Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 106 New Features and Trouble

The fifth princess is still too young, so even if she wants to make this happen, it’s not the right time to do it now.

Liu Youyou is thinking about the new functions of the system. Jiang Chen has not yet reached the three-year adjustment period in the Hanlin Academy, so he can't make any big moves. So what is the most suitable?

Liu Youyou thought of the essential plug-in for the time-traveling heroine - high-yield crops.

Looking back at history, high-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes were basically introduced to the public in the late Ming Dynasty and were not widely promoted until the Qianlong period.

Therefore, Qianlong was really lucky. His father had worked hard to win the throne, and he inherited it without any effort. He also inherited a full treasury to support his extravagant consumption for more than 60 years. He also happened to encounter high-yield crops, so he didn't have to worry about his reputation.

When it comes to being an emperor, it vividly illustrates what it means to have different destinies for the same person.

Having said that, ignore the four eggs that still have no shadow.

If Jiang Chen could accomplish the task of producing high-yield crops, it would indeed be a real achievement.

Liu Youyou tentatively entered "discover corn and sweet potatoes" in the list of side quests. After entering, five hundred taels of silver were displayed behind it.

Liu Youyou frowned. How could this be accomplished with just 500 taels?

So, Liu Youyou tried to input again, "Discover the secret of high yield of corn and sweet potato", and the silver tael number behind it changed to five thousand taels.

Liu Youyou was relieved. That was right! But this shouldn't be the limit.

Liu Youyou entered more detailed instructions, "Discover and promote high-yield corn and sweet potatoes", and the silver behind it became 100,000 taels.

The amount of silver required scared Liu Youyou. It was indeed easy to discover but difficult to promote. How to make people trust a new crop was indeed a difficult problem.

However, this was the silver that Jiang Chen needed to complete this task personally. Once Jiang Chen discovered high-yield crops and confirmed their stability as food, he could report them to the emperor. With the support of the court, promotion would be much easier.

Moreover, how could Jiang Chen monopolize such a long-lasting and famous deed? If he didn't share the soup with others, it wouldn't be spread even after two hundred years. So, just do it right.

Liu Youyou thought for a moment and carefully entered, "Discover and study the secret of high yield of corn and sweet potatoes", which would cost 20,000 taels.

Liu Youyou is no longer the poor person who can only help Jiang Chen because of the system achievement. After getting married, Liu Youyou first reorganized her shop. Although she could not make a fortune every day, she also saved a large sum of money. 20,000 taels of silver, sprinkle some water! Make the voice of a rich woman.jpg.

Liu Youyou paid the twenty thousand taels without blinking an eye, and then just waited for progress from Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was concentrating on reading the ancient books. There were many vague parts in the books he was responsible for compiling, and more detailed information was needed.

Suddenly a sneeze came, and Jiang Chen only had time to turn his head.

The colleague next to him smiled and said, "Wangxuan, someone is talking about you!"

Jiang Chen stood up, washed his hands and face carefully, wiped them clean with a handkerchief, and replied: "It's just that there is too much dust in the ancient books."

Liu Youyou, who was peeking at the screen, touched her cheek guiltily.

A day passed in a flash. Jiang Chen sorted out all kinds of information, walked out of the Hanlin Academy, and walked home leisurely.

Jiang Chen spends his days writing at his desk. In order to avoid getting sick, when he doesn't need to socialize with others, Jiang Chen likes to walk home by himself.

Just like that, Jiang Chen walked towards home and passed by a busy commercial street where many merchants from other places were selling new and interesting things that were not available in Beijing.

Just then, a quarrel was heard. It was between an orthodox Beijing speaker and a southern businessman, who were talking incomprehensibly.

During this short period of time, many people gathered to watch the fun.

Jiang Chen also poked his head out of curiosity and asked the old man who was watching the noise, "Uncle, do you know what the noise is about?"

The old man turned around to explain to Jiang Chen, but when he saw Jiang Chen's face, he was shocked. Such a handsome guy also likes to listen to gossip!

However, the most important thing is to watch the fun, so the old man turned his head back to watch the two people quarreling.

He explained to Jiang Chen: "This Beijing guy was walking in front of the merchant's stall and took a look at what kind of shabby things were being sold. The merchant said something that was edible. Isn't this just a joke? The merchant said something that we couldn't understand, and then the two of them started arguing."

Jiang Chen had lived in the South for many years. Although the dialect varied from place to place, the businessman spoke Mandarin that was understandable in the South. Jiang Chen understood what the businessman was saying.

The businessman explained to the people, "This is a specialty of our hometown. If we plant it, we can harvest a lot. The yield per mu is 1,000 kilograms!"

The man in the capital understood what he said, and he said disdainfully: "If you try to fool others, you will be fooled."

He raised his hand to the people around him and said loudly: "Dear gentlemen, young and old, please listen to my argument.

The merchant said that the bumpkin can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu. But the rice and wheat that we eat most often, after working hard for a year, can only yield more than 300 kilograms. If the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is good, you can harvest 400 to 500 kilograms. This merchant is so good, he directly said that the yield is 1,000 kilograms per mu, is this a magical seed?"

At the end of his speech, the man was so angry that he wanted to grab the businessman by the collar. The people around him laughed in unison.

The noise alarmed the patrolling officers and soldiers. When they heard the officers and soldiers coming, they didn't even bother to watch the fun and quickly fled. If they were caught by these ruffians, they would be beaten to a pulp.

The one who was going to beat someone ran away, and the merchant didn't want to get involved, so he also wanted to pick up the dirt on the ground and run away.

This aroused Jiang Chen's interest. If it was really a worthless lump of dirt, the merchant would not have taken it with him even when running away.

So Jiang Chen followed the businessman and ran left and right to get rid of him.

The businessman ran forward with his things on his back, not daring to look back.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Chen approached the businessman and said, "Brother in front, please stay."

The businessman became even more panicked when he heard someone was following him. He wanted to quicken his pace and turn back, but he saw a scholar with outstanding temperament.

He stopped and asked, "What's the matter, sir?"

Jiang Chen asked in surprise: "How do you know I'm an adult?"

Seeing that Jiang Chen was kind and didn't look like he was going to cause trouble for him, the merchant put the things on the ground and answered respectfully, "If I'm not mistaken, you are wearing Hu silk, a kind of plain silk produced in Huzhou, Jiangnan. It's soft to the touch and has a tight texture. How can ordinary people wear such silk?"

In ancient times, merchants had the lowest status and were not allowed to wear silk products. Naturally, this merchant could not wear it either.

Jiang Chen said: "As expected, he has traveled extensively and has a lot of experience."

The businessman replied self-deprecatingly: "It's just that I was afraid of offending a noble person when I was out and about, so I trained my eyes to be sharp. I wonder why you called me for help?"

Jiang Chen pointed at something on the ground and said, "Just now I heard you say that this thing can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu. Can you introduce it to me?"

The businessman didn't expect that Jiang Chen was also in the crowd watching the excitement and heard what happened, but this thing......
