When the time comes for it to fall, Heaven will naturally send its own; I cannot interfere with cause and effect any longer!
Emperor Shengkang knew that Taoism emphasized cause and effect, and upon hearing this, he still harbored some doubts about Chi Yu's identity.
Although I saw her conjure fruit out of thin air.
But who says the one who gives the fruit is a fairy? What if it's a demon?
Also, it rained in various places before, who said it was definitely her who caused it?
What if she's a powerful demon who can figure it out?
Emperor Shengkang thought this in his heart, but dared not say it aloud.
Upon hearing this, he thought for a moment and then asked:
"Can we give you sweet potatoes and potatoes? It's not snowing, and we're afraid it will interfere with the cause and effect."
Then provide these two types of food rations, and I will wait until the beginning of the year to have the people of the Ministry of Agriculture cultivate and preserve seeds on a large scale.
This is something that benefits the people of the world; it's equivalent to doing good deeds and accumulating merit. Shouldn't it be harmless?
Indeed, Chi Yu had accumulated quite a few potatoes and sweet potatoes in his space.
It can be said that it is measured in tens of thousands of catties.
However, she wanted to bring it back to Le'an City so that the people of Le'an City could plant it first.
Judging from Emperor Shengkang's current attitude, she knew she had no choice but to give it to him.
But she was unwilling to just give it away like that.
Of course, this is a great thing that benefits the country and its people, but it is unrealistic to sell it at an extremely high price like unscrupulous merchants.
After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Yes, but how much does Your Majesty want?"
Of course, I originally intended to popularize it in Le'an City first.
If I give it to you, it will be at least half a year later for my Le'an City.
"I'll sell it to the imperial court for fifty coins per pound first, Your Majesty. What do you think?"
Emperor Shengkang was not someone who was ignorant of the necessities of life.
As an emperor, he needed to know the prices of the five grains.
Upon hearing that it cost fifty coins per pound, he thought it was extremely expensive.
But this is a rare item, or perhaps something that doesn't even exist in this world.
Le'an City is now in dire need of reconstruction. It is Chi Yu's fiefdom, and her money will likely be used there.
He took it as a grant from the imperial court!
Thinking this, he nodded and replied:
"The price is acceptable. I need 200,000 catties each of potatoes and sweet potatoes."
Of the more than 300 acres of land in the pond, at least 250 acres are planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes.
She could provide the amount Emperor Shengkang wanted, but she didn't want to.
Her priority was naturally her own fiefdom.
Therefore, I heard her say, "Fifty thousand catties, I can only give fifty thousand catties of each of these two types."
“Our Da Chu region is vast, 50,000 jin is far too little.”
Even if the Si Nong Temple successfully grows two crops, the yield will not be enough to distribute to various regions.
Eighty thousand catties each, no less!
"Give me 80,000 catties each, and I will send an imperial edict to your Chi clan, how about that?"
Chi Yu never expected that this dog emperor would use the imperial edict as a bargaining chip.
Unfortunately, she still needed this.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Isn't it only right that I receive an imperial edict from the Chi clan?"
Besides potatoes and sweet potatoes, I send rain to various places and donate money and grain to northern Xinjiang.
They built a cement workshop to reinforce the city walls.
Moreover, he guided the Marquis of Zhenbei and his men to upgrade their artillery for combat.
Finally, the soldiers of the northern frontier won the battle, and I took out gifts to hold a victory celebration banquet for them in the name of the royal family.
"What I've done, aside from granting me a mere Princess Le'an, wouldn't it be unreasonable to grant my Chi clan an imperial decree?"
Emperor Shengkang knew all about what Chi Yu had done.
As she recounted them one by one, his face flushed.
Only then did he completely dispel all his suspicions that she might not be a fairy, but a demon.
He thought that apart from fairies with great love in their hearts, there shouldn't be many demons who could do what she did.
