No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 537 Selling out one's country for personal gain?

When the Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan heard this, they were truly shocked.

The Fourth Master had never seen such a large yield of sweet potatoes, so naturally he couldn't believe it for a moment.

Lin Mingyan knew in her previous life that sweet potatoes had a high yield, and if managed well, the yield per mu could reach three to four thousand kilograms.

However, a large amount of fertilizer is needed to achieve high yields.

There is no potassium fertilizer now, but the sweet potatoes grown with the magical seeds can actually reach 3,500 kilograms.

This is the real God!

"Okay, okay!" The Fourth Master reacted and clapped his hands and laughed.

The last time I was so happy was when I planted sweet potatoes for the first time and achieved a yield of 800 kilograms per mu.

Unexpectedly, now, he is still so pleased because of the sweet potatoes.

Wei Wu was also extremely excited. The feeling of having accomplished an unprecedented feat made him feel elated.

After he was injured and could no longer serve as a secret guard, he fell into depression for a while.

Although he still looked calm, only he knew that he had tossed and turned countless sleepless nights.

Later, when his master asked him to be the manager of the farm, he did not struggle.

Since I have lost my martial arts skills, what can I do?

At least going to the farm would not only provide for his retirement, but also give him the freedom he had never experienced before.

Wei Wu now thinks back on it and realizes that his master was not arranging any retirement arrangements for him.

This is a gift for him to achieve unprecedented merit!

He said excitedly: "After such a long period of promotion, people from all over the country are now rushing to grow sweet potatoes."

"If we could push these high-yield sweet potatoes down now, it would truly be... a prosperous scene!"

Next autumn, I'm afraid even the poorest families won't have to eat only sweet potatoes. At least washing the vermicelli and eating it won't be a problem.

The Fourth Master hesitated, thinking that if such sweet potatoes were promoted, it would be very good.

But......

"We'll discuss the promotion later," the Fourth Master decided, and ordered, "But all the farms over there will plant the new variety of sweet potatoes next year."

Wei Wu was at his peak, as if he were poured with a basin of cold water, and he felt chilled all over.

"Your Majesty?" He didn't understand.

He also came from a poor family and his childhood memories are not very vivid.

But he remembered that he was sold after his mother starved to death, and he moved to several places before finally becoming a secret guard.

Now that they have such high-yield grain, he doesn't know why his master suddenly stopped promoting it.

"Don't worry about anything else, just prepare the batch of sweet potatoes for next year," the Fourth Master gave the order without any explanation.

Wei Wu had no choice but to obey him, even though he was full of confusion.

Lin Mingyan didn't understand either, but she knew that the Fourth Master was an emperor who loved his people like his own children, and there must be a reason for his decision this time.

He then changed the subject and asked about Wei Wu's life: "I heard that Lord Wei and Yu Niang got married?"

Yu Niang was her savior, and she did not treat her as an ordinary maid.

During festivals, people would be sent to deliver some food and daily necessities to Yu Niang and her daughter.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I sent someone to Hebei, and when he came back, he brought the news that Wei Wu and Yu Niang were getting married.

"Your Majesty, yes," Wei Wu said a little embarrassedly.

He originally looked down on Aunt Feng, and he also wanted to stay away from Yu Niang.

However, after the two of them went to Fujian alone, they fell in love with each other through their daily interactions.

But even so, when they returned to the village, the two did not make it clear.

After all, Aunt Feng still looked down on him and hoped that Yu Niang could ask the Queen to find her a good marriage.

Later, it was the always soft-hearted Yu Niang who made things a fait accompli forcing Aunt Feng to accept him.

He is not irresponsible. Although Aunt Feng's nose is not a nose and her eyes are not eyes after marriage, he pretends to be deaf and dumb.

Lin Mingyan knew from his expression that there was nothing wrong with their relationship, but Aunt Feng's temper probably often made them uncomfortable.

"Yu Niang is also my sister. Knowing that you are getting married, I have prepared some gifts for you to take away later."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Lin Mingyan added, "Aunt Feng is also doing this for Yu Niang's own good. She wants her to live a good life."

"You will achieve great things in the future. It's only a matter of time before you are given an official title."

"Sometimes being too modest is not a good thing in public."

Aunt Feng is a bit of a bully and she only wants her daughter to marry a high-ranking official.

If she knew that Wei Wu would become a high-ranking official in the future, she would not dare to jump in his face.

Lin Mingyan had a good impression of Wei Wu and Yu Niang, so she wanted to give them some advice.

Wei Wu was no fool, he understood immediately and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Wei Wu left with a bunch of rewards, and Lin Mingyan asked the Fourth Master, "Master, did something happen?"

Otherwise, the impatient Fourth Master would definitely rush to arrange the promotion of the new variety of sweet potatoes.

The Fourth Master frowned and said, "It's the Japanese side that's in a stalemate."

The Qing soldiers were far away from their homeland and went to fight in an unfamiliar place. Of course, it was impossible for them to achieve success overnight.

However, due to their large number of people and advanced weapons, they could be defeated in a year at most.

However, Mingheng recently received a secret letter, noticing some unusual behavior of Prince Zhi.

"Ah? He sold out his country for personal gain?" Lin Mingyan was startled.

She was still thinking that if Japan could be defeated at this time, there would be no need for the war of resistance.

I didn’t expect that Prince Zhi would become a traitor!

The Fourth Master snorted coldly: "With the boss's determination, he will definitely not become a traitor."

"But what if he wants to take over Japan and sit on the throne?"

This was an angle he had never considered before. After all, Japan could not compare to the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, and no one would be willing to stay there.

Now that Mingheng brought up this possibility, the Fourth Master felt that it was very likely.

Coming back to be a county prince or a prince, and being constrained by the emperor, how could it be as enjoyable as ruling the entire Japan?

"Hiss~~~All our hard work over the past few years has been just to make a wedding dress for him?" Lin Mingyan was extremely angry.

She suggested attacking Japan because she wanted the resources and silver mines there.

Didn’t it take so much manpower and resources to finally hand it over to Prince Zhi?

The Fourth Master was also having a headache: "Now it all depends on whether Fourteen can hold on to the firearms firmly and prevent this heartless bastard from touching them!"

Although he had thought of suppressing the boss after he came back, he never thought of taking his life because of their brotherhood.

Now that I know he has had this idea for a long time, I must not let him stay.

"As for the potato seeds, it's better to keep them secret for now," the Fourth Master sighed. "Even if he succeeds, he won't be able to develop his power by relying on potato seeds."

"But I've already sent a secret letter to Mingheng and Fourteen. It depends on whether they can do it!"
