Chapter 620: Let’s hold on for as long as we can!
"Ask the kitchen to prepare a few dishes and let them both try them." Su Yueyao ordered.
"I have just given the order." Yang Qianxun said with a smile.
"You haven't been going out much lately. I see these noble families have even stopped you these days. I'm thinking about how to write this memorial."
"My dear wife, I think we should just fight head-on! In the afternoon, the secret guards used sleeping pills to capture a dozen secret guards and threw them directly in front of the mansion gate to eliminate these families directly." Xingchen said.
"Is Xingchen's method too harsh?" Xun Haoxuan said.
"If we don't act tough, our mansion won't be quiet anytime soon. My wife is still pregnant, and His Highness and the other three are still vomiting in the house. If those secret guards who break in see us, my wife will be exposed."
"Xingchen, can the forces in our hands work together to fight against these aristocratic families?" Lu Yuanyi said.
"Even if you can't fight, you have to fight. Otherwise, why would you feel so aggrieved? You and Yuan Jin didn't have a smooth time selling pills this morning, did you? I'm afraid you went to the pharmacy to deliver posters and picture albums, right?"
Xingchen's words made Lu Yuanyi's heart choke. Now the noble families in Fengdu were all thinking of sending people into their mansion without waiting for him to say anything. If he and Yuanjin hadn't seen that the situation was not right and had quickly gotten rid of them, the two of them might not have been able to come back.
"Pill? Yuanyi is the pill I took after having sex?" Su Yueyao asked after hearing it.
"Yes! This pill can increase the pregnancy rate, but it is very small, and almost all the babies born to women are little boys, not as effective as my wife! We were planning to promote this pill, but now everyone in Fengdu is looking at my wife, and no one is paying attention."
After listening to this, Su Yueyao tapped the table with her fingers. This pill can indeed divert her attention from the fact that she is pregnant, but the effect seems not enough.
At this time, Gong Yang Ruoyu and Pu An packed up and entered the yard and bowed to Su Yueyao: "Wife."
"No need to be so polite. This is a new dish. You two can try it first." Su Yueyao said, pointing to the four dishes on the table.
"My wife did it?"
"I directed the cook to do it."
"That was also made by my wife. Let me try it. Is this what my wife planted not far from Wangyouju?"
"Yes, it's called potatoes. We have all eaten them. You two should eat them quickly! They won't taste good if they get cold."
"Good wife."
Gongyang Ruoyu and Pu An sat down politely and started to eat.
Su Yueyao retracted her gaze and asked Yang Qian who was standing beside her: "Qianqian, what do you think we should do?"
"Ayao, if you want to use pills to divert attention, that's fine. At least Ayao can be more at peace before giving birth. But if the effect is not good, those noble families will keep an eye on Ayao in the future."
"We can hold it off for a while!"
"What Xingchen said is that we should just be tough with each other. That's fine. Now they are the ones asking for help, so we don't have to be too polite. But there is a balance to be struck, and we shouldn't provoke everyone at once."
"Let's take a few days to get organized and go see those noble families!" Yang Qian said after thinking for a while.
"Okay! I'll still write a letter of complaint to His Majesty."
"Submitting memorials is a must, otherwise it would be annoying for these noble families to go through so much trouble every day."
Su Yueyao looked at Gong Yangruoyu and Pu An and asked, "How does this potato taste?"
"My wife's food is delicious, soft, sticky and crispy, especially when paired with meat dishes. I like it very much." Gong Yang Ruoyu put down his chopsticks and said.
"What is the yield per mu of potatoes, my wife?" Pu An asked.
"Here the minimum yield is more than 1,000 kilograms per acre! If we apply fertilizer well in the later stage, it should be able to reach more than 2,000 kilograms!" Su Yueyao said roughly.
In fact, in modern times, it is possible to produce 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms of potatoes per acre, but there are no chemical fertilizers here, and there are also problems with the potato varieties.
"More than 2,000 pounds?" Everyone else looked at Su Yueyao in shock.
Su Yueyao looked at their shocked expressions and said, "Didn't I tell you?"
Suddenly everyone shook their heads.
"My dear wife, the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is equally high?" Pei Yuqi asked immediately.
"They should be about the same! Both crops are high-yield food."
"My dear wife, you know that with this food, the people of our Fengluan country will be able to have enough to eat." Pu An said excitedly.
"Of course I know, otherwise why would I spend all that effort looking for it? It was Xingchen and Jihua who found it!" Su Yueyao said with a smile.
"Yan Xi planted a batch of crops in southern Xinjiang and transported them here after the New Year. They were all kept as seeds for planting in the spring. After we push this grain, the southern regions can plant another batch in the fall, but places that are too cold cannot."
"When the people accept this grain and we have enough seeds, we will hand it over to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty take charge!"
"But we also need to farm it ourselves, so Gongyang, your family has the most land, can you provide some?" Su Yueyao said with a smile.
"Okay, my wife. I will ask the family to reserve the land in advance." Gong Yang Ruoyu said immediately.
"The potatoes and sweet potatoes grown on your family's land will be divided 50-50 when the time comes!"
"The Gongyang family only wants 30% of my wife's grain crops for the whole year next year, and the rest belongs to me. In the later period, I planted a lot of crops, so we will split it 50-50!"
"You are at a loss, aren't you? I only provided the seeds, and the subsequent watering and fertilization are all yours."
"My wife, in the long run, it is our Gongyang family that has taken advantage. Once my wife is handed over, we may not be able to buy seeds at all if we want to plant them."
"Okay, let's do as you say!"
"My wife, we can also plant crops on our farm."
"Yes! My dear wife, the Xun family also has many farms and lands."
"After I collect the seeds, I will give some to each of your families, okay?" Su Yueyao said with a smile.
"Thank you, my wife." The others immediately said with a smile.
"You're welcome."
"I am going to submit a petition to complain. I will write it and you can present it directly to His Majesty in court tomorrow!" Su Yueyao continued.
"My wife attended the morning court today, and officials related to the Li family reported to His Majesty, saying..." Pu An stopped talking halfway. The words were too harsh and he couldn't say them out loud.
"What did you say? Go Ram?"
"Don't be angry when you hear this, my wife. What they said was not very nice."
"Just keep talking. I really want to hear what they have to say."
"They said that your wife deliberately flirted with the noble families, saying that since you can give birth, you should marry more husbands. This is why everyone in Fengdu is surrounding you. They said that you are so greedy for men's pursuit that you will not be able to teach Her Highness the Princess well, and they want to dismiss you from your post." Gongyang Ruoyu's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.
Everyone else looked at Gong Yang Ruoyu with a frown.
