Chapter 324 This is life

"You don't have to send me off, girl. It's not good for people outside to see me."

When they reached the door, Zhao Jingyu turned his head and said, "Dingdang, I like her very much, and she likes me too. Although it's not good to take someone else's things away, I really like her, and my feelings will never change. It's just that the girl has lost her beloved things, and I don't know how to compensate her. I guess we won't have the chance to meet in the future. This jade pendant is for you. If you need anything in the future, it can serve as a promise."

As he spoke, Zhao Jingyu pulled off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it over. He made it very clear that they would not meet again in the future, but if Su Jin needed anything, she could come to him with the jade pendant.

Oh, what a good man.

Su Jin was very tempted, but between action and reality, she chose reality.

It's really unrealistic to marry Prince Rui.

She is no longer a little girl who loves to dream.

Su Jin took the jade pendant, thanked her, and asked Jin Chuan to send Zhao Jingyu away. This time, Zhao Jingyu left decisively without looking back, free and resolute.

After getting on the carriage, Zhao Jingyu closed his eyes and said to Zhuifeng, "Let's go back to the palace."

The question he wanted to ask had already come to an end. He could only love the woman he liked silently for the rest of his life. Since he was living in this world, it didn't matter who he married, so what was the big deal about marrying a Hun princess?

It doesn't matter.

This world is all the same.

Not long after Zhao Jingyu left, news came from the palace that Prince Rui was going to marry a Xiongnu princess, and the news quickly spread like wildfire.

Yuchuan heard some gossip outside and came back to tell her curiously, "I heard that when the emperor mentioned this matter, the prince disagreed and insisted on leaving the palace. But he came back in less than half a day and directly agreed to the marriage. Isn't that strange, young lady?"

Su Jin was looking at the shoe upper made by Jin Chuan. Upon hearing this, the shoe upper fell to the ground and was covered with dust. Yu Chuan bent down to pick it up, but saw that Su Jin looked a little dazed.

"Girl, girl? What's wrong with you?"

Su Jin responded, came back to his senses, and then smiled: "It's okay, the prince has always been very good. He has the world in his heart. He has not married at the age of 28 and has devoted himself to state affairs. Now that he agrees to this marriage, doesn't it prove that the prince is noble?"

Even Su Jin finally understood what Zhao Jingyu came here for that day.

I guess he wanted to tell her about his marriage with the Xiongnu princess, but for some reason, he didn't mention a single word.

Alas, a man’s heart is as unpredictable as the sea.

Su Jin took the shoe upper from Yuchuan and handed it to Jinchuan: "This pattern is good, I like it, let's make it according to this."

Jin Chuan nodded, and peace returned to the mansion.

In August, the corn and potatoes on the farm had a good harvest. Ning Ruolan invited everyone to dinner and announced her marriage. The man was not Xie Huaiguang, but the future richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty mentioned in the book.

Su Jin: ...

Ah, it has changed again. Many things in the book have changed. Is it because of my coming?

But she didn't do anything, she didn't even destroy the relationship between the male and female protagonists, so why didn't they get together?

Su Jin was puzzled, but nothing could compare to the aroma of delicious food.

Ning Ruolan made a full meal of potatoes, including dry-pot potatoes, potato cakes, mashed potatoes, French fries, cold shredded potatoes, potato chips, potato wedges, minced meat potatoes, roasted potatoes, and baked potatoes...

Su Jin showed a satisfied expression while eating. After being here for so long, she finally got to eat potatoes and peppers. How great!

Emma, ​​heroine, now all we need are tomatoes and sweet potatoes. It will be perfect if we get them back, really!

"Aunt, try this pine nut corn, and corn and pork ribs soup. This roasted corn is also delicious. There are also corn cakes and fish slices..."

Su Jin's belly was round from eating so much.

Corn, just like potatoes, tastes good no matter how you eat it.

"I have discussed this with Prince Rui. We have strictly controlled the export of these seeds. I have also told the people to be on guard. We will not give seeds to people outside who want them. All grain sales must be approved by the government, and the people cannot buy and sell them at will..."

Ning Ruolan explained the established laws, but Su Jin felt that even if they were strictly controlled, they would not be able to contain the evil. Sooner or later, the evil would flow out. However, if the Great Zhou could take advantage of this gap to develop rapidly, the country would be strong by then, and the evil would not pose any threat to the Great Zhou if it flowed out.

However, these are political affairs and are beyond her ability.

The best she could do was eat, drink and lie down.

So, potatoes and corn were eaten all winter.

This year, the grain harvest is good, and the tenants can all have enough to eat, and there is even some surplus. It's just that ordinary people can't get these grains now, and even if they are promoted, the speed is not so fast. They are only circulated among wealthy households and bureaucrats first. Zhao Jingcheng wants to make a fortune from the new seeds. Now is the best time to reap the money from the wealthy households. But Zhao Jingcheng is not stupid. The country is also hoarding this kind of grain. When the merchants want to raise prices to make a fortune, the hoarded seeds will be sold at a low price to balance the price. Isn't it perfect?

But now, because the people cannot get seeds for the time being, the tenants, although jealous, dare not leave their slavery and return to farming. Because they cannot get seeds, they still cannot have enough to eat if they go back to farming. It is better for them to be tenants on the farm, where they can have enough to eat and be rich.

However, all the surplus has been converted into silver and money, and they will not be given seeds for the time being.

Many times, the implementation of a policy cannot be completed in a short period of time. It takes three to five years before the results can be slowly seen.

However, the current situation is already good for the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou has even been in contact with the newly enthroned Khan of the Xiongnu and has begun to discuss the possibility of buying and selling grain and trading horses.

The rich cannot sell their new grain seeds to the common people at high prices, but they can sell them to outsiders at high prices after they are ripened. Aren’t the Huns outsiders?

Zhao Jingcheng doesn't care if outsiders raise prices, because they are not his own people.

That winter, a letter came from his hometown in Hexi, asking Su Jin whether he wanted to move back to Hexi.

Su Jin replied that she would not go back for the time being because she wanted to be with her children.

Once again using children as an excuse.

But the old patriarch didn't know. Su Bingzhi thought that Su Jin really missed the children, but what he didn't know was that Su Jin lingered in Ning Ruolan's club every day and was now the highest-level VIP of the club.

Prince Rui's marriage is scheduled for September of next year, and the etiquette officials in the palace have already started to get busy. It is said that the Huns also plan to wait until the warm spring comes and then take the princess to the capital.

However, these things were very far away from Su Jin. She just lay on the chaise longue on the top floor of the club, enjoying the services of various handsome men, one serving her tea, another serving her snacks, some massaging her legs, some singing opera, some entertaining her...

Well, that's how life should be, isn't it?

This is what life is all about.
