Wang Yi lowered his head and whispered to Lan Miao:
"Who sent for him?"
Lan Miao shook her head, looked at the fifth son of the Li family, lowered her head and smiled.
Okay, got it.
Wang Yi glared at his son fiercely.
The fifth child is the only educated person in the family. Perhaps he has his own ideas about getting close to Zheng Yeheng, or perhaps it was the eldest child who instructed him to do so.
In the original story line of this book, the seven sons all made their own achievements. As a certain rebel army gradually grew up, they eventually established a new country after fighting.
Wang Yi didn't want to interrupt this process, but now the story line has been completely rewritten. Their journey will definitely not proceed as it did at the beginning, and she cannot predict what the ending of each person will be.
She didn't know much about Prince Dingyuan, but she wasn't too optimistic about him either. This character didn't exist in the original book. Without her, Zheng Yeheng would have been gone by the time he encountered the Ma family's rebels. How could he be like this, hiding in the craftsmen's group and stealing roasted wild donkeys?
He couldn't even take care of his own life, so how could he let his sons follow him and take risks?
Wang Yi was full of contempt for Zheng Yeheng.
Especially the way he eats meat, it's so ugly!
Originally, Zheng Yeheng didn't know about the wild donkey incident. But he remembered that Wang Yi also rode a donkey when he was in the rebel camp.
This woman could actually control the donkey so well and even successfully encounter a group of wild donkeys. This made him feel extremely interesting, so he mentioned it when handing over the craftsman to Li Shenggen.
Li Shenggen then mentioned that there was a donkey that was suffocated in a mud pond and was now being roasted under the fire pit. It was roasted by his mother.
Zheng Yeheng had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but he had never eaten roasted wild donkey.
In Li Shenggen's opinion, it would not be excessive for his family to treat such a big shot who was kind to his family with any precious things. He immediately and enthusiastically invited Zheng Yeheng to enjoy it together. This hit the mark. At lunch time, Zheng Yeheng was invited by Lao Wu to enjoy it together.
The fifth brother looked at his mother with grievance. It was his eldest brother who asked him to invite her, thinking that since he was the only educated person in the family, it would be more respectable for him to go in front of the prince, so it was not his fault.
"My Lord, are you still speaking?"
Wang Yi put on a smile but spoke through gritted teeth.
"It's soft, tender, and crispy, and indeed delicious. It would be even better if the skin could be charred over an open flame. Sister Wang, I've sent someone to get the steamed buns, so we can enjoy them together."
"My family is poor, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
You're so shameless to exchange some steamed buns for my barbecue.
That’s all, please eat a few less bites, I have seven sons!
"This game is extremely rare."
"Oh."
Zheng Yeheng was not surprised to see Wang Yi scolding him. After a few contacts, he had already gotten a feel for Wang Yi's temper.
Under Wang Yi's fixed gaze, he took the best piece of meat and placed it in his bowl. He then smiled and said, "I have asked the Lord of Qingdong City to send five oxen as a reward for this donkey."
As soon as he finished speaking, another piece of meat fell into the plate in front of him.
Plowing ox?
Wang Yi smiled sincerely, "Your Majesty, it is a blessing for this donkey to be enjoyed by you."
It’s not easy to get five oxen for plowing nowadays. Wow, these are big ones.
It is much more useful than a donkey or a mule. I will give you all the donkey meat.
Zheng Yeheng laughed out loud. As expected, she was such an interesting woman, thick-skinned and shameless, with a straightforward and honest temperament.
Knowing what you want and being able to say it and ask for it is always more direct than those who are hesitant and beat around the bush when they want something.
Li Shenggen and Li Youcai saw this scene and looked at each other. As brothers born next to each other, they already knew what the other was thinking.
My first reaction was, that’s impossible?
The prince is a noble man, how could he look down on ordinary people like him?
Needless to say, my mother had already given birth to seven sons.
Although my mother seems radiant and energetic these days, she is still a widow after all.
What kind of woman can’t the prince find?
Why did he fall for his own mother?
"Maybe he's expressing gratitude to his mother for saving his life?"
Li Youcai spoke to his elder brother in a low voice.
Li Shenggen nodded hesitantly, I hope so.
However, it seems that my mother is not interested in the prince. She prefers the few oxen he gave her.
After lunch, Silly Sister went to train with Hong Jiu and the others again.
Wang Yi and his sons came to the fields and began to mark out the land and divide it into acres. They also had to confirm the 20 acres of land that would be leased to the former village chief, now Uncle Li's family.
The rent was calculated, which was 20% of the annual harvest, which could be exchanged for silver or grain. This made Uncle Li's family very grateful. With 20 mu of land, they had a place to live, and with only 20% rent, such care was more than enough.
Wang Yi also plans to divide the remaining 80 acres of land, including the 10 acres that will be included in the farm in the future, evenly among his sons.
Those who are married will help those who are not married to farm the land first, and after they have started a family, they can decide who will own the land.
The ten acres of land in the farm belong to Wang Yi. Her sons work together to plant the land, and she keeps the harvest for her retirement.
Of course, this is what they said. In fact, Wang Yi wanted to grow some system products and keep them in the farm. He would have a source, and if he wanted to expand the production, he could just find an excuse.
What matters is whether you believe it or not.
Ten acres was indeed quite large. Excluding the area that would be used for future construction, it was still large enough for Wang Yi to conduct experiments. In this era, the yield per acre was low, and harvests could only be achieved by relying on large areas. Therefore, the reward of a hundred acres of land was not unusual.
Standing in front of a field with less weeds, which is about two acres in size, it is relatively flat and can be turned over and sown at any time.
Wang Yi gestured and said, "That's it!"
"Mom, do we really want to plant it? Such a precious bag of soybeans will be wasted if winter comes before they mature."
"Of course you can. If they're not ripe, just pick some green beans and sell them as vegetables. This bag can grow enough for two acres."
"Alright. We won't be able to harvest much this year anyway, so I'll just listen to Mother. Also, are those sweet potatoes you started growing ready to plant?"
"Grow them all! They'll be ready in a few days!"
What Miao looks like depends entirely on her.
No matter what stage of seedlings are needed, she can provide them and they can definitely be planted!
However, the planting area will not be large, only about two acres.
Add one acre of potato seedlings and two acres of soybeans, and the total is five acres.
These are all the experiments we can do this year. If there are more, Wang Yi won’t be able to withstand everyone’s inquiries.
Even so, a few people had some doubts, but thinking about the fact that the prince gave a lot of land, and that the land was all earned by their mother with her own ability, she could do whatever she wanted, so the sons and daughters-in-law did not say anything.
For the rest of the fields, I listened to the boss and planted some cabbage and radishes, and then harvested them in autumn to sell as winter vegetables.
After marking, the whole family got busy.
He took out the farm tools he had bought from Qingdong City, set up the wild donkey and started turning the soil.
