Chapter 246 He Feels Something Is Wrong

Someone here immediately shouted back, "The jars are filled with oil, and the pots are filled with salt. As for what's in the sacks, they're not grain. The princess said they're not grain, but seeds."

No one was interested in the seeds. After all, no one knew what kind of seeds they were, and it was difficult to grow food in the Ghost Prison.

Potatoes were a surprise to them.

"Where did all this oil and salt come from? Is there a trading point for the Xie family in this forest? These were all robbed by the princess and you guys."

Yun Fu's eyebrows twitched a few times. Wait, is the image she had in their minds that of a female bandit who liked to rob other people's supplies?

"These supplies were not looted. General Qi accidentally found them in the woods. The princess is going to distribute them to everyone."

This was something Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou had discussed before.

They themselves have no shortage of supplies such as oil and salt.

So, the two of them discussed and decided to distribute this batch of supplies to several villages in the ninth and eighth class areas.

Although it’s not much, it’s enough to keep everyone going for a while.

After planting these seeds, she will find a way to solve the problem of material transactions.

"If we share it among everyone, what will we have to exchange for it?"

In the Ghost Prison, the most scarce supplies are oil and salt. Everyone is worried that even if they want to exchange such precious supplies, it will not be their turn.

Because they cannot produce equally precious materials to exchange for them.

Yun Fu glanced at the sacks of seeds and said, "You don't have to exchange any supplies, but you need to exchange your labor."

"Labor?" These people had no idea what Yun Fu meant by labor. "What is that?"

Yun Fu explained, "Simply put, it's about your ability to do things. I need you to spend some time helping me with things within your ability. In exchange, I'll give you oil and salt."

As I said, she doesn't keep people who eat for free here.

"What does the princess need us to do? What if the princess wants us to do something we don't know how to do? Then we won't get any oil or salt."

Yun Fu said, "Don't worry, what I want you to do is very simple. Even if you don't know how to do it, I will ask someone to teach you."

"What is it?"

Everyone became more and more curious.

Seeing more and more people gathering around, Yun Fu stopped keeping them in suspense.

Pointing to the pile of seeds, he said, "Each of you take some seeds back and sow them according to my instructions. When the harvest comes, I want 30% of them. Are you willing?"

"Farming?" After listening to this, some people asked again with some uncertainty.

"That's right, it's farming. But you need to follow my requirements, instead of planting randomly." Yun Fu didn't want these seeds that she had worked so hard to get out of the space to be wasted by them.

Promising them 70% of the profits was also to motivate them.

As for the 30%, Yun Fu certainly had enough, but if she didn't want the 30% profit, she was afraid that these people would fool her.

"Yes, we do."

“I want to sign up!”

“I want to sign up too!”

…

Yun Fu said, "You won't be able to plant all these seeds. Spread the news and let everyone in the villages of the Ninth and Eighth Districts know."

——

Everyone got the news and rushed to Nanhuozhai as soon as possible.

When Mu Yong heard that Yun Fu and the others had obtained a new batch of seeds, he took the group of farming experts from the ninth district and set off overnight.

Even his eldest grandson, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was not attracted by those seeds.

"The old man is here, don't you want to go see Xiao Lingyun?"

"No need to look. I feel very relieved to have that brat with you. Yun girl, let's take a look at these seeds."

Yun Fu smiled helplessly. Not wanting to spoil the old man's fun, she asked someone to open the bags, take out some of the seeds, and put them on a plate.

"Old man, you are very knowledgeable. Take a look. Have you seen these seeds before?"

Yunfu couldn't just point at the seeds and say, "This is rice, that's corn, and those are soybeans."

She was afraid that Qi Hanzhou, who was standing beside her, would suspect her.

All the hard work she had put into the plays before and the reasonable arrangements were not in vain.

"Let me take a closer look." Mu Yong picked up the seeds one by one and placed them in the palm of his hand to observe them.

Pointing to the rice seeds, he said, "These look a bit like rice seeds, but these seeds are larger and fuller than the rice seeds we usually see, and there's no sand or impurities in them. The other two are probably corn and bean seeds, but they're also different from the seeds we usually see."

Yun Fu had an expression of humbly seeking knowledge: "Why are they different? Please explain it in more detail, old man."

Mu Yong stroked his graying beard. "From my perspective, these are all good things. Even in the emperor's kitchen, you can't find such good rice, corn, and beans. If we plant these as seeds, we might get a good harvest, or we might not get anything at all. After all, this is the Ghostly Prison. Princess, you better think carefully."

Yun Fu understood what he meant. The old man was afraid that everyone would work hard for a long time but end up with nothing, and would blame her for the work. In the end, she would have a bad reputation.

It would be better to just keep the things and eat them as food.

After all, these seeds are food.

But Yunfu took all this trouble to take out these seeds, wasn't it just for everyone to plant them?

"Grandpa, I've figured it out. If we keep these things, we won't be able to eat them for long. Once they're eaten, there'll be nothing left. But if we plant them, there's a chance they'll grow something, and maybe even more people won't have to go hungry. Even if there's a 10% chance, I want to give it a try."

"I'm short-sighted." Mu Yong clasped his fists.

Yun Fu felt it was time to mention her external plug-in, the Encyclopedia.

"Actually, I had read about how to better grow crops like rice, corn, and beans in an encyclopedia before, so I thought I'd give it a try."

Mu Yong was immersed in joy and did not doubt her.

But Qi Hanzhou's eyes darkened slightly, and he finally had the answer to the thing that he had always felt was wrong.

Since when did he feel something was wrong?

By the way, it started when the little girl came back from collecting herbs and said she saw a big snake.

Given the little girl's usual skills, if she really wanted the snake gall, how could a snake slip away from under her nose?
