After that, the eunuch exchanged some pleasantries with Lin Hao before leaving in satisfaction.
After the eunuch left, the Lu sisters threw themselves into Lin Hao's arms excitedly.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Hao and said in admiration,"
"Husband, His Majesty has conferred you the title of Marquis Dingguo!”
"Oh yeah, husband is a high official!"
Lin Hao hugged Lu Su on his left and Lu Zhi on his right. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smug smile as he said,
"Haha, from now on, you will be the Marquis's Furen. Are you happy?”
"I'm happy!"
The two girls blinked their lively eyes and smiled brightly. Then, they nodded in unison and smiled happily.
Lin Hao had only arrived in Xianyang City for a short time, but he had become the Marquis Dingguo of Great Qin!
Such a heaven-defying transformation and ability surprised and delighted the two women!
At the same time, the two girls were even more grateful for their decision to choose Lin Hao back then, and their love for Lin Hao was even more intense!
"Husband, do you want to tell father the good news?”
Lu Zhi was very happy and wondered if he should tell this good news to Lu Gong who was still in Pei County.
"Yes, husband, tell this news to father and make him happy.”
Lu Su also pouted and shook Lin Hao's arm coquettishly.
Lin Hao rubbed his chin and muttered to himself for a moment before speaking with a deep expression.
"You are right. Write a letter to tell father-in-law.”
"Moreover, if the people of Pei County knew that the Imperial Court had conferred the title of Marquis Dingguo on me, they would definitely be even more respectful of our Lu Family. Naturally, they would not dare to have any ideas about our Lu Family's business.”
"Husband is really thoughtful. I'll do it now!”
His voice had just sounded when Lu Zhi once again looked at Lin Hao with a face full of admiration. After which, his figure curled up and left.
A few days later, Qin Shihuang gave Lin Hao a signboard made of golden nanmu.
On the black and gilded plaque were carved the words "Marquis Dingguo's Mansion" in large, flamboyant words!
The previously unknown Lin Manor had directly become the Marquis Dingguo Manor that everyone envied and flocked to!
Not long after, the news of Qin Shihuang conferring Lin Hao the title of Marquis Dingguo and bestowing him with a plaque spread like wildfire, immediately causing a huge uproar in the court!
All the officials in the court knew that Lin Hao, who had solved the plague in Kuaiji and personally presented sweet potatoes to the court, had become Emperor Qin's favorite!
For a time, countless officials came to visit Lin Hao's residence.
……
On this day, after a long journey, Liu Bang and Yi Xiaochuan finally arrived near the outskirts of Xianyang City with a group of laborers.
"Haha, Brother Yi, Old Gao, Xianyang is not far ahead!”
"Let's hurry up and get to the relay station to rest for the night. Tomorrow is the deadline!”
Liu Bang looked at the faintly visible walls of Xianyang City not far ahead and looked relieved. He then urged Yi Xiaochuan and Liu Bang behind him.
Yi Xiaochuan was travel-worn and exhausted from the journey. He had wanted to rest for a while, but when he heard that they still had to hurry, he could only follow them helplessly.
"Xiaochuan, look at what the farmers are doing in the fields. How strange!"
At this moment, Gao Yao seemed to have seen something strange and patted Lin Hao's shoulder.
Yi Xiaochuan looked in the direction Gao Yao was pointing and his eyes widened.
On a large piece of farmland outside Xianyang City, countless farmers had made long ridges and were planting sweet potato seedlings uniformly.
The farmers were excited. They were busy in the fields while chattering.
"I heard from the government that this sweet potato can produce 60 dan per mu. It's really amazing!”
"If we can produce 60 dan per mu, then we won't have to go hungry anymore!”
"Yeah, I heard that the taste of this sweet potato is very good after it is cooked!”
……
In the fields, under the guidance and supervision of the officials, these farmers were busy with the sweet potato and were in high spirits.
When Yi Xiaochuan saw this, he immediately lost his composure and exclaimed in disbelief,"
"Damn, aren't they planting sweet potatoes? Where did the sweet potatoes come from?"
"Come, Old Gao, let's go and take a look.”
With that said, Yi Xiaochuan was about to pull Gao Yao over to the field to investigate.
"Xiaochuan, don't go. Tomorrow is the deadline. We have to rush to the relay station now!”
Liu Bang shouted anxiously when he saw that Yi Xiaochuan had been delayed by some trivial matters.
"Big brother, you guys go to the relay station first. I'll come and find you later.”
Yi Xiaochuan waved his hand and said without turning his head.
"Sigh, you really like to meddle in other people's business!”
Liu Bang sighed and left with the servants.
When Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao walked into the fields, they found that the farmers were working hard to plant the sweet potato seedlings. There were also government officials supervising and instructing them.
"How strange, where did Great Qin get so many sweet potatoes?”
Seeing so many sweet potato seedlings at the scene and the government's cooperation in guiding the planting, Yi Xiaochuan muttered in puzzlement.
"Little Chuan, don't think too much. We'll find someone to ask and we'll know.”
Gao Yao was straightforward. After he finished speaking, he walked to an old man who was busy and asked kindly,
"Old man, where did you get these sweet potato seedlings?”
