Chapter 287 Finding Wealth and Honor in Danger

The Marquis looked up at the moon in the sky. It had already risen above his head. He was surprised to realize that he had been thinking for too long, so he nodded and ordered, "Tomorrow morning, find an excuse to invite Brother Li next door, and tell him that I have something important to do." discuss."

 “Yes, Lord Marquis.” Ye Shan went down.

The Marquis entered the house and got on the kang, gently protecting the fat girl by his side, and sighed deeply.

"Little girl, how many secrets do you have that your adoptive father doesn't know? The fact that your adoptive father gave you everything in the Marquis Mansion is not enough to repay your life-saving grace. I didn't expect that I owe you such a big favor. "

He lowered his head and kissed the fat **** the head, making a soft but extremely solemn promise.

“Don’t worry, my adoptive father will definitely live up to your trust and will get you everything you deserve. From now on, in the Tianwu Dynasty, you will be free to travel freely, and no one can bully or humiliate you!”

 The good news was drooling while sleeping, so naturally one could not hear it.

I didn’t know that she was dreaming of something happy. She waved her little hands twice and tried to put her little fat legs on her adoptive father’s body. However, her little fat legs were not long enough and fell down, causing her to frown.

Mr. Hou was so funny that he stretched out an arm to put her little fat legs up.

Sure enough, the little girl immediately became happy, her little mouth made a clicking sound, as if she had stolen something good...

Li Zhensheng was in a good mood after returning home, and Dr. Zhang's medical skills were also rare in the world. In just over half a month, most of his condition had recovered.

With nothing to do these days, he went to the school construction site.

Although he couldn't work, he felt happy just watching.

 When Ye Shan came to find him, he was pulling out weeds to make straw dogs for the children.

 This is a trick he used to play with his younger brothers when he was a child. Now he is still very skilled at coaxing his son and niece.

Hearing that Mr. Hou was looking for some new books for him, he hurried to Ye's house.

 Hashan quickly grabbed half a box of snacks and successfully left the little kids behind who wanted to follow.

The Marquis was sitting behind the table, writing furiously. When he saw him coming over, he said, "Brother, sit down. I'll be there soon."

Li Zhensheng found a chair and sat down, making tea by himself. As soon as he finished brewing, Mr. Hou also came over.

The two took a sip of tea, and the Marquis got straight to the point and said: "Brother, I have recently acquired two high-yielding grains. The yield far exceeds that of sorghum, millet and sweet potatoes. They are easy to grow, taste good, and are filling. If the planting is promoted, just Two years will be enough to support the army to fight back to Jiangbei and regain the lost territory. "

“Oh, is there such a good thing? That’s great. God bless us, Tianwu, and restoration of the country is just around the corner.” Li Zhensheng smiled.

He knew that the Marquis was determined to restore the country, and even had no intention of getting married and having children for this reason. He accepted Fu Niu in their family as his adopted daughter, so he entrusted the Marquis to his family.

 Everyone admires and feels distressed about this matter.

Now that Mr. Hou’s persistence is finally possible, everyone will be happy to hear it.

The Marquis waved his hands, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a low voice: "It is a great achievement to discover such a high yield of grain, but the eldest brother should know that I am a military prince, and with this contribution, not only is it not a happy event, but it is Disaster.

"So, I want the Li family to take over this credit. It's just that in this world, there is no glory and wealth for no reason. You have to work hard and endure dangers. I don't know, brother, do you dare to give it a try?"

Li Zhensheng stared in shock and subconsciously stood up. Two kinds of high-yielding grains that can help Tianwu restore the rivers and mountains. This is a real auspicious sign. If it is presented to the court, as the Marquis said, it will be a great contribution.

 Not only will military food and national strength be quickly replenished, but the people will also benefit from this and no longer worry about going hungry.

 At that time, there will definitely be a reward from the court, and the gratitude of the entire Tianwu people.

It can be said that if the Li family came forward to donate the food, as long as they did not rebel, no one in Tianwu would dare to bully the Li family from now on, otherwise it would be repaying kindness with enmity!

His heart felt like it was fried when he thought of how several slaves dared to bully my mother in the Hou Mansion yesterday.

If we seize this opportunity, the Li family will not have to wait for Jiaren to take the scientific examination, and there will be no need for him to find another way to protect the family...

He drank all the tea in one breath and asked in a low voice: "Do I have to bear the risk of this matter alone, or does the entire Li family have to bear it?"

"I made a simple plan. I just need you alone for the time being. Of course, that kid Jiayi is a bit aggressive, you can take him with you if you want."

Mr. Hou responded calmly, which made Li Zhenchang breathe a long sigh of relief.

 This is fine, he will bear the risk, and all the family members, including the young and old, can live a stable life.

With these thoughts in mind, he lifted up his gown and knelt down on the ground, "Master Marquis, on behalf of my whole family, I would like to thank you for your great kindness. With such a great contribution, the Li family can ensure wealth for three generations."

The Marquis quickly helped him up and said: "Brother, please get up. This credit should have been attributed to the Li family. I can't afford this word of thanks. Although I can't explain it clearly to my eldest brother now, one day I will understand." , I’m just doing a favor!”

Li Zhensheng was puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions.

The Marquis is absolutely trustworthy. Since he said so, just wait patiently.

 The two sat down again, and the Marquis took out the written plan and explained it clearly bit by bit.

"Brother, these two grains are called corn and potatoes. I plan to start planting them next spring, so we don't have much time left. The emperor has a caravan spread throughout Tianwu. They will inquire about information for the emperor on weekdays. At the same time He will also collect good things from all over the world for the emperor.

"One of them travels to Quanzhou on the southeast coast, and occasionally brings back some foreign gems and objects. I heard that some foreign monks traveled across the ocean and brought them with them. They are very novel and completely different from our Tianwu. I I will send my eldest brother to this caravan!”

Li Zhensheng understood and asked: "You mean, let me go to Quanzhou and pretend that the corn and potatoes were obtained from foreign monks?"

The Marquis nodded, "Not only that, I will have corn and potatoes sent over in advance, and then arrange a shipwreck caused by the hurricane, and a foreign monk who is seriously ill. When the time comes, you can stay with the monk for a few days. It is best to learn from Say a few foreign words, and then bring back the corn and potatoes on the ship, telling you about the high-yielding grains that the monks gave you in return for your kindness.

"I will take you into the palace again and dedicate it to the emperor. This credit will truly fall on the Li family and no one can take it away. Of course, the emperor will not give you a reward in the first year. You will have to see the results in autumn. Okay. But you no longer have to worry about your official position and the career of your children, and..."

He hesitated for a moment and then said: "And my suggestion is that it's best to help Fu Niu get a gold medal to avoid death. Of course, if you can't get it, don't be disappointed. When I regain half of the country, I can use my military skills to give it to Fu Niu. Change it!"

Li Zhensheng was stunned when he heard this, and his heart could no longer be described as shocked.

This shock was not only because of Mr. Hou’s meticulous plan, but also because Mr. Hou protected Fu Niu to the core.

 He actually wanted to get a gold medal for Fu Niu to avoid death!

Or, what danger will Fu Niu encounter that makes Mr. Hou feel that she needs a gold medal to avoid death? !
