"And it doesn't hurt to say it."

Fu Ru'an raised his hand slightly and signaled softly.

"Young Master Fu should know that sugarcane is the most important raw material when making sugar, and although Qingcheng is rich now, the yield of sugarcane is very low.

In the middle of a few words, Xie Yunshu said what he thought in his heart.

Ye Zhen nodded, as if agreeing with Xie Yunshu's point of view.

"Young Master Fu, if it weren't for special circumstances, we wouldn't have come to ask you like this."

Ye Zhen had some complicated emotions in his voice, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Fu Ru'an saw the caution in Ye Zhen's tone, and was a little surprised, they didn't know the reason.

"Do you know why?"

Ye Zhen frowned slightly and looked at Xie Yunshu in front of him.

Xie Yunshu also looked sideways, as if he was waiting for something.

"Young Master Fu, do you know the reason for the low yield of sugarcane?"

Fu Ru'an's expression was indifferent, he just fiddled with the tea leaves in his hand, and then threw some into the cup, his voice was faint.

"I wonder if you two remember the locust plague before?"

Ye Zhen nodded, she naturally remembered this matter.

If it weren't for her early advice, I'm afraid that with the serious locust plague in the barbarian county, the ammunition would have been exhausted.

"Qingcheng is not so lucky, and without your advice and advice, Mrs. Xie, most of the insect plagues have not been avoided, so naturally the impact is great."

Fu Ruan handed the tea in his hand to Xie Yunshu with a calm expression.

Xie Yunshu took it and put it aside, always feeling a little strange in his heart.

Fu Ru'an's attitude was a little obscure, but he just explained the reason clearly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to solve the problem.

"Could it be that Qingcheng was deeply affected by that locust plague, so it has not been well solved until now?"

Ye Zhen frowned, a pair of beautiful eyes just looked at Fu Ru'an fixedly, and a little emotion flashed in his heart.

It's a pity.

In the past few days, she has been walking around Qingcheng with Xie Yunshu, naturally she is very clear about the terrain and understands the geomorphological environment here.

It is extremely suitable for growing crops and grain, and the locust plague has not been long in coming, and I am afraid that it will have a great impact on those farmers who rely on the harvest from the sky.

"Naturally not, these days, I think the two of you have also learned something about this place, there are not many people with surplus food, and everyone is probably busy planting food, I am afraid that it will not be able to grow sugarcane for a while."

Speaking of this, Fu Ru'an's tone was also a little pity and helplessness.

"Now that we know why, it's time for us to get rid of it."

Ye Zhen said, and drank the tea in front of her in one gulp, it was a little cold, but it made her very sober, she pouted her face, but it was cute.

"Young Master Fu, I'll tell you the truth, my father-in-law and I have actually thought of some solutions, but we have been suffering from a lack of manpower."

After that, Ye Zhen looked sideways at Xie Yunshu, and under the four eyes, some established emotions communicated with each other.

"Oh? Why don't you talk about it carefully, Mrs. Xie?"

Fu Ru'an looked at Ye Zhen with a little curiosity and expectation in his expression.

"Now we have run all over the villages around Qingcheng, and we know that we will not be able to get the sugar cane we want for a while. So we wondered if we could get sugar cane from the surrounding counties."

Ye Zhen paused, and thought flashed on Ruxue's face.

"It's just that these tasks are really labor-intensive and time-consuming."

Ye Zhen sighed after speaking, as if he recalled the situation he had seen a few days ago.

Xie Yunshu silently stretched out his hand and grabbed Ye Zhen's hand, his movements were gentle, and the warmth of his fingertips entered Ye Zhen's palm.

"It's not difficult!"

Fu Ru'an hurriedly spoke, but he was a little excited.

"The area around Qingcheng is Lingnan."

As soon as Fu Ru'an's words fell, his eyes were quiet

Naturally, it fell on Xie Yunshu, who was not far away.

He paused subconsciously, then lifted the lid of the tea and took a sip gently.

"Now the Fu family's industry is also a little profitable. Especially in Mochizuki Tower, the semicolon has already spread all over the counties in Lingnan. It's not a big problem to just find sugar cane for the two of you, and you don't need to work hard for the manpower problem."

After hearing this, Ye Zhen couldn't help but feel relieved, she relaxed her emotions, and looked at Xie Yunshu in front of her briskly.

Xie Yunshu also smiled, but he was very moved by Ye Zhen's playful appearance.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch Ye Zhen's tiger's mouth, and his movements were ambiguous.

Fu Ru'an's eyes fell on the two of them without a trace, and after seeing their movements, he couldn't help but chuckle.

His fingertips tapped the table slightly, and his voice changed.

"I wonder if the two of you are concerned about the affairs of the capital now?"

When Xie Yunshu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still looked at Fu Ru'an like a spring breeze and spoke lightly.

"Young Master Fu doesn't know, now that the two of us are in Qingcheng, we don't know much about most of the things in the capital, not to mention that we have only only come here from the barbarian county town where the news is closed."

Xie Yunshu's voice was slightly deep, and his eyes looked at Fu Ru'an in front of him with extremely deep eyes.

He was so smart, how could he not know Fu Ru'an's temptation.

"That's a shame."

Fu Ru'an's lips hooked slightly, and his voice opened very softly.

"Now the old emperor in the capital is becoming more and more mediocre, and he actually did an extremely ridiculous thing a few days ago, this court, I'm afraid it's going to change......

Fu Ru'an's eyes fell on Xie Yunshu as if nothing, but it did not exceed his expectations, even though Xie Yunshu was extremely deep, he also saw the deep meaning between his eyes.

Ye Zhen also noticed Xie Yunshu's changes, subconsciously reached out and patted him, and spoke softly.

"Young Master Fu doesn't know anything, we don't know much about the things in the court, and now in this Qingcheng, we just want to do a good job in the sugar workshop."

Fu Ru'an heard Ye Zhen say this, but nodded with a light smile.

"This is excellent, the court is treacherous, it is not easy to participate, if you participate, I am afraid it will not be good."

"Naturally, this is the case, our husband and wife are naturally not as good as Young Master Fu, and now we are just looking forward to living a stable life."

Ye Zhen said, and gently pinched Xie Yunshu's hand.

"In that case, then I'll tell you about Zhao Yi again."

Fu Ruan didn't want to say anything more, so he spoke.

"Zhao Yi?"

Ye Zhen frowned slightly, a little inexplicable.

"I told you before that Zhao Yi is the son that King Lingnan cares about the most, I don't know if you remember this matter?"

Fu Ru'an raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, and a little indifference flashed between his eyes.

"Of course I remember."

Ye Zhen nodded and spoke slowly.

"The King of Lingnan is now looking for the son of the world, and I am afraid it will not take a few days to find him."

Hearing Fu Ru'an say this, Ye Zhen also had a plan in his heart.

"What does Young Master Fu mean?"

Even if Fu Ru'an didn't say it, Ye Zhen knew what he meant.

"Mrs. Xie is a smart person, and it is much easier to deal with smart people."

Without waiting for Fu Ru'an to say anything, Ye Zhen pulled Xie Yunshu and left first.

Fu Ru'an looked at the back of the two leaving, his lips hooked slightly, and he knew it in his heart.

After returning to the inn, Ye Zhenxian was not in a hurry to be busy with the sugar workshop.

She asked Lin Bin to call Zhao Yi to the kitchen.

In the past few days, Zhao Yi's loss of appetite has almost been cured, and he is always clamoring to eat sugar.

And because she's been busy with sugar cane lately, she doesn't even care about getting him.

Hearing what Fu Ru'an said today, she really planned to go to Pingzhou County in a few days and send Zhao Yi back.

Seeing Ye Zhen who was making sugar, Xie Yunshu's heart was clear, he stepped forward to take the work from Ye Zhen's hand, and said softly.

"You're going to make candy for Yi?"

Ye Zhen nodded, then took the tools on the side and sharpened them with his hands.

It's a piece of crushed sugar, and Zhao Yi likes to eat this one the most.

"When he returns to Pingzhou in the future, I don't know if he can eat this candy."

Ye Zhen, who was thinking like this, felt a little sad inexplicably, and she subconsciously wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"In a few days, can you accompany me to Pingzhou?"

Ye Zhen looked sideways and looked at Xie Yunshu, who was silent.

Xie Yunshu didn't say anything, and he was inexplicably indifferent in his heart.

He noticed Ye Zhen's gaze and nodded.

In fact, Xie Yunshu had other thoughts in his heart, but now that Ye Zhen was in a low mood, it was inconvenient for him to say anything.

It didn't take long for the crushed sugar slices to be ready.

Zhao Yi had already smelled the incense and walked over, and he was very happy to come to Ye Zhen.

"Auntie, why did you cook me such a delicious thing today?"

Ye Zhen smiled and reached out to hook his nose.

"Of course, it's to reward you for being so well-behaved these days, Lin Bin told me, you stay in the inn every day, you don't run around, you are so well-behaved, of course my aunt wants to reward you."

After hearing Ye Zhen say this, Zhao Yi's face turned red, he nodded and hurriedly spoke.

"In that case, then my aunt is going to make me something more delicious."

Zhao Yi tiptoed, looking at the stove, inexplicably a little like a puppy.

"Tell your aunt what else you want to eat, and she will cook it for you these days."

After hearing Ye Zhen say this, Zhao Yi was very happy, and he stretched out his hand to calculate.

"I want to eat my aunt's sweet and sour fish, braised pork ribs, spicy chicken, and sugar paintings, I haven't eaten them for a long time, when I was in Manyi County, my aunt used to make sugar paintings for me to eat, but now I haven't seen them for a long time, I want to eat them very much."

Zhao Yi licked the corners of his mouth as he spoke, it was very cute.

Ye Zhen couldn't help but smile.

"You little glutton."

Zhao Yi just shook his head and said happily.

"My aunt said I was a glutton, so I'm a glutton."

Ye Zhen looked at Zhao Yi, and thought of what Fu Ru'an said, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

After noticing Ye Zhen's mood change, Xie Yunshu stepped forward and hugged her, and said softly,

"Let's wait a few days and tell Xiao Yi the news."

Ye Zhen knew what Xie Yunshu meant, and he didn't say anything, so he nodded.

The days passed calmly for a few days, and soon Fu Ruan found sugarcane raw materials.

The matter of the sugar factory is also on the agenda.

In the past few days, Ye Zhen has obviously felt busy.

She was somewhat overwhelmed, and she didn't have enough people.

Ye Zhen thought about it, and planned to tell Fu Heng about it.

"Mrs. Xie, do you mean you need to find some people?"

Ye Zhen nodded, then thought of something, and continued to speak.

"Since you're looking for people, you can't be looking for people you don't know. Nowadays, there are a lot of things going on in the sugar factory, and if you find some strangers, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

Ye Zhen thought about it carefully, and after hearing Ye Zhen say this, Fu Heng hurriedly spoke.

"Madame is very right, and since that is the case, then I know what to do."

Fu Heng nodded and said, he already knew how to solve it in his heart.

He also hurriedly stepped forward and continued.

"Please rest assured Madame about this matter, wrap it up on me, and in a few days, I will find the manpower you need for Madame."

Fu Heng is doing things safely, Ye Zhen knows this, and he is a lot more relieved now.
