Although Mrs. Liu felt uncomfortable, she still wiped her tears and said to Boss Ning angrily.
"I know Mom is doing it for our own good. You don't need to explain it like this. I know it in my heart."
My man would nag like this because he was afraid that he would think wrong and blame his mother-in-law!
After hearing what Liu said and looking at her face, there was indeed no resentment on her face. Boss Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What his mother did was completely understandable to him.
Therefore, he did not want Ms. Liu to have other thoughts about her mother.
Seeing that things at home were almost settled, Ning Laosan called Wang Deyin to take Liu Hu's place and headed south.
But he took several carts of things and headed directly to the north.
In the north, Pei Yan looked at the sunny weather that finally came out after the beginning of spring. He felt much better while walking on the road.
The crops planted before were beyond everyone's expectations.
As soon as spring started this year, a large number of them were planted again.
I believe that it will not be empty talk until the warehouse is full of food soon.
Of course, with a full stomach, I had to think about money yesterday.
At first, he had restaurants all over the place, but now the remaining ones have greatly reduced the amount of money he can get.
He was a little surprised when he received a message from the Ning family a few years ago.
After all, in Pei Yan's heart, although Mrs. Ning can come up with weird ways to make money, she can run faster than a dog when it comes to dangerous things.
Logically speaking, she would never allow her son to bring such a message to her.
Is it possible that something happened to Mrs. Ning?
Thinking of this, Pei Yan's good mood sank slightly.
"Master, there is news from the capital that high-yielding crops have been discovered there.
It is planned to promote planting in villages around the capital this year.
I just received the seeds of this high-yielding crop, and they look like the sweet potatoes brought by Mrs. Ning."
As soon as Pei Yan returned to his small courtyard from the street, Baizhu came to report.
Upon hearing the news, Pei Yan immediately raised his eyebrows.
If Mrs. Ning contributed this high-yielding crop to the imperial court, according to the emperor's temperament, she would be given a royal title.
After all, this imperial title doesn't cost him any money in the treasury, it's just good-looking.
However, just relying on the emperor's personal edict, he can scare many people when he returns to Mingzhou Prefecture or Anzhen.
Logically speaking, Ning Laosan shouldn't let people bring such a message?
"Master, if the imperial court also gets this high-yielding crop, will it have any impact on us?"
"Did the capital only send sweet potatoes as a crop?"
After Pei Yan sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, just this kind."
But isn’t this one enough?
Bai Zhu secretly cursed that he had received the news a year ago, and the sweet potatoes he planted had a bumper harvest, with a yield of several thousand kilograms per acre.
】
"Bai Zhu, tell me, what is our original intention?"
Pei Yan put down the tea cup in his hand and looked up at Bai Zhu who looked anxious.
"Original intention?
Naturally, it is to enable the people of Li to live a good life.
Eliminate corrupt officials in both the government and the public, and ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people."
Bai Zhu was stunned for a moment, then replied firmly.
"Then, what's wrong with Mrs. Ning's promotion of this high-yielding crop?
If it could be extended to the whole country, how many people would be saved from dying of hunger!
Moreover, didn’t Mrs. Ning offer a high-yielding crop? Now we still have potatoes and corn!
With the imperial court taking the lead in planting, it may only take a few years for this high-yielding sweet potato crop to be spread all over the country.
Let the common people have a full meal.
And we planted them earlier than those in Beijing, and we had more seeds.
By then, everyone won’t have to be hungry to hold a knife stably, how good would it be?”
Hearing his master's words, Bai Zhu looked ashamed.
After all, when he made the report just now, he was really angry at Mrs. Ning for dedicating high-yielding crops to the court.
He felt that at least he had to let his master promote this high-yielding crop after they succeeded.
In this way, the people of the world will definitely be grateful to their master.
"Baizhu, sometimes, too much is not enough.
Think about it, uncle, you should understand."
Pei Yan glanced at Bai Zhu deeply, and then said leisurely.
If something big is accomplished, I will definitely retreat bravely.
In this way, I can leave you with a thought.
If you stand in front of you all the time, I am afraid that over time, you will feel that your achievements are too great.
After hearing this, Bai Zhu suddenly broke out from the sweat on his forehead and back.
"This is what the master taught me."
Moreover, if you think about it, Beijing has just begun to promote the cultivation of this high-yielding crop.
I'm afraid it will take some effort to convince the people in the village below to plant these sweet potatoes.
Whether they can all be planted this year is another question.
But they are different. They had a bumper harvest last year.
Apart from tasting the harvested items, the rest are kept for sowing!
As long as there is another big harvest this year, there will be no need to worry about food rations for at least the next two years.
After Pei Yan finished speaking to Bai Zhu, he raised his hand and pressed his forehead.
"If someone from the Ning family comes this time, remember to send someone back with them.
When the time comes, if anything happens to the Ning family, contact our people and help the Ning family solve the problem."
"Yes, Master."
Bai Zhu answered with cupped fists.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door from the courtyard gate.
"Second uncle, second uncle, are you at home?"
Hearing Pei Yunxia's voice, Pei Yan couldn't help but frown.
"Just tell her I'm not here."
After saying that, without waiting for Bai Zhu to answer, Pei Yan turned around and returned to the room.
After hearing what Bai Zhu said, Pei Yunxia bit her lower lip and handed the basket in her hand to Bai Zhu.
"These are eggs laid by the chickens raised at home. I picked them up specially to replenish my uncle's health."
Bai Zhu looked down and saw that there were only five or six eggs in the basket. The shallow layer did not even cover the bottom of the basket. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
How could he remember that Pei Yi had gone hunting a lot in the mountains and had no shortage of food and drink at home?
Coupled with the fact that the secret guards were guarding the place, Mrs. Shen and the eldest daughter did not suffer any loss at all.
However, this Miss Pei didn't know what was going on.
Ever since I arrived in the north, I have done a lot of petty things.
There were obviously more than a dozen egg-laying hens at home, but Miss Pei picked up the eggs she laid every day, collected them into a basket, and sold them for money.
There was no shortage of meat at home anyway, so Pei Yi didn't say anything at all to her doing this.
Mrs. Shen didn't think there was a problem, and in her opinion, how many copper coins could the eggs be sold for?
This time, I don’t know if there is something wrong with Miss Pei’s brain, but she was willing to take five or six eggs to give to her master?
As the saying goes, if you show courtesy for nothing, you will be either a traitor or a thief!
