20demayo Chapter 560: Lord Cao is extremely worried!
Chapter 560: Lord Cao is extremely worried!
The people of Anzhou went out in full force, and those who had farm tools went to the West Mountain early with hoes on their backs.
Those who did not have farm tools and those who were running small businesses now bought farm tools.
All the farm tools in Anzhou, and even in the area near Anzhou City, were out of stock.
This was a massive action to reclaim the Western Hills.
You can get 20 potato seeds for free, and get money for reclaiming an extra acre of land. It's simply pie in the sky.
Isn’t the first thing people ask when they meet each other: “Have you eaten?”
Instead, ask:
Have you been to Xishan today?
How are the potatoes growing?
……
The Green Forest Army was dispatched to maintain order. General Wei was a little unsure. Could there really be so many potato seeds?
It’s not that he doesn’t believe Fu Jichang, he just doesn’t believe Fu Jichang.
Potato seeds can fall from the sky.
He was afraid that Fu Jichang would make a mistake and be caught by court officials and impeached.
Their mouths can bring the dead back to life and blow the living to death.
He suffered greatly and was really worried about Fu Jichang.
Lord Cao has already lived in the West Mountain and can’t sleep every night!
It all seems so unreal.
Don’t you know how many potato seeds you have planted?
But Ji Xiaobei insisted that there would be enough potato seeds in two days.
Lord Cao’s eye circles are darker than a panda’s.
I propped myself up every day, looking at the people all over the West Mountain waving hoes, pickaxes and shovels in a daze.
He quietly took a carriage to the government office to find Fu Jichang.
Fu Jichang had just received a group of people from surrounding prefectures.
They all came to ask for potato seeds.
Fu Jichang refused, saying that they would definitely have theirs when the crops were cultivated next spring.
They refused to agree and kept on asking for permission, refusing to leave.
Fu Jichang had no choice but to move the young prince Li Yunjiong out.
Yes, this is the order of the little prince, if they really want it, they can go to the little prince.
After hearing this, the visitor could only leave in disappointment.
Prince Yongding, they have never met him before, so how can they ask for it?
When Lord Cao saw Fu Jichang had finished his business, he rushed into his room.
Pulling Fu Jichang's sleeve, he barely opened his swollen peach-like eyes and asked in a hoarse voice: "You said, Miss Ji, Miss Ji can really get so many potato seeds... But I clearly saw her playing with the children in Mrs. Huang's yard, she didn't behave properly at all..."
Fu Jichang supported the old man and pressed him into a chair.
I licked my dry lips and thought to myself: I am as anxious as you!
But he is Fu Tongpan, how can he say that?
No!
Fu Jichang comforted him: "Don't worry, I know a little about Xiaobei's abilities. She will definitely be able to do what she said, so don't worry!"
Lord Cao is extremely worried!
His legs were swollen, and the soup that Mrs. Huang prepared to reduce the swelling was of no use.
He went to Huang Po again and captured Ji Xiaobei alive.
Ji Xiaobei slowly spit out the potato skins in his mouth and said, "Master Cao, look at these potatoes, they are delicious. Grandma Huang just steamed them. Go and have two!"
Lord Cao stomped his feet, snatched the potato from Ji Xiaobei's hand, and stuffed it into his own mouth.
Lord Cao rolled his eyes in choking.
Huang Po massaged him for a quarter of an hour before he recovered.
"Oh, old man Cao, if Xiaobei says she can do it, then she can definitely do it. I've been with her for so many years, I still understand her..."
Huang Po was nervous and worried about Ji Xiaobei.
But he still managed to remain calm and persuade Lord Cao earnestly.
Ji Xiaobei consoled her again, "If I can't do it, I'll tear my head off and let you kick it like a ball!"
Lord Cao was in tears: We had caused such a big fuss, and now it was all gone.
Not only your head is treated as a ball, but many people's heads are kicked like balls.
Ji Xiaobei felt that if he didn't give Lord Cao an explanation, he would not be able to go tonight.
She sat beside Lord Cao and persuaded him with both emotion and reason: "Lord Cao, don't worry, you really can rest assured. On that day, auspicious signs will fall from the sky, and piles of potato seeds will appear on your breeding base..."
"It's witchcraft..."
Lord Cao was skeptical.
He saw with his own eyes Ji Xiaobei appear on the West Hill carrying the young prince on his back and dragging two unconscious men in black.
Could it be that this woman really has some abilities?
Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to make such a boast in front of the young prince.
A ray of sunlight shone on Ji Xiaobei, her whole body was shining with golden light, and her mouth opened and closed as if she was chanting a spell.
Lord Cao didn't sleep for two days and two nights.
A little mentally confused.
Ji Xiaobei asked Huang Po to give him some sedative herbs, and then Mr. Cao was put on the bed and fell asleep.
Fu Jichang went for a walk around Xishan.
The people's enthusiasm for reclaiming the Western Hills reached an unprecedented high.
After entering the command post halfway up the mountain and opening the door curtain, he found the young prince Li Yunjiong sitting inside.
After Fu Jichang bowed, he stood aside.
"Can we open up 1000 acres in three days?" Li Yunjiong asked.
"Based on the progress of the first day, it should be possible!" Fu Jichang said truthfully.
The next day, people from the neighboring prefecture heard about it and came over with their farm tools.
There are twice as many people as yesterday.
"Just distribute the money as it should be. The emperor will bless his people and the country will be peaceful and prosperous!"
Li Yunjiong said seriously.
People from the government office had already brought in two large baskets of copper coins.
"Why don't I see Miss Ji?" Li Yunjiong looked around and asked.
"Maybe she didn't come?" Fu Jichang said vaguely.
What he couldn't stand the most was the way the young prince looked at Ji Xiaobei.
He also couldn't stand the way Ji Xiaobei looked at the young prince.
He felt sad.
Very uncomfortable.
Li Yunjiong got up and left, heading straight for Mingyi Lane.
He heard from a bunch of kids in Huang Po's courtyard that Ji Xiaobei lived in Mingyi Lane.
He wanted to see where this informal, manly woman lived.
He rode his horse leisurely, asking questions as he went.
When he reached the entrance of Mingyi Lane, he looked around and felt that the place was familiar, as if he had been here before when he was a child.
When he was a child, he came to Anzhou with his father and lived there for a while.
He entered from the north alley and came out from the west alley.
After walking around, I remembered it.
This is the ancestral home of Grand Secretary Fu Yannian. He had been here with the Grand Secretary.
In other words, this is Fu Jichang's home.
Miss Ji lives in Fu Jichang's house.
Oh, that's right, Fu Jichang said that Ji Xiaobei is his distant relative, so it's not surprising that he lives in Fu Jichang's ancestral home.
He tied the horse at the entrance of the alley and strolled back from the west alley.
Three little children rushed out of a yard, stopped, and stared at Li Yunjiong curiously.
Li Yunjiong asked, "Does Ji Xiaobei live here?"
Zheng Zheng nodded and asked, "What do you want to do with my mother?"
Guoguo pulled him behind her; "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Li Yunjiong looked at the three little kids in astonishment.
Miss Ji, Miss Ji actually has three children.
Why do we still call her Miss Ji?
Is that what everyone calls her?
Maybe this child is not hers?
