Lin Wanwan was also very frightened when she heard about their thrilling experiences along the way, and immediately decided to send another batch.
"What? It's so dangerous, why do you still want to send it?"
"Yeah? Can't you send it later?"
Lin Wanwan said seriously: "This is called taking the enemy by surprise! They must have let down their guard now, and are waiting for us to come to their doorstep in a while!"
Lin Jiu also nodded in agreement, "I think so too. Their attention during this period must not be on the checkpoints, but on the previous batch of goods. So, I think this time it will work!"
"Then you can set off tomorrow. Take a good rest today and I will take care of the rest!"
After lunch, she hurried to the carriage shop and sent people to buy ten carriages. She almost bought all the horses in the shop. The shopkeeper was still wondering why so many people came to buy carriages today?
Lin Wanwan asked them to continue with Lin Jiu's method and put sugar into the rice. They packed nearly 10,000 kilograms of sugar and took it to Linjia Village.
The next morning, Lin Jiu and his men hurried to the capital again.
This trip was indeed easy. When they arrived at Jing'an County, they saw only a few guards guarding there. After seeing them, they prepared to come up and search.
Lin Jiu quickly stepped forward and stuffed a small bag of silver into his hand, smiling and saying, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. I accidentally lost my purse last time and was unable to treat you all to tea. I will make it up to you today. Don't bother doing it yourself, I'll ask them to open them all!"
Lin Wen and the others were also very perceptive. They started opening the grain bags without waiting for them to finish speaking.
The leading soldier touched the money bag in his hand, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go!"
"Okay! Thank you, sir!"
They arrived at the Yun family sugar shop smoothly, and after unloading the goods, they quickly retreated, not giving them any time to react.
After hearing this, some people were so angry that they smashed many teacups, and the shops selling tea sets were delighted.
When Fu Junyi found out, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha! This Lin Wan! She's really brave and smart! She's going to make those people die of anger at home! Hahahaha..."
Fu Qiu couldn't help laughing, "They were just waiting to see what you would do after the last batch of sugar was sold out, but who would have thought that Miss Lin would send another batch right after that. I heard that a doctor was called to the old house tonight!"
"Hahaha! I don't know which one of them got so angry that he had an emergency. Come back with me tomorrow and take a look and comfort them!"
"Pfft! Sir, you are not going to cause trouble for them when you go back, are you?"
"Well, Fu Dong has finally made some progress. He can use his brain now?"
"Sir! You just laugh at me!"
Emperor Hui in the palace couldn't help laughing when he heard Eunuch Cao talk about what had happened in the past few days.
"Is this little girl really that powerful?"
"I sent someone to investigate. It is true that the eldest son of the Fu family had only come into contact with Lin Wan, and that the sugar was also shipped from the manor that you gave to Lin Wan."
"Hahaha! Interesting, very interesting. Even the art of war is used here. What a great way to catch the enemy off guard and conceal their intentions!"
"Your Majesty, this woman is extremely intelligent. Do you want to continue investigating?"
Emperor Hui waved his hand and said, "No need to continue investigating. Let those people come back. She is smart and will definitely notice it. It's not beautiful."
"I have found out two things. Miss Lin told me before that there is something very good, but it was not confirmed at that time. This time, I heard someone report that she planted a kind of potato that can produce more than 4,000 kilograms per mu. If it is planted in spring, it can produce at least 5,000 kilograms. At present, we are preparing to test it on a small scale. If it can be introduced to the northwest for planting, then the people will have enough food to eat, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Hui looked at him in shock, "Are you serious? Yield of more than 4,000 kilograms per mu? What is that?"
Eunuch Cao smiled and nodded, "It's something similar to sweet potatoes, but easier to grow, more productive, and more drought-resistant. It has been confirmed that it can yield more than 4,000 kilograms per mu."
"Great! Send someone to check it out! Bring the things back for me to see!"
"Your Majesty! Don't worry, they have already stolen, no, brought back some. I will ask the imperial kitchen to cook it for you tomorrow!"
Emperor Hui looked at him with amusement and stood there in silence.
"Your Majesty, I have no choice. Miss Lin is watching her closely. She won't sell any of them. She's just waiting for spring to plant them. She doesn't even want to eat them herself."
"Well, don't worry. If it's really as you said, Gao Zhuowen will be delivered by himself."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"What's the other thing?"
Eunuch Cao leaned forward and spoke to him in a low voice.
When Emperor Hui heard this, he asked in surprise, "Is this true?"
"It's true! But some things involve the previous dynasty, so our people were not allowed to have further contact."
"Well, you did a good job. It seems that things are going to change in this imperial city! Some reptiles are about to surface..."
Lin Wanwan didn't care how turbulent their undercurrents were. She only knew that Fu Junyi was now trapped in the capital and couldn't move freely. This meant that the sugar and braised pork businesses were at risk, which she certainly couldn't tolerate.
Immediately, she asked someone to process a batch of bamboo. She dried the bamboo first, pierced the middle, cleaned it, poured white sugar in, sealed the opening tightly, and then sent it to the capital.
This time, Lin Jiu took the official route directly, and no one came to check on him, so he was sent to his destination smoothly.
Lin Wanwan was satisfied and thought it was enough, so she stopped.
On the Lantern Festival, lanterns are hung on every street in the county. Only tonight is it so lively, with people admiring the lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, eating Yuanxiao, and many other programs.
Lin Wanwan also made Yuanxiao with various flavors, including sesame, red bean, and peach jam. There was nothing she couldn’t do, as long as they couldn’t think of it!
