Wushuang came out of the courtyard, still soft-hearted after all, couldn't help but ask You Jiuba beside him: "Was what I just said too harsh? After all, they are all a group of women."

You Jiuba glanced at him: "It's not serious, what you said is the truth."

Wushuang sighed softly: "That's right, since it's a warning, it's natural to remember the key points."

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Uncle Feng running towards him all the way, Wushuang was quite frightened.

"Feng, Uncle Feng, please slow down, slow down."

Wushuang walked towards Uncle Feng, and supported him: "Uncle Feng, how old are you, why are you still..."

Before finishing speaking, Uncle Feng glared at him: "How old are you? Your Highness, I'm still young. It's okay to share His Highness's worries for 20 years."

Uncle Feng used to lament that he was too old and physically weak to help Wushuang too much, but since Xiangkang stepped down, Uncle Feng has become different and has become more and more disobedient to his age. Occasionally Wushuang is considerate of his age Big, he is not willing to arrange less things for him.

In fact, Wushuang understands that Feng Bo had no ambitions when he was young, but now that Baicheng is thriving, he wants to make up for the regrets of his youth, even if the oil is exhausted, he will be happy.

At this moment, Wushuang hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I said something wrong. Uncle Feng, your prime minister can pull a boat, so don't be as knowledgeable as me."

"Your Highness!" Uncle Feng said with a serious face, "You are an unceremonious marquis, the city lord of Baicheng, how can you just apologize to me, a servant? Isn't this trying to ruin me?"

OK!You are old, what you say is what.

You Jiuba began: "What did you want to tell His Highness just now?"

Uncle Feng suddenly said, "Oh yes, Your Highness, it's a great event, Your Highness, our waterwheel is finished, it's done!"

Wushuang was pleasantly surprised: "It's really done? That's great!"

Uncle Feng couldn't help nodding: "Yes, yes, it's all thanks to those monster races, especially the girl named Ya, who is not only good at craftsmanship, but also smart. Ding Wei is now clamoring to be a teacher, but how can he be a teacher?" The girl was quite frightened."

Wushuang said helplessly, "Ding Wei's illness just happened, why did he fall ill again?"

Uncle Feng chuckled: "He is very humble now. He used to think that no one is as good as him, but now everyone wants to be a teacher. If his father didn't stop him, he would have already kowtowed to Miss Ya."

Wushuang was surprised: "So exaggerated?"

"That's not it!" Feng Bo sighed, "No matter what, the matter of the water tanker has finally been resolved, and the time just happened to catch up. Your Highness, you don't have to worry about it!"

Summer is approaching and the icebergs are melting, which is the time when the water source is abundant. Now that there is a waterwheel, Wushuang can introduce water into the fields and finely salt the fields after deep plowing. Maybe they can catch up with a wave of autumn harvest before the cold winter comes. unknown.

Wushuang sighed: "Now we are waiting for the news from Xi. When he buys the seeds back, let everyone plant the seeds immediately."

Feng Bo: "Yes!"

Xi went to Qingzhou this time to buy bean seeds. Not only that, Wushuang also asked him to help him find out if anyone grows rice.

Although Jincheng is not the capital of Qingzhou, it is favored by businessmen because it is close to Youzhou and Yizhou and has convenient transportation.

Every time Xi buys grain, he mainly buys it from Jincheng. When he comes here, there is a lot of grain, and he compares it with other companies. If he buys the grain at the lowest price, he can get [-]% of the profit, which is a bit less. After all, Xiangkang The method somewhat makes Xi a little apprehensive, not to mention that his main gray income is not these grains, but those moldy beans for servants and prisoners. Therefore, the rebate money is also enough to be extravagant.

But now that I'm with Wushuang, Wushuang will tell me before leaving that I don't want moldy beans or moth beans. The beans I buy must be plump and round, and wheat, besides beans, I also want wheat.

"I really don't understand our Highness. You say that he pays for the people by himself, and doesn't allow moldy beans to be eaten. He must eat good beans. Is he panicking because he has too much money? Is the money hot or something? With him like this, Xiangkang is leaving a mountain of gold and silver, which is not enough for him to squander!"

Xi drank two glasses of wine, grabbed B and couldn't help spit out a few drunken words.

"I still want that wheat. What do you think he buys wheat for? Is that wheat eaten by humans? If you swallow it, you will choke your throat. It is food for chickens. Do we have so many chickens in Baicheng? Why do we need so much wheat?" ?”

People at that time didn't know that after the outer husk of wheat was peeled off and ground into flour, they could be used to steam steamed buns and roll out noodles. They only knew that when the wheat was swallowed, the hard husk could scratch people's throats, and The taste is also really bad. Usually only people who raise chickens at home will grow wheat to feed chickens. After all, it is still very good to feed chickens. Chickens love to eat, and they grow fat.

Xiangkang only eats corn, meat, delicacies from mountains and seas, and even beans he dislikes, let alone any kind of wheat. Although wheat is slightly more expensive than beans, it is because there are far fewer people who grow wheat than beans. There is a lot of wheat, but the price may not be comparable to that of beans.

So Xi didn't understand why Wushuang asked him to buy wheat, and he said that he could buy as much as he could, but corn, a food that nobles loved, didn't ask for much.

"He just likes to eat wheat, doesn't he?" Xi rolled his eyes, "Could it be that the aristocrats in Wangcheng have such unique tastes? Are you tired of eating delicious delicacies and want to try something new?"

You Gan smiled: "This...slave doesn't understand either."

Xi gave him a blank look: "I don't even understand, what can you understand?"

You nodded and nodded: "Yes, yes, what you said is right, master."

Xi is now the leader of their caravan, and everyone is under his control, and he is called Master outside. Xi obviously likes this title, and his chin and head are raised a bit when he is called so.

"But it's not your fault, after all, you are not as good as me, otherwise I wouldn't be a master, but you would still be a servant."

You sycophant said: "The slave will always be your most loyal servant!"

Xi laughed a few times, and took a few more sips from the wine glass. As he became more drunk, he couldn't help but want to let out a few bad breaths.

"That woman named Si Niang, a woman, is really lenient. I already knew that His Highness sent her to follow me, just to keep me in check. How much money and how did you use it every day, that lady? , she wrote down the accounts one by one. My mother wanted to drink more tea, but she couldn't do it. She insisted on opening the bags of seeds bought a few days ago. So I want to pick one or two bags, but it won’t work at one time, you say, so many bags, what can I do with some defective products? Let’s just give His Highness the best, those foolish people, what do they know? "

You thought for a while: "That Si Niang is indeed difficult to deal with, but she is a country girl who has never seen the world, why not... you try to bribe her? Pull her into the gang?"

Xi Yi patted the table: "Do you think I haven't tried it? But she just doesn't like oil and salt! What do you want me to do?"

Xi narrowed his eyes, lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you do nothing... find a chance and give her..."

"Master! This is absolutely impossible!" You panicked, "This is the first time you have done something for His Royal Highness, if someone is killed, even if His Highness does not blame you at the time, I am afraid that he will lose trust in you, and you will lose trust in the future. It may not be so easy to follow His Highness to do things."

Xi gritted his teeth: "I know! If it weren't for that, how could I bear her so far?"

You still didn't feel at ease, and said in a low voice: "Master, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about firewood. You also said that His Highness asked Si Niang to follow you, but he was still worried about you and still had suspicions about you, so now The most important thing is that you have to gain His Highness's trust first, and it won't be too late for us to deal with her slowly in the future!"

"That's right, I have to bear it, and I will find a chance to deal with her in the future!" Xi took a sip of wine, "Yu. You continue to keep an eye on her for me. Last time, thanks to your tip-off, it was a shoddy thing. She didn't notice, you do things for me well, I will never treat you badly in the future, understand?"

You flattered her with a smile: "Master, don't worry, this servant will take good care of her for you."

Xi drank too much, You helped him to lie down, saw that his snoring sounded like thunder, he left the room and went to Si Niang.

Si Niang had just finished reading the ledger, and not long after she lay down, she heard a knock on the door.

Si Niang got up and quickly put on the clothes beside the bed: "Who?"

"It's me." You replied in a low voice outside the door.

After Si Niang got dressed, she got out of bed and opened the door for You to come in.

Si Niang poured You a cup of tea: "Why are you here so late? What's the matter?"

You took a sip to clear the alcohol in his mouth, and said to Si Niang, "I'm sorry, Si Niang."

Si Niang was taken aback for a moment: "That's fine, what are you apologizing to me for?"

Youdao: "Last time I bought bean seeds as good ones, in order to gain his trust, I told you about it, and asked you to expose him, so that he, who was already dissatisfied with you, was angry with you." With a bit of killing intent, I... I'm afraid that he will harm you, it's me, it's me who put you in danger."

But Si Niang smiled: "How can I blame you? To help you gain his trust is what I should do. Don't worry, there is Your Highness, what will happen to me if he doesn't do anything."

You was still not at ease and said: "In short, you should avoid being alone with him in the future, and now that I have gained his trust, before returning to Baicheng, you should try to avoid conflicts with him as much as possible. If he dares to do anything again, wait until he returns." After leaving Baicheng, His Highness will naturally deal with him."

Si Niang said firmly: "Your Highness asked me to take care of the money, so naturally I can't let Mr. Xi use public service for personal gain. If something like this happens again next time, I will come out and stop it."

"But you will be in danger!" You gritted his teeth, "I, I don't want to see you in an accident."

Si Niang was startled, and looked at You, but saw You's face gradually turned red under her gaze.
