Chapter 489 The long-standing worry finally came true
The man opened his mouth wide, and after a long while he finally uttered: "There is such a thing, could it be that this gentleman knows some magic?"
The stall owner laughed and said, "At first we thought it was too magical and wondered if it was a hoax. But after we actually grew the vegetables, we realized that the method was really good."
"I heard that we have built a reservoir and a device for irrigation here. Those gentlemen from the capital helped to build it. It was also proposed by that Lord Shen, who said that we don't have to worry when there is less rain in the future."
"Yes, otherwise how could he be a high-ranking official in the capital? He must have real ability."
"The key is that they are not only capable, but also humble. A few days ago, they taught us that we cannot plant only one crop on a piece of land for a long time. What is it called... oh, it's called crop rotation. They said that if you only plant one crop, the soil will get tired."
“Why does soil get tired?”
"Don't listen to his nonsense. The official said that we should avoid monoculture, otherwise it will cause soil fatigue."
"Isn't this the same idea?"
"What does this mean..."
"Anyway, there's no need to worry about that. Just know that Lord Shen is here to help us."
"Yes, yes, Lord Shen is our great benefactor. When we have money, we will collect the money to build a golden statue for her."
"You are talking nonsense again. How can a living person be made into a golden statue? It will reduce his fortune."
"Mrs. Shen is not an ordinary person. She is a fairy who has descended to earth and is blessed by the gods in heaven."
"It is said that this is just a pilot project. These methods of growing vegetables and grains will be promoted throughout Daliang. This is a major event that will benefit the people of the whole country. Lord Shen has made such a great contribution, which is naturally incomparable to ordinary people. In this case, it is nothing to build a golden statue for her."
"That's right. Lady Shen is not a mortal. She is certainly qualified to build a golden statue."
"Okay, if everyone really wants to build a golden statue for Lord Shen, I will also contribute."
The onlookers kept talking and working, and they all squatted down to pick out the vegetables they wanted.
After a while, there were not many vegetables left on the stall.
Most of the products were sold right after the stall was opened, and the stall owner couldn't stop smiling.
I don’t know if Lady Shen is a fairy who has descended to earth, but she is definitely the God of Wealth.
If he really wants to make a golden statue for her, he will have to take out silver.
Since the statue has already been made of gold, it would be okay to add a gold ingot in its hand.
Holding gold ingots in his hands, this is the God of Wealth.
Several men quietly retreated from the crowd. The middle-aged man in the lead looked at the juicy vegetables with an ambiguous smile on his face.

In the teahouse
Chen Huazheng sat upright at a window seat on the second floor, holding a teacup lightly in her hand, her eyes fixed on the street.
Emperor Jingning knew that the matter in Yuzhang County was settled, and ordered Shen Huazheng and others to return to the capital.
They have already arranged all matters here, explained everything that needs to be explained, and plan to set off the day after tomorrow.
Since they haven't gone back yet, Shen Huazheng and the other two have made an appointment to go shopping together again today.
Chen Huazheng still had some finishing work to do today, and she had an appointment with Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying to meet here.
Qingzhi and Qingtang stood on either side of Shen Huazheng respectively, while Xuanxing and the captain of the guards stood behind them with vigilant looks.
Shen Huazheng blew on the tea and took a sip.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion downstairs -
"Someone is snatching a child! Someone, come quickly! Someone is snatching a child in the street!"
"Catch him!"
Shen Huazheng looked downstairs from the window and saw a thin black shadow rushing past quickly, and the crowd screamed and scattered.
Accompanied by the terrified cries of women and the cries of children, stalls were knocked over one after another, eggs, vegetables and fruits rolled all over the ground, and the whole place was in a mess.
Shen Huazheng: "Xuanxing, go and help."
Xuan Xing: "Yes, sir!"
Seeing Xuan Xing chasing after the thief, Chen Huazheng put down the teacup.
Suddenly, several figures suddenly broke into the teahouse, jumped up, and headed straight for Shen Huazheng’s direction, causing screams in the teahouse.
"Protect Lord Shen!"
The captain of the guards drew out his sword with a "swish" and stood in front of Shen Huazheng.
The other guards also held long swords and protected Shen Huazheng.
The strange thing was that when those people came up to them, they didn't rush towards them, but walked around the second floor.
Those people were very agile. They flipped over using the stair railing and rushed down from the other side.
One of them knocked over the tea and snacks on the next table while fleeing, and took advantage of the chaos to quickly escape downstairs.
The man walked very quickly and disappeared at the stairs in an instant.
"Two of you stay here, and two of you will chase after me!"
The captain of the guards shouted in a low voice and hurriedly chased after those people.
As soon as he finished speaking, his two subordinates followed him and chased after him.
Shen Huazheng frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
But before she could think about it, a strange fragrance quietly spread in the air around her -
Qingzhi was about to say something when suddenly his vision went dark and he felt dizzy.
Qingtang's fingertips trembled slightly, and his consciousness suddenly became hazy.
