If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

What are we going to do this afternoon?

Having eaten his fill, Li Junren slumped to the ground, utterly disregarding his image, and stared at Zhou Wu.

"Your Highness, the afternoon's schedule includes a fishing trip at sea."

Zhou Wu had actually been arranging work for the past few days. City people don't do any work, but when they finally come to the countryside, they are quite enthusiastic about working.

"Oh that's fine."

The crabs and shellfish caught in the morning were just a small part of the main event; the sea fishing in the afternoon was the main attraction.

Zhou Wu had made arrangements long ago. The fishing team had skilled sailors, and of course, the Qingyang Army guards were indispensable. In order to accompany the prince on his fishing trip, the entire Qingyang Navy was mobilized to protect the prince's ship.

"How spectacular."

The sight of the three royal members aboard the Bull Demon King, with the entire fleet sailing at sea, was truly awe-inspiring.

Zhou Wu was secretly thinking to himself, "I haven't even let you see the Azure Dragon yet, otherwise you would probably be terrified."

It wasn't that Zhou Wu intentionally hid his abilities; it was just that the Qinglong ship had just completed its sea trials and was undergoing minor repairs and maintenance at the shipyard. Zhou Wu felt there was no need to show it off.

"Okay, let's stop here and get ready to log off."

"Alright, get ready to log off."

For safety reasons, the fleet did not go to the open sea, but randomly chose a spot near the coast and began to cast its nets.

"Such a big net?"

Li Junren had seen fishing nets thrown by people in Niujia Village before, but compared to the fishing nets used on boats today, they were ridiculously large.

"Is this the thing? Can it catch the seafood we eat?"

From the moment she boarded the ship, Li Xixue explored every nook and cranny, just like a curious child.

"Yes, Your Highness Princess."

Although it is only near the coast, in this day and age, human fishing in the ocean is practically nonexistent, so even in the near sea, marine products are very abundant.

"Set up the net~~~~~"

With a shout from the captain, the fishing net began to be slowly pulled up. When the entire net was pulled out of the sea, it was bulging with all kinds of seafood.

"Wow, so much seafood! Haha."

The most excited person was Li Xixue, who cheered excitedly as she looked at the net full of seafood.

Then came the most popular part: once the fishing net was opened, all the seafood was poured onto the deck, and everyone began to participate in sorting the seafood, experiencing the joy of doing the work themselves.

It took a long time to sort through just one net of seafood, leaving the prince and his crew with aching backs and sore waists. If the fishing team had to do this job, they probably would have done several nets already.

"Return to port."

Seeing the three men's exhausted expressions, Zhou Wu decided against casting a second net and immediately ordered the fleet to head back.

. . . . . . .

"I'm so tired~~"

Back at the "palace," even the usually reserved Crown Princess looked exhausted. Although it was just a net full of fish, the amount of labor had indeed exceeded their limits. However, Zhou Wu had anticipated this, so he had specially prepared some relaxation activities.

"Someone is coming."

"exist."

Several pretty girls filed in, each carrying a small basin.

"Your Highness, you have had a long day. I have prepared a relaxing activity for you: a massage."

"Massage".

These were new words again, but the three of them were already used to them and rarely asked, so they just let it be and followed the girls to their respective rooms.

The young girl's slender fingers moved over every inch of her tired skin with just the right amount of pressure—this was the best way to relieve fatigue.

After the massage was finished, all three of them fell asleep. Seeing this, the girls quietly left as well. Zhou Wu didn't wake them up, which gave him a chance to rest as well.

. . . . .

"When is dinner?"

Seeing that no one had said when it was time to eat, Yang Chun went out and happened to see Zhou Wu there.

"They're all asleep, it'll probably be later."

"okay."

"I'm sorry to trouble you these next few days."

"This is hardly hard work. Cooking for the royal family is something many people dream of."

In Yang Chun's heart, she was already very happy to be able to help Zhou Wu, but she couldn't show this emotion.

An hour later, the three began to wake up one after another.

"He actually fell asleep. That's called a massage? It feels so good, but the name is a bit strange."

Li Junren stretched his muscles and felt completely comfortable.

"It really does help relieve fatigue. Lord Zhou really knows everything."

The Crown Princess also gave it high praise.

"Zhou Wu, could you teach me how to give my mother a massage when we get back?"

Li Xixue even grabbed Zhou Wu and begged him to teach her.

"Um... Your Highness, why don't we start eating first? Everyone must be starving."

Zhou Wu calmly withdrew his hand. If Li Junren were to order his execution, Zhou Wu would have nowhere to turn for help.

"Yeah, I'm so hungry, let's eat quickly."

. . . . . .

Over the next few days, Zhou Wu acted as a guide, leading several members of the royal family up the mountain and down to the sea, showing them all around Niujia Town. Of course, it wasn't all work; after all, they were there for a vacation.

However, it was clear that the Crown Prince and his entourage were very satisfied with Zhou Wu's arrangements, especially the view from the high vantage point, with its blue sea and sky, a sight that was not found in the capital.

"What is this thing? I don't think I've ever seen it before."

The Crown Prince pointed at the corn in the field with a puzzled look. Although Li Junren was the Crown Prince, every year during the autumn harvest, the Emperor would lead the royal family members to harvest the crops in the imperial fields in the capital. So Li Junren knew a little about crops, but it was clear that corn was not among them.

"Your Highness, this is corn. You saw it when you came last time."

Hearing Zhou Wu's words, Li Junren seemed to vaguely remember it. The last time he came, it seemed to have just been planted, and now it had grown so big, so it was normal that he didn't recognize it.

"Oh, what did you say was the yield per acre?"

"At that time, I said the yield per mu was ten shi, but this year is the first year of trial planting, and there is no accurate data yet."

Zhou Wu had previously asked Hu Sai, who said that the local corn yield was about 12 shi (a unit of dry measure), so his estimate was somewhat conservative.

"What ten shi??? Zhou Wu doesn't take this lightly."

Li Junren wasn't sure if he had misheard or if Zhou Wu was lying. Ten shi per mu was a yield that had never been seen before.

"Your Highness, our Niujia Town is holding its autumn harvest ceremony tomorrow. I wonder if we could have the honor of inviting Your Highness to preside over the ceremony?"

Zhou Wu remembered that he had mentioned the production issue to Li Junren last time. The Crown Prince really does have a bad memory.

"Good~"

Li Junren would certainly participate; he wanted to witness firsthand whether this so-called corn could indeed yield ten shi per mu as Zhou Wu claimed. If Zhou Wu's words were true, then the Great Dragon would never again suffer from famine, a truly meritorious deed for generations to come.

Zhou Wu felt a surge of secret joy. The corn was secondary; he wondered what Li Junren would think when he saw the potatoes.
