Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 115 Potatoes

The prefect naturally knew that these potatoes must be a big deal and could make her soar to fame.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yao was full of kindness, even appreciation.

"Ayao, you really provided me with a great opportunity. Don't worry, I will not lose your contribution. I will present the potatoes to you and you can wait for good news."

The prefect is naturally a good person, although she has selfish motives for promotion.

But she would not take all the credit from Gu Yao. After all, she had a very good relationship with Gu Yao over the past year.

She knew that Gu Yao was a talented person and would not be limited to such achievements in the future.

So she wanted to maintain a good relationship with her. With Gu Yao as her connection, her future path would be easier.

"Thank you, sir. However, since these potatoes can produce high yields, I am thinking of promoting them throughout Shicheng so that the people can benefit from them."

The prefect laughed and said, "Go ahead and do this. I believe you can do it well. You are fully responsible for this matter."

She naturally wanted the people in her jurisdiction to have enough food and clothing, but she had never had the conditions before, and the land in Shicheng was not very good, so she did not have much achievements in agriculture and commerce.

Why has she not made any progress in her position as prefect for so many years?

She has no family background and no political achievements. Now, with Gu Yao's presence, it will be easy for her to get promoted.

She reported the potato matter, and Gu Yao began to prepare to develop potatoes with the consent of the state.

She asked all the yamen runners to inform everyone that the first batch of potatoes would be distributed for free.

Anyone who wants to plant can do so for free, but it is only free this year, but it will not be free in the future.

However, she also taught many ordinary people how to save seeds, which could also reduce their burden.

The other county magistrates were also curious about what these potatoes were.

They didn't want to do it at first, but since it was the order from the Tongpan, they dared not disobey.

One or two county magistrates were unwilling to do so, thinking that the potatoes were useless. Although it was said that they could produce high yields, no one knew whether it was true.

Because the two county magistrates failed to accomplish this task, other ordinary people were shocked. They didn't expect that this thing was free.

Although I don’t know if this is true, I still think that free things are not cheap so how long do I have to wait?

After all, they used to have to buy the food they grew. But the potatoes were distributed for free, without spending a penny, so the common people naturally wanted to get them.

It is up to you how much you receive. You can receive a little, which does not take up space and does not delay work in the fields.

If they can really get new varieties, they will be very happy.

As potato planting was booming throughout Shicheng, the entire city became more prosperous.

It even brought smiles to the faces of the people.

Regardless of whether the potatoes are real or not, they are full of expectations.

I thought that this was a notice issued by adults, so if it was true, it must be true.

Maybe they can really get some food by relying on this thing called potatoes.

What's more, the adults also said that we can successfully grow potatoes in our fields, so these ordinary people all hold on to a glimmer of hope.

In the future, they will be able to have enough food and clothing, and even make some money from trading.

Their Shicheng is really too poor. If the people above them were not corrupt officials, they would probably have to flee from famine.

Gu Yao felt relieved when she knew that the potatoes had been planted. It was a good thing that they were planted.

Afterwards, she can develop the next path. At that time, she can collect these potatoes to make potato flour, so that they will have some local specialties to sell in Shicheng.

Once it is sold and there is money, Shicheng will naturally survive.

Seeing that Gu Yao was always busy and had little time to rest, Lin Wulang asked the kitchen to prepare some more supplements for Gu Yao to nourish her.

Since having a child, Chen Yan has naturally been taking care of the child wholeheartedly.

However, Gu Yao would also come to his yard to sit for a while or even rest for a night.

Chen Yan naturally knew that Gu Yao was very busy during this period, so she would not do anything.

He mostly spent time in the yard with his children, or went to talk with Gu's father and others.

To Chen Yan, he was just a servant and was not needed for other things.

Instead, he just needs to let his daughter grow up happily.

He still wanted to have another child. After all, one child was too few, and he was afraid that his wife would take a concubine, so he wanted to enhance his status.

"How is Ayang today? Have you been naughty?"

This time, Gu Yao finally found some time to come and see her little daughter. Her little daughter changes every day and is very lively, which makes her like her very much.

"My wife is here. Ah Yang is very naughty now. Fortunately, there are many people serving her, so she can't mess around. Isn't my wife busy today?"

Gu Yao Chen Yan smiled while holding the tea in her hand: "I'm not very busy today, so I came to see you. If you need anything at other times, go find Doctor Lang and he will arrange it for you."

"The doctor is very kind to us. He always sends us anything we need. It is my blessing to have such a good husband like him."

Chen Yan indeed thought so. Although he could not become a doctor due to bad luck before, he felt that it was a blessing to be able to enter the Gu family.

In the Gu family, he had no worries about food and drink, he had people to serve him, no one bullied him, and he had his own children, which was something he had never dared to imagine before.

"That's good. By the way, this is something I bought for you on the street. If you like it, take it."

When she came back, Gu Yao bought hairpins for all the men in her family at a jewelry store. She didn't want to favor one over the other.

She believes that money should be spent, and sometimes giving gifts to the men in her family is a token of her love.

Chen Yan took the hairpin from Gu Yao and said with a smile: "Thank you, my wife. I like it very much. I didn't expect that my wife would miss us."

"I am your wife and mistress. I don't care about you. As long as you are happy, I will be very satisfied."

Gu Yao was right, the future of these men depended on her, so she naturally wanted them to live comfortably.

They are a family, and the world is already very harsh on men, so there is no need for her to be too harsh on them.

Fortunately, they came to Shicheng, where the atmosphere is more open.

Sometimes, Father Gu would take the men in the family for walks, to the theater, to listen to books, so the men in the Gu family lived a pretty good life, at least they had many places to kill time.

Chen Yan felt emotional as she thought about the letters she had received from home during this period.

Of course he knew that his family was worried about him, but he was indeed living a good life and also received money from his family.

He was really touched that his family gave him money. After all, it meant that his family was really nice.
