Inside the thatched cottage, Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling were like curious babies, interacting with Han Qiu like students, asking for advice tirelessly.
When Han Qiu saw these two people, she also felt that they were very strange. These two people were already in their thirties. Logically speaking, they were already past the age of studying.
However, Han Qiu was touched by his eagerness to ask for advice. It had been a long time since Han Qiu had seen such an enthusiastic person. He lived in the Han Residence. Although the farmers of the Han Residence respected Han Qiu very much, it was precisely because of this that these farmers did not dare to ask too much about Han Qiu's knowledge. This made Han Qiu feel a little lonely.
Han Qiu listened to Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling's questions and was not stingy. She told them everything she knew, including astronomy, geography, and fate!
An incense stick worth of time!
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling were amazed by Han Qiu's knowledge!
Two hours!
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling were shocked. They suddenly realized that they were like frogs at the bottom of a well compared to Uncle Han.
Four hours!
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling were already prostrating themselves in front of Han Qiu. He was proficient in astronomy, geography, military books, and strategies!
How was this a human!
This was clearly an old immortal.
Li Shiming glanced at Fang Xuanling, and the latter immediately understood what he meant.
Li Shi Min's eyes were clearly asking," Xuan Ling, how do you think your knowledge is compared to Uncle Han?
Fang Xuanling returned Li Shiming's gaze. My knowledge is shallow and I don't dare to be compared to Uncle Han!
To his heart's content!
It was not over yet!
This is the pillar that I'm looking for!
This is my Godly Sea Steadying Needle!
With Uncle Han's help, even if he was still a little afraid of Li Changsheng, he would have some confidence in facing him!
……
It had been a long time since Han Qiu had spoken so happily. The entire six hours of teaching had made him fully addicted. This feeling had not appeared for a long time.
The sun was already setting in the west. Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling's stomachs were growling.
"If you two young friends don't mind, you can eat here with me." Han Qiu smiled.”
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling immediately stood up and replied respectfully,"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Han."
"No worries, no worries."
Han Qiu asked Hu Zi to take out the fish that he had stewed yesterday. He had caught five big silver carp yesterday and eaten two yesterday, so there were three left.
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling were already famished, so Han Qiu asked Hu Zi to bring them three corncakes.
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling looked at the cornbread in confusion. They had never seen such food before. It was yellow and round…
In fact, Han Qiu had also steamed a few cornbread with candied dates, but the cornbread had already been eaten, leaving only corn cakes without candied dates.
"What kind of food is this?"
Fang Xuanling picked up a cornbread, sniffed it, and took a bite.
The granules were full and sweet. After taking a few bites, it was actually very delicious.
"Delicious!"
Li Shiming saw Fang Xuanling eating the tortillas, so he also reached out for one. After taking a bite, he found it extremely delicious. After two big bites, Li Shiming picked up a piece of fish…
Fragrant!
Delicious!
The tortillas that Han Qiu made were the ones that were pasted on the fish stew. This kind of tortillas was very tasty and not difficult to swallow.
In the blink of an eye, Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling had finished the three pancakes. They looked at Han Qiu, still wanting more.
If this was any other place, a stranger would probably be reluctant to give up three biscuits and two fish when they came in to ask for food. However, Han Qiu did not care.
Han Qiu had never been stingy with food. Whether it was a beggar passing by or a poor scholar, as long as they entered Han Qiu's courtyard, Han Qiu would definitely prepare food. She treated everyone with courtesy and treated them equally.
He would not feel sorry for this person because he was a beggar, nor would he cling to him because he was rich.
This was Han Qiu's way of doing things. Regardless of whether one's status was illustrious or lowly, Han Qiu would treat them equally!
"Hu Zi, go get a few more cornbread.”
"Hey!"
Hu Zi ran out of the courtyard in a flash and returned to his own house. After grabbing a few cornbread buns, he ran back to Han Qiu's courtyard.
When Hu Zi brought the cornbread over, Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up even more.
"What is this?"
When Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling ate the candied dates, they were shocked by this delicacy!
"This…Is this a delicacy made from corn?”
"Yes!" Hu Zi said in a clear voice.
"Anything else?" Li Shi Min asked.
"Yes! My mother steamed dozens of cornbread. This year's bumper harvest, my family has 60 dans of grain!”
"Ah, sixty dans!" Fang Xuanling suddenly understood.
He was the Prime Minister of the empire, so he naturally knew about the food of the common people. Generally speaking, a family of five had three mu of fertile land. In a year, they would only have five stones of grain left. Four stones per mu was already a bumper harvest. Usually, it was one stone per mu or two stones per mu.
Sixty dan was equivalent to ten families 'annual harvest, and it was a bumper year.
"How many acres of land do you have?"
"My family has six acres of barren land…"
Shocking!
Excitement!
Excitement!
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling's faces were filled with various expressions.
Both of them saw a good solution to the famine!
If this crop called corn was widely promoted, there would definitely be no more famine years!
When evening approached, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling left the Han Residence with a dozen cornbread in their hands.
Han Qiu patted Hu Zi's head." Go and bring out the wine in my room. Call your father over for dinner. There's a rolling pin in my room. Bring it to your mother. I just made it yesterday. It's made of jujube wood. It's sturdy."”
"Hey!"
Hu Zi ran inside.
……
When Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling left, Han Qiu didn't send them off. During their conversation just now, Han Qiu had already tried to probe their identities. However, Han Qiu couldn't believe it. If it was really those two people, weren't they afraid of meeting some evil people?
Could he have guessed wrongly?
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling were extremely excited after leaving the Han Residence.
On the carriage, Li Shi Min felt like he was in a dream.
Everything that had happened in the Han Residence was like a dream!
Not only did he meet an immortal expert, but his knowledge and knowledge made Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling bow their heads in worship!
They also saw the shocking yield of corn. A farmer actually had 40 dan of grain. It was simply shocking.
If it was an ordinary scholar, Li Shimin would definitely recruit him and let him become an official.
However, after Li Shiming saw Uncle Han, he did not dare to recruit him. When facing Uncle Han, Li Shiming actually felt ashamed. It was not that he did not want to use this senior expert for himself, but Li Shiming was more afraid that if he recruited him rashly, he would completely miss out on this senior expert!
"Xuanling, do you think this senior will agree if I let him enter the official career?”
Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Shimin and said,""Your Majesty, I have never heard of Uncle Han's name, but it is a waste for such a great sage to hide in the wild. However, Your Majesty, please think about it. If Uncle Han really wanted to become an official, why would he wait until now? When the Sui Dynasty was still around, Uncle Han could have been an official and become a general!”
"In my opinion, with Uncle Han's ability, even the position of Prime Minister is a grievance to Uncle Han!”
Li Shi Min listened to Fang Xuanling's words and agreed.
"What if Uncle Han comes out? This subject is willing to offer the position of Prime Minister with both hands, this subject is willing to be the main registrar for Uncle Han…"
Fang Xuanling said confidently.
Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shiming didn't dare to recruit Uncle Han anymore. If Uncle Han didn't want to become an official and instead fled to another place, where would he find him?
The two of them brought the cornbread back to Chang 'an.
In the Hall of Political Establishment, Li Shimin took out a few cornbread buns as if he was presenting a treasure. Empress Zhangsun revealed a puzzled expression and asked,"Your Majesty, what is this?"
"What is it? This was a divine item that could solve the problem of feeding the common people of the world!”
"Oh? Where did this come from?"
"The Han Family Residence, in the hands of Uncle Han!"
"Your Majesty, have you seen Uncle Han?"
"Of course I've seen it. It's simply the demeanor of an immortal!”
Empress Zhangsun had never heard Li Shimin praise anyone, and his words of praise were overflowing with words.
Empress Zhangsun was even more curious about this Uncle Han.
"Your Majesty, when will you bring me out of the palace to meet this immortal?”
" When there's a chance in the future, it's not that I don't want to bring you along. I'm just afraid that Senior…"
Empress Zhangsun heard Li Shimin's worry. Li Shimin was worried that he would bring someone else to visit and make Uncle Han unhappy.
Empress Zhangsun laughed involuntarily.
"I don't know when His Majesty has become so overcautious.”
" Empress, you might not know this, but this Uncle Han is really knowledgeable about both astronomy and geography. Even Fang Xuanling's talent is not one percent of Uncle Han's…"
"Ah!"
Empress Zhangsun covered her mouth, but she still exclaimed,""This Uncle Han is actually so powerful!”
"Of course!"
Although Empress Zhangsun had promised Li Shiming that she would not follow him to visit Uncle Han, she was even more curious about this peerless expert!
