Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

The moment she saw King Rui's face clearly, Cheng Wan blinked in surprise.

Prince Rui was younger than Cheng Wan expected, and he looked very similar to Mu Yao. He looked like father and son.

It's just that the current power of King Rui is much stronger than that of Mu Yao.

The moment Cheng Wan and Prince Rui looked at each other, her eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and she felt as if she was being targeted by some wild beast.

Really face to face with Prince Rui, in the same space, feeling the oppressive feeling that makes people unable to help but show fear, Cheng Wan seemed to suddenly understand what Gu Yan said before, "All the princes of the late emperor lived in Prince Rui's house." What does "under the shadow" mean?

Cheng Wan blinked twice and suddenly felt calm.

She intuitively felt that with this person in power, whatever she planned could be accomplished.

Prince Rui looked at Cheng Wan, who became more calm and magnanimous after looking at him, with a little more interest in his unfathomable eyes. He changed his position and said in a calm voice, "Your name is Cheng Wan?"

"Yes, the civilian girl's name is Cheng Wan."

"I remember that you presented a drawing of Quyuanli before."

"Yes, the prince also rewarded the girl with a silver note worth ten thousand taels and a building on Zhong Street."

Prince Rui nodded slowly, "I heard that that building is now called Suiyi Building. The snack business and hot pot business inside are very good. You are quite smart."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. It is an honor for Suiran Building that the snacks and hotpots in Sui Sui Lou are known to the Prince."

Prince Rui looked at Cheng Wan's smiling face like the scorching sun, his eyes deepened, and he chuckled, "Why do you want to see me today?"

Cheng Wan took off the bundle on his body and placed it on the coffee table on the side. Then he opened the bundle and took out a chubby sweet potato with the length of an adult male's hand.

Facing the unclear eyes of the people in the hall, Cheng Wan took a deep breath and said clearly: "This thing is called sweet potato. It can fill the stomach. The yield per mu can reach three to four thousand kilograms, or even more!"

Prince Rui lost his composure as he had everything under control just now. His expression suddenly straightened, he stood up from his seat and walked to Cheng Wan in two steps.

Mu Yao and Gu Yan also walked over quickly in shock.

Prince Rui took the sweet potato that Cheng Wan handed over and looked at it over and over. Then he raised his head and squinted at Cheng Wan. His restrained power was suddenly released, "Cheng Wan, do you know what will happen if you deceive me?"

In fact, Prince Rui knew in his heart that since Cheng Wan asked Gu Yan to bring her here, the sweet potato story was most likely true.

Most people don't dare to make a fuss about this kind of thing unless they are tired of living.

"Your Majesty, 126 sweet potato seedlings were cultivated from forty sweet potatoes, and 122 of them survived. The girl dug a small sweet potato ridge. After weighing, each sweet potato seedling can grow from one to three kilograms. Sweet potatoes, that is to say, these 122 sweet potato seedlings can grow about 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes."

"The folk girl has calculated that about 3500 sweet potato seedlings can be planted in one acre of land, and the sweet potato yield per acre can easily reach three to four thousand kilograms."

Cheng Wan explained the relevant data clearly, and King Rui and others' eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Miss Cheng, you said before that you would show me a big baby in December. Does the big baby mean sweet potatoes?"

Cheng Wan nodded towards Gu Yan and said with a smile: "How is it? Is this a big treasure?"

"Of course!" Gu Yan carefully held a sweet potato with a charming smile on his face.

At this time, Mu Yao no longer had a straight face, and his face showed a rare expression of obvious happiness and excitement, "Father, with these sweet potatoes, more people can have enough to eat! "

Prince Rui touched the sweet potato in his hand and looked at Cheng Wan, "How do you want to eat this sweet potato?"

"The girl thought that these two hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes must be saved for seed, so she only used two sweet potatoes for the test. Eat them raw, roast them, steam them, cut them into pieces and make porridge... you can do it. Your Majesty Please order someone to cook these sweet potatoes and taste them."

Prince Rui shook his head, "It's such a waste to eat such a treasure. Chang Fu, take two sweet potatoes to the back kitchen and wash them and cook them yourself."

Chang Fu carefully took two sweet potatoes and walked out of the hall.

Prince Rui sat back on the throne in a great mood, "I forgot to ask, where did you get these sweet potatoes?"

Cheng Wan's eyes flashed slightly, and she replied with the manuscript she had prepared: "Back to the prince, the girl bought the sweet potatoes from a traveling merchant. When he told the girl that sweet potatoes can yield three to four thousand kilograms per mu, the girl bought them. I didn’t believe it, so I thought I might as well try it by planting it. If what the traveling merchant said was true, just like what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, more people would be able to have enough to eat. When the sweet potatoes are ripe, people will The girl’s family was also very surprised, it just felt like a dream.”

"Traveling merchant?" King Rui frowned slightly.

Cheng Wan's expression remained unchanged, "Yes, the traveling merchant didn't know where he came from, and he didn't let the girl ask any more questions. He just said that he came here accidentally, and it was fate that he met me, so he sold things from his hometown. Gave it to me."

"Father, that traveling merchant may be an expert from outside the world. He couldn't bear to see the people starve, so he used his identity as a traveling merchant to offer sweet potatoes as a sacred object. Father!" Mu Yao suddenly became excited, " That expert chose to sacrifice sweet potatoes in Liangzhou, did he, did he also think that the father should be the one!"

Mu Yao suddenly realized that there was Cheng Wan in the hall, and quickly cut off the next words.

Cheng Wan glanced at Mu Yao and couldn't help but shout in her heart: "Good guy! The reason you added is better than what I made up myself! Very good! If there are any good things in the future, I will push them to the 'expert' On the body. That's right! The 'Exalt' has taken a fancy to your father, and your father should be the owner of that dragon chair!"

Prince Rui rubbed the ring on his right thumb and looked at Cheng Wan with a serious look, "Cheng Wan, I will send someone back with you to bring back all the other sweet potatoes. Do you have any objections?"

"No!" Cheng Wan looked directly into Prince Rui's eyes, with a firm and sincere face, "Your Majesty, you should know that our family came to Liangzhou as a refugee. The reason why we chose to come to Liangzhou in the first place was because we heard about it. You are a good prince who cares about the people and is talented and strategic. Facts have proved that under your governance, Liangzhou has become more prosperous than we imagined!"

"Your Majesty, before today, I only heard people say how powerful you are, but after meeting you today, I feel that your power is unparalleled in the world! I brought sweet potatoes here today because I wanted to dedicate them to you. I only hope that Liangzhou will get better and better under your wise leadership!"

King Rui turned his finger and looked at Cheng Wan's extremely sincere expression. Listening to Cheng Wan's praise of him, the smile in his eyes became more obvious.

He had to admit that the little girl in front of him pleased him in every aspect.

Mu Yao rubbed his arms. He felt goosebumps. He often encountered people flattering him and his father, but he had never seen such flattering being so straightforward and exaggerated.

Gu Yan, on the other hand, looked at Cheng Wan speaking seriously and praising people without blinking his eyes. This was the first time he saw Cheng Wan like this, and he felt extremely happy and fond of her.

Cheng Wan finally finished her compliments. She didn't feel embarrassed at all. She wished that her vocabulary of praise could be enriched so that she could better express her loyalty to Prince Rui.

"Come here, give Miss Cheng some tea."

"Cheng Wan, it's a great achievement for you to present the sweet potatoes, but what reward do you want?"

Cheng Wan put the tea cup away and looked at Prince Rui calmly. Her voice was firm and clear, "Your Majesty, I want to enter the officialdom and be an official!"
