred times.

Yao Chuguang changed the subject and said, "Mr. Yan wants to put his knowledge into practice when he becomes an official. The same principle applies to me learning farming."

"Since I know that food is the most important thing for the people of the world, and I believe I have some intelligence and talent, why not use it where it is needed? If I can research some methods to increase food production, wouldn't it benefit the people if I spread these methods?"

Yan Mingzhe was stunned for a moment, chewing over his words over and over again.

Only two hours had passed since Yan Mingzhe left the General's Mansion, and he already had a new respect for Yao Chuguang.

Although this girl is a bit rebellious.

But he has the world in his heart and is willing to take action for it. This is better than those corrupt scholars who only talk about national affairs all day long but turn around and live a life of drunkenness and dreams.

No matter how bad can such a person be, Yan Mingzhe somewhat understands why Fu Hongxuan is attracted to this girl.

This girl is a bit like His Majesty, but her ideas are a bit naive.

Even old farmers who have been farming for generations cannot guarantee a good harvest every year.

You have never farmed before, so what can you learn now?

Farming is not like reading or writing articles, where there are standards and references to look at.

Even if you don't have talent, read more articles and practice every day, and you will reap rewards over time.

But farming is different. It not only depends on the soil quality, but also on whether God will provide food.

If you have worked hard for several months and are about to harvest, but then there is heavy rain for several days in a row, which knocks down and washes away the rice.

What can you do? Or maybe God will just not rain for a whole year and the earth will dry up.

People can't even survive, let alone the delicate rice.

But no matter what, this girl has a good heart.

Yan Mingzhe shook his head and planned to persuade Yao Chuguang to change his career path, as farming was too difficult.

You may not achieve anything even if you work hard for your whole life. You should not be too ambitious.

We must be down-to-earth and start with small things, such as improving the loom to increase the weaving speed, which is also a big step forward.

Although Yan Mingzhe had not spent much time with Yao Chuguang, he could see that Yao Chuguang was stubborn and that direct opposition would be counterproductive.

"So what have you gained in the past few days?" Yan Mingzhe planned to proceed step by step.

Yan Mingzhe planned to wait for Yao Chuguang to shake his head and say that he had not gained anything, and then he would press on to persuade Yao Chuguang to give up.

Yao Chuguang answered honestly: "I gained a little, but not much!"

"It's normal to have no gains... Gains? What did you gain?" Yan Mingzhe was almost tongue-tied.

Why doesn't this girl play by the rules?

Just then the carriage stopped. Yao Chuguang jumped off and walked to the edge of the field, pointing at the ditch. "I've discovered that this kind of land really needs water. If there's a drought, it's easy to lose everything."

Yan Mingzhe was like, "Is this considered a discovery?" Even people who have never farmed know this common sense, otherwise why would there be so many droughts?

Once you discover a problem, the key is how you plan to solve it.

Yao Chuguang picked up a stick and cut a hole in the ditch. He said, "There are more droughts in the north and more floods in the south. So, if we can transport water from the south to the north, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

When Yan Mingzhe heard this, he was like, "You are short of money, so let's set a small goal and make 100 million first!"
