I don't want to be king

Even coughing is no longer coughing, thank you.

Our father and I thought, the world is so big, it is not easy to make a living anywhere, let alone living away from the familiar place of Ankang City.

Since cats and dogs are the cause, just stay away.

My father is going to build a shack on the mountain and not live with the villagers, otherwise it will make the village not keep cats and dogs, and it will appear that he is ignorant.

Besides, there are so many sweet potatoes at home, and it's a pity to lose them after a busy season. "

"You just got back from sweet potatoes?"

Lin Yi looked at the boat full of sweet potato vines, and said with a smile, "Sweet potatoes are full of treasures, from the stems and leaves to the vines, there is no part that cannot be eaten."

Promoting the planting of sweet potatoes throughout Daliang State was the most correct thing he had done since his rebirth.

From ancient times to the present, food is the most important thing!

If the food is unstable, the economy will not develop, and the politics will not be stable!

When the time comes, the society will be in turmoil and the people will be in dire straits!

Sweet potatoes are good. Take root seedlings, water them, and they will be fully harvested in two or three months.

In a disaster year, eating this thing every day is unbearable, but it's better than starving to death, right?

As for the harvest year, if people don't want to eat, they can feed pigs and make wine.

In today's Ankang City, sweet potato wine is also the favorite of many poor people!

Just because it's cheap enough!

"Do you like sweet potatoes?"

Guan Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I'll give you some."

Lin Yi hurriedly refused, "Thank you, I don't want it."

These days coincided with a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, because the output was large and worthless, and the peasants could not take care of them. This made it easier for the beggars, who would just use a tree stick to paw in the field.

A beggar who often eats the last meal without the next meal can eat to his full.

Some ate too much and vomited on the street.

When Lin Yi passed by on his donkey in the morning, he almost died of nausea.

Especially when passing through the crowd occasionally, he felt uncomfortable even taking a breath.

So many people eat sweet potatoes, and the fart smell from so many people is really suffocating.

In the final analysis, it is because there are many poor people in Ankang City.

The poor always eat the cheapest food.

And the people in Hewangfu are all chasing fresh food, and they are eating every day these few days.

Lin Yi was very helpless, he couldn't order to ban eating sweet potatoes in the mansion, could he?

If such wrong instructions are passed on, there will be endless disasters in the future.

Therefore, he can't forbid others to eat, he can only try to make himself not eat.

If you eat too much, you will really think of the polluted air.

"Why, you lazy bastard still despise him?"

Guan Xiaoqi said dissatisfiedly, "It's not bad if you have enough to eat. Sweet potatoes are worthless, but you still need two copper coins to buy a bag in the city."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I know all of this. I know where your land is. When I want to eat, I will dig it myself."

"you dare!"

Guan Xiaoqi stared, and said angrily, "Stop raking my land.

You just tore off the leaves, but you can't peel the sweet potatoes clean. If you leave a few in the ground, they will rot in a few days. "

Lin Yi said helplessly, "Okay, then I won't dig it myself, I'll wait for you to dig it for me."

"That's about the same,"

After Guan Xiaoqi finished speaking, he hesitated and said, "My father said that he would like to thank you for saving his life. He will treat you to a drink tomorrow night. Are you free?"

"Bring me a drink?"

Lin Yi said in surprise.

"you are not willing?"

Guan Xiaoqi asked back.

"Of course I would,"

Lin Yi said carelessly, "I'm not a fool. If someone invites me to drink, there's no reason not to go. Tell your father, prepare good wine and good food, and I will be there on time tomorrow night."

When Guan Xiaoqi heard Lin Yi talk about good wine and good food, he said angrily, "You are really rude."

"I am polite to others, who is polite to me?"

"Humph."

Guan Xiaoqi turned his back, supported the bamboo pole, turned the bow of the boat, and slowly went away.

Lin Yi shook his head and smiled wryly.

In the evening, the dust was getting bigger and bigger, and Lin Yi's body was covered with sand in his mouth. He didn't want to continue fishing, so he hurried back to the house.

As a result, as soon as I got home, heavy rain came, washing the gray sky non-stop.

Lin Yi leaned back on the chair, looked at the heavy rain, patted the child in his arms rhythmically, and sang, "It's raining outside,

As if my blood is dripping,

I loved you so long,

Actually it's not easy,

We have to divide things..."

She sang and walked away, causing Mingyue beside her to laugh.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I haven't sung for many years, I can't remember what the score is like."

"My lord,"

Mingyue took the baby from Lin Yi's arms, handed it to the nurse next to her, and said, "Feed it every hour, don't forget it again."

The wet nurse hastened to answer.

Then Mingyue turned her head and said to Lin Yi, "My lord, I heard that you have a crush on a woman?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You guys are quite well informed."

Mingyue smiled and said, "It's their good fortune to be valued by the prince, but ah, prince, I have to let the servants say something more, I heard that you agreed to the banquet?

The sanitary condition in this village is worrying, even if the prince goes there, he'd better be careful.

The slave servant made the decision without authorization and asked the kitchen to prepare some braised meat and vegetables from the market in advance, and the prince can bring some when the time comes. "

Lin Yi said, "Bring it yourself?

This is a good idea, so bring your own. Don’t prepare too much fancy stuff, just some home-cooked food. "

Mingyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, servants are not so ignorant, there are not many things, a pot of old wine, a catty of pork head meat, a catty of large intestines, a catty of beef, a catty of peanuts, two pieces of tofu, nothing more than normal gone."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "That's good."

Mingyue continued, "Concubine Yuan Gui sent someone to bring over some velvet antler and ginseng, saying that they are for the concubine's health."

Lin Yi asked curiously, "Did you say anything else?"

Mingyue shook her head and said, "I haven't said anything else."

"Leave her alone, then,"

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Let her do whatever she wants."

He was delighted with the apple of his eye, according to the rules, even if his wife did not go out of the palace to have a look, she would still have to order someone to bring her daughter into the palace, right?

It is not scientific at all to look like nothing to do with oneself.

Chapter 432

While looking at Lin Yi's expression, Mingyue said cautiously, "My lord, I don't know if I should say something or not.

If I say so, I'm afraid that the prince will dislike the noisy slaves. "

Lin Yi turned his head and gave her a white look, and said, "You have been with me all these years, you should understand this king's temperament, the more verbose you are, the more annoying you are.

If you have something to say, hurry up, no matter what, I forgive you for your innocence, if you continue talking, you will just scold me. "

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness,"

Mingyue saw that there was only Zixia next to her, so she began to say boldly, "The ginseng and deer antlers that the concubine gave to the concubine were delivered by Xiao Xizi himself, so he had a heart and chatted a little more with the servants.

From what he said, Concubine Yuan Gui seemed interested in finding a consort for the princess. "

Lin Yi frowned and said, "Find a son-in-law for Ning'er?"

He suddenly thought that his own sister is not young anymore!

He has always been thinking about marriage according to the thinking of the modern world. Isn't it normal for a woman to get married at 27?

But I didn't think about it. In this world, if you don't get married, you are already an old girl!

"It is said that the empress does have this meaning, after all, the princess is not young anymore,"

Seeing Lin Yi's uneasy expression, Mingyue became more careful when speaking, "If you delay any longer, it will be bad."

Anyone who has been with Prince He for a long time knows that Princess Lin Ning of Huaiyang is the prince's opposite scale and weakness.

He and the prince have always been very careful in guarding Princess Huaiyang.

Today, anyone who offends Princess Huaiyang basically has no good end.

Lin Yi sighed, "Yeah, Lin Ning's age is indeed not young, it's time to get married, who can the empress choose?"

Mingyue hesitated for a moment and said, "If the news about Xiao Xizi is correct, it is probably Chen Kai who just won the number one prize."

"Chen Kai?"

After Lin Yi thought for a while, he suddenly realized, "It turned out to be him, and I personally read Qiu Wei's business papers, and I also ordered his number one scholar.

What he didn't expect was that he would be Chen Yan's son. "

Chen Yan of the Guozijian Jijiu used to be Lin Yi's lecturer, and Lin Yi knew him very well. How could such a "emphasis on agriculture" faction give birth to such a person who is only interested in money and advocates "no country?" The business is not prosperous, and the people are not rich without business" son?

Mingyue smiled and said, "Wang Ye means that this person is good?"

But Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Although Chen Desheng, He Jixiang and other elders agreed with me to increase the proportion of scores in business, mathematics, and physics in the scientific examination, there is one thing that they will not agree with, that is, the writing of this article is not good. Can't be the champion.

Therefore, for Chen Kai to be the number one scholar, it is one thing that he is good at business, and more importantly, his essays are good. Even He Jixiang is a person who is full of praise, of course he is good. "

"This Chen Kai's talent is indeed remarkable,"

Zixia next to her couldn't help interjecting, "I just don't know what kind of temperament it is, so don't wrong the princess."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Actually, I would like to find an old rich landlord for the princess, who will have a wealth of money and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life."

Mingyue was stunned and then said, "My lord, I remember you said that since ancient times, a beautiful woman matches a talented man, but no landlord. If a beautiful woman matches the landlord's wealth, everything will be ruined."

Lin Yi picked up the teacup again, and said with rare patience, "I'm talking about writing novels. Everyone's favorite protagonist should be handsome men and beautiful women, talented men and beautiful women. No matter how bad you are, you must have a domineering president. You are a landlord and rich man. Who likes to watch it?

This kind of book must hit the street and have no market.

In novels, there is nothing wrong with love and love.

However, living in reality is different. Poetry and poetry cannot be eaten as a meal. To return to reality, daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, everything needs money, and as long as you have money, you can solve most of the problems in life.

Landlords and wealthy families have great careers and a good life, so they are naturally the best candidates for choosing a son-in-law. "

Mingyue was puzzled and said, "My lord, as a national prison supervisor, although his salary is meager, he has lived in Yuzhou for generations, and there is no shortage of money in Yuzhou's fertile farmland."

Since he was looking for someone rich, the Chen family must agree.

More importantly, this Chen Kai family of officials and eunuchs has a profound family background, which is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"Hey, you guys still don't understand what this king is thinking. This king doesn't want Lin Ning to find an official,"
