An Jingzhi briefly introduced the method of making tofu pudding.
Young Master Rong Li thought of the wheat ears outside the city.
Could it be that the other party has mastered some method to make crops mature faster, so they have the confidence to make these luxurious things?
That’s right, the things on this table are considered luxurious even for a noble like Master Rong Li.
Not to mention tofu pudding, there is this cake that requires malt sugar, eggs, finely ground wheat flour, as well as water chestnut cake and red bean cake.
According to the other party, this was his daily afternoon tea, not something specially prepared for him.
"I came into the city today and saw that the wheat outside the city seemed to be almost ready for harvest, unlike other places." He tentatively asked, "Could it be that the city lord has some idea for increasing grain production?"
An Jingzhi laughed and said, "There is no way to increase grain production." Young Master Rong Li was a little disappointed, but he could understand that if he had a way to increase grain production, he would not want to tell anyone.
"But I have some ideas on how to make crops grow better." An Jingzhi finished the second half of the sentence slowly.
"Master Rong Li wants to know?"
Young Master Rong Li stared at him in astonishment. "Is there really such a method?" He thought of the wheat ears he saw outside the city. "If there really is one, I'm willing to trade with you."
"Just ask for as much gold and silver as you need." His tone was a little anxious. The world was about to fall into chaos, and it was a time when they needed to stockpile food. Although the food his family had stored was enough to last for ten years, who would complain about having too much food?
Sometimes An Jingzhi felt that these people were really a bit strange. They obviously valued grain very much, but they beat and scolded the farmers and treated them as if they were not human beings.
He said, "The method of food production is not complicated. Everyone in the city knows it, but if you don't know the reasons behind it, I'm afraid a good thing will turn into a bad thing."
Young Master Rong Li nodded and waited for him to finish his next words.
An Jingzhi said a few words to the old butler. After a while, the old butler went to An Jingzhi's study and brought in a sheepskin map.
After An Jingzhi took the map, he placed it on the stone table. He pointed to a place and said, "This should be the fief of Earl Rongchang, right?"
Young Master Rong Li took a glance and found that his fiefdom and other places were all shown on the map. He looked at the other party meaningfully.
"Yes, this is my father's fiefdom."
"You want me to exchange this piece of land for your method of increasing grain production?" He said with some embarrassment.
An Jingzhi shook his head and pointed to the mountain path at the edge of the fiefdom: "I don't want this fiefdom, I want this mountain."
"Wu Mountain?" Young Master Rong Li tilted his head to take a look. If it was this mountain, he could make the decision himself. This mountain was very barren and no crops could be grown at all.
"That's right."
"Okay." Young Master Rong Li said immediately, fearing that An Jingzhi would go back on his word. "We can make the deal now. I can replace my father."
He took out the seal from his arms. It was a seal that symbolized the identity of Earl Rongchang and was brought to buy cement. He didn't expect to use it here first.
Seeing how anxious he was, An Jingzhi agreed to his wish and had a contract drawn up. After both parties verified that it was correct, they signed it.
As for whether An Jingzhi is a fake, he is not worried at all whether the contract he signed can make him into Master Rong Li.
Regardless of whether the other party is a fake or not, the entire Qucheng has fallen into his hands, that’s certain.
If it were in the past, he might have wanted to gather others to share the spoils, but now the situation is getting increasingly chaotic, and the most important thing is to protect their family.
He checked the composting and fertilizing method that An Jingzhi had someone write down. He never expected that the dregs that he despised so much that day could have such an important function?
"If you simply use feces and urine as fertilizer, it will be counterproductive. Only by using composting can it have the corresponding effect."
"Don't worry, Master Rong Li. You can take these methods back. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can send someone to ask." An Jingzhi said.
Young Master Rong Li hesitated. "This is about food, it's definitely not a trivial matter," he said, glancing at the bamboo slips in his hand. "Although it's written in great detail, I haven't done anything specific before. I wonder if the City Lord could send someone over to help guide me?"
"I will pay for all the round-trip expenses, food and accommodation."
An Jingzhi thought about it and roughly understood the other party's concerns. He could understand the words, but those ordinary farmers could not.
People who can read don't know how to farm. Even if he reads the instructions word for word to ordinary farmers, those ordinary farmers may not understand them.
He nodded to show that he understood, "Okay, I will send someone to accompany you when you leave."
After receiving a positive answer, Master Rong Li put the bamboo slips away.
While chatting, he kept asking about the latest news in the city.
Why do the guards' weapons look different? Oh, it turns out the city lord had the craftsmen forge them himself.
It is said that it is harder than the original weapon and I want it.
Why does the armor of these people look so shiny? Is it made of silver?
Oh, it turns out to be the new type of armor made by the city lord and the craftsmen. It is not only light and thin but also strong. I want it.
The more he asked, the greedier he became, and he wished he could pack up the whole Qucheng and take it home.
He also understood that the other party told him so bluntly because he was not afraid of his plundering.
Unable to resist the urge to test the toughness of these weapons, he suggested that his guards compete with the soldiers behind An Jingzhi.
An Jingzhi naturally obliged him. The guards behind Master Rong Li drew their swords, and the soldiers beside An Jingzhi also drew their swords, and the two men slashed at each other.
With just one move, the knife of Master Rong Li's guard fell to the ground.
Master Rong Li knew that the weapons of the soldiers around An Jingzhi should be harder, but he didn't expect them to be so sharp!
He was horrified. If his soldiers came into conflict with An Jingzhi's soldiers equipped with such weapons, he would probably not be able to defeat them in one blow.
No, it's not just him. If the other side has more soldiers equipped with this weapon...
Seeing him standing there in a daze, An Jingzhi asked with a smile, "Mr. Rong Li, what do you think of my knife?"
Although the new knives he asked the craftsmen to make were harder than the weapons of ordinary soldiers, it was not that exaggerated. It was just that these people were guards in the mansion, and their weapons were naturally better than those of other ordinary soldiers.
After the soldier who drew his sword cut off the opponent's sword, he put the sword back into the sheath without changing his expression and silently retreated behind An Jingzhi.
The guard next to Master Rong Li stood there in a daze. After the other guards pushed him, he finally reacted and picked up the broken knife on the ground. He suppressed his surprise and retreated silently.
"What a good sword!" Young Master Rong Li suppressed his fear and said.
