Chapter 45: Giving Seeds

What His Highness Prince Rong did was simply crueler than killing them.

From now on, they can only be a working machine, without freedom, let alone a future.

For a time, the entire scene was filled with sounds of begging for mercy and wailing.

Qi Mohan couldn’t feel the slightest sympathy for them, so he directly ordered them to be sent to the mountain village immediately.

It was now the end of April. It can be said that this rain has come in time. As long as it rains for another two or three days, it will be completely moistened, so it will not be a problem to plant some crops with a short maturity period.

When a group of people rushed back to Qiushui City despite the rain, it was already bright, but the rain still showed no intention of stopping and instead fell heavier and heavier.

Some low-lying areas have already stored water, and some water sources have also accumulated in rivers.

As usual, the people would line up to get porridge when the time came.

Qi Mohan arranged for people to send the officials and their families to a mountain village, and explained that food was precious now, so there was no need to feed them every meal, as long as they didn’t starve to death, let they have a taste of pain what Qiushui City has endured.

Immediately afterward, he led people to inspect the porridge soup site and returned to the mansion.

Qi Mohan went directly to the two little ones’ residence because he wanted to communicate with Si Si and ask her to help get some seeds.

Let’s not talk about whether Si Si’s grain crops were high-yielding. If he doesn’t ask for her help, Qi Mohan really can’t do anything here. Everyone was so hungry that they were eating grass and chewing tree bark. How can they still keep grains?

As soon as Qi Mohan stepped into the yard of the two little ones, he smelled the familiar aroma of fried chili peppers.

Ever since she got the fresh ingredients provided by Si Si, Imperial Concubine Yun completely fell in love with the kitchen and followed Si Si’s teachings to make different kinds of food every day.

Qi Mohan spent the night and escorted those people back to Qiushui City this morning. It was already noon, and his unsatisfactory stomach grumbled several times in response to the aroma of vegetables.

He simply walked into the kitchen, took off the bamboo hat, and handed it to the maid, then walked away from Imperial Concubine Yun.

Imperial Concubine Yun had just prepared the fried pork with chili peppers and put it on the plate. When she turned around and saw her son coming back, she immediately beamed with joy: “Mohan, you’re finally back.”

Looking at Imperial Concubine Yun’s condition, Qi Mohan knew what must be going on: “Mother, what happened?”

“What happened?” Concubine Yun pointed in the direction of the two small rooms: “Look at that room. If you don’t come back, I won’t know how to put things away.”

Although she didn’t say this clearly, Qi Mohan understood it.

Miss Si Si must have asked the two little ones to bring back a lot of supplies.

Qi Mohan turned around and walked to the two little ones’ room with interest. Seeing this, Imperial Concubine Yun also followed.

As soon as the door opened, Qi Mohan was simply stunned.

The entire room, not only the floor but also the table and bed, was piled with various supplies. Not to mention, even the doorway was blocked. He and his mother could barely squeeze in there…

“Mother, why did Miss Si Si send so many things today?”

And these things were different from the usual ones. They were not just grains, but also many vegetables.

Talking about the things piled up in the room, Imperial Concubine Yun was dumbfounded. She explained: “Qing’er and Mujin got up early and went to Si Si’s place. Si Si said that she helped us purchase a lot of supplies yesterday. Her warehouse is full, so she asks the children to come back and transport some over now.”

“I thought that since Miss Si Si had taken all the trouble to help us purchase supplies, we shouldn’t let her be distressed because she couldn’t store them, so I asked the children to tell her that she could deliver some supplies here.”

“I never thought that Miss Si Si would send so many things at once.”

As she spoke, Imperial Concubine Yun stretched her arms, which were so tired from carrying supplies.

“I thought it was only one or two push carts, and 1 person could finish unloading it with some effort.”

“Unexpectedly, Miss Si Si had prepared so much this time. I had no choice but to call 2 maids for help. ”

Speaking of this, Imperial Concubine Yun was afraid that Qi Mohan would worry about the secrets of the two little ones being exposed, so she explained: “Don’t worry, these two maids were trained by me, so there is no need to worry about their loyalty.”

Qi Mohan didn’t pay too much attention to these. He knew that the matter of transporting supplies was really not something that his mother and the children could complete without anyone else help.

“Han Yi and several of my subordinates already know about this, and now that another 2 maids know about it, let them be responsible for carrying the supplies.”

Imperial Concubine Yun nodded: “Okay, I’ll do as you said.”

After the mother and son finalized the decision, Qi Mohan called Han Yi and Han Er and asked them to move the supplies from the room to a side room first.

Both of them were good at martial arts and their strength was far beyond ordinary people. Even so, they were very tired when half of the supplies in the room were moved.

It happened that Imperial Concubine Yun’s dishes were cooked in the kitchen, and the two little ones rushed back at the right time as if they had calculated the time.

At the same time, Si Si’s video recording was also brought.

Qi Mohan didn’t know that the main reason why he ran to the two little ones after finishing his work was to see the latest news from Si Si.

Now that he heard about Si Si’s video message, he grabbed the phone from Imperial Concubine Yun.

Si Si in today’s video looked a little embarrassed, her hair was even soaked with sweat, and her face was flushed. Qi Mohan looked at it and felt inexplicably distressed.

Because he knew that Si Si must have spent a lot of effort transporting so many supplies.

Qi Mohan stared at the phone screen in distress. Si Si seemed to be familiar with them and smiled and waved.

[Imperial Concubine Yun, Qi Mohan, thank you for giving me furniture, calligraphy paintings, etc., which allowed me to successfully solve the crisis at home. From now on, I can concentrate on preparing supplies for you. I can provide you with supplies until you can be self-sufficient.]

[Today, I will send you some vegetables. Although you can maintain your life by drinking porridge, it’s not a long-term solution. If you eat it with some vegetables, your health will be better.]

[Also, I heard from Qing’er and Mujin that it has started to rain where you are. I believe it won’t take long for the soil to be cultivated. Inside those sacks are the seeds I prepared.]

[Corn seeds are high-yield and have the shortest maturity period. As long as they can be planted before summer, it will not affect the autumn harvest. I have checked a lot of information and confirmed this. You can plant with peace of mind.]

[In addition to these, there are also seeds of melons and potatoes. I found a video on how to plant them. Just after I recorded this video, you can study it later.]

After Si Si finished speaking, she waved her hands to say goodbye to the screen again.

[Okay, I will continue to contact those suppliers and collect more supplies.]
