During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

King Yuzhang paused and said, "Go and find the village chief."

"Your Majesty?" Xanthium was a little worried.

King Yuzhang said firmly, "Go ahead. The Queen's shoe factory is nearby. No one will want to kill me here."

Xanthium nodded after hesitating.

King Yuzhang stood by the wheat field, watching the man shouting to his family to bring him a bowl of water, "You must be thirsty when you come here, please drink a bowl of water."

The man is a warm-hearted person and a good conversationalist. In a short time, King Yuzhang even knew the number of people and houses in his family.

King Yuzhang learned from him that a nearby field was owned by the queen, and they were tenants.

"Is there any difference between being a tenant to the Queen and being a tenant to someone else's house?"

"Of course it's different. That's the Queen. Anyone who farms the Queen's land will have the opportunity to work in the Queen's property. Even children's education is subsidized!"

King Yuzhang was shocked, "You mean the Queen encourages your children to study?"

"Of course. Did you see that the two children in my family will be sent to a new nursery to study with the children there? This is a huge kindness. I never dreamed that my My son can still study.”

The man felt indescribably grateful, and his eyes were full of awe for the queen.

Interestingly, she actually thought of letting the tenants' children study. How could the tenants not pay attention to it?

The nursery will definitely be handed over to the court for management in the future, and the court's money will be used to win over one's own hearts. This transaction is not a loss, but I don't know if it is the queen's private behavior or Luo Tingye's idea.

However, the tenants did get a benefit, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

King Yuzhang also has a lot of fields under his name, and he hires tenants to plant them every year, but the tenants in the fields don't have as many smiles as the men on their faces.

It can be seen that the man's family is really happy, which shows that the queen is really good to them.

King Yuzhang suddenly thought of something, "How will the rent be calculated for the land you farm for the Queen?"

"Four-six, isn't everyone like this?"

The man was afraid that King Yuzhang would misunderstand, "It's not that the Queen treats us harshly. If you go out and ask, these are the prices."

King Yuzhang smiled knowingly, "That's strange. The price is the same, but I think your wheat seems to be different."

A proud smile broke out on the man's dark face, "Of course, we use new wheat seeds, and we grow more wheat than others."

"As far as I know, the price of new wheat seeds on the market is not cheap, but you are actually willing to buy it?"

"Of course we are reluctant to part with it, but the Queen is willing to do so. She gave us all our seeds."

The man said: "The Queen also said that we should plant well. If there is a natural disaster, she will reduce our rent depending on the situation and will not let us go hungry."

"You believe it too?"

"Of course I believe it, why not?"

The man was very insistent, his eyes were full of sincerity, and King Yuzhang was stunned for a moment.

Not long after, the village chief followed Xanthium to the edge of the field, arranging his clothes while walking. The tattered clothes had many patches, presumably because of the autumn harvest, he couldn't bear to wear them.

"I am the mayor of Shanwa Village. May I ask who you are?"

"I have no position in the court."

This king? He must be a relative of the emperor.

The village chief thought of something, changed his humble look, and his expression became much stiffer, "I wonder why the prince is here?"

Now even the man felt the village chief's indifference.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? I'm here to see the wheat. Why are you so cold-faced?"

The village chief scolded: "What do you know?"

As he said this, he pulled the man away and said, "You have forgotten those people who came to steal wheat seeds before. He might also be here to steal our wheat."

The man scratched his head, "But he doesn't look like a bad person, and he said he is a relative of the Queen."

"Then we can't look good. The Queen's relatives are the Emperor's relatives. How many good people can the Emperor's relatives be?"

As soon as he heard that he was a relative of the emperor, the man's face darkened. He still held a sickle in his hand and waved it at the two of them, "What on earth do you want to do here? Do you want to steal our wheat?"

King Yuzhang frowned, but always had a well-placed smile on his lips. He stopped Xanthium that was about to step forward, and said in a gentle tone: "Has anyone come to steal your wheat before?"

The village chief saw that he was different from the previous people, "In the spring, someone came to steal our wheat. They were people sent by a certain prince. Many royal relatives also came to steal our wheat before."

Xanthium's face softened a lot, and she said with some schadenfreude: "Aren't you the Queen's tenants? Who has the guts to steal your wheat?"

The man said: "The other party is a relative of the emperor. He said that his own seeds are not enough and insists on changing with us. If we don't change, he will beat us. The queen later found out and came forward to mediate."

"But we can't get those wheat seeds back. There was no other way but the Queen bought the seeds for us with her own money."

The man stared at them fiercely, "Are you in the same group as the people before?"

King Yuzhang did not expect that someone from the royal family would do such a thing.

No wonder the reputation of the royal family is getting worse and worse.

The village chief gave the man a wink, and the man ran away. After a while, he led a group of people to surround King Yuzhang.

Xiangu didn't take these people seriously at all, but King Yuzhang didn't let him take action.

"Village Chief, I'm different from the people who came before. I just passed by here to take a look. I don't mean to steal your seeds. Otherwise, I will pay for them."

"We won't sell it no matter how much money you give us. All the wheat is reserved for the Queen." The man shouted.

The tenants behind him all echoed.

"Whatever price the Queen offers, I will pay twice as much."

The village chief waved his hand, "We won't sell it no matter how much you pay. The Queen is kind to us, and we can't do anything to disgrace her. Please leave quickly. We have already notified the people at the shoe factory. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." ”

King Yuzhang glanced at the expressions of the villagers, stayed in a stalemate for a moment, and then left.

When the people from the shoe factory came, they only saw ruts on the ground, but judging from the descriptions of the villagers, King Yuzhang was right.

The people at the shoe factory didn't bother with the delay and reported the matter to Father Fulin.

Eunuch Fulin thought for a moment, then picked a day when Luo Tingye was in a good mood and told the matter as a joke.

Luo Tingye listened but couldn't help laughing, "The tenant's seeds were forcibly changed. When did it happen?"

Mr. Fulin said, "It's about the beginning of spring."
