Chapter 535: Reward Silver (4)
Xiao Ruiyuan glanced at Yan Junyu with a meaningful look in his eyes, and coldly answered the first question: "I sent two secret guards to secretly protect Yan'er, and that's when I found out that you went to Liuyang Village today!"
After saying that, he left the small pavilion without even looking at Yan Junyu, whose face changed drastically. His purpose of coming here tonight has been achieved. No matter whether this kid has any thoughts about Yan'er or not, he must take precautions before they happen.
Yan Junyu's expression changed erratically. When he came back to his senses and wanted to ask questions, Xiao Ruiyuan was nowhere to be seen...
After receiving the filial fruits from Yan Junyu, Emperor Hui'an didn't know Yan Junyu's little thoughts and planned to fulfill him. After tasting the fresh and delicious fruits, he immediately thought that those in the Department of Agriculture were not doing practical things with their salaries. More and more, I wanted to use my cousin's hand to beat him hard.
Early the next morning, all the officials from the Agricultural Affairs Department were slapped in the face with the fresh fruits that Yan Junyu brought out, but they could not utter a single word of rebuttal.
They are convinced that their skills are not as good as those of others.
Yan Junyu was very arrogant, but he knew enough was enough, and he was kind enough not to dwell on the matter. However, Emperor Hui'an rewarded him with five hundred taels of gold on the grounds that he had grown rare fruits and brought glory to Chu. This was a naked slap in the face of the Secretary of Agriculture!
But the Secretary of Agriculture could only swallow with tears. Who knows that the one who slapped in the face was the leader of a country, Emperor Hui'an!
Having received an unexpected fortune, Yan Junyu didn't even know what it meant to be low-key. He showed off in front of other people, especially the princes, in a high-profile manner. Looking at the faces of those people who were trying to laugh or not, he felt proud in his heart.
He has plenty of gold and silver, and he does not care about these five hundred taels of gold, but this honor is very rare. He didn't think that Emperor Hui'an found the reason to win glory for the country and rewarded him with gold just to beat the Secretary of Agriculture.
The monarch of a large country wanted to take a bite of fresh and rare fruits, but he had to transport them thousands of miles from neighboring countries. This was a shame in itself for Emperor Hui'an.
Otherwise, the Ministry of Household Affairs would not spend a large sum of money every year to have the Agricultural Affairs Department transport fruit seedlings thousands of miles away and cultivate them carefully. Isn't it just to regain the face of the royal family and then deter small countries by producing capable people in large numbers?
Thinking of the high-yielding rice that Mo Yan mentioned during the chat, Yan Junyus eyes shone even brighter. He could almost foresee what kind of shock it would bring to Dachu and several neighboring countries once the high-yielding rice with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu was released!
Yan Junyu won the praise of Emperor Hui'an and showed off in such a high-profile manner. Whether it was the Secretary of Agriculture or others, they naturally wanted to know how he cultivated those rare fruit seedlings and allowed them to bear fruit smoothly.
Mo Yans cooperation with Yan Junyu was no longer a secret, and soon someone found out about her. After those people learned that Mo Yan was a peasant girl from a poor background, there was nothing unusual about her, and her relationship with Yan Junyu was just an ordinary employment relationship. She was just lucky enough to grow fruit seedlings, and they quickly forgot about her. back!
Just a small person, not worth the trouble at all!
Little did he know that all the facts about the two people's interactions had been erased by Yan Junyu long ago. Those things that could be found out were deliberately released by him to confuse the world!
When Mo Yan received the five hundred taels of gold sent by Yan Junyu, she had just finished measuring the land with the people sent by the government!
Thats right, she bought land again!
This time, she spent a full two thousand taels of silver to buy all the surrounding barren hills where trees could be planted. There are a total of seventeen mountains in these barren mountains, which add up to two thousand acres, and are connected to the winery that was previously purchased.
Mo Yan plans to use these seventeen barren hills to plant fruit trees to meet the winemaking raw materials needed after the winery is built. Otherwise, the fruit produced by the two orchards each year will be far from enough for the winery's consumption.
This is a huge project that cannot be completed in a year or two. Mo Yan does not want to complete it overnight. The most important thing right now is to build the winery first.
After taking out the red envelope and sending the people away from the government, Mo Yan opened the large and heavy mahogany box sent by Yan Junyu. The moment she opened the box, the shining golden light from inside almost dazzled her eyes.
Wow, so much gold! Sister, its all gold! Xiner rushed forward, picked up a bright yellow gold ingot, and shouted excitedly to her sister.
Mo Yan was also shocked. Even the 50% profit from selling fruits would not be so much! This is a whole box of gold!
At this time, Li Xiu took out a letter from his sleeve: "Yan'er, this is what Young Master Yan's people asked me to give to you. You should read it first!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan quickly took it and opened it. After reading the letter and looking at the gold, she waved her hand and said boldly: "These golds were rewarded by the nobles who bought the fruits, and they will belong to our family from now on! Come on, come with me to the city to go shopping!"
