As expected, Mu Yunchao sent his own people to harvest potatoes, just to weigh the yield more accurately.
"What do you want?" Mu Yunchao suddenly asked Zhou Shichu, looking at the harvest in front of him.
Zhou Shichu was not polite to him and said directly: "I want fame, I want profit, and I want a status that won't be bullied by anyone in the future."
Mu Yunchao laughed when he heard this and said: "I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous. I thought you would say you didn't want anything. It's just that you couldn't bear the people in the world to starve, so you donated these new grains."
Zhou Shichu rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not a saint, and I don't have such great ideas. You look down on me. I'm just a layman, greedy for money and sex, and don't want to be subordinated or oppressed by others, so I have no choice but to do it myself." Earn an identity and become a master."
Mu Yunchao still smiled and said: "I am just a poor general now. I can barely afford to feed my own soldiers. Why do you think I can give you fame, wealth and status? Are you afraid that if I lose in the end, you will lose all your money?" No return?"
Zhou Shichu said: "I'm not asking you to cash in these rewards now. I'll wait until you complete your unification and hegemony before giving them to me. As for whether you will lose? Are you, General Mu, so unsure of yourself? You think you won't be able to cash them in the future. These promises?”
Zhou Shichu sighed and said, "Then I can only admit that I am unlucky."
After hearing her words, Mu Yunchao burst into laughter and said, "It seems that in order to prevent Mrs. Zhou from failing in your investment, I have to win!"
Zhou Shichu nodded: "I hope you won't turn your back and deny it, or come up with some cunning rabbit or lackey to wipe out the credit of me, an ordinary woman, and take it for yourself."
Mu Yunchao's face suddenly became solemn, and he solemnly said to Zhou Shichu: "Mrs. Zhou, please rest assured, Mu is not such a wolf-hearted person. Mrs. Zhou has donated such important new grains, how can I erase it?" What is your credit? How should I face the people of this world?"
"I hope you can remember what you said now when you become the founding emperor." Zhou Shichu said lightly. Her words just now were actually meant to be probing. Although Mu Yunchao is a male protagonist with good character, Wan What if he wants to use new grains to create an image of himself as the "Chosen One"? Then maybe he can really take the credit for himself and erase the existence of Zhou Shichu.
Fortunately, that option didn't seem to cross his mind, and we'll see what happens at the beginning of that week.
With the promotion of the ruler Mu Yunchao, potato seeds and sweet potato seeds were quickly distributed to farmers and started planting for the next season.
At the beginning, farmers were naturally full of doubts about these two new grains and did not dare to plant them at all. However, the government promised that if the yield of these new grains was lower than the previous yield of rice, the government would compensate the farmers for their losses; if The yield of this new grain is too high for farmers to eat all by themselves, and the government has promised to recycle the new grain at cost price.
In this way, the farmers no longer have any worries and can obediently plant new grains.
Zhou Shichu sent experienced farmers from his farms to teach the people how to plant new crops, teach them how to fertilize, when to weed and catch insects, and when to harvest...
Because this is not the job of those farmers, Mu Yunchao also gave farmers who became "agricultural instructors" a salary, which made those farmers more motivated and wished that such good things would happen to them every day. .
Mu Yunchao was indeed a man of his word. He could not give Zhou Shichu any benefits or status for the time being, but he could still give him a name, so he promoted it from the beginning as a new grain species discovered and cultivated by Zhou Shichu, and Zhou Shichu's name spread rapidly. Among the common people, her popularity skyrocketed, and even her food shop business became more popular than before.
Even in this world without any spiritual power, Zhou Shichu could feel the merit in her soul rising sharply, making her soul feel as if it were immersed in warm water, making her whole soul tremble with comfort.
Sure enough, this kind of contribution to cultivating new grains and saving the world's common people made a lot of money. Zhou Shichu was very satisfied. After this world, her companionship space will definitely be greatly expanded.
A few months later, the new grain harvest was great. Zhou Shichu was immediately enshrined on the altar by the people, built a shrine for her, and called her the Grain Mother.
After Zhou Shichu learned from his cheap sister that he had been given this weird name, he immediately exploded: Lady Grain Mother? What the hell is this? Is there anything uglier than this name?
Zhou Shichu regretted that she should not have such a good reputation and let Mu Yunchao say that she was the one who donated new grain seeds, giving her such a title.
But it's useless to regret, it's too late, the people have long since called the Grain Mother and fled away.
Ever since Liu Yan learned that Zhou Shichu was the one who donated new grain seeds, she could no longer suppress her inner anxiety and uneasiness. She remembered that there was obviously no such thing as new grain seeds in her previous life. If there had been, it would have been impossible. It didn't reach her ears, and after Mu Yunchao became the founding emperor, he didn't promote any new grain varieties. It can be seen that there were no new grain varieties in his previous life.
But now, there are new grain seeds with extremely high constants, which were donated by Zhou Shichu. Liu Yan knows the importance of new grain seeds, because not only Zhou Shichu remembers the drought and famine next year, she also remembers it.
For this reason, she even privately bought back batches of grain like ants moving, preparing to help her husband solve his problems when the drought hits next year.
But she didn't expect that Zhou Shichu directly donated two high-yielding new grain varieties. This was much smarter and more effective than her clumsy act of buying grain. This made Liu Yan feel frustrated. Why was Zhou Shichu better than her in everything? This is about disaster relief, and so is preparation before this drought hits! Could it be that she also had some extraordinary encounters?
Liu Yan was horrified when she thought of this. Zhou Shichu's temperament was obviously different from that of ordinary women. She didn't have the virtuous, reserved, gentle and kind qualities of a woman. Instead, she was unruly and willful, without caring about the world's opinions. However, she was also fierce and sharp, which made her People dare not bully... Could such a person be an ordinary person?
Liu Yan wanted to ask Zhou Shichu directly who she was, but she knew she couldn't panic, so she tried her best to calm down.
After calming down, Liu Yan's mind became clearer. She no longer thought about questioning Zhou Shichu, but thought about another aspect, that is, Zhou Shichu had such great achievements and was called the Grain Mother by the people. Then how will her husband treat her in the future?
The first thought that came to Liu Yan's mind was that after Mu Yunchao conquered the world, he would take Zhou Shichu into his harem. After all, taking in such a famous woman would have a great positive impact on Mu Yunchao's image. , the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Liu Yan was stunned and panicked. Zhou Shichu must not become her love rival!
But she didn't know that Zhou Shichu had no such idea at all. She didn't care about stealing other women's men.
