Chapter 86



Tang Yiqian ordered his men to tie up the pond, squatted down, and personally dug the potatoes out of the water with his hands. Looking at the fist-sized potatoes, and how many potatoes grew on one plant, he dug a few more plants and saw that each plant had several potatoes. He could no longer maintain his cold mask, and smiled happily at Qin Ruchu, "Chuchu, you go to the palace now and report to His Majesty, and ask him to send someone over."

Lest others accuse them of deceiving the king.

In fact, he would never have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Qin Ruchu said that potatoes can not only be used as a vegetable, but also as a staple food.

Now, the people under the throne can have enough to eat.

Qin Ruchu thought about it for a moment and understood what he meant. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now."

In fact, she wanted to stay here, but her martial arts value was not high. If someone came to make trouble, she would not be able to protect the potatoes, so it was best for her to report the news.

After all, she has a protection mechanism, so even if someone attacks her, they can't do anything to her.

After four hours of bumpy ride, she arrived at the palace gate. Oh, she rode a horse when she came back, so the speed was a little faster.

At this time, the palace gates were closed, but she was an official and could pass the sign to others, so naturally someone would report it to the emperor.

"Remember to tell His Majesty that this matter is very, very, very important."

She said "very" three times in a row.

The guard didn't listen to Qin Ruchu's thoughts and knew her specialness. He nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."

Good man, he did not treat her perfunctorily because of her low official position. Qin Ruchu was almost moved to tears.

The guard ran all the way to the imperial study and told the emperor everything that had happened.

The emperor and the prince looked at each other and said, "Hurry up and announce it."

I don’t know what urgent matter it is that Qin Ruchu wants to visit at this time.

The prince was equally curious.

As the two were curious, Qin Ruchu trotted in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Long live the emperor."

"May your highness live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."

"Stand up." The emperor made a gesture to stand up.

Qin Ruchu stood up and said to the emperor with his head down: "Your Majesty, I have discovered a high-yield grain."

In fact, it was not her who discovered it, but I said it this way for the sake of simplicity. Anyway, it will have to be explained in the end, so it doesn't matter.

This was indeed a big deal. The emperor suppressed his excitement and asked, "How productive is it?"

Qin Ruchu said a number.

"Is it really that many?" The emperor stood up excitedly.

If it was a few hundred pounds more, he wouldn't be so excited, but now it's several thousand pounds more.

Several thousand kilograms, what does that mean?

It is a concept that can be solved by food and drink.

It is the concept of national stability.

It is a concept that left his name in history.

It would be strange if he wasn't excited.

"I, your humble servant, dare not deceive you." Qin Ruchu knelt down again.

"Okay, okay." The emperor paced back and forth excitedly.

The prince looked at him losing his composure, resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and asked, "Master Qin, where is the food now?"

"Yes, yes, where is the food?"

He was really so overwhelmed that he forgot to ask such an important question.

"In the suburbs." Qin Ruchu glanced at the sky. It was already dark. At this time, the city gates were closed.

"Father, I will go with Lord Qin." The prince knelt down with his fists clasped.

It is unrealistic for the emperor to leave the palace, it would be better for him to go there.

The emperor understood this. If he left the palace, it would cause too much trouble. What if the enemy's spies found out and tried to assassinate him? If it wasn't an assassination, what if they stole his high-yield grain? So he nodded and said, "Okay, you and Qin Aiqing leave the palace immediately and bring back the high-yield grain."

"I obey your command."

The prince and Qin Ruchu left the palace together. Qin Ruchu got on the prince's luxurious carriage again. Riding a horse was too bumpy, so the prince took care of her butt and allowed her to ride in the carriage.

The prince asked excitedly, "Master Qin, how did you discover the high-yield grain?"

It's amazing that she could find high-yield grain without leaving Beijing. How embarrassing for those who go out to sea?

Qin Ruchu did not dare to hide it and told him everything: "Your Highness, tell me, with such a great contribution, can Chi Yue be an official in the court?"

Hearing the test in her words, the prince did not get angry, but smiled and said, "Yes."

The imperial court has a department dedicated to managing navigation, and Chi Yue can work there.

However, it was impossible for her to stay peacefully. Because of her courageous and careful character, her father would let her go to sea again.

She can bring back high-yield food and other good things.

But there is no need to tell Qin Ruchu about this.

"Then I hope Your Highness can help me by saying a few good words?" Qin Ruchu became more and more demanding.

The prince laughed angrily: "Master Qin really knows how to climb up the pole."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Qin Ruchu bowed to him.

Prince: “…” Is he complimenting her?

At midnight, the prince finally arrived at the manor.

Qin Ruchu finally realized the speed of ancient times. In fact, the distance was not far. If you drive nowadays, it would take three hours. In ancient times, the time was half as long.

She got off the carriage with a laugh: "We are finally here."

The prince looked at her bold movements and silently looked away. Lord Qin was really not fussy about details.

He put his hands behind his back and walked in with big strides.

The lights in the manor were bright.

Tang Yiqian and his gang had just finished digging the potatoes. There was no other way because Chi Yue's entire farm was planted with potatoes. Fortunately, she hired many people to take care of it, and they finished digging together. Otherwise, if they just relied on a few people, who knows how long it would take to finish digging.

The prince looked at the mountain of grain and opened his mouth wide: "So much? It must have been grown by many people."

"It was grown on this farm."

"A manor?"

"Yes, a manor."

After hearing Tang Yiqian's words, the prince's heart was beating wildly. Hearing about it was one thing, but seeing it in person was another. It was so shocking that a small village could have so much food.

If it were a big house...

Tang Yiqian looked at the prince's uneasiness very calmly, because this was how he looked when he first saw him. It was too shocking, okay?

It's not that he hasn't seen so much food before, but he has never seen such a small farm produce so much food.

꽭, it's going to change.

He could fully imagine what a shock it would cause if the news got out.

The prince was only excited for a few seconds, then he calmed down and ordered the people who followed him: "Hurry, load the car."

Take advantage of the dead of night to quickly transport the food back to avoid having too much sleep.

Such a large amount of food must be placed in the royal granary to be safe.

Everyone loaded the car in an orderly manner.

The people who came were all the prince's personal soldiers, well-trained, and no matter how shocked they were in their hearts, they did not show it on their faces.

Loading the car in silence.

In fact, you can tell how excited they are by the way their facial muscles twitch from time to time.

Food.

They have families.

Moreover, most of the family members are ordinary people, otherwise how could they do such a life-threatening job?

Even so, life is very tight.

They were afraid that something might happen to them and their families would have no food to eat.
