The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Perhaps it was because Xie Changshi had taken on the important task, or perhaps because the carriage was too comfortable, Chen Dianyi felt particularly relaxed after getting on the carriage. He felt drowsy after just two steps in the carriage.

Hearing His Highness talk about Shilang Su, Chen Dianyi reacted for a while before remembering who that person was. She couldn't help but smile and said: "Shilang Su is an agricultural official. I heard that among the people of Xinliang there were old farmers who were good at farming, so they went to the fields. Who would have thought that after seeing sweet potatoes and potatoes, I would almost sleep in the ground."

Gu Yuzhi exclaimed: "If Mr. Su discovers sweet potatoes and potatoes, he will definitely tell the emperor! There will be no surprises then!"

He pouted and hummed slightly.

If I had known earlier, I would have left Su Shilang in Changzhou. After he had eaten well and had a good rest, he could have gone back directly from Changzhou.

Chen Dianyi didn't reply because he was already asleep.

Gu Yuzhi stepped forward and took a look, and touched his ears specifically. When he saw that there were no rabbit ears, he patted his chest gently and said, "I was scared to death. I thought Chen Dianyi would really turn into a rabbit."

After entering Xinliang, Shu Xiaohan was extremely excited. She watched all the changes in Xinliang without blinking. The corn on both sides of the official road had been harvested, and the corn stalks were all piled neatly in the fields, waiting for After harvesting all the crops, haul them away.

Just because the crops are harvested doesn’t mean that the year’s farm work is done. For example, corn still needs to be dried and peeled. In this era where there is no plan for mechanization, peeling corn is purely manual. If you want to finish it in less than two months, Harvesting and processing all the crops is a bit overwhelming.

However, Shu Xiaohan's worries disappeared after Emperor Sang Chao sent thousands of people. Thousands of laborers, even if there were some workers, ordinary farmers still accounted for the majority.

Her good mood lasted for several days, and she felt that she could ignore even Wen Xiuzhu's occasional unpleasant words.

When Gu Yuzhi said this again, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Little prince, eating rabbit meat will not turn people into rabbits. Chen Dianyi's eyes are red because he has been wandering around for the past two days and has not taken good care of himself. Just resting.”

"You see he fell asleep shortly after getting on the carriage. He must be exhausted from the past two days."

Gu Yuzhi looked at Chen Dianyi again and saw bruises under his eyes, as if he had been beaten.

He slowly sat back with a sullen face, supported his chin with both hands, and sighed after a while: "Last time, I thought about Chen Dianyi's hard work, and I wanted to give him half a year's more monthly silver during the Chinese New Year. Now that I think about it, it seems a little bit... not enough."

How about increasing Chen Dianyi's monthly income a little bit every month?
He thought and his eyes fell on Chen Dianyi again: "President Qin even found a few more medicine boys last time, but they were still very busy. Otherwise, Judge Qin should have come with him and asked him to give Chen Dianyi have a look."

Compared with last time, Chen Dianyi seems to have lost a little weight, and the bones can be seen in her cheeks.

Aunt Xu is not here either, and Chen Dianyi's meal is not very good either.

The more Gu Yuzhi thought about it, the more he felt pity for Chen Dianyi, but now Xinliang's land reclamation still depends on Chen Dianyi: "Let's stay in Xinliang for two more days this time."

With Xie Changshi here, Chen Dianyi can still have a good rest.

As the carriage moved forward, Gu Yuzhi discovered that although the original Yangchang Trail had not yet been built into an official road, due to more people walking during this period, the road was much wider and smoother, and at least the carriage was not particularly bumpy when riding.

Wen Xiuzhu suddenly said: "Your Highness, I think that since sweet potatoes and potatoes have matured, and Su Shilang is particularly interested in these two crops, your Highness why not let Su Shilang wait in Xinliang for these two crops?" After everything is harvested, let Su Shilang take it back to the capital."

Can you still watch something like this?

Gu Yuzhi's little eyebrows wrinkled: "But there are rules for Mr. Su to go out, right? If he doesn't go back for too long, will the emperor punish him?" Mr. Su is a good person, and he doesn't want Mr. Su to be punished. .

"With His Highness's sweet potatoes and potatoes as an apology, the Emperor will not punish Mr. Su."

When Wen Xiuzhu was an imperial businessman, he often interacted with people from the royal family, and he boasted that he could guess a little bit about the thoughts of the royal family.

This time the emperor sent Minister Su over, probably with some intention of helping His Highness.

Otherwise, why would the important task of escorting disaster relief money and food fall on Su Shilang, an extremely pure agricultural official.

That's right, Wen Xiuzhu knew the character of Su Shilang after hearing that he almost fell asleep on the floor as soon as he came here.

An extremely simple agricultural official who is obsessed with farming.

Gu Yuzhi tilted his head and thought for a while: "You are right. However, we can't decide this matter until we meet Mr. Su."

From the very beginning when Aunt Xu rejected Chef Danfan, Gu Yuzhi understood that even if he was a prince, he had to consider others and not force others to do anything, otherwise no one would be willing to treat him sincerely.

The carriage kept moving forward, and when it reached the sweet potato field, it was almost dusk. The driver stopped the carriage, and Chen Dianyi fell down with a thud, which startled Gu Yuzhi. Unexpectedly, Chen Dianyi frowned, turned over, and fell asleep again. past.

Gu Yuzhi patted his chest and jumped out of the carriage lightly.

He looked beside the road and saw that there were still many people working in the sweet potato fields. The sweet potatoes they pulled out were placed on the edge of the fields. Someone cleaned the soil on them and put them in baskets. Then a special person came to collect them. , put it on the wheelbarrow lined up aside, and then send it to the cellar for storage.

Gu Yuzhi watched with interest for a while, and then Su Shilang was called over. As soon as he saw Gu Yuzhi, Su Shilang knelt down excitedly, lying on the ground and crying bitterly.

Gu Yuzhi froze on the spot with a confused look on his face. What happened to Mr. Su?

It was Qi Chenglang who reacted first and hurriedly helped Mr. Su up: "What are you doing, Mr. Su?"

As soon as he saw His Highness, he knelt down and was shocked to see His Highness.

Su Shilang wiped his tears: "I am so excited! On behalf of the Emperor and the people of the world, I sincerely thank Your Highness."

As an agricultural official, Su Shilang knows best how big a shock it will cause once sweet potatoes and potatoes are promoted across the country, and how much it will fill the national treasury...

Before Gu Yuzhi could speak, he continued on his own: "I heard that these things are cut into pieces for planting. In this vast field of sweet potatoes, there was only a little sweet potato at the beginning?"

"Furthermore, I heard that potatoes are also cut into pieces and planted. An old farmer said that you came up with the idea. How did Your Highness come up with the idea? Also, how did Your Highness know that potatoes and sweet potatoes are edible?"

Su Shilang looked at Gu Yuzhi with a look of thirsty for knowledge...
