Zhou Jia hurriedly knelt down. “Your Majesty, Madam said that Your Majesty is a benevolent ruler who cares about the people. The heavens only gave the high-yielding grain seeds to Great Yong. Madam also said that the sweet potatoes were brought back to Great Yong by a merchant selling flowers and plants. Without his family, she wouldn’t have been able to find the seeds.”

Chu Yuhao sighed and said, “Madam Li is still as open-minded and pure as ever. Jiahe, you’re very lucky.”

“Hehe! I think so too.”

Chu Yuhao looked at Zhou Jia, who was smiling foolishly, but he was very happy in his heart. He felt that he should hire more ministers like Zhou Jia in the future.

Chu Yuhao suddenly remembered that Li Yu still had a younger brother in the Hanlin Academy. He wanted to get someone to pay attention to Li Qing and see if he could be used.

Not long after Zhou Jia left, Li Yu fed the children and brought the sweet potatoes at home to the farmstead. She cut off the sweet potato vines on the farmstead and planted them again.

After digging up the sweet potatoes in the ground and washing them, she asked Zhao Cai and Han San to go to the river and dig up a few baskets of fine sand to start preparing for the seedlings.

Li Yu got someone to wash sweet potatoes in warm water and soak them in warm water for a while.

Zhao Cai and Han San returned with the fine sand. Li Yu asked them to drench the fine sand a few times with boiling water. After the fine sand was cold, she laid a thick layer of it on the pit that had been dug in advance.

She placed the sweet potato seeds upright on the fine sand and picked one end up=

After Haitang noted it down seriously, she complained to Li Yu again. Li Yu smiled and said, “Your memory is very good. If you can’t remember anything, get Han San to teach you according to the records in the booklet.”

Haitang smiled shyly. “Madam, I feed a few pigs every day. After raising those chickens and ducks for so long, my mother-in-law said that people are going to grow lazy bones on such a day.”

Li Yu took a look at Haitang, whose skin had turned much fairer. “You should recuperate well in winter. You can only have the energy to work in spring. Next, you have to plow out the few acres of land outside the house and wait for the potato seedlings to come out to plant. ”

“Yes, Madam,” Haitang replied.

Li Yu went to the shallow mountain at the back to take a look and realized that this mountain was a little strange. It was good to rely on the bamboo forest on this side of the village. There were only a few small bushes outside. What was exposed to the ground was a black stone-like thing. Li Yu wondered to herself if it could be coal.

Looking at the sky, she decided to check next time. She instructed Han San to hire tenants to circle the foot of the mountain near the pool and build a chicken and duck shed to raise a large number of chickens, ducks, and geese.

After making the arrangements, Li Yu returned to the capital. She would wait for the sweet potato seedlings to grow to six inches long and have five to six petals before returning to the farm to teach them how to plant.

When Li Yu returned home, she saw a few sandalwood boxes and boxes in the house. Granny Yang went forward happily and reported, “Madam, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager rewarded you, Master, and the three young masters.”

“Why are there so many things? Isn’t Master back yet?”

“Master isn’t back yet. He said he has important official business to attend to.”

Li Yu opened the box and saw a box filled with cloth. Some contained exquisite things, pens, ink, rice paper, and books.

An entire set of jewelry was in the box. Li Yu was dazzled.

There was also a full box of golden seeds in various shapes. There were small fish, golden lambs, little golden pigs, golden chickens… Li Yu felt that Chu Yuhao had taken pains to prepare the gifts. Even the golden pines that he rewarded people with were in the form of food.

The next day, Chu Fu brought some vegetables and meat to the Zhou family. When he saw Li Yu, he bowed happily. “Madam Li, I’m here to learn how to plant sweet potatoes from you.”

Li Yu didn’t expect Chu Fu to be so proactive. She smiled and said, “I went to the Wang Family Village yesterday to plant it. It’s more than half a month before it can be transplanted. When the time comes, I’ll get Ruyi to call you over to the Wang Family Village.”

“Madam, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager can’t bear to eat those sweet potatoes. They gave them to me and asked me to learn from you to plant them well.”

“His Majesty and the Empress Dowager care about the commoners. We should share their burdens.” Li Yu stood up and looked at Chu Fu. “Where do you plan to plant them? I’ll teach you how to breed.”

Chu Fu said respectfully, “Thank you, Madam Li. I plan to plant it on the farm outside the East City.”

Li Yu and Chu Fu went out of the East City together and she taught him the breeding method.

Two days later, the Zhou family and Li Qing went to the Liu family in Hengshan Town in Lin County to eat buns.

Steamed Bun Liu personally cooked buns and roasted chicken for Li Yu’s family.

After Old Master Zhou, Li Qing, and the others ate, they were all full of praise. They said that they did not expect to be able to eat such delicious buns in such a small town.

After coming out of the bun shop, Li Yu looked at the distant forest and thought ot the wild animals in the space again. She planned to go up the mountain when the children were weaned and get the wild animals out of the space to eat.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-February. Mr. Yang brought Zhang Defa’s family to the capital.

Zhang Defa’s family of three looked at the majestic city wall and thought that they would soon be able to live a good life. Their faces were flushed with excitement.

After they arrived at the city gate and had their travel passes and household register checked, Mr. Yang brought them into the city and found an inn for Zhang Defa and the others to stay.

Mr. Yang said to Zhang Defa, “Stay here and eat something and rest. I’ll go back and report to Master first. I’ll bring you to East Street tomorrow morning.”

Zhang Defa and Chen Zhaodi also felt extremely tired. “Mr. Yang, don’t worry. We’ll wait for you to arrange it.”

Mr. Yang nodded and went out to get into the carriage. The carriage swayed towards General Street.

When he arrived at the Country Lord Ning’s residence, Mr. Yang was dumbfounded by the seal on the door. He hurriedly asked someone for information and learned that Country Lord Ning’s assets had already been confiscated and she had been imprisoned.

Mr. Yang found a prison head he was familiar with. After making arrangements, he went to the prison to see Country Lord Ning.

The once enchanting Country Lord Ning had become extremely haggard. She had completely lost her former charm.

Country Lord Ning glanced at Mr. Yang and said faintly, “I didn’t expect the first person to come to see me to be Sir.”

Mr. Yang looked at Country Lord Ning with heartache and red eyes. He asked sincerely, “Madam, how did this happen? Who harmed you?”

Ning Xiangjun looked at Mr. Yang gratefully. “Many people have harmed me. Look at how much money Princess Yichun took from us. There’s also the Gu family and the Xu family… Sigh!”

Country Lord Ning sighed heavily. “What’s the use of knowing? I heard that they’re going to sentence me to exile in the northwest. Please help me buy some things for the road and some food on account of our past relationship, Mr. Yang. I haven’t eaten well in a long time.”

“Yes, Madam. I’ll definitely get it done for you. Madam, the Zhang family is still in the inn. Do we still have to go…’

Country Lord Ning looked at Mr. Yang gloomily. “Why not? You’ve spent so much effort. If you don’t use it, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?”

Mr. Yang looked at Country Lord Ning in embarrassment. “Madam, the remaining money I have has been used to set up those jailers..”
