Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 41 The Birth of the First Child

Seeing the excited crowd, Lu Chen smiled. He believed that after seeing the potato yield, these people had already considered planting potatoes.

After all, compared to potatoes, wheat yields are far too low.

At this moment, Lu Chen spoke up to the surrounding crowd, saying, "Quiet down!"

After the Northern King spoke, the people immediately fell silent.

Their eyes were fixed on Lu Chen, as if hungry wolves had spotted their prey.

They are now very curious to know if the Northern King will distribute the seeds of this plant to the people.

After the crowd quieted down, Lu Chen spoke up: "The grain you see is called potato. It can be used as a staple food. As for the yield, you've seen it for yourself."

"I have decided to distribute some potatoes to the people for trial planting, and those who plant potatoes will not be required to pay agricultural taxes for two years."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the people erupted in excitement once again.

They never expected that the Northern King would actually give them this miraculous grain to try planting, and even exempt them from agricultural taxes for two years.

At this moment, some people couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow to Lu Chen repeatedly.

Seeing the excitement of the people, Lu Chen knew that there shouldn't be too much of a problem with the promotion of potatoes. In a few years, if there are no natural disasters or man-made calamities in Beijun, then Beijun will most likely not have such a severe food crisis as it does now.

Just then, as Lu Chen was about to say something, the system notification sounded.

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining your first offspring! You have been rewarded with 5,000 Imperial Guards, two Grandmaster-level commanders, and weapon forging technology.]

The more offspring the host has, the more valuable the rewards will be, including but not limited to various modern technologies, factories, and even industrial production lines.

Hearing the sudden system voice, Lu Chen was stunned. He hadn't expected that he would have a child so soon after leaving the Prince's mansion.

However, it's obvious without even thinking that Mu Zixuan gave birth.

Just then, as he was about to hurry back to the Prince's residence, a guard from the Prince's residence rode up on horseback and excitedly shouted, "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Princess Consort is about to give birth! Madam Chu wants you to return immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen said to Li Feng without hesitation, "General Li, I'll leave the rest to you. I need to go back and see the Princess."

Li Feng naturally understood the importance of the princess bearing children. Having children meant that the Northern Prince's Mansion would have a bloodline to continue. He immediately said, "Your Highness, please go back with peace of mind. I will have the soldiers dig up the potatoes as soon as possible."

Lu Chen didn't say anything more and then got into the carriage.

at the same time.

A tavern in Yancheng, Beijun.

The tavern owner was standing at the counter, tapping away on his abacus.

Suddenly, his mind went blank as a flood of information rushed into his head.

The tavern owner was immediately shocked. He turned to look in the direction of the Northern Prince's Mansion, his face filled with disbelief.

The tavern owner muttered to himself, "It was him? No wonder, no wonder."

"Looks like I'm going to be busy from now on."

At this point, the tavern owner put down his abacus and began to change his clothes.

Almost at the same time.

Beijing.

The restaurant that the Eighth Prince frequented most was also owned by the restaurant's owner.

He was about to personally greet today's distinguished guests when he suddenly froze on the spot, a look of disbelief on his face.

He then muttered to himself, "If it's that prince, then my mission is probably coming soon. I guess I need to prepare in advance."

……

On his way back to the Prince's Mansion, Lu Chen opened the system and glanced at the rewards he had just received.

"System, where are these five thousand Imperial Guards now? What is their strength?"

Lu Chen never expected that one of the rewards he would receive after having offspring would be a group of people. He thought the system would reward him with a batch of modern weapons.

At this moment, a system notification sound will be heard.

[These 5,000 Imperial Guards are currently distributed across various counties and prefectures of the Great Xia Dynasty. Their lowest rank is fifth grade, while the heads of the four major agencies and the five commanders of the Imperial Guards are all at the ninth grade. In addition, the loyalty of the subordinates obtained by the host through the system is 100%, and the host possesses an implanted identity in this world.]

Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Chen asked curiously, "How did those people know I was a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

[This is the power of this system. The host can understand it as this system implanting a special set of memories into them, keeping the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard organization running until their true master appears.]

Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Chen couldn't help but marvel at the system's power.

[Your personal information has been received by all members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Currently, there are 300 Embroidered Uniform Guards in Beijun, including one commander, one captain, the head of the Criminal Justice Department, the head of the Investigation Department, the captain of the Outer Depot, and the captain of the Inner Depot. They will all be on their way to the Prince's Mansion to report the intelligence to you as soon as possible.]

[Does the host need to recall the Imperial Guards outside of Beijun?]

After seeing the system notification, Lu Chen asked, "Can I communicate with them remotely?"

No, but the host has the authority to recall once.

Lu Chen understood what the system meant. If he wanted to recall all the Embroidered Uniform Guards, they would be able to receive messages from the system; this was the system's capability.

But why did he recall all the Imperial Guards?

The purpose of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is to monitor officials and collect intelligence. If they are recalled, what kind of Embroidered Uniform Guard would they be?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said, "No need, just let them stay put."

[The Imperial Guards outside Beijun have received the host's order to remain in place.]

……

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Lu Chen immediately went to Mu Zixuan's delivery room.

At this moment, Mu Zixuan was pale, covered in sweat, and looked extremely weak.

Upon seeing Lu Chen return, Mu Zixuan tried to get out of bed, but Lu Chen quickly went over to help her and said, "My dear consort, you should lie down and rest."

At this moment, the midwife brought the child to Lu Chen and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, the Princess has given birth to a prince for you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately glanced at the baby in the midwife's arms and nervously took the baby into his own hands.

The newborn baby was very small and ugly, but Lu Chen didn't feel disgusted at all, after all, it was his own child.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin reminded him, "Chen'er, you haven't named the child yet. Let's give him a name now."

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Let's call him Lu Changfeng."

"Changfeng" can be understood as a continuous wind, symbolizing strength, vitality, and hope.

Lu Chen hopes that his first child will grow up positively and achieve great things in the future.

After spending some time with Mu Zixuan in the delivery room, Lu Chen left to prepare for his upcoming meeting with the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

As soon as she stepped out of the delivery room, Chu Yuqin asked, "Chen'er, what were you doing just now?"

Mu Zixuan is about to give birth, but Lu Chen is not at the palace, which means he must have something very important to do.

Lu Chen replied, "The potatoes are ripe. I just went to check on General Li and the others digging them."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Is it the kind of potato you gave us last time?"

Chu Yuqin and the other women in the inner courtyard of the Prince's mansion had all seen potatoes and even tasted them.

After Lu Chen introduced potatoes to Chu Yuqin, she realized their importance to Beijun.

Lu Chen nodded.

Chu Yuqin continued, "How's the potato yield?"

Lu Chen replied, "The yield is two thousand kilograms per mu."

Upon hearing this answer, Chu Yuqin froze on the spot. Although Lu Chen had told her before that the potato yield would be large, she had not expected it to be this large.

If potatoes can be widely adopted, the people of Beijun will probably never have to go hungry again, and the prestige of the Northern King will rise rapidly.

Seeing that Chu Yuqin seemed surprised by the potato yield, Lu Chen said mysteriously, "Aunt Chu, you're already surprised? There's something even more surprising waiting for you later."

No sooner had Lu Chen finished speaking than a guard from the Prince's residence rushed over and said, "Your Highness, Madam Chu, something terrible has happened! A group of martial artists dressed in strange attire have arrived outside the Prince's residence!"
