    Gu Wan lowered her head and replied: "Yes!"

    "Hahaha!" The man who was sitting suddenly laughed, and Gu Wan heard his laughter. She didn't know what kind of medicine this man bought in his gourd. Then, Gu Wan heard the man's loud and clear voice.  The voice said, "Mrs. Gu, you are so smart. You can actually grow such a delicious sweet potato. You must know that even the Holy Emperor is full of praise after eating your sweet potatoes!"

    "Daughter of the people, thank you Lord for your kindness!" Gu Wan knelt on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and said gratefully. In fact, Gu Wan didn't understand the ancient etiquette very well, but she had watched TV dramas before, and it was like this on TV.  Just follow suit yourself.

    "Ms. Gu, my Majesty heard that your sweet potatoes are a high-yielding crop. One acre of land can produce about a thousand kilograms a year. Is this true?" After praising Gu Wan, the sitting man started to ask serious questions again.  .

    Gu Wan nodded and said softly: "Yes!"

    The imperial envoy clapped his thigh excitedly and said happily: "Okay, okay, our Dayue Kingdom has a small land area and many mountains. There is not much available arable land. In the past, when we grew corn, the people didn't have enough to eat. Now,  Well, we can plant sweet potatoes in a large area to solve people¡¯s food and clothing problems, hahaha, God has blessed me with a big moon!"

    Gu Wan seemed to have heard some information from the words of the imperial envoy. Was it necessary to plant a large area?  Doesn¡¯t that mean that the sweet potatoes should be used as seeds?  Gu Wan became nervous when she thought of this. The sweet potatoes at home had not been sold yet. If the official wanted to take away all the sweet potatoes at home, she could not have any objections. After all, in feudal society,  Going against the government is a dead end!

    Sure enough, after Mr. Guan got excited, he started to ask Gu Wan about planting sweet potatoes with great interest, and Gu Wan answered them one by one. In the end, Mr. Guan also knew that if he wanted to grow sweet potatoes, he needed sweet potatoes as seeds, so he patiently asked.  He asked in a tempered manner: "Ms. Gu, apart from the sweet potatoes sold, how many sweet potatoes do you have at home?"

    Gu Wan's heart skipped a beat, this was the time to grab money. She thought about it for a moment, and then replied in a calm and humble manner: "Master, I harvested sweet potatoes this year, so I sent a batch to the capital, and recently sold them.  Some, and some I plan to save for planting next year. Since you asked, I will give you ten thousand catties, what do you think?"

    After Gu Wan finished speaking, she was beating a drum in her heart. She was afraid that this man would be dissatisfied and offend him by accident!  Unexpectedly, the imperial envoy was very satisfied. He nodded very happily and said, "Well, our government will give you one hundred taels of silver to buy 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes. I will give you the money now!"

    The imperial envoy waved, and the county magistrate immediately took out a banknote and handed it to Gu Wan. Gu Wan did not refuse and accepted it generously.

    The matter was settled, and the imperial envoy was tired. He stood up and walked away, leaving only the county magistrate to handle the remaining matters.  As soon as the imperial envoy left, the county magistrate immediately became arrogant towards Gu Wan and said arrogantly: "Ms. Gu, I also gave you the money. When will you give me the sweet potatoes?"

    Gu Wan lowered her head and said indifferently: "Sir, the peasant woman lives in Lingshui Village, which is far away from the county seat. If you don't mind, wait two days and I will deliver it to you!" (Remember the website address: www  .hlnovel.com
