Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Since there were no major events in the court, Gu Yao simply took half a month of sick leave.

Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life, how wonderful!

Moreover, the morning court session is something that's really not for humans.

The morning court session begins at 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM. Xiao Jiu previously gave the exact time as 5:30 AM in summer and autumn, and 6:00 AM in winter and spring. Even though the Prime Minister's residence is very close to the palace, Gu Yao still has to get up before 5:00 AM.

The fact that there was no nightlife in ancient times is outrageously healthy.

Gu Yao, wrapped in a blanket, sat in the courtyard reading. He had slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky, which made him never want to go to the morning court again.

As soon as Xi Yunzhou entered the courtyard, he was greeted by this beautiful scene.

A beautiful woman reclines on a couch, accompanied by the shadows of bamboo.

Realizing what she was thinking, Xi Yunzhou blushed slightly.

Gu Yao seemed to only just notice him, a gentle smile playing on her lips. "Xianzhi, you've arrived."

Xi Yunzhou looked at Gu Yao and nodded blankly, his face growing hotter. Fortunately, nearly half a year of hard work had tanned his skin quite a bit, so it wasn't so easy to tell.

Seeing Xi Yunzhou's dazed expression, Gu Yao found it amusing and asked Qingzhu to bring a chair for him.

Xi Yunzhou sat down and took out two muddy items from the cloth bag he was carrying: a sweet potato and a potato, oh, and half a dried corncob.

That brocade bag embroidered with exquisite patterns probably never imagined that it would contain such simple and unadorned agricultural products.

Oh, it's still covered in mud.

Its owner was still excited, talking incessantly to Gu Yao about the three things. Gu Yao stared wide-eyed at the moon-white brocade bag covered in mud.

This pattern is a new product from Jinxiufang that just came out a few days ago, right?

He remembered that Shen Zian had shown him the design, and he had heard that it sold very well and was now sold out in the capital.

Gu Yao asked sincerely, "Xianzhi, why use such expensive packaging for something covered in mud?"

Xi Yunzhou was taken aback by Gu Yao's question. He glanced down at his bag, waved his hand dismissively, and said, "I have something that can benefit all people. How can this bag compare?"

Xi Yunzhou was also heartbroken, as this item had recently been out of stock in the capital, and he really liked the pattern.

But what could he do? Was he supposed to tell the truth? He had dressed up carefully to see Gu Yao, but the burlap sack didn't suit him at all.

Compared to Gu Yao, a bag is nothing.

Gu Yao sensed the pain on his face and gestured to Qingzhu, who understood and left.

Interrupting Xi Yunzhou's incessant chatter, Gu Yao picked up the half-ear of corn; it was plump and golden, clearly growing very well.

When the cool fingertips brushed against the back of his hand, Xi Yunzhou's entire body stiffened as if he had been electrocuted.

Gu Yao didn't notice anything unusual about him, focusing intently on the corn in his hand, his eyes shining brightly.

The afternoon sun shone on Gu Yao's face, casting a soft glow upon him. The gentle and sincere smile at the corner of his mouth made Gu Yao appear somewhat Buddhist, as if he were a deity who saved all living beings.

Perhaps it was the bright afternoon sun and the gentle breeze, but Xi Yunzhou couldn't help but call out to Gu Yao, "Le'an..."

Gu Yao looked up in confusion, his clear eyes fixed on Xi Yunzhou, but he couldn't say anything more.

He is a man with the world in his heart, and he deserves better. I shouldn't cause him unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, Le'an already has someone in her heart.

Thinking of this, Xi Yunzhou felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He lowered his head to hide his bitter smile, regretting that he hadn't met Gu Yao sooner.

Suppressing the bitterness and surging emotions in his heart, he spoke with difficulty.

"We must ensure that all the people in this world have enough to eat!"

If we can't be lovers, let's be friends.

Meeting Xi Yunzhou's bright eyes, Gu Yao felt that this wasn't what he originally wanted to say.

Moreover, he always felt that there was a hint of bitterness in Xianzhi's expression.

Suppressing his doubts, Gu Yao didn't delve into it, his face full of confidence, "Of course!"

Because of Xi Yunzhou's visit, Gu Yao felt a sense of inspiration and cheered up, ending his sick leave early.

Looking at the still dark sky outside, Gu Yao felt a buzzing pain in his head.

I just want to quit and don't want to go to work.jpg

He brought the results of Xi Yunzhou's work over the past six months to the imperial court, and the process went surprisingly smoothly.

The newly selected students from the Ministry of Revenue, who had passed the imperial examinations, had their eyes light up when they saw the three crops that Gu Yao had brought, as if they had seen some kind of treasure.

Those of them in charge of agriculture are better able to understand what these three crops represent.

If, as Gu Xiang said, these three crops could achieve such a large yield, it might be the fate of all the people in the world.

Seeing the joyful atmosphere in the court, Xi Yue glanced at Gu Yao, who was smiling, with a deep look in his eyes. His emotions were not visible on his face, which was hidden behind the twelve tassels of the crown.

Gu Yao praised Xi Yunzhou highly in court and secured him a position in the Ministry of Revenue, where he would not be confined but would instead guide the young men in the Ministry on crop cultivation and breeding.

After all, there are specialties in the art industry.

If we're talking about farming skills, Xi Yunzhou is definitely number one; those greenhorns from the Ministry of Revenue are just junior brothers.

After the morning court session, the newly appointed scholars from the Ministry of Revenue were overjoyed, carrying sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn with great enthusiasm. They were going to find Prince Yi and quickly arrange for breeding and promotion.

Potatoes, in particular, have a high yield and are not picky about soil, making them a great food that can feed poor people.

Promoting its cultivation is not a short-term matter, but what happens afterward is not Gu Yao's concern.

In this world, Gu Yao won't live to see that time.

Having resolved the two major tasks of water conservancy construction and the promotion of new crops, Gu Yao felt relieved. The remaining task was to take care of his family.

While Gu's parents were traveling the world, he had already instructed Shen Zi'an to secretly erase their traces. The most pressing matter was Gu Cheng's situation.

In just over a month, news of victory would reach the capital. It was during that decisive battle that Gu Cheng disobeyed the imperial decree, which became the trigger for Xi Yue's attempt to intercept and kill him.

Gu Yao pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a bit of a headache.

It was as if he had returned to the time when he was planning his revenge in the present world, working tirelessly day and night.

They all have such unhealthy bodies.

This left Gu Yao feeling somewhat dazed, unsure whether it was a dream or not.

After concentrating, Gu Yao stopped thinking about it.

"Little Jiu, can I exchange my merit points for life-saving medicine?"

0529, who was gnawing on the duck feet that 66 had given him, was startled by the sudden sound and his hand trembled, causing the duck feet to fall to the ground. He didn't care about the loss, wiped his hands, and pulled up the system shop panel.

"Yes, host. The Rejuvenation Pill is a valuable elixir in the cultivation world. For mortals, as long as they're not dead, it can keep them alive and allow them to slowly recover from their injuries. It costs five thousand merit points per pill. Because this isn't a cultivation world, it's quite expensive."

Gu Yao nodded, and 0529 promptly exchanged one for him, grinning from ear to ear.

After all, the system gives a 5% rebate on the host's purchases, which amounts to 250 merit points.

Gu Yao gripped the brocade box tightly, a determined light flashing in his eyes. He wanted to make everyone in the Gu family leave the court completely, ensuring the Gu family's peace and prosperity.

0529 was immersed in the joy of being rich. The exchange ratio between merit points and points was two to one. This time it made a net profit of 125 points. How could it not be happy?

Most of the points earned from buying items for Gu Yao in this dimension have been recovered.

Once the settlement is completed, the host will return the points to me, which is great.
