Chapter 773 Report

When Tang Wan learned that Lord Tan had come to inquire, she simply smiled faintly and said nothing.

Good things can't be hidden, but maximizing their value requires careful planning.

Right now, the most important thing is to preserve it properly.

These past few days have been busy. The War King has already arrived in the capital, and Tang Wan has not been able to contact Er Ya.

Thinking of these two crops, Tang Wan decided to contact Er Ya.

High-yield crops are a major event for the country and its people. Given our current situation, we cannot send the message directly to the Heavenly Court. But the War King is different. As the Emperor's own son, he is the only one who can deliver the message.

With this in mind, Tang Wan didn't delay any longer and immediately contacted Er Ya.

Er Ya responded quickly: "Master! I'm here! What are your orders?"

"Is the Prince of War in the manor? I have something important to tell Your Highness." Tang Wan cut straight to the point.

“The War King has entered the palace and is not in the manor at the moment. If you need anything, Master, please inform Er Ya. I will relay the message as soon as the War King returns!” Er Ya’s tone immediately became extremely serious.

Tang Wan paused for a moment, then continued, "Alright, since the Prince is not here, let's wait for him to return. Tell him that the newly planted 'corn' and 'potatoes' at home have yielded a bumper harvest. These two crops are drought-resistant, their yield far exceeds that of millet, and they are also easy to store. If they can be promoted, they could greatly benefit the people's livelihood. Your Highness, please consider whether you may report this matter to the emperor."

Tang Wan simply listed the advantages of the two crops, without demanding that the War King submit a report, and she also intended to discuss it with the War King.

After all, the War King naturally knows the current emperor better than I do.

Whether it's suitable to present it or not, the War King will surely offer a more reasonable suggestion.

Er Ya listened attentively and carefully wrote down everything Tang Wan said.

After hearing Tang Wan's words, Er Ya immediately replied, "Master, Er Ya understands what you mean. I will definitely relay it to the War King without missing a single word! However, the War King was summoned to the palace early this morning and has not yet returned to his residence. The palace is filled with dragon energy, so Er Ya cannot enter directly. I can only wait for the War King to return to his residence before reporting to him."

“Alright, this matter isn’t urgent. We can inform the Prince of War when he returns to his residence,” Tang Wan replied understandingly.

This matter is not urgent and there's no rush to get it done right now. Besides, even if we were in a hurry, we wouldn't be able to see anyone anyway.

Given Er Ya's condition, even the War King is reluctant to get too close to her, let alone go to the palace.

That place was a disaster for her.

Now her cultivation has improved a lot. If it were the original mission of protecting the War King, Er Ya would not have been able to accept it.

After all, it's uncomfortable to get close to them, so how can I protect them?

"Yes! Don't worry, Master, Er Ya will report to the Prince as soon as he returns to the manor!" Er Ya replied solemnly.

After losing contact, Tang Wan went about her business while patiently waiting.

Sure enough, Er Ya contacted him in less than half a day.

At that moment, Tang Wan was checking the storage of potatoes and corn in the warehouse when she heard Er Ya's urgent voice in her mind: "Master, is Master there?"

"Are you there? Go ahead!" Tang Wan's calm voice rang out.

Er Ya's voice was excited: "Master! Good news! The Prince is back! I have reported everything you said to him!" Tang Wan pressed on: "What did His Highness say?"

Er Ya replied solemnly, "The War King instructed me to immediately tell you that he had just returned to the capital to meet the Emperor a few days ago and had already reported to the Emperor about the Tang family's successful trial planting of a new high-yield crop and the resulting bumper harvest!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wan's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected the War King to act so swiftly!

Er Ya continued, "The War King said that the Emperor was overjoyed upon hearing this! Especially after hearing that the new crop is drought-resistant and high-yielding, he immediately attached great importance to it! The War King instructed his subordinates to tell the Master that the Emperor has issued an imperial edict, sending a special envoy to the Tang family in the northern desert to inspect these two items on-site and to commend and reward them! The imperial edict will probably arrive in the northern desert soon!"

After hearing Er Ya's account, even Tang Wan, usually calm and collected, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. Things were progressing more smoothly and quickly than she had anticipated! The strong support of the War King and the Emperor's high regard meant that the promotion of corn and potatoes had already taken its first solid step!
She took a deep breath and said to Er Ya, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Er Ya."

After ending the call, Tang Wan walked out of the warehouse.

She had intended to tell her father the good news, but then she thought that if she told him now, he would definitely become suspicious.

After thinking it over, Tang Wan decided to go see her father.

Although he is now in charge of the household, it is still very necessary for his father, as the head of the family, to know about this matter so that the family can make preparations in advance.

She arrived at the main house, stepped forward, and bowed, saying, "Father."

Tang Bojun was practicing calligraphy in his small study. He put down his brush and said gently, "Wan'er is here. Is everything settled in the storeroom?"

"Everything has been arranged properly, Father, please rest assured," Tang Wan replied calmly.

After a pause, Tang Wan continued, "I came to report something to Father. I think the harvest of corn and potatoes is of great importance. Therefore, when the harvest began, I sent someone to the War Prince's Mansion to deliver the message. If the message travels quickly, the War Prince should have already received the news."

Upon hearing this, Tang Bojun's expression became more serious. He had originally intended to find an opportunity to report it.

We just haven't decided which channel to report it through yet.

If we report this to the Prince of War, he will surely report the facts truthfully, which will save us some trouble.

Speaking of which, Wan'er originally said that her family had a chance to return to the capital. I wonder if this can be considered an opportunity.

Therefore, Tang Bojun gestured for Tang Wan to continue.

Tang Wan carefully chose her words and replied cautiously, "Since the Prince of War knows that the trial planting was successful and the yield was good, I think that with the Prince's knowledge, he should report this matter to the emperor. Perhaps the court will hear about it soon."

Tang Bojun is such a perceptive person!
Although Tang Wan did not say definitively that she had submitted a report to the court, Tang Bojun knew that since the message had been sent to the War King, it was highly likely that the matter had reached the Emperor's ears!

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "You have considered this very thoroughly. If it can reach the ears of the Emperor, it would indeed be a good thing. Prince Zhan is upright and incorruptible, and cares deeply about the country. If he learns of this, he will certainly not ignore it."

He didn't ask for details, but instead affirmed his daughter's actions.

If I could use this opportunity to return to Beijing, that would be even better.

What he longed for most was when he could return to the capital. Although life in the northern desert was acceptable, it was far from the center of power and would not benefit his family in any way, let alone the next generation.

Tang Bojun paced back and forth in the room, his tone becoming increasingly solemn: "If that is indeed the case, then my Tang family must be cautious in our words and actions, and await the imperial decree. These spoils must be properly preserved, and no mishaps are to be tolerated."

Seeing that her father understood, Tang Wan said no more, but replied, "I understand. More people have been assigned to guard the warehouse. Father, please rest assured."
