“It has nothing to do with us, but with this IOU, we have a reason to reject them the next time they ask for more money.” Zhou Ying paused momentarily before continuing, “Oh right, take some time to collect radishes and cabbages as a cover. Since there’s no time to plant them in the manor this year, we have to let these workers have vegetables to eat in winter somehow.”

“Alright, I’ll remember this.” Gu Chengrui nodded.

After that, the two of them entered the interspace to get busy.

Turning to another end, the Third Prince had received an imperial edict from the emperor to summon him back to the capital to receive a reward. This was for the deed of promoting white sweet potatoes to the public.

At the same time, the Emperor asked him to bring some white sweet potato seeds back to the capital.

However, there was no mention of Gu Chengrui and his wife.

“Is it because he has forgotten, or is he deliberately ignoring it?” The Third Prince could not help but mutter about this.

After thinking about it, he decided to ask about it.

Putting aside the fact that he had failed twice, he did not have the face to meet the couple again if he couldn’t at least reward them for their merits this time.

The white sweet potato seeds they were bringing back came from their village.

If he had no reasonable answer, how could he have the face to go over and collect the seeds?

The Emperor fell silent after reading the Third Prince’s reply.

He had intentionally ignored the couple and didn’t expect the Third Prince to remember this.

However, with Mother God bestowing many other agricultural seeds on them, the contributions of the Gu family’s Gu Chengrui and his wife could be downplayed.

Therefore, the Emperor decided to stop ignoring their achievements. So, he issued an edict to let them enter the capital together to receive a reward.

After the Third Prince received this edict, he heaved a sigh of relief.

After informing his generals, who stayed behind to take care of the military camp, he personally led 5,000 soldiers to Shanghe village.

At the same time, Gu Chengrui brought his medicinal herbs to town and requested that Doctor Luo reopen their clinic. He also hung up a sign saying that they were collecting medicinal herbs.

Afterward, the couple brought Gu Chengxi along and began to dig up various medicinal herbs all over the mountains.

One day, they came down from the mountain and saw Manager Liu waiting at the door. The two of them were surprised momentarily. Thus, Gu Chengrui said, “Uncle Liu, is something the matter?”

“Let’s talk inside.” Manager Liu looked at the people on the street and hesitated.

Gu Chengrui heard that and went inside with the medicinal herbs.

Zhou Ying opened the door and invited Manager Liu into the room. She poured him a glass of cold water and said, “Uncle Liu, do say what you need to say.”

“Do you still remember when the Third Prince took the seeds from here to the south to promote them?”

“Of course. It happened last year. How can I not remember?”

“I don’t think I need to elaborate on how important those sweet potatoes are. So, the Emperor is rewarding him for the act of promoting sweet potatoes to the masses.

“The Third Prince has also called for you two to return to the capital to receive the reward together. At the same time, he was told to bring back some more sweet potato seeds.

“At present, only the manor has a surplus of them, so we had no choice but to draw from the manor.” Manager Liu explained his visit.

“Sure, but this time you must leave behind 1,000 pounds’ worth for each person. If anything happens, it won’t be enough if it’s anything less than this.”

“I understand. The Emperor only said to bring some seeds back and didn’t say exactly how much, so we’ll just gather as much as we can.”

“Alright then, when will the Third Prince e over for the seeds?”

“The Third Prince has already arrived in the town, bringing many people with him this time. He isn’t here alone, so I’ll bring a convoy over tomorrow morning to pick up the sweet potatoes.

“Pack your luggage and follow the convoy to town.”

“Why are you in such a hurry?” After speaking, Gu Chengrui hesitated and asked, “Can we not go to the capital? I don’t see any necessity to receive a reward from such a long distance.”

“Yeah, it’s almost winter. It’s torture to travel so far.” Zhou Ying echoed.

The key was that they had no power to rely on in the capital. If they entered the capital, they would have to tuck their tails between their legs, so they might enjoy their good time here in the village..
