Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

The accountant and waiters of the family's food shop were all found by Xiaolan through the request of Manager Xu. As the boss, Xiaolan only had to check the account books.

Although our family has a new business now, it is not very busy, after all, we have invited many guests to our home.

That day Shengxuan said he wanted to go out for a walk.

Xiao Lan had nothing to do, so she followed Sheng Xuan to the fields.

"You two just want to go out and relax. Remember to come back for lunch." Zhang said with a smile.

The father and son took a walk around the cornfield and found that the corn was growing very well. This year, because there was plenty of manure and abundant rainfall, the corn and wheat in the family were growing well.

When they reached the edge of the field, Sheng Xuan chatted with the people watching over the crops, while Xiao Lan looked at the crops in the field and smiled from ear to ear. This year, she could not only enjoy a feast, but also make a lot of money, which made her very happy.

Xiao Lan was secretly laughing on the side.

"Boss, go home quickly, someone is coming to your house..."

When Xiao Lan heard that someone was coming home, she quickly stood up. "Who is coming?" Xiao Lan asked.

"They are some officers and soldiers. I heard they are Lord He and General Shen. They are at home." said the visitor.

Since the corn was delivered, it was time for General Shen to take action. Xiao Lan couldn't help but secretly admire General Shen when she heard that he was here. It seemed that he had already sensitively realized the importance of this matter.

Shen Liu came with great fanfare, and many of his followers stopped at the gate of Xiao Lan's house. A guard saw them coming and stopped the two of them, "The general is here, no one is allowed to approach."

Xiao Lan looked around. Normally, when an important person came to the village, all the farmers would come to watch. But today, it was very quiet. Not even a single person came out to see what was going on.

Xiao Lan couldn't help feeling puzzled, but soon she understood. Apparently the farmers were frightened by the grandeur of the place, and no one dared to follow.

"This is the head of this family, the person our general is looking for." A slightly taller young man said to the captain.

This person looked familiar. After thinking for a while, Xiao Lan remembered that this person was the one who sent a letter to Lord He in the prefecture. The young man saw Xiao Lan looking at him and smiled at her.

After entering the door and walking into the hall of the front yard, Xiaolan and her daughter saw Shen Liu sitting at the table in casual clothes, drinking tea slowly. He Mingyu was sitting below her, looking out.

When He Mingyu saw Xiao Lan coming in, he immediately smiled.

Sheng Xuan and Xiao Lan hurried forward to salute Shen Liu.

"Everyone, get up." Shen Liu's voice was clear and cold, without any emotional fluctuations.

"Let's talk about corn." Shen Liu said after Xiao Lan and Sheng Xuan stood up.

Of course, he said this to Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan described in great detail how she got the corn seeds, how she planted corn on her own farm after getting the seeds, and how she discovered how to eat corn after the corn produced cobs.

"We tried it at home first and found it delicious and filling. We thought this corn could be used as food, so we thought of informing General Shen and Lord He about it."

"Your family's corn is quite famous now." Shen Liu glanced at Xiao Lan's face and said.

"No...no...you're too kind, too kind..." Xiao Lan laughed.

"Many people have come to us to inquire about corn seeds, and even offered us a high price, but we didn't accept any offer..." Xiao Lan added lightly.

Shen Liu just nodded softly.

Xiao Lan secretly glanced at Shen Liu. She felt that Shen Liu should be in a good mood now. Of course, he was in a good mood. This corn was so high-yielding. If it was promoted in Liaodong Prefecture, his army's shortage of food and grass would be solved. It would be strange if he was in a bad mood.

"General Shen, have you eaten the corn? Do you think it tastes good?" Xiao Lan saw Shen Liuguang drinking tea without saying anything, so she asked again with a smile.

"The general and I ate both," He Mingyu said. "Corn is delicious. The general and I both like it very much. Thank you very much, Miss Xiaolan."

After He Mingyu finished speaking, Shen Liu said slowly, "Not bad."

When General Shen said "not bad", it should mean very good, at least that's how Xiao Lan interpreted it. Xiao Lan winked at Sheng Xuan and said, "Dad, give the things we prepared to General Shen."

"Okay." Sheng Xuan agreed immediately and went back to the house. After a while, he came out with a box in his hand and presented it to Shen Liu.

At this time, a servant took the box from Sheng Xuan's hand and placed it in front of Shen Liu's desk.

Shen Liu put down the teacup, opened the box, took out the post inside, opened it and took a look. Xiao Lan noticed that the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

It turned out that the post recorded in detail that Xiaolan's family crossed the river to grow corn, and also recorded the yield of tender corn and her estimated yield of old corn.

Shen Liu complained in his heart, this girl is really talented, she knows the importance of things and has a heart. It's a pity that she is a girl, if she was a boy, she would definitely create some achievements.

"Did you write the words on this note?" Shen Liu had read the letter Xiao Lan wrote to He Mingyu and was familiar with her handwriting.

"Yeah." Xiao Lan nodded.

"I heard that your younger brother is now a student and is doing well in his studies?" Shen Liu said while looking at Xiao Lan.

"Listen..." There was no one else talking, it must be He Ming and this big mouth.

"Let's go to your cornfield and take a look at the corn you planted." Shen Liu stood up from the chair, put away the post, and walked out.

Sheng Xuan led the way, and everyone surrounded Shen Liu and He Ming and walked towards the cornfield on the farm.

He Mingyu looked at Xiaolan's vegetable garden like a curious baby, asking this and that, talking all the way. Shen Liu seemed to be paying no attention, but he actually listened to everything he said.

When they reached the cornfield, everyone stopped. Seeing the lush corn in the field, Shen Liu nodded.

"In a few days, all the corns will be ripe... We have sold only five acres of fresh corn out of the nearly twenty acres of land. All of them can be used as seeds. We want to keep some as food, and the rest can be used as seeds..." Xiao Lan slowly told Shen Liu about her plan.

Shen Liu didn't say a word.

"General Shen, if everyone is allowed to grow corn, can we let the people in our village plant it first?" Xiao Lan mustered up the courage and asked carefully.
