Forced to farm for the princess

"Master, I heard from the generals that you have grown high-yield grains, are they the ones we ate at night?" Tomer asked straight to the point.

"Is it delicious?" Wei Ruojin asked, the porridge he ate at night was served with sweet potatoes; unfortunately, it would be even more refreshing if served with some pickles, as he still misses pickles a lot.

Just as Tang Mo was about to nod, he saw Xin Yi come in, "Master, Mr. Mo, General Di is here and is waiting in the front hall."

Wei Ruojin thought, the sweet potatoes delivered in the afternoon must have been caught by General Di.

"I'm going right now, where's the prince?"

"The lord is in the study, but the housekeeper sent someone to go." Xin Yi said.

When he arrived at the front hall, Di Rong hadn't taken off his armor yet, it seemed that he came in a hurry.Just as Wei Ruojin was about to salute, he stopped him, "We're all a family, so don't be too polite, just sit down."

Wei Ruojin was a little amused, "Grandpa wants to ask about the food that was sent?"

"Why don't you say you're smart? How much food do you have?" Di Rong asked directly without being polite to him.

"Not much. I just started trying to plant, and I can plant another crop. I guess it will take another two or three years, and there should be no shortage of food in your army." Wei Ruojin reckoned, after two or three years, in the future, the people on the northwest side Taxes are probably like this, and there should be no problem in supplying the army.

"Why are there so few, it will take two or three years?" Di Rong was a little disappointed, the court only gave food once in the spring, and then there was no news, and the next one was sent by Lin Heng.If we have to wait for two or three years, I am afraid that the Northwest Army will starve to death.

"Grandpa, I will find a way to get some more food. Let's support it first. When Ah Jin's food is all planted, I will keep the Northwest Army fed." Lin Heng came out from behind, I got a little late because I had to deal with some things.

"That's what you said. As for the Northwest Army, whoever eats food will naturally be a soldier of that family."

Lin Heng and Wei Ruojin looked at each other, and hurriedly chased Di Rong out, but Di Rong stopped him and said, "No need to send it off."

After Di Rong left, the two returned to the main courtyard, and Wei Ruojin said, "Grandpa, does this mean that the Northwest Army will be at your disposal in the future?"

"It's not that I want to rebel. It's okay if I keep doing this." Lin Heng laughed. He really didn't plan to return to the capital, but he didn't want his life to be in the hands of others, especially since he still had a lifetime with Wei Ruojin. thought.

A few days later, Wei Ruojin heard a report from Steward Shang that all the vacant fields on Linheng Zhuangzi had been planted, but some farmers nearby asked the people in the Zhuangzi about something, so they came to ask for it, and he also told them in detail How to plant it all over the place.

"There should be quite a few people in Zhuangzi who know how to plant. You pick two more people to send to..." Wei Ruojin remembered that he didn't know the name of the town where he bought the wasteland.

"Young Master is talking about the place you bought before?" Shang Butler said, "It is Pinghe Town. Don't worry, Young Master, I will send someone to Pinghe Town."

Steward Shang came in again after going down, "My lord, Governor Yin is here, he seems to be in a hurry."

"Why doesn't he go to the prince?"

"My lord didn't go to the governor's mansion, and the prefect Yin came to the mansion."

Although he is a concubine, more political matters can only be handled through Lin Heng. His power is not great, so why does the prefect Yin have to find him?

"I have met the young master, and I will not hide it. I have something to ask." Prefect Yin knelt down in front of Wei Ruojin.

Wei Ruojin hurriedly helped him up, "Prefect Yin, please speak up if you have something to do. Although I don't usually take care of things, I can still make decisions."

"Thank you, my lord. Speaking of which, I had to send the food to the lord's mansion a few days ago, and I only had time to eat it yesterday. That's when I heard the young man say that this is a new kind of grain bestowed by you. .”

Speaking of this, Wei Ruojin also understood what Yin Taishou came for, and said: "Yin Taishou also came for a good seed."

"Yes, I hope the young master will complete it."

"Prefect Yin, have you thought about where to plant it, and who are the people willing to plant it?" Wei Ruojin had thought about this problem before. In this era of food shortage, people like this kind of food that was suddenly taken out before seeing the actual harvest I'm afraid it's hard to accept.

"Wujing Village can grow, and the officials in other places can't guarantee it, but Wujing Village will definitely be able to grow it. As long as Wujing Village can grow it, other places will definitely be able to grow it next year."

"It seems that the rumors are true. Prefect Yin really has a deep affection for Wujing Village."

Prefect Yin didn't know how to answer it, and he didn't know whether Wei Ruojin was happy or unhappy with what Wei Ruojin said, so he could only smile.

"Prefect Yin is a grateful person. Steward Shang is responsible for the fine seeds. You can go directly to Steward Wei. He will send someone to teach the people in Wujing Village how to plant."

"Thank you, son." Prefect Yin heaved a sigh of relief, as long as Wei Ruojin's words had no other meaning.

Butler Shang sent off Prefect Yin, and Wei Ruojin came back to his senses. Tang Mo came to him suddenly a few days ago, probably because of the good seed, but Old General Di came that night and interrupted what he wanted to say. Instruct Shang Guanjia: "Ask Mr. Mo how many seedlings he needs, and send them to him."

The news of new crops in the Northwest Palace flew like wings, and almost the entire Northwest knew about it, but few people dared to ask for it. Yin Hai dared to come directly because he showed his loyalty to Lin Heng.

He obtained good seeds, and naturally many people asked him about it, and they kept asking about those things, but there were really few who dared to reach out to take the sweet potato seedlings in his hand, and most of them were still waiting and watching.

The men of the Chen family were all sitting together, with deep expressions, except for Chen Wei; because of his kneeling at the gate of the Northwest Palace, there was a slight disharmony between him and the entire Chen family.

"Choose two people and send them to the Northwest Palace." After not seeing each other for a while, Old Master Chen's eyes became even cloudier.

"Ordinary people are probably not worthy, not to mention that there is no woman in the Northwest Palace, so let's send it to the direct line." Another elder said after a moment of pondering.

"No!" The ease on Chen Wei's face disappeared, replaced by annoyance, "When will the Chen family need to sell their daughters for glory? My sisters exchange for glory!"

"The elders say that they have enjoyed the wealth and honor of the Chen family for so many years, so they have to contribute to the Chen family!" Mrs. Chen did not expect that this grandson would start to become lawless.

Chen Wei closed his eyes fiercely, and opened them again, "My brothers and I are free to earn the glory of the Chen family, and it's not my turn to the sisters. Even if you want to give it away, you have to see if they take it or not!"

"Presumptuous! Don't you think that you have some extraordinary ability to win the fine salt from the Northwest Prince's Mansion? If it weren't for the Chen family, you would have nothing!" Mrs. Chen didn't expect that this grandson would dare to treat him as a man with him. do it right.

Chen Wei said: "Yes, without the Chen family, I wouldn't be able to get this [-]% fine salt. Do you know that this [-]% fine salt was sold out before I left the northwest."

"Hmph, a catty of fine salt is only two hundred renminbi, so it will naturally be snapped up." Elder Chen Wei became even more angry, "The fine salt was photographed by our Chen family, so naturally our Chen family should set the price. The surname Wei, throughout the ages, there has never been such cheap salt, let alone fine salt."

"If the Chen family insists on this, Chen Wei will have no choice but to be an uneducated descendant!" Chen Wei stood up abruptly, flung his sleeves and left the yard.

Chen Hang also stood up, "I often read books, and the book doesn't teach us to do this kind of thing." After speaking, he saluted the elders and followed him out.

Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that he couldn't breathe well, he swayed, pointed at the door and cursed: "Unfilial sons and grandchildren, unfilial sons and grandchildren!"

At the same time, people from other families also heard the news of the good breed, but they didn't take it seriously, and they were more sorry for the fine salt.

"The salt field is in Wang's territory."

Wei Ruojin was slightly surprised when she heard Chen Wei and Chen Hang's visit, but she didn't expect them to come again. Could it be that they are looking for a good breed?

But what happened these days, he really doesn't like the Chen family, if he wants to admit his mistakes, he should admit his mistakes in a proper manner, who is he trying to force by acting like that?

"Let them wait, I'm not free today."

Wei Ruojin is busy writing down what Tang Mo needs to read now. He is so smart, he probably will be able to learn how to diagnose pulse in less than three months.

After finishing the small half volume, Xin Yi came again, "My lord, Steward Shang said that the craftsman you were looking for has been found, but there are not many, and he will be able to come to our mansion tomorrow."

"Well, I see."

Xin Yi didn't go out immediately after hearing this, seeing that Wei Ruojin was still writing, he hesitated whether to say it or not.

"I reprimanded you and beat you." Wei Ruojin could only stop writing and look at Xin Yi.

Xin Yi shook his head, but still couldn't hold back and said: "Master, just now the two sons of the Chen family stayed in front of the palace and refused to leave. When the servant girl came back, she happened to meet them."

"Look at your hesitation, but what did you say?"

"Yes, the two sons said that the Chen family is going to send someone to the palace, maidservant..." Xin Yi's face flushed slightly, she was an unmarried young girl, she was really embarrassed to say this, let alone...

"Give it away?" Wei Ruojin looked at Xin Yi's appearance and smiled, "If you can't send it, the lord and I have already communicated with each other. This northwest is the northwest of me and him, and no one can get involved."

"Yes, the servant girl knows." Xin Yi then backed out and patted his face to wake himself up.

Wei Ruojin picked up the pen again, but this time he couldn't continue writing. Now that Lin Heng is with him, it's a fresh time. I think so, does Lin Heng also think so?

The Chen family dared to think like this today, and the Northwest will get better and better in the future. I'm afraid there will be many aristocratic families who want to think like this, let alone those who are willing to recommend themselves as pillow mats.

Wei Ruojin sighed, bit his lips, he knew that he should trust Lin Heng, but he couldn't convince himself; he can bear without offspring, can Lin Heng do it?

He thought about being generous and allowing Lin Heng to have a child; but when he thought that Lin Heng would have a child with another woman, he had an urge to kill and destroy everything.

A drop of ink fell on the bamboo slips, Wei Ruojin hurriedly put down the pen, took out a carving knife and scraped off the ink ball.Forget it, it's useless to think too much, he has always been able to think about it, if Lin Heng really did something to offend him, it would be a big deal to get together and leave.

"Ajin, I'm back." Lin Heng's voice came before Lin Heng arrived.

Wei Ruojin said "um", but didn't get up, and Lin Heng didn't care. He took off his outer clothes and sat beside him with only his inner clothes on.
