"How is it?" Yang Zijin stepped forward and asked.

Mo Li nodded and shook his head, "Only some people agree to grow potatoes, and others think this won't work."

"Where are they? I'll go to talk with them." Yang Zijin said.

He hesitated, "Your Highness..."

"Do you have a better plan?" Yang Zijin asked.

Mo Li said, "Okay, follow me."

Yang Zijin followed Mo Li.

They went to the nearest place first.

It was not the time to offer the meal. A lot of people gathered there.

Yang Zijin speeded up her pace, walked over there, and saw Xu Qing also among the crowd.

When Xu Qing saw Yang Zijin, he hurried out of the crowd and said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet. Her Highness is here, and if you have any questions, you can ask her."

But the crowd ignored him.

Upon seeing this, Xu Qing ran up to Yang Zijin and glanced at the roaring crowd behind him, "Your Highness..."

"Don't worry." Yang Zijin said, walking towards the noisy crowd.

She shouted loudly, "If you want to survive, just be quiet and listen to me. If you want to starve to death, then continue to behave like this."

Hearing that, people who heard her words shut their mouths, and the crowd finally stopped talking.

Yang Zijin said, "If you have any questions, you can ask now."

After she finished her words, the crowd looked at each other without saying anything.

"Nothing to ask? Then follow the instructions, plant potatoes, and overcome the difficulty." Yang Zijin said.

As soon as her words fell, a lady said, "We don't know when we can harvest the potatoes, and everyone has never planted them before. If we fail and miss the season of planting rice, we will be hungry again next year."

"Right, Your Highness, even if these potatoes can be grown, we can't keep eating potatoes to fill ourselves." A middle-aged man said.

After hearing their words, everyone nodded.

"Right, Your Highness."

"It's not that we don't want to plant potatoes, but we lack the confidence in planting them."

These people have these concerns. Yang Zijin knew about it a long time ago, so she came here.

She said, "I understand your concerns, but this is the only way. You know that His Majesty didn't send us enough food and disaster relief funds. We cannot live on these food and money until the season of planting rice arrives. Do you want to wait for death?"

"There is a reason for asking you to plant potatoes. Potatoes have a short growth period and high yields. You only need to take care of them, and you will not starve to death." Seeing no one speaking, Yang Zijin continued.

A middle-aged man standing in front of the crowd said with a worried expression, "Can potatoes keep us alive until next year? After the flood, we don't even have a quilt for the winter."

"You don't need to worry about this. When the potatoes are harvested, you can work together and find a few strong young guys to sell the potatoes out of the city, or exchange for the items you need." Yang Zijin said after hearing what the man was worried about.

Seeing that some people were still hesitating, she said loudly again, "You have escaped the flood and the plague. You have a good fortune. Instead of starving to death, it's better to have a try."

"Her Highness is right. Rather than starve to death, it is better to try." Xu Qing also said loudly.

An older person walked through the crowd and walked to Yang Zijin, "Your Highness, even if we obey you, the dam is destroyed. Now His Majesty doesn't care about us anymore. In a few days, the rainfall will increase, and the potatoes will suffer a lot!"

As soon as the old man said this, the crowd became anxious again. They forgot the most fundamental problems.

Yang Zijin said with a smile after hearing this, "Don't be panic. His lordship has made arrangements for constructing the dam and has invited Liang Cheng, a famous craftsman in State Sui."

"Is that true?" The old man asked with a look of disbelief.

Yang Zijin said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can ask his subordinates."

Yang Zijin said and looked at Mo Li.

After hearing this, Mo Li walked forward and said to the crowd, "It's true. I invited Liang Cheng here, and he is planning for the construction of the dam. Once the drawings finished, he will start the construction."

"Where does the money for repairing the dam come from?" The old man asked.

Mo Li smiled and said to the old man, "Don't worry, His Lordship will pay for the construction."

After hearing this, the old man's eyes got a little red, and his face turned toward the sky and shouted excitedly, "Thank the heavens for taking pity on us and sending us a great official."

Then he knelt and kowtowed, "Thanks for His Lordship for all his contributions. We will follow his instructions."

Seeing the old man knelt, the crowd also knelt and said, "Thank you, Your Lordship. Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Qing also knelt and said, "Thank you, Your Lordship. Thank you, Your Highness."

Yang Zijin felt embarrassed to see this. She hurried forward and said loudly, "Get up. Get up."

After a while, they stopped. The old man looked at Yang Zijin and said, "It's our luck to meet you."

"You don't need to be like this. We just want to find out a solution. We count on you to work together and put the plan into practice." Yang Zijin said.

The old man then said, "Now His Majesty does not care about us. Without your help, we would starve to death."

After hearing that, Yang Zijin didn't want to explain more. Ever since Liu Ling told her the truth, she felt that Chushi Youtian was the most hypocritical person.

"After the potatoes are shipped here, I will teach you how to sow. I promise that as long as you follow my method, you can have a good harvest of potatoes." Yang Zijin said.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The crowd said.

Mo Li said, "Be quiet. Due to the lack of workforce, some strong people must help with the construction of the dam. Of course, we will offer you with meals as well as three copper coins."

"Copper coins?" Some people asked in disbelief when hearing that they could still get money.

Mo Li nodded.

After getting his confirmation, the young guys in the crowd said one after another.

"Now, as long as we can be full, we are content, let alone there are copper coins."

"I, I will go, I will go."

"Am I qualified?"

"Me, too. Me, too."

"Be quiet. If you want to go, you can find Xu Qing to sign up. When the construction starts, you will be notified to go." Mo Li said loudly.

He then turned to Xu Qing and said, "Then we will count on you."

"It's what I should do. We should thank you." Xu Qing said.

Then Xu Qing turned around and said to the crowd, "Line up. Don't be panic."

Hearing what Xu Qing said, everyone lined up in an orderly manner.

Xu Qing asked people to take a table, some paper and pens here. Then he started to register their names.

Seeing this, Yang Zijin relieved.

Mo Li walked up to Yang Zijin and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness. If it were not you, it would be difficult for these victims to follow our plan."

"I just said a few words. It's Marquis Shuo and you who reassure them." Looking at the long line, Yang Zijin said.

Then she asked, "What about other places?"

"Please don't worry, and just hand over the other places to me." Mo Li said and nodded.

She looked at him and said, "Well, okay, now that the problem is solved, then I will go back."

She was about to leave. Mo Li called, "Your Highness, please wait for a moment."

"What else?" Yang Zijin frowned slightly and asked.

Mo Li said, "Please wait for a while. I will send you back after making some arrangements."

"No bother. It's not far from where I live. I can go back by myself. Right now, the workforce is short. You don't need to take care of me. Do your own business." She said.

Looking at the long line, Mo Li knew that what Yang Zijin said was true. There were still many things to do, so he nodded and said, "Be careful on the way. "

"I see. Do your own things." Yang Zijin smiled and said, then she left and walked to her residence.

When Qiao Shu walked to Dean Shen's residence, she heard him tell others that they would return to Jing City tomorrow.

She became anxious after hearing this. Now she had no chance to kill Yang Zijin. If they returned tomorrow, how should she explain to Lan Ruojing? In case he told others about the thing that she asked people to pretend to be soldiers and make troubles, let alone herself, but her father would also be involved.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shu decided to do as planned. Lan would be the loophole.

Qiao Shu walked into the kitchen and started making pastries, but she added something to these pastries.

As long as an individual took this poison, he or she would immediately get into a coma. Then there would be a rash all over his or her body. The person would have a fever and finally die in a coma.
