Chapter 527: Whoever can be fooled is the best (Update 2)

Shen Changan turned his head and glanced at the Seventh Prince. He couldn't help but feel schadenfreude. It was obvious that he was just like him, jumping into the big pit of digging potatoes voluntarily.

This is just the beginning.

He looked at Lu Zexu standing on the ground. He really hoped that his cousin the Crown Prince would work harder and trick some more laborers. There

are too few people and too many potatoes. They can't dig them all!

Maybe he was watching too attentively and was noticed by the little Crown Prince. Their eyes met in the air. At that moment, Shen Changan felt that his cousin the Crown Prince's eyes lit up.

He suddenly had a bad premonition.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly. His cousin the Crown Prince...he...he...how did he get here? ? ?

Shen Changan was terrified. The person he was most afraid of now was not his father, but this cousin!

Especially when he smiled!

He is still smiling so brightly now!!

Shen Changan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a bad feeling.

Lu Zexu squatted beside him and asked with a smile, "Changan, I remember you are studying in the largest academy in Beijing, right?"

Shen Changan nodded, "Yucai Academy."

The little prince continued to smile, "Look, you are enjoying delicious food here, but your classmates have to study hard in the academy all day long."

Shen Changan was a little confused and didn't quite understand.

The little prince continued, "It is said that we share happiness and adversity together. As a friendly, helpful and good student, shouldn't you invite your classmates to come and taste the food together?"

Shen Changan blinked in confusion and asked a soul-searching question, "Are you sure you want to invite them to taste the food?"

The little prince nodded sincerely, "Of course, do you still want to eat fried potatoes?"

Shen Changan nodded vigorously and swallowed his saliva, "Yes."

The little prince smiled more brilliantly, "Then let your classmates come and try it too."

Shen Changan looked at the endless fields. He really needed a few strong helpers.

Shen Changan immediately started writing letters.

With the idea of ​​​​tricking as many people as possible, Shen Changan's wrists hurt from writing the letter, and he sent it to all the people he had good relationships with.

The next morning, nearly 50 people came to the imperial manor.

The little prince was very satisfied. Very good, very good, my cousin has a good relationship with people in the academy.

Shen Changan is righteous, very loyal, and has a strong sense of justice. He makes friends regardless of family background. He is very popular in the academy. Look, everyone who received the letter came.

There are also some who did not receive the letter, but heard about it from others, so they also came, resulting in a very large team.

After these people came over, they did not forget to complain to Shen Changan, "No, Shen Changan, do you still treat me as a brother? You didn't tell me about such a unique delicacy?"

"That's right, that's right, I'm so ashamed that I still treat you as my best brother! You didn't tell me about the delicious food. If I hadn't met Yang Yi, I would have really missed it."

"Shen Changan, you are so mean, we have been through thick and thin together! Now you forget me when there is delicious food! If you don't give me an explanation, it's not over today!"

...

Shen Changan looked at the classmates who didn't know the situation with sympathy, "Are you all here for the delicious food?"

Everyone nodded.

Shen Changan smiled, "If you want to eat, you have to do it yourself."

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Didn't they come here to enjoy the food? Why does it sound like they have to work?

Many of these people who came here, even if they were not from high-ranking families, were children of officials. They were basically spoiled by their families. Not to mention working in the fields, even their daily chores were done by maids and servants in the mansion.

Now suddenly they are told to work, how can they not be confused?

However, seeing that Shen Changan was working, he was the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo and the cousin of the prince. This was also the prince's royal estate. Working here was equivalent to working for the prince. These people looked at each other, and thought nothing of it. Just work.

In this way, the little prince gained a large number of free labor.

Digging potatoes is really too simple, and there is no technical content. The little prince saw that the granary he prepared in advance was getting fuller and fuller, and his smile became more and more brilliant.

That night, he treated everyone to a spicy hot pot.

There were more vegetables, beef and mutton on the long table, and not many potatoes, but everyone still ate very happily.

I heard that this thing is called hot pot, which is the prince's favorite food. They can actually eat the food that the prince likes!

Even though everyone was very tired, such a delicious meal also healed everyone.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they naturally wanted to show off to their classmates. The little prince was very considerate and prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Although he did not appear in front of many students from beginning to end, he was always paying attention to the students' situation.

Shen Changan looked at his good brothers and classmates, one by one, praising the prince for his thoughtfulness, and began to brag about the delicious food on the manor, and then asked the accompanying servants to deliver all the letters.

The next day, as expected, the manor welcomed new students and even teachers. Shen Changan didn't know what to say.

His cousin, the prince, was really too cunning.

He wanted to ask, is there anyone in this world that he can't fool?

The fact is, there is no such person.

His classmates were about the same age as him, and working for three days was already the limit. Besides, they still had homework to do and classes every day.

After this group of people left, most of the potatoes on the farm had been harvested, but the remaining ones were still a big problem.

Just as Shen Changan was looking at such a large field of potatoes and getting worried, he saw Lu Zexu looking at the full granary and was very satisfied.

"Grandfather said that it should rain in the next two days. After the rain, the potatoes will be difficult to harvest, right?"

Shen Changan no longer stayed just for the delicious food. He had a deep understanding of the far-reaching significance of high-yield potatoes to Daliang.

If the harvest was delayed because of the heavy rain, he would be really heartbroken.

"Don't worry, there will be new people coming to help in the afternoon." Lu Zexu was full of confidence.

Shen Changan was a little skeptical. Now is the busy farming season, and it is difficult to even hire people. For farmers, the crops in the fields are everything.

No one will give up the crops in the fields to earn wages.

Where will the prince cousin get the workers?

In the afternoon, Shen Changan knew.

The students of the Imperial College arrived, and the leader was the current second prince Lu Zebin. These students were all his students, majoring in chemistry.

They would also do some experiments on weekdays, and they also accepted things like going to the fields well.

Just like that, under the persuasion of the little prince, oh no, under the invitation, the potatoes on the little prince's palace were harvested.

It took 10 days to harvest 500 acres of potatoes.

The seventh prince was exhausted. He thought that such torture was finally over and he could finally go back to the palace to rest. Little did he know that this was just the beginning.
