Chapter 66 Work hard! When we have a bumper harvest, we'll get you a few more acres of land!
Eunuch Wei's cries shook the heavens!
This naturally alerted Chen Fan.
He suddenly appeared and glanced in the direction the black horse had gone, saying:
"This horse is getting a bit rough... How about we catch it and let you use it for plowing the fields?"
"We don't want it." With tears in his eyes, Eunuch Wei turned his head away as soon as he saw Chen Fan arrive.
He was clearly still angry and hadn't forgotten the beating he received a couple of days ago!
"Don't be like that," Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Our family just wanted to help you out..."
"Nonsense!" Eunuch Wei retorted.
"You're making us plant another ten acres of land...and sweet potatoes no less...you're clearly just trying to profit yourself!"
Chen Fan blushed.
He smiled shyly after being exposed:
"That's really not what we meant..."
snort!
Eunuch Wei turned his head away and remained silent.
Seeing that he couldn't appease the eunuch, Chen Fan raised his fist again.
But then I realized that violence cannot solve the fundamental problem.
He then repeated the phrase from the book:
"Eunuch Wei, broaden your horizons and expand your perspective. If you manage to grow the sweet potatoes well, won't you have a new food source in a couple of days?"
"Not enough!" Eunuch Wei said, his eyes darting around.
"It's too tiring for one person to farm all this land. Father-in-law, could you please find two more people to help?"
"We don't have any people, but we have one horse. That's the bottom line!" Chen Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed.
Looking at that somewhat chilling smile.
Eunuch Wei felt a chill run down his spine.
Not daring to haggle any further, he could only grit his teeth and say:
"Fine, we'll use it for plowing!"
Chen Fan always keeps his word.
After reaching an agreement with Eunuch Wei, he headed straight for the dark horse.
Wait until the person has gone far away.
Eunuch Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
His face darkened, and he suddenly felt a bit aggrieved.
I think the old eunuch is too cruel and bullies people too much!
Eight acres of land wasn't enough, and now they're giving him ten more acres. They're treating him like a slave!
Originally intending to farm here for the rest of his life, Eunuch Wei suddenly felt an urgent need to leave!
hiss…
Just then, the sound of horses neighing came from afar.
When Eunuch Wei took a closer look, he immediately gasped in shock!
All I could see was a mist.
Black Wind kept stealing radishes and elixirs.
Its physique became stronger and stronger, its hair grew thicker and thicker, and its speed increased.
From being as fast as lightning before, it's now even faster than lightning!
After noticing the arrival of the perverted old eunuch.
Black Wind also arrogantly opened its mouth and hissed in provocation!
Upon seeing this, Chen Fan, who was walking over, squinted and smiled:
"Judging from your appearance... you're almost becoming a spirit, aren't you? Can you talk yet?!"
say?
Black Wind shook his head.
Upon seeing the perverted old eunuch before it, it instinctively wanted to flee!
But Chen Fan uttered a single word!
Certainly!
Black Wind was stunned, and suddenly felt his body stiffen on the spot.
Then Chen Fan walked up to the horse, stroked its head, and said jokingly:
"Surprised? We don't need to use hand seals anymore..."
Black Wind looked utterly desperate.
Forced into control, it was then dragged by Chen Fan with one hand and sped wildly into the field!
After a while.
Ground.
After putting the yoke, bridle, and iron bridle on Black Wind, Eunuch Wei cracked his whip and lashed out!
Snapped!
The crisp sound of the whip echoed through the clouds!
hiss!
Black Wind, in pain, also turned red in the eyes and then ran forward wildly!
As the plowshare dug into the soil, furrows quickly appeared on the ten acres of land that had just been moved in.
Seeing this, Chen Fan, who was standing beside the field ridge, nodded to himself.
I thought to myself, Black Wind is quite capable!
Why didn't I think of using it as a draft animal before!
What a waste!
Chen Fan smiled, somewhat moved.
He glanced at the sweet potato field at his feet, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes.
The sweet potatoes were what Eunuch Wei wanted.
Chen Fan discovered this thing by chance.
It's important to know that sweet potatoes grow quickly and reproduce rapidly; you can dig up at least seven or eight potatoes from one batch.
If it were cultivated with spiritual water, the yield would probably be even more astonishing!
On a whim, Chen Fan immediately decided to try a different flavor!
These ten acres of land will be used to grow sweet potatoes!
Thinking about these things.
Chen Fan then headed towards the neighboring medicinal herb field.
Upon closer inspection, these medicinal herbs, such as ginseng, he shou wu, and huang jing, are growing vigorously.
As it matures, the medicinal smell becomes somewhat overpowering!
If Chen Fan's estimation is correct...
In three days at most, the first batch of medicinal herbs in this herb field will be ripe!
Chen Fan plans to take these medicinal herbs to Baicaotang to inquire about their price.
If the price is good, he plans to acquire a few more acres of land to grow medicinal herbs!
Snapped!
Just as Chen Fan was indulging in his daydreams, he heard the sound of a whip cracking in his ear.
Looking up, he saw that Black Wind had already run over to him!
Ten acres is a large circle; that's quite a distance.
With a smile on his face, he nodded and waved:
"Work hard, and when we have a bumper harvest and sell it for a good price, we'll get you a few more acres of land."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wei, who was wielding a whip, remained silent.
I just used more force in my hands!
Black Wind, in pain, was only trying to relieve the pain at an extremely fast pace!
With one person and one horse working at full efficiency, they quickly plowed more than half of the land!
Chen Fan smiled with satisfaction and headed into the mist.
Look up.
More and more red clouds are appearing in the sky.
These things, which have appeared in bowls all over the world, are no longer arranged as neatly as before!
Now, they seem to have taken root and sprouted, and have begun to multiply everywhere!
After observing for a while, Chen Fan still couldn't figure it out.
Since he couldn't understand it, he simply stopped looking at it!
……
It was late at night.
Chen Fan then went to the Imperial Garden.
Tonight, Emperor Jianwen was in high spirits and invited more than a dozen young women to dance here.
Chen Fan, who happened to be passing by, also stopped to appreciate the art.
But as he watched, he inevitably overheard some things he shouldn't have heard.
For example, Emperor Jianwen told the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard that if a certain prince disobeyed, he could execute him first and report later.
For example, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard told Emperor Jianwen that the formation masters had arrived and were ready to act at any time!
Although Chen Fan didn't know what the two people were talking about.
But he could tell that things were about to get chaotic in Dayuan!
Tired of listening, Chen Fan headed towards the library.
Under the soft glow of the moon.
The library was filled with the chirping of insects.
It was mid-summer, and the night breeze felt especially refreshing on my face.
Chen Fan smiled upon arriving at the place and stepped into the house with an air of nonchalance.
He glanced at Xiao Chenzi, who was already asleep, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Father-in-law, you haven't come for three days... I'm so bored!"
I just entered the house.
The fourteenth prince, Xiao Wu, came down the stairs.
He hadn't seen the old eunuch for three days and missed him somewhat.
I don't know why.
Every time Xiao Wu saw this old eunuch, he always felt a sense of closeness to him.
It's as if there's an aura about him that makes people want to get closer.
"Have you been reading lately?"
Chen Fan squinted and nodded.
He, who looked like a schoolteacher, came to the table.
"I saw it...I saw it...it's all here!"
Xiao Wu picked up the books on the table one by one and said:
"Father-in-law, I still haven't found the golden house you mentioned in the book. Where is it?"
"We don't know either!" Chen Fan said with a squinty smile.
"Huh? Father-in-law, you don't know and you still let me see this?" Xiao Wu was a little confused!
"That's what others say about our family too," Chen Fan said with a smile.
