Han Yu, who had previously stiffened his neck and looked unconvinced.
After getting beaten, he finally calmed down and stood in front of Wei Yunlan and Princess Daning, behaving obediently and not daring to say a word more.
The head of the Han family was speechless about this.
He spoke kindly and gently to Han Yu, who was always finding fault with him. Whenever he was unhappy, he would go to the old lady to complain.
It seems that, still... I didn't beat him enough.
Seeing that the Patriarch of the Han family looked as if he had realized something, Princess Daning nodded seriously, "If you don't punish your children, they won't become useful. Patriarch Han can follow this example when teaching the younger generation in the future."
Upon hearing this, Han Yu couldn't help but step back two steps, trying hard to avoid the three people sitting there noticing him.
If he had known that the two women in the inn were so difficult to deal with, he should not have believed Kang Jing's nonsense.
Now, I can’t leave even if I want to.
"Master Han has always been concerned about the people of Hanzhou. Good officials like you are rare nowadays." Wei Yunlan has already prepared the grain seeds to be allocated to Hanzhou.
"We can hand over the grain seeds to Patriarch Han, but Patriarch Han has to guarantee to the two of us that all the grain seeds must be planted within the area we agreed upon and cannot be used elsewhere."
Wei Yunlan had two considerations in making this agreement.
One is to try to avoid the area where the Hanzhou sinkhole occurred. Of course, it cannot be avoided completely, but there are still about three years since the Hanzhou sinkhole disaster in the previous life. It is enough to harvest six crops of potatoes if you hurry. By stepping up planting now, we can increase our food reserves and better resist future disasters.
The second is to prevent Kangzhou and Fuzhou from getting their hands on these new grain varieties.
The head of the Han family is honest and trustworthy, but the same cannot be said for Kangzhou and Fuzhou.
Although the people of Kangzhou and Fuzhou are also citizens of Dayong, everything is still uncertain now. Helping them might end up hurting yourself.
It would be better to wait a little longer. As soon as the results come out in the west, Kangzhou and Fuzhou will know what to choose. Even if the Kang and Fu families cannot make the right choice, the people in the state should know who allows them to live a stable and worry-free life.
After thinking about what Wei Yunlan said, the head of the Han family understood it.
After a moment's silence, he replied solemnly: "Han can guarantee it."
Most of the fertile farmland in Hanzhou is located in the area south of the city. The head of the Han family originally wanted to entrust the task of planting new crops to the farms in that area. However, after looking at the geomancy map, Wei Yunlan pointed to a piece of wasteland west of the city.
This place is adjacent to a sandstone area with little water flowing through it. It is drier than other areas in the state, and the grain output is far less than the area that the head of the Han family has just circled out.
"Potatoes are not very demanding in terms of growing conditions, nor do they require overly moist soil. The area I have marked is just right."
Wei Yunlan paused for a moment, then continued, "We will stay in Hanzhou for a few days. We ask the Han family master to gather some experienced farmers here as soon as possible. The people we bring will pass on our experience in sowing and tending new grains to them."
The head of the Han family is worthy of being a person who was able to turn the tide and protect the people of an entire state during a disaster in his previous life. He is extremely proactive.
As soon as he reached an agreement with Wei Yunlan and his party, he sent two hundred soldiers from the palace to various places in Hanzhou that day and gathered more than fifty experienced old farmers. In just one day, all these people were sent to Qincheng at full speed.
As for teaching his nephew, after receiving guidance from Wei Yunlan and Princess Daning, he seemed to have finally gotten the point.
Han Yu, who tried to escape, was placed under house arrest that day, and all the servants and guards around him were replaced. Even the two "martial arts masters" left by the old lady with him were temporarily separated.
I thought it was just a simple household chore of disciplining my nephew.
But after this review, he discovered a lot of even more shocking news.
It turned out that he pitied his father's parents who died early and treated him as his own nephew, but secretly hated him. Because of this, he was used by Kang Jing, the young master of the Kang family, and revealed many secrets of their Han family.
Even last year, a fall from a horse, which he mistakenly thought was an accident, was actually not an accident, but a "setup" set by his nephew and Kang Jing.
It's all about taking his life.
If he hadn't been so lucky and had a good life, there happened to be a patch of dry grass where he fell off the horse and didn't hit any vital parts. Otherwise, he would have become a ghost by now. How could he still be standing here?
He originally thought that his nephew was just naughty, but he didn't expect that he was really vicious.
Even though the head of the Han family was well-mannered, he was unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
He took two steps at a time and went up the stairs to the room where Han Yu was under house arrest. He kicked the door open.
Han Yu, who was lying on the bed groaning in pain from the beating on his back and buttocks, was startled when he saw the door open.
After seeing that the person who came in was the patriarch of the Han family, he breathed a sigh of relief and groaned in reproach, "Second Uncle, why are you making such a big noise? I was just about to fall asleep!"
"Fuck your mother!" The head of the Han family strode forward, grabbed Han Yu by the collar, and slapped him in the face.
Han Yu's head buzzed after being hit.
Then he widened his eyes in disbelief, as if he was meeting his second uncle for the first time.
In his eyes, his second uncle who took over his father's position as the head of the family has always been a gentle and elegant man with a smiling face. As far as he can remember, he has never seen his second uncle turn his face against anyone, let alone hit or scold anyone.
"Second Uncle, have you been bewitched?"
The head of the Han family couldn't help but slap him again.
It is better to leave a pair of symmetrical marks on both sides of the cheeks.
"I think you've been bewitched!"
"Han Yu, I am your uncle, how dare you collude with outsiders to kill me?"
"Do you think that Kang Jing is really a good person? If you kill me, he will really help you take the position of the head of the family and let you do whatever you want in Hanzhou?"
"Innocent!"
I never thought in this direction before. Now knowing what Han Yu did behind his back, following these clues, the head of the Han family quickly figured out why Han Yu hated him so much.
"Do you think that I was the one who caused your parents' death?"
Han Yu was stunned when he heard this.
He didn't expect that his second uncle would ask this question openly.
A look of hatred emerged from his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Isn't it?"
"Back then, when you were traveling abroad, you wrote to my father and invited him to Lingshan. Later, my father died there, and my mother was so sad that she died of two deaths. When you returned to the capital, you took over my father's position and became the head of the Han family."
At this moment, Han Yu was like a wolf that smelled blood, staring at the head of the Han family with his eyes, "Second uncle, do you dare to say that my father was not killed by you?"
