Chapter 680: What Does the Heroine's Escape Have to Do with Me?

At the foot of the mountain, the breeze blows gently and the sun shines on the earth.

Mr. Mu and Tong Yan, the third master of the Tong family, stood side by side, their eyes intently focused on the busy scene ahead.

I saw a group of hired farmers from the Tong family methodically planting the sweet potato seedlings that had already been grown into the not-so-fertile fields.

Mo Sheng, Mo Jing, Mo Yu and other servants were standing not far behind them. Each of them held a charcoal pencil in his hand and carefully recorded every detail of the entire planting process.

These servants looked focused, as if they were afraid of missing any important steps.

At this time, Tang Mingshan followed closely behind Mr. Mu with an excited look on his face, staring at Mr. Mu and the people who were working without blinking.

For him, it would be a great thing to be able to take one more look at such a scene.

However, Tong Yan was quite dissatisfied with Tang Mingshan's behavior and glared at him fiercely.

I thought this guy was really shameless. It was okay for him to go to the Tong family’s old house to visit Mr. Mu on weekdays, because no one saw him anyway.

But now this is his own farm, with people coming and going, and he is still so blatant, it is really embarrassing!

Mr. Mu observed the sweet potato seeds intently, and at the same time carefully compared them with the exquisite illustrations on the "plan" in his hand, and found that the two were exactly the same.

He nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Tong Yan beside him and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiu'er, you were extremely cautious this time. There wasn't even the slightest deviation."

Hearing this, Tong Yan, who had originally had a tense face, couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, a few people at the back of the team came over and asked curiously, "Mr. Mu, do you think these sweet potatoes can really achieve high yields?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng slowly turned around and cast his gaze on the officials sent by the Minister of Agriculture to be in charge of agricultural production.

"I don't know. That's why I have to watch the farmers plant and the fruits grow in person, so that I can finally calculate the actual yield."

That's right, the reason why he chose to stay in Jialu County temporarily was because he wanted to witness the amazing yield of sweet potatoes with his own eyes.

I have to say, this guy is really cunning!

At this time, Tang Mingshan was staring at the sweet potato seedlings that the farmers were planting with great effort, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to get close to Tong Yan and said with a big smile on his face, "Brother Wenyuan, if you have any extra sweet potato seedlings, could you sell some to me?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan was slightly stunned at first, then he turned his head to look at the butler Qi Er who was not far away, and waved at him to signal him to come over.

When Butler Qi came closer, Tong Yan quickly asked, "Do we have any sweet potato seedlings left?"

Butler Qi nodded respectfully and replied, "These seedlings were all grown in the vegetable greenhouse at the foot of the mountain, and the quantity is quite considerable. This time we plan to plant only 200 acres."

When Tang Mingshan heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly called out to the head of the Tang family whom he had brought with him, asking him to quickly follow the housekeeper Qi Er to the greenhouse to get the sweet potato seedlings so that he could bring them back to the Tang family for planting.

However, at this moment, Tong Jiaqiao and Tong Jiaxing from the Tong family became anxious. They hurried to Tong Yan and shouted in unison: "Third Master, our Tong family has also specially cleared a large area of ​​land and is also preparing to use it to grow sweet potatoes!"

Tong Yan knew nothing about growing crops, but since the tribesmen needed sweet potato seedlings and he happened to have some in stock, he would just give them to them.

So, Tong Yan just nodded his chin slightly and signaled Butler Qi Er to take Tong Jiaqiao and Tong Jiaxing to collect the sweet potato seedlings.

...

There was a crowd of people in the greenhouse at the foot of the mountain.

Butler Qi Er deliberately left behind more than a dozen sheds of sweet potato seedlings, and the rest were distributed to the Tang and Tong families.

However, when this news reached Old Man Bi's ears, he widened his eyes and glared at Butler Qi Er fiercely.

He shouted in dissatisfaction, "Our tenants are all eagerly looking forward to planting sweet potatoes! How can you just let the Tang family take away so many seedlings so easily? Are you crazy?"

Facing Old Man Bi's questioning, Butler Qi Er seemed quite calm.

He looked at Old Man Bi slowly and explained, "Don't worry, Mr. Bi. The ninth lady in our village has a detailed plan.

She had mentioned earlier that the sweet potato seedlings could be propagated by cuttings.

So, when the sweet potato seedlings on our farm grow a bit bigger, we can just let our tenants take cuttings and plant them. We don’t have to worry about not having enough.”

After hearing this, Old Man Bi was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to understand something and slowly closed his mouth.

In fact, as long as the landlord can take the needs and interests of the tenants into consideration, their hearts will be filled with gratitude.

After all, it is rare to find a host who cares about their lives like this.

And more importantly, sweet potatoes are said to be a high-yield crop! All their tenants have heard about this.

Thinking of this, how could they not feel excited and thrilled?

...

Ah Cai hurried back to the quaint old house. She had already taken out an extremely large gourd from her home, which was filled with clear and transparent spiritual spring water.

She walked quickly to Aunt Gu and handed the big gourd filled with spiritual spring water to her.

"Madam Gu, you must remember that when we plant trees, we only need to drip one or two drops of spiritual spring water on each tree. It is enough as long as it can ensure the survival of these trees. Don't drip too much, otherwise it will arouse other people's suspicion!" Ah Cai warned seriously.

Nanny Gu quickly extended her hands and solemnly took the heavy gourd. She then quickly placed it into the storage ring she carried with her and said respectfully, "Yes, Miss, I understand."

At this moment, Rong Mama, who was standing nearby, glanced outside the door and then lowered her voice to Ah Cai, saying, "Miss, I think those people watching us outside were sent by Qiu Changhai, right? I don't know what he's up to. But luckily, Xiaojia is always teasing them, which really adds a lot of fun to us."

Hearing this, Ah Cai couldn't help but pout and complain angrily: "Humph! It's because Mr. Mu refuses to leave here. As long as he doesn't leave, these people will definitely not leave either!"

After saying that, she turned and walked to the desk, ready to start completing today's task - writing big characters.

This is the homework that Mr. Mu gave her to do every day.

"Alas, what a waste of all my efforts! I specially arranged such a beautiful indoor landscape for him, with fresh flowers and delicious fruits, but in the end it didn't do anything at all!"

While muttering, Ah Cai picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write with great concentration.
