I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

In Prince Rong's Mansion, Rong Jingming looked at the potatoes and sweet potatoes brought back by the guards and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's my fault that Yun'er finally sent back the things. I couldn't promote them."

Rong Jingming felt a little guilty in his heart. He could understand what Rong Xiuyun meant by sending the potatoes and sweet potatoes back at this time.

But he failed to help his son. How could he not feel sad?

"My lord, I can't blame you for this. If I'm to blame, it's those people who have no brains to blame. Whatever others say is what they say."

"And the Li family. If it weren't for their instigation, our potatoes and sweet potatoes would have been promoted long ago. Maybe everyone would have planted them in the fields now."

The guard looked at the potatoes and sweet potatoes in his hands angrily, and felt resentful for Rong Jing in his heart.

Rong Jingming shook his head. The biggest reason why he had been restrained by the Li family for so many years was Rong Jiao.

But Rong Jiao was his daughter after all, and he couldn't just watch something happen to Rong Jiao.

After a long while, Rong Jingming sighed.

"That's all, let's go down first. If there are people who are hungry or freezing again this winter, remember to report them. Don't let people really die."

The past few years of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been smooth sailing, and remote places like Baiyue could gain some benefits from trade with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people's lives could also be better.

But it happened that a drought occurred before the Great Zhou Dynasty. That large-scale drought not only caused immeasurable losses to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also affected areas like theirs.

Even though it only lasted a year, many people still starved to death and froze to death because the crops in the fields could not grow food.

Thinking of what happened last year, Rong Jingming felt a little powerless in his heart.

Although Dazhou did not collect taxes from their Baiyue land, he naturally did not collect them either.But the people in Baiyue Land are not good at growing crops, and the little food they grew in the past can barely sustain their own livelihood.

But last year's life-saving livelihood was gone, and even he couldn't save so many people.

Because of this, the Li family took the opportunity to cause trouble in the crowd, hoping to cause complete chaos in Baiyue.

Thinking of what the Li family did, Rong Jingming was also very angry.

But he couldn't touch the Li family because Rong Jiao was raised by the Li family.

Thinking of Rong Jiao, his daughter, Rong Jingming felt a little uncomfortable.

The guard saw that something was wrong with Rong Jingming's expression, so he shook his head and left without any further persuasion.

……

No one expected that something happened to the potatoes and sweet potatoes that were originally intended to be planted.

Rong Jingming watched the guard rush in with a pale face, his face scarred with unconcealable fear.

"Why so panic?"

Since he no longer promotes Toudu and sweet potatoes, Rong Jingming has a lot less busy things to do every day.

I originally planned to go to the backyard to accompany Jiang Lian as soon as possible after finishing my work today, but I didn't expect to see the guard looking so panicked.

"Your Majesty, it's not good. Someone in the house was poisoned. He said he was poisoned after eating potatoes secretly."

Rong Jingming suddenly stood up when he heard Tudou.

"Impossible! We have eaten potatoes and sweet potatoes before. We are all fine now. Why are we suddenly poisoned?"

The guard shook his head, "I don't know, I don't know. Your Majesty, you'd better find a doctor as soon as possible."

Although the people in the house must be punished for stealing potatoes, but now human lives are at stake, and it is about potatoes, so the guards have to report it to Rong Jingming as soon as possible.

"Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you call the doctor quickly? I will go and have a look right now."

Hearing that Rong Jingming planned to take a look in person, the guard also breathed a sigh of relief.

After going out, he immediately sent someone to ask for a doctor, and he took Prince Rong to the backyard.

"My lord, this man got poisoned after eating potatoes."

Rong Jingming frowned and looked at the man lying on the ground foaming at the mouth. It took him a long while to look at everyone.

"When did he eat potatoes secretly? Did any of you see it? Why are you sure he was poisoned by eating potatoes? Didn't he eat anything else before?"

Upon hearing Rong Jingming's question, an old man stood up.

"Your Majesty, this old slave saw him eating potatoes secretly. He came here early this morning. Before breakfast, he took the potatoes and planned to leave. Look, the potatoes he packed up over there haven't been taken away yet."

"I'm afraid he heard that sweet potatoes can be eaten raw before, so he thought about trying one, but he mistook the potatoes for sweet potatoes."

Hearing this, Rong Jingming's expression became more solemn.

If it is true as the old man said, this man's poisoning may be related to potatoes.

Thinking of this, Rong Jingming looked outside the door.

"Isn't the doctor here yet?"

"Go back to your lord, we've already sent someone to hurry you up."

As the doctor hurried over, Rong Jingming and others also looked on anxiously.

Jiang Lian looked at Rong Jingming's clenched fists and knew how worried he was at this time. She quickly walked to him and gave him silent support.

After all, this matter is related to Tudou. If there is really a problem with Tudou, I am afraid it will not be so easy to promote it in Baiyue in the future.

Feeling Jiang Lian's change, Rong Jingming's expression softened a bit.

"Your Majesty, I gave him an injection and he's fine. But he's not awake yet. I'm afraid he needs to drink more medicine to wake up."

"Okay, no matter what medicine is available, just prescribe it."

The old doctor didn't dare to delay, and immediately wrote a prescription and asked people to get the medicine.

"My lord, this is three days' worth of medicine. If he recovers in three days, he will be fine. But if his condition worsens, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

Rong Jingming knew what the old doctor meant and would not blame him.

After giving the person on the side a look, the guard immediately stepped forward and gave the old doctor the consultation fee, and then sent him out.

Looking at the man lying on the ground who was no longer twitching, Rong Jingming looked cold.

"Come here, send the person to the guest room. The guards will take turns guarding him these days. Don't let him leave at will. Except for me, no one is allowed to visit at will."

The personal guards following Rong Jingming responded before taking him away.

Jiang Lian looked at Rong Jingming's expression and couldn't help but become worried.

"My lord, this man..."

"This person dared to break into the warehouse privately and planned to take away so many potatoes and sweet potatoes. I'm afraid he did it intentionally, and I'm afraid someone was behind this."

Nowadays, potatoes and sweet potatoes have not been promoted in Baiyue, and he has not actually tested whether these products can produce high yields.

But because he trusted Rong Xiuyun, he just asked people to promote these potatoes and sweet potatoes.

But like the man who stole sweet potatoes and potatoes, he had never seen the high yield of these things with his own eyes. Why did he choose sweet potatoes and potatoes instead of taking them when he saw other things in the warehouse?
