After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"That's good. You are now blessed to have become close friends with Princess Zhaohua. Remember to speak well of your brother..."

The wife of Marquis Pingning gave earnest instructions.

Zhang Wanting breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly to the leader, "Yes, daughter obeys!"

Get on the carriage and travel all the way to the princess's mansion.

As soon as they entered the hall, they saw that the door was tightly closed. The two of them were like a meeting between spies, making it very mysterious.

"I called you here today to ask how much food you have in your planting space..."

Zhang Wanting roughly calculated, "I donated a batch earlier, and now I still have about 20,000 kilograms..."

"This is not enough..." Zhong Ning roughly calculated that according to the current calculation, one stone is about 160 jin, and jin is about stones!

If we want to send this to the border front, we need to collect at least 200 stones!

But there was still a problem. In that era, transportation was limited, and the transportation was done by carts. The transport team had to eat and deliver the goods along the way, and the losses on the road had to be taken into account.

By the time we reach the border, only about 20% is left!

This is a bit too much!

If you want to deliver the food to the front line intact, you have to use her space.

Or, Zhang Wanting's space.

There wasn't much space in her space for the time being, because the batch of goods she had previously collected from Cui's in Qinghe had taken up half of her territory.

Unless another batch of jade can be collected and the space can be doubled, there will be enough free space to store tens of thousands of kilograms of grain.

How about taking another walk around the Shi family?

The more I think about it, the more excited I feel.

Even if they are not from a noble family, or if you investigate which corrupt official has taken the most bribes, you can just go and hug them!

"How many acres of land are there in your space? How much grain can one acre produce? How long does it take to harvest?" Zhong Ning asked directly, not hiding his ambition to get grain at all.

Zhang Wanting also replied directly: "There are about 100 acres. The average grain yield per acre is about 500 kilograms. If it is sweet potatoes or potatoes, the yield will be even better, and it will harvest about once a month..."

If only grain is grown on 100 mu of land, it can produce about 50,000 kilograms.

But if you grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, the yield will be higher.

"Okay, if you don't have any other use for these 20,000 kilograms of grain, you can sell it to me first. Then you can plant half of the land with grain and the other half with sweet potatoes and potatoes. In a month, the sweet potatoes and potatoes you planted in the imperial farm should also have a good harvest..."

“I’ll present it later…”

"Just calculate the approximate amount and I'll give it to you..."

Zhang Wanting looked bewildered. "What do you need so much food for? Doesn't your grain store have a stable supplier? And I'm one of them..."

"My birthday is coming soon. My father originally planned to hold a palace banquet. I asked for the money for the banquet and planned to buy some food to send to the front line..."

"There's a war going on at the front lines right now, and we might run out of food and supplies. We can have the peaceful days we have today thanks to them guarding the front lines."

"I'll just consider it as a way to accumulate merit for myself, so I plan to buy some food and send it over first, as a token of my appreciation."

Zhang Wanting was silent.

Why is there such a huge difference between people?

The one fighting on the front line seems to be the father of this body of hers, right?

Why didn't she think of sending some food over?

"No need to pay, I donated the food..."

"How can that be possible?" Zhong Ning refused, "Don't worry, I have plenty of money..."

"No, I just suddenly remembered that the man leading the troops on the front line seemed to be the father of this body of mine..."

Zhong Ning:........

Yes, that seems to be the case.

"Although I have never met him, I am grateful to him for allowing me to enjoy wealth and honor in the capital..."

"How about you donate half? I'll buy half?" Zhong Ning suggested tentatively. Zhang Wanting thought for a moment and then nodded.

Zhong Ning brought Zhang Wanting to the underground secret room of the princess's mansion.

This was after she took over the Princess's Mansion. She built an underground secret room for herself in the name of creating a training ground for the Imperial Guards.

The secret room is very large, occupying approximately half of the princess's mansion.

Zhong Ning usually uses it as a warehouse.

For example, the open small warehouse is used to store vegetables, fruits, ice cubes and other things...

After all, there are many people in the princess's mansion and the purchasing volume is also huge.

So when Zhong Ning was building the secret room, he specially made an entrance through the hidden door in the kitchen. Of course, what was shown to the public was just a storage for vegetables.

Other places are not connected to the kitchen.

The place where Zhong Ning was located was connected to the study and bedroom. There were four large warehouses inside, which contained large items such as furniture, porcelain bottles, and various cloths awarded by the palace.

Of course, she kept all the gold, silver and treasures in the space.

These were too big, so she kept them in storage.

Entering one of the warehouses, Zhong Ning said directly: "Just unload the food here!"

Zhang Wanting waved her hand, and a mountain of grain instantly appeared in front of her. The grain was packed in bags and neatly stacked in the warehouse.

Zhong Ning took out a thousand taels of silver and handed it over. Zhang Wanting waved her hand and said, "It's too much. The price of grain has stabilized now. The last eight cents per catty, for ten thousand catties, it won't be more than eight hundred taels..."

"Take it! There's a deposit for the next batch of grain in it..." Zhong Ning stuffed it in and started to have a headache again. Who should he go shopping with tonight?

Otherwise, her remaining space would not be able to hold so much food.

"Do you know where there is more jade?" Zhong Ning asked.

Zhang Wanting was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Changping Marquis's Mansion. I heard that the Changping Marquis's wife's family is a jade merchant. They have a lot of raw stones shipped from Nanzhao..."

"Marquis Changping's Mansion? Is that the old man who once opposed the war against Nanzhao in the court?"

"That's probably true. There's only one Marquis of Changping in the capital..."

"Okay, very good..." Zhong Ning touched his nose and made a plan in his mind.

She would go and check it out at night. If there really was raw jade, she would be rich.

Of course, she is a kind person and would not refuse to pay.

Anyway, her space is full of fine porcelain vases, gold wares...silver notes, and some rare calligraphy and paintings. It should be no problem to exchange them for some of his jade!

Zhang Wanting didn't know what she was thinking. She just looked at Zhong Ning and seemed to have thought of something. At this moment, a sinister smile appeared on her face.

Zhang Wanting shuddered, then told herself that this was her fellow villager, not a psychopath, so she shouldn't think too much about it.

That night.

Zhong Ning, wearing a nightgown, sneaked into the mansion of Marquis Changping, and then accidentally heard Marquis Changping secretly receiving a strange-looking man in his study.

From the conversation between the two, Zhong Ning roughly knew that it was Marquis Changping who was secretly communicating with Nanzhao, because Marquis Pingning was leading his troops to attack Nanzhao on the front line and had already captured two cities in a row.
