You also found that his face was on fire, coughed dryly, and said hastily: "In short...be careful yourself, especially at night, you must lock the door before going to sleep, then...then I won't disturb your rest, you sleep early."

"Wait," Si Niang called people to stop, looked at You and pursed her lower lip, and said softly, "How are you doing with what His Highness told you?"

Hearing this sentence, the red tide on You's face dissipated in an instant, and he said with a wry smile: "Although I have met many businessmen with Xi recently, and I have also secretly recorded their residences, but every time I want to visit, I am blocked. Outside the door, now it's hard for me to even see them, how can I have a chance to talk to them."

Si Niang was startled: "Why don't they want to see you?"

"I'm just a servant by Xi's side. It's normal for those businessmen to look down on me. Don't worry too much." Seeing that Si Niang frowned, she was upset, but she still calmed down, "I'll think about it again." Find a way, if it doesn’t work, I’ll go to their door and stalk them.”

"But in this way you will be exposed," Si Niang said, "Xi will not let you go then."

You Gangan smiled and fell silent. Indeed, he also knew that this way would not work, but besides this, he couldn't think of any other way.

Si Niang suddenly remembered the burden that Wushuang gave her when she was leaving. Wushuang said at that time, "You will be useful," but now Si Niang suddenly realized that "you" refers to You?

"wait for me a while."

Si Niang got up and went to find the baggage that Wu Shuang had given him in her bag. She went to the table and opened it, and found that besides some broken silver coins, there was also a bag of pearls. Pearls at that time were precious things. To Si Niang and You, it was really a huge sum of money, especially Si Niang, the daughter's family all liked this kind of jewelry, seeing that the pearls were round and bright, each one was worth a lot of money. It was about the size of a fingernail, and my eyes straightened immediately.

"It's...so beautiful!" Si Niang exclaimed.

You glanced at Si Niang, pursed her lower lip and said, "What does His Highness mean by giving these pearls?"

Si Niang shook her head: "I don't know, that's right! Your Highness said something at that time."

You: "What did you say?"

Si Niang: "Having money can make ghosts turn millstones?"

After hearing this, You was silent for a moment and said, "I understand, Si Niang, if you believe me, can you give me these pearls?"

After a moment of hesitation, Si Niang handed the pearl to You: "Here!"

You didn't expect Si Niang to be so decisive, she froze for a moment and said, "You...are you not afraid that I will run away with these pearls? After all, His Highness gave you the pearls."

Si Niang smiled: "I believe in you, you are not that kind of person."

You Wei paused, remained silent for a moment, looked at Si Niang and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Si Niang, I will never let you down."

After finishing speaking, they left Si Niang's room together abruptly, leaving Si Niang sitting there, muttering for a while: "Will you... let me down?"

Three days later.

Relying on Si Niang's pearls and money, You met the first merchant, who was the one who bought the largest amount of seeds for Xi this time. After picking up nearly half of the pearls, he finally met someone.

The businessman held the pearl in his hand and looked under the light. It was a good thing, but it didn't look like a servant would have it.

The businessman sized You up again, and said, "If I remember correctly, you are Boss Xi's personal servant, right? I heard that you spent a lot of time trying to see me! Hmph! Brave servant! Do you have the beads? Tell me! Did you steal your master’s money and come here to frame me?"

You was not frightened by the businessman's anger, he stood straight there, looked at the businessman neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "Does the master think that tin is different from me? I am a servant, yes, but I am not his servant, and this bead is not his." , he doesn't have such a good thing."

The businessman looked at You, and felt that he didn't seem to be telling a lie, and he had doubts about that man named Xi. Although he looked like a businessman with the appearance of a nouveau riche, which businessman was so preoccupied that he had the abacus on himself? of?

The businessman thought for a moment, and asked You: "You mean, your master is actually someone else? Boss Xi is just like you, just a servant?"

You nodded: "Yes."

Businessman: "Then who is your boss?"

You didn't hide anything, and said directly: "The lord of Baicheng, the current Marquis of Wuyi, Lord Baili!"

"The Lord of Baicheng?" The businessman was taken aback, "Is that the Baicheng that specializes in prisons and rumors of cannibalism?"

You: "Baicheng is not what it used to be. Ever since Master Baili came into existence, Baicheng has completely changed. This time I was entrusted by my lord to invite you to Baicheng to discuss business."

"Talking about business? Let's forget it," the businessman sneered, "I have traveled all over the years, experienced many things, and heard a lot. I also know the identity of Lord Baili very well. As for Baicheng, Isn’t the reason why Baicheng is called Baicheng because the place is poor and white, and people live in places where there are no crops in the fields? Besides, don’t you Baicheng want to prevent outsiders from entering?”

"No outsiders are allowed to enter. That was the old rule. Now it's different. The gates of Baicheng are open for you at any time. As for what you said, you can't grow crops," You smiled, "If you really can't grow crops, why is tin? Why did I buy so many seeds from you at once?"

The businessman was taken aback, this is true, if you can’t grow crops, why buy seeds?

You continued to laugh and said: "Master, you have also seen it. My lord spends a lot of money. The most important thing in Baicheng is silver. But since there is no shortage of silver, why does our Highness buy the most inferior beans and wheat back?"

The businessman was asked, yes, why?

You smiled: "Master, do you know that this bean is very useful, it can not only make milky white Yulu wine, but also make cubes of tofu, moldy beans can be boiled into delicious Bean paste, every kind, every kind is peerless delicious!"

The businessman's eyes widened: "Yulu? Tofu? Bean paste? You... You said that these are all made of beans?"

You: "Of course, this is what I saw with my own eyes."

The businessman has been traveling all over the world for so many years, let alone seeing these things, he has never heard of them, but seeing You's self-confidence and complacency, he doesn't understand, don't the servants always bow their heads and bow their knees Will it look like you?How could this servant put on such a proud posture in front of him?

Either this is a fool, or I am afraid it is the credit of the master behind him.

The businessman pondered for a moment, and then said: "You came to me privately to tell me these things because you were afraid of being caught by Xi...that fellow Xi knows? You are not afraid that I will expose you in front of him?"

Ever since he knew that Xi was not a merchant but a servant, he couldn't say "boss" anymore.

You smiled: "My lord said that the prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. If the master wants to make money, he must take some risks if he wants to make more money. How about going to have a look?"

After hearing this, the businessman didn't speak again for a while, and finally only said to You: "You go back."

After leaving the gate, Youcai realized that his back was already soaked and his legs were so soft that he didn't dare to stay, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks slumped after he was quite a distance away from the merchant's mansion.

With a pale face, You Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a hoarse voice: "No matter what, I have to go back and prepare for the worst."

You went back and told Si Niang what happened today, and told Si Niang to be ready at any time. If something went wrong, she immediately left Jincheng and returned to Baicheng to deliver a letter to Wushuang.

"What about you?" Si Niang worried, "What should you do?"

You gritted your teeth: "If I'm really betrayed, I won't be able to escape even if I want to. These are the remaining money. You keep it. When the time comes, hire a carriage and go back to Baicheng and tell His Highness, You ... You did your best!"

Si Niang's eyes were red, she looked at You, gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously.

In this way, You and Si Niang lived in fear for a few days, until Xi bought all the items and food that Wushuang needed, and a group of people rushed back with the food. From the beginning to the end, there was no abnormality in Xi, and he still trusted as before. You, it wasn't until returning to Baicheng that the stone in You's heart was finally completely let go.

Xi didn't kill him on the way, which means that the businessman didn't betray him, but before the businessman came to Baicheng, You couldn't be sure whether he really succeeded.

The seeds brought back by Xi were distributed to all the people by Wushuang according to the number of fields of each family. He did not break his promise and really gave the seeds to the people. It is a pity that Xi failed to find out about rice. The only thing he planted was beans and corn. Corn was very delicate. Wushuang didn't buy it. To him, it didn't matter what he could grow in Baicheng today.

And after deep plowing and salt washing, the land finally grew bean seedlings after half a month.

The first thing to grow was the land reclaimed by the Spirit Race. Since then, everyone has discovered that although the land is also cultivated, but for some reason, it seems that the land cultivated by the Spirit Race seems to be better than theirs. The spirit race learns from their experience and asks them how to plant good land. They come and go, from being strangers for two months, to now, human races and foreign races can even sit on the ridge of the field and chat happily.

The waterwheel that Yaozu helped to build brought the melted snow water into the fields. Even in the hot summer, there was no need to worry about the fields being dry.

For this, Xi received a great reward from Wushuang. He used to walk with his chin up, and looked at people with his nostrils. In contrast, Si Niang returned to the workshop to continue studying, and You, a servant is still a servant, but Xi still trusts him, and after receiving the reward, he often takes B to drink and chat with him.
