Chapter 106 Confession
Chapter 106 Confession
Sima Yang nodded, "But it can't be concealed for long, unless..."
"Unless what?" Xu Siyu looked at the little girl and asked, "Exchanging grain seeds for human heads?"
The little girl looked serious, but Xu Siyu shook her head at her.
Sima Yang didn't understand the meaning of Xu Siyu shaking her head. He thought she disagreed and tried to persuade her anxiously: "If some people don't die, then you and your family will die. In this situation, don't you want to change?"
"Yes." Xu Siyu answered sincerely.
"But you are too careless. How can you casually tell an ordinary person like me about your opposition to the imperial court?"
"The easiest way to tie you to the same boat is to share secrets. Besides, there are my people around you. If anything moves, you'll die quickly."
"So, my life is also in your hands?" Xu Siyu had just finished speaking when Sima Yang fell to the ground with blurred eyes before he could continue to argue.
She stared at the fallen girl and shook her head.
[Silly girl, just like her, too naive. What does it matter if there are people around? If you meet a ruthless person, you will still lose your life first. Others can only help you get revenge.]
Xu Siyu placed Sima Yang on the bed in the study and waited until dark when she woke up.
Sima Yang looked at Xu Siyu sullenly, knowing that she had "died" first when threatening others.
Xu Siyu handed her a bowl of porridge. After hesitating, she finished it.
Xu Siyu felt relieved and wrote down an address and handed it to Sima Yang: "Here are 100,000 dan of grain seeds. Please ship them away as soon as possible. I am deeply grateful for your sincerity. In the future, you are welcome to come and do business with me often. If I am still here..."
The last sentence revealed Xu Siyu's another gamble - Sima Yang, can he keep her safe?
In order to let Sima Yang know her sincerity, Xu Siyu spent the whole day exhausted.
Alas, you don’t know until you dig it out. A bag of seeds weighs 400 kilograms, and shi is million kilograms. Xu Siyu hid in the county warehouse of the former Anyun County and worked all day to unpack and burn the packaging bags, which almost killed her.
It turns out that there are some things that cannot be promised to others casually.
They did it from dawn to dusk. Xu Siyu reminded herself again that she couldn't talk nonsense anymore. No wonder Lin Yiqing always wanted to stop her.
Alas, she realized then that she had exposed too much.
……
In this world, Lin Yiqing and her children are the only relatives she cares about the most.
Xu Siyu knew her ability to cause trouble, so she decided to confess to Lin Yiqing, hoping that he could help her cover it up. Or even if he couldn't help, then she could just continue to pretend she didn't know and protect the two children.
Xu Siyu invited Lin Yiqing to go boating on the river with her.
On a very cold day, smoke floats on the river, and boating is a special kind of fun.
Lin Yiqing thought that there were too many boats at home, and Xu Siyu had thought of some way to make money and wanted to discuss it with him, but he ended up opening up a new world.
"This, this, this..."
In the closed cabin, Lin Yiqing looked at the box of jujube paste cakes that Xu Siyu conjured out of thin air and turned him around several times, unable to believe it.
He was obviously mentally prepared, but it was still amazing to see it with his own eyes.
"Qingqing, do you know magic?"
"I guess so. As long as you have money, I can buy a lot of things you want in the spiritual world." Xu Siyu tried her best to explain in a way that Lin Yiqing could understand.
I dare not say that Pinxixi can buy everything, I can only use many alternatives.
She once wanted to buy a gun for self-defense, but Pinxixi didn't sell it.
"So, high-yield seeds are all products of the spiritual world?" Lin Yiqing thought a lot, "And the white rice that was used to pay taxes back then, too."
Xu Siyu nodded.
"If you eat these spiritual things, will you become an immortal?"
I didn't expect Lin Yiqing to ask this.
Xu Siyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're dreaming, aren't you? If that were the case, wouldn't I have let my mother ascend to immortality early? This spiritual creature has descended to the mortal world, and has become a mortal creature. It can only be of a slightly better quality than ordinary ones."
Lin Yiqing nodded first to show that he understood, then shook his head to indicate that her description was incorrect.
"That's not a little bit better."
Lin Yiqing now sees Xu Siyu as a fairy. He is excited about his unique beauty, but also worried that the person in front of him with such incredible abilities is a fairy that he cannot keep.
Lin Yiqing couldn't help but hold Xu Siyu in his arms, holding her tightly, fearing that the fairy would fly away.
"Okay, stop hugging me. I have something serious to say."
Xu Siyu tried to loosen her arms a little, but the man still held her anxiously.
"That's what I said."
Well, it’s cold, and it’s quite warm to hug.
"I was too naive in the past and got into a lot of trouble. Yunzhou only wanted money, but Lu Zichong wanted my life. Fu Hexiang was his lackey. When he hijacked the car that day, he might have intended to take me away from the city, but he arrested the wrong person and killed my mother."
Xu Siyu said it briefly.
Xu Siyu still felt sad when she thought of Xu Wangshi, but a long time had passed and she no longer cried over a single disagreement.
"Is this related to your magic?"
"Yes and no. In this world, no one knows everything about me except you. They just saw the seeds and were ready to attack me."
The potential of the iceberg is all below the sea level. Some people only see the tip of the surface and use all their means against her.
Lin Yiqing understood.
Seeing that she still didn't understand the importance of the grain, he said earnestly, "My dear, 'food is the most important thing for the people.' Do you know that if you truly gave away countless seeds and sowed them on the fields of the Great Li Dynasty, it would be no less than recreating the Great Li Dynasty."
"But doesn't Lichao have corn, no, wheat?"
When Xu Siyu was collecting ingredients for date paste pastry, she had already used corn, which the people of Dali called Western wheat. Since it was sold in Changjia Prefecture in the southwest, which was considered a remote place, she thought it had become popular in Dali Dynasty.
Lin Yiqing pointed at her temple, prompting her to think about it. "You know, bran wheat was originally a tribute from Yunnan. It only yielded one dan per acre, and its price was comparable to the best new grain. Most people didn't know how to cook it, so who would waste money on this new stuff? Only the wealthy and restaurants would occasionally buy it to try. Bran wheat has a sweet and bland taste, not particularly delicious, and it was impossible to sell. It was only since you gave your recipe to Xiangmanlou that the bran wheat that Zhou's grain and oil shop brought in was put to good use..."
"So, the yield of corn is less than that of rice? And it doesn't taste sweet either?" Xu Siyu was surprised.
Lin Yiqing answered her helplessly: "If the court hadn't designated the Zhou family to try planting it, who would plant it?"
Xu Siyu thought about it and felt that she knew too little about this fictional Dali Dynasty.
She only vaguely knew that dynasties existed before the Tang, but that they later split and reunited, and that the Cheng Dynasty, not the Song Dynasty, was established. The Cheng Dynasty lasted for three hundred years, marked by constant wars. Several northern ethnic groups repeatedly invaded the territory, and the southwestern tribes each established their own defenses. However, there was no foreign race to unify the Central Plains, the Yuan Dynasty. The weak and impoverished Cheng Dynasty was overthrown by the Li Dynasty...
