Chapter 246 Planting
The next day, early in the morning.
Su Chengnan went to the City Lord's Mansion with Sun Liangyuan.
"Give me these, sir. I'm not busy today. I can help look at some drawings."
"Okay, I'll leave these to you."
"no problem."
Su Chengnan returned to the meeting room holding the drawings. When he opened them, he found that what he had were the maps of the City Lord's Mansion, a thick stack of about forty or fifty sheets.
"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?" Chunyu came over and asked.
"Let me think about it," Su Chengnan raised his head and said after a moment's hesitation, "Please call Han Xing over for me. I have something to arrange for him to do later."
"Master Han and Master Yu are going to the city wall together. It will take me about half an hour to go back and forth. I will add some more charcoal to the young lady and then we will set off."
"It's okay, go ahead."
"It's okay, I'll hurry up, there's no time to delay."
Chunyu has changed a lot during these days of being with Su Chengnan. His thinking has become more open and he has become more considerate in doing things. She used tongs to pick up a few pieces of smokeless charcoal and put them into the brazier. After stacking them up in a staggered manner, she covered the path again before turning around and leaving. Her footsteps were so light that Su Chengnan didn't even notice them.
Su Chengnan looked at the blueprint of the conference room in her hand and felt as if she had discovered something again. She slowed down unconsciously, measuring the room with her eyes while looking at the drawing.
"Here... it seems there should be another area?"
"Hmm... about three meters?"
She stood up while thinking, and checked the room according to the blueprint. Finally, she found the secret room on the left side of the meeting room. But it was empty inside and there was nothing surprising.
Su Chengnan stepped out, feeling a little regretful.
As expected, treasure hunting is something that can only be encountered by chance, and it is impossible to have such good luck every time...
Hey! etc!
Lightning and thunder flashed in her mind, and suddenly a brilliant idea came to her mind!
yes! Potatoes and sweet potatoes can definitely take this opportunity to be introduced to the market!
Without thinking twice, she reopened the secret room and moved out many baskets of sweet potatoes and potatoes, filling the entire room. These were cold-resistant and heat-resistant foods, and now was a good time to plant them!
Su Chengnan quietly put his things away, left the secret room, closed the door, walked out of the meeting room, and walked quickly towards the study.
"Mr. Sun! I found the problem." She pretended that she knew nothing and went to find Sun Liangyuan first.
"Oh? Let me see." Sun Liangyuan stood up, his eyes full of anticipation.
Sun Liangyuan picked up the two drawings and compared them carefully. "Yes! There should be a place here. Let's go and take a look."
"Okay!" Su Chengnan nodded, and as soon as he walked out the door, he waved and called the secret guard Xiao Chen!
"Xiao Chen, come with us and take a look."
"Yes, Miss."
Xiao Chen followed Sun Liangyuan's instructions and carefully checked the wall of the conference room. When he found the button and opened the door of the secret room, there were several exclamations of surprise.
"What's this?"
"It looks familiar... maybe a potato?"
Xiao Chen brought out the basket. Everyone looked at each other, except Su Chengnan, who pretended to be surprised and bent down to pick it up.
“Why are there potatoes here?”
"This is a treasure that can feed the people of the entire city!"
Xiao Chen had been to Li Shanqi's tent with Su Chengnan and Bingsan before, so he had some understanding of this plant. However, Sun Liangyuan only knew that Su was planning to grow this plant in his house, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.
He wondered, “Why can this thing feed the whole city?”
Xiao Chen explained to Su Chengnan before he could speak.
Sun Liangyuan suddenly realized and praised repeatedly!
At this time, Bingsan finished his work and hurried in from outside. He saw that everyone was gathered around the basket and couldn't help but be curious. He took a closer look and said, "Huh?! Aren't these potatoes? How come there are so many here?"
Su Chengnan smiled slightly, "Yeah, I didn't expect there would be so many here!"
Bing San's expression flickered for a moment, "Miss, this thing has already been planted in the mansion, why not..."
Su Chengnan took over his words and continued, "Why not let everyone plant it!"
Sun Liangyuan's eyes lit up, "That's great! Very good!"
Su Chengnan said: "When the meeting is held in the council hall this afternoon, I will present this to everyone and draw up a plan for them to distribute it! But this is a seed, not an ordinary food that can be eaten directly."
Sun Liangyuan nodded: "That's right! This matter is extremely important. We must explain it carefully before we can execute it. Don't be impatient or you will lose the big picture because of the small."
Su Chengnan: "Sir, that's right!"
…
Half a day later, the City Lord's Mansion issued a new order.
"Tomorrow the whole city will stop working for half a day! Everyone will go all out to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes! If anyone is found eating the seeds for the seedlings, they will permanently lose all the benefits of Ningguta and will be prohibited from entering the canteen, clinic, school and other places. They will be accompanied by labor all day long!"
When this order was issued, the whole city was in an uproar.
“What is this potato?”
"How come you've never heard of it?"
"I heard about it! This thing was found in the City Lord's Mansion, and it is said to have a high yield! There are wars everywhere now! Whether we will starve next year depends on whether this thing can really be grown."
"Is it possible? Why do I feel it's so uncertain?"
"I feel uncertain too! This thing is unheard of and doesn't seem very reliable."
"that is!"
Everyone was talking about it.
An officer came over and shouted, "Don't question it! We'll know whether it will work in a few months!"
Everyone dispersed.
…
Jiangnan.
The Qin family mansion.
"Lu Chaofeng, you are a despicable villain!" A man in Chinese clothes was held at knifepoint by Wu Ming and was escorted to the ground, with veins bulging on his face.
"Do you think that just because you raided my Qin family today, you can wipe out everything tomorrow? You want to convince others? Humph, dream on." He struggled frantically, trying to break free from Wu Ming's control, but the blade in Wu Ming's hand was always tightly against his neck, leaving many bloody marks during the movement.
Lu Chaofeng stood on the high platform and looked at him coldly, "You, the Qin family, are rich but unkind and oppress the people! You have even done such unforgivable things as slaughtering an entire village. What qualifications do you have to shout here? Today is just your retribution!"
"Retribution?! I, Qin Feng, never believe in this! All of this is your conspiracy, Lu Chaofeng! It's a frame-up by your Ningyuan Palace!" His eyes were red and he roared hysterically.
Lu Chaofeng was unmoved. "The Qin family's crimes are already before us, and the evidence is irrefutable! If you still have the strength, you might as well think about your last words."
"Bah! You, a sickly person, are qualified to point fingers at me here? What is the Ningyuan Palace? What capital do you have in front of our noble families! If you treat me and our Qin family like this, no noble family in the world will cooperate with you in the future! No one will support you!"
"Support?"
Lu Chaofeng smiled.
