    When Hardmon heard Wang Qi¡¯s words, he suddenly panicked.

    He stayed in Nanyang County for more than a month, always in fear and hiding, and finally waited until Zhai Feizhou died. When Nanyang County stabilized, he no longer had to worry about being killed or robbed.

    Now, with great difficulty, I met two well-dressed young ladies from a wealthy family with outstanding temperament.

    Once he misses it and he tries to find an opportunity to leave, he will have no chance.

    We must seize the opportunity now.

    Hardemon took a deep breath, nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, sir, I really have the goods. Moreover, they are rare treasures. The goods in my hand can prolong your life if you eat them. They are peerless treasures."

    When Zhao Yuyan heard this, she tugged on Wang Qi's sleeve.

    He signaled Wang Qi to leave.

    It¡¯s clear, Zhao Yuyan thinks this is a liar.

    Hardemon reacted greatly and said quickly: "Oh, this pretty, beautiful, virtuous, and gentle lady, please listen to me. This food of mine can not only prolong life, but also beautify and whiten your skin. Eat it.  Finally, it is also very good for women. In fact, the skin can be broken by blows. Don't underestimate this magical thing."

    Phew!

    After Zhao Yuyan heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

    It¡¯s really funny.

    She didn¡¯t believe these words at all.

    I just feel that these words are just deceiving ghosts and are completely false.

    Hardmeng¡¯s expression remained normal and he continued: ¡°Miss, you are doubting me. Since you doubt me, you might as well give it a try. I can guarantee that you will not regret it.¡±

    Zhao Yuyan snorted and said no more.

    Wang Qi looked at Hardemon. Faced with Wang Qi's scrutiny, Hardemon said again: "Sir, don't worry, my treasure is not worth the money. If it is really not a treasure, feel free to kill me."

    Wang Qi asked: "Where do you live?"

    Hardemon was delighted and replied: "I live in the west of the city."

    Wang Qidao: "This place is some distance away from the west of the city, and it is quite far away."

    Hardmon said quickly: "Don't worry, sir, I'll go back to Canada to get it right away. Don't worry, it won't take long."

    Wang Qidao: "After you pick up the goods, go directly to the county government office and say that the county magistrate asked you to go. Just ask the county magistrate."

    Hardemon raised his eyebrows.

    He understood immediately that the person in front of him was actually the county magistrate.

    It is Wang Qi, the newly appointed young county magistrate.

    There was a moment of hesitation in Hardmon's eyes, because the person in front of him was the county magistrate. If you don't pay attention, you could easily lose your head.  But immediately, Hardemon said firmly: "Please rest assured, Magistrate Wang, I will go to the county government office later and I will definitely deliver the sacred object."

    "Go!"

    Wang Qi waved his hand.

    Hardmon turned around and left.

    Zhao Yuyan frowned and said: "Brother, this man has blond hair and blue eyes. He must be a liar. I have seen descriptions of alien races in some books. He has blond hair, blue eyes and a burly physique. These people are all barbaric alien races and the reincarnations of evil spirits.  , what should he do if he goes to the county government office?"

    Wang Qi smiled and said: "It won't have any impact if we meet him once. If he has ulterior motives, just kill him. Even if he lies, we can deal with it."

    Zhao Yuyan said: "That's true."

    Wang Qi continued to wander around with Zhao Yuyan, but there was not much to play and see in Nanyang County.

    After going around in a circle, it becomes boring.

    Wang Qi and Zhao Yuyan went straight back to the county government office.

    Zhao Yuyan went to the backyard, while Wang Qi was waiting in the lobby of the county government office.  Not long after, the soldiers came in and reported that it was Hardemon who wanted to see him. Wang Qi immediately let him in.

    Hardemon entered the county government hall, respectfully, not daring to go overboard in the slightest, and very nervous.

    He was also carrying a bag.

    Hardemon stood still in the hall, put the bag down on the ground, stood still and said: "Wang County Magistrate."

    Wang Qi asked: "Hardmon, where is your sacred object?"

    Hardemon replied: "I have brought it back to the magistrate, and they are all in this bag."

    Wang Qi glanced at it and sneered in his heart.

    If it were true that he had eaten a treasure that could prolong life, Hardmond would still be willing to keep it in the bag.

    There is a problem at first glance.

    Wang Qi, however, did not expose it. He waved his hand and ordered: "Bring it here!"

    Hardmon said: "Yes!"

      He untied the rope of the bag, took out a red-skinned object that was bigger than his fist, and said with certainty: "Sir, this is a sacred object. Eating it can prolong your life!"

    "Hahaha¡­¡­"

    Wang Qi looked intently and suddenly laughed.

    Hardmond said: "Why is Magistrate Wang laughing?"

    Wang Qi said: "Hadmon, are you from the Hercynian Empire?"

    "yes!"

    Hardmon nodded in reply.

    Wang Qidao: "Is this a divine object?"

    After hearing this, Hammond had a bad premonition in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong, but Hammond had no choice but to grit his teeth and comply, and said: "County Magistrate Wang, this is really a divine thing."

    Wang Qi leaned forward slightly and said: "As far as I know, this is a kind of food called sweet potato. It is planted in May and June and harvested around October. It has a large yield and does not require high soil quality. It is everywhere  All can be grown. Although sweet potatoes are also food, in fact, they are used to relieve hunger. If you really want to say that they are a delicacy or a divine thing, then that¡¯s not the case.¡±

    Hardmeng's expression suddenly changed.

    At this moment, Hardmon was shocked.

    As a businessman, he sailed on the sea, and then he arrived in Dazhou and learned a lot about the situation in Dazhou.  There are no sweet potatoes in Dazhou, and there is no food in his hands.

    It is precisely because of this that Hardmon said it was a divine object.

    Unexpectedly, it was exposed directly.

    Hardmon¡¯s cheeks twitched, his eyes wandered, and he didn¡¯t know what to answer for a moment.

    Wang Qi continued: "Why don't you speak? Did I say something wrong?"

    Hardemon smiled sarcastically and replied: "Mr. Wang, sweet potatoes are indeed sacred. Eating them can prolong your life. Especially the elderly, they are more suitable to eat. If the elderly eat them, they will live longer."

    Wang Qi snorted and said: "I have already told you what the characteristics of sweet potatoes are, how to plant them, and what their conditions are. Hardmon, do you still want to lie to me? Do you want to be beaten to death?"

    Hardemon was frightened by Wang Qi and said quickly: "Sweet potatoes are a very common food. Even people with high status do not eat this food at all. Only the lowest untouchables eat such food."

    Wang Qi nodded and said, "You have sweet potatoes, but do you have other food seeds?"

    Hardmon asked: "What kind of seed?"

    Wang Qidao: "Potatoes and corn seeds."

    Hardmon was immediately shocked and said: "Wang County Magistrate, do you even know potatoes and corn? Could it be that you have been to places far east of the Great Zhou Dynasty. These foods are not available in the Hercynian Empire in the far west.  Never."

    "Only in the farthest country east of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the other side of the ocean, are sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn. What I brought back this time is indeed sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes."

    Hardmon said: "I have all these seeds."

    Now, he doesn¡¯t dare to lie.

    Wang Qi knows everything. If he lies again now, he might be beaten to death.

    Wang Qi had a smile on his face. There really were potatoes and corn.

    good!

    Wang Qi¡¯s eyes were bright and full of joy.

    The main crops in Dazhou are wheat, rice, corn, soybeans, and some miscellaneous grains.  Compared with foods such as sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, the yields of wheat and rice are lower.

    Sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn are not good as staple foods. The problem is that in years of natural disasters, when food is scarce, this is life-saving food, far better than leaves, bark and the like.

    At any rate, it can fill your stomach.

    You won¡¯t starve to death.

    Wang Qi asked: "Hardmon, how many sweet potatoes, corns and potatoes do you have?"

    Hardemon replied: "Magistrate Wang, in the house I rent, there are still a thousand catties of corn, three thousand catties of potatoes, and five thousand catties of sweet potatoes hidden. These are all what I plan to do business with."

    ¡°It¡¯s just that I¡¯m in Nanyang, and no one is buying it, so I can¡¯t sell it.¡±

    "Especially during this time when bandits are raging, I don't dare to come out. Alas, it's so unlucky. I was originally a down-and-out noble of the Haixi Empire. In order to make money, I specialized in sailing and doing business on the sea."

    Hardmon said: "I hired a group of people and took a boat to the country to the east of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is a farming country called the Ghost Kingdom. It is not very strong, but it is quite good."

    "I exchanged a large amount of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn in the Kingdom of Ghosts, just to sell them in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

    "Unexpectedly, as soon as I settled in Nanyang, I encountered bandits attacking the city."

    "Oh, I'm so unlucky."

    Hardmon said: "I originally thought that I could earn countless amounts of money, but now I have gained nothing. It is even difficult to survive. Magistrate Wang, you are the new magistrate, do your best.  Help me."

    After Wang Qi heard this, his mind turned rapidly.

    In the blink of an idea, I have ideas.

    Wang Qi nodded and said, "I can help you, but I have conditions."

    Hardmon suddenly became energetic. He didn't care about the conditions. What he cared about was whether he could make money and survive well, so Hardmon quickly asked: "What are the conditions?"
