Chapter 287: Riches and Danger Intertwined

of the old men also chimed in. 。They are also action-oriented. After the meal, fueled by alcohol, they called the village head over. 。Both the village chief and the Li family were confused, not knowi...The lord raised his head to look at the moon, which had already risen above his head. He was startled by how long he had been thinking and nodded, giving orders, “Tomorrow morning, find an excuse to invite Mr. Li next door over and say that I have something important to discuss with him.”

"Yes, Lord Governor." 。He went under the leaves. 。The lord went into the room and got onto the kang, gently taking the plump girl in his arms. He sighed deeply. 。"Little girl, how many more secrets do you have that your adoptive father doesn't know" 。Your godfather has given you everything in the Hou Mansion, but it is still not enough to repay your life-saving grace. 。I didn't expect to owe such a huge favor again. 。He bowed his head and kissed her chubby forehead, whispering softly yet with an undeniable seriousness. 。"Rest assured, my godfather will definitely not let you down. He will definitely get you everything you deserve." 。From now on, the Tianwu Dynasty is yours to roam freely. No one will ever dare to bully or humiliate you again!” Jia Yin was sleeping soundly, snoring away, and naturally couldn't hear... 。Maybe she dreamed of happy things, waving her little hands and trying to put her chubby legs on her godfather's lap. But her short legs couldn't reach, so they fell down with a thump, making her scrunch up her little brow. 。The lord found it amusing, and reached out with one arm to place her chubby little leg upon his. 。As expected, the little girl immediately became happy, her mouth chattering incessantly, as if she had just eaten something delicious...Li Zhensheng felt much better because he was back home and Zhang Shenyi's medical skills were among the best in the world. In just over a month and a half, his condition had already improved significantly. 。Since he had nothing to do these days, he went to the school construction site. 。Although he couldn't work, just watching made him happy. 。When Ye Shan came, he was picking wildflowers to make dog toys for the children. 。This was a trick he often used to entertain his younger brothers when he was a child. Even now, he still entertains his son and niece with it, just as effortlessly as before. 。Hearing that the Marquis had found several new books for him, he hurried to the Ye family. 。Ye Shan quickly grabbed half a box of snacks and successfully kept the little ones who wanted to go with him. 。The Lord Hou was sitting behind the table, writing furiously. Seeing him come over, he said: "Brother, have a seat, I'll be done in a moment." 。Li Zhensheng found a chair and sat down, making tea for himself. Just as he finished brewing it, the lord arrived. 。After taking a sip of tea, the Marquis went straight to the point: "Brother, I recently obtained two high-yielding grain varieties. Their yields far exceed those of sorghum and sweet potatoes. Moreover, they are easy to cultivate, taste good, and are filling..." 。If we promote planting, in just two years, it will be enough to support the army marching back to Jiangbei and recovering lost territory. 。"Oh, there's such a good thing That's great, Heaven bless our Tianwu, restoring the mountains and rivers, it's just around the corner!" 。Li Zhensheng smiled 。He knew the marquis was determined to recover lost territories, even going so far as to neglect his own son and daughter for it. He adopted their family's Fu Niang as a foster daughter and entrusted the entire Marquisate to her care. 。Everyone admires and feels sorry for this situation. 。Now that the Lord's persistence has finally come to fruition, anyone who hears it will be happy. 。The Marquis waved his hand, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and said in a low voice: “Discovering such a high-yield food crop is a great achievement, but elder brother should know that I am a military marquis. Besides this credit, it is not a happy event, but rather a disaster.” 。“So, this credit, I want to give to the Li family next.” 。"Only in this world, there is no such thing as wealth and honor without reason. It always comes with hard work and facing danger. I wonder, big brother, would you dare to give it a try"

Li Zhensheng was startled and his eyes widened. He instinctively stood up 。Two highly productive crops that can help Tianwu recover its lost lands, this is undoubtedly a good omen. If they were presented to the court, as the marquis said, it would be a great achievement. 。Not only will it quickly replenish military supplies and national strength, but the common people will also benefit from it, no longer worrying about hunger. 。When the time comes, the imperial court will surely bestow rewards, and the entire populace of Tianwu will be filled with gratitude. 。It can be said that the Li family offered food to the heavens, but if they didn't rebel, from then on, no one in Tianwu dared to bully the Li family. Otherwise, it would be retribution for kindness! Thinking back to yesterday when his mother was at the Hou Mansion, several servants dared to humiliate her, and his heart felt like it was being fried in oil. 。If he seizes this opportunity, the Li family won't have to wait for Jiaren to pass the civil service exam, and he won't have to find another way to protect the family...He finished his tea in one gulp and asked in a gruff voice: "The risk of this matter, do I bear it alone, or does the whole Li family have to bear it" "I've made a simple plan, for now, you just need to do it alone." 。Of course, that kid Jia Yi has some spirit. You can take him under your wing if you want. 。“The earl’s calmness relieved Li Zhensheng, who let out a long sigh. 。That's good enough, he can take the risk. All that matters is that our family, young and old, lives peacefully. 。Thinking this way, he flung open his long robe and knelt on the ground, "Lord Hou, I represent my entire family in thanking you for your great kindness. With such a great accomplishment, our Li family can be assured of three generations of wealth and prosperity." 。“Get up quickly, elder brother,” the Marquis hurriedly helped him up. “This credit rightfully belongs to the Li family. I don't deserve your thanks.” 。Although I can't explain it to Big Brother clearly now, there will be a day when he understands. I was just helping out! Li Zhensheng listened with confusion, but didn't press further. 。The Marquis is absolutely trustworthy. Since he said so, just wait patiently for later. 。The two sat down again. The marquis took out the written plan and explained it point by point. 。"Big brother, these two kinds of grain are called corn and potatoes. I plan to start planting them next spring, so we don't have much time left." 。The emperor had a caravan that was spread throughout the entire Tianwu region. On a daily basis, they would gather intelligence for the emperor and also procure fine goods from across the land. 。One of them traveled to the coastal area of Quanzhou in eastern South China Sea. Occasionally, they would bring back some foreign gems and objects. 。It is said that some foreign monks traveled across oceans, bringing them with them. They are quite unique and different from our Tianwu style altogether. 。“I’ll send Big Brother to this trading company!” Li Zhensheng understood and asked, “You mean, you want me to go to Quanzhou and pretend that these corn and potatoes came from a foreign monk”The Marquis nodded. “Not only that, I will have people send the corn and potatoes there in advance, then arrange for a ship blown ashore by a hurricane, with a sick foreign monk...” 。Then, when you stay with the monks for a few days, it's best to learn a few foreign words. Then take some corn and potatoes from the ship back home and say that the monks gave them to you as a reward for your kindness, high-yield crops. 。"I'll take you back to the palace and present you to the Emperor. This accomplishment will be credited to the Li family, and no one can take it away." 。Of course, the emperor wouldn't give out rewards during the first year. He would have to see the results in autumn before doing so. 。But your official position, the children's careers, you will never have to worry about them again, and...

He hesitated for a moment, then said: "And my advice is that it would be best to get a golden amulet of immunity for Fu Niu..." 。Of course, if you don't want to, there's no need to be disappointed. 。"Just wait until I recover half the territory! Then, with my military achievements, I can get Funiu a new piece of land!" Li Zhensheng was stunned. His heart was beyond shock. 。This shock isn't just because of the meticulous plan made by Lord Hou, but also because of his protection of Fu Niang. It has reached the very core of his being. 。He actually keeps thinking about getting a golden amulet of immunity for Fu Niu! Or is it that Fu Niu will encounter some danger, making the Marquis feel she needs a golden amulet of immunity!
