The Imperial Concubine had the final say on opening a shop, but since it concerned Zhaoyang, she had to inform the Emperor.

"Okay, I'll let Dai Yan give you 10,000 taels of silver. As for the rest, I'll trouble Zhao Yang to take care of it. How do you think?"

"No problem!" Helian Yu patted his chest and promised, "Your Majesty, just wait for the money to roll in!"

"You girl!"

After finalizing the matter of opening the shop, Helian Yu left Yikun Palace.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Princess Yongle Helian Ya hurried over in a sedan chair.

"Xiao Yu'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look much better." Helian Yaying got off the sedan chair, smiled at Helian Yu, and helped her get on the sedan chair. "Come on, slow down."

Riding on the sedan chair, Helian Ya took Helian Yu's hand and told her interesting stories inside and outside the palace. Helian Yu loved to listen to stories about conflicts between concubines, so Helian Ya told her everything that had happened in the past few days.

Helian Yu exclaimed softly: "In just ten days, my father has already deposed Concubine Lan."

"There are many disputes in the palace. A few days ago, my mother was tricked into saying the wrong thing, and she almost made my father unhappy."

Helian Yu propped up his chin and said, "Father is not busy. If he were busy, he wouldn't have time to come to the harem and watch the concubines fighting among themselves."

"Sister, be careful with your words." Helian Ya rolled her eyes. "After all, we are still in the palace, and there are many people talking. It's easy for the emperor to hear it."

"Don't worry, he is the king of a country. How can he be so idle as to listen to our conversation?" Helian Yu patted Helian Ya's hand. "If he eavesdrops on our conversation, I will despise him for the rest of my life!"

According to Marquis Lu and Lord Zheng, after leaving the Golden Palace, a young eunuch whispered a few words in His Majesty's ear, and His Majesty's face turned gloomy.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, soldiers and officers came to report from outside the Imperial Master's Mansion.

"Lord Lu, Lord Zheng Xuan, have arrived—"

At that time, Helian Yu was learning to identify medicinal herbs in the main courtyard, and Helian Ya was learning beside him.

Hearing the voice, Helian Yu ran to Xie Rangchen and said, "Master, have you committed a crime?"

Xie Rangchen: “…”

Helian Ya was stunned, yet she couldn't help but feel envious. Such blunt and offensive words must have been expressed through deep love and favor. If she took advantage of the favor and let it be shown to be even more arrogant towards Zhaoyang, she might even feel even more pampered.

Xie Rangchen looked towards the main courtyard entrance: "I'm here to look for wheat seeds. Can Yu'er help me?"

Helian Yu knew what he meant. After touching the herbs for a long time, she rubbed her hands on his robes, raised her head and nodded: "Okay, but how much is it?"

"At least 100 shi, which can be used to grow about 100 mu of crops." Xie Rangchen explained in detail, "After the first harvest this year, we will continue to grow wheat seeds. If we repeat this process for a few years, it will be fully popularized in the major provinces in the north."

Helian Yu continued: "We need to plant wheat seeds in a few counties first, and continue to plant ordinary wheat in other prefectures to fill granaries. After a few years, we can change the world with wheat fields, right?"

"Yes." Xie Rangchen stroked her black hair, "Yu'er understood it immediately, she is very smart."

"That's right!" Helian Yu raised his chin proudly and laughed happily, "Master is smart, how could I hold you back~"

"I hope so."

Helian Yu gritted his teeth and banged his little head against Xie Rangchen's legs: "Master, I told you to learn how to speak a long time ago, but you just wouldn't listen! What will you do if you get beaten up when you go out in the future?"

Helian Ya couldn't help but steal a glance at Xie Rangchen's expression. In her impression, all masters were serious and old-fashioned and couldn't tell jokes, but it seemed that the national master and Zhaoyang were a little different.

The two of them are neither master nor disciple, but their relationship is extremely close and strange.

Xie Rangchen held her head and did not answer her question: "Take Lord Zheng and Marquis Lu to move the wheat seeds."

"Okay!"

Helian Yu ran away and Chang An quickly followed.

Just as Helian Ya was about to catch up, Xie Rangchen called out to her, "Princess Yongle, wait a minute."

Helian Ya was not familiar with Xie Rangchen. Just hearing his title of national teacher and his fierceness that he could not restrain, she was afraid and did not dare to get close to him.

"Master Imperial Master." Helian Ya lowered her eyes respectfully.

"In early April, the Dongning delegation will come to visit. We will discuss the marriage with Daxia. What do you think, Princess Yongle?"

Xie Rangchen went straight to the point and casually pulled a rose chair to sit down. Although he was sitting upright, he looked relaxed and unrestrained.

Helian Ya put her hands in front of her, maintaining the demeanor of a princess, respectful and humble, just like the boring wooden beauty in the book: "Yongle was born in the royal family and is supported by the world. If it is possible to marry for the sake of the country, Yongle will naturally be willing."

Xie Rangchen pulled a few grass stems and concentrated on twisting them: "Princess, you are so righteous."

"Princess, guess what Yu'er would do if she were asked to marry?"

Helian Ya pursed her lips, feeling an inexplicable bitterness in her heart. She straightened her mind and answered, "Maybe I will ask my father and the Imperial Master for help, and then I will be forgiven."

"She won't beg." Xie Rangchen raised his eyes and glanced at Helian Ya, with a cold look in his eyes.

Helian Ya was puzzled, but did not dare to ask more.

The Imperial Master's Mansion, Qingxi Garden, is a relatively remote courtyard. Usually, not many people live there and few people come here.

Helian Yu led Marquis Lu, Lord Zheng, and a group of officers and soldiers to the outside of Qingxi Garden.

"Wait a minute, I'll go unlock the wheat seed room." Helian Yu stood in front of the garden gate and warned, "No one is allowed to peek."

Marquis Lu bowed and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will keep an eye on you."

Zheng Xuan cupped his hands and said, "This is about the common people and the country. I will never peek. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Helian Yu ran into Qingxi Garden, entered a room, and called up the system.

"How many points are needed to exchange for 100 shi of wheat seeds?"

【10 points.】

"So cheap? Exchange for 500 stones!"

[OK, the 500 stones of wheat seeds have been exchanged. Please go back and check.]

Helian Yu retreated to the foot of the wall, and suddenly a room full of wheat seeds appeared in front of him, all piled up in bags.

Helian Yu ran out of the house, opened the door wide, and waved to Zheng Xuanlu Hou: "Come in!"

The two men rushed in with the soldiers and went straight into the house. Looking at the piled up bags of wheat seeds, their eyes filled with tears.

Zheng Xuan was a noble son from a poor family. Although he had never been in poverty, he had dealt with many common people and knew that food was life. With food, he had life.

He raised his sleeve to wipe away tears, his eyes red and swollen: "It is a blessing for the people! It is a blessing for the world! Daxia is blessed by God!"

Lu Jing urged: "Sir Zheng, you will have plenty of time to feel sentimental in the future. Do your job as soon as possible. Don't make His Highness and His Majesty wait anxiously, and don't make the people of the world wait anxiously."

"Lord Lu, did the emperor say where to conduct the trial?" Helian Yu asked.

"Your Highness, promote it in the prince's fiefdom first. If it is feasible, then -"

Helian Yu interrupted Lu Jing and frowned: "No."

The prince and Helian Chi are not on good terms, and Helian Chi is a sickly lunatic who is capable of killing his father and brother. Who knows how he might harm the wheat seeds and accuse the prince.

The two of them were targeting each other, causing suffering to the common people and delaying the Master's tribulation.

Helian Yu made up his mind that even if he promoted it in Helian Sheng's fiefdom, it would be safer than in the territories of the two.

Lu Jing was surprised. In his impression, although Princess Zhaoyang loved to play, she would not be arbitrary and domineering in major matters. Today...

"I will go and tell my father!"

Helian Yu asked the officers and soldiers to move the wheat seeds and ran out by herself. She ran all the way back to the main courtyard and saw Xie Rangchen sitting on her rose chair.

The tone was sarcastic: "Ah! Master, you are so dignified."

Xie Rangchen's fingers flexibly intertwined, and the grass stem turned into a lifelike little rabbit in his hand. He raised his eyes and asked, "Who offended you?"

"Of course Master! You sit in my rose chair!"

"Any questions?"

"It's not a big problem." Helian Yu paused, snorted, and said unhappily, "When it was delivered, the craftsman said that the Rose Chair is also called 'Miss's Royal Seat', so it was specially inlaid with a circle of gems to decorate it. I didn't expect that Master liked it so much."

Xie Rangchen slowly stood up, stuffed the straw rabbit into Helianyu's hands, and pulled an ordinary armchair to sit down, sitting sideways casually: "Don't worry, I'm not short of money, I won't take the gems on your chair."

Helian Yu's face turned red.

Bah! You are just blaming someone else!
