For Fang Shizhong at this moment, food is more important.
Therefore, the task of transporting water from the moat was entrusted to County Magistrate Zheng.
He himself, along with County Lieutenant Wang, Registrar Lin, and Constable Lü, followed Chi Yu towards Qingping Lane.
When he saw with his own eyes that the empty house next to Qin Mu's house was filled with grain, he was completely stunned.
Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Lin, the registrar who hadn't spoken the whole way, called out softly, "Sir?"
Once Fang Shizhong came to his senses, he was ecstatic, as if he had been injected with adrenaline.
"Mr. Chi, are all these to be donated to the soldiers in the northern frontier?"
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are all high-yield grains, especially potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are also drought-resistant.
He even saw baskets of rice and wheat in the corner.
Although it wasn't much, only a few hundred pounds each, it was good grain.
Moreover, there were also many dried alfalfa packages in baskets.
This is meant to be used to feed the horses.
At this point, who would be willing to give away something like this?
Another one given out, and this is all of it?
It's important to know that the Chi family is neither landlords nor wealthy households!
Chi Yu saw that even in his highly excited state, Fang Shizhong was still able to confirm with her again whether all of them should be donated.
Because of this, my impression of him improved even more.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, confirmed!"
Previously, when we were in the prefectural city, Sister Qiao said that when we were in the capital, the Sixth Princess told her that the entire Great Chu Kingdom was suffering from drought.
She also said that on her way back, she heard that the situation in northern Xinjiang was particularly serious.
I don't understand any grand principles, I only know that the soldiers guarding the northern border are the ones who bear the burden on the frontier, which is why we have the peace we enjoy today.
If I can't grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, then even if I want to help them, I can't do anything about it.
Now that I have been blessed by Heaven to grow these things, I naturally want to give back to them and accumulate more good deeds for my descendants.
I know that sweet potatoes and potatoes can be used as seeds right now, and they are extremely expensive.
But since the decision has already been made to donate it, the question of whether to exchange it, and how to exchange it, is left to you, sir.
Chi Yu's words struck a chord with Fang Shizhong.
He knew that Chi Yu had many secrets, just as he knew that Qin Mu knew this secret, and that sweet potatoes and potatoes had never been grown in the mountains surrounding Chijia'ao.
He didn't want to dig deeper; as long as Qin Mu had no ulterior motives and Chi Yu was on his side, that was enough.
Now, every move Chi Yu makes proves that he didn't trust the wrong person.
Therefore, as a legitimate prince born into the imperial family, he is very likely to become the ruler of the Great Chu in the future.
At that moment, he bowed directly to the fish in the pond.
"Mr. Chi, on behalf of the soldiers of the Northern Frontier, I thank you for your righteousness. Thank you very much!"
The fish quickly dodged, feigning helplessness, and hurriedly said:
"My lord, please get up quickly, don't make me feel so bad."
Amu was originally a soldier in the northern frontier, and I am merely a family member who wanted to do my part.
Having said that, she quickly changed the subject:
"My lord, it's getting hotter every day, you should make arrangements for these things as soon as possible."
I've been so busy every day that I haven't had a proper rest, so I'm going home now.
After saying that, she gave a slight bow and turned to leave.
It was too hot, and since she had already given away the things, Chi Yu decided to go find her older brother and sister later.
Ask them if they're going back to Chijia'ao. If they are, rush back tonight; they might be home before noon tomorrow.
Just as Chi Yu returned home, filled the well, and took out the carriage, he heard his older sister and older brother's voices outside.
