Chapter 559 Is this the action a woman should take?
"Wow..." Guoguo burst into tears. The little boy was smart enough to know that his savior had come.
Fu Jichang put down Ji Xiaobei's arm and said, "The child knows she is wrong. How can such a small child, a girl at that, withstand your slap! You are so strong, what if she gets hurt?"
Ji Xiaobei hated it most when others interfered when she was taking care of the children. This time, Mrs. Lin was so anxious that she kept rubbing her hands outside and didn't dare to come into the house.
She said angrily, "I am taking care of my children, it's none of your business, go away!"
Fu Jichang blocked Ji Xiaobei's body and Guoguo hid behind him.
Ji Xiaobei couldn't beat Guoguo, so he raised his hand and slapped Fu Jichang on the arm.
"Snapped……"
Fu Jichang felt that his entire arm was numb.
He was glad that Ji Xiaobei's slap didn't fall on his beloved, and he looked at Ji Xiaobei with bared teeth.
Guoguo was so scared that his face turned pale.
My mother has never lost her temper like this before. It seems that she is really angry this time.
Uncle Fu was beaten up.
She didn't dare to say anything and just stared at her mother blankly.
Ji Xiaobei pulled Guoguo out from behind Fu Jichang.
"Come with me to eat~!" Ji Xiaobei carried Guoguo to the dining table.
Fu Jichang: I got beaten for nothing!
When Fu Jichang came out of the house, Mrs. Lin wanted to invite him to have dinner together, but when she saw that her daughter's face was longer than Ma Debiao's, she thought better of it.
Fu Jichang came out of Ji Xiaobei's yard hungry and went to the old lady's yard.
I had a meal with the old lady.
During this period, he often came back to have dinner with the old lady and watched her grow weaker day by day.
Huang Po's conditioning prescription seemed to have no effect.
The old lady can no longer eat by herself and is fed by Nanny Zhang.
My spirits are getting worse and worse, and I want to sleep after eating.
Slept most of the day.
Fu Jichang invited the imperial physician, but the physician shook his head and did not prescribe any medicine.
He could only watch his grandmother grow weaker day by day, unable to do anything.
Children are full of energy every day, while old people are aging day by day and cannot stop aging.
He felt inexplicably depressed every time he came to his grandmother's house.
After dinner, he helped the old lady to sleep and then quietly left.
The old lady spoke less and less, and after a meal, she seemed to have no energy to talk.
Although the sun was shining brightly outside, he felt cold.
He thought of Ji Xiaobei again. She could solve any problems that he couldn't handle.
He walked quickly towards the next yard.
Ji Xiaobei came to the door to feed Ji Decai and pretended not to see him.
When I hit him just now, there was action and reaction.
My hand still hurts.
Ji Xiaobei snorted in his heart.
"Xiaobei, are you still angry? You did the right thing about Guoguo. You should educate her well..." Fu Jichang licked his lips and tried to choose his words.
"Just tell me what you want to say!" Ji Xiaobei said with a cold expression.
"My grandmother's mental state is getting worse and worse. I wonder if you could give her some special medicine..."
“No, the old lady is quite old and her organs are weak.
Any treatment on her will only increase her pain. Birth, aging, sickness and death, the cycle of life and death, no one can control it, whether in this world or in another world!"
Fu Jichang nodded in agreement.
He felt sad just by seeing his grandmother.
Ji Xiaobei understood him, but she still had to say what she had to say.
"The potato seeds will appear in two days on the land where Lord Cao cultivated the new variety. You should have people reclaim the wasteland as soon as possible. There are 1000 acres of seeds here. Can you plant them?"
Ji Xiaobei changed the subject.
Last time I only planted 100 acres, and it is impossible to reclaim so much wasteland in two days.
He was worried when there were no potato seeds. Now that he has potato seeds, he is also worried!
Ji Xiaobei looked at him and suggested, "The first batch of potatoes are growing well, so we can contract them out to farmers to grow this time!"
Fu Jichang: "Ah, how can we contract it to farmers?"
Ji Xiaobei said: "The responsibilities are assigned to individuals. Each family will receive 20 potatoes for free. If they want to plant more, they can apply to the government office to buy more. This way, the government office can get some of the money back, so the pressure will not be too great. In addition, each person will be given a little money for reclaiming the land to increase their enthusiasm! After the harvest, each family will hand over some to the government office, and the government office will hand over some to the national treasury, leaving some as relief food."
Fu Jichang looked at Ji Xiaobei: This woman is quite scheming.
Ji Xiaobei added: "However, this matter still needs to be discussed with Prince Yong'an. As long as he agrees, he will be able to support the emperor."
Fu Jichang nodded. It would be much more prestigious for the young prince to come forward and report to the emperor than for himself.
"That's a good idea!" Fu Jichang agreed.
"I'll go discuss it with Prince Yong'an!" said Ji Xiaobei.
"I'll ask someone to invite Prince Yong'an!" said Fu Jichang.
"Prince Yong'an is in Anzhou, just let him go to Huangpo!" said Ji Xiaobei.
An hour later, Li Yunjiong appeared in the yard where Huang Po lived.
Ji Xiaobei and Prince Yong'an explained their ideas.
"Is this something you came up with?" Li Yunjiong looked at Ji Xiaobei in surprise.
Ji Xiaobei did not deny and asked: "What do you think?"
Prince Yong'an Li Yunjiong smiled and said, "Miss Ji's idea is good, but this idea of assigning responsibilities to households is the first time I've heard of it. It can not only motivate farmers, but also help the government collect some taxes, killing two birds with one stone. I've already sent someone to deliver the 1,000 taels of silver to the government office."
Ji Xiaobei smiled and patted his thigh, thinking to himself: The young prince keeps his word and is a good person.
Li Yunjiong saw Ji Xiaobei slap his thigh and thought to himself: Is this the action a woman should take?
Before I could think about it, another idea came to my mind.
He will go back to see his father.
Tell us about Anzhou’s potato planting plan.
Maybe I can help my father solve his problems.
That day, Li Yunjiong went back and met the emperor.
After listening to this, the emperor praised: "Not bad, this is a good idea, let's do it. If you need anything, take my jade token and go to my private storehouse to get it. I will let someone notify Fu Tongpan and ask him to fully cooperate with you. The Minister of Agriculture can cultivate potatoes so quickly. I was not wrong about Lord Cao."
The emperor wanted to ask more about the potato planting issue, but Eunuch Fu came to report that General Wu from the northern border wanted to see him.
Li Yunjiong pushed it out.
Li Yunjiong was very happy to get the emperor's approval, and he also got the sign of his father's private storehouse.
This is the first time his father has praised him since he grew up.
Li Yunjiong went back to get some clothes to change into, and rode towards Anzhou at full speed with his servant.
At the same time, Fu Jichang also received the message from Eunuch Fu.
Fu Jichang felt half relieved.
With the emperor's support behind him, no one else dares to say anything.
What he was worried about was Ji Xiaobei's potato seeds.
By then, with so many potato seeds, how can we avoid arousing suspicion?
This is a tricky question…
