Zhou Jia quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Chen said that Your Majesty is a benevolent king who cares about the people. God gave high-yielding grain seeds to Dayong. Madam Chen also said that the sweet potatoes were brought back to Dayong by the merchants selling flowers and plants. Without him, she No sweet potato seeds to be found either.”

Chu Yuhao sighed: "Mrs. Li is still as open-minded and pure as ever. Jiahe, you are very lucky."

"Hehe! I think so too."

Chu Yuhao looked at Zhou Jia who was smiling silly, but he was very happy in his heart. He felt that he should appoint more ministers like Zhou Jia who care about the family and love their family.

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

Not long after Zhou Jia left, Li Yu fed the children, took the sweet potatoes from home to Zhuangzi, cut off the sweet potato vines on Zhuangzi and planted them again.

After the sweet potatoes were dug out and cleaned, Zhao Cai and Han San were asked to go to the river to dig out a few baskets of fine sand and start preparing the seedlings.

Li Yu asked someone to soak the washed sweet potatoes in warm water, wash them again, and soak them in warm water for a while.

Zhaocai and Han San came back with fine sand. Li Yu asked them to pour the fine sand several times with boiling water. After the fine sand cooled down, they spread a thick layer of fine sand in the pit that had been hoeed in advance. Inside.

Place the sweet potato seeds upright on the fine sand, with the picked end pointing upward. After placing the sweet potato seeds, cover them with about an inch of fine sand and a layer of straw. Carefully explain the things that need to be paid attention to in crabapples.

After Haitang wrote it down carefully, she told Li Yu again. Li Yu smiled and said, "You have a good memory. If you can't remember anything, let Han San teach you according to what is recorded in the book."

Haitang smiled shyly, "Madam, I only feed a few pigs every day and raise those chickens and ducks for such a long time. My mother-in-law said that people will develop lazy bones in days like this."

Li Yu glanced at Begonia, whose skin had turned a lot whiter. "It's time to take good care of yourself in the winter, so that you can have the energy to work in the spring. Next, all the acres of land outside the house will be plowed out, and the potato seedlings will be planted."

"Yes, ma'am." Haitang responded.

Li Yu went to look around the shallow mountain behind again, and found that the mountain was a bit strange. The bamboo forest was growing well on the side near the village, but there were only some small shrubs growing sparsely on the side outside, and what was exposed on the ground were black stone blocks. Something, Li Yujue thought to himself: Could it be coal?

After looking at the sky, I decided to check it out next time. He ordered Han San to hire tenants to enclose an area at the foot of the mountain near the waterhole, build chicken and duck sheds, and raise a large number of chickens, ducks and geese.

After the arrangements were made, Li Yu returned to Beijing and waited for the sweet potato seedlings to grow to six inches long with five or six leaves before returning to Zhuangzi to teach them how to plant them.

When Li Yu came home, he saw several sandalwood boxes and several boxes in the house. Aunt Yang came forward with joy and reported: "Madam, these are gifts that your Majesty and the Queen Mother have given to you, the master, and the three young masters. "

"Why are there so many things? Isn't the master back yet?"

"The master hasn't come back yet. He said he has important business to deal with."

Li Yu opened the box and saw boxes full of cloth, some containing exquisite gadgets, pens and ink, rice paper and books.

There was a complete set of jewelry in the box, and Li Yu was dazzled by it.

There was also a box full of golden seeds made into various shapes, including small fish, corns, ears of rice, ears of wheat, golden lambs, golden pigs, golden roosters... Li Yu felt that Chu Yuhao was not the same. Easy, even the gold nuggets given as rewards are edible.

The next day, Chu Fu brought some vegetables and meat to Zhou's house. After seeing Li Yu, he happily saluted, "Mrs. Li, I came to you to learn how to grow sweet potatoes."

Li Yu didn't expect Chu Fu to be so active, and said with a smile: "I went to Wangjia'ao yesterday to plant the seeds. It will take more than half a month to transplant. Then I will ask Ruyi to ask you to go to Wangjia'ao together."

"Madam, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother were reluctant to eat those sweet potatoes, so they gave them to me and asked me to learn how to grow sweet potatoes from you."

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother care about the people, and we should share their worries." Li Yu stood up and looked at Chu Fu, "Where do you plan to plant it? I will teach you how to raise seedlings."

Chu Fu said respectfully: "Excuse me, Mrs. Li, I plan to plant it on Zhuangzi outside Dongcheng."

Li Yu went to the outside of Dongcheng with Chu Fu and taught him the breeding method.

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

Baozi Liu personally cooked steamed buns and roasted chicken for Li Yu and his family.

After eating, Mr. Zhou and Li Qing were full of praise, saying that they never expected 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 mountains and forests in the distance, and thought about the wild animals in space again. He planned to go up the mountain to eat the wild animals in space after the child was weaned.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-February, and Mr. Yang took Zhang Defa and his family to Kyoto.

Zhang Defa's family of three looked at the majestic city wall, thinking that they would soon be able to live a good life of being slaves and slaves, and everyone was superior to others. Their faces flushed with excitement.

After arriving at the city gate, after checking the road signs and household registration, Mr. Yang took them into the city and found an inn for Zhang Defa and several people to stay.

Mr. Yang said to Zhang Defa: "You guys stay here and have something to eat and rest for a while. I will go back and report to the master first, and I will come and take you to Dongdajie tomorrow morning."

Zhang Defa and Chen Zhaodi also felt exhausted, "Mr. Yang, don't worry, we will be here waiting for you to make arrangements."

Mr. Yang nodded, went out and got in the car, and the carriage swayed towards Jiangjun Street.

When he arrived at Xiangjun's mansion, Mr. Yang was dumbfounded when he saw the seal on the door. He hurriedly asked someone for information and learned that Ningxiangjun had been confiscated and thrown into jail.

Mr. Yang found a familiar prison boss, and after taking care of him, he went to the prison to meet Mr. Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiangjun, who used to be enchanting and charming in the past, has become haggard and has completely lost his former charm.

Mr. Ning Xiang glanced at Mr. Yang and said quietly: "I didn't expect that the first person to come to see me was Mr. Yang."

Mr. Yang looked at Mr. Ning Xiang with heartache, his eyes were red, and he asked sincerely: "Madam, how could this happen? Who harmed you?"

Ning Xiangjun looked at Mr. Yang with emotion, "There are many people who have harmed me. Look at how much money Princess Yichun has taken from us, as well as the Gu family, the Xu family..., ugh!"

Ning Xiangjun sighed heavily, "What's the use of knowing it? I heard that I will be sentenced to exile in the northwest. I asked Mr. Yang to help me buy some things for the road and some food for the sake of past friendship. , I haven’t had a good meal in a long time.”

"It's Madam, I will definitely handle it for you. Madam, the Zhang family is still in the inn, and we have to go..."

Mr. Ning Xiang looked at Mr. Yang with a gloomy expression, "Go, why don't you go? After spending so much effort, if you don't use it, wouldn't it be in vain?"

Mr. Yang looked at Mr. Ning Xiang in embarrassment and said, "Madam, the only money I have left has been used to pay for those prison heads."
