The eldest princess showed a hint of relief and a smile in her eyes. She was about to ask about the potato harvest when she suddenly heard the sound of children playing outside.

"I'm not a bastard! You are the bastards."

"Little bastard, your mother ran away and doesn't want you anymore!"

"Lululu, you are a motherless bastard!"

The storyteller walked out with a rather unhappy look on his face.

The village chief was also planning to call the children to play somewhere else, but he must not delay the eldest princess's important business.

"Whose child is this? He is so ignorant."

The eldest princess stood up suddenly and said, "No need to drive them away. I'll go and take a look too."

When the princess, the village chief and others came outside, they saw five or six children fighting in a group.

One of the thin little boys was particularly ferocious. He looked thinner than the other children, but he was the strongest and he pinned all the other children under him and beat them.

"If you dare to call me a bastard again, I will smash your teeth."

The other children were beaten and howling.

Seeing the village chief coming out, he burst into tears and begged for help: "Wow, woo, woo, woo, uncle village chief, the tree hit us again!"

"Uncle Village Chief, help! Dashu has gone crazy!"

Upon seeing this, the village chief did not even bother to ask the princess for permission and hurried over to pull the children apart.

After being pulled away, the man called Dashu actually rushed over again and beat up several children again before he stopped out of relief.

The children's crying soon attracted their parents, and the village chief hurriedly asked the parents to take their children back.

Only the child named Dashu was still standing there with his fists clenched and an angry face, staring at the departing children. No parents came to take him away.

Seeing the child standing there stubbornly, the eldest princess couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

This child seems to be very strong?

The eldest princess noticed that his clothes were too short, revealing his skinny calves, and his clothes were not very clean, as if no one had helped him wash his clothes.

It can be seen that this child is having a very hard time.

"What's wrong with this kid?"

The village chief said with pity in his eyes: "This child's mother eloped with a man in the village after giving birth to him."

"My mother didn't elope! I'm not a bastard!" The boy suddenly raised his head, bit his lip and retorted to the village chief.

The village chief paused for a moment, and then omitted the story of the child's mother eloping, and continued:

"This child has lived with his father since he was young, but his father is a rough man. There is no woman in the family. How can he take care of such a child?"

"The child's father has a lame leg and has children to take care of, so it's hard for him to find a job outside. I can only do odd jobs in the village occasionally."

"Sometimes, the villagers felt sorry for the father and son and gave them some food."

"Both father and son have had hard lives. The father broke his leg when he was young, and the son... However, they work very hard. This little guy, probably because he has been helping with the work since he was young, is very strong. He is the one who fills the family water tank."

"We went up the mountain to chop firewood. We had to rest halfway through carrying a load of firewood. This little guy carried the firewood and walked very fast..."

The counselor standing next to the princess took a look at the child and said to her meaningfully, "Princess, this child is so strong at such a young age. If you train him well, he will definitely be a talented person in the future."

The eldest princess nodded in agreement; she also saw the potential of this child.

If you keep it with you and train it well, it might be of great use in the future.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess ordered: "You will go to the child's home later and ask him if he is willing to follow me."

At the princess's signal, the guards and the village chief sent the child home together.

The eldest princess found a deserted place and started to confirm with Gu Sang via video link.

"bite!"

"Connection open!"

As soon as the video was connected, the princess took out a cooled potato and showed it to Gu Sang: "Sangsang, do you think this is the potato you were talking about?"

Gu Sang just came back from Chen Yun's house.

When she heard the word "potato", she immediately looked at the person on the video carefully, her eyes flashing with surprise: "That's it, it's indeed a potato."

The eldest princess smiled and felt more confident.

She placed the potatoes on the table and analyzed to Gu Sang, "Before coming here, I originally wanted to monopolize potatoes, just like last time in Lingnan."

"But from what I know, the people in this village have already realized that potatoes are food that can fill the stomach."

"They can sell us some farming vines, but it's impossible for them to completely monopolize the market!"

Gu Sang had already sat on the sofa at this time.

After hearing what the princess said, she propped up her chin and thought for a moment: "As long as Pei Changying doesn't know that there are potato vines in Fujian, it's fine."

"Besides, the imperial army suffered a crushing defeat last time, so he's probably desperately looking for craftsmen to make cannons."

"There's no time to send any more people out to look for potatoes."

I think so.

What a pity!

Without Gu Sang's help, it would have been impossible for the ancients to research and unearth the cannon in such a short time!

When the princess thought of Pei Changying's actions, a look of worry flashed across her face: "Sangsang, last time in Liujiang City, you spoke up for me. Did Pei Changying doubt you?"

"Now it's both cannons and potatoes. Pei Changying is suspicious by nature, and I'm afraid he will vent his suspicion and anger on you this time."

"I'm afraid he'll get so angry by then that he'll threaten Concubine Li's life."

"We must come up with a foolproof plan to save Li Bin this time."

Gu Sang nodded carefully. The thought of Li Bin being humiliated made her want to stab Pei Changying to death. "Li Bin is being monitored by Pei Changying. It's not easy for me to contact her privately, but there must be a way."

"I will never let what happened to Zhao Ronghua happen again."

Last time, the officials of Liujiang City did not tell Pei Changying the actual situation.

Pei Changying therefore did not doubt her.

But this time, she had to find a way to deal with the matter between Dapao and Tudou.

But there is no rush. As long as she doesn't take the initiative to contact Pei Changying, even if Pei Changying wants to contact her, he won't be able to do so at any time.

Gu Sang's eyes once again fell on the potatoes on the table. Seeing that they were eating potatoes as a meal, he couldn't help but make a suggestion to the princess.

Gu Sang: "Wei Qi, potatoes can not only be eaten directly, but also used as a side dish."

"Let me show you the recipe."

Gu Sang returned to the room, turned on the computer, and searched for several potato recipes for the princess.

The princess looked at the computer and sighed: "Computers in your later generations are so convenient. If you want to know something, you don't need to go out, you can just search on the computer."

"Here, if we want to find something, we have to search almost the entire library."

Gu Sang casually said, "After your coronation ceremony, you can have a dictionary built to compile all the knowledge in the world. Then you can use it anytime you want."

The eldest princess' eyes lit up: "Good idea."
