You, a tyrannical ruler, roam the heavens; you cannot understand my joy.

The mental illness seems to be improving. I'm locking in every update of "Wandering the Heavens as a Tyrant, You Don't Understand My Happiness".

It was noon, and the sun was blazing.

The cobblestone streets in the nearby town were bleached white by the heat.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, lined with shops on both sides, and the stalls along the street were filled with a dazzling array of goods, with vendors calling out their wares incessantly.

"This town isn't big, but it's quite lively."

Jiang Yuyan followed behind Lu Zuo, surveying the town's environment, and made a soft comment.

Lu Zuo nodded: "After all, it's located near the interior of the pass, so there are many merchants coming and going, making the town lively."

"what?"

"Candied hawthorn?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Yuyan was drawn to a stall selling candied hawthorns. She quickly walked over and asked, "How much is a skewer?"

"Ten coins."

Jiang Yuyan handed over ten copper coins: "Two strings, please."

The boss probably saw that she was pretty, so he took the two largest ones and gave her the syrup.

Jiang Yuyan reached out and took the skewer, handing one to Lu Zuo: "Young master, please have some."

Lu Zuo took the candied hawthorn, took a bite, and asked, "When did you exchange it for copper coins?"

After entering Liaodong territory, Lu Zuo gave her a sum of money, not much, just two hundred taels.

But even the smallest denomination is broken silver.

"I exchanged it with Yin Qiniang at the inn."

Jiang Yuyan took a bite, a satisfied smile instantly appearing on her face. She squinted her eyes and said, "I've been terrified of poverty since I was a child, and I wouldn't dare to spend money as lavishly as you, young master."

"Take candied hawthorns as an example..."

She paused slightly, then added, "When I was little, I had to pester my mother for a long time before I could eat a skewer."

Lu Zuo paused for a moment, then walked to Jiang Yuyan's side: "Is there anything else you'd like to eat? It's on me!"

Jiang Yuyan smiled and said, "The money I have was given to me by the young master. Whether you treat me or I treat you, it's all the same, isn't it?"

"but……"

"Since you're treating us, young master..."

She pointed to a stall in the distance: "I want to eat wontons."

"Walk."

.......

A short while later, the two arrived at the wonton stall and chose to sit at the square table furthest inside.

"Boss, two bowls."

"Alright, please wait a moment, sir."

Wearing an apron, the owner, who looked to be in his forties, stood in front of a large, boiling pot, dropping the wrapped wontons into it.

After it was cooked, it was put into a bowl, sprinkled with chopped green onions and cilantro, drizzled with sesame oil, and after consulting the two people, some chili oil was poured on top before it was served.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir."

Lu Zuo suddenly remembered that he should take some chili seeds back with him before he left, as this rare item could also increase the income of the people of Nantong.

In fact, many historical records are sufficient to prove that chili peppers were not introduced from the West.

Lu Zuo had seen wild chili peppers in the mountains of Chen State, but there were not many of them, so they could not be cultivated on a large scale.

It's not just chili peppers; many other species and knowledge are gradually proving to have been deliberately distorted by certain individuals.

This has led to the common misconception that everything originates in the West and that modern science originated there.

After time-traveling, Lu Zuo discovered that many inventions that were clearly from the West in modern times existed before the Tang Dynasty was established.

This shows just how badly those maggots have damaged Chinese civilization.

Wang Mang's invention of the vernier caliper was a perfectly normal phenomenon, yet people mistook it for the work of a "time traveler"...

There's another thing that Lu Zuo only learned after he traveled through time.

Before the Xia and Shang dynasties, the Chinese nation already possessed a highly developed civilization. The level of civilization was already very high during the time of the Yellow Emperor and even the time of Fuxi.

However, because historical records were burned and altered by those maggots, they have led to the perception in most people that "the ancient Chinese nation was a primitive tribe, and they were all primitive people."

After thinking for a while, Lu Zuo looked up at the opposite side and saw Jiang Yuyan scoop up a wonton and gently blow on it.

The wonton wrappers were so thin you could see the meat filling inside. She carefully bit off a corner, and the heat escaped. She then ate it bite by bite, very carefully.

"Huh, it's her again?"

After eating one, Jiang Yuyan's gaze fell on a woman on the street.

Lu Zuo turned around and saw the sword-wielding woman he had seen at the black market.

Her skin was as white as snow, her face as red as cinnabar, her eyebrows as delicate as smoke, her eyes clear, her lips a touch of rosy hue, and her jet-black hair swept aside like clouds.

The snow-white long dress hugged her curvaceous figure, making her look even more graceful and charming.

This woman's gaze was icy cold, like two sharp knives, and her whole being exuded an arrogant aura that said, "Everyone here is trash."

"She's really beautiful..."

After the woman walked away, Jiang Yuyan muttered something under her breath and continued eating her wontons.

Lu Zuo smiled and said, "She is quite pretty, but she's a bit old."

"Besides, she's not as good-looking as you."

Jiang Yuyan paused slightly in her grip on the soup spoon, glanced at Lu Zuo with her beautiful eyes, and then continued eating.

.......

Lu Zuo also took a rare break. After finishing the wontons, the two of them bought various snacks on the street.

Examples include: cheese tarts, fruit-filled chilled cakes, roasted chestnuts, and honey-glazed taro rings...

When they found an inn to stay at in the evening, the innkeeper thought they were peddlers.

……

dong dong dong...

About half an hour after Lu Zuo entered his room, there was a knock on the door.

She changed into a light blue silk dress, her eyebrows were newly painted, and her lips were stained with rouge. Her usually plain face now had a captivating brightness under the light blush.

Is this a carefully made-up look?

"Yu Yan, is there something you need?"

Lu Zuo found it strange that she had dressed up so carefully late at night and was now knocking on his door. What did she want?

"Young master..."

Jiang Yuyan stepped in, gently closed the door, and said softly, "I'll be leaving tomorrow, and I don't know how long it will be before we meet again."

"I have no way to repay your life-saving grace."

At this point, she suddenly leaned closer, wrapping her arms around Lu Zuo's neck, her eyes brimming with desire as she gazed into his eyes: "Tonight, let Yu Yan repay you, young master..."

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The morning light filtered through the window, casting a thin layer of light in.

"Um......"

With a soft moan, Jiang Yuyan's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes, her pupils still veiled with a misty, watery light.

Her dark hair was spread out on the pillow like ink splashed on the ground, with a few strands clinging to her slightly flushed cheeks, making her skin appear dazzlingly white.

She unconsciously hummed softly, her voice hoarse and soft as if she had just woken up. She stretched her arm out from under the covers, lazily wanting to rub her eyes, but found that there was no one beside her.

Lu Zuo had already left, but a letter remained by her pillow.

Jiang Yuyan straightened up, sat on the couch, took the letter, and opened and read it.

The letter mostly contained messages from Lu Zuo telling her to live a good life.

At the end, a few words were left out, telling her to practice martial arts diligently, develop her power, and so on...

"Young master, don't worry."

Jiang Yuyan put away the letter, her gaze fixed on the doorway, and murmured, "Yuyan will definitely not let you down!"

.......

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After leaving the town, Lu Zuo found a secluded spot at the foot of a mountain, took out Wang Lingguan's patrol token, and was about to infuse it with true essence when he suddenly felt something strange.

His eyes sharpened, and he turned around to see a woman in white walking towards him from over a hundred feet away.

"It's her again..."

Could this woman be after me?

Just as Lu Zuo was pondering, the woman lightly touched the ground with her toes and shot forward like a fleeting glimpse of a startled swan. In just a few breaths, she had already traversed a hundred feet and landed in front of him.

Clang!

A clear, resonant sword cry rang out, and the woman drew her longsword, pointing the blade at Lu Zuo: "Show me your weapon."

Lu Zuo frowned slightly and looked at the woman: "Do we have a grudge?"

The woman responded coldly, "No."

"Then why did you challenge me to a fight?"

"Let's have a friendly exchange."

She paused slightly, then said, "To prove that my strength is above yours."

You're sick!

Lu Zuo ignored her and turned to leave, saying, "Then there's no need to compete. I admit you won."

"How dare you treat me so perfunctorily?"

The woman's eyebrows furrowed, her gaze sharpened, and she instantly became one with her sword, thrusting straight at Lu's left shoulder acupoint!

Love Massage!

Lu Zuo shifted his body to the side, dodging the fierce sword strike, and then reached out and clapped his hands, a pink light flowing out from his palm.

The woman's cultivation was not much inferior to Lu Zuo's. She twisted her body in mid-air and avoided his move.

but……

But a pinkish light brushed against her shoulder, and a trace of it seeped into her body...

bang.

"this……"

The woman stumbled, her long sword falling to the ground, and her skin instantly flushed crimson, as if she had just been in a sauna.

"What...what did you do to me?"

"It's nothing, just wanted to bring you a little joy."

Lu Zuo smiled faintly and immediately turned and left.

"you……!"

"Come back!"

The woman tried to get up and chase after him, but found her body tingling and weak. She had barely taken a step when she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

She tried to use her internal energy to expel the trace of evil feeling within her body, but...

I'm also a little reluctant to part with it.

"asshole!"

"How could such a bizarre and sinister technique exist in this world?"

"Just who is this Lu Zuo?"

"Hello!"

"Come back!"

She called out to the tall, upright figure in the distance, but the person ignored her completely and disappeared from her sight in an instant.

"You bastard!"

"You bastard!"

"I'm not done with you yet!"

……

A short while later, in the prefectural governor's mansion in the Tang Dynasty.

Shen Luoyan picked up a corn kernel, looked at Lu Zuo in the main seat, and asked with a smile, "My lord, what's this new little thing?"

"This crop is called corn, and it is a high-yield crop."

"You should immediately organize a team of experienced farmers to select a good plot of land and cultivate it carefully."

High-yield crops?

Shen Luoyan paused for a moment, then asked, "Sir, how high is the yield of this corn? How many shi (a unit of dry measure) can it produce per mu (a unit of land area)?"

"Um……"

Lu Zuo pondered for a moment and replied, "Under normal circumstances, a yield of 6 shi per mu is not a problem."

"With good fertilizer and soil, it is not impossible to achieve a yield of 8 shi or even 10 shi per mu."

what?

Shen Luoyan's beautiful eyes widened instantly!

Nowadays, the maximum yield of grain is only 3 shi per mu (a Chinese unit of area, approximately 0.165 acres)...

There were two, or even three times as much, corn.
