Chapter 175 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (29)
Although he was being threatened, Xin Zhuyou felt relieved.
Fortunately, there are not many people that the king can absolutely trust.
As a person of humble origin, destined to have no chance of becoming king, yet with some abilities, he was the most suitable person to do many things for him.
When Xin Zhuyin used him in the past, Xin Zhuyin felt less frustrated. He could also do something for the people of Lai State. He was not a useless person.
But at this moment, Xin Zhuyou felt extremely fortunate, fortunate that he could do something for the moon that was out of reach.
"I will definitely get things done."
Xin Zhuyou's movements were quicker than the last time he found a yard for Shui Zhizi.
Xin Zhuyou wrote the document, arranged for people to study with Shui Zhizi, contacted the businessman Wang Ju, and found a place to build a house and grow fruits and vegetables within one day.
Because the king is about to attack Beiying, Xin Zhuyou will go with him, so he has to arrange everything before leaving.
Although Shui Zhizi said that Xin Zhuyou didn't need to come again when delivering the receipt, he still went there in person.
This time when they arrived at Shui Zhizi's house, Shui Zhizi personally took him to another courtyard.
Xin Zhuyou finally understood why Shui Zhizi proposed to do business.
It turned out that in addition to the leek that he saw yesterday, Gardenia and the others had also cultivated other fruits and vegetables, and even flowers.
"These are cucumber leaves," Xin Zhuyou was very surprised.
Compared to leeks which he had never seen before, cucumbers are something that most people know and love to eat.
Shui Gardenia was a little surprised that Xin Zhuyou could recognize cucumber leaves.
She herself only got to know about famous varieties of fruits and vegetables after living in a temple in her previous life.
However, thinking of Xin Zhuyou's life experience and Xin Zhuyin's attitude towards Xin Zhuyou, Shui Zhizi could also understand.
“But its growth cycle is relatively slow, and it will take some time before it bears fruit.
If you plant them now, it will take three months for them to bear fruit, and by then you may not be able to sell them at a good price."
When the weather gets warmer, the people of Lai can grow their own fruits and vegetables.
"They can be sold at a high price. The cucumbers grown by the people of Lai Country themselves have not yet reached the time to bear fruit."
The low temperature in Laiguo lasts longer, so fruits and vegetables are planted later than in Dongmeng.
“That’s fine. Actually, it doesn’t matter if you can’t sell it at a good price. It’s a little late for everything this year.
Next year, when the weather starts to get cold, you can have people start planting, and you can sell them for a longer period of time.”
"Yeah." Next year, Xin Zhuyou suddenly looked forward to next year.
“There are a few more things. They should be vegetables that you have never seen in Lai Country. I will provide you with seeds this year.
But next year you will need to save the seeds yourself, and my people will tell you how to save good seeds then."
"queen."
"What is the problem?"
"Thank you, Queen." Xin Zhuyou's eyes flickered.
Gratitude, relief, joy and other emotions intertwined together made Xin Zhuyou not know how to express them.
But Shui Zhizi kept walking in front without looking back.
"There's nothing to thank me for. I just want to live more comfortably here."
If she cannot provide some value to Lai State, and only relies on Dong Meng's reputation, the people of Lai State will not really take her seriously.
The people of Lai now only care about Dong Meng.
“I see you’ve brought a lot of people with you, so let’s learn everything at once.
Later, I will send two or three masters to help you with these matters."
Xin Zhuyou just followed Shui Zhizi quietly and listened to her instructions.
What Shui Zhizi brought to Lai State was more than he had expected. He would only listen to Shui Zhizi's instructions more in the future.
He originally thought that the only vegetable he could sell was leek, so he thought about bringing some people to learn how to grow it. He could plant more of it on the farms.
Otherwise they wouldn't make much money, but now it seems that they have a lot of vegetables that can make money, so they divide into several groups to learn different ones.
The business progressed steadily.
Half a month later, Xin Zhuyou came to the mansion again, but this time he brought a stranger with him.
“Your Majesty, this is Wang Ju. He will be in charge of the business from now on. You can also look for him if you encounter any problems in the future.
He will do his best to help you solve it.”
"Got to go?"
"Yes, the king has ordered us to set out tomorrow."
"Don't you need me to come out and give a farewell party to the soldiers?"
Shui Zhizi thought that Xin Zhuyin would ask her to see off the army before it set off.
Xin Zhuyou lowered his head so that Shui Zhizi couldn't see his expression.
He also thought that it would be better if the queen came forward to implement it. At least if Beiying got the news, they would think that Dongmeng supported Lai in fighting this war.
The momentum of Lai State will be stronger.
But the king still remembered the unpleasantness that happened between him and the queen when she left the palace, and was unwilling to ask the queen to intervene.
Originally, Xin Zhuyou wanted to continue to persuade the king. But thinking of the woman that the king always took with him on his expedition, Xin Zhuyou stopped forcing him.
Even though he could see that the queen wouldn't care about it.
"The Queen is busy with business matters, so I won't bother her."
"Then I wish you a triumphant return."
Since she doesn't need to show up, Shui Zhizi won't cause trouble.
The battle lasted for more than half a year and was won, with the State of Lai capturing two cities in Beiying.
Of course, he also paid a heavy price, with most of his troops being killed.
So although the two countries did not have peace talks, it was Lai State that took the initiative to cease fire and prepare to rest for a period of time.
Coincidentally, the time when Xin Zhuyin brought everyone back to the capital was exactly the time when Shui Zhizi and the delegation set foot on the territory of Lai State last year.
That is to say, it has been a year since Shui Zhizi arrived in Lai State.
This year, Shui Zhizi and the Dong Meng people she led have planted vegetables and fruits all over their house.
When the weather in Lai State became warmer, Water Gardenia finally saw the whole garden full of green.
The fruit and vegetable business with Laiguo has been put on the right track under the management of Wang Ju.
Especially this year, they planted fruits and vegetables when it started to get cold in Lai State, so many princes and nobles of Lai State have already placed orders for fruits and vegetables.
Wang Ju opened up the trading channel with Yan Guo, and the place Xin Zhuyou initially found to grow fruits and vegetables was not even big enough.
Shui Zhizi discovered that although most people in Lai State lived in poverty, there were still many rich people in Lai State.
There is nothing they can’t sell that they grow.
In addition to the fruit and vegetable business, the people at Water Gardenia have developed a batch of seeds with slightly higher yields and better cold resistance, and are just waiting for the right time to plant them on a large scale.
However, this matter requires Xin Zhuyin's consent. It concerns everyone's food, so of course he cannot make a decision at will.
In addition, Shui Zhizi took Yingfu and disguised themselves as ordinary people and toured the capital of Lai State.
I also saw the same grassland that Xin Zhuyou described as Dong Meng.
It is said that Shui Zhizi put so much effort into learning how to ride a horse, but after arriving in Lai State, she had never ridden one.
