A few days passed.
Li Shi Min's mood was getting worse by the day.
The reason was simple.
After meeting Han Xiu the last time, he personally went out again the next day.
He wanted to find him to continue discussing the drought in Hedong Road.
It wasn't that Li Shi Min didn't trust him, but he wanted to ask.
Now that the drought was coming, what solution should he have?
Or rather, how should the commoners who were in trouble be settled?
After all, the Great Tang's treasury was empty, unable to make ends meet.
He had almost used up all of the wealth he had from the previous Sui Dynasty.
Using food to relieve the disaster seemed to be the only way.
However…if he wanted to save the entire Hedong Road, this would definitely be a huge investment.
This made Li Shi Min feel a little awkward.
However, if he left the refugees alone, Li Shiming would not be able to accept it.
Thus, he wanted to ask Han Xiu if he had any other ideas.
But…
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, an old eunuch rushed in with a flustered expression.
Seeing this, Li Shi Min quickly stood up.
"How is it, Mr. Han?" Li Shi Min hurriedly asked.
However, the old eunuch shook his head and said,""Your Majesty, this old servant sent someone to Mr. Han's stall, but, but Mr. Han is still not there!”
"What is it? Still not here?"
When Li Shi Min heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.
Until now, he had never thought that he would one day be empty without a fortune-teller.
For the past five days, he had sent people out to check almost every day.
In the end, Han Xiu was nowhere to be seen in these five days.
It was as if he had disappeared from this world all of a sudden.
At this moment, when Li Shiming heard that there was still no trace of Han Xiu, his heart became empty again.
At this moment.
Empress Zhangsun walked over.
He frowned.
"Second Brother, have you not found Mr. Han yet?”Empress Zhangsun asked.
"Hmm? It's a Guanyin maid…Sigh, I wonder where Han Xiu went. He hasn't been seen for five days. Could it be…something happened to him?”Li Shi Min said with a frown.
Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun remained silent.
Instead, he pondered.
"Second Brother, didn't you say that Mr. Han lives in Matou Village outside the city?" she asked suddenly. Since Second Brother missed it so much, why not go to that Horse Head Village directly to investigate?”
Hearing this, Li Shi Min's eyes flashed and he clapped his hands together.
"That's right, why didn't I think of this!”
"Come, bring Li Junxian to zhen. zhen wants to leave the palace and go to Horse Head Village!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old eunuch hurriedly bowed.
"Yes!"
With that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
A few moments later, Li Shiming arrived in casual clothes with Li Junxian and a few guards.
Just as he was about to leave the palace.
What a coincidence.
At the entrance of the palace, they happened to meet Zhangsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, and Du Ruhui.
When they met Li Shi Min at the city gate, they were shocked.
They were all dumbfounded.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"”
Li Shi Min smiled and nodded when he saw them.
"Just in time, Fuji, Zhijie, and Keming, you came at the right time. Come, follow me out of the palace!”
"Leave the palace? Where is Your Majesty going?"
Zhangsun Wuji asked with a frown.
"Horse Head Village!"
"Horse Head Village?"
When they heard this, just as they were still in a daze.
Li Shi Min had already walked past them and left the palace.
The few old fellows looked at each other.
Without a word, he followed behind Li Shiming.
He rushed straight to the city gate.
…
…
Why hadn't Han Xiu entered the city to set up a stall these past few days?
The reason was simple.
Because of the drought in Hedong Road.
Although the disaster had not yet erupted, Han Xiu was already aware of the severity of the problem.
The price of rice was bound to rise.
With his family background, it was obviously impossible for him to hoard rice.
Therefore, he had been busy planting sweet potatoes and rice at home for the past few days.
They even turned over the small courtyard in his house.
"Brother, can these sweet potatoes…really grow?”
At this moment, the siblings were squatting there, looking at the sweet potatoes buried in the ground.
Han Xi 'er asked in confusion.
During the Great Tang, sweet potatoes had not yet been introduced.
Other than Han Xiu, there was probably no one else who knew what this thing was.
Han Xiu smiled lightly." Don't worry. These sweet potatoes are very easy to grow. They don't have to pick the land. Even in dry places, they can be planted. Moreover, the yield is amazing. It won't be a problem even if it's a thousand catties per mu!”
Hearing this.
Han Xi 'er was shocked.
"A thousand catties per mu? If that was the case, wouldn't the disaster be resolved?”
Han Xiu smiled and didn't say anything.
Then, she saw him turn around and enter the house, taking out a few sweet potatoes.
"Xi 'er, other than the shocking yield of this sweet potato and its ability to adapt to any harsh environment, its taste is also quite good!”
"Yes, and there are many ways to cook it. For example, sweet potato porridge can also be steamed, boiled, roasted, fried, and so on. In short, it's a very convenient and delicious thing!”
"Come, I'll roast two for you today and let you taste it!”
"Hurry up and help me light a fire. The two of us siblings will eat roasted sweet potatoes tonight!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Han Xi 'er turned around and got busy with her work.
Not long after, a pile of firewood was set up in the courtyard.
He threw the roasted sweet potato inside and lit it up.
Han Xiu ignored him.
In the end, not long after.
The fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes gradually wafted out.
When Han Xi 'er caught a whiff of the scent, her eyes lit up.
However…
Before she could speak.
She heard a man's voice from afar.
"Ha! It smells so good. Mr. Han, what are you roasting?”
Hearing this.
Han Xiu suddenly turned his head.
In the end, he said in surprise,"Old Li? You guys found us here?”
Kneel and beg for all support, thank you!!!
