Mixed in Datang to be a son-in-law

The back garden of the Zhou Mansion was huge, but it was a mess, and no one seemed to take care of it.

Zhou Jinyan quickly selected a piece of land and prepared to plant potatoes in it.

This is the back garden. No one has taken care of it for a long time, and the flowers and plants are all withered in it. Needless to say, the soil nutrition of the land.

Zhou Jinyan went to the kitchen to find a knife, cut the potatoes lengthwise into pieces, and put them aside.

"Lang Jun, here comes the hoe."

Zhou Jinyan sat on the ground without raising his head, "Give me this piece of land to loosen the soil."

Haizao looked at the marked land, and looked back at the hoe in his hand.

With firm eyes, he said, "Okay!"

The seaweed waved its hoe, loosening the soil and hoeing the ground.

Zhou Jinyan continued cutting potatoes.

Planting potatoes is very simple. Zhou Jinyan's family was in the countryside in his previous life, and he planted them himself.

Therefore, he has mastered the technology of planting potatoes with great proficiency.

He planned to plant forty potatoes at a time, and Zhou Jinyan planned to keep the remaining dozen or so potatoes for himself.

Famines were prone to occur in ancient times. With these things, you are guaranteed not to starve to death.

It's just that Zhou Jinyan is still hesitant about whether to dedicate it to Li Tang for the time being.

Good things must be used wisely, and dedicated to Li Tang in a daze, at most he will get some praise or some rewards.

For Zhou Jinyan, who was gradually turning into a profiteer, it was not worth it.

It is estimated that in Li Shimin's eyes, when the potatoes have not played their fullest role, they are just some fruits and vegetables imported from the Western Regions.

There is no way to compare the function with pinyin, or even printing.

"Not for the time being."

Zhou Jinyan intends to maximize the use of potatoes.

He was not a good man, and offering potatoes would do him little good.

Since there is no benefit, he does not want to give it.

Datang is now in a prosperous age, and the price of grain has fallen to the lowest level in history, and he doesn't need his potatoes to help.

It will be another effect to wait until it is really needed and then donate.

"Lang Jun, are you going to grow food?"

Seaweed has been busy working for a long time, and he is almost dead from exhaustion.

The mud stained her clean windbreaker.

"Probably." Seeing her sweating profusely, Zhou Jinyan said, "After a while, I'll go find a few girls and come back. When the time comes, I'll send someone to guard here. Weeding and watering all need someone to do it."

Haizao straightened up when he heard the words, "Lang Jun, let me do it alone, I can do it."

"That's not okay. You have to manage the store. You can't keep your energy on it."

Seaweed stuck out her tongue, threw the hoe aside, walked over, squatted down, "Lang Jun, what is this, it looks so strange."

"This is called a potato, another name is a potato, you can call it a potato." Zhou Jinyan said with a smile.

"Potato?" Seaweed squinted his eyes and smiled, "What a cute name."

Zhou Jinyan laughed loudly, "When I become famous in the future, I will write an autobiography, and my pen name will be Tiancan Tudou. Do you think this name is cute?"

"Not good." Seaweed thought for a while, "Tian Can Potato, Potato was struck by lightning? If you want to write, it sounds nice to call Potato."

Zhou Jinyan smiled and said nothing, continuing to cut potatoes.

Chapter 73

There is a lot of land, Zhou Jinyan greeted: "Go and call Ah Da and the other five people to hoe this land."

"Oh."

Seaweed got up and trotted away.

Zhou Jinyan looked at her back for a while, then retracted his gaze, and murmured: "It's better to be in ancient times. Such a little girl was an ancestor in my time. How could she be so diligent."

After spending most of the day, Zhou Jinyan and Haizao worked together to pick and plant all forty potatoes.

It was getting late at this time, Zhou Jinyan clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Just wait for the good harvest."

"What's the use of these potatoes?"

"It can be eaten," Zhou Jinyan thought for a while and added, "It can be eaten as a meal."

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious anytime you're hungry," Zhou Jinyan said with a smile, "Although we won't starve to death, for some people, being able to eat potatoes is much better than eating other things."

Seaweed was confused, but he also knew that potatoes were a good thing.

Early the next morning, Zhou Jinyan cleaned up and was about to leave when he heard Uncle Fu say outside: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness sent someone here again."

"what?"

Zhou Jinyan walked out, "What are you sending someone for?"

"I don't know, I just said that I will come to visit this afternoon."

"I see."

Zhou Jinyan nodded.

Uncle Fu hesitated and said: "Mr. Lang, the Crown Prince came down yesterday, did nothing serious happen?"

"What could happen?"

Uncle Fu looked at him cautiously, "I heard from Haizao that you offended His Highness the Crown Prince because of her."

"Don't listen to her nonsense, this girl likes to put gold on her face. Just get used to it."

"Is your husband ready to go out?"

"Yeah." Zhou Jinyan thought for a while, "Go get those movable type printing back. This thing can't be spread outside."

Fu Bo was a little reluctant for him to ask for it, but he knew his little master, so he could only tell him: "Bring Ah Da and the others, just in case."

"I see."

Leaving nine guards to guard the gate, Zhou Jinyan took Ah Da to Duke Cai's mansion.

His home is not far from Cai Guogong's mansion, but Zhou Jinyan was a little impatient with walking around every day.

I thought about what modern tools could be made that could be used as a means of transportation.

When he arrived at the gate of Cai Guogong's mansion, he didn't think of any good way.

"Big Brother Zhou!"

After waiting for a long time, Du Yanran cheered when she saw Zhou Jinyan, and hurried out from the steps of the gate.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought you weren't coming."

"How could it be?" Zhou Jinyan said with a smile: "Let's go, let's get back the movable type printing."

Du Yanran nodded her head, tilted her head and asked, "Just the three of us going?"

Zhou Jinyan was really afraid of any accident, thought for a while, and whispered: "You go back and call some guards with strong martial arts?"

"Okay, wait for me."

Without saying a word, Du Yanran turned around and ran in.

Zhou Jinyan bluntly sighed, the same is the second generation of officials, why is there such a big gap?

Du Yanran came out with more than a dozen guards, staring at Zhou Jinyan in a daze.

"Well, Yan Ran, two or three are enough, it's a bit too much, others will think we're going to fight."

Du Yanran stuck out her tongue, "Okay."

The two took five guards and headed all the way to the eldest grandson's house.

On the way, Du Yanran asked nervously, "Is this going to the eldest grandson's house?"

"He took out my movable type printing tools in the main hall, and if he doesn't go to him, he can find someone."

Zhou Jinyan said with a smile: "We just went to collect debts."

Du Yanran only felt her heart pounding, a little excited, and a little scared.

The two arrived in front of the Duke of Qi's mansion soon.

"Stop," the guard at the door hurriedly stopped when he saw that the two people who came were not friendly.

"I'm Zhou Jinyan, ask Chang Sun Chong to return my things to me."

"What do you give back?" the guard asked with an unkind expression.

"Quickly inform me," Zhou Jinyan glanced at him, "If you shouldn't ask, don't ask."

The guard hesitated for a moment, then turned to talk to a person, and then the person walked inside.

"You guys are waiting, someone has already reported it."

Inside the Changsun Mansion.

"Lang Jun, a man named Zhou Jinyan came to ask you for something outside."

Chang Sun Chong was lying in the rocking chair, shaking, jumped up instantly when he heard the words, gritted his teeth and said: "This kid still dares to come to me?"

The guard looked at him strangely.

"Go, call all the guards in the mansion, I will definitely beat him this time so that he can't see his grandpa!"

Changsun Chong rushed out aggressively with dozens of guards.

He saw Zhou Jinyan standing in front of everyone at a glance.

"Zhou Jinyan, you are so courageous, you dare to come to my eldest grandson's mansion to act wildly."

The eldest grandson rushed to the front and asked with a sullen face.

"Sun Shaoqing, calm down," Zhou Jinyan said with a smile, "I'm just here to get back what belongs to me."

"what?"

"Something you stole."

The eyes of all the servants turned to Chang Sun Chong in an instant.

"What are you looking at?" Chang Sun Chong's face was blood red, and he gave the servant a hard look, "I didn't steal it, I borrowed it."

"Okay, okay, borrow it," Zhou Jinyan said impatiently, "Hurry up and return it to me."

"No, I threw it all away."

Movable type printing is indeed a good thing. Even if the eldest grandson is upset, he has to admit that this thing is very useful.

"It's gone?" Zhou Jinyan said with a cold face: "If you don't have it, you have to accompany it. One is [-] guan. You can figure it out."

"Ten thousand guan?" Chang Sun Chong was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly, "Why don't you go grab it?"

"I even sold a pack of hot strips for a hundred guan. The movable type printing is such a good thing. Is it because of your face that I will only charge [-] guan?"

Zhou Jinyan said lazily, "Either give me back my things, or give me money."

"You," Changsun Chong said grimly, "So, you don't intend to let it go?"

Du Yanran said softly: "It's only natural to pay off debts, are you paying back the debt, or are you planning to go to jail?"

Changsun Chong glanced at Du Yanran, his greedy eyes flashed away, and snorted, "Why do women interrupt when men talk?"

"I'll say it."

After finishing speaking, Du Yanran hid behind Zhou Jinyan, showing a small head, "Chang Sun Chong, if you don't return the things to us, you will be taken to the government today."
