Gu Qinghuai glanced at Xiao Yue and said with a smile: "I plan to improve my social status and become my own backer. Others can only be my assistants."

Xiao Yueshi's eyes lit up, "How to improve?"

In the Great Xia Kingdom, even a newly crowned top scholar could only start as a minor official. If one wanted to be promoted to a high position, one would have to endure for many years if he did not have a strong background.

And it is so difficult for an ordinary citizen, especially a woman, to have a certain status!

Gu Qinghuai smiled mysteriously, "I have a kind of grain seed that can produce 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms per mu. What do you think I will get as a reward if I present the seed to the emperor?"

In fact, she has a lot of crop seeds in her space, but she has never taken them out. She is waiting for the critical moment to make the most profit.

"Three to five thousand kilograms per mu? This... how is this possible? The highest yield of grain in the Great Xia Kingdom is only a few hundred kilograms per mu," Xiao Yueshi couldn't believe it, his voice trembling a little.

If the yield per mu is 5,000 kilograms, the people of Daxia will no longer have to go hungry and everyone will be able to have enough food.

This is a great achievement that will go down in history and benefit future generations!

Gu Qinghuai walked to the table, motioned Xiao Yueshi to sit down, then picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea.

"Xiao Huai, what's the name of the food you mentioned?" Xiao Yueshi was a little impatient.

Gu Qinghuai said: "Sweet potatoes not only fill your stomach, but also taste great."

In modern times, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is generally 3,000 to 8,000 kilograms. The planting conditions in ancient times were not as good as they are today, so Gu Qinghuai was a bit conservative.

"Sweet potato, I've never heard of it, let alone seen it," Xiao Yueshi's eyes flashed.

Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "Yueshi, forgive my frankness, but I can ask your grandfather for help when reporting to the court. However, your grandfather is only a seventh-rank official, and I am worried that he cannot protect my achievements."

"So, you have to find someone with a very strong background. Even if the emperor wants to blur your merits, that person will dare to speak out and get benefits for you," Xiao Yueshi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Gu Qinghuai smiled slyly, "Yes, I want to be a county lady, of the second rank."

Generally speaking, only women from the royal family could be granted the title of county lord, but the daughters of some important officials or ordinary women could also be granted the title if they had made significant contributions.

Xiao Yueshi curled her lips and smiled, her peach blossom eyes shining, "If the grain yield is really as high as you said, the position of county lady may be worthy of you. I have a candidate in mind who can guarantee your contribution."

"Tell me about it," Gu Qinghuai chuckled.

In addition to the people Qi Yuanxiu mentioned, Uncle Daha also gave her a candidate a few days ago. She wanted to see if Xiao Yueshi and Uncle Daha were talking about the same person.

Xiao Yueshi lowered his voice and said: "Prince Yi."

Gu Qinghuai smiled and nodded, "What you said is the same person that Uncle Dahe gave me."

Xiao Yueshi moved slightly closer and whispered, "Prince Yi, whose full name is Qi Jingyi, is twenty-seven years old this year. He is the emperor's younger brother from the same mother and is deeply loved by the emperor. Qi Jingyi is extremely handsome. He has been very fond of his appearance since he was a child and is narcissistic and arrogant. Twelve years ago, the emperor was assassinated during the autumn hunt. Qi Jingyi blocked the knife for the emperor, and the knife happened to cut Qi Jingyi's face, disfiguring Qi Jingyi's face. From then on, his temperament changed drastically. He became eccentric, poisonous, and moody. No minister in the court dared to offend him. However, the difficulty lies in how you can take down such an unapproachable person."

Gu Qinghuai smiled confidently: "Uncle Dahe has helped me collect a lot of information about Prince Yi. Prince Yi is disfigured and loves to drink. These are all things I can learn about him."

Xiao Yueshi's eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean, you have a way to heal his face?"

"Yeah," Gu Qinghuai nodded.

Uncle Dahe was cured by castration, so what’s a mere disfigurement?

Xiao Yueshi leaned back in his chair, looked at Gu Qinghuai with a smile, and said jokingly: "Xiaohuai, if you want, the whole world can be yours."

Gu Qinghuai smiled and said: "I am not interested in the world. In a peaceful environment, lying down completely, having endless money, and living a low-key and prosperous life are my ideal life."

"It's a very ambitious ideal," Xiao Yueshi laughed.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving one million points of male admiration, and a total of ten million points. Wow! Host, you have great charisma. The men who love you love you to the core. If you ask them to die, they will die immediately and will never fall in love with someone else in this life. Congratulations to the host for becoming the most attractive female host in the universe! Two soul-restoring pills as a reward. People under fifty years old who stop breathing for no more than four hours can eat a soul-restoring pill and come back to life.]

Gu Qinghuai:!!!

The Soul-Restoring Pill is actually a drug that can bring the dead back to life! You must keep it well.

But, is she really that attractive? Why doesn't she believe it? She always thinks she is just an ordinary loser.

[Host, my daughter never lies]

Gu Qinghuai looked at Xiao Yueshi sympathetically, and asked his daughter with his consciousness: "Daughter, although I am very charming, I only drink a little from the vast sea. It is enough for Qi Yuanshuo, that young hunk, to love me. Is there any way to make other men stop loving me?"

Being loved to death by so many people, she must have a psychological burden!

She likes to be a little transparent and not noticed by others.

It is enough to have someone who loves you, to have three meals a day, to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and to enjoy life in a low-key manner. There is no need to be noisy and live under the spotlight of the bustling city all the time.

[No, host, as long as you are alive, you will always exude charm! ]

Gu Qinghuai: ...

Seeing Gu Qinghuai in a daze, Xiao Yueshi asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Gu Qinghuai shook his head and said, "I'm thinking about something. Let's go back. I have to think about how to bring that crazy Prince Yi into the pirate ship."

Forget it, she can't control other people's will. Who others like is their business.

After Gu Qinghuai returned to Chunheyuan, Lingzhi handed him a letter, saying that it was brought by Baishou.

The letter was written by Qi Yuanshuo.

[Sister Xiaohuai:

A letter is like a meeting.

Sister Xiao Huai, I miss you so much! You are always in my mind. I have good news for you. We have successfully repelled the attack of the northern barbarians.

In this war, I killed the most enemies, made the most contributions, and saved hundreds of cavalrymen. Now, the entire cavalry battalion respects me very much. I also recruited dozens of loyal brothers.

Sister Xiaohuai, am I awesome?

Captain Fu has been very good to me and secretly gave me the power of the cavalry battalion. Taking advantage of this pursuit of the Northern Barbarian Cavalry, I plan to recapture Tongcheng and Biancheng. If I capture them, Captain Fu will secretly report the news to the court, and Baishou will be needed at that time. With such a merit, it is impossible for General Chang to take it for granted.

I said that I would gain a foothold in the army as quickly as possible, and when I have taken revenge, I will marry you and we will have a litter of cubs. However, if you don't want to have children, it's okay, just having little Huhu is enough.

Xiao Huhu has grown up again, right? Sister Xiao Huai, don't forget to tell her every day that I am her father.

Okay, I won’t go into the other details. Just take good care of yourself and Xiao Huhu.

My love, my dearest, I miss you every moment under the sky of a foreign land. 】
