A sudden rain hits the banana trees, and there is a loud sound outside the window.

Ning Chuchu flipped through the book with her slender hands, looking at each line, her heart was racing and her face was red.

She swallowed, dipped her fingers on her lips, landed on the ancient book in front of her, and flipped through...

last page!

Gone!

I read so slowly that I finished reading "Stealing Fragrance, Stealing Jade, Slender Water" without even realizing it!
Ning Chuchu felt quite regretful, and felt that it was a feeling that she had not yet fully understood.

Only then did she raise her head and realize that it was pouring rain outside.

Xiao Baozi was sitting next to her, but he was not reading a book. Instead, he was looking at the rain outside with his chin on his hands.

Zhongli Ruoshui sat on her right, carefully looking at the account books collected from Zhangjiayi's small yard.

There seemed to be a condensed rain and mist between Xiao Baozi's slender eyebrows.

Zhongli Ruoshui frowned slightly, with a hint of solemnity between his eyebrows.

Ning Chuchu calmed down and looked at Xiao Baozi again:

"Sister Xiao, are you thinking about him?"

Xiao Baozi pouted, "Have you finished reading?"

"Ok!"

"Look again...read it a hundred times and you will see its meaning!"

"...It's not good to see too much!"

Xiao Baozi looked at Ning Chuchu in surprise, "Why is it bad?"

"Isn't it said that the book will eventually become shallow? I, I think I have to give it a try and then review it again."

"If you don't talk about this, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Baozi curled his lips again and looked out the window: "The cow didn't come back!"

Ning Chuchu was startled, "How about we go find him?"

"it is good!"

Zhongli Ruoshui also raised his head at this time, "Let's go, call Xia Hua, let's go together!"

Four beautiful women held oil-paper umbrellas and flew into the heavy rain.

Arriving at the patio of Yuelai Inn, I just walked through the moon door and entered the lobby when I heard the roar of shopkeeper Tong:
"Trees grow, trees grow!"

The waiter ran over and said, "Shopkeeper, what's going on?"

"Where's my book?"

The waiter named Shu Sheng’s eyes widened immediately: “I don’t know!”

"Last time, you kid secretly took my copy of "Looking for Joy". This time, I finally found a copy. Who else can read besides you?"

"You didn't take it. Could it be that the book had grown legs and escaped on its own?!"

Shu Sheng felt aggrieved.

Xiao Baozi's eyes lit up, hey, "Looking for Joy"!
This name sounds pretty good. I have to find it and put it in the library of Wanxi Zhai!
Before Shusheng had time to defend himself, shopkeeper Tong had already seen Zhongli Ruoshui and the others.

He hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, bowed, and said casually: "It's raining so hard, what can the four ladies do? Just ask the sword attendant to give you orders!"

Zhongli Ruoshui smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's just... I just don't know where Chen An is?"

"Ah... the regent is on the second floor of the west wing of the backyard."

"Okay, let's go find him now."

The three of them turned around, but Xiao Baozi looked at Shopkeeper Tong. She wanted to ask about the book "Looking for Joy", but after thinking about it, it wasn't appropriate.

Better to steal than borrow!
What's more, how can we use this word "stealing" when it comes to scholars?
Only if such a book is preserved in Wanxi Zhai can it be passed down through the ages!
So she turned around and followed him into the backyard.

On the second floor of Rujia's small wooden building.

Old Master Zeng seemed to wake up from a nightmare.

He opened his old eyes and saw the teenagers sitting around the tea table in front of the window.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils gradually focused, and his expression suddenly turned cold——

He saw the regent who was nothing!

He wanted to get up, but found that his body had no strength at all.

He withdrew his gaze, looked at the white mosquito net above his head, and could only sigh in his heart.

Then, he heard the rain outside the window.

I also heard the voice of someone speaking:
"This rain came at the wrong time!"

This was Li Chenan's voice. Of course, Old Master Zeng didn't know that he was the real regent.He listened carefully with his ears perked up, wanting to hear what other ridiculous words the regent had to say.

Sure enough, he heard Wang Zhenghaoxuan's voice:

"It's the hot summer weather, so this rain suddenly makes people feel a little cooler. How can you say it's not the right time?"

Li Chenan sighed: "It's just when the rice is blooming!"

"The flowering of rice requires consecutive days of good weather. Too much rain will cause pollen to fall, making it difficult to successfully pollinate...The end result is that the rice ears will not be full, and the harvest may be reduced by at least [-]%."

Wang Zhenghaoxuan couldn't understand.

Amu and the other three couldn't understand either.

But they believed that what Li Chenan said was definitely right.

Amu asked: "What can we do?"

"There is no way... I just hope that this heavy rain will not fall for too long, otherwise, the bigger disaster will be the collapse of the mountain landslide and the collapse of the house!"

“So in agriculture, the problem of relying on the sky for food has been difficult to solve since ancient times.”

"Business is different."

"Business is controllable. From what I know about the business situation so far, whether it is Wu State or Ning State, business is actually very easy to do because the competition is not fierce."

"Perhaps the profits of those products today will be lower, and people don't have many coins in their pockets, but they can still be sold after all."

Wang Zhenghaoxuan asked at this time: "But those commodities cannot be used as food. After all, they still have to fall into agriculture."

"You're right. Improving seeds is a very long and accidental thing to do."

"Our Ning Kingdom has been weak for many years. After returning to Kyoto, I will look for some experienced farmers to specialize in seed improvement, and at the same time, we will vigorously develop business!"

"In a short period of time, in order to solve the food and clothing problem of the people of Ningguo, we still have to buy food from other countries... This requires the people to make money and there is money in the account of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Wang Zhenghaoxuan was stunned for a moment: "What can you do to get so much money in the shortest time?"

Li Chenan smiled slightly, "Let's start with this salt!"

"Salt?"

"Yes, it's salt, but not this low-quality green salt!"

"...What kind of salt is that?"

"White salt, white salt without the bitter taste!"

Wang Zheng, Haoxuan and the others were stunned, wondering how the green salt turned white.

Li Chenan did not explain. He raised his head and looked outside the door. Zhongli Ruoshui and four others just walked in.

Old Master Zeng, who was lying on the bed, heard this and didn't know who the young man who talked the most was.

But he heard that the young man at least knew about farming.

At least it's much better than the regent!
He was able to converse with the Prince Regent and obviously had a very good relationship with the Prince Regent.

It’s just that he mentioned salt…

Old Master Zeng turned his head: "Salt, private salt...the entire Youzhou government is making profits from salt!"

Li Chenan looked back at Old Master Zeng, "I know."

Master Zeng stretched out a trembling hand and pointed at Wang Zhenghaoxuan.

He became angry when he saw Wang Zhenghaoxuan!

"But this Hun King...he doesn't know anything!"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan ignored Old Master Zeng because he was thinking about another thing.

Then, Old Master Zeng heard a sentence that almost made him vomit blood again——

"Then add this non-bitter white salt to the dog stew. I think it will taste even better!"

"Yes, with white salt, the food will taste better."

After Li Chenan said this, he stood up and came to Old Master Zeng's bed. He raised his hand to tuck the thin quilt in and said with a smile:
"Old Master, you were deceived by him!"

"He actually knows everything, not just about selling illegal salt in Youzhou, but also about the injustices you suffered in Youzhou, and what Tian Xiurong did... he knows everything!"

Zeng Pengcheng was shocked. He looked at Wang Zhenghaoxuan and then at Li Chenan, "What do you mean...what he did was for that traitor Tian Xiurong to see?"

"Of course, old master, you can rest assured and take care of yourself. Our regent... although he likes to eat dog meat, the overall situation is still at his heart!"

"He will make decisions for you and the people of Youzhou, just don't make any noise about it!"

Zeng Pengcheng suddenly became speechless.

When I looked at Wang Zhenghaoxuan again, I suddenly felt that his face looked prettier than before. (End of chapter)
