I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 282 The Ruyi Realm has expanded again!



Chapter 282 The Ruyi Realm has expanded again!

But he really wanted it, and he couldn't bear to put the rice back in his hand.

Cang Lingxuan walked over, gave his father a sly look, and nudged him with his elbow when his cousin, the emperor, couldn't see.

Cang Nanxi looked at his troublesome son, who was eating corn with gusto without even glancing at him, and immediately understood!

Yes, find his daughter...

The group watched as Anshun directed people to distribute the rice, moving the bags of rice apart.

Once all the rice had been moved aside, a rich medicinal aroma wafted out from a cloth bag.

The fragrance of the medicine, like a mysterious aura emanating from an ancient secret realm, lingered in every inch of air, deeply moving the soul, as if it could penetrate the disturbances of the world and reach the depths of the soul.

Before, the rice sacks were covered up, so no one could smell it. But now, everyone in the Imperial Study can smell it.

The aroma of the medicine was mixed with a faint fruity scent; this smell...

Cang Nanxi was the first to react, and strode over, eager to confirm his guess.

Picking up the cloth bag, opening it, and exclaiming in surprise, "Oh my gosh... this..."

His contorted face, contorted with pain, drew everyone's attention.

Everyone was curious and wondered what it was, as they had never seen Prince Dun with such an expression on his face before.

Before long, everyone saw Prince Dun holding a bright red, rotten fruit in one hand, which appeared before them.

The rich medicinal aroma mostly comes from this fruit.

Upon seeing the thing, Long Yi exclaimed in surprise, "A fig!"

Good heavens, it's all rotten.

Is this still edible?

He vaguely felt a pang of heartache; it was a real pain.

Cang Lingyuan also walked over quickly and saw his angry uncle staring at the cloth bag, panting heavily.

"Uncle," are there any good ones left inside?

The figs are soft, and weighed down by those rice bags, I'm afraid...

Whoops!

His heart ached too?

Regret it!

If, if he weren't so greedy, this fruit...

It's all over now!

Cang Nanxi tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and stared blankly for a long time. He took a deep breath, exhaled, and said in a deep voice, "Long Yi, bring a small basin."

Well, after hearing what Prince Dun said, those figs must have "not survived," they were all crushed.

Cang Lingyuan clutched his chest with both hands, saying with great distress, "Make some more water, and we can share it later."

I don't know what the cloth bag was made of, and it wasn't soaked by the fruit.

Dongfang Jin: This kind of bag has a heat-insulating effect; the outside is cloth, and the inside is aluminum foil.

You country bumpkin, you have no taste!

Anshun exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty! This is ginseng! Five, five, five hundred years old, a quantity of..."

Cang Lingxuan dropped the corn in his hand and shouted, "Ah... ten... ten, ten stalks!"

Cang Nanxi shoved the cloth bundle in his hand into An Shun's hands, saying urgently, "Everyone who finds it gets a share..."

……

Dongfang Jin was unaware of what was happening here. After waking up, she was comforted by Gu Chenglin for a while before enjoying being dressed and getting out of bed by him.

"what time is it?"

Gu Chenglin combed her hair: "It's almost dawn. Shall we eat here or go out? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. You need to give the children red envelopes."

Dongfang Jin exhaled a breath of turbid air: "Let's go out to eat. Get me some purses, put some silver in them. Give each of the little ones two taels, those over ten years old three taels, and the older ones and Mengshan and the others five taels."

Aunt Hui and Sister Yumei will be given silver notes, and each person will also receive a jade hairpin. The other sisters-in-law from the Meng family will be given silver hairpins, and so on..."

Gu Chenglin smiled gently and said, "You are the mistress of the house, so you should give it to her yourself."

"Just give those children one or two taels of silver. I see you have quite a few children's headdresses and pendants in your box; let them choose for themselves."

"Alright."

"If you don't understand, just ask Aunt Hui. She's definitely familiar with this."

"Okay, where's Ruyi? Why is it so quiet outside?"

In the past, when she and Gu Chenglin were in the house, that guy would always play music and watch cartoons.

It's unusually quiet outside now.

Gu Chenglin smiled helplessly: "It's still farming. They say there's a lot more land in the Ruyi Realm."

"Oh?"

More land has become available?

The moment Gu Chenglin put down the comb, Dongfang Jin stood up and walked outside. She needed to see what was causing that land to expand again.

Seeing her like this, Gu Chenglin shook his head, smiled indulgently, and followed closely behind.

Upon arriving at the hall, he didn't follow his wife out; instead, he turned around and went straight to the warehouse.

He had to prepare everything his wife wanted. His wife was right; money was just an external thing.

Since they've received a considerable windfall, they should generously distribute some of it to their servants rather than to outsiders.

This way, those people will be more loyal and won't be bought off by small favors from outsiders.

Also, Xiaojun has to deliver food to Ci'an Hall in the south of the city today, so he should take some silver with him.

Sigh, I don't know what his wife was thinking. There are countless beggars in the world. Can she help them for a while, or can she help them forever?

Thinking about what she said, "Does that mean doors are left unlocked and lost items are not picked up on the road?"

can you?

Haha, do you really want all the children in the world to be able to study, like in their world?

He felt it was somewhat far-fetched!

The elderly still have support, and the young are still cared for... haha... difficult!

When Dongfang Jin came out, he saw a different Ruyi Realm, which was lush and green everywhere.

It was as if this area was dressed in a lush green gown, full of vitality, and the verdant scenery was refreshing. It was as if the entire Ruyi Realm was surrounded by the vitality of life.

It feels like stepping into a dreamlike green wonderland, where the soul finds the gentlest comfort and purification amidst the lush greenery.

My mood immediately improved, and my body felt incredibly relaxed.

"Little Ruyi, what's the reason for your territory expanding again?"

Ruyi flew over excitedly and said, "Jin'er, I think it's possible that you gave all the stock here to the Emperor."

Think about it, he has a contract with us, and he's an emperor with great fortune; if we give him those things, he certainly won't keep them all to himself.

Dongfang Jin stepped towards the field: "Is that the reason?"

However, it seems that this is not the reason, and there is no other one.

It's more accurate to say that Emperor Shengde had a contract with Ruyi than with her, as most of the things he gave her were products from the space.

It makes sense once you think about it.

"Think about it, we sent so many things to the border before, and this is only a tiny bit more," Ruyi gestured with its little finger.

"Now, look, these lands are in the central area, which is the best land. What does that mean?"

“I’ve thought about it for a long time. If we give those things to the emperor, he definitely won’t eat them all himself. He’ll definitely give them to the officials as rewards.”

Then there are those seeds. You know, we had the villagers of Lingwu Village plant wheat, and they were all very familiar with it. And what was the result?

But the emperor is different. He can order anyone to plant, and you dare not plant them?

Not planting is disobeying the emperor's order, and what are the consequences of disobeying the emperor's order?

Just you wait. Once spring planting begins, all those crops will have to be planted, and I guarantee you, those people won't dare to embezzle a single seed."

Dongfang Jin listened to its logical analysis and agreed that it made sense. The emperor's words were imperial edicts, and how could you dare to disobey them?

Those people will definitely plant, and they will definitely actively plant, seeds?

Just like Ruyi said, if I gave you ten pills, no matter how hungry you were, would you dare to eat even one?

Let alone the officials, even the common people are all terrified of the powerful and wealthy, let alone the emperor.

Seeing the empty land, Dongfang Jin also became interested and used his mind to control the seeds in the bag next to him, planting them along with Ruyi.
