The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

Chapter 103 The Crown Prince and Tutor

Lu Linlang had asked Chief Qiu in advance that she could inform relevant people about the things in the mountains as appropriate, but Lu Linlang still had some reservations and did not tell the princess all the treasures they had.

"I never thought this mountain would be the mausoleum of the founding princess. It seems that our ancestors of Daqi have guided us here. Cousin, can I go and burn incense for our ancestors myself?"

Guan Ling sighed after listening to their love story. As a member of the royal family, she knew more about their affairs than the outside world. She also knew the regrets of her ancestors. However, after ascending the throne, family affection was ranked above power. She could understand the choice between the two ancestors.

Although her brother passed the throne to her, she herself was not sure whether she could hold on to the throne. She even had to hide and not dare to hold everyone back.

The throne, is that position really that attractive? The former regent was also their uncle, the emperor's brother with the same father and mother. She still remembered that when she was a child, the regent held her in his arms and loved her and her brother very much.

But only ten years have passed, and everything has changed. People and things are no longer the same, and they have eventually become opposites.

"Princess, it's not appropriate to reveal your identity now. You have to wait until the Tatars retreat and General He takes you over. Only then can you appear before the world openly."

"Okay, I know. Those boxes of silver were prepared by General Qiu for his children and grandchildren. Now that he has sent them to me, I will return them in the future."

"I want to thank the princess on their behalf. By the way, I plan to let Qiu Lin be the princess's bodyguard. If the princess wants to walk around nearby, he will be safer. His martial arts skills are not bad. If the princess goes to the northwest in the future, he can also be taken with her to protect you."

"Okay, then I feel much more at ease. Otherwise, I would worry about causing trouble for you every time I go out." Guan Ling nodded in agreement. She did not have any guards around her. They were all her cousin's men. It was just right for Qiu Lin to come.

When Qiu Lin learned that Lu Linlang asked him to protect Guan Ling, although he didn't understand the meaning, he still protected Guan Ling wholeheartedly and would not let Guan Ling get into any trouble.

Guan Ling no longer studies with those children. Lu Linlang asked He Yue to invite a Mr. Yuan from the northwest. Mr. Yuan was the son of the former Prince's tutor. At that time, the Prince's tutor was forced to retire and return to his hometown by the Regent. His hometown happened to be in the northwest.

After He Yue announced the emperor's last will and testament, the Crown Prince's tutor, supported by his son, found He Yue. He felt very sorry that the emperor died for his country. He was sent away by the regent because he did not have the opportunity to teach the emperor the art of being an emperor.

He did not want Daqi to fall into the hands of the Regent again, so he wanted his son, who had received his teachings, to teach the princess personally. He Yue did not send the person directly at first, but after carefully investigating the affairs of the Prince's tutor's family, he found the Prince's tutor for a secret talk.

The result of the secret talk was that the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Crown Prince's tutor died in an accident the next day. Far away in Chongshui, a couple named Yuan appeared. Lu Linlang bought them and made them work at home.

In fact, this person is the eldest son of the Crown Prince's tutor. His wife was also a talented woman from a scholarly family. They fell in love and got married. Now the princess is taking classes with them.

In Lu Linlang's view, the emperor's mindset is a way to teach how to check and balance court officials and balance the relationships between all parties. Although Lu Linlang does not understand it, she respects the thinking of the ancients. In a feudal dynasty, perhaps this is the best means.

She knew that she had no ability to change the situation of this dynasty, and could only do her best to do what she was good at, which was the best explanation to herself and the people.

Guan Ling went to study every day. Qiu Lin stood in the corridor every day and waited until Guan Ling finished her studies before escorting her back to the yard.

At first, Lu Linlang also wanted to observe whether Qiu Lin could stay, but after observing for a while, she found that he was indeed patient and had no complaints.

Yang Chun and Taoist Zhang have become very skilled at making smoke bombs. After He Yue's second letter arrived, Lu Linlang asked the Qiu family to help escort him to the northwest. On the battlefield, whoever has weapons will have the upper hand, no matter who they are.

Another busy period has been completed and the New Year has passed.

The people were planning to start spring plowing, and the seeds left in Lu Linlang's farm began to be sold.

The crops in her farm grew very well last year. Many people saw it and word spread quickly. Many people wanted to buy seeds. Lu Linlang promised everyone that she would sell them in the spring of this year.

If I sell them in advance, I'm worried that they won't be able to preserve them and the seeds will be destroyed.

This year is the first year of selling seeds, and Lu Linlang is in charge personally. She thought that some people would come to buy, but the number of people who came today was far beyond her expectations. There were people from villages within a dozen miles, and each family sent one person, so the place outside the farm was full.

Lu Linlang felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, she had saved enough seeds last year, otherwise there would not be enough to share.

"Everyone, please stand apart by village. Are the village heads here? I'll have someone help you count how much you all need. After the count is done, you can go back and distribute it slowly. Everyone is in a hurry, and preparing one by one will take too long."

After hearing her words, they were no longer worried. This method was good, better than waiting here for a whole day and not knowing whether there would be seeds.

"Mr. Lu, I heard that the planting methods in your village are very good. I wonder if we can learn from them?" At the request of the villagers, the village chiefs of several villages came to Lu Linlang for help.

"We all worship water, and this is a matter of great benefit to the country and the people. Naturally, we can learn from each other. I will have someone write down the planting methods someday. If you are interested, you can come to the manor and read it. I will arrange for someone to explain it here.

If you still don't understand, you can enter the manor to experience it yourself and do it yourself after obtaining the consent of the manor manager. "

Lu Linlang already had plans to get the Chongshui people to increase production, and when she heard them bring it up on their own initiative, she agreed.

"That's great, Mr. Lu. We all remember your kindness. The villagers say that if they can come to your workshop to work, they will never have to worry about food and clothing. Are you still hiring this year? You must give priority to people from our village. Our village is closest to Xishan Village."

"Hey, you old man, you want to eat all the food while we are not paying attention. Mr. Lu, look at our village. Our village is even poorer than them."

Everyone was just secretly fighting for a position in order to get the seeds, but now they started to quarrel openly over the workshop issue.

"Don't worry, everyone. If the workshop is still recruiting, you will definitely be given priority." Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lu Linlang didn't dare to make a direct promise and could only laugh it off.

I originally thought that the seeds would take a few days to sell, but who knew they would be sold out in just one day. By the time other people heard about it and came, the seeds had already been sold out.

"Boss Lu, you have to prepare more seeds next year. We've all heard the harvest is high and everyone wants them."

"Don't worry, there will be a next time, there will be a next time."
