Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Although Shen Liu did not answer, his walking speed obviously slowed down.

"See if we can save some of the corn that is not used for planting for our family as food."

"As food?" Shen Liu said, "Does your family still lack food now?"

The grains harvested from the fields at Xiaolan's house were all placed in the drying yard. Shen Liu came to inspect today and naturally saw it all.

Xiao Lan pretended to be dumb and said with a smile, "Otherwise, you can just leave us less food rations and more corn seeds."

Shen Liu laughed, he saw through Xiao Lan's little plan.

"How much do you want?" Shen Liu asked.

"We need 500 kilograms of corn seeds. As for the corn for food... it's up to you, General." Although Xiao Lan wanted to ask for more food rations for her family so that they could eat cornmeal more often, she thought that the food rations would be gone after they were eaten, so it would be better to ask for more corn seeds so that more corn could be grown next year.

Five hundred kilograms of corn can be used to grow more than 200 mu of land. Xiao Lan still wants to buy more land. Her original wish is to be a landlord. Her family can't grow so many corn seeds. She can give some to her relatives so that they can also grow corn.

It's not that she didn't think about asking General Shen for more corn seeds, but the total amount of corn was only more than 10,000 kilograms, and after removing those that couldn't be used as seeds, the seeds he had were limited.

"Leave 500 kilograms of corn for seeds and 200 kilograms of corn for eating..." Shen Liu said as he walked out of Xiaolan's yard.

Xiao Lan was overjoyed. She had originally been just trying it out. Even though she didn't get anything, at least she had tried.

How could she not know what Shen Liu was planning? After all, she had to present her case to His Majesty and promote it in various regions, so seeds would become a valuable resource.

The number of seeds is fixed, so each one is precious. Even where and how to promote corn seeds is not decided by Shen Liu, the final decision depends on the person above.

Xiao Lan actually had no hope of asking Shen Liu for corn, she just wanted to give it a try. She never expected that Shen Liu would not only leave corn seeds for her family, but also corn rations.

When she went out, she saw Shen Liu's followers unloading corn from the carriage. The man left her the corresponding number of corns according to what Shen Liu said.

They also discovered that the horses they rode over actually liked to eat corn stalks, so the follower whispered a few words to Shen Liu and then took away all the corn stalks from Xiaolan's house.

It was getting late. After Shen Liu and his men left, the family returned to the drying yard and looked at the slightly empty space. "More than 10,000 kilograms! I've been farming for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen so much grain. The yield per mu of corn is too high..." Sheng Xuan murmured.

"That's right. If you ask me, corn is a good thing. It tastes good when cooked when it's tender. When it's old, it can be ground into powder and made into pancakes. It's also delicious and fragrant! This stuff is much better than bean rice." Zhang said.

Looking at the mostly empty space in the drying yard and the only corn cobs left, the family felt both empty and happy.

What was left empty-handed was of course the more than 10,000 kilograms of corn that just passed through their hands and was taken away. What was joyful was that, thinking that Sheng Xuan was granted an official title just because he grew wheat, everyone couldn't help but look forward to what benefits their family would get this time.

The reason why Sheng Xuan got the official position last time was just an exchange of interests between Xiao Lan and Shen Liu. Although Sheng Xuan and Zhang had guessed some of it, they were not very clear after all.

Although Shen Liu did not promise anything when he left this time, Xiao Lan, Zhang, Sheng Xuan and others all believed that Shen Liu would not treat their family unfairly and would not take their things for nothing.

Even if it was free, it wouldn't be a problem. After all, think about the benefits their family has gained now, they were all preserved under Shen Liu's protection.

Otherwise, with so many secret recipes and so many industries, how could they not be jealous? Their family is just enjoying the shade under the big tree.

"Even if General Shen doesn't give us the corn seeds, it doesn't really matter. After all, we make a lot of money selling young corn." Although Sheng Xuan is an official, he is an honest man and he is easily content.

Sheng Xuan only knew that Shen Liu had helped him get this position, so in his heart, he was filled with gratitude towards Shen Liu.

"That's right. Our family has benefited a lot from General Shen over the years. We should be grateful." Zhang also said.

Xiao Lan just smiled. After interacting with Shen Liu over the years, she knew that although Shen Liu was strict, he was very clear about rewards and punishments.

If you do things for him, he will give it to you even if you don't ask for it. Now Shen Liu has taken away her family's corn. Even if Shen Liu didn't promise anything on the spot, Xiao Lan believes that her family will definitely get benefits in the future.
