In the imperial prison.
"Lord Mu, you have suffered." Zuo Qingshang looked at Mu Yu who was sent out.
"Lord Mu, you've suffered." The jailers also said.”
"It's all thanks to my brothers that you took good care of me.”Mu Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the prison."Brothers, see you again in the future."
"Lord Mu, it's better not to meet.”"Don't tell me you want to come back a few more times?" The jailers laughed.”
"That's hard to say.”Mu Yu smiled.
The jailers were a little speechless. According to this man's words, he might have to offend the current Emperor a few more times.
At the thought of this, the jailers felt their scalps go numb and did not dare to say anything else. They were afraid that they would hear something they should not and lose their heads.
"Lord Mu, take care. We brothers have official business to attend to, so we won't send you off.”A few jailers hurriedly sent the guests off and left without looking back. They were afraid that Mu Yu would spout nonsense. If Mu Yu was fine, they would be in fear for many days.
All the way back to the Mu Residence.
On the way, Zuo Qingshang told Mu Yu some interesting stories.
" After the potato method is formulated, it will be led by the Ministry of Works and assisted by the local governments. Starting from the seeds given by you, we will begin to plant them. According to what you said, we will plant two crops a year. In some places with suitable environments, we will plant three crops a year. It is estimated that in a year, we will be able to spread the entire Great Luo from the initial planting. Now, the people of the world are very grateful to you.”Zuo Qingshang had a smile on her face. She was obviously very happy.
"It's also a burden on my mind. When the potatoes are ripe, will the higher-ups give out rewards?”
"The imperial edict has been issued. It says that the Great Elder will be released from the imperial prison and will be rewarded on a certain day.”
"Oh." Mu Yu nodded and then ran around the streets of the capital with Zuo Qingshang in a good mood, like a couple shopping!
Originally, Zuo Qingshang wanted to say," Your Excellency, it's dangerous. Now, countless rebels and spies from other countries see you as a thorn in their eyes. They want to kill you and eat you."
However, thinking about it in the blink of an eye, with him around, there was no danger that could not be eliminated.
He did not say much.
After walking around the capital, there was nothing to buy. The jade products of this era were still worth looking at, but the other craftsmanship was far inferior to that of the modern era. Only some small craftsmen carved objects that were exquisite. The carving skills of this era were exquisite, and many small things were very liked by Mu Yu.
In a good mood, Mu Yu decided to spend some money and go to a restaurant.
"Sir, this wine might be poisoned." After the waiter served the wine, Zuo Qingshang said, then took out a silver needle to test it.
The waiter was speechless, but there were many nobles in the capital. The waiter did not dare to say anything and only dared to guard the side cautiously.
"Sir, this beef might be poisonous…"
"Milord, this mutton might be poisonous too.”
Mu Yu smiled speechlessly.
As he ate his last meal, Mu Yu began to miss his previous life.
In ancient times, it was still 80% good. There was quite a difference in food and drink. However, the beef and mutton were still very delicious. Unfortunately, the country was not strong enough. Beef and mutton were not available every day in the inn. He was just lucky.
Ordinary families could not even feed themselves, so how could they afford to raise cows and sheep?
In this era, cattle, sheep, and poultry were rare. Occasionally, some families would raise pigs, but they were also rare. Most of them raised chickens and ducks…pigs. Mu Yu's eyes lit up.
At this moment, a voice came from the table next door.
"Your Majesty is rarely wise."
"Lord Mu has developed a new crop that can produce 30 dan per mu. It's incredible. It's simply a heaven-shocking work and a world-shocking move. There has never been an ancient one before, and I'm afraid no one will come after.”
" This is the living Bodhisattva we want to worship. I wonder what Your Majesty is thinking. Why don't you give him a title of nobility…"
"How many commoners have received the grace of Duke Mu? With just this, it's not too much to confer the title of Duke.”
"How can it be enough to be conferred the title of Duke? It's best to be conferred the title of King.”Mu Yu joined the discussion seriously." It's best if it's the kind that has a king whip. It's the kind that specializes in deceiving incompetent emperors and beating treacherous officials. Lord Mu must have worked hard."”
"Yes, yes." All the guests nodded in agreement.
Zuo Qingshang couldn't help but laugh at the side. In the end, she pressed her lower abdomen to prevent her stomach from hurting from laughing.
It was a good thing for the world to meet such a good official like Lord Mu. However, it was a bad thing for the current empress. This was because this lord wanted to beat up the incompetent ruler every day. The empress was an incompetent ruler!
Perhaps that detestable fatuous ruler was also angered by Lord Mu to the point of wanting to vomit blood.
He deserved it!
" There's hope for the Great Luo, but when I think of one thing, I feel detestable. The hateful barbarians at the border come to our Great Luo to plunder every year, but because of the lack of food, we can't clean them up. Now that we have these crops, we should be able to have enough spare silver in two years at most. We can ruthlessly fight them out so that the border won't suffer from the war and those hateful barbarians will pay the price.”
"I heard that the border guards came to beg His Majesty to send out silver taels to the army, but His Majesty rejected them.”
" The disaster in the northwest is severe. The higher-ups are having a headache. How can they send troops at this time? In recent years, the situation in the Great Desolation has been getting worse and worse. Sending troops will only make the people suffer more…"
"There's such a thing?"
"Yes, I went to the border once. There was no life in the eyes of the people there. When I questioned them, they were all apathetic. I'm used to fleeing and dying. I live one day at a time…Sigh, we've been eating wine and meat here, but we've suffered at the border and have lost our appetite…"
Ding!
"The host is eating and drinking in the restaurant. I heard that the border has suffered a lot. The barbarians have been pillaging and suffering from the war. The general guarding the border is powerless and has no food and supplies. His Majesty doesn't care about it, and the people at the border have suffered from the war for a long time. Activate the system mission.”
[You have activated the mission: Rescue the border.]”
"Mission requirement: Earn five million taels in a month.”
"Mission reward: Lifespan 10, martial arts talent 10, charm 1, strength 3.”
" Mission Hint: A skyscraper rises from the ground. The rise of a peerless dynasty is made up of countless branches that have yet to be connected. Each detail is cast. The foundation is extremely important. Host, please work hard to complete the mission.”
Mu Yu's eyes lit up at first, but then he was furious.
The dog emperor didn't even give five million taels of silver and wanted him, a subject, to earn it. What a muddle-headed ruler!
However, it was fine if he did not know about the border war, but he could not ignore it if he knew.
However, how was he going to earn this five million taels of silver? Earn money with his head?
It wasn't that he couldn't make money. In this era, Mu Yu thought about it carefully. There seemed to be many ways to make money. He couldn't even count them on his fingers.
However, the key was that most of the methods had to be done slowly.
It would be extremely difficult to earn five million taels of silver in a month. Even if Mu Yu worked himself to death and did everything he could to research salt purification, glass, chicken essence, and so on, he would not be confident at all.
Even if he did, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to earn five million taels in a month.
"Let's go find the Duke of Wei and see if there's any other way.”
Just as this thought flashed through Mu Yu's mind, he saw Zuo Qingshang, who was eating rice in small bites across from him, freeze slightly. Then, she stopped eating and placed her bowl on the table. Then, she placed one hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist.
Mu Yu's expression tightened.
He now knew how miraculous these top-notch experts were. They could kill trees from a thousand meters away as if they were eating and drinking water. They were incomparably powerful.
"Is it dangerous?" Mu Yu asked.
"An acquaintance is here." Zuo Qingshang frowned and asked in confusion,""He actually walked over?"
In the beginning, she was filled with killing intent, but as she sensed something, her terrifying killing intent was restrained.
Hearing that she was an acquaintance, Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. However, looking at Zuo Qingshang's status, she did not seem like a good friend, so his heart trembled again.
At this time, Zuo Qingshang turned her head to look at the staircase leading to the second floor of the inn.
Mu Yu also looked over.
P.S. This book might have some problems, but I don't want to be a eunuch. Anyway, I'll write it. If I can't write it anymore, I'll finish it. The author doesn't want to be an eunuch anymore.
