Chapter 55
I'm actually going to be imprisoned?
Of course he was afraid. He didn't want to be locked up for the rest of his life.
Lu Xiaobai nodded obediently with red eyes, then threw herself into He Qin's arms, buried her head in his chest, and whispered, "He Qin..."
He Qin thought he had frightened the man, so he quickly reached out and hugged him, gently patting his back and saying, "If you're afraid, don't tell anyone else that you can get the seeds. No matter who it is, not even Zhou Zhou!"
Lu Xiaobai nodded randomly, wiping his tears onto He Qin's clothes, and then whispered, "Well, then tell others that you were the one who took out the seeds. You and Brother Lingyi are so powerful. If that dog emperor dares to imprison you, you can take Brother Lingyi with you to kill him!"
He Qin: ...
Lu Xiaobai looked up at He Qin and said, "What do you say?"
He Qin's breathing was a little heavy, but he didn't get angry and didn't say anything.
Lu Xiaobai wiped his tears and asked in confusion: "Why don't you answer? Could it be that you can't defeat that dog emperor who likes to imprison people?"
He Qin still didn't say anything, but just took a deep breath, helplessly reached out to hold the door frame, feeling a little headache.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Xiaobai turned around and walked to the table to sit down, propping up his chin and pouting, saying: "I can now take out more than 3,000 kilograms of seeds. It would be great if I could share so much to save people."
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, He Qin took another breath and angrily said in a deep voice, "What's three thousand kilograms? According to Nanhe's population and production, all types of seeds combined would require at least three hundred thousand kilograms a year. Three hundred thousand kilograms, can you afford it?"
Nanhe is a big country. The food and drink for the entire country in a year, the food and fodder needed to maintain the army and prepare for war, and the inventory of the national treasury to prevent natural disasters, all added up in a year, 300,000 kilograms is not enough!
But three thousand kilograms is too little for a country, even insignificant.
"Three, three hundred thousand, that much?"
Lu Xiaobai was surprised. He didn't know much about farming and thought three thousand kilograms was a lot, but he didn't expect...
That's right, the famine is now affecting the entire Nanhe Kingdom, not just a small area.
Lu Xiaobai stood there blankly, asking Xiaobaicai in his heart if he could get more planting coins to buy more seeds.
Xiao Baicai, who was able to show up again, excitedly replied: "Yes, one wave of seeds planted can yield three waves of harvest. Host, your vegetable seeds will soon yield the second wave of planting coins, which can be exchanged for more other seeds."
Xiao Baicai said a lot of things, but Lu Xiaobai felt as if she hadn't said anything. He said helplessly in his heart: "It's useless to ask you. Can't you tell me something I don't know?"
Lu Xiaobai pouted unhappily, and the next second he felt something hanging around his neck. He looked down and saw that the jade pendant he had given to He Qin that day was back on him.
He looked at He Qin doubtfully: "How can you have a child without giving birth to one?"
He Qin didn't answer his nonsense, but whispered: "This is the symbol of the legal wife, it can't be given to others."
Lu Xiaobai touched the jade pendant and nodded: "Oh, okay."
After He Qin finished speaking, he added: "Don't worry about the seeds. There is still some time before spring, so you can slowly think of a solution."
"Um."
The third wave of gold coins should be able to be collected before spring. If we calculate based on 100,000 coins each time, there will be 300,000 coins in three waves. By then, he should have 10,000 kilograms.
Although it cannot solve natural disasters in other places, the local villagers, the small town, and even the entire county will definitely have a good harvest.
He Qin looked at Lu Xiaobai's silly look, feeling distressed and helpless. He turned around and said, "Eat first."
He Qin left after he finished speaking, and Lu Xiaobai followed him with a pout.
In the countryside, rain means rest, so after dinner, everyone went back to bed.
He Zhou placed two braziers on the floor beside the bed, and he also slept on the edge of the bed. It was much warmer than last night...
A lot can be done on a rainy night. Even the most unruly Lu Xiaobai can be subdued and not even dare to move.
He Qin's absolute suppression made Lu Xiaobai cry all night.
The next morning, the rain stopped outside and He Qin was not by his side. He pouted, put on his clothes, rubbed his eyes, and went out to see, and found that everyone was outside the yard.
"What are you doing outside?"
Lu Xiaobai wanted to go over and take a look, but he was a little reluctant to go.
Because there was no cement in ancient times, half of the yard was made of bluestone slabs and the other half was made of mud.
Although the rain had stopped, the soil was still thick and his feet were covered in mud as soon as he stepped on it. Lu Xiaobai felt a little disgusted.
He stood at the end of the bluestone slab and shouted outside: "He Qin, He Qin..."
He Qin turned around, frowned at Lu Xiaobai in the middle of the yard, and subconsciously asked, "Hmm?"
He Qin turned around, and Lu Xiaobai saw an ox cart with He Zhou and Ling Yi sitting on it. He thought they were going to town, so he didn't care about the mud. He rushed over, hugged He Qin's arm, and asked, "Are you going to town?"
He Zhou smiled and shook his head: "No, I want to go... home."
go home?
Lu Xiaobai asked in confusion: "You're going home so soon, why don't you stay for a few more days?"
He Zhou: "No, I miss home."
I don't want to be here every day listening to you two being so affectionate and doing shameful things to provoke him.
Moreover, the emperor's brother also said that although he would not go back, there might be a way to deal with the seed problem, and no one would starve to death next year, so he told him not to worry.
He Zhou's most trusted brother is He Qin. As long as He Qin says no one will starve to death, he believes that no one will starve to death.
So, he's going to play!
"Then, then..."
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment. The countryside was poor and he had nothing to give He Zhou. He thought about it, ran back to the room, took out his last pomelo and put it in the car: "Here, eat it when you get bored on the road."
Seeing Youzi, He Zhou also laughed and instantly forgave the two of them for their dirty deeds at night. He hugged Youzi and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiaobai."
"Well, be careful on the road."
He Zhou nodded and said goodbye to He Qin. Then Lingyi started to drive the cattle, and the two of them walked slowly towards the town.
He Zhou had planned it out long ago. There were people he had arranged waiting for him in the town. As long as the two parties met and Ling Yiyi left, he could do whatever he wanted.
Lu Xiaobai looked at their backs, then looked at He Qin's deep eyes and asked, "If you can't bear to leave Zhou Zhou, why don't you go home?"
He Qin retracted his gaze, grabbed Lu Xiaobai's hand and walked towards the yard together: "It's okay, let's go back."
Although He Zhou is a boy, he is also the most noble prince of Nanhe. No matter what the reason is, he does not need to get married.
He can find a husband and never have to leave the He family.
Therefore, He Qin had nothing to be reluctant about. No matter what time, no one would let He Zhou suffer.
He Qin stood on the bluestone slab, watching Lu Xiaobai carefully take off his shoes and reach out to him: "These shoes are covered in mud, I don't want to wear them anymore, carry me in and put on new shoes."
He Qin looked at Lu Xiaobai's spoiled appearance and suddenly felt that he was not much different from He Zhou.
It's just that one lives in the imperial palace, and the other lives in a remote village. So, how did Lu Xiaobai develop such a delicate personality?
He Qin bent down and easily lifted the person into his arms. As he walked towards the room, he asked, "You've lost your last pomelo. Are you willing to give it up?"
Lu Xiaobai was a little reluctant to leave, but He Zhou seemed to have never been to the countryside like him.
Although his performance was not as exaggerated as before, it was obvious that he was not used to it, and he also liked pomelo very much, so Lu Xiaobai shook his head: "It's okay, there will definitely be more next year, then I can take something to exchange with the village chief uncle."
He Zhou was indeed not used to this place, but the reason he appeared calm was that many things here were made according to the standards of the imperial palace by He Qin.
For example, the most unacceptable toilet...
So, this made He Zhou think that the toilets in the countryside were the same as those in the palace.
As for other things, He Qin also tried his best to give him the best.
Of course, what He Qin gave Lu Xiaobai was not bad either.
Seeing his wife and brother getting along so well, He Qin was very happy. When he entered the room, he bent down and kissed Lu Xiaobai's forehead for the first time and said, "I really want to eat you right now!"
