Li Yunze told him what happened during this period.
"Uncle, I have promised Song Yichen that I will escort them back to Fengcheng the day after tomorrow, so I can't stay here anymore."
Lin Zixian didn't agree with his approach, "Ping An, don't be too hasty, you have to take your time with some things.
Although the Song family in Fengcheng is the head of the four major families, it is not important enough for you to take such a big risk. "
"Uncle, I'm not just doing this to win over the Song family. Song Yichen and I are sworn brothers. Now that we know what happened to his sister, we can't just stand by and watch."
"But this is not a matter of helping hands? It's a long way from here to Fengcheng. How can the Fang family let Song Yichen and his sister return to Fengcheng safely?"
Lin Zixian was very worried about his nephew's safety. He didn't want Ping An to make this trip.
But he also knows this kid's temper. He can't dissuade him from anything he believes in. He has been like this since he was a child.
I still remember that when he was seven or eight years old, he secretly visited the capital by himself.
He beat him once when he found out, but the kid didn't change at all and still went his own way.
Even a playboy like him knows where to find delicious food and fun places in the capital.
They also went alone to enjoy the lanterns, visit temple fairs, watch cockfights, and scurry wherever the excitement was.
Sometimes even Master Wuchen couldn't look at him, and he was punished for this.
Ye Yutong did not interrupt, ate the snacks on the table, and listened to the two people talking with a smile.
Li Yunze smiled and comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me."
Lin Zixian glared at him, then sighed and said, "When will you leave the day after tomorrow? I will send someone to escort you."
Li Yunze thought for a while and said, "Uncle, how many people do you have here?"
"Not counting the clerks in the store and the servants at home, there are sixty-eight guards, all of whom are experts."
"Then I'll take ten away."
Li Yunze was afraid that the Fang family would jump over the wall in a hurry, so he sent many killers there, but he couldn't take care of it alone.
The eldest brother and Tongtong have no problem dealing with ordinary guards, but if they are experts, it will be difficult for them to protect themselves.
Coupled with the Song Yichen brother and sister who don't know martial arts, this journey may be a bit difficult.
"Ten is too few. You can take thirty with you. I have nothing to do here and don't need that many people. If you don't come today, I'm going to send some people to the mountains to help."
"Okay then! Uncle, ask them to leave the city tomorrow night and wait on the official road in Fengcheng."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements later."
Li Yunze told him about going to the capital again, "I came out this time to visit the Marquis of Dingbei. I have reached an agreement with him, and he has almost arrived in Anyang County now."
Lin Zixian asked in surprise: "Ping An, have you really convinced Dingbei Hou?"
“When I went to see him, he wasn’t too surprised, as if he had expected that I would go.
But will he be of use to us in the future? It's hard to say now, I just want him to remain neutral. "
Li Yunze paused for a moment, and then said calmly: "Uncle, instead of placing our hopes on others, it is better for us to recruit our own troops and recruit horses reliably.
As for Dingbei Hou, if he is smart, he should know how to choose what is beneficial to him. If he dares to defect to Li Yunkai and Li Yunhao, then I will personally go to Anyang County to deal with him. "
Lin Zixian nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else. I will order you to go down tomorrow and let Zhuangzi below accept some refugees."
Ye Yutong saw that the two of them had almost finished talking about the business, so he put down the tea cup in his hand and took out the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum contained in his satchel.
He smiled and said, "Uncle, we found these two ginseng plants and a Ganoderma lucidum plant on the mountain. Ping An and I brought some to replenish your health."
"Hey, why is this ginseng so big? And why is this Ganoderma lucidum purple?"
Lin Zixian held it in his hand and looked at it curiously. He had heard people in the world talking about purple Ganoderma lucidum before, but he had never seen it before.
"Uncle, this is not ordinary ginseng and Ganoderma. Don't give it away. Keep it for yourself. Eat it twice a month. Cut it off a little each time and make chicken soup. That's the best effect."
Li Yunze was afraid that he would ruin a good thing, so he whispered in his ear:
"The ginseng and purple reishi were found by tigers. They grow on the top of the highest mountain, and there are many large beasts guarding them. Some time ago, we stewed a pot of chicken soup with ginseng. After I drank it, my internal energy improved that night. Promoted."
"Is it that magical?"
Li Yunze nodded solemnly, "Uncle, it's true. Don't forget to eat it. If you keep it for a long time, the effect will not be so good."
Without saying a word, Lin Zixian gave him the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum: "Then you can keep them to eat. I'm strong and don't need these."
Ye Yutong then said with a smile: "Uncle, there are still a lot of them in that place. Ping An and I dug up a few big ones, and let the rest grow there. We can go and dig them whenever we need them in the future."
When Lin Zixian heard what his nephew-in-law said, he accepted it with confidence.
Ye Yutong asked again: "Uncle, how long can the food here last?"
"I have enough here to last for two years. Do you want to use it? I still have a lot of it stored in various stores. I'll have it delivered to you."
He has not sold the grain in the past few years. The cellars of every village are full, all prepared for Ping An.
"Uncle, we don't need food for the time being. What Tongtong means is that if you don't have enough food here, we will bring you a few more carts tomorrow night."
"Have you brought food here from the mountains?"
Lin Zixian received a letter from Lin Zhong some time ago, saying that Ping An and his wife rescued a businessman from the Western Regions.
The man gave them several high-yield seeds as gifts, which are now being planted on the mountain.
Li Yunze shook his head, "They were not brought down from the mountain. We encountered a caravan two days ago. It was the Western Region businessman that Tongtong and I rescued last year.
He brought a lot of good things again this time, and I was ready to buy them all.
The seeds were planted in his uncle's village, and some of them were given to the Qin magistrate, asking him to find a place to plant them. The harvested grain was supplied to the soldiers under Dingbei Hou. "
Lin Zixian asked in surprise: "I received a letter from Lin Zhong some time ago. It said that you have a high yield of grain, and one acre of land can produce several thousand kilograms. I was skeptical at first, thinking that Lin Zhong wrote it wrong. Isn’t this true?”
"It's true. Sweet potatoes and potatoes can produce more than 3,000 catties per acre. Wheat and rice are not so much. The yield per acre should be about 1,000 catties.
These seeds not only have a high yield, but are also of excellent quality. Tongtong and I brought some today for you to try. "
The yield of the same seeds in the space is more than twice as high as outside.
One acre of sweet potatoes can yield 8,000 to 10,000 jins in space, but only 3,000 to 4,000 jins outside.
The same is true for potatoes and wheat, with lower yields than other crops.
Li Yunze thought, this should be the difference between the fairy world and the mortal world.
