Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Yunwu Town, Fengzhai.

"Master, there is a letter for you, from Shangjing." Feng Yi walked quickly into the study with the letter.

Feng Qingyu took the envelope with some doubts, opened it, and saw the words written in vigorous and powerful handwriting on the letter paper:

"My son personally declares:

I am very relieved to hear that you are well. I have something important to tell you. The land of Chuanzhou is the fief of the crown prince and later became the granary of our country. Its importance is self-evident. Recently, I heard that there was a rumor that the grain in Chuanzhou has increased. Such matters are of great importance and cannot be discussed in a trivial manner. I hope my son can take strict precautions and mobilize all forces to ensure that not a single grain of grain in Chuanzhou is lost, and not a single grain of grain can be allowed to leave Chuanzhou. This is a major event for our Feng family and we cannot be careless at all.

The grain of Sichuan Province is the foundation of the country and the lifeline of the people. If it is lost, not only will our Feng family lose face, but it will also endanger the safety of the country. Therefore, I hope my son can understand the deep meaning of this and put it into action. You must know that the safety of the country depends on my son. I hope he can live up to your trust and keep the grain storage in Sichuan Province safe.

"Father"

"The messenger from the master is outside asking for an audience," Feng Yi said.

Feng Qingyu raised his head, his eyes were sharp, and he responded in a steady voice: "Bring him in."

Feng Yi bowed slightly and turned quickly to carry out the order.

After a while, a dusty messenger was brought in.

He was wearing a grey robe, his face was filled with fatigue, but there was a determination in his eyes.

He knelt on the ground, presented a sealed letter with both hands, and said respectfully: "Feng Yu greets the young master. This is another secret letter from the master."

Feng Qingyu took the letter, opened it gently, and quickly scanned the letter paper.

His brows gradually furrowed, and it was obvious that the contents of the letter shocked him a little.

He raised his head and looked at Feng Yu who was kneeling in front of him, with a hint of doubt in his voice: "What is my father planning to do?"

Feng Yu took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself down.

He raised his head, looked at Feng Qingyu, and replied in a deep voice: "The master has decided to join the prince's camp and fully support the prince in his fight for the throne. It is said that Chuanzhou has developed three-season rice, and this high-yield crop is crucial to the security of the army. This news was blocked by the Nangong family, and they intend to monopolize this advantage. Some time ago, Nangong Rong and the master reached an agreement not to let a single grain of food flow out of Chuanzhou."

Hearing this, Feng Qingyu's face showed a complicated expression.

He knew well what his father's decision meant, and he also understood the cruelty and ruthlessness of this battle for the throne.

He sighed and shook his head helplessly: "So, our Feng family is still involved in this dispute after all."

Feng Yu lowered his head, with a hint of bitterness in his voice: "My young master, the master is at his wit's end. The situation in the court is turbulent now, and the struggle between the crown prince and the second prince is becoming increasingly fierce. The master believes that only by standing on the side of the crown prince can we preserve the foundation of our Feng family."

The young master was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Well, I understand. You go back and tell my father that I will fully support his decision." Although his voice was calm, there was a firm light in his eyes.

He understood that as the heir of the Feng family, he had the responsibility and obligation to protect the family's honor and interests.

Feng Yu looked at the young master deeply, then stood up and bowed again: "Thank you, young master." He turned and left, disappearing into the night.

The study room regained its tranquility once again, but Feng Qingyu's heart was in turmoil.

He knew that he was about to face an unprecedented challenge.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly, but the scene in Feng's house was busy and orderly.

"Second Master, I just received a message from Miss Jiang, asking you to take some time to go to Jiangjia Village." Hong Chang hurried into the study, with a trace of sweat and an anxious expression on her face, "It seems to be about the purchase of the second season of the three-season rice."

Feng Qingyu was flipping through a file. When he heard Hong Chang's words, he looked up, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. He put the file down, stood up, and smiled slightly: "As expected of her, she really managed to grow it."

"Well," Feng Qingyu glanced at the sun outside the window and said to Hong Chang, "We'll go to Jiangjia Village in a few days."

Hong Chang nodded in agreement.

At the same time, deep in the capital of Chuanzhou, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

Liu Zhezhen, the governor of Sichuan Province, was sitting at his desk reviewing documents. His eyes were sharp and deep.

At this time, Liu Zhezhen's confidant Liu Shu walked quickly into the study, with a solemn look on his face and a sealed letter tightly in his hand.

He walked up to Liu Zhezhen, bowed respectfully, and then whispered, "My Lord Governor, this is a secret letter from the Crown Prince."

When Liu Zhezhen heard the word "Crown Prince", his brows frowned slightly, but he immediately regained his composure.

He stretched out his hand and motioned Liu Shu to hand over the letter.

Liu Shu respectfully handed the letter over with both hands, then stepped aside and waited quietly for Liu Zhezhen's reaction.

Liu Zhezhen took the letter, gently opened the seal, and began to read the contents.

His expression kept changing with the words in the letter, sometimes he was in deep thought, sometimes he frowned, and sometimes he nodded.

Obviously, the information contained in this secret letter is of vital importance to Chuanzhou and Liu Zhezhen himself.

After reading the letter, Liu Zhezhen took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with complex light.

He raised his head, looked at Liu Shu, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know the content of this letter?"

Liu Shu shook his head and replied, "Your Excellency, I am only responsible for delivering the letter and I do not know the specific content of the letter."

Liu Zhezhen nodded to show his understanding.

He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bright sunshine and the bustling streets outside the window, but in his heart he was thinking about every word and every sentence in the prince's secret letter.

He knew that this secret letter would have a profound impact on his and Chuanzhou's future.

"Send someone to notify the county magistrates of Sichuan Province to hold a meeting tomorrow. I have important matters to notify." Liu Zhezhen put down the secret letter in his hand, looked at Liu Shu, his voice firm and powerful.

Liu Shu immediately understood, nodded and replied, "I'll arrange it right away." He turned around and quickly left the study, ready to convey the governor's order.

Liu Zhezhen returned to the desk and sat down again, a pensive expression on his face.

Liu Zhezhen knew very well that as a person promoted by the Nangong family and also a supporter of the prince, he must stand on the prince's side at the critical moment.

He understood that he had a heavy responsibility, not only for the Nangong family, but also to maintain the status of the prince and the stability of the court.

Liu Zhezhen sat in the study, holding the secret letter from the prince tightly in his hand, with a complicated expression on his face.

He thought he knew the situation in Chuanzhou very well, but he didn't expect that Chuanzhou would have a miracle of "three-season rice", and he was the last person to know about it. The suddenness of this news surprised and annoyed him.
