Pei Zhengqing never expected that planting the magic potato would actually yield one-third of their grain.

However, he did not agree immediately, but said, "It would be too much of a loss for us to take one-fifth. You have to know that the yield of the magic potato is incomparable to that of ordinary grains. Not to mention that there are many kinds of food that can be made from the magic potato, and it can also be used for processing in the workshop."

After pondering for a moment, Cui Yang said, "One-quarter, no more than that. And we have to agree that we will only give you one-quarter of the Immortal Potatoes if the yield per mu reaches more than three thousand jin. If it doesn't reach three thousand jin, then this agreement is off."

Pei Zhengqing said, "If we don't do it this way, and the yield is between three thousand and five thousand catties, then we'll do as Master Cui said, and he'll give us one-quarter. If the yield reaches more than five thousand catties per mu, how about one-third?"

Cui Yang thought to himself, "It's already rare for the yield to reach 3,000 jin per mu. How could it possibly reach more than 5,000 jin per mu?"

He said, "Alright, let's do it the way Master Pei will!"

After finalizing the purchase of grain and the planting of the magic sweet potato, the two discussed various details, such as how the grain would be transported, how many pills would be given to the Cui family, and at what price.

After the agreement was reached and the contract was signed, Pei Zhengqing immediately relayed the news to Ji Yunshuang.

When Ji Yunshuang received the letter from Pei Zhengqing, she was preparing to travel to Hongdu with Fu Ci.

After reading the contents of the letter, she asked Fu Ci, "Could you arrange for someone to deliver some grain to Beiguan for me?"

Upon hearing Ji Yunshuang's words, Fu Ci felt a slight flutter in his heart.

Junior sister really didn't treat him like an outsider.

Such an important matter, and you actually asked him to let his people handle it.

He said, "Sure, but how many people does Junior Sister need?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "There are quite a few things to send. It would be best to arrange a team of two or three thousand people to ensure that the grain seeds are delivered without any problems."

Fu Ci asked, "Would it be feasible to have Min Yu take people to handle this?"

Ji Yunshuang had an impression of Min Yu, remembering that he was Fu Ci's confidant and very methodical in his work.

She nodded and said, "Okay, let him handle this. Let's make the arrangements before we leave."

Fu Ci summoned Min Yu and arranged the personnel to deliver the grain seeds to Beiguan. Ji Yunshuang then moved the sweet potatoes stored in her spatial storage to Min Yu and had them delivered to Beiguan.

The sweet potatoes I had stored in my storage space have all been used up. The remaining sweet potatoes in my storage space were harvested just a few days ago.

These sweet potatoes, grown in the black soil and imbued with the essence of the merit tree, are different from ordinary sweet potatoes.

They not only taste great, but they are also very attractive to animals.

Ji Yunshuang was worried that not only humans would try to take advantage of them, but animals would too.

However, sweet potatoes need to be breathable during transportation to prevent them from rotting, so she couldn't use the method of completely sealing them to prevent their toxic odor during transportation.

The only solution is to try to make the aura more mixed and to send more people to protect the sweet potatoes.

But how do you make its aura more mixed?

Ji Yunshuang frowned slightly, but soon came up with an idea.

After Min Yu arrived, Ji Yunshuang instructed, "Prepare chicken and pig manure and other animal droppings. Mix these droppings with soil, and then bury the sweet potatoes in the soil. Once the sweet potatoes are fully coated with soil, pack them up and transport them."

Min Yu and Fu Ci were both puzzled when they heard this.

Fu Ci couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister, why mix animal excrement with soil to make the sweet potatoes dirty before transporting them?"

Ji Yunshuang wasn't sure if doing this would completely mask the unique smell of sweet potatoes.

Therefore, when faced with Fu Ci and Min Yu's puzzled looks, she solemnly explained: "Because these sweet potatoes all come from the Immortal Realm, the aura on the sweet potatoes may attract the covetousness of some wild beasts."

Along the way, you will most likely face frequent attacks from wild animals. I did this to conceal some of their distinctive scent, but it's not necessarily entirely effective.

Min Yu asked, "An attack by wild beasts?"

Ji Yunshuang nodded and said, "Yes, on the way to Beiguan, we will pass through many mountains. The smell of these sweet potatoes may cause wild animals in the mountains to riot."

Even if you do that, it might only block out some of the scent; it still won't be effective against wild beasts with sensitive senses.

So you need to be mentally prepared to encounter wild animal riots and attacks at any time along the way.

Min Yu kowtowed to Ji Yunshuang and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely protect these sweet potatoes and deliver them safely to Beiguan."

Knowing the matter was of great importance, he dared not be careless. After hearing Ji Yunshuang's instructions, he immediately led his men to make preparations.

After Min Yu left, only Fu Ci and Ji Yunshuang remained in the room.

Because of the sudden letter that they needed to send sweet potatoes to Beiguan, Ji Yunshuang and Fu Ci's schedule was postponed by one day.

Ji Yunshuang had already made arrangements for the departure of the convoy and various affairs in the city.

Now that she had a rare moment of leisure, she took out some tea from her spatial storage and pondered the affairs of the Witch Clan while drinking it.

Fu Ci was still thinking about what Ji Yunshuang had said earlier. After a while, he looked at Ji Yunshuang and asked curiously, "Junior Sister, were those wild beasts that wanted to steal the sweet potatoes monsters?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "No."

"Are there monsters in this world?" Fu Ci moved even closer to Ji Yunshuang and asked mysteriously.

Ji Yunshuang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if there are monsters, but there are some mysterious forces in this world that we don't know about, such as the witch clan."

Thinking of the Wu Clan, Fu Ci's heart instantly felt heavy.

He said, "When we get to Hongdu, I will persuade my father properly."

As for what he wanted to persuade his father, he didn't say, but Ji Yunshuang understood what he meant.

She said, "You don't need to force yourself. Don't let me hurt the relationship between you and your son."

Fu Ci smiled and said, "I won't force you, Junior Sister. Don't worry. I believe Father is a reasonable person and he understands the reasoning behind this."

Ji Yunshuang smiled at him, but didn't take his words too seriously. How could someone who had been preparing for rebellion and wanting to seize the throne give up so easily?

However, given Prince Rui's current situation, he probably wouldn't dare to easily fall out with her. He likely wants to maintain the current situation for the time being.

However, others don't want to see them maintain the current situation and will probably try every means to make them fight each other.

She was not afraid of Emperor Gong of Zhou or King Jing of Qi; the only troublesome ones were the elusive Wu tribe.

She had a premonition that she and the Wu tribe would meet again soon.

The other party must have obtained a lot of information from her through continuous probing, and next time, that strange rune array will be prepared even more perfectly.
