It was inconvenient for Lu Chu'er and other female guards to knock on the door from house to house. Liu Yu asked Qi Fang to go back and find 30 male soldiers, and asked around the surroundings one after another with the scene as the center.

Liu Yu wanted to go back to decoct medicine and take medicine. Su Yan was a dignified king after all, and was not suitable to walk around here, so he went back with Liu Yu and his wife.

At dusk, the talents who went out to inquire came back sporadically, and the news they brought back disappointed Liu Yu.

"It's a radius of one or two miles. I have asked everything I can about according to the drawings drawn by General Liu, but I don't even recognize it." Qu Zhu wiped his sweat and said.

Since leaving Chang'an City with Liu Yu and others, Qu Zhu has been doing everything first, and it can be said that he has done his best to perform. After all, like Hu Xuan and Liu Wu, he has no position but is considered a follower. If he can't do his job well, he will continue to be his "big immortal" when he returns to Chang'an.

"Where are those children?" Liu Yu asked.

"The child was looking for it. They said that an old man took it to the market to sell it. The ones sold were not good, and the rest were lost. They picked it up and threw it to play with it."

Liu Yu was a little amused and cried. He was very excited and thought he could do something big, but he didn't expect it to be successful.

"Continue to send people to find them, send more people, and in short, you will find them."

Liu Yu was taking medicine, and the King of Chu came to see him, saying that the King of Chu had invited him, and that only Liu Yu was invited.

Liu Yu followed him as an escort general. The old emperor's intention was to ask him to give advice to the King of Chu, but since he left Chang'an, he hadn't said a few words to the King of Chu, and he could not get the trust of the King of Chu at all. On the other hand, the new Tanhua Mingjin followed him, and the King of Chu had nothing to do and closed the door and discussed with Mingjin alone.

One day he is Su Yan's master, and this future crown prince will not treat him as his own person all day long. Liu Yu couldn't think of why the King of Chu would treat him alone today.

The King of Chu was in the prefect's house. First, the conditions of the prefect's house were better than those of the inn. Second, it was convenient to discuss with the prefect and the local agricultural and mulberry officials. Liu Yu entered the hall. The King of Chu was looking at the landscape paintings on the wall with his back to the door. Mingjin greeted him with a smile.

Liu Yu bowed and greeted him. The King of Chu seemed to turn a blind eye, and continued to carry his body on his back, and looked at his painting leisurely.

Mingjin asked with a smile: "Have General Liu's injuries improved?"

"I have visited the doctor, but there is still no improvement." Mingjin asked each other and Liu Yu told the truth.

Mingjin used to be very respectful to Liu Yu, after all, Liu Yu, the minister of the same palace, was more than ten levels higher than him. At this time, Mingjin's face turned dark and said in a nearly reprimanding tone: "Then General Liu can use the public instruments for personal use. The military headquarters station 800 miles to search for a doctor in the capital?"

Only then did Liu Yu remember that Xu Xuanzhu did mention this matter when he was in the afternoon. He originally thought it was not good. But when the King of Chu came to him alone for this matter, he still questioned Mingjin, who was the subordinate, and he couldn't help but feel angry. It would be fine if his subordinates were injured and didn't worry about condolences, but now he actually came to condemn him. Besides, Xu Xuanzhu, as a female marshal, used military posts in accordance with military law.

Mingjin represents the King of Chu, and even if Liu Yu is right, he cannot be rash.

"I know the crime."

"Just know the crime." Mingjin showed a smug smile on his face, and looked at the King of Chu with some dooms. The King of Chu still did not express his feelings. Mingjin continued, "Then General Liu will be here to recover from his injuries. Official affairs will help Wei Sizong and Yu Taishou and do your best to assist His Highness the King of Chu. You don't have to worry about it."

The group was accompanied by King Chu and King Yu. But even these officials treated Su Yan as transparent. Now they took the opportunity to warn him not to interfere, otherwise he would be punished. Although the King of Chu did not speak, Mingjin would not dare to commit crimes without the instructions of King Chu. Liu Yu really wanted to sneer and then sway his sleeves and stop.

When Liu Yu left, the King of Chu continued to read his words without saying a word.

When he returned to the mansion, Liu Yu was full of anger. Xu Xuanzhu brought him tea and water and asked him. Liu Yu only said that he was worried about not finding the source of sweet potatoes today. It was inconvenient for Liu Yu to mention many things to Xu Xuanzhu. After all, Xu Xuanzhu was also a minister and might also assist the King of Chu ascended the throne to the throne in the future.

If you want to live a peaceful life, complaints are often only suitable for being stuck in your heart.

In the next few days, the prefect's office was busy sending a notice to the counties of Fangzhou County and implementing the "Jiqi Law" to collect grain. The King of Chu was decisive. Although this was an advantage, he was too arrogant and a little blindly arrogant and arbitrary. On the surface, he did not make friends with Su Yan, but never discussed with Su Yan. This made the prefect of Fangzhou County Yu Tianshou, who was quite embarrassed and often went to the inn alone to ask Su Yan's opinions.

Of course, Su Yan had no objection, and Yu Tianshou just didn't want to offend King Yu while obeying King Chu.

Su Yan has also been to the Prefect's Mansion several times. The only thing Liu Yu heard him mention about the Prefect's Mansion was: "Prince Yu's daughter is so beautiful." Su Yan spent the rest of the time traveling all over the city.

Since he arrived in Fangzhou County, Liu Yu was very leisurely, and the inn would come and go from time to time to time a few doctors invited from surrounding counties and counties. He came in a hurry and went in a hurry. Liu Yu no longer had hope for the local doctors. He was more concerned about whether he could find out where the shaved sweet potato came from. There were many people sent out, and there was no news.

On the seventh day of arriving in Fangzhou County, the grain collection organized by the prefect's office had reached the stage of collecting grains and warehousing. In just a few days, from the announcement to the assignment of tasks to the implementation of each household to the collection of grains and warehousing, the King of Chu was arranged in an orderly manner. The most important thing was to appease the wealthy households who paid grain in Fangzhou. Liu Yu couldn't understand why the rich households in the local area were so obedient.

It is also a good thing to be effective in paying food, not to mention that it is to rob the rich and help the poor and make the poor lose nothing. In the past few days in Fangzhou County, Liu Yuyu felt the embarrassment of local salt shortages, but Fangzhou is not a salt-producing place, and the government is busy collecting grain, so no one pays attention to the suffering of the people.

Finally on the afternoon of the seventh day, Liu Wu ran into the inn excitedly and shouted: "Young master, young master, I found it, I found it."

Liu Yuzheng was bored and played chess with himself, and looked up and asked, "What have you found?"

"Finding that...sweet potato is where the sweet potato comes from."

Liu Yu stood up and said, "Where is it? No one was found? Let me explain it clearly."

Liu Wu was very quick, but he was a little excited to complete such a big job for the first time. In addition, he was out of breath after running for several miles, and he spoke hesitantly. Fortunately, Liu Yu was careful enough and asked clearly little by little.

Sweet potatoes are not called sweet potatoes, but "Nanyang Gum". Nanyang Gum is not a local product, but is planted in Hua County, more than 100 miles south of Fangzhou County. It is said that there are many people planted there.

Su Yan came over and asked, "Master, have you sent someone from there to send that... Nanyang Gan here?"

"No need, go prepare the horses and we go there in person."

Su Yan immediately looked worried when he heard this. He finally left Chang'an once. Fangzhou was not on the bank of Kuishui, Huai Shang County. There were no Turkic cavalry here without digging trenches and making Huaminfeng. He had just had a good time. He heard that he wanted to catch a hundred miles to find an inconspicuous sweet potato in Hua County. How could he not worry?

Xu Xuanzhu had just gone to decoct medicine himself. When he came back, he saw Liu Yu wearing a coat and said with concern: "How about I go for you to take a trip for you, and your husband's injuries have not healed. It means that the imperial doctor sent by the Japanese emperor will come quickly, and you will miss it like this."

"Hurry more and you can arrive in the afternoon, and it will be too late to come back tomorrow."

Liu Yu didn't listen to the advice and originally wanted to keep Xu Xuanzhu in Fangzhou. But Xu Xuanzhu was worried and set off with Liu Yu for Hua County.

Hua County was not under Fangzhou County, but belonged to Lin County in the south. Liu Yu and others set out in a hurry and did not say hello to the prefect. The group rushed to the scene and entered Hua County before sunset and dusk.

When Liu Yu saw the bright green sweet potato vines in the ridges of the fields, he felt very excited. He jumped off the horse and walked out of the official road in the puzzled eyes, and pulled out one from the soil. Unfortunately, these are all spring potatoes that are not yet ripe, and the sweet potatoes dug out are not big.

"Good stuff, good stuff." Liu Yu praised with a smile.

Xu Xuanzhu and others also jumped off the horse and came to check the sweet potatoes in Liu Yu's hand. Suddenly, a shout came from afar: "Hey!"

As if a warning was heard, Liu Yu looked up and saw several farmers doing farm work rushing over with hoes. He originally wanted to teach this little thief who stole Nanyang Gan a lesson, but when he saw these people carrying swords, no one dared to approach.

"...How do you...steal things from our field?"

These people have strong accents, and Liu Yu couldn't understand many of them, but he understood the last sentence of the middle-aged farmer in front of him.

"Where did you come from this thing?"

Liu Yu and their accents were not the same. After talking for a long time, they realized it and pointed to the east and said, "Qi Village, Qi Village."

Both Middle-earth people, the difficulty of communicating is no better than sign language than foreigners. However, the farmer kept repeating Qi Village, which means it was reported by the people from Qi Village. The group went straight east, and there were plains along the way. Although there were grains and cereals in the fields, at least half of the fields were planted with sweet potatoes, which meant that they were not rare varieties grown by one household.

After inquiring about the road, I walked twenty or thirty miles. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and it seemed to be raining, Su Yan began to feel a little nervous. After all, he was in a hurry and didn't bring a tent. Finally, after walking a few miles out of the official road, he found a small mountain village named Qi Village.

The sky was gloomy and dim, surrounded by green mountains and green trees, the mountains were hazy, and the fields were filled with farmers carrying hoes. Not far away, there were thatched huts curling smoke, and chickens crowed and dogs barked. Even Su Yan, who had always liked to burrow in the pile of powerful people, could not help but stare at the quiet scene in front of him.

"Who are you looking for?" a cowherd baby came over with his bare butt and asked.

"Little brother, this Nanyang Gan came from your Qi Village, right?" Liu Yu stepped forward and asked, "Do you know how this Nanyang Gan came about?"

"Uncle Dacai, Uncle Dacai..."

The cowherd let go of the rope, and seemed not worried that the cow would be taken away by these strangers. He repeatedly shouted and ran towards the village.

When he came back, there was a man wearing a gray old Confucian uniform with Mu Niuwa, who looked like a rural teacher. The man had two beards and looked very honest in his square face. He was in his thirties and looked at more than 20 people in his ranks of surprise while walking. Suddenly he bowed and said, "The grass-roots people don't know that Shangguan is coming, and they deserve to die."
