Chapter 335: Yu Qianli regains her identity, Xiao Ying has seen many beauties...
Meeting the emperor's impatient gaze, he hurriedly reported what he knew.
"Your Majesty, I remember this very clearly. Potatoes only take four months to mature in spring, summer, and autumn."
"But right now, because of the cold weather, I'm afraid it will take another month to grow. But no matter what, it will definitely be ripe next month."
"Yun'an County harvested over 60,000 kilograms of grain, all of which was planted as seeds. They probably planted 300 to 400 mu!"
The emperor's eyes lit up as he listened. "Are you sure there are three or four hundred acres? How many kilograms of potatoes can we harvest?"
"We should be able to harvest..."
Sun Yunjing racked his brains to calculate, but he hesitated for a long time and still couldn't figure it out.
Then a gentle and elegant voice replied, "If we calculate based on an average of 6,000 catties, we should be able to harvest 1.8 million to 2.4 million catties."
"If converted into stones, it would be about 15,000 to 20,000 stones."
The person who answered was Ning Yuanfeng, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and was supposed to help his superiors out of the predicament.
"That's right, it's the number Minister Ning mentioned!"
Sun Yunjing immediately gave him a grateful look, and Ning Yuanfeng smiled casually.
When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials were shocked by this number.
It is incredible that three or four hundred acres of potatoes can yield 15,000 to 20,000 dan of grain, which is equivalent to a quarter of the current national treasury.
"It's a shame it's still too little." Someone else quickly shook their head, "Not to mention we have to save these for seed, even if we ship them all to the border, they won't last more than a few days."
The emperor quickly calmed down after his excitement. This was true. The court could not pin all its hopes on this.
"Anyway, it's better than nothing."
"I have ordered my men to go to Yun'an County immediately and make sure to understand the actual planting conditions and harvest time of the potatoes."
"When we buy half of it, we'll send it to Qingzhou. No one is allowed to stop us!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" All the officials shouted in unison, agreeing unanimously.
Prime Minister Ning smiled and said: Son and niece, this is all I can do to help you.
Being able to supply such a huge amount of food during the war is definitely a great achievement.
Ning Yuanze and Xiao Ying, who were far away in Yun'an County, had no idea that good things were about to happen to them.
On this day, Xiao Ying was walking back after visiting the new house. The main part of the house was almost completed, and the speed was faster than he had imagined.
This was not only due to Ouyang Xun's proper command, but also because there were so many construction workers, and they all worked very hard.
At this rate, it will be fully completed in another seven or eight days, and we will be able to move in by the end of the year.
Xiao Ying was very satisfied with this, and thought to himself that he was worthy of being sent by the emperor, so his efficiency was very high.
When she was discussing with Ling Yun what New Year's goods the family still needed, a spiritual power suddenly came from the nearby woods and rushed straight towards her face.
“Who is it?!”
Ling Yun immediately shouted coldly, instantly blocked the spiritual power, and chased after it.
Xiao Ying also frowned slightly and followed closely behind. The two of them disappeared from the spot in an instant.
He was so bold as to attack her on her territory.
However, the spiritual power was not strong. Xiao Ying always felt that it was not intended to hurt her, but to attract her attention.
After chasing each other for several hundred meters into the woods, the two suddenly lost track of each other.
Xiao Ying stopped and looked around, and found a purple bamboo forest.
At this moment, she seemed to think of something and raised her head.
On a curved purple bamboo tree more than ten meters high, a white figure was sitting with his arms folded, in a relaxed posture, obviously waiting for her.
It was a man, a very young and handsome man.
The man looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a clean and elegant white brocade robe embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and the collar and cuffs were carved with gold thread. It was plain yet gorgeous.
His appearance is outstanding. Even though Xiao Ying has seen many beauties, the one in front of him is definitely the best among them.
The skin is white and translucent.
The red is like a flower, and the beauty is like jade.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were as black as ink, yet bright as stars.
But the look he gave her was a little strange, as if he was relieved, but also seemed full of regret.
A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Ying's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Almost instantly, she guessed the other person's identity.
Yu Qianli!
But she couldn't understand why this person suddenly appeared in front of her in this way. Was he planning to show his hand?
Looking at Ling Yun standing aside, his expression was as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and was filled with nostalgia and guilt.
It was the young master, the young master who grew up with him.
While they were staring at Yu Qianli, the other party was also staring at them, or rather, mainly staring at Xiao Ying.
The two sides stared at each other for a long time, and finally Xiao Yingxian couldn't help it and his neck became sore.
"Yu Qianli?"
She raised her eyebrows and directly revealed the other person's identity, wanting to know what this person wanted to do?
"Madam is clever."
Yu Qianli actually admitted it, chuckled, and suddenly fell down, as light as a feather.
Xiao Ying stared at him expressionlessly, cursing him inwardly for being so pretentious, and feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Please call me Madam Xiao or Lady Xiao."
I always feel like I'm being taken advantage of when I call her Madam directly.
Yu Qianli laughed in surprise, but did not dwell on it and just nodded.
"Are you not going to pretend to be Li Qian anymore?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiao Ying launched another attack, but he became more alert in his heart.
Yu Qianli looked at her meaningfully, and his smile became somewhat helpless.
"You really knew it a long time ago. I'm curious, where did I reveal my flaw?"
He thought he was disguising himself very well, but that shouldn't have been the case.
"Intuition." Xiao Ying answered casually.
If it weren't for my intuition, I wouldn't have asked Ling Yun to investigate.
"You disguised yourself very well. There are no flaws to be found."
"But you still found out."
Yu Qianli sighed lightly. It was just his intuition, maybe. He didn't expect that he would be defeated by these two words.
"I'm sorry for lying to you, but I had no choice."
"I have no bad intentions towards you. I'm just very curious, so I resorted to this desperate measure."
"No bad intentions?" Xiao Ying didn't believe a word of it and snorted, "Are you here for my secret?"
"You've found out a lot of my secrets during this time, right? Now that you know enough, you want to leave?"
Do you really think she is someone who can be deceived and played with at will?
This was not the first time that Yu Qianli had witnessed how difficult she was, and he couldn't help but feel helpless at this moment.
"I did come here for your secrets in the beginning, and I did guess some of them during this time, but I have no intention of doing anything to you, nor will I reveal your secrets. You can rest assured about that."
"No, I'm worried." Xiao Ying stared at him without blinking, and took out the Thunder Flame Talisman Array with one hand: "Sorry, only the dead will not leak it out."
Yu Qianli: "..."
Yu Qianli sighed: "It wouldn't be easy for you to kill me."
"Besides, I saved your life after all."
