Forced to farm for the princess

"Ajin, don't be angry... I never thought that I would live without you in the rest of my life." Lin Heng was a little anxious, and Wei Ruojin looked unhappy.

"Ajin..."

Wei Ruojin pulled Lin Heng over and said, "I'm not angry, I'm just..." He didn't know what to say for a while, but he was more angry with himself, "I just can't figure it out, Ah Heng, do you understand? He Not a prisoner, not a sinner, but he was locked in a dungeon by us."

"I thought we could let him go, but..."

But the reality made him unable to let Wei Yuan go, as soon as Wei Yuan went out, the Wei family would immediately unite with other families to fight back.

"I know you are soft-hearted, but some things cannot be solved by being soft-hearted. Once Wei Yuan goes out, his life will really be lost. Besides, although the Northwest is bitterly cold, the benefits that can be obtained are enough to make other aristocratic families move." Put your mind to it. Otherwise, it’s impossible for the Wei family to come.”

Wei Ruojin wiped her face to suppress the frustration in her heart, and couldn't help thinking deeply about what Wei Yuan said. "There is nothing special in my mother's dowry, not to mention that Wei Lun's concubine sold a lot of things. If there was any, I'm afraid I don't know where it fell."

Lin Heng sat beside him and smiled, "Don't think too much, if there is something, how could Wei Lun not know about it, after all he has received this dowry for more than ten or twenty years."

Wei Ruojin let out a long sigh of relief, "That's right, if there was anything, it would have been found out a long time ago, and Wei Yuan only said that there is something, but he didn't disclose what it is for."

"It's great that you can think so." Hearing Wei Ruojin's answer, Lin Heng was slightly relieved, as long as he didn't think wildly.Just looking at Wei Ruojin's expression, he doesn't look like he's thinking about it. "I'm not going out today, can I stay with you at home?"

Wei Ruojin finally smiled, "You don't need to stay with me specially, I have things to do myself."

Lin Heng leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth, he turned his head and opened his lips slightly to respond.Lin Heng unconsciously hugged him into his arms, getting tighter and tighter, as if trying to embed him in his body.

When Wei Ruojin woke up, she didn't feel any discomfort except that her whole body was a little sore. The silk jacket was next to her body cleanly, with a hint of coolness; Lin Heng was sitting in front of the desk not far away, watching something seriously.

It was getting dark, and the lights in the house were on. As soon as he turned over, Lin Heng heard the noise and dropped the bamboo slips and came over.

"Do you want to drink water, is there any discomfort?"

Wei Ruojin shook her head, looked at Lin Heng's face from the bottom up, and smiled inexplicably; Lin Heng was confused by the smile, and smirked along with him.

Xin Yi brought dinner, but Lin Heng didn't let him get up, and directly moved a small table and put it on the bed, "Just eat like this, I came back in the afternoon to tell you that I have to go out of the city, it will take three or four days to come back."

"I'll go with you." Wei Ruojin said without thinking.

"I went to the coal mine, and Yin Hai found someone who had experience in mining, and there will be no problem if you have written all the things you need to pay attention to before. It's hot these days, so you should stay at home."

Wei Ruojin stared at him blankly, with a wet voice, said: "You don't cherish it after you get it, do you? You don't want me to follow you now, and you used to chase me around."

Lin Heng shook his hands holding the chopsticks, and said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have it, the mine is dirty and messy, what should you do if you go and get bumped into?"

"Will you let me go?"

Lin Heng sighed, "Rang Rang Rang, then you should rest after eating."

Wei Ruojin immediately smiled and shouted, "Xin Yi, go and inform the children in the mansion that you will be leaving the city tomorrow."

Because of her injury, Wei Ruojin didn't come out for a while, and she didn't even set foot outside the city; now the mountain where the coal mine was discovered has been surrounded, and even woodcutters are not allowed to go up this mountain.

"Don't the common people make trouble?" Wei Ruojin looked at the tightly guarded place. There were a lot of temporary wooden sheds at the foot of the mountain, with only a roof, so they wouldn't be afraid of waking up from the cold when they slept at night.

"The people nearby can earn food, so why would they make trouble? What's more, there is not only one mountain here. You can't enter this mountain, you just need to enter the other one." Lin Heng got off his horse and took Wei Ruojin into the only tent.

"Then I will go to the mountain first, and I will call you if I have something to do." Wei Ruojin sorted out her things in the tent, took the important things and turned to leave, but Lin Heng pulled her back and hugged her in her arms.

"Can the body take it?"

Wei Ruojin's face was slightly hot, and she pushed lightly, "What can I do, let's go."

This time going up the mountain, Wei Ruojin didn't need to say too much, the children would disperse to find the medicinal herbs by themselves; the medicinal herbs in these Tianfu were never broken, and they would tell Steward Shang every few days to come out to find the medicinal herbs by themselves.

Wei Ruojin mainly wanted to find tea trees this time. The tea trees in his previous life were basically planted by others. Now he can only look for wild ones.

After wandering in the mountains for a long time, he really saw the tea tree. A thick layer of tea seeds had fallen from the bottom of the tea tree. exposed.

"Unfortunately, the tea-picking season is over, and the tea leaves at this time are all old." Wei Ruojin picked tea with a cloth bag tied around her waist when she was a child. She still remembered that her grandfather told him that tea-picking should not be pinched with fingernails. As for why , he still does not know.

I picked some tea fruits that hadn't grown yet, and picked up a few tea seeds that had fallen off their shells.Wei Ruojin's goal has also been achieved, and now she only needs to concentrate on finding herbs.

When it was getting dark, Wei Ruojin took the children of the palace down the mountain. As soon as he got off the mountain, he saw Lin Heng holding the epee around his waist in one hand, looking into the mountain from time to time, and he was obviously relieved when he came out.

"Aren't you tired? There's water in the tent." After taking the pannier from Wei Ruojin's back, he dragged him into the tent.

"Be careful!" A startled breath caught Wei Ruojin's attention, and when she turned her head, she saw a dark child, whose clothes were obviously too small, and had been mended a lot, revealing a large wrist and ankle, naked foot.

Another child was about to help him, it should be that child shouting to be careful.Both carried baskets on their backs that did not fit their bodies.

"I'm fine. Fortunately, the coal was not sprinkled. I can get food today." The child who fell didn't look at how he fell. His first reaction was to look at the coal in the basket.

"Be careful."

The two children wanted to help them leave.

Seeing Wei Ruojin looking over, Lin Heng knew what he wanted to ask, and said, "These are the children from the neighborhood. They can get food when they come in to carry the mines. Almost all the men in the nearby villages are like this, and there are also women who come to carry the mine. , that’s because there’s really no one at home.”

After a long time, Wei Ruojin said: "Those children are not very old."

"I don't want one that is too young, the youngest is ten years old."

Back in the tent, Wei Ruojin watched Lin Heng put the basket at the door, before he recovered, a cup of tea was stuffed in his hand, and he took a sip.He suddenly said: "Ah Heng, those children are too young to do physical work, so let them help me with the work."

"Help you work?"

Wei Ruojin nodded, "It's just a few children in the mansion and me collecting herbs, how can I use them? I still want to open a medical clinic. These herbs are common and often used. Why don't they help us to collect herbs and exchange them for food? OK?"

"Row."

Wei Ruojin was a little happy, drank the water in one gulp, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, lifted the basket again, and took out tea seeds from it, "This thing can extract oil, and it's all over the mountain. When it's ripe, we can start harvesting it."

"Press the oil, can you eat it?" Lin Heng's eyes sparkled.Seeing Wei Ruojin nodding repeatedly, she hugged him again. "Ajin, you have been lucky to me in three lifetimes."

The next day, as soon as Wei Ruojin got out of the tent, she saw many children of different ages, standing quietly in the open space, no one spoke, with a disturbed expression on their faces, almost crying.

However, seeing that it was Lin Heng standing in front of them, it became clear. Wei Ruojin walked over and took his hand, and Lin Heng's serious expression relaxed a little.

"I called you here because there is a new job for you to do. They will take you to the mountains to collect herbs. Ten catties of herbs will be exchanged for half a catty of grain." Lin Heng said very concisely. The children in the palace know all the herbs that have been picked. .

The bold ones looked at the weeds in the baskets of the children in the palace, and said, "Can anyone pick them for food?"

"Of course, as long as there are useful herbs, change them, they will teach you."

A total of ten children came to the palace. There are quite a lot of children in this village, and one person can bring two or three. Wei Ruojin saw a child who didn't talk often quickly arrange someone, so she kept silent. After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that this child was the one he brought in from outside to call the dog.

I don't know what name Mr. Qin gave him, and his medical skills are not obvious, so the allocation of manpower looks pretty good.

In the first two days, the herbs picked were relatively small. After the food was exchanged, more and more people came to exchange, including many girls and women.It is easy to collect herbs, and you can also dig some edible wild vegetables by the way; at the end of the day, there are also wild vegetables, and families with a large population also have enough food to mix with water.

[Help the villagers open source, the host gets 1500 points, and the Northwest reputation increases by 100.Please continue to encourage the host. 】

Hearing the familiar beep, Wei Ruojin was stunned again, it was rare for the system to appear twice in such a short period of time.Adding the points from this time last time, he must be better.

correct!

He can exchange for corn, and there is still time to plant it. According to the algorithm of exchanging 100 points for 80 seeds, he can exchange a lot, so I just went to see the situation over there.

But looking at the piles of herbs, he couldn't leave for a while. There are many herbs that the children of the palace can't make better. If he leaves, the herbs will have to be ruined by them.

What's more, he doesn't really want to go out, especially if he goes out for a day or two and is still close.

Lin Heng looked at the surplus grain and was worried. Some of it was sent to the army, and the rest was distributed to the miners and the villagers who collected medicine. If it goes like this, let alone the autumn harvest, it won’t last even in summer. ah.

"Ajin, do I still have to use the Chen family?"

Wei Ruojin looked up at him, "Don't you still have people around the Chen family? It's up to you if you want it or not." After finishing speaking, he continued to gather the corn together, and he exchanged two thousand credits for corn seeds, and returned There is a small half bag.

"I'm afraid the Chen family is unwilling."

Wei Ruojin fastened his pockets, and confessed: "Let Fan Wei send... what's the name of that destroyed town, send it there and hand it over to the old farmer. He knows how to plant it, and plant it all."

Without waiting for Lin Heng to answer, he said again: "The Chen family will definitely not do this kind of business again. You have cut off the family's food and want to swallow their land. Didn't the caravan that followed the Chen family last time have our own people? Let them go again?"

"It's useless, without the caravan of the family, they won't do business with strangers, especially grain trading."

"Then they have to buy the salt." Wei Ruojin approached Lin Heng, and continued, "Whether it is Dachang banning smuggled salt or the aristocratic family bans smuggling salt, you must know, as long as they are careful, the price is slightly lower than others, no matter what is new. Food or old grain can be exchanged for as much as there is one and two. I don’t believe that no one is willing to buy it.”

"That makes sense, I'll go get ready now." Lin Heng pecked at Wei Ruojin, got up and left, then turned back to pick up corn seeds.

This time the caravan is Lin Heng's soldier. Wei Ruojin just wanted to take the money, but he stopped him, "You took the money to buy grain last time, so I can't let you take it back. It's a pity that there is not enough fine salt." .”

"This is also helpless. Wait until the amount of fine salt comes up, at least until the end of the year."

No one knew about Lin Heng's caravan except him and Wei Ruojin, but when the caravan went out, several aristocratic families sent posts to the palace, all wanting to see Lin Heng.

Wei Ruojin patted his head, and said: "I just said that I thought it was weird. It turns out that the Chen family has been here for nearly two months. How could the family not move at all."

Lin Heng looked at the post, and counted in detail: "Li, Chen, Xie, and Wang are all here, only Lu shrank. It's pretty neat. It seems that what they want to do must be successful." .”

"They unite for hegemony?" Wei Ruojin looked at Lin Heng, "The Northwest is so poor, what do they want power for? Tongranjue?"

"In our eyes, it is poor because we still think about the people; they will not let go of our saltworks. Since they have sent posts, let's have a banquet in three days."

It was a rare good day to entertain the children of the aristocratic family. Although the sun was hiding behind the clouds, it didn't look muggy, but rather cool; Lin Heng and Wei Ruojin had already had breakfast and were waiting.

It was almost noon and no one came. Lin Heng's complexion was already very bad. Wei Ruojin got angry after a while, and waved to Fan Wei, saying: "The yard will be surrounded in a while, and no one will come." Do not bring weapons in."

"In the future, the aristocratic family should not try to take advantage of me!" Lin Heng could see the gloom in his eyes.

"I'll vent my anger on you later. If someone refuses to accept it, how about just surrounding him like the Chen family?" Wei Ruojin stretched out two fingers and shook Lin Heng's sleeve, which was his rare coquettish behavior.

Until noon, those people came together as if they had made an appointment. Wei Ruojin and Lin Heng sat behind, and they could clearly see the faces of these people.All of them were displeased. Don't think about it, it must be because Fan Wei told them not to bring weapons, not even decorative waist knives and sabers. "

"I delivered the post in a serious manner, but it turned out that all the younger generations came. Who are these aristocratic families looking down on?" Wei Ruojin got angry. They thought they were well-educated, but they didn't even understand the most basic manners.

Seeing that Wei Ruojin was angry, Lin Heng became annoyed, "I'll bring people to surround their house in a while, okay? It's just a side issue, and it's not their turn to ignore me."

"Okay." Wei Ruojin smiled until her eyes narrowed.

Three cups of tea have already been served, and several people got impatient with waiting, a young master said: "This palace is nothing more than that, I have waited for a long time, but I still haven't seen half of them."

"No, we only came here after receiving the reply. This prince is really outrageous for neglecting us so much."

Another person answered, "Although the ancestors of the Lin family came from a humble background, they are the fourth generation descendants here, so why haven't they learned any manners?" After the man finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.

Wei Ruojin got annoyed when he heard that, grabbed the cup in his hand and threw it at the man, the fragments scattered on the desk, the man was startled.

"I seem to have heard someone talking about etiquette here just now? But a white body makes me and the lord wait! Is this the etiquette for Wang Li to thank the Chen family?" Wei Ruojin followed Lin Heng with a cold face, his waist An epee cannot be ignored.

Wei Ruojin's words made the faces of these people turn blue and red, obviously not convinced.

He said again: "You guys handed over the post, and I thought it was a serious visit. After all, you are all surnames, so there is no one who can show it?"

"Pa" The person who uttered the first slap slapped the table with a loud slap, and as soon as he stood up, he was pushed down by the general behind him, and the person's face turned blue.

"King of the Northwest, we are here because we have something to do. Is this how you treat guests?"

Wei Ruojin smiled at Lin Heng, turned to look at the man, and asked, "Which family are you from?"

"Ben...my surname is Xie!" Mr. Xie cupped his hands, his face arrogant.

"If it's a direct branch of the Xie family in Rujiang, I might still sell a bit or two of face, forget it, Fan Wei, go and tell the Xie family that the son of the Xie family disrespected the prince and was locked up. If you want someone, just come to the door Come to make amends, and the other families are the same."

Wei Ruojin didn't want to face this group of people with eyes on top of her head anymore, so she pulled Lin Heng up and left, out of the yard, he asked, "Are you still angry, they will obediently come to apologize to you."

"I'm not angry anymore." Lin Heng smiled at him.

Wei Ruojin stood still, pulled his face and pulled it to both sides, his handsome face was deformed, he smiled and said, "I think you like to smile more and more now."

"Do you not like it?"

"like."

The children of the aristocratic family watched them leave, and when they thought of Wei Ruojin's words, their faces became even more angry.

"That's unreasonable! Lin Heng is a prince after all, and he is the prince of the Northwest. How could he listen to the words of... a man who has no shame! What is his majesty as the king of the Northwest!" The man surnamed Wang was speaking, with a heartbroken expression on his face.

"I shouldn't have come today!" After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by the generals of the palace.

Almost all the generals in the palace were survivors of the battlefield, and they deliberately showed their evil spirits, and several of them turned pale.

"You...how can you imprison us!"

Steward Shang bowed, and said: "You guys are serious. You come to the palace as guests, and the palace can't let you just drink water and leave. Please don't be impatient. After lunch, each family will come to apologize. You can go back naturally."

Steward Shang left after finishing speaking, but there were more generals in the family, and no one answered their words.

Waiting until the evening, only the Chen family came to the door with a heavy gift to make amends and returned with their own children, and the other three families did not make any movement; I am afraid that they still came to test Lin Heng's depth, and it is estimated that he would not dare to really touch the children of the aristocratic family.

It's a pity that they made a wrong calculation, not only Lin Heng dared, but also Wei Ruojin.

In the morning of the next day, the juniors of the Xie family of the Wang family and the Li family were escorted by the generals of the Wang mansion and walked for three whole streets to the gates of various houses, attracting many people to watch along the way.

However, the family of the Wangfu will be holding them while loudly proclaiming how the juniors of these families have broken the rules, lost etiquette and are disrespectful to the prince and concubine.Those few people panicked along the way.

Those family members scolded Lin Heng to their heart's content, but they closed their doors to thank guests for a few days, they couldn't afford to lose face.

After the cloudy and rainy weather, it was rare for the sun to come out well. Wei Ruojin thought about taking out the things in the warehouse to dry in the sun. After nearly two months of rain, he was afraid that the things would be damaged.

The cloth in the storehouse is afraid to dry it directly, and it is easy to fade. Unfortunately, other people cannot wear this material. He called Xin Yi, "Let the tailor come and make some clothes, and General Di's will also be prepared."

"Yes, young master." Xin Yi was holding the book, turned around and accidentally swept the jade box, and swept the whole box to the ground.

Xin Yi quickly knelt down and lowered his head, "My lord, forgive me!"

Wei Ruojin frowned, the box was his mother's dowry, because it looked old, it had been left in the storeroom untouched; it was only after he moved into the palace that he took it out and used it, counting it as a thought.

"Get up, be more careful next time." Wei Ruojin picked up the box, and several jade hairpins and jade crowns were broken, but the box couldn't be closed anymore.

"Thank you son, thank you son." Xin Yi hurriedly carried the book down, feeling her heart was about to jump out, she bit her lip and regretted her carelessness again.

"It's a pity." Wei Ruojin tried a few times, and the box was really broken. From the broken place, it can be seen that the box is made of golden nanmu.He scratched the broken part lightly with his nails, thinking, maybe it's God's will, he is more and more like the people here, and the things related to the original owner are also broken.

"Hiss." Accidentally scratched his finger at the broken place, as if he had scratched a hole in that place.

Biting his finger in his mouth, there is really a hole in the box, and there seems to be something in the hole, which cannot be seen clearly.Inexplicably, Wei Ruojin suddenly remembered what Wei Yuan said to others, did his mother really have what Wei Lun wanted?

He took a decorative dagger from the bookshelf, pried open the box, and there was actually a mezzanine inside.

There is a piece of jade half the size of a palm in the interlayer. The jade piece looks like carved bamboo, and it also looks like the word "bamboo" written in a big seal script.This piece of jade is warm to the touch, not like ordinary jade, and hidden in a golden nanmu box, it looks like a keepsake.

Wei Ruojin closed his eyes, and opened them suddenly after a long while. Only now did he realize that he hadn't found the original owner's natal family from his memory. Except for the Wei family, he couldn't find anyone or anything about the original owner's mother's relatives. normal.

Lin Heng held the piece of jade, stared at the candlelight for a long time, shook his head, "I don't know what kind of jade this is, Wei Yuan should know something."

"This is the strangest part. I thought my natal family was absorbed by the Wei family before, but now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be the case. My mother's family must have more heritage than the Wei family." Wei Ruojin stared at the jade piece , continued: "But how can they not leave any news?"

In the middle of the night, Lin Heng and Wei Ruojin came to the dungeon, Wei Yuan looked much better now than last time; at least he wasn't hanging on him anymore, and there was one more place to rest, although there was only hay.

"I've seen the prince, I've seen the princess." Wei Yuan didn't expect that there would be someone coming, he was startled, and hurriedly got up and bowed.

Wei Ruojin looked at Lin Heng, who didn't expect him to be quite tame.

"Who is my mother?" Wei Ruojin asked.

"Congratulations, young master." Wei Yuan bowed again.

Wei Ruojin is not very happy, smart people are really annoying. "Stop talking nonsense, you can answer whatever I ask you."

"I don't know, Wei Xiang and Lingtang got married in a hurry, Shili Hongzhuang is real. I heard that your family's surname is Zhu, and it only appeared once in the wedding hall." Wei Yuan continued with a smile on his face: " What the young master does not know, Wei Xiang must know."

"Do you know, I don't even have the idea of ​​looking for Wei Lun, you should worry about whether you will die of old age here." Wei Ruojin looked around and said with a smile: "It's not very comfortable to stay here. Those who can be appointed as the governor, never thought that they would never return."

The smile on Wei Yuan's face disappeared, "Is the Great Seal in your hands?"

Wei Ruojin ignored him, left the dungeon, and let out a long sigh.

"Don't worry, I will help you find out. As long as it has appeared, it will leave traces, and we will definitely find the answer." Lin Heng comforted.

"I'm not in a hurry at all, but I just think it's too weird. If you have time to worry about this, why not think about the food I planted." Wei Ruojin smiled, and she couldn't sigh often in the future, lest someone always think about it.

As soon as the day cleared, summer seemed to have arrived suddenly. On the other hand, it was sunny for a few days, and people would get headaches when they went out at noon. Wei Ruojin asked Xin Yi to buy two shops at the gate of the city, and opened up a medicine hall.

Those who came to sell the medicine directly sent the medicine to the pharmacy, and there would naturally be someone to collect it; it was a hot day, and some herbs that only needed to be dried were taught to be dried by the children who had learned in the mansion. A catty of herbs is exchanged for half a catty of grain.

It's hard to say about other places, but the villages around here are much better this spring.

Wei Ruojin formulated a lot of hemostatic and pain-relieving powders based on the existing medicinal herbs, and sent them to Di Rong's barracks by Lin Heng.Pointing and counting the days again, he excitedly dragged Lin Heng to the ruined town.

"You haven't told me what the name of the town is?" Wei Ruojin suddenly remembered that she still didn't know the name of the town.

"It was originally called Pingning Town, but it's actually not peaceful at all." Lin Heng said.

"It's okay, one day it will be safe and peaceful. Come on, I'll take you to eat tender corn." Wei Ruojin arrived in Pingning Town after a day's drive.

The town has been repaired by the soldiers and prisoners who stayed here temporarily, and it doesn't look so chaotic; but it is still less populated, and there are still many damaged houses, so this time they still live in tents.

Lin Heng was woken up by Wei Ruojin early in the morning, his face was full of excitement to go to the field to see the corn, Lin Heng had to let him go.From afar, he saw corn stalks as tall as a person. Lin Heng had never seen such grains before, so he was somewhat curious.

He still remembered that Wei Ruojin told him that two or three knots could be made on one tree.

When he got to the front, he accidentally watched Wei Ruojin slip in, and soon came out with a blue object, "I saw it just now, this corn is so tender, it may take a few days to mature, try it , so sweet."

Wei Ruojin tore off the husk of the corn and handed it to Lin Heng.Seeing him in a daze, he smiled and took a bite of the corn.

Lin Heng imitated his appearance, his eyes lit up instantly, "This food is delicious, should it be eaten raw?"

"You can eat it raw if it's tender, isn't it sweet? When it's old, grind it into noodles, steam it and eat it with noodles." Wei Ruojin took another bite, "This one is a seed."

"Unfortunately, you can't eat the one in the middle." Lin Heng quickly finished eating a stick, looking at the white core in the middle and said. "I'm afraid there are five or six taels of this stick."

"Anyway, I haven't seen people eat it, but it can be used to raise pigs and sheep." Wei Ruojin couldn't figure it out. "The ones planted late are estimated to take two months to mature."

After eating the tender corn, Wei Ruojin wanted to go back, but this time Lin Heng refused, and had to wait until the corn was ripe to pick it himself.However, this corn is not like what Wei Ruojin said, one can bear two or three cobs.

Indeed, some had two sticks, and he noticed that those with two sticks were not as good as one.But no matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective than planting rice.If these are used as seeds, maybe this wasteland can be planted entirely.

"General, son, this... this piece of land harvested just over 310 catties." Fan Wei's voice trembled a little, the land was only four quarters, and four quarters of the land actually grew more than 300 catties of grain!

"Ajin, did you hear that? More than 300 catties." Lin Heng was very happy. You must know that before this, no matter how hard the tenant farmers worked, they only had more than 200 catties of grain per mu of land. How could this not make him happy.

"I heard it, I heard it, if we fertilize well, maybe there will be more." Wei Ruojin also heaved a sigh of relief. The corn did not disappoint him. With a few rounds of variety or more points, most of the tenant farmers in the northwest can grow it. Corn, do you still have to worry about not having enough food?

"You can plant whatever you say." Lin Heng looked at the corn stalks with a much deeper look in his eyes.

"I said it's useless, and I don't know how to plant it." Wei Ruojin smiled and said, "Let the old man from before plant it. Where is that old man?"

The old man who was farming couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. The happiest thing for farmers is a good harvest.Hearing Wei Ruojin calling him, he hurried over and knelt down.Wei Ruojin quickly asked someone to help her, and said, "Old man, I will leave this corn to you. This grain is resistant to drought and high temperature."

"Yes, my little one, thank you, princess." The old man readily agreed, hesitated for a moment and said, "Princess, you said that this grain is resistant to high temperature and drought. It's only June now, so maybe we can grow it for another season."

"I haven't planted it before, but you can try it, and make a record when you try it." Wei Ruojin said.

The old man thanked him several times. Could it be that the master handed over such precious food to him.

Wei Ruojin brought a few sticks and went back to the palace with Lin Heng, and called Xin Yi to the kitchen to ask for a piece of sheep bone, chopped it into pieces with corn and stewed it.After eating and drinking enough, he half leaned on the soft couch.

"When will our caravan come back?" Wei Ruojin thought for a moment before remembering that they still had a caravan outside, and they didn't know if they could sell grain at this time next year.

"It's coming soon. I received news that they got more food in exchange than expected. There are still few things that can be exchanged. It's a pity that there is nothing to sell in the Northwest."

"We still have... oil, by the way, tea oil, the tea seeds should be ready to pick.

Thinking of tea oil, Wei Ruojin almost forgot about it, sat up quickly, and drew all the things needed to extract the oil; when the time comes, let someone do it accordingly.

He had played in the oil press room for several years, and he participated in the whole process from frying to pressing out the oil. Later, the oil press room was demolished for a long time, and he still felt a little regretful.

"No matter how many people come, we only charge [-]% oil." Wei Ruojin finished drawing on the cloth, and once again wondered if he should change the way of making paper. He really doesn't know how to make paper, he only knows that paper is bark. It is made of fiber, and I don't know how to do it.

"If no one is willing to come, wouldn't your work be in vain?" Lin Heng looked at the things he drew, and it didn't look complicated.

Wei Ruojin looked up at Lin Heng in surprise, and asked, "Aren't the common people short of oil?"

"lack."

"Then why don't they come?"

Lin Heng thought for a while and explained: "It's not that they don't come, they prefer to work as miners in coal mines, and some people prefer to pick herbs, even if they were not sure before, but I promised to exchange for grain, this is their The reason why you are willing to go. Except for you, no one knows that tea seeds can extract oil, and they will not waste their time here."

"How do you know if you don't try."

After ten days of kung fu, Wei Ruojin had all the things that Wei Ruojin wanted. At this time, the generals of the palace also picked a lot of tea seeds, peeled off the shell, fried them in the squeezing room, crushed them, made them into cakes and began to squeeze them.

When the clear oil poured into the pole, Wei Ruojin heard cheers.The news that tea seeds can be used to extract oil soon spread all over the city, but to his surprise, no one sent tea seeds to extract oil.

Even the number of villagers who often come to deliver medicinal herbs from the medicine hall is much less.When Xin Yi came to talk about it, Wei Ruojin was stunned for a moment, there are a lot of herbs in his season, and he has obviously given them to the children of the palace.

"My lord, there are other people who have started to buy medicinal herbs, and the price is higher than ours."

"Other people? Other families?" Wei Ruojin felt that these families' brains were caught by the door, and they wanted to monopolize?As long as he wants to, there are medicinal herbs that he can use all over the mountains and plains.

Charged for your own use?

He dared to say that in this era when wizards are still used, few people except him really understand, what do they accept?Seeing the poor life of the people, do you want to be a good person?

"Forget it, let them go. There is no need to worry about the medicinal herbs. This oil, when they realize it, no one can stop them from running into this oil mill." Wei Ruojin let Xin Yi go down first, and then stared at the oil. He looked and looked at the remaining points.

He thought that through this oil extraction, he could get some more points. If he knew that he shouldn't have exchanged all the points for corn seeds last time, it would be fine to save some points for iron smelting and forging methods.

These aristocratic families are too annoying.

"Aheng, are you still surrounding the Chen family?"

Lin Heng knew earlier than Xin Yi that the family was looking for trouble with Wei Ruojin, and he planned to deal with it quietly, but Wei Ruojin's first reaction was to come to him.

"The Chen family is still around, what do you want to do?"

"It's okay, why don't you withdraw, let Chen Wei come to the palace again."

The soldiers at the gate of Chen's house retreated as soon as they said they would, and Steward Shang personally sent a message to Chen's house, asking Chen Wei to come over.Old Mrs. Chen sneered, and said: "He submitted the post to prove that he was in a hurry, you just have to show the bearing of a child of your family. Even if he Wei Ruojin is from the Wei family, it doesn't matter, he can only live in the backyard!"

But Chen Wei always felt that it was not that simple. Wei Ruojin looked like a modest gentleman, but he was hard to guard against when he played tricks.He couldn't tell Mr. Chen this, otherwise it would be a sign of his incompetence.

The Chen family had suffered a great loss last time, and they didn't have the face to say such things.

Early in the morning, Chen Wei was dressed decently. After entering the courtyard, he thought about leaving the decorative sword on his body in the concierge's hand.After entering the flower hall, she sat down to drink water in an orderly manner, and Wei Ruojin came out after a while.

After the two met, Chen Wei thought that Wei Ruojin would attack him, but he didn't expect that he didn't say anything and only talked about poetry and love, which made Chen Wei a little confused.

"That's all?" After returning to Chen's house, Chen Wei sat down at the bottom, and Mrs. Chen was a little confused after hearing this.

"Yes, he also asked his grandson to go to the house tomorrow."

Old Mrs. Chen pondered for a moment, then said: "In that case, you can go."

For three days in a row, Wei Ruojin asked Chen Wei to come to the Northwest Palace, and Lin Heng's face was so dark that he could drip out of it.
