Chapter 283 One-Sided Wish?
Ying Ming smiled.
The master did not blame the lady.
He said, "Our master said that if the princess needs any help, she should just ask. After all, she's not an outsider."
There's nothing I can help with.
The seeds have been selected.
Mu Yunyun recently went up the mountain to find wild vegetable seeds. After all, having tiger grass wasn't enough; she wanted to plant anything that could be grown.
It's understandable that he cares.
How has your husband been doing lately?
"The master is doing well. They're about to start farming, so they sent me over to check on things."
"After the Fire God Festival, I will personally visit your master."
At that moment, Qi Yue walked in.
He was busy drying medicinal herbs outside.
When Mu Yunyun saw him come in, she handed him a cup of tea.
"You must be tired. Take a break. The sun is blazing. You can work anytime."
Qi Yue accepted it without hesitation.
Ying Ming noticed that this was the teacup that the concubine had just used for tea.
It was drunk by the concubine.
"You go about your business, why are you bothering me?" Qi Yue handed her the teacup and sat down beside her.
From this angle, Ying Ming could clearly see the teeth marks on his neck where he had been bitten.
The teeth marks weren't deep, and they were red.
Ancient mermaids lived in the South China Sea, and all sea creatures had white skin.
That red mark was so conspicuous that it was hard to miss.
Ying Ming suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
The two acted intimately, which was completely unlike what the outside world had speculated.
Besides, Lord Qiyue is required to remain chaste for his partner, so the princess cannot actually do anything. Even so, does she want to get close to him?
Qi Yue looked him up and down.
"Are you a member of the Dijiang clan?" He looked at the cuff of his sleeve, where the Dijiang clan's emblem was displayed.
Ying Ming replied respectfully.
"I have come on the orders of my lord to inquire about the concubine's farming practices."
Qi Yue asked that question.
These past few days, she's been so busy she barely has time to rest, and he's seen it all. She's exhausted, so he takes care of her every day and can't get rid of her no matter what.
Ying Ming stood there, waiting for a long time, only to find that he had only asked politely and did not seem to take it to heart.
Aren't you curious?
After all, the concubine had sent quite a few things to the Emperor Jiang clan.
The rumors circulating outside have become like that again.
Now that the master has sent him here in person, does Lord Qiyue really not care at all?
Ying Ming's sense of crisis seemed to have disappeared.
It seems that the woman's feelings are wishful thinking.
Lord Qiyue only became close to the princess for the sake of the cubs.
He breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy for the adults.
After all, when it comes to appearance, who can compare to the ancient mermaid race?
Only the fox clan can be considered equal in strength.
"Sang'er, go get some milk cakes." Mu Yunyun called out to the outside, then looked at Ying Ming: "I'll have someone wrap up the pastries, you can give them to your parents to try."
"If the lord knew that the lady was thinking of him, he would be very happy."
This was too obvious. Ying Ming secretly glanced at Qi Yue and, seeing that he didn't react at all, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The concubine lacks someone who truly cares for her.
If you were here, you would be very considerate. Unlike here, where we have to be mindful of your mood.
Ying Ming left satisfied.
......
The news that the Mu clan was preparing to implement agriculture spread throughout the entire Yuanzhou.
The major clans also came to join in the fun.
They had tasted Tiger Seed Grass and found it to be quite good. Besides, large clans didn't lack slaves, so what was wrong with farming? They didn't need to farm anyway.
The smaller clans were even more excited.
They had already plowed the land long ago and were just waiting to buy seeds.
However, Mu Yunyun laid out the unpleasant truths upfront.
"The harvest is uncertain. If there is a severe drought or flood, there is a chance of no harvest at all, and the whole year's work will be in vain."
Upon hearing this, the clans that had come to buy the race looked at each other in bewilderment.
Isn't it enough to just plant it in the soil?
This is what Emperor Jiang said to them.
Mu Yunyun explained.
"Of course not, there's a lot to it. Crops are vulnerable to pests and agricultural damage. Strong winds and heavy rains are no good, and you also have to keep birds and animals away. It's not an easy task."
Upon hearing this, the major clans began to back down.
"It's still this complicated?"
If that's the case, not only will the harvest be uncertain, but slaves will also have to be kept on the land. What about the work of the tribe?
Moreover, these large clans were not exactly starving.
Slaves starved to death, so be it.
It's not a big deal.
After hearing what Mu Yunyun said, they all lost interest.
"Don't worry, my lady, we will definitely plant them carefully. If there's anything we don't understand, please give us some pointers."
The one speaking was Tanuki, from the Koyama Tanuki clan.
After a winter, these little females were pale and thin; Mu Yunyun had seen them at the banquet.
"Yeah, yeah, anyway, none of us have anything to do."
Another small clan spoke up.
Being able to fill one's stomach is better than anything else.
There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world.
Hearing them say that, Mu Yunyun felt very gratified.
She took out the seeds she had prepared beforehand.
"These are wild vegetable seeds, each crop takes about ten days. These are some melons and fruits, which take at least one month and at most three months. This is tiger grass, which can be harvested twice a year. A bag of seeds costs one sea coin. If you want to plant them, just come here and get them."
so cheap?
The small clan was momentarily stunned when they thought about the sea coins they had spent so long saving up to buy seeds.
Mu Yunyun smiled: "The seeds don't cost much, but the farming tools are more expensive. For example, this hoe will cost about ten sea coins."
Ten?
The small clan breathed a sigh of relief.
They were, after all, a clan; a dozen or so smaller clans combined could still scrape together a few dozen sea coins.
"Once the harvest is complete, we will never forget the great kindness of Lady Ji."
"Yes, I will definitely plant them well. Anyway, I have inexhaustible energy!"
Everyone was chattering and gathered around the stall, creating a lively atmosphere.
Mu Yunyun never intended to sell it at a high price.
Farming is a major undertaking.
If seeds and farming tools are too expensive, then naturally some people will be deterred.
Let's just focus on quantity.
The entire Yuanzhou is used as the boundary.
That's quite a bit of income.
The Eagle Clan has been quite busy these past few days.
On the one hand, with the popularization of agriculture, they no longer have to worry about selling their ironware. In the past few days, people of all races, large and small, have come to buy hoes and other such items from them.
Ten sea coins for a hoe—that's a considerable sum for them, who were born in the rainforest.
They were raking in sea currency until their hands were sore, and Diqiu's face was always full of wrinkles.
On the other hand, Yingzhaoshi's people also arrived.
They came to deliver the pearl.
The twenty bushels of goods were displayed so openly that they were quite taken aback.
"This is just a small token of my young patriarch's appreciation. The goods are in very short supply this time, so the young patriarch asked me to come and ask the eldest patriarch when next month's goods will arrive?"
