"Hehehe…"
Seeing Li Er eating so happily that he wanted to swallow the skin, Cheng Yaojin giggled and said,
"Your Majesty, some farmers are selling this in Chang 'an today. It's called Roasted Sweet Potato!”
"Roasted sweet potatoes?"
Fang Xuanling was a little surprised to hear this and couldn't help but say,"
"I've never heard of such crops among the five grains.”
Cheng Yaojin was instantly displeased. He glared at Fang Xuanling and said,"
"There's nothing in this world that doesn't exist. Can Xuanling guarantee that he has tasted all kinds of crops? Eating it without getting a stomachache was good food!”
Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched. He couldn't refute these words. Back then, when they were fighting for territory, they had even gnawed at the grass roots.
"Zhijie is right."
Beside him, Li Er also burped after eating his fill and said in satisfaction,
" The taste is excellent, sweet and delicious. Since the tenant farmers brought it to Chang 'an for sale, it must have been grown on the land.”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Cheng Yaojin laughed and said,
"Your Majesty, I have paid a lot for this sweet potato. Those stupid goods in Chang 'an City are fighting with me.”
"In the end, I considered that Your Majesty had never tasted it before, so I reluctantly gave up my precious carriage in exchange for this item, just to give Your Majesty a taste!”
These words were just short of snot and tears. The old demon was obviously trying to curry favor in front of Li Er and wanted to take credit.
"State Duke Lu actually used the python horse carriage that His Majesty bestowed to exchange for this item? You're so muddleheaded!"
Fang Xuanling was shocked.
"Of course I'm not stupid! Your Majesty, I took the python chariot to exchange for it to inquire about the details!”
Cheng Yaojin cupped his hands and looked at Li Er."
"This item is from Lushan Village, Lanshan County, in the northern suburbs of Chang 'an City. It's a remote village.”
"Now that the locust plague is everywhere, the production of these sweet potatoes is still shocking. I'm afraid they're not afraid of the locusts.”
"If I can obtain the method to grow this thing, I will never have to fear locust plagues again!”
This old demon was not as stupid as he thought. He had thought of how to take credit before he came.
Cheng Chuliang had heard from the villagers that the sweet potato production was not low, so the old demon's thoughts were even more far-reaching.
Locust plagues had long been rampant around Chang 'an City. Many county officials had been asking for a way to get rid of the plague, but it had always been difficult to get rid of it.
Because of this, most of the crops and crops were destroyed. Li Er also had a headache.
Fang Xuanling and Li Er's expressions changed in horror. The latter stood up abruptly and looked at Cheng Yaojin excitedly."
"Really?"
"Absolutely true! This humble subject surmises that either the villagers of Reliance Village have a way to deal with the locust plague, or the crops are not afraid of locusts!”
Cheng Yaojin voiced out his guess. Fang Xuanling gasped and said solemnly,"
"If that's the case, the people of the Great Tang will be blessed for eternity, and they will no longer have to endure famine!”
Li Er was so excited that he couldn't help but praise Cheng Yaojin,"
"Good! If this matter can really succeed, I will remember the first credit!”
Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed and said happily,
"It is my duty to share Your Majesty's worries.”
"There is no time to lose. Prepare the sedan chair. I want to personally make a trip to Reliance Village!”
This matter was related to the food and clothing of the people of the world. Li Er had always been in a hurry, so he actually wanted to set off immediately.
"Your Majesty, the sun has already set. Reliance Village is located in a remote area. If we go there rashly, we might scare the villagers.”
Fang Xuanling stepped forward again and cupped his hands respectfully.
"This matter is of great importance. I think Your Majesty can go there in disguise tomorrow and make a decision after understanding it clearly on the spot!”
Cheng Yaojin was unhappy when he heard this. He still wanted to take credit for it, so he said,
"I'm accompanying His Majesty. Could it be that I'll encounter danger…"
"Regarding this matter, it is indeed appropriate to go tomorrow. It was Zhen who did not consider it properly.”
Li Er interrupted Cheng Yaojin's words. He thought for a moment with his hands behind his back and said,
"After the morning court session tomorrow, Xuanling and Zhijie will accompany me in plain clothes. This matter must be kept a secret. Don't scare the villagers.”
"Yes!"
……
"Young Master, I've made a fortune. I've never seen so much money in my life.”
"Young Master, look at this carriage. It's so grand. In the future, Young Master and Young Lady can take this carriage out of the village to play.”
"Young Master, look at this dress. It's so beautiful. Young Madam will definitely like it!”
As the sun set, the village erupted in cheers.
Old Gen and the villagers brought back a large amount of supplies and excitedly reported the situation of today's sales to Qin Feng.
"Young Master, after spending some money, there are still 230 strings left. The clothes and supplies have also been sent to Young Master's house.”
Lao Gen came over with a bag of money.
Qin Feng took it and weighed it in his hand. He took out two strings of money and handed it to Lao Gen,
"Today, twenty villagers will be sent out. Each of them will be given a hundred copper coins. In the future, when you leave the city, buy some clothes to wear.”
"A hundred wen?"
The villagers were shocked and waved their hands.
"No, we didn't do anything. Young Master helped us not to worry about food and clothing, so we should serve Young Master.”
"The harvest of the crops is what you deserve. This money is also the reward for selling them. Do you understand?”
Qin Feng said seriously. The villagers were stunned. Then, they were moved to tears.
"Young Master is really a good person. The heavens must have sent Young Master here to benefit Reliance Village.”
"Yes, young master is an immortal who saves people from hardship, but 100 wen is too much. 10 wen is enough.”
"Yes, yes, yes. This money has to be kept for Young Master to support his family.”
This amount of money was indeed too much for them. They were overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and did not dare to accept it.
The villagers were simple and honest. Qin Feng guaranteed that they would not have to worry about food and clothing. How could they dare to ask for more?
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and no longer forced himself. He looked at the villagers and said,
"In the future, regardless of whether you work in the village or not, you will be paid ten copper coins a day for helping me. Everyone has to work hard.”
With money, the motivation of the villagers would multiply and they would get twice the result with half the effort. This was human nature. As expected, the villagers were extremely excited and spoke one after another.
"Alright, alright. Tomorrow, we'll go and sell roasted sweet potatoes again. We'll be happy to earn money for Young Master.”
"Yes, bring the ironware to the empty space in the east of the village. Tomorrow morning, Lao Gen will bring some people to forge some new farming tools.”
Qin Feng instructed.
This time, he even instructed Lao Gen and the others to buy some iron tools and prepare to modify some farming tools to increase productivity.
The villagers started to get busy. Just as Qin Feng was about to pull the carriage home, a fragrant wind blew from behind him.
"Husband."
"When will Wifey come over?"
Qin Feng turned around and looked at the beautiful lady. The latter took out a handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped the sweat on his forehead. She smiled gently and said,
"Come over for a while and learn from you, husband.”
"Oh? How did you learn?"
"Husband, let the villagers understand that hard work is rewarded. Reliance Village will definitely last for a long time.”
"Hahaha…"
Qin Feng laughed heartily. The words of the beautiful wife were really pleasant to the ears.
Li Changle suddenly looked at a luxurious carriage next to him. His eyes narrowed and he couldn't help but ask softly,"
"Husband, where did this carriage come from?”
"This is the old root replaced with roasted sweet potatoes. Not bad, right?”
Qin Feng grinned and pulled Li Changle.
"I'll take you to Chang 'an when I'm free, okay?”
Darling, do you want to go to Chang 'an?"
Li Changle couldn't help but look at Qin Feng. The latter nodded and smiled,
"Yes, Chang 'an is the center of the Tang Empire. It's very prosperous. I want to take my wife to have a look.”
Hearing this, Li Changle gently bit on the petal of his mouth, and the hand that was holding Qin Feng involuntarily tightened. The latter was somewhat surprised and looked over,
"Wifey is unwilling to go? If you're not willing, then go somewhere else…"
"No."
Li Changle shook his head and leaned his head on Qin Feng's shoulder.
" My husband wants to go to Chang 'an, so I will go with you. I am thinking about which beautiful scenery I want to take you to enjoy."”
Is my wife familiar with Chang 'an Fortress?"
"I have been there a few times. When Changle's body is fully healed, I will accompany you to Chang 'an.”
"Let's not delay any longer and hurry home. I'll bring my wife to experience the new version of the ship's treatment method that I've never experienced before, okay?”
"Alright."
Li Changle was very obedient, but he blinked his beautiful eyes curiously and asked,"
"Husband, what is this new version of the ship?”
"..."
The fourth update was completed today.
There were still more than 600 flowers to go, and 300 comments to go.
