When Minister Gu heard this, his heart trembled. He didn't expect that they would agree to exchange him for 10,000 catties of crops. 10,000 catties of crops were not worth much silver, but after the 10,000 catties of crops matured, the amount of crops planted and harvested again was not a small amount. This time when he came to Jiangnan, he planted 100,000 catties of crops on the surface, but in fact, the amount planted was even greater.

Moreover, the crops are not fully mature yet. Although they are edible, they are still a bit small. If they are planted in the second half of this year or next year, the yield will be lower than this year.

Are these people crazy?

In the past few months, he has spent countless hours going to the fields every day, looking after the crops, watching them grow and mature little by little. Now taking away 10,000 kilograms of crops is as painful as digging a piece of flesh out of his heart.

With so many crops that can be planted again after they mature, so many people will have enough food to eat.

In the past, Minister Gu would never have felt so uncomfortable. But after a few months of running around, he realized that many things in this world were not what he had experienced before.

The lives of the people were even harder than he had imagined. In the past, he could easily spend hundreds of taels of silver to buy all kinds of books, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc. But now, after planting crops, he would calculate all the big expenses in terms of crops.

What I think in my mind is that if we plant more crops and have a better harvest, people all over the world will live a better life.

"Have a meal."

Although these people kidnapped Minister Gu, they did not want to kill him. After all, if a third-rank official of the imperial court was really killed by them, where would the emperor put his face? Even if these people fled to the ends of the earth, they would be caught.

Minister Gu looked at these masked men, the seafood in front of him, and the bowl of rice, and he started eating immediately.

Seeing Minister Gu eating his meal elegantly, the people guarding him were a little surprised.

This high-ranking official of the imperial court is really courageous. Now that his life or death is unknown, he is still eating so calmly.

"You'd better pray that Prince Chen and Princess Chao'an will agree to exchange you for food, otherwise, we will throw you into the sea to feed the fish..."

Minister Gu glanced at the man and continued eating.

Minister Gu pretended to be calm, but he was still a little worried. Prince Chen and Princess Chao'an would definitely exchange 10,000 kilograms of crops for him, but he felt sorry for the crops. Now was the time for them to grow, and more than 10,000 kilograms of crops were destroyed.

These bastards!!! When he is safe, he will definitely take revenge.

General Wei was naturally familiar with this sea area and sent some soldiers who were good at swimming to investigate the situation.

The island where the criminals were staying was soon identified.

At night, when these people were still fast asleep, the troops from the camp outside Beijing and the garrison in the south of the Yangtze River had already reached the island.

When Minister Gu heard the noise, he opened his eyes and saw the guards around the Prince of Qin. His eyes widened and then he looked at him with surprise.

"Shhh."

Qin Er signaled Minister Gu to speak more quietly, and he took Minister Gu on the boat, heading in the direction they came from.

Qin Ye looked at the ships not far away and felt very anxious. He originally wanted to be the vanguard, but General Wei did not agree. Instead, he sent General Xiao and other soldiers from the Jiangnan garrison.
