Kyoto.

The emperor took the fold in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the bigger the smile on his face became, "This blessing is really my lucky star!" ”

The queen happened to come over to deliver the tonic soup, and when she heard the emperor's praise, she smiled and said: "The concubine has heard a few days ago that the lord of Fuyou County has found grain, and distributed the grain to several disaster-stricken provinces along the way, alleviating the food shortage in each province. ”

The emperor put down the fold and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I didn't forcibly take her into the palace at the beginning, otherwise, I would definitely still be worried about food." ”

Half of the country's provinces have been hit by drought, and grain production has been severely reduced.

However, the population of the Great Zhou Dynasty was so large, and the border passes were not peaceful, so he did not dare to take all the food to relieve the disaster, for fear that the surrounding countries would take advantage of the weakness to enter, and the army would not even have enough to eat on the front line, so what would he have to do to resist foreign enemies.

The food that Lin Ruan found really greatly relieved his pressure.

The queen smiled: "So, if you lose your horse, you will not be blessed." Bless this child, never disappoint. ”

The Emperor was in a good mood and discussed with the Empress, "You say, how can I reward her after this drought is over?" That girl is not very interested in money, and what she does for Da Zhou, if she uses money to send it, it is too insincere. ”

The queen thought for a while and said: "That girl has a noble character and great ambitions, and the concubine thinks that it is better to give her a sufficient identity to make her unrestrained." What she wants to do, let her do it, the concubine has a hunch, as long as the emperor gives her absolute freedom, she will definitely be able to bring more benefits to Da Zhou. ”

The Emperor smiled and nodded, "I think so too, that girl always surprises me from time to time, and every time she gets bigger and bigger. If I don't limit her and let her let go of tossing, what unexpected things will she bring? ”

The queen smiled and said, "Then the emperor and his concubines will wait and see." ”

The emperor had a little more expectation in his eyes, and he already had a plan in his heart.

Lin Ruan didn't know that the two bigwigs in the palace were talking about her at this time, and if she knew, she would definitely be upset. When did she say that she didn't like money anymore? This is a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding! Silver, who would be too much, naturally the more the merrier!

But she didn't have time to think about anything else right now.

After returning to Lingnan Mountain with the golden eagle, Lin Ruan began to work non-stop again.

Before leaving, she deliberately sprinkled seeds to let the rice grow freely, and in more than a month, the rice grew quite well. The more than thirty cows, kept in captivity by her in a valley that no wild beast could break into, were in good condition.

After using her ability to ripen the rice here, Lin Ruan handed over all the work here to Fei Fu and Luohua, and she found another place to redevelop the planting area.

After a month of such a busy month, Lin Ruan harvested nearly twice as much grain as last time.

When she found Wu Yue again, the soldiers that Wu Yue had lent her earlier had just rushed back to the station.

Wu Yue also thought that Lin Ruan had come back with these soldiers, and asked with a smile: "Niece Shi, do you plan to collect some more grain and leave this time?" I received a message from the emperor a few days ago, and the emperor said that no matter how many people you want, as long as you speak, you must fully cooperate. This time, if you let go of your hands and feet to toss, there will definitely be enough manpower. ”

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome." This time I found a lot of food, so I wanted to ask Sebo to borrow some more manpower. ”

Wu Yue was stunned, "You've already found food?" ”

Lin Ruan smiled and nodded: "Well, it's a little more than the last time, about 1.5 million stones." ”

Wu Yue almost choked on his own saliva: "How much do you say?" One and a half million stones? ”

Lin Ruan smiled and nodded, it is indeed so much, with these grains, the life of the people who want to come can be much better.

Wu Yue couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Niece Shi, can I ask you where you got all this food?" The grain production here in Lingnan is not high. ”

Lin Ruan looked surprised: "Really? I was looking for this batch of grain, and it was the same person who sold it to me before. He said that he still had a lot of grain in his hands, and he sold it very cheaply, only one tael of silver and one stone. If I hadn't had enough money, I'd have had to buy more. ”

Wu Yue was shocked: "Is there really such cheap grain?" ”

You must know that because of the drought, the grain has risen to 50 wen a catty. And it's not very old. He had seen Lin Ruan's food last time, but it was all high-quality food.

One or two silver and one stone, if this is sold on the market, I am afraid that it will break people's heads.

Lin Ruan nodded: "Yes, he said that I buy a lot, so I have to be cheap." Shibo, are you going to buy grain? Why don't I pull you a line? ”

Wu Yue shook his head, "The food in the army is all allocated by the imperial court, what should I buy it for?" Didn't you say you would give me 100,000 stones? So I'm not going to break the bank. But since the food is so cheap, the niece will try to buy as much as possible, and if the money is not enough, the uncle will think of a way for you. ”

Lin Ruan said with a smile: "That person said that he would wait for me, don't worry." It's more important for us to get this grain back as soon as possible. ”

Wu Yue nodded again and again: "Cheng, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely help you find enough boats." ”

Because there was so much grain to be transported this time, it was not so easy to find a ship.

Lin Ruan needed to live in Wuyue Mansion for a long time.

This time, she was prepared, and that day in Huaiyang Mansion, she bought a lot of things, some of which were bought for these two concubines. They are all the most fashionable jewelry, clothes and makeup powder in Huaiyang Mansion.

Those two concubines received those things, not to mention how happy they were, they were so enthusiastic about Lin Ruan that even Wu Yue was snubbed by them.

Lingnan is too backward, too far away from Kyoto, and far away from other countries, so there is naturally no fashion information in the poor countryside.

The two concubines wanted to buy something on weekdays, but they had to drag someone from the trading house to bring it from the mainland, which was troublesome and expensive, and the things were not necessarily good.

And these things that Lin Ruan gave were the freshest things at the moment, and the style of the clothes was something they had never seen before, which was simply too rare. And they also wanted to know more about Kyoto, so they soaked in Lin Ruan's all day long, trying their best to please her, which made Lin Ruan uncomfortable.

She really doesn't like to be too close to other people.

Lin Ruan was really entangled by Wu Yue's two concubines, so he simply took advantage of the time to go around and collect some things that Huaiyang Mansion did not have.

For example, all kinds of tropical fruit trees, some crops from other countries.

What's more, the baby in the sea.
