MTL - The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince-Chapter 561 Is this calling him cunning?
Chapter 561 Is this calling him cunning?
Da Qin is currently seriously short of food and grain varieties.
The most important issue is the shortage of grain seeds. If we want to solve the food shortage, we must first solve the problem of grain seeds. How can we grow food if there are no grain seeds? How can we get out of the predicament if we can't grow food.
The granaries in various parts of the imperial court have long been empty due to successive natural disasters.
However, it does not mean that the big families do not have it in their hands.
Du Qian smiled slyly, "In the current situation, it makes no sense to be so nice. This is for the sake of the people of the world, and for the sake of making things easier for us in the future. Thank you for your help, sister."
…”God steps on the horse!
Du Wan glared at him angrily, "What's your bad idea?"
"Sister, those big families don't have many people to talk to, especially when it comes to their own interests. Now the spring plowing has been delayed for a few days. If it is delayed any longer, there will be no harvest this year. By then, the situation will become more and more serious, leaving us with We don’t have much time, so we can’t reason with them in a nice and polite manner. No, the situation is urgent.”
At another time, Du Qian showed that he did not want to be so violent.
Du Wan stared at him, "Brother, you have changed."
“How has it become?”
“I suspect you have been possessed by an old fox.”
…” Is this calling him cunning?
Du Consort laughed loudly from the side, "Wanwan, your elder brother must have his reasons for asking you to do this."
Du Qian immediately cheered up and agreed with a smile.
"What's the reason? Isn't this pushing me into a trap?" Du Wan squinted at the two of them, as if he didn't want to be fools, "I will have as many enemies as dogs by then, can I still live a peaceful life? "
Du Qian struck, "If my sister doesn't do this, she has a lot of enemies. Think about your entertainment newspaper."
“…” Prince Consort Du actually agreed.
Du Wan rolled her eyes at the two of them, "My entertainment newspaper didn't mention them by name."
After some dilly-dallying, Du Qian still insisted on leaving the important task to Du Wan. At this time, Du Qian was not like the maniac who doted on girls before, but had become a little expert who specialized in cheating girls.
Du Wan came up to the cheap brother, covered his mouth with the back of his hand, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, Pei Hao said that the emperor's uncle wanted Du to take action to tide over the difficulties. Is it true?"
Hearing this, a ray of light flashed across Du Qian's eyes, fleetingly.
Without answering the question directly, he patted her head gently and said, "As long as you solve it, you don't need to ask the family. Of course, the family still needs to donate a batch of grain seeds. I'll leave this matter to my sister. "
“…”Brother, are you buying and selling by force?
No, let her buy and sell by force to the family?
Damn it, no matter who is the best, it’s still my brother!
But if the old patriarch knows the truth, will there be any psychological shadow? hey-hey.
Du Wan was secretly thinking about how to cheat her brother. There was no reason for her to be the only one to take the blame.
Next, Du Qian asked someone to bring a message to the emperor, saying that he would leave the palace to solve the problem of grain.
A family of three, leaving the palace together.
When they returned to the princess's residence, Du Qian and Du Huima had a secret conversation in the study alone for about a quarter of an hour, and then they carried their ignorant sister back to their clan in the afterglow of the setting sun.
While Du Wan was confused, he met the old patriarch.
The old patriarch saw the jade plaque and his face turned red with excitement.
It took a long time to calm down and leave in a hurry.
When he came back, he was holding a white jade box with the clan emblem carved on it.
The old patriarch opened the jade box solemnly.
There was a roll of animal skin lying quietly in the box. He motioned to Du Wan to pick it up and look at it, "Little girl, pick it up and take a look."
“What is it?” Du Wan had a vague guess in her mind. Du Qian answered for the old patriarch, "It's the secret you want to know."
Du Wan saw the solemnity of the two people, so she couldn't help but straighten her mind, stretched out her white and jade-like hand, and was about to take it.
But before he picked it up, Du Qian suddenly asked: "Does my sister recognize the clan's writing?"
“Huh?” Du Wan was stunned.
Before Du Qian could say anything else, Du Wan had already picked up the animal skin and opened it. There were rows of densely packed small characters written on it, as well as a few familiar patterns. This piece of animal skin was somewhat similar to an instruction manual.
Du Wan felt extremely cordial when she saw the words above.
They are all traditional Chinese characters, so don’t be too familiar with them. It's just that there are a lot of uncommon words on it, and it's not easy for Du Wan to fully understand them. He only got a rough idea by guessing.
The animal skin scroll records the origin of the Du family in the Qin Dynasty.
The ancestors of the Du family came from another continent.
Based on the description on the animal skin, Du Wan felt it was more like the Cultivation Continent in the novel.
At that time, the Du family was facing the crisis of genocide, and the entire family was about to fight to the death.
On the eve of the war, several powerful people in the clan teamed up to send the younger members of the clan here to take refuge. For fear that their enemies would find any clues, they even sealed the transmission channels and cut off contact.
No one thought that they would be separated for thousands of years.
It is written above that when the golden Higanbana appears, it is when they return.
Then, no more?
Fortunately, there is a way to break the seal on the animal skin.
The patriarch didn’t know what the golden Hibiscus flower was before, but now he finally understands it!
Du Wan carefully considered the light golden Bianhua flower in the jade plaque, and then looked at the excited and expectant eyes of the old patriarch, "Chief, look, this is light gold, not gold."
"I know, I know, it's not even close, it's not even close." The old patriarch was so excited that he couldn't speak incoherently.
As the patriarch of the Du family here, there are still secrets that are passed down by word of mouth.
The old patriarch said with excitement in his eyes: "This golden light is merit! To open the seal, a lot of merit is needed. The inheritance jade tablet collects the merit, and it's enough to wait until the clan emblem completely turns golden."
Hearing this, Du Wan turned to look at Du Qian, "Brother asked me to collect grain donations before. Do you want me to earn merit in person?"
Du Qian smiled and pinched her cheek, "Yes, this is the safest. I don't know if the merit earned by the tribe counts."
Hearing this, Du Wan looked at the small flowers in the jade plaque silently, feeling vaguely different, "It should be calculated. I earned the big money, and everyone belongs to the small money."
This is an intuition, a very mysterious feeling.
She did a lot of things last year, and if she is truly meritorious, she should have done a lot.
The Du family built the city wall and invested a lot of money and grain, which indirectly helped many people. Du Wan felt that the Du family was not that simple and they should have done something else.
This faint golden light is still far away from being completely golden.
Du Wan raised her head and looked directly at Du Qian.
Du Qian also looked at her, "What is sister thinking about?"
"This is the merit that needs to be saved." Du Wan suddenly said.
When she said this, even she was shocked.
The old patriarch and Du Qian were both stunned.
Du Qian thought seriously, "It shouldn't be considered a violation of the clan rules if the family helps the people of Great Qin. Chief, don't you think so?"
“It doesn’t count.” The old patriarch smiled like an old fox.
