I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Southern Shu.

"Your Highness, Mr. Zhu has sent a letter."

"Oh? Bring it here."

Prince Ning put down the brush in his hand and looked at the painting he had just finished.

The guard hurried forward, holding the letter in both hands and handed it over. He looked up and accidentally saw the portrait on the table, and immediately lowered his head in fright.

"See?"

A nonchalant, cold voice came from above. The guard felt a chill on his back, a little cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he knelt down quickly and said:

"No, no, Your Majesty, I didn't see anything."

Prince Ning sneered.

"Qin Li, drag him away."

A man in black suddenly appeared. The guard looked at the man in black who suddenly appeared, his kneeling body trembling constantly, kowtowed, and shouted:

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I really didn't see it."

"Quarrel."

As soon as Prince Ning finished speaking, the guards fell silent, with a look of despair on their faces, and allowed Qin Li to drag them out.

Watching the two people walking away, Prince Ning withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to stare at the painting on the table, the ink of which had not yet dried. The tenderness in his eyes flashed away, and he murmured softly: "Why? Why don't you look at me properly anymore? I did so much, don't you know, just to make you look at me properly, even if it means hating me."

He stood at the table and looked at it for a long time before he picked up the letter, sat down at the desk and began to read.

Suddenly, he sneered and said sarcastically, "Oh, it seems that those useless people in Bianjing really need to be replaced. Royal brother, you are really good at tricks."

"Qin Li."

"My subordinate is here."

"Pack up and set off tomorrow. Let's go to Bozhou Prefecture to join in the fun."

"Yes."

Lijia Village.

At dawn the next day, Li Lan and his entourage set out from Lijia Village in a horse-drawn carriage and ox-drawn cart, carrying several items to be exhibited in the prefectural capital. Passing through Qingyuan Town, they unloaded the ox-drawn cart and replaced it with a horse to pull the items. Zhou Wu then pulled the oxen back to Lijia Village.

Not long after leaving Qingyuan Town, Li Yan, who was driving the carriage in front, whispered through the curtain, "Miss, there's someone following us."

"Let them follow, don't worry about it."

"Yes, girl."

"Girl, do you want me to drug them?"

Li Lan looked at Li Xi, who was full of excitement and eager to give it a try. He reached out and tapped her forehead, saying, "How can we catch big fish if we drug them all?"

"Ouch, girl, be gentle, it hurts."

Li Xi touched her forehead which was hurt by the knock and pouted:

Looking at the girl in front of him who was two years older than him and looked like a child, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Little Wood, what are you laughing at?"

The little boy who was caught laughing quickly covered his mouth and said incoherently, "Sister Xi, I'm not laughing."

Li Xi: ...

Li Lan: …

Looking at him covering his mouth with his eyes curved, Li Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes and thought to herself: If you could cover your eyes too, maybe I would choose to believe you.

At this moment, in contrast to the lively atmosphere inside the carriage, Mrs. Wu lowered the carriage curtain with a worried look on her face, and said hesitantly, "Miss Lan, Youtian..."

Seeing the worry on her face, Li Lan sighed softly and said in a soft voice, "Don't worry, Grandma Wu. With Li Liang and Li Zhong by your side, you will definitely be able to protect Master Tian."

"well."

"Grandma, Sister Lan is the best, you have to trust her."

Hearing his clear, childish voice, Mrs. Wu, who had been worried, smiled a little. She reached out and lovingly stroked the fine hair on his head. She sighed inwardly, thinking, "If only my daughter-in-law hadn't died in childbirth, how wonderful it would have been."

Inside the Bozhou government office.

"Sir, Madam and the others have already set out and will arrive in Bozhou Prefecture at 16:45 tomorrow at : PM."

"Okay, there's a tail on the road."

"Yes. There are five of us in total. We have been following Madam and the others since they left Qingyuan Town. Sir, do you want to…"

After saying this, he made a gesture of wiping his neck. Suddenly, a cold gaze shot towards him, and he paused, lowered his head, and bowed.

"Zhou Qi, you've been with me for so long, how come you haven't made any progress at all?"

"Sir, I..."

"Don't kill them yet. Let Zhou Da and the others cooperate with Madam and follow her instructions."

"Yes."

After saying that, Zhou Qi turned around and left. He couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart and complained in his heart: Since the young master got a wife, his requirements have become higher and higher.

Zhonghe Hall of the Bianjing Imperial Palace.

The palace was completely silent. Emperor Huide was reviewing memorials. Suddenly, he picked up a memorial on the table, threw it out, and cursed:

"These useless people do nothing all day long. Impeaching Zhou Yuntian? I think since this Minister of Personnel doesn't do any real work, he doesn't need to be in the position."

The eunuchs and maids who were lowering their heads in the hall were so frightened when they heard Emperor Huide's angry roar that they immediately knelt down.

At this time, the eunuch outside the door hurried in. Looking at the scene before him, his heart trembled. He slowly slowed down his pace, knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou's attendant Zhou Er is here to see you."

"Xuan."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Huide raised his hand, and Li Miao immediately understood and asked all the maids and eunuchs in the hall to retreat.

A moment later, Zhou Er walked into the hall carrying two large things.

"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

"Get up and tell me quickly, what good things did your young master bring me this time?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and held it up with both hands. Li Miao hurried forward to take the letter and presented it to Emperor Huide.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Emperor Huide's eyes became brighter and brighter. He stood up, excitedly walked around the dragon table, and quickly walked to Zhou Er. He picked up one of the two large bags he had just opened, and looked through them back and forth with shining eyes.

"Li Miao, go get Xu Zheng and Zhou Hanmin."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Tuesday, is this really as your young master said, that the yield per mu can exceed 1,000 kilograms?"

"Your Majesty, Miss Li from Lijia Village has begun experimenting with potato planting. It's said that a few days ago, she dug over 1600 kilograms of potatoes from half an acre."

"Well, well, well, Li Lan is a very kind-hearted country lord. I deserve to confer him the title."

Emperor Huide laughed happily.

"Your Majesty, this is another thing that the young master asked me to give to Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized purse and a letter from his bosom, and bent down to hold them up with both hands.

Emperor Huide put down the sweet potato sprouts and potatoes in his hands, and the eunuch called in by Li Miao immediately walked over with a tray. Emperor Huide picked up the handkerchief on the tray, wiped his hands, and took what Zhou Er was holding.

He weighed the purse in his hand, which was quite heavy. He opened it and looked at it curiously. It was gray and looked like fine yarn. He didn't recognize it. He immediately unfolded the letter and read the contents. He couldn't help but say "good".

Emperor Huide happily walked back to the dragon table and sat down. He opened his purse again and looked at the contents. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself: This thing has so many uses. Where did this girl come from? How could she know so much?

Soon, Li Miao entered the hall with Xu Zheng, the Minister of Works, and Zhou Hanmin, the Minister of Revenue. Zhou Hanmin frowned and froze for a moment when he saw Zhou Er standing beside him. But when he saw Xu Zheng about to kneel down to pay his respects, he immediately put aside his doubts and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Your Majesty, I bow to you. Long live Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I bow to you. Long live Your Majesty."

"Minister Zhou, Minister Xu, no need to be so polite. Come and see the gifts that Lord Zhou gave me." Emperor Huide pointed at the two large bags beside Zhou Er.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two men looked at the two opened bags, puzzled but also curious. Zhou Hanmin, in particular, wondered what kind of gift his son had given His Majesty to make him so happy. So, they both quickly stood up, walked quickly over to the two bags, and looked down.

"What is this?" Xu Zheng looked up at Zhou Er and asked.

"My Lords, they are sweet potatoes and potatoes, and they can yield over a thousand kilograms per mu."

After hearing his words, Zhou Hanmin and Xu Zheng's eyes widened instantly. They couldn't believe it and asked in unison, "Is this true?"

"My Lords, a trial planting has already begun in Lijia Village, Bozhou Prefecture. A batch of potatoes was harvested a few days ago. It is said that over 1600 kilograms of potatoes were dug out from half an acre of land."

"What? Half an acre of land weighs over 1600 kilograms? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, God bless the Great Qin."

Xu Zheng's face turned red with excitement, and he knelt down and shouted.

"God bless the Great Qin, Your Majesty."

Zhou Hanmin also quickly knelt down and shouted.

"Please stand up, my dear ministers. Lord Xu, these two large bags of sweet potatoes and potatoes are now in your hands. Here's how to cultivate them."

Li Miao hurried forward to take it with both hands, walked to the prince and handed it to Xu Zheng.

"This is related to whether the people of the world can have enough to eat. You must be careful with it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"There's also this thing. Take a look at the production method and study it. I'm waiting for your good news."

Li Miao stepped forward again, took it with both hands, walked to the prince and handed it to Xu Zheng.

"Lord Zhou, you have raised a good son."

Zhou Hanmin was shocked when these words came out, and he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty. I am blessed by Your Majesty."

……

Looking at the people leaving the hall, Emperor Huide's eyes flickered and he sighed softly.

"Li Miao, is it time for your master to leave for Bianjing?"

"Your Majesty, according to the route, Master should have left for Bianjing yesterday."
