Chapter 266 Fatal Miss
"Without Zhu Xuntao, Liuli would still be a tribute that only the emperor could have in the Yong Dynasty."
"But now, even though these things are still valuable, they are no longer so scarce."
Thinking about how much he had spent to change the windows in the study and other places into glass windows, and no longer using window paper,
the master could fully imagine the huge benefits.
Yong had money, and now there were new grains. It was
a godsend opportunity, and in the end, he didn't know who would get it.
In short, it seemed that it was difficult for him to get the opportunity.
"Master, I have failed to do my job well and am guilty of death. Please punish me."
After understanding everything, the subordinate was ashamed.
If he had known earlier how important these clods of earth were, he should have destroyed everything in those rooms at the first time, even at the risk of his own life.
Now, it's too late for him to die.
"Okay."
The master couldn't really take this man's life. Everything was beyond his expectations.
To be honest, it wasn't the subordinate's fault.
Even he couldn't take the clods of earth seriously before verifying that they were new grains.
After all, they were too inconspicuous.
"It seems that the positions of the emperor and the prince are relatively stable."
"It's just a matter of waiting a few more days. I'm younger than them and I can afford to wait."
He couldn't give up.
So, he kept waiting and continued to plan.
One day, he would get everything he wanted.
Zhu Xuntao's small farm was attacked, and the prince was unwilling to wait even for one night.
He immediately passed the news to Xiao Jingzhan and asked Xiao Jingzhan to tell Zhu Xuntao so that Zhu Xuntao would have peace of mind.
"What? Someone came to mess up such an old and shabby house of mine. What did they like about it?"
Early the next morning, Zhu Xuntao rubbed her sleepy eyes, wondering
why Xiao Jingzhan had to wake her up today when he always went to court quietly and never asked for her to serve him.
Soon, Xiao Jingzhan cleared Zhu Xuntao
's confusion. Xiao Jingzhan had kept the news to himself until the next day.
Xiao Jingzhan himself woke up in the middle of the night and learned about the situation.
"What do you think?"
Xiao Jingzhan was already accustomed to Zhu Xuntao's rough approach:
"What good things are there in your little farm? Others may not know, but you know it, don't you?"
"Are they really not worth it for others to touch them?"
If Zhu Xuntao had informed them earlier, they wouldn't have been so frightened last night.
The people sent by the prince last night would not have dared to sleep all night after encountering such a thing.
Zhu Xuntao: "..."
"It's not that there are no good things in my little farm."
"But if I didn't tell you about those things, no one would know about them, and how could they know their importance?"
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask Mi Luo later."
She and Uncle Qian had been searching for several years, but they only found potatoes, not sweet potatoes and corn.
Therefore, she was very sure that no one in the Great Yong Dynasty knew about potatoes.
Apart from potatoes, there was really nothing else in the small village that could attract people.
"Has Miluo seen it?!"
Zhu Xuntao didn't know the severity of the matter, and Xiao Jingzhan could understand it.
But Xiao Miluo was so ignorant of the severity of the matter that Xiao Jingzhan wanted to scold her.
How could my younger sister mention such an important matter? She never mentioned it to them.
Xiao Miluo was really wronged to be criticized by Xiao Jingzhan.
Just like Zhu Xuntao said, if she didn't explain, how would Xiao Miluo know what potatoes were.
Even when she and Xiao Chenliang accompanied Zhu Xuntao to the small village,
when they passed by, they did see that the people in the village seemed to be harvesting yellow lumps in the fields.
But she didn't know what it was used for.
At that time, everyone's attention was focused on the glass and the newly built kang.
Xiao Miluo really couldn't spare the attention to the lumps of earth dug up from the ground.
Xiao Jingzhan was a good brother. He even dragged Zhu Xuntao up, so how could he let Xiao Miluo, his biological sister, go?
Xiao Miluo, who was half asleep, resisted the urge to yawn and asked Xiao Jingzhan:
"Brother, shouldn't you go to the morning court with dad? Why haven't you left yet? Why did you wake me up?"
"Let me ask you..."
Xiao Jingzhan told him about the potatoes:
"Do you still remember?"
After being reminded, Xiao Miluo actually got up:
"So the lumps of earth I saw at that time were the potato eggs my sister-in-law mentioned?"
"At that time, I thought the tenants were turning the soil and digging out the stones in the soil so that they could plant something next year..."
"Brother, don't blame me. When they were covered with mud, they looked like gravel."
"And those people just dig with a shovel, and they put them in baskets."
She never thought that such a large number of grains could be grains...
If she knew earlier, how could she not tell her family?
She ran to her sister-in-law and asked her where she got these good things.
"Really?"
Some things were in the past, and Xiao Jingzhan didn't want to pursue them.
He called Xiao Miluo over at this time in order to learn more about the situation of potatoes.
According to Zhu Xuntao, the time Xiao Miluo went there, he happened to encounter a bumper harvest of potatoes.
Now, in addition to Zhu Xuntao's description, Xiao Jingzhan also needs what others have seen and heard to prove to the prince that
potatoes are indeed a high-yield crop.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Miluo tried hard to recall what he saw and heard that day, and described it as detailed as possible:
"It seems, it seems to be quite a lot."
"I was only in the house for a short time, and I didn't see the tenants digging much land, but the potato eggs they put aside were piled up so high..."
Just...
In fact, the matter of potato eggs, sister-in-law did not tell other people in the house, but took her to see it with her own eyes.
It turned out that she was the first person to know about Potato Egg!
As expected, she is the most important person in my sister-in-law's heart!!
"Little fool."
Xiao Jingzhan sighed. No matter what, the final result is good.
My little sister saw it with her own eyes, so it must be right.
"Good, very good."
Zhu Xuntao's words were confirmed again. The prince clapped his hands with joy.
"What a good Zhu Xuntao, she is really patient."
"I thought that since we can hear her voice, she has nothing to hide in front of us. In the end, I underestimated Zhu Xuntao."
When Potato Egg was harvested, it was the time when Kang was in full swing in the Dayong Dynasty.
