In fact, this kind of workload did not require so many people. One person was enough.
However, since it was Cheng Chuyou's request, the old farmers couldn't refuse, so they began to take action.
In about the time for an incense stick to burn, these old farmers had tidied up this piece of land.
Although a few people could do the job, Cheng Chuyou felt that he had to be careful.
After all, he only had a few potato seeds. If he did not do it well, he might be completely wiped out.
He asked the old farmers to go to the fertile field on the other side and continue this operation. Cheng Chuyou personally went to the field and planted the six potatoes in the field.
Then, Cheng Chuyou went to the fertile field on the other side and planted the remaining eight potatoes.
"Cheng Liang, send someone to look after these two pieces of land. Don't let anyone steal the things.”
"Whether or not I can sleep with the merit book in the future depends on you.”Cheng Chuyou smiled and patted Cheng Liang's shoulder.
Cheng Liang's expression immediately turned serious as he nodded solemnly.
In this era where faith was more important than life, when the family head gave such an important task, Cheng Liang could even risk his own life.
This was also the reason why Cheng Chuyou dared to entrust this matter to Cheng Liang.
On the one hand, it was to see Cheng Liang's character and see if he was suitable for this great responsibility.
On the other hand, it was also to nurture him.
Since Cheng Yaojin had chosen him, Cheng Chuyou naturally had to train him.
Cheng Chuyou returned home satisfied.
......
"Your Majesty, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao, Zhangsun Chong, requests an audience.”
In Taiji Palace, Li Shi Min was reading the memorial in his hand, concentrating on marking something.
Hearing that his nephew was looking for him, Li Shiming naturally wanted to see him.
"Let him in." Li Shi Min said lightly.
The eunuch immediately left. After a while, Zhangsun Chong walked in.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Zhangsun Chong saluted Li Shiming.
"Chong-er? Today, it just so happens that Hongwen Hall is off. Why didn't you go out to tour the mountains and play? Instead, you came to my place?”Li Shi Min asked with a smile.
"Chong-er has suddenly collected a strange fan and wishes to give it to Your Majesty.”Zhangsun Chong said.
"Sigh, you collected a fan and gave it to me. If Wei Zheng finds out about this, he will scold me in front of all the officials again.”Li Shi Min shook his head.
Li Shiming was really afraid of Wei Zheng now, and he regretted saying those words.
But now, Wei Zheng had been taking the lead in criticizing Li Shiming in the court every two or three days. Li Shiming could still get angry, or else he would block the way of speech.
Every time he saw Wei Zheng's report, Li Shimin was terrified.
Back then, Li Shimin had snatched the naming rights of Qu Yuanli from Cheng Chuyou. Even though Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had witnessed it together, it was Cheng Yaojin who suggested the name change.
However, Li Shimin was still scolded by Wei Zheng.
As a ruler, Li Shimin had no way of escaping after Wei Zheng found out that he was stealing something from his subjects.
Now that Zhangsun Chong wanted to give him something, Li Shimin refused without thinking.
"Wei Zheng can't say anything about this nephew giving Uncle something, right?”Zhangsun Chong took out the excuse he had prepared beforehand.
Li Shi Min was stunned.
That's right!
A nephew giving something to an uncle, this could not be considered stealing something from an official, right?
Besides, Zhangsun Chong had yet to become an official in the imperial court. Li Shiming was his nephew and uncle.
Zhangsun Chong naturally noticed Li Shiming's sudden change of heart.
Zhangsun Chong smiled in his heart and immediately handed the folding fan to the eunuch beside him, asking him to help pass it over.
While Li Shiming was still thinking, the fan was already handed over.
Since he had already sent it up, he would just accept it. At most, Wei Zheng would scold him again.
Li Shi Min held the folding fan and a familiar feeling welled up in his heart.
He seemed to have seen this folding fan somewhere before.
Li Shiming opened his fan and saw the words on it.
"This folding fan has Cao Zhi's 'Ode to the Luo God' written on it. Although I don't know if it was written by Cao Zhi, the seal on it should be real.”
While Li Shiming was checking, Zhangsun Chong was explaining the situation.
"Hmph, Cheng Chuyou didn't expect this fan to be a gift from me to His Majesty!”
"If His Majesty likes it, perhaps he will betroth Chang Le to me…"
These were the thoughts in Zhangsun Chong's mind. Thinking of this, the smile on Zhangsun Chong's face widened.
Li Shi Min had a strange expression on his face as he looked around with the fan in his hand. Finally, he confirmed one thing.
"Chong-er, did you collect this fan from the Cheng Clan?”Li Shi Min asked.
"What? How did Your Majesty know?" Zhangsun Chong was confused.
"Is it Cheng Yaojin or Cheng Chuyou?”Li Shi Min continued to ask.
"It's Cheng Chuyou." Zhangsun Chong answered honestly.
"Did Cheng Chuyou also tell you... This folding fan was their family heirloom?”
"Ah? How did Your Majesty know?"
