After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

After listening to this, Emperor Sheng snorted coldly, "Some people will do anything for their own benefit."

"I know this."

After hearing this, Zheng Xingguang stopped talking about it.

He only needs to tell his uncle the emperor about this matter and not worry about the rest.

Emperor Sheng didn't say much about this matter, and instead talked about a lighter topic: "How are your studies going recently?"

Zheng Xingguang's face was filled with black lines. "...Uncle Emperor, can we not talk about this?"

Just thinking about how hard he had worked during this period made him want to vomit blood.

Mu Pingping and others were keeping an eye on him. If he didn't work hard or was lazy, they would tell Bao Bao.

Emperor Sheng laughed heartily, "Xingguang, you have come to this day too?"

Thanks to the baby, Xingguang can be controlled.

Zheng Xingguang left in anger, and the emperor uncle just laughed at him.

Emperor Sheng shook his head and said in a loud voice, "Zhong Ling."

Zhong Ling walked in with her waist bent, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Sheng suppressed his smile, his tone unable to tell whether he was happy or angry. "How have you been doing recently?"

Zhong Ling knew that he was asking whether there was a drought and the water situation in the surrounding towns and villages.

"Your Majesty, I have learned that the water levels in several wells in Rongdu have dropped significantly."

"The towns and villages around Rongdu don't have a big problem with water supply, but the situation in the fields is quite bad."

"In some villages, the ground has dried up and cracked, and many crops have died from the sun."

Emperor Sheng's face darkened. It looked like a drought was really possible.

I just don't know where it is.

"I want to send Mu Baobao out."

Zhong Ling was taken aback. "Your Majesty, this... at this time, if you send Miss Mu out, I'm afraid even Prince Zheng won't agree."

It's so hot outside and there might be a drought. How could a small girl like Mu do such a thing?

It’s not that Emperor Sheng hasn’t considered these things; he has even considered them for a long time.

“There’s a drought now.”

He sighed deeply, "You know what it means when some people don't report the drought."

Zhong Ling has been with the emperor for many years, and she knows very well what it means when some officials fail to report certain situations.

He concealed this matter in order to protect his career and status.

"But Your Majesty, Prince Zheng will not agree."

After a pause, he continued, "The most important thing is that Miss Mu is only two years old. She may not be able to handle this well."

Emperor Sheng said, "On the surface, we're letting Mu Baobao and the others go out to play, but these things will be handled by other people."

"No one would suspect that Mu Baobao and his children were out having fun."

Zhong Ling said, "Your Majesty's idea is good, but Prince Zheng's side..."

Emperor Sheng pressed his brows and was also thinking about this problem. Xingguang valued Mu Baobao very much.

If Xingguang knew that he was going to send Mu Baobao to do such a dangerous thing, Xingguang would definitely not agree and would even make trouble with him.

"Let's talk about it after I discuss it with Prince Rui."

The sooner the drought is resolved, the smaller the losses will be and the fewer displaced victims will be.

……

at dusk.

Mu's dining room.

The whole family gathered together to eat and chat.

"Grandma, grandma, I bought a farm and ten pieces of land." Baby Mu raised his little paws and said as if asking for credit.

She wiggled her little butt on the stool and said, "Second Senior Brother and Prince An took me to see it."

"Grandma, will you return the silver to my Second Senior Brother tomorrow?"

It’s really fun to be in the village. There are mountains and land outside, and you can run around everywhere, just like being in the village.

Unlike here, as soon as you go out, there are alleys and people, and you can't go anywhere.

Everyone in the family was shocked. They didn't expect that the baby would buy the farm and land without saying anything.

Father Mu was the most excited. He rubbed his hands and asked, "Baby, where are Zhuangzi and Di?"

"It's good to have land. We can farm well then."

"Zhuangzi..."

Mu Baobao said hurriedly, "Grandpa, my second brother said that Zhuangzi can feed chickens, ducks, geese and pigs."

"I've seen Zhuangzi. It has a large area where you can raise chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs."

Father Mu became even more excited and took out his pipe to smoke. "Okay, okay, feed the chickens, ducks, geese and pigs."

"This way, we won't have to worry about eggs and meat."

If you have eggs and meat at home, you can buy less and spend less money.

Everyone in the family started discussing it.

"Oh, then let's raise more chickens, ducks, geese and pigs on the farm so we can use them in the shop."

"What should I plant in the fields? Ten plots of land, just growing grains and vegetables is not enough, I have to plant something else."

Mu Baobao asked, "Master, are we going to cultivate all ten plots of land ourselves?"

"My second brother said we can rent it out."

Old Man Mu was reluctant to rent it out. In his mind, not to mention ten pieces of land, even twenty pieces of land could be used for cultivation.

"We won't rent it out. We'll farm it ourselves. It's only ten plots of land."

He smoked his pipe and said, "Besides rice and vegetables, we also need to grow something else."

"Let me think about what to plant."

Baby Mu tilted his head and said adorably, "Grandpa, we will buy more land. We can't farm it all by ourselves."

"My second senior brother said that we need to learn to rent out the land, or hire tenants, otherwise it will be very tiring."

Mu Pingping spoke up, "Grandpa, what the baby said makes sense."

"Life is different in our family now. There's no need to work too hard."

"Besides, this place is far from the suburbs. It takes two or three hours to go back and forth. It's really unnecessary."

Old Man Mu was really reluctant to rent out his land or hire tenants.

In his opinion, that was unnecessary.

But Pingping was right. Just going to the suburbs would take too much time.

"With so many of us here, it's not a good idea to rent the land to others."

Mu Pingping understood his thoughts and gently advised, "Grandpa, our family's life has changed. You should change your mindset."

"In the future, our family will have more and more land. Can't we let everyone in the family farm it?"

Old Man Mu couldn't refute it, he understood that Pingping was doing it for his own good.

Mu Pingping continued, "Grandpa, don't the wealthy families in town rent their land to tenant farmers?"

"They live a comfortable life, with no shortage of food or vegetables."

"Just because we rent the land to tenant farmers doesn't mean the land is no longer ours, and we can't get the crops from it."

Mu Niuniu raised his hand and said, "Grandpa, there is another way. Let's buy slaves."

"In this case, the purchased slaves will plow the land."

Mu Baobao said, "My second brother sold a few slaves from the farm."

"Second Brother said they were restless, and now there are no slaves on the farm."

She turned her head and looked at the housekeeper, "Grandpa Housekeeper, can you go to the farm tomorrow?"

"There's no one on the farm."
