Chapter 369 Infatuation(1/2)
Although the court granted Li Ling a title, he was still not exempted from the position of Lanzhou prefect.
He naturally had nothing to do in the capital, and he just waited for the marriage before letting the court assign other positions.
When I passed by the kitchen, I heard the conversation between Feng Heng and his mother.
The mother and daughter followed Li Ling to the capital. Feng Heng kept taking care of Li Ling's diet at the Li family, and sometimes Feng's mother also helped.
"Heng'er, you have thought about it. The emperor gave three wives with Li Ling at a time. If you want to join in again, it's not easy. Moreover, you are not sure if he has you in his heart. Why are you waiting hard?"
"Mom, no matter whether he has me in his heart or not, I will follow him. I just need to stay by his side and take care of Li Ling's diet! As long as he is not tired of the food I cook for a day, I will always follow him!"
Since Li Ling and Ma Qiang saved his life, Feng Heng completely handed over his heart to Li Ling. No matter what, she will never fall in love with others in this life!
Li Ling's heart trembled. After he returned to the capital, everything was disturbed. First, it was Liu Yu's beheading, and then it was Zhou's death.
He was so busy these days that he had forgotten Feng Heng and had never considered her feelings at all!
When Andrei returned from his voyage, he brought back many seeds. Now that these seeds have all bear fruit, he naturally has to go over and take a look.
"Feng Heng, you and I go to the village outside the city to take a look. Are there many good things there?"
"Li Ling. You and Angelababy are about to get married. You cannot meet at will by the rules!"
Feng Heng wanted to call him when she saw Li Ling leaving the city. She was naturally very happy, but she still whispered to remind Li Ling that she didn't want Li Ling to break the rules.
Li Ling shook his head. It was more than twenty days before their wedding. Even if he met the three girls, it did not go against local customs.
What Feng Heng didn't expect was that Li Ling did not ride a horse this time, but got into the carriage like her.
The space in the car is not very large. Feng Heng and Li Ling sit side by side, and they can hear each other's heartbeat.
When Li Ling suddenly pulled Feng Heng's little hand, her heartbeat even more violently.
She wanted to struggle, but she couldn't break free from Li Ling's control, and her face turned even redder!
Li Ling glanced at her shy look and said, "Heng'er, I heard what you and aunt said in the kitchen yesterday!"
Feng Heng could not have thought that Li Ling would tell her this, she was even more shy. If there was a crack in the ground at this time, she could get in.
"You don't let me down, I won't let you down!" Li Ling murmured in a low voice and hugged Feng Heng into his arms.
Li Ling was a little intoxicated when he smelled the faint fragrance on her body.
"Li Ling, did we go to the village outside the city this time just to visit the three sisters?" Feng Heng was also intoxicated with this atmosphere. She hid in Li Ling's arms and asked in a low voice.
Li Ling was so eager to go outside the city, as if he had encountered a big problem.
"You will know when you get there. Then I will introduce you to a new kind of food!"
Li Ling was naturally very anxious about the harvest of several new crops.
These seeds were planted by him, including corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, and dozens of mother-of-peppers, and more than a dozen acres of peppers. If there is a bumper harvest, it will be enough for the next year’s seeds!
When he was still in the northwest, he already knew that all the crops had achieved "harvests". However, he didn't know what kind of harvest the so-called harvest of the ancients was, and whether they could get into Li Ling's eyes.
The three girls were very surprised to see Li Ling coming, but when they saw him turn their eyes to several crops, they understood.
These seeds were piled up in the chaotic room in a mess. The sweet potatoes and potatoes were also covered with soil, and the entire warehouse was also very wet. I guess they had never been dried when they were put away.
What puzzled Li Ling even more was that the corn in the warehouse is still with the sticks.
"Young Master, you said that these corns are something on the cobs, so I will ask everyone to collect all the corn on the cobs!".
The person in charge of this seed was also a accountant at Dachang Money House. Seeing Li Ling's worried look, he had no choice but to admit his mistake.
Li Ling felt a little distressed when he looked at these seeds placed randomly, but he couldn't get angry at will. After all, no one else had seen these seeds before, so he didn't know how to deal with them!
"Forget it, you should inform the nearby villagers now, call all the free villagers, ask them to come and help dry the food, and tell them each person one ounce a day, regardless of gender!"
These seeds were all obtained by Li Ling after spending a lot of effort, and he felt very distressed even if he lost one.
The accountant was slightly shocked. He now knew that he had caused a big disaster.
Now it only takes two or three cents of silver to recruit a guy to do things a month, but Li Ling generously gave a price of one cent a day, which shows the importance of these seeds.
Although it was late autumn, the accountant's sweat was still flowing.
"What, is there any problem?" Li Ling asked sternly.
The accountant still stood in the warehouse and refused to leave, obviously he encountered a difficult situation.
"Young Master, it's the time to sow, and everyone is busy planting wheat. If there is any delay, it will probably delay the harvest for the next year. Although you will be rewarded with a lot, you may not be able to recruit many villagers!" The accountant said hesitantly.
During the autumn harvest, he watched the villagers harvest the crops in the fields before hiring someone to help.
Since the villagers did not have time to help and these seeds could not be placed in the warehouse like this for a long time, Li Ling could only send someone to the military camp to transfer the Li family army.
Xiao Ba also stayed in the military camp. When he got Li Ling and asked dozens of soldiers to help the village outside the city, he took the initiative to bring 200 people over.
If it weren't for the urgent matter, Li Ling would never have used the army!
These 200 people were all cavalrymen, and they arrived at Li Ling's manor in a short time.
"Master, I wonder why you asked me to come here this time?" Xiaoba was also a little stunned when he looked at the food piled up everywhere in the warehouse. Could it be that the Master hurriedly transferred them here for this?
"Take your people and move all the seeds in the warehouse outside, and then do what you said!" Li Ling immediately gave them an order.
These seeds were tens of thousands of kilograms, and it took the soldiers nearly half an hour to move them outside.
"Master, I think I'd better go back and call some people!" Xiao Ba said in a little bit.
When he learned that he wanted to lift corn from the corn cob one by one, he realized that there were fewer people he brought!
Under Xiao Ba's instructions, a soldier found hundreds of people in the military camp.
Three hundred people acted together, and the work was almost finished within an hour!
For these seeds, Li Ling actually called all the troops over. How could the tenants in the village not know about it?
The soldiers had just put down their friends, and an elderly elder came over with a dozen farmers.
"Sir, can you tell me why you attach so much importance to these foods?"
The old man asked the question in his heart readily.
These crops were planted by Li Ling himself, and he found a accountant in Dachang Money Village to manage these crops.
Li Ling spent a lot of effort on these crops. Now he has used the army to preserve these seeds!
The tenants were very curious, so they asked the old man to bring them over to have a look!
The soldiers pricked their ears when they heard this, and they also wanted to know the reason.
"Let's put it this way, these three crops are several times higher than the wheat yields. The yields of sweet potatoes and potatoes per mu are about 1,500 kilograms, but jade is a large replacement for wheat!"
In ancient times, one pound was 16 taels, and compared with wheat yielding 200 to 300 pounds per mu, the three crops were naturally considered high yields.
About 1,500 kilograms! The tenants were incredible about this output.
"Sir, are you saying true?" the old man asked in a trembling voice.
He has lived so big, and has never heard of such a high-yield crop!
Other tenants whispered. If this was true, they would not be afraid of being hungry in the future!
"Sir, tell the villagers how much land we used to plant these crops!"
Li Ling didn't want to say much, and everything was proved with actual practice!
"Sir, there are more corn seeds, and a total of 30 acres of land, sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted in total!" The accountant reported the data easily, and he was very familiar with these.
Looking at the densely packed crops on the ground, the elder took a random look and found that the data given by Li Ling might have been retained.
"Young Master, no one has eaten these crops before, I don't know how they taste?" Xiao Ba was full of doubts. How did he know that there are these high-yield crops in the West?
But then he thought of Andre and his son, and it must have been these two guys who told the eldest master.
Xiao Ba's question completely attracted everyone's attention and everyone wanted to know the answer.
"Today we have worked hard, so we will use these crops to make a meal for you to try!"
Li Ling ordered the soldiers to pick up some dry corn, and he led everyone to a tenant with a stone mill to deal with the corn!
He brought some sweet potatoes and potatoes into the kitchen.
"Feng Heng, today we will eat some rare things!".
Li Ling asked several girls to cook a pot of corn porridge, put some sweet potatoes in, and copied a few more plates of potatoes!
Feng Heng looked outside while fiddling with food. She didn't expect that Li Ling hurried to the farm for these crops.
His vision is so great! Feng Heng is a little confused.
"I knew you also hoped Li Ling!" Angelababy walked to her at some point and said, "I will match you up if I have the chance!"
"Thank you sister!" Feng Heng blushed when she saw that it was Angelababy. She originally wanted to deny it, but she didn't expect that she would say thank you in a strange way!
There are no 300 soldiers and drinks in a pot of polenta, but everyone just try it casually.
Li Ling personally served a bowl of porridge, then brought a plate of potatoes to the old man.
The old man was not polite, he took the chopsticks and started eating.
The corn porridge was just potatoes, and the old man quickly finished the porridge.
