CH 55.3

The fourth prince waved his fan and retreated, unlike the second prince who was in a bad mood, he was in a good mood.

So good that the attendant behind him asked him why.

The fourth prince smiled inexplicably, "Bendian is going to marry a beauty soon, shouldn't I be happy?"

The attendant felt that this was not the reason, but the fourth prince refused to say anything.

The blood relationship of the royal family had always been weak, even brothers with the same mother.

In the Wei family, Wei Yunzhao and Jiang Lin were looking at the rice that manager Yang brought from the farmhouse.

Xuancheng rice could only be harvested in two months, but the other kind of rice was a long time late, but the output was twice as high as Xuancheng rice. Seeing this output, everyone in the farmhouse were overjoyed.

After harvesting and drying, Manager Yang sent someone to the Wei mansion immediately.

The farmers worked hard and gave enough fertilizer. They could harvest more than 200 catties of Xuancheng rice and more than 400 catties of unknown rice from the two fields. Even Jiang Lin was surprised.

Jiang Lin asked Wei Yunzhao to take some unhulled rice and grind it into rice. He wanted to taste it, and at the same time he asked Wei Yunzhao, "What are you going to do?"

Wei Yunzhao said: "I want to send these rice to the border. The border is dry and cold. It’s the most suitable place to grow Xuancheng rice."

Jiang Lin nodded and pointed to the rice they planted from the seeds he took out from the space, "What about this?, are you going to report this one?"

"Report!" Wei Yunzhao said, "I should move my position."

The purpose of his job as Tuntian Secretary was to plant Xuancheng rice, and then report to Emperor Changde to promote it. Now Xuancheng rice was already available and Emperor Changde also sent people to fetch more good seeds back, and he had done what he could do.

"Where do you want to go?" Jiang Lin asked.

"Military Department," Wei Yunzhao blurted out two words, and he said, "They should need me soon."

If the second prince's private soldiers in Dengzhou were revealed, he might not be so eager to jump over the wall and turn back directly, and at this time, someone needed to command the battle and make the enemy retreat, and Wei Yunzhao was a very suitable candidate.

None of the generals who stayed in Shengjing was better at fighting than him.

Jiang Lin sat on the sack of rice and looked at Wei Yunzhao fixedly, "You are playing a big game of chess."

Wei Yunzhao didn’t deny it, "Yes," so he needed to be careful and plan every step of the way.

"Madam thinks I'm too scheming, do you not like it?"

Wei Yunzhao cared a lot about Jiang Lin's opinion, and looked at Jiang Lin with longing eyes.

Jiang Lin stood up and pinched Wei Yunzhao's face, "Then will you use these scheming on me?"

"Of course not," Wei Yunzhao replied quickly and firmly.

Jiang Lin said, "That's it."

He put his arms around Wei Yunzhao's neck and sat on his lap. This was a habit the two of them had developed recently, and they were much closer than before.

"If you use it on me, you will never find me in your life."

"I believe it," Wei Yunzhao said, and added a condition, "Madam, I want to kiss you."

Jiang Lin lowered his head, he thought to himself, were they still not close enough recently?, just for a kiss, so he had to ask for it.

He was more active than Wei Yunzhao, and directly blocked his mouth. The two of them chased and frolicked in the small world, their lips and teeth intertwined until—— they couldn't breathe.

Jiang Lin leaned his head on Wei Yunzhao's shoulder and shared his feelings with him, "It feels strangely comfortable, but every time after that, I'm short of oxygen."

Wei Yunzhao held Jiang Lin's face in his hands, "Then practice more, maybe if we kiss more it will feel better."

Jiang Lin thought it made sense.

"Then why don't we try again?"

Wei Yunzhao naturally wouldn't say no.

So in the name of watching the rice, the two practiced kissing in the room. In the end, Manager Yang who was outside couldn't wait anymore and knocked on the door to call them out.

After  manager Yang entered the room, he found that the mouths of the eldest young master and the young madam were all red, and even their ears were red, as if they had done something shameful in the room.

But very wisely, he didn't say what was in his heart.

Wei Yunzhao talked about the arrangements for these two types of rice, and Jiang Lin quietly went to take out the Xuancheng rice seeds that were hidden in the space last time, and asked Manager Yang to send them to the border.

There were soldiers who had fought side by side with the generals of the Wei family, the people they had guarded and the beautiful scenery of the boundless wilderness.

After manager Yang transported the grain away, Jiang Lin said to Wei Yunzhao, "Take me to the border in the future."

Wei Yunzhao held his hand tightly, "Okay."

In the early morning of the next day, the minister of the Ministry of Industry reported  an incident related to Wei Yunzhao.

The ministers hadn’t heard the surname Wei in the court for a long time.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry said that the rice seeds that could yield nearly a thousand catties per mu were planted on the Wei family's farmhouse, and a farming book was also presented, which was also compiled by Wei Yunzhao.

There were not only methods of farming, but also methods of how to increase yields, how to use one field for multiple purposes, and how to use multiple methods in one field. This agricultural book was presented earlier, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry had read it a long time ago. After reading it, he was surprised. Wei Yunzhao, a military general, was so proficient in farming. If he had been made an agricultural official earlier, the people of Dayue would really have no shortage of food.

Emperor Changde flipped through the agricultural book, and was also surprised, but he couldn't be happy when he saw Wei Yunzhao's signature on it.

This Wei family was like a weed, if he didn't cut weeds and eliminate the roots, he would never disappear forever, and he could find opportunities for him to turn around, even in farming.
