My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

The arrival of King Xuan's second son at the banquet hosted by Ji Yunshuang was, like the previous assassination attempt by the Qi army, merely a minor incident during the banquet.

Soon, everyone's attention shifted to other places.

For example, the Chu family, which had previously remained inconspicuous, surprisingly donated tens of thousands of taels of silver and grain. The Guo family, on the other hand, said they would contribute 80,000 taels of silver and 100,000 shi of grain.

With so much grain, they must have taken out all the savings they had set aside to prepare for disasters!

This was more than any of them had anticipated.

The Guo family has really taken a huge gamble this time!

It seems the Guo family thinks highly of this Lord Ji and intends to pledge allegiance to him.

The amount of a donation reflects an attitude.

If he donates little, it means the Guo family is just going through the motions.

The fact that she donated so much clearly shows that the Guo family highly regards this young Lady Ji, believing that she is trustworthy and that relying on her can lead the Guo family to its peak.

Some families who observed the Guo family's actions inevitably increased their donations.

Not only should donated money and food be registered, but ordinary families who have no money or food to donate but are willing to contribute manpower to help with disaster area reconstruction should also be recorded.

And it's not just about remembering names; it's also about recording where people are from. All the money and supplies are being used for disaster relief and reconstruction.

After the disaster area is rebuilt, a monument will be built in the disaster area to inscribe the names of all the kind-hearted people who contributed money and effort.

Many people are getting excited about the news that a monument to merit will be built.

Who doesn't want to be remembered for eternity?

However, more than having their names engraved on the monument of merit, the merchants were concerned about how to cultivate the wild yams that everyone would eat at the banquet, and whether they could get wild yams seeds from Ji Yunshuang.

This is also one of the most important purposes for Ji Yunshuang to hold this banquet.

Therefore, after the donation was completed, Ji Yunshuang's topic naturally shifted to wild potatoes.

"Today, I think everyone has tasted this wild yam and has a certain understanding of it."

By now, everyone should have a clear understanding of this crop: it's a high-yielding, delicious, and economically valuable crop.

Ji Yunshuang paused slightly at this point, and said, "Thank you all very much for your help to the people in the disaster area, so I have prepared a thank-you gift for you today."

Hearing Ji Yunshuang's words, Guo Xiaofei and the others were subtly excited. They guessed that she was probably going to talk about wild yam cultivation.

However, amidst the excitement, I also felt a slight unease.

After all, they donated so much money; it would be somewhat uncomfortable for them to act like ordinary people.

They donated so much money and food in the hope of gaining Ji Yunshuang's special treatment.

Ji Yunshuang said, "Today, I will give all the guests a wild yam seed and teach them how to plant wild yam."

In addition, I will also establish agricultural product processing workshops, and all of you have priority investment rights.

Everyone could understand the beginning of what was said. But the rest was less clear.

What is an agricultural product processing workshop? What is a right of first refusal?

Guo Xiaofei could barely understand what an agricultural product processing workshop was. He guessed it was probably something similar to the workshops built in Taoyuan Village.

But what is a right of first refusal?

Some of the more impatient ones immediately asked, "What is a right of first refusal?"

At this moment, all the burly men who had been cooking earlier transformed into banquet staff, distributing the flyers that Ji Yunshuang had prepared in advance to everyone.

There are many people attending the banquet today, and they come from all walks of life.

Many people are illiterate.

However, this does not affect everyone's understanding.

This flyer includes not only text but also drawings. The flyer is primarily for display, showcasing the design shown on it.

In addition, Ji Yunshuang also used the blueprints to explain to everyone what an agricultural product processing workshop and the right of first refusal are.

With Ji Yunshuang's explanation, everyone quickly understood what an agricultural product processing workshop was and what the priority investment right was.

People of this era may not yet understand what industrialization is, but those with keen intuition have already vaguely sensed the business opportunities within it.

By this time, the banquet was almost over.

People left one by one, but their hearts were far from at peace. Many felt that this short day had been more fulfilling than the previous two or three decades. This banquet would be something they could talk about for a lifetime.

Many others are focused on sweet potato seeds, agricultural processing workshops, and priority investment rights.

This decision could determine the rise and fall of the family. How much sweet potato to plant and whether to invest in other things will all need to be discussed with the family.

Many people hurried home after leaving the Prince's Palace.

Ji Yunshuang was also busy.

She didn't need to worry about the cleanup work after the banquet. She also didn't interrogate General Yao and his entourage for the time being.

Instead, he summoned Lu Yinheng to his study with today's donation list and asked, "Well? Is there anyone who has any doubts?"

Lu Yinheng handed her the donation list and said, "These few, those with dots in front of their names, are the ones I find suspicious. But they're only somewhat suspicious, not certain."

Ji Yunshuang glanced at the donation amount on the form.

It's not a huge number, but it's not a small number either.
