Jin Yu was a little confused: "Sister, why do you need so much food? The rent collected by our family alone is 200,000 kilograms. The ten houses in the backyard are full, and there is also a courtyard in the town. You wrote to me earlier, no
Let’s send grain to pig farms. We only send some bran, rotten vegetable leaves, peanuts, sweet potatoes, vines and the like. This grain can’t be stored and will easily deteriorate over time. It’s not as solid as gold and silver!”
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Can gold and silver fill your stomach? Sister Jinyu, you don't know the situation outside at home. Food is very tight now. Buying more food will be useful!"
Jin Yu is still a little worried. Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain are not enough? In the past, not to mention Shangjia Village, even the seven or eight nearby villages had not confiscated so much grain. Now the output has increased, and one acre of land can be replaced by three acres of land.
Ah! But in the past, if there was too much grain, it would be exchanged for money. Now how can anyone exchange money for grain? Besides, there is still so much land at home to harvest grain!
"Sister Jinyu, just listen to me. In this way, when Liu Fu and others arrive, tomorrow I will ask them to divide the money and send it to the town. The workers will work and the wages cannot be owed! I will exchange the rest for scraps of silver with
Copper coins, ready to buy food! I will also go to the town tomorrow. I think it is okay not to buy a house, but put it in the backyard between the vegetable shop and the sky and the earth, so that I don’t have to find someone to take care of it alone, and I will send less at a time. Slowly
If you transport it slowly, people will think you are buying food, so it won't be eye-catching!" Chu Yiqing said firmly.
Jin Yu could only say: "Okay, then I will listen to you!"
Chu Yiqing nodded, and together with Jin Yu, they wrapped the silver in sheets and went up. They divided it into twenty parts according to the silver needed by the people hired in each town, wrapped it in a bag, wrote the name of the town, and waited for Liu Fu and the others to deliver it tomorrow.
go.
In the evening, Jin Yu told Zhao Xiaomai that Chu Yiqing wanted to buy food, and then said: "I always feel that buying food is useless. Dad Maixiang, why do you think this girl needs so much food? She is alone.
The food can match that of a town!"
Zhao Xiaomai couldn't figure it out, but after all he went to Lucheng and knew some of the situation, so he said: "But food is really tight outside. When we were in Lucheng, the yamen were selling food. On the black market, there were also
Some people say that the grain costs six cents per pound, but these are just rumors, because all the land in Lucheng was planted with vegetables last year, so where is the grain?"
"Six cents?" Jin Yu's eyes widened, "So expensive? The best one here costs four cents, or three cents!"
"No, so I think the girl may want to buy here and sell there. Maybe, since there are many carriages and manpower at home, we can do any business!" Zhao Xiaomai moved and moved
Jin Yu hugged her and said, "Yu, don't talk about the girl. Anyway, the girl has a good idea. Just listen. I want to say something else and discuss something with you!"
Zhao Xiaomai's tone was so flattering that Jin Yu couldn't help but be startled. The tender flesh on her waist was tickled by him again. She quickly shrank her body, fearing to wake up the two sleeping children, and laughed in a low voice:
"What are you going to say?"
Zhao Xiaomai put his face close to her and said with a smile: "It's about Zhao Ni. Zhao Ni, do you remember? She is my eldest brother's eldest daughter, the one who is hard to talk to!"
Jin Yu resisted the itch and turned to ask him: "Did you leave home for Zhaojiacun yesterday?"
Zhao Xiaomai nodded: "Zhang San didn't tell you?"
"The whole family is in such chaos, how can I have time to ask?" Jin Yu glared at him, "What, after you left, Ma made some conditions for you?"
Zhao Xiaomai hurriedly said: "What's the condition? I saw Nizi. I didn't see her much before, but now I see her and I know that she is also a big girl. She is different from her mother. She is very shy.
Big talk, but very capable! But you also know that my eldest sister has a reputation. She always fights with people in the village and offends many people. In addition, her family is poor. Although Zhao Ni is honest, it is hard to find people, the eldest brother said
It was the matchmaker who told me about several families, either without parents or older. This would have wronged Nizi’s child! I said that I wanted to ask you to help me and look around in our village for any good boys!
"
Jin Yu changed his position and lay down, and asked: "Did you recruit it yourself or did Ma tell you?"
Zhao Xiaomai knew that Jin Yu still had a thorn in his heart. Although these days, Ma often took Ya Zi to visit the house, and sometimes stayed for a meal, but Jin Yu always didn't like her very much and just maintained her face.
You're being polite. After all, Mr. Ma is really not a very likable person. He always likes to make small calculations. Sometimes when he sees something delicious or rare in the house, he can't help but ask for some, and the gold and jade will follow suit.
He fell in love with her, but he still couldn't help nagging Zhao Xiaomai at night.
"I said it myself, the Ma family belongs to the Ma family, and Nizi's surname is Zhao, and she is my niece!" Zhao Xiaomai leaned forward again and smelled the fragrance of Jinyu's body. Although the two children
It’s been almost a year, but she hasn’t been weaned yet, and Jinyu still has a nice milky scent!
Although Jin Yu was a little reluctant, she didn't say anything. She just agreed. There were so many things in this house, and she didn't know when she would be able to remember them. Anyway, she had no feelings for her niece. It was during the Chinese New Year this year.
When Mrs. Ma came to pay New Year's greetings, she saw the back of the child's head. The child didn't even raise his face when he walked.
In order to get Jin Yu to agree, and because Zhao Xiaomai had not eaten meat for more than ten days, he worked extra hard that night.
Liu Fu and the others arrived in the evening. Chu Yiqing asked Shaoyao to take them to the backyard to settle down. Since there was a house where the nursing home used to live, it didn't take much trouble. Early the next morning, they arranged for them to go to the town together.
The townspeople handed them bundles of money one by one and arranged for each of them to go to two towns.
Liu Fu weighed the money in his bag and couldn't help but feel happy. He didn't expect that his first mission would be to do such a big thing. It seemed that Chu Yiqing fully trusted them!
"Don't let me down. After you pay the wages, don't forget to get back the contracts of the long-term workers. Remember, it's for ten years! Also, those short-term workers don't need to pay until they finish their work.
Let’s settle the work together. Now there is a steward in the town. After you go there, you should get along well with them. You can also leave the wages of the part-time workers with them temporarily. They are all people I can trust! One more thing, remember
Check the progress of the sweet potatoes and report to me when you come back. Go early and come back early, okay?" Chu Yiqing gave them his final instructions.
"Miss Chu, don't worry, we know how to do it. We will do it in a smooth manner and not let Miss Chu down!" Liu Fu said quickly.
The other eight people also nodded.
"That's good, I'll wait for you in Shangjia Village!" Chu Yiqing nodded and watched them move forward together.
Ying Qian looked at the backs of the eight people and couldn't help but feel worried, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what if they run away with the money? That's not a small amount!"
Chu Yiqing shook his head slowly, "They are all registered with the government. How can they escape so easily? If they could escape, they would still be hiding in the pig farm. Why do you want me to reuse them? Don't worry, they also
You should understand that this is my test for them, and usually nothing will happen! If something goes wrong, I will only lose a few thousand taels of silver, which is better than having a bigger loss in the future!"
Yingqian nodded: "I hope they won't live up to Miss's expectations of them!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Let's go, there are a lot of things to do today!"
Chu Yiqing looked at the vegetable shop and the ice water shop between heaven and earth one by one. They were all normal. Chu Yiqing was very satisfied. He stood in front of the door between heaven and earth and looked up at Yunding, which was closed during the day. Chu Yiqing was still the same.
I couldn't help but sigh, and was about to go to the bank to exchange some change, when I saw the closed door of Yunding opposite suddenly opened, and the second son trotted over from inside, "Miss Chu, our young master is waiting for the girl inside!"
Chu Yiqing was startled, Shangguan Yu was back? He couldn't explain his feelings, so Chu Yiqing hurriedly took Yingqian to Yunding.
Because of the cold weather in winter, Yunding has been closed for a while. Now that the weather has warmed up, more people are going out for activities at night. Shopkeeper Zhang and his people started to prepare for the opening. On the second floor, Shangguan Yu drank slowly.
Tea, listening to the slow footsteps going upstairs, the hand holding the cup couldn't help but tremble a little.
She's finally here!
Chu Yiqing went upstairs under the leadership of Er Zi. As soon as he entered the private room, he saw Shangguan Yu in navy blue clothes sitting quietly by the window. His originally fair skin seemed to have darkened a lot, but because of this, he
The facial features looked more powerful, a few strands of hair gently brushed his face, and his black eyes were like the night sky that had been static for thousands of years, showing the unchanging scenery indifferently.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Shangguan Yu seemed to be much more mature and steady. Although his expression was surprisingly calm, Chu Yiqing felt a kind of power that was ready to go.
Shangguan Yu turned his head and smiled faintly at her. The warm sunlight fell on his long black hair. His smile was like a crystal in the sunlight, reflecting colorful light.
Chu Yiqing was in a trance for a moment. Shangguan Yu in front of him was familiar yet a little strange.
"Sit down, we may not have seen each other for a long time. Even if you are busy, you still have to show me some respect. Let's drink tea and chat!" Shangguan Yu stood up and pointed to the seat opposite.
Chu Yiqing looked at him and slowly sat down, "Are you back?"
Shangguan Yu nodded, "Yunding is about to reopen. I'm worried about many things, so I came back to take a look! What about you? Didn't you say you were farming for the emperor in Lucheng? Why are you back too?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "You are very well-informed!"
"It's not that you're psychic, you'll know if you want to know! Although I'm in the capital, I know everything about you!" Shangguan Yu's smile couldn't help but feel a little bitter, thinking of the man who fought bloody battles in the heavy rain,
Shangguan Yu couldn't help but feel a little distressed, Li Huang, is it really worth doing this?
"Really? Thank you for your concern!" Chu Yiqing smiled lightly, "What about you? Are you looking good?"
Shangguan Yu turned to look at the world and smiled faintly, "Yiqing, if I say that I want to be the leader of the five major families, what do you think?"
Chu Yiqing smiled lightly. In fact, she had already expected Shangguan Yu's plans for so many days, but she was still a little surprised when he told her personally recently.
"I know, is that why you cooperated with the Fifth Prince?" Chu Yiqing raised her eyes to look at him.
Shangguan Yu never looked back, as if there was something outside the window that made him unable to take his eyes away, "Yes!"
"How's it going? Shangguan Yunyi is not easy to deal with!" Chu Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little more concerned in his words.
Perhaps realizing that concern, Shangguan Yu turned his head and said, "It went smoothly, especially this time Shangguan Yunyi dug his own grave!"
"What do you mean?" Chu Yiqing was a little confused.
"You should know about the burning of the treasury granary, right? I don't think the Fifth Prince would hide it from you!" Shangguan Yu smiled faintly.
"Yes, I know! Could it be that Shangguan Yunyi really did this?" Chu Yiqing also told the truth.
"It's even more outrageous than doing it himself. He was the one who liaised with foreign enemies and told the spies of the Luo Kingdom about the location of the granary!" Shangguan Yu said bitterly.
Chu Yiqing was startled, is this Shangguan Yunyi crazy? He actually did such a thing of collaborating with the enemy!
"It's a pity that his plan was ruined by you! I heard that you planted 10,000 acres of sweet potatoes for the emperor, and the quantity of these sweet potatoes is enough to cover the burned grain!" Shangguan Yu looked at Chu Yiqing intently.
"Sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes. They can fill the stomach, but they don't have the nutrition of food! But there should be no problem with using those sweet potatoes to temporarily solve the current crisis!" Chu Yiqing said.
"Don't you feel that you have pushed yourself into a dangerous situation?" Shangguan Yu's tone gradually increased, "Shangguan Yunyi carefully prepared a plan, even at the risk of communicating with the enemy, but it was simply defeated by you.
Ten thousand acres of sweet potatoes will solve the problem! Shangguan Yunyi should be beating his chest at home right now!"
Chu Yiqing was silent. In fact, she had known for a long time that she had been involved in this whirlpool, from the first day she went to Lucheng!
"You once said you didn't want to meddle in these nosy matters, why did you change your mind again? You even replaced Yin Ying to fight off the enemy!" Shangguan Yu's tone suddenly became excited. He grabbed Chu Yiqing's hand and whispered,
"Is it for him? Is he really worthy of you doing this for him? Have you ever thought about your own safety and Abao's safety?"
Chu Yiqing lowered his eyes and took his hand out of his big hand, "Shangguanyu, whatever you think, you should understand that from the beginning, I have never broken away from this vortex. Unless I stay on top,
Jiacun, like Jinyu, lives a life without three meals a day!"
Shangguan Yu was silent. Yes, he knew that Chu Yiqing's talents would definitely make the court notice her. He also knew that there were some things that a woman could not avoid, but when she saw the silver look on her face
When he put on a mask and wielded a long sword to kill the enemy for Li Huang, he truly felt fear and despair. She could do this for him. With her cold temperament, she could do this for him. Then she could only
This shows that Chu Yiqing really fell in love with Li Huang, and his chances are slim!
"Don't worry, I will protect you and everything you care about, including your family and everything you have worked so hard to build!" Suddenly, Shangguan Yu spoke in a low voice.
Chu Yiqing was startled. She thought Shangguan Yu would be angry and sad. After all, he liked her and he was also a man. But when she heard these words, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Shangguan Yu has indeed changed and is much more mature than before!
"No, there's really no need. Just do your own thing. If possible..." Chu Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little moved, but she couldn't say that sentence. She couldn't help him. Once she took action, her eyes were calm.
It’s hard to maintain your life!
"You don't need to worry about my affairs, I have my own sense of responsibility!" Shangguan Yu whispered, "No matter what, Chu Han is still my territory. I will let my brother take care of your family and your property. You
You can rest assured! But Lucheng, with my current strength, can’t reach it!”
Chu Yiqing smiled: "Thank you, actually you really don't need to..."
"Just treat us as friends, don't be burdened!" Shangguan Yu raised his eyes to look at her, "And the beer you promised me, why haven't you researched it yet?"
Shangguan Yu changed the topic with a smile.
"The beer has been brewed, but unfortunately the quantity is very small, and now is not the time to drink beer. It is too cold. Your Yunding Auntie has opened, and I will send you the wine. The wine is also a new variety, and the quality is...
Much higher than beer!" After changing the topic, Chu Yiqing felt very relaxed. They talked about everything from wine to steak to candlelight dinner. Unknowingly, the two of them had been talking for more than half an hour.
"According to you, candlelight and music are the pleasures?" After saying this, Shangguan Yu seemed to have forgotten the current predicament, and his face returned to the expression as if discussing business. The two of them sat like this, and they actually found the old feeling.
Many feelings.
"Well, Western food is like this! But the music is not the rock style played by Genting. It has to be soft and elegant, such as piano music and so on!" Chu Yiqing said so excitedly that he blurted it out all of a sudden.
"Piano, what kind of piano?" Shangguan Yu asked.
"Uh!" Chu Yiqing was startled and couldn't help but laugh softly.
Although he didn't know why Chu Yiqing was smiling, Shangguan Yu couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that beautiful smile. But when he thought of the purpose of his return this time, he quickly stopped his smile and whispered:
"Anyway, you have to be careful. You are now a thorn in the side of the five major families!"
Chu Yiqing suppressed his smile and nodded: "I know! Thank you for your concern! It's getting late today and I have to go to the bank, so let's stop here first. I'll ask Jasmine to bring the wine and how to arrange the table.
I will also teach her how to cook steak, but there is no need to play piano music, because people don’t know it anyway!”
Shangguan Yu nodded: "Okay!"
Chu Yiqing stood up and said goodbye.
After sending Chu Yiqing out of Yunding, watching Chu Yiqing's carriage gradually go away, Shangguan Yu frowned slightly and whispered, "Send the order, as long as it is Miss Chu's shop, snacks will be served!"
The subordinates responded quickly.
"Boss, when will our Yunding open?" Shopkeeper Zhang came up and asked happily.
Shangguan Yu waved his hand: "You can take care of it yourself. I want to go out to the courtyard. You have the final say on all Yunding's business!"
As Shangguan Yu was talking, his subordinates had already led the horse. Shangguan Yu got on the horse and disappeared with his men, leaving only the reverberation of the horse's hoofs hitting the stone slabs and dust.
"This... the sentimental young master came back just to see Miss Chu!" Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, in the palace, Li Huang had already brought 10 million kilograms of sweet potatoes to the capital, but loaded them into 5,000 cars, completely blocking the entrance to the palace.
"So much?" Li Li looked at the long motorcade and couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. Ten million kilograms was equivalent to the wheat of the previous thirty thousand acres. Unexpectedly, the problem that had troubled him for several days was replaced by this mere ten thousand acres.
The sweet potato on the ground is solved!
The ministers looked at the bulky sweet potatoes and frowned. Some of them had naturally eaten sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are bulky and can indeed be used to fill their stomachs, but it is not a problem to eat them all the time. They are not as good as grains.
!But now that Li Xin is in high spirits, none of them dare to say these words, unless someone can conjure one million catties of grain!
"The yield of sweet potatoes is high, and Chu Yiqing's farming methods are good!" Li Huang reported quietly.
"Okay, okay! My dear friends, how do you think Chu Yiqing should be rewarded this time?" Li Li nodded and went back to sit on the dragon chair, Long Xin said happily.
Li Yu's health has improved a lot and he has begun to participate in government affairs. At this moment, he naturally remained silent.
Liang Wen snorted coldly in his heart and glanced at Chu Zhantian secretly. Sure enough, he saw Chu Zhantian standing up and reporting in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Chu Yiqing is a citizen of Li State.
, it is my duty to help the Emperor solve his problems, but I have an unkind request..."
"Okay, I know what you want to say. Don't you just want Chu Yiqing to recognize her ancestor and return to the clan? Let's do this. Even if Chu Yiqing has made such a great contribution, I will not hold her accountable for her previous disrespect to the royal family even if she has made up for it.
Yes, Chu Yiqing will recognize his ancestor and return to his clan!" Li Xin said happily.
Chu Zhantian quickly stepped forward to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Li nodded, "Okay, okay, now that I have these sweet potatoes, I can sit back and relax!"
The whole court immediately said all kinds of good things, and there were many flatterers and flatterers.
"Your Majesty, there is a shortage of food and grass at the border. I don't know about these sweet potatoes..." Immediately, a minister stood up and reported.
"Yu'er, tomorrow you will bring food and grass to comfort the three armies!" Li Li ordered quietly. As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were all stunned. Although they did not dare to comment, they all looked at Li Yu.
Li Yu was startled. He was the prince, how could he do such a thing? But now that he was guilty, he did not dare to say anything. Just as he was about to step forward to receive the order, he saw Liang Wen step forward quickly and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice.
, it seems a bit..."
"What's there?" Li Li looked at Liang Wen displeased, lowered his face and said, "As a prince, the future emperor must love the people as a son, what's wrong with offering condolences to the armed forces?"
"My son, take the order!" Li Yu quickly stepped forward to receive the order.
