Farming and reading family

If Nguyen Phuc Seng could bring back what she wanted, then her plan would go very smoothly.

"Boss Gao." Ruan Fusheng bowed to Gao E when he saw her.

Gao E looked at the box on the carriage and asked, "Did you find what I wanted?"

Nguyen Phuc Sang said apologetically, "We brought back a kind of fish. It's soft and filling here, and it's really good. We tried to be careful at sea, but it was still dry, flat, and green when we got back. People ate it and had vomiting and diarrhea."

"Open it and take a look." Gao E didn't care when she heard Ruan Fusheng say that.

It is normal for the stems to become flat over time and turn green when exposed to light, as long as the buds are good.

Nguyen Phuc Sang had it opened.

"When we came back, we did pick the plump and round ones," explained Nguyen Phuc Seng.

Gao E looked at the potatoes in the box and thought that these potatoes were so valuable that they were actually packed in a rosewood box.

"That's all right." Gao E took two and looked at them. The buds were good and had already begun to sprout. "I want these to plant."

Ruan Fusheng suddenly realized: "Yes."

Gao E smiled and said, "Let's go in and talk."

"Carry all these to Boss Gao's yard." Ruan Fusheng ordered the servants around him and followed Gao E into the yard.

"I heard that things are very chaotic outside right now, but Mr. Ruan can come and go freely." Gao E said with a smile.

"I brought dozens of refugees. They rarely attack each other. All we have to do is give them food." Nguyen Phuc Seng did not hesitate to share his methods.

Gao E suddenly realized: "That's a good idea."

"Miscellaneous praise."

Gao E went to the main hall and motioned for Nguyen Phuc Sang to sit down. She asked, "How long does it take for your merchant ship to go out to sea at the fastest?"

“It depends on how far you go.”

"Go to where there are potatoes." Gao E said directly.

Nguyen Phuc Sang was a businessman and knew that if this kind of thing were planted in Dachang, it might solve the food shortage problem: "About three months."

Gao E did some calculations and figured that she could plant a full crop this year. "Then, can you bring a boatload of potatoes to me in three months?"

Ruan Fusheng shook his head. "The situation at sea is inherently uncertain. If we encounter a storm, all the people on board will be wiped out."

"I brought a small amount this time, so I could get to He County smoothly. If the quantity was large, my current method would definitely not work." Ruan Fusheng analyzed.

Gao E thought about it and asked: "When will you go out to sea?"

"As long as we collect enough goods, we will set sail." Nguyen Phuc Seng didn't want to waste time.

"What kind of goods do you mainly bring when you go out to sea?" Gao E asked anxiously.

"Mainly silk, porcelain, paper, some ironware and exquisite jewelry." Nguyen Phuc Seng picked out some of the items with high profits.

"Is paper easy to buy?" Gao E thought that although the paper mill had started making paper again, the quantity was not large.

"Paper is easy, but now it's mainly silk. All ships going out to sea carry silk. Silk has been in short supply in the market since it was released recently." Nguyen Phuc Seng did not hide it.

Gao E thought for a moment and asked, "How much would it cost if I hired your boat to go out to sea and bring back a load of potatoes?"

Instead of going around in such a big circle, it’s better to ask for the result directly.

Nguyen Phuc Sang had never done anything like this: "This..." He smiled helplessly, "To be honest, the ship going out to sea is not ours, so we have no say in this matter."

Gao E could understand: "What if Prince Bin comes forward?"

Ruan Fusheng's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the current prefect of Tanzhou was Prince Bin. "Is this Prince Bin's intention?"

"No matter who's idea it is, Prince Bin is willing to step forward." Gao E was very sure.

Nguyen Phuc Sang was silent for a moment and said, "If Prince Binh really comes forward, we will have no choice but to agree."

"I won't let you suffer any loss. I will compensate you for the difference." Gao E promised.

Nguyen Phuc Sang didn't really care about this: "If Boss Gao can promise to sell all the silk to us within three years, I can convince others without the King Bin coming forward."

"Okay." Gao E nodded.

"But we can't guarantee transportation from Tingzhou to Qinzhou." Ruan Fusheng apologized.

Gao E thought about it and realized that Lu Qingluo and the others would definitely be back by then: "I'll figure out a way to deal with this."

"it is good."

The two of them made the decision happily.

Gao E and Ruan Fusheng went to He County together and found Lord Cao and Jin Ruyi, and decided to collect all the silk that could be collected in He County as soon as possible.

Ruan Fusheng did not expect Gao E to have such a great influence in He County. She finished the work that was originally planned to be completed in ten days in less than two days.

This further strengthened Nguyen Phuc Sinh and Gao Nge's determination to cooperate.

"Don't worry, Boss Gao, I will definitely go out to sea as quickly as possible." Ruan Fusheng promised before leaving.

"Well, you have to keep a close eye on what I told you. You don't have to ask for big ones, you don't have to ask for plump and round ones. You don't have to worry about them turning green when they come back..." Gao E reminded again.

"Okay, I've written them all down," Nguyen Phuc Seng promised.

Gao E watched Ruan Fusheng leave and immediately went back to plant potatoes. Maybe the potatoes she had could be used to plant two crops.

But there is no idling land in Baotou Village, and the crops in the fields are growing well and cannot be destroyed.

Gao E thought of the gentle slopes on the other side of Jiming Mountain. The people in Jiming Village seemed to be reclaiming wasteland. If it was wasteland reclaimed after spring sowing, it should not have been planted.

So she took the potatoes directly to Jiming Village, and sure enough, there was some newly reclaimed wasteland.

The people in Jiming Village were all Gao E's tenants, so naturally they planted whatever Gao E said.

Soon, several trucks of fermented fertilizer were brought from Baotou Village, and large ridges were dug and potatoes were planted according to Gao E's requirements.

It is also easy to grow these potatoes. Just cut a piece of potato with sprouts and throw it in.

"You have to keep a close eye on them and don't let anyone move around." Gao E instructed You Wei.

"Don't worry, boss. I'll hang the eyeball there and count the flies that fly over." You Wei promised.

He has been a little depressed recently. Even Xie Changyao was sent out to do something, but he is still in Jiming Mountain, feeling a little useless.

So when the boss asked them to do something this time, You Wei was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"There's no need to be so exaggerated. This crop is not that precious. It's just that there are fewer of them now. I still have to save the seeds after growing them," Gao E explained.

"Don't worry, boss." You Wei patted his chest and assured.

Although You Wei was a bandit in the past, it has been observed over the past two years that he is quite down-to-earth in his work.

After planting potatoes, she returned home and saw a carriage parked at the door. Who would come to see her at this time?

As soon as I walked in, I saw Mo Xun sitting in the main room: "Why are you here?"

"Mr. Xu is passing by and came to see his daughter." Mo Xun said with a smile.

Why did Gao E think it was so easy for them to just run around in front of her house? "That's pretty hard work."

Mo Xun wanted to laugh a little: "I heard that your people are helping Prince Bin measure the land in Tanzhou?"

"Prince Bin came to complain to me, saying that the prefect was boring in his job and had to do something. I saw that he had nothing to do, so he just measured his own land. Isn't it said that all the land under heaven belongs to the king?" Gao E said easily.
