Do you know who's behind the Qin family?
Fang Qing nodded.
That's the third prince.
"The Qin family wants your seed, and it involves factional strife. I can't reveal more details, but I know that if the Qin family gets this seed, they definitely won't sell it to the public like you did."
Fang Qing frowned.
Not for sale to the public.
The Qin family would cultivate the land themselves, expand the scale of cultivation, and once it reached a scale across the world, they would truly control the imperial granary. The very thing a country depends on for survival would be in the hands of the Qin family, and the world would belong to the Qin family, or perhaps the Third Prince.
The thought of that scene is terrifying.
Fang Qing shook her head.
She cultivated these seeds so that everyone could have enough to eat and reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, but the Qin family's approach undoubtedly deepened the system of slavery.
"Even without the Sunny Day Seeds, I can still develop others, it's just a matter of changing the brand. It's impossible for the Qin family to control the grain."
Lord Zhao shook his head again.
"Now that you're in Xichang Prefecture, do you think you still have a chance to change your business name?"
Fang Qing's eyelids twitched.
Even if the Qin family obtains the Sunny Day Seed, they will not allow her to leave Xichang Prefecture alive.
Why is Lord Zhao telling me all this?
Fang Qing remembered what Xiao Dou had just said.
Perhaps this Lord Zhao can help her.
"We scholars strive to achieve fame and fortune so that we may benefit the common people. But I am of lowly status and my voice carries little weight. It is already extremely difficult for me to gain a foothold in the court. Now that I have been forced into the Qin family's camp, it will be difficult for me to extricate myself. I only hope that the factional strife will not harm the people."
He sighed heavily as he spoke, and Fang Qing could see the seriousness in his expression.
It turns out that Lord Zhao knew the harm that would result after the Qin family achieved their goal.
"So, according to Lord Zhao, what should I do next?"
"Now it seems the Qin family has their eyes on you. If you want to get away safely, you can only find someone who can overpower the Qin family to help you."
Fang Qingxin felt a chill.
"Does Lord Zhao think there is any family in Xichang Prefecture, or even in the entire Qingzhou, that can surpass the Qin family?"
"Indeed not, but Miss Fang, you shouldn't limit your sights to Qingzhou."
Lord Zhao dipped his finger in tea and wrote the character "京" (Jing) on the table.
