Chu Qiuze is very conflicted now. He is even thinking about whether he should change the grain.

We should change to Grandpa Yuan's hybrid rice, but then we consider the geographical environment here. There is too much sand in the land and rice cannot be grown at all. The survival rate is low, so it is better not to grow it.

"Host." Xiao En thought for a moment, "How about we do it like a modern shopping mall? Set up a stall outside the county government office, cook a few dozen pots, and let the visitors have a taste."

Although it is a bit of a waste of food, it is indeed a solution.

He waved his hand and asked Chen Chuzhi to get this thing started first. What if people thought it was good after tasting it?

If this method is implemented, there will be some effect.

One potato the size of a fist is enough to fill the stomach of a child or a girl, and it tastes good. I heard that the planting method is also simple and the seeds are free, so some people actually received potatoes and decided to go back and plant them.

Unfortunately, there aren't many.

He originally bought potatoes according to half of the land that had been reclaimed here, which meant that half of the land in the entire county was enough to plant potatoes, and the rest could be used to grow the crops he wanted.

But now, let alone half, it’s less than one third.

Chu Qiu Ze sighed and said, "It's impossible to help them. They don't even plant the ready-made high-yield crops."

The opportunity to change your destiny is right in front of you.

Oh~!

"Don't be sad!" Lan An came in from the door, holding a brocade box in his hand, "The problem is solved."

Chu Qiuze's eyes lit up, "What is this?"

"The Crown Prince's decree." Lan An handed the box to Chu Qiuze, "Half of the land is used to grow potatoes, and the other half can be arranged by the people. By the end of the year, the national treasury will replenish the people's half of the food. In return, all the potatoes grown will be sold to the court at a low price."

Chu Qiuze nodded. During this time, he had a new understanding of Dahan, including the current crown prince.

What the prince wants to do now is to send the first batch of potatoes to the whole country, so that they can all be planted in the spring and the people can fill their stomachs when the harvest comes.

These are all political achievements!

"Quite smart." Chu Qiuze commented.

Lan An shook his head silently, it’s not that the prince is very smart.

Nowadays, the news of the gods descending to earth has spread, but apart from the disaster-stricken areas that have benefited substantially from it, not many people believe it.

This time, he risked his life to guarantee that the yield of this grain would be high and would definitely change the current situation of food shortage in Dahan.

Thinking of this, Lan An fell silent again. He knew very well that Chu Qiu Ze couldn't be a god, and he even used his life as a guarantee this time.

You know, the royal family is ruthless. If these potatoes cannot be grown, even if he is a prince, this matter will not end well.

Chu Qiu Ze had no idea what Lan An was thinking. With the prince's decree, things would be much easier to handle. The people would not suffer losses and they could even make some money.

And his plan to popularize grain seeds has been accomplished. When the time comes, he will publicize the origin of potatoes. This will be a great thanksgiving!

For the first time, he felt that imperial power was still somewhat useful.

The distribution and sowing of grain seeds was in full swing, and Chu Qiu Ze could finally relax and have a cup of tea.

"My Lord, what do you think about the date I told you about earlier?" Chu Qiuze had time to take care of his own business now that he was free. "Now that people's lives are gradually returning to normal, you should have some free time, right?"

Lan An probably knew what Chu Qiu Ze was thinking. He had always tried to avoid such things whenever possible.

Moreover, Chu Qiu Ze's words and actions are quite frivolous. He doesn't seem like a serious person, but more like those dandy young men in the imperial city.

"General Lu sent me a letter the day before yesterday, saying that the disaster relief supplies will arrive today or tomorrow." He made up an excuse: "I won't be available by then."

Chu Qiuze: “…” Do you dare to find a worse excuse?

The disaster relief food had arrived, and there was no need for him, a prince, to personally go down to the people to distribute food.

"Ah~!" Xiao En sighed for him, "You are not easy to tease, Prince."

Chu Qiuze knew, of course, that some time ago he could use the excuse of changing Lan'an's dressing to have private contact with her and cultivate their relationship; but now the cord has been removed and the wound has healed, so there are not many opportunities for them to be alone together on weekdays.

But he is not in a hurry. His leg hasn't healed yet. Even if they really get together, they won't be able to do anything. Don't panic. Take it slow.

Since he was not in a hurry, Xiao En didn't say anything. "But speaking of your leg, you should stop the physical therapy."

During these several consecutive visits to the hospital, he saw Chu Qiu Ze almost faint from the pain.

Although physical therapy is somewhat helpful, my leg will heal sooner or later, so there is no need to suffer through it.

Chu Qiuze also knew this, but when he saw his brother's face, he was speechless, and his brother would never let him stop the treatment.

Although his brother doted on him, these things were almost non-negotiable.

So there is no answer to this question unless you tell him the truth.

"Actually, it's not impossible to tell the truth." Xiao En said after consideration, "But we have to sign a confidentiality agreement."

Chu Qiuze had never thought about this problem before. He had already brought Lan An home, so it was feasible for him to tell his brother the truth, but he was afraid that his brother would not believe it and would not let him come in the future.

Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time!

Chu Qiuze was about to say goodbye to Lan An, as he had to go to the hospital again this afternoon. "Lan An, let's talk about the date when you feel it's appropriate. I'm going back today."

Lan An sensitively discovered that Chu Qiu Ze was in a bad mood at the moment.

Is it because I rejected his date? Maybe it's okay to go shopping when I have time?

Or why don't we talk to him when he comes over tomorrow?

But Lan An didn't wait for Chu Qiu Ze the next day. Not only the second day, but he didn't wait for several days in a row.

Only then did he realize that he was a little panicked.

Let’s not talk about that for now, let’s talk about Chu Qiuze first.

Chu Qiuze, who was sitting in his brother's car, was still struggling with how to discuss the matter with his brother, but he didn't know that his secret was almost exposed.

During the previous physical therapy sessions, Chu Qiu Ze always found excuses to ask his brother to leave to prevent him from noticing the flaws. However, this time, before he could even open his mouth, his brother asked for a conference call.

Chu Qiuze heaved a sigh of relief and chatted casually with Xiao En while lying on the hospital bed, just to distract his attention and thus relieve the pain.

What he didn't know was that his every move was exposed by the pinhole camera.

Chu Tianze looked at the surveillance video, clenched his fists, and his palms were full of sweat. What he had found out during this period was really unbelievable.

Tens of thousands of kilograms of food were delivered to the home, but disappeared inexplicably. There were also signs that outsiders had stayed at home, but the property management office had no record of the visit, and even the surveillance outside the gate did not capture anything unusual.

Looking at my younger brother now talking to himself in the air, what he is talking about is potatoes, flirting with the prince, and gratitude.

Totally unrelated!

If he wasn't so familiar with his brother, he would definitely think that his brother was crazy or had mental problems.

So, what exactly did my brother go through during this period of time?

Also, although his brother seemed to be speaking easily at this moment, he knew that his brother was in pain.

My brother's legs are completely numb, so why does it hurt?

Suspicious. Very suspicious indeed.

It is human nature to be afraid of uncertainty.

Chu Tianze was also afraid. He was afraid that his lovely brother had really come into contact with something that he could not understand in reality. He was even more afraid that the brother who was now lying on the bed was no longer his "brother".

He once read a sentence that said the end of science is theology.

He had scoffed at first, but now, Chu Tianze felt that he had to reconsider it.

No matter what, to be frank, this is the basis for solving the problem.

Thinking of this, he quickly returned to the ward and reached out to pull out the instrument from Chu Qiuze's body.

"Qiu Ze, let's talk."

Chu Qiuze was originally a little frightened by his brother's sudden intrusion. Now he said he wanted to chat. What to talk about?

Chu Tianze understood the look in his eyes. Fortunately, this was still the brother he was familiar with, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just talking about potatoes, Lord, thank you."

With a bang, Chu Qiuze was so scared that he tried to sit up with his arms, but accidentally bumped into the headboard.

He was so nervous that his whole body was shaking. "Brother, how did you know that? What else do you know?"

Chu Tianze walked up to his brother and rubbed his head. Instead of answering the question directly, he talked about the things that happened when the two brothers grew up together.

They are insignificant, but they are all indelible traces in life.

Chu Qiuze also gradually relaxed during his brother's talk. Xiao En realized something was wrong, "Host, your brother is trying to lower your guard."

He shook his head and said it didn't matter!

This is the brother whom he has trusted since childhood, the brother who took the beating for him when he went out of the closet, and the brother whose blood is thicker than water and can never be changed.

Oh...Xiao En sighed and told him to speak the truth and not to add any more drama.

"Brother." Chu Qiuze held his brother's hand: "My legs will have a chance to recover and become the same as before."

Chu Tianze also smiled. He knew that his brother was willing to confess to him, but the worry in his eyes became even stronger.

He tried his best to relax his tone and said, "Then tell me how you recovered. Do you need my help?"

Chu Qiuze nodded and shook his head, "Not yet. I'll tell you my secret first, but you have to sign a confidentiality agreement."

Xiao En had told him about the confidentiality agreement. As long as his brother signed it, even if he didn't believe it, his brother wouldn't be able to reveal it.

"I'll sign." Chu Tianze didn't hesitate at all.

Xiao En materialized and appeared in front of Chu Tianze, well-behaved and polite: "Hello, Brother Tianze, I am Xiao En of the Gratitude System, and Qiu Ze is my host."

After that, he brought up the screen again, on which was the confidentiality agreement, "Sign it first."

Chu Tianze's pupils trembled slightly. He still knew the 'system'. After all, everyone was young once, and who hasn't read a few novels?

But this system has its pros and cons. When he thought of the disappearance of tens of thousands of kilograms of food, he immediately stepped forward and protected his brother behind him.

"Speak clearly!" Chu Tianze's face was stern and his tone was cold. "What do you want my brother to do? What is your request?"

Cat-head Xiaoen sighed, "Brother, you don't have to be so wary of me. I'm a serious system. Don't believe me? Ask your brother!"

Chu Qiuze pulled his brother's clothes from behind and said, "Brother, this system is really user-friendly. It doesn't make me do anything difficult, nor does it want to get anything bad from me."

Probably? Why did Chu Qiuze feel more guilty the more he talked?
