A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 599: test

In the next few days, Zheta actually took her men to live in the farm of Prince Rui's Mansion.

Wei Ruo sent Zhang Yi to monitor her all the time, and the result surprised her.

This woman named Zheta did the whole process herself, even for such dirty work as pouring manure, she did not leave others alone.

This far exceeded Wei Ruo's expectations.

She thought that even if Zheta really came for her people as she said, he might not be able to live in her farm as she asked and grow potatoes with the long-term workers.

Unexpectedly, she actually persisted.

"Miss, this princess is much more powerful than I imagined, and she is also willing to endure much hardship. If she hadn't been surrounded by so many masters and she was so fair, I would have doubted that she was not a real princess."

Xiumei also had some changes in her view of Zheta. Regardless of whether he was a good person or not, at least he had good perseverance.

"Let's take another look." Wei Ruo decided to observe for a few more days.

Three days later, when Wei Ruo went to the farm again, he saw Zheta, who was wearing the same rough clothes as the others, walking into the fields carrying a load of packed fertilizer.

It was summer, the weather was hot, the sun was blazing in the sky, she was sweating profusely, but she had no intention of stopping.

The guards she brought were following her now, carrying fertilizer like her, but she did not let the guards help.

Wei Ruo smiled and walked towards Zheta.

Seeing Wei Ruo approaching, Zheta raised his head to look at her.

It seems that you are very determined and perseverant. Wei Ruo commented.

"Do you think I came all the way to Jiliao to play with you? If you want to see me shrinking, then I tell you that you will be disappointed. I originally wanted to ask you how to grow these potatoes, but now is the time. I have learned everything, so that when I get your seeds, I dont need to ask you for advice anymore and can just go back and plant them.

"You are right." Wei Ruo agreed, and then said, "Follow me."

Wei Ruo led Zheta to a warehouse. The cart parked at the door was already filled with things and covered with an oilcloth.

What do you mean? Zheta asked Wei Ruo.

"This cart is potatoes, and it is also the seeds you want. If you have asked other people during these days here, you should know this." Wei Ruodao.

I know, but what do you mean now? Zeta asked.

"Let you take them back. As long as you plant them well, in a short time, the descendants of these potatoes will be able to make your people eat potatoes." Wei Ruodao.

"You gave it to me so easily?" Zheta looked at Wei Ruo with doubtful eyes.

"What? Do you think the things came too fast?" Wei Ruodao.

"It's a bit fast." Zheta said, "I thought you would at least make things difficult for me again."

"If you only want potato seeds, this is enough, but if you also want my other high-yielding crops, you may need to meet my other conditions." Wei Ruodao.

Other high-yielding crops? What else do you have? Zheta asked.

I also have high-yield cotton seeds that are disease-resistant and insect-resistant, as well as sweet potatoes that are equally easy to grow with high yields, rice and wheat seeds, and taro seeds that can also achieve high yields in Jurchen territory..."

"Really? Do you really have as many high-yielding crops as you said? Disease-resistant and insect-resistant cotton? Can you grow a lot of them?" Zheta asked quickly, his eyes wide and shining.

Jurchen is located in the north, where winters are cold, and cotton-padded jackets are not something everyone can have.

They are not suitable for growing cotton. If you want cotton, you can only buy it from Daye at a high price. Now only the nobles in the tribe can afford it, and the poor people have no such conditions and opportunities. Natural. Wei Ruodao.

Are you willing to give me the seeds too? Zheta asked.

"If your purpose is really what you said, for you Jurchen people, and if you can fulfill the conditions I set out, I will give it to you." Wei Ruodao.

"If you have any conditions, just open it." Zheta said simply and decisively.

"There are a lot of children in my orphanage, and I need someone to help me take care of the children. You continue to plant potatoes during the day, and if you are free at night, go to the orphanage to help take care of the children." Wei Ruodao.

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, the guards around Zheta couldn't help it.

"How unreasonable is it that you let our princess do farm work and grow potatoes, and you also ask her to take care of the children at night. Your long-term workers can rest after finishing the day's work, but you want our princess to stay awake?"

"Shut up!" Zheta shouted to stop the guard, "Now I am asking for something from someone, and they are making conditions. If I don't want it, I can refuse. There is no need to blame others for the harsh conditions they propose."

Then Zheta said to Wei Ruo: "I agree to the conditions you proposed. I will go to the orphanage to help as soon as the sun goes down."

"Okay." Wei Ruo smiled lightly, "Then I'll wait and see."

Zheta didnt know that this was another test Wei Ruo had given her.

Actually, the cart was not loaded with potatoes. If she wanted to stop and pull the cart back now, she would not get what she wanted.

The reason why Wei Ruo put forward such a condition was to make sure that she was really doing what she said to ensure that the people could have enough food and clothing.

If it was really for the people, it would be impossible for her to miss the high-yielding cotton seeds Wei Ruo mentioned.

###

Coming back from the farm, Wei Ruo smelled the fragrance of flowers as soon as she entered the room. When she took a closer look, she saw a few lotus flowers on the table.

Needless to say, the second brother must have asked someone to find this.

There are not many lotus plants in Jiliao. She lamented a few days ago that there will be no lotus flowers this summer.

As a result, lotus flowers were delivered to her house today.

Wei Ruo smiled, then turned and went next door to find Wei Jinyi. She told Wei Jinyi what happened with Zheta.

After listening, Wei Jin also asked: "Is Ruo'er testing whether what she said is true?"

Hmm. Wei Ruo asked, What do you think, second brother?

Ruoer thinks that the Jurchen people are not necessarily our enemies?

Well, in the world I lived in in my previous life, they were not enemies, so I am not hostile to them.

"In that case, let's try it. If there can really be a breakthrough for Daye and the Jurchen tribe to live in peace and avoid the outbreak of war, it will also be a blessing for the people."

"Yeah." Wei Ruo smiled and nodded, "I'm glad that my second brother can support my idea."

Wei Jin also stared at Wei Ruo and said seriously: "No matter what you do, I will support you. You and I are husband and wife, so it should be like this."

couple

That's right, they are husband and wife, not brother and sister.
