Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

"It's so effective? Do you still have this pill?" Doctor Hua wanted to put an end to Ma Ming's entanglement.

Unexpectedly, the things he took out were too valuable, which directly aroused Ma Ming's greed.

He was so shameless that he was not satisfied with just one and even wanted more.

Doctor Hua, no matter how good his temper was, couldn't stand it anymore, "Do you think I'm a wealthy man?"

As soon as Doctor Hua said this, Chu Ci knew that something bad was going to happen.

Chu Chengyun immediately pulled Doctor Hua to explain, "It's mainly because we came in a hurry and we don't have the extra energy to prepare more herbs."

That means there are no extra ones!

After getting this answer, Ma Ming was extremely conflicted. He only had one pill, and although he wanted to keep it to save his life, the adult was more important to Lianzhou at this time.

After struggling for a long time, Ma Ming still did not take the pill. He carefully wrapped the pill with oil paper and put it in his arms.

I plan to give it to Lord Sima when we get to the quarantine area.

Seeing this, Chu Ci felt confused, but since the pill had already been given out, how the other party dealt with it had nothing to do with him.

He once again told Doctor Hua to prescribe the medicine boldly and leave the matter of the medicinal materials to them.

Then, under the guidance of the guide, Chu Ci and his party came to Guangjuxuan, where the head of the Chu family of the Wuxi lineage currently lives.

The waiter was drowsy when he saw Chu Ci and his party walk into the store. At first he thought he was seeing things. After checking again and again, he realized that someone was actually staying at the store at this time.

The waiter came over immediately and asked with a big smile, "Dear guests, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

"Open three upper rooms and send some delicious dishes to the rooms." Chu Ci said, taking out a five-liang silver note and slapping it on the counter.

The waiter's eyes lit up and his attitude became more attentive. He nodded and bowed in response while efficiently leading Chu Ci and the others to check in.

During the period, he also did not forget to introduce to Chu Ci and others the current vegetable and grain prices in Lianzhou.

The implication is that you have to spend your five taels of silver at this time.

It is understandable that there are not enough medicinal materials, after all, no one would hoard them normally.

But as for food, in this world where every family is farming, who wouldn't stockpile it for half a year or a year?

So when Chu Ci heard the news, he was stunned. "As far as I know, the plague broke out only half a month ago, why is Lianzhou already short of food?"

The waiter hesitated when he heard this, so Chu Ci directly used silver and money to clear the way.

Chu Ci learned from the waiter that before the officials and wealthy families in Lianzhou City left, they carried out a crazy looting.

The waiter who had just started talking couldn't help but sigh: "If this continues, I don't know if the plague will kill people, but there will definitely be a lot of people starving to death due to lack of food."

Chu Ci was furious: "What's wrong with these people? Aren't the lives of ordinary people lives?"

However, no one dared to respond. Even Chu Chengyun warned the waiter beside him and changed the subject. "Aci, let's go find the head of the family first."

Chu Ci then realized belatedly that his words were inappropriate.

He quickly slapped his mouth in a fake manner: "I was just angry at the moment and said something without thinking."

"I understand. I understand." The waiter responded nonchalantly, highlighting the customer's correct advice.

Then he asked kindly, "If you want to look for someone, do you need me to lead the way?"

Chu Ci happened to have something to ask the head of the Chu family. He turned to Chu Chengyun and asked, "Grandpa Chu, which room is the head of the family in?"

Chu Chengyun almost always agreed to Chu Ci's requests. "Room A, Room 1."

The waiter immediately understood: "Room A is on the second floor. Please follow me, gentlemen."

The waiter knocked on the door gently at first. Then he raised his voice and said, "Sir, someone wants to see you. Can you open the door?"

The head of the Chu family was almost always thinking about the situation outside. As soon as he heard the sound, he immediately opened the door.

He saw that Chu Chengyun was not the only one standing outside the door. The head of the Chu family was really excited and worried. "Why did you come at this time? Not only did you come here by yourself, why did you..."

Chu Ci understood that Chu Chengyun's kindness to him was not pure, but his kindness to him was real.

Therefore, Chu Ci didn't want Grandpa Chu, who was so kind to him, to take the blame for him. "Master, Ah Ci wants to ask for something. Can we go in first?"

"Okay, you come in first." As expected, Chu Ci's bet was right, and the head of the Chu family almost immediately complied with his wish.

After sitting down, he said to Chu Ci without any delay: "Ah Ci, what do you need me to do?"

Chu Ci didn't expect the Chu family head to be so direct, but she liked this approach very much. "Family head..."

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by the head of the Chu family. "Calling you the head of the family seems a little strange. Your Grandfather Chu and I are brothers. Since you call him Grandpa Chu, it's not too much to call me Grandfather, right?"

Chu Ci also said: "Grandpa, do you know that Lianzhou is short of food?"

The head of the Chu family nodded and said, "I know a thing or two. Does Ah Ci have any good ideas?"

"I have a high-yield grain variety that can be used as both food and seed. Most importantly, it can mature in 60 to 70 days. Grandpa, are you willing to help me so that all the people in Lianzhou can grow this grain variety?"

Chu Ci did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

The ancestor once left a will, saying that a noble person would help the Chu family to stand upright again. Before, he was skeptical about it, but now, he not only believed it, but was also stunned by Chu Ci's generosity.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and asked, "What is the yield per mu of this high-yield grain?"

"It should be at least 1,000 to 1,500 kilograms, and it may deteriorate later. But if fertilizer is applied properly, it should not be difficult to produce 800 kilograms per mu."

In her previous life, the world where she lived, the potato yield per acre could reach 3,000 kilograms.

However, although potatoes have been optimized in space, Chu Ci is not completely sure whether they can adapt to this strange world.

Even so, it still shocked everyone present.

You have to know that in this world, the yield of crops per acre is only between 100 and 150.

Thousands of pounds! It has increased tenfold. Even if Chu Ci said that it might degenerate, 800 pounds is a number that no one dares to think about.

The head of the Chu family was so excited that he paced back and forth in the room.

After a long time, the head of the Chu family stopped, stared at Chu Ci and asked solemnly: "Ah Ci, do you know what this means?"

Chu Ci nodded without hesitation, "I understand. I beg you to lend me a hand, Grandpa."
