Chapter 42: Leaving the father and keeping the son, isn’t it wonderful!
Chi Yan stammered, "It's not that I don't like him, of course! It's not that I like him! It's just that he looks androgynous and quite good-looking. I'm afraid that you, my master..."
Ye Hanting saw Chu Li's eyelashes move. He knew Chu Li had woken up and deliberately replied, "He is a man, what are you thinking!"
When Chi Yan heard his master say this, he felt relieved. That’s good.
Chu Li had already woken up while they were talking. Her brows were twitching. She actually fell asleep leaning against Ye Hanting, but Ye Hanting pushed her aside with disgust.
And she also realized that Chi Yan had always been afraid that she would seduce his master.
Overthinking, okay?
She lost her virginity when she traveled through time. In ancient times, who would be with a woman who had lost her virginity?
Besides, she didn't want to find a man to marry. She wanted to do something big and build her own kingdom!
After she has taken over the country, she can choose a handsome man with amazing intelligence and good looks from all over the world to lend her child, and then kill the father and keep the son. Wouldn't that be wonderful!
She didn't consider Ye Hanting. Although he met all the requirements, his power was so great that people were intimidated by him. She imagined Ye Hanting sleeping next to her and then shuddered.
How can anyone be allowed to snore in front of the emperor's bed, especially when he is a treacherous minister!
Wait, she is a man now, what kind of crap is this kid Chi Yan’s head full of!
Chu Li pretended to have just woken up and stretched naturally, "Have we arrived at Xiaomei Manor?"
Chi Yan folded his arms, "Not yet, Your Highness, continue to sleep!"
Chu Li stretched his neck and said, "Sir, your carriage is so comfortable that I fell asleep just now."
"Yeah." Ye Hanting fanned himself calmly. What was this devilish girl Chu Li doing at Xiaomei Manor?
When Chu Li passed by a barren mountain, she asked the coachman to stop. She climbed up the mountain alone, picked a branch, and then returned to the carriage.
"Sir, I've been waiting for a long time!" Chu Li calmed his breath and handed the leaf to Ye Hanting, "Sir, how do you smell it?"
The leaves were close to Ye Hanting's nose. He sniffed and asked, "Is this tea?"
Chu Li nodded, "It will become one of the four famous teas in the future!"
Ye Hanting lowered his eyes. Could it be that this little devil wanted to become a businessman?
A quarter of an hour later, the convoy arrived at Xiaomei Village, and Chu Li got off the carriage carrying a small bag.
As soon as she stood firm, a group of curious children came up to her.
"His Royal Highness!"
"It's the Crown Prince who's here!"
They stood there shyly, not daring to come closer.
Chu Li untied the bag behind him, which was full of candies. "Pine nut candies, orange candies, do you want some?"
In an instant, Chu Li was surrounded by children.
After a while, all the candies in the package were taken away.
Ye Hanting lifted the car curtain and saw this scene, and suddenly thought of the secret report sent by the spy.
Chu Li was able to invite Zhang Zhilong, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, to bring all the bullies in the village, the county magistrate and the chief constable of Cheng'an County to Jingzhao Prefecture for interrogation.
And yesterday she pleaded for a man named Mei Hao, allowing the poor hero to have a page included in the county annals!
Chu Li's behavior style has changed a lot recently, and he is a little confused about Chu Li.
However, she definitely did not come to Xiaomeizhuang today to give candy to the children, she must have something important to do.
After Chu Li had distributed all the candies, he waved his hand and said, "Go and call all the adults in your family who are able to move around, and tell them that I have something to announce!"
"it is good!"
"Good good!"
The child skipped away.
When the people in the village heard that Chu Li had arrived, they all rushed over.
They were about to kowtow to Chu Li, but Chu Li raised his hand and said, "No need. I'll be here more often soon. Stop kneeling and save some energy. We're getting ready to move!"
"Huh? Moving?"
The people in the village looked at each other in confusion. They had lived here for many years, why did they have to move?
"Your Highness, why are you moving away?" As the acting clan leader, Mei Maobing naturally had to ask for everyone.
Chu Li looked into the distance, "Xiaomei Village is no longer suitable for farming. If you stay here, your life will only get worse. It's better to move to another place and start over!"
The old people looked embarrassed and were unwilling to leave.
The children looked excited, and one of them asked in a baby voice, "Your Highness, where are we moving to?"
Chu Li pointed his finger at the barren mountain where Mei Hao's body was buried, "There!"
Ye Hanting finally understood Chu Li's intention. It seemed that she could turn the tea on that barren mountain into treasure.
"Desolate, desolate, desolate mountains!" The people were angry but dared not speak out. Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just fooling around?
They actually asked them to move to that godforsaken place.
They live on plain land now. If they live on the mountain, their life will be more difficult in the future.
Mei Maobing nodded and said, "Your Highness, is there anything magical about that mountain, or do you already have a plan?"
Chu Li smiled slightly, "There is an abandoned manor about a mile below that mountain, which happens to be within the scope of my fiefdom. After you move there, you can live in the manor. I found a field of tea trees on that barren mountain that will make you rich!"
Chu Li took a branch from the carriage. Everyone looked over and the old man in the village recognized what she was holding at once.
"Your Highness, although the leaves have a little fragrance, aren't they just ordinary leaves? We saw them when we went up the mountain to pick wild fruits during the famine. There were seven or eight trees on the top of the highest mountain!"
Chu Li's eyes lit up. There were still seven or eight trees on the top of the mountain. He was going to get rich!
She said loudly: "That's because you don't know the techniques of picking and frying tea. I can guarantee that as long as you listen to me, every household can get at least fifty taels of silver every year!"
What she said was already extremely conservative, because this tea is also called Wuyi Rock Tea, one of the four famous teas!
Its tea trees grow in the cracks of rocks in barren mountains. The tips of their leaves are twisted like dragonfly heads, and their color is iron green with a hint of brown and oily.
Wuyi Rock Tea is famous for its rocky flavor and floral fragrance. Fortunately, Wuyi Rock Tea has not yet become popular in this strange world.
As long as she does a good job of marketing, Wuyi Rock Tea will definitely conquer the taste buds of the people of Da Chu.
In this way, the people in the village can find a suitable livelihood, and she can also earn money from it.
She raised the branch in her hand and said, "This tea has the fragrance of green tea and the sweetness of black tea. It is the best oolong tea. I once drank it at a palace banquet. Don't you believe it?"
Chi Yan was confused by what he heard. He quietly asked Ye Hanting, "Master, is there really such tea?"
"Here it is." Ye Hanting curled the corners of his lips slightly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really spoke without thinking and made up stories.
Chi Yan understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a big liar!
When the people heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had drunk such precious tea at a palace banquet, they were very surprised by its quality and price!
"Your Highness, can you really earn fifty taels of silver a year?" someone asked curiously. After all, they can't even earn five taels of silver a year now!
Chu Li promised: "As long as everyone works hard, each person will get at least 50 taels per year, and the more you work, the more you get. If you can't get that much money, just come to me!"
She checked the soil on the barren mountain and found it suitable for growing tea trees. She planned to expand the scale by growing seedlings through cuttings!
The people were excited. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had made a guarantee, so what problem could there be?
"Okay! Your Highness, let's move!" someone took the lead and shouted.
Soon after, people began to voice their demands to move away from Xiaomeizhuang.
Chu Li raised his hand and the surroundings fell silent. "Everyone, we should move out as soon as possible!"
"Why?" someone asked.
Chu Li's eyes were heavy as he looked into the distance, "Because if we don't leave, I'm afraid there will be a disaster!"
