This time, Dazhu was much more skilled at driving than before. What used to be an hour's journey by oxcart now only took half an hour for them to get home.

Dazhu was clearly satisfied with the speed of the carriage and also liked the majestic and handsome black horse.

As soon as we got home, I quickly led the horse to the stable, fed it water and hay, and treated it like a precious treasure.

Wan Shu smiled, not wanting to dampen his enthusiasm, and carried the flowers into the house.

Er Ya and Si Ya happened to be home and were puzzled to see her carrying two baskets of gardenias.

"Mother, why did you buy so many flowers? Gardenias seem to be quite expensive. If you like them, we can grow some ourselves."

If we're going to produce them on a large scale in the future, it's definitely better to grow our own expensive raw materials like flowers.

"Okay, when you have time, go buy some flower seeds and plant them, at least one acre!"

"What?! A mu of land?!"

Not only were Er Ya and S Ya stunned, but even Emperor Hongxing was somewhat surprised.

This is an acre of land, and instead of growing crops, it's used to grow flowers. That's really... foolish.

Flowers sold at the market are certainly more expensive.

The reasons for its high price are simply twofold.

First, there are few flower vendors.

Second, those who buy flowers are all ladies and young women from wealthy families.

To put it bluntly, it's a special supply sold exclusively to a select group of wealthy people. Once there's an oversupply, it won't fetch a good price, or it might even become unsellable altogether.

As a farmer, to want to take all the land meant for growing grain and plant flowers is truly utterly foolish!
