909 I agree
Jiang Zhennan was really a little uneasy about what he was about to say. He was a little afraid that once he said this, Lin yuelan would mistake him for having ulterior motives.
At that time, who would he go to cry to?
Lin yuelan looked at his slightly uneasy expression and squinted her eyes. Then she said, ” big brother Nan, what is it? just tell me directly. I won’t do anything to you.”
In fact, she already had an idea in her heart.
However, it was also a pleasure to look at Jiang Zhennan’s cold face with so many different expressions.
In the end, Jiang Zhennan took a deep breath and said, ” Yue ‘er, I mentioned to His Majesty before the new year that I learned from you how to increase the yield per mu of land. Then, after the new year, he ordered me to secretly use my country estate for experiments. After it was confirmed to be effective, he would promote it nationwide!”
The reason why the Emperor wanted to do this was that he was afraid that the officials would question him and the people would not be willing to do it. Therefore, a demonstration was needed to shut those people up and give the people hope.
After Jiang Zhennan said this, he immediately said carefully, “Yue ‘er, I … I …”
He had already given over 1000 mu of land to Lin yuelan.
Therefore, Lin yuelan’s permission was required to use these fields.
However, he was worried that Lin yuelan would suspect that he had ulterior motives.
As expected, Lin yuelan’s expression changed, and she sternly asked, ” you … What do you want? Are you going to take back the 1000 mu of land?”
Jiang Zhennan’s expression changed immediately. He panicked and was very uneasy. He immediately explained, “No, no, how can I take it back? ”
When Lin yuelan heard this, she asked sharply again, “If you don’t take them back, what about the Imperial Order? You must know that your country estate was bestowed to you by the Emperor. He is very clear about what kind of land you have!”
Jiang Zhennan said, “Although the Emperor ordered me to carry out a secret farming experiment, he also casually said that he would use my country estate. However, it’s not necessary to use my country estate. I can borrow other country estates, as long as it’s done in secret. After that, I’ll explain everything to the Emperor. I believe that the Emperor knows that I’m using these country estates to repay your kindness in saving my life and won’t be too calculative. But …”
Jiang Zhennan said very seriously, ” so, Yue ‘er, I really like you. I don’t want you to be suspicious of me and feel estranged from me because of this. Please believe me, okay?”
When he said this, his attitude was somewhat humble and uneasy.
He carefully looked at Lin yuelan’s face with a nervous expression.
Lin yuelan asked in a serious and confused tone, “If you really don’t want to use your country estates for the experiments and want to find other country estates for the experiments, you can choose not to tell me at all. Then why are you still telling me?”
Jiang Zhennan looked at Lin yuelan’s expression carefully and said, ” Yue ‘er, I don’t want to lie to you. The reason I’m telling you this is that I want your help! Although we were involved in farming, there were still many things that we were lacking and unclear about, and we needed your guidance. However,”
Jiang Zhennan immediately let go of his feelings and said to himself, “Yue ‘er, if you’re not willing, don’t force yourself to agree with me. Because I don’t like it when you’re unhappy, compared to those experiments on farming and whatnot, your happiness is more important.”
Lin yuelan suddenly realized that this cold, fierce, and reticent general was now spouting sweet words one after another.
Although these words were not sweet nothings, they were the most touching.
If she were a little girl who didn’t know much about the world, she would definitely be confused by his words.
She looked like a little girl on the outside, but she was an Auntie on the inside.
Even an old lady like her felt a little sweet when she heard these words.
Of course, she could now tell whether Jiang Zhennan’s words were true or false.
Seeing Jiang Zhennan’s anxious and worried expression, Lin yuelan decided not to tease him anymore.
She smiled and said, “Alright, I agree with your request. Those country estates of yours will be used as the imperial family’s agricultural experimental base.”
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, he felt a burst of excitement. He held Lin yuelan’s hand and did not know what to do.
He said emotionally, ” Yue ‘er, thank you, thank you!”
This was related to the people’s livelihood. Whether it was for public or private reasons, he really hoped that Lin yuelan would agree.
However, Lin yuelan stopped him from thanking her. She said very seriously, ” don’t be in such a hurry to thank me. Since I’m working for the imperial family, I don’t want to work for nothing.” If it were only for Jiang Zhennan, she would not have to consider these things.
However, she would not let the royal family off so easily.
Jiang Zhennan asked, “Then, Yue ‘er, what do you want? ”
Lin yuelan said, ” I want 50% of the total harvest! 30% to you, and the remaining 20% to the Emperor!”
Jiang Zhennan immediately decided, ” no problem!”
These country estates were originally his way of repaying her, so they were her personal property.
There would be no problem for her to take all of the harvests.
Moreover, he had already given the Emperor 20%, so that was part of his promise completed.
Jiang Zhennan subconsciously ignored Lin yuelan’s words that 30% would be his.
In his understanding, what was his was also hers, so the 30% naturally belonged to Lin yuelan.
Lin yuelan was very satisfied with Jiang Zhennan’s reply.
However, a thousand mu of grain may be a great temptation to the Emperor. With his suspicious mind, no matter what, the Emperor would not let Lin yuelan take all fifty percent. In addition, she had a relationship with Jiang Zhennan. Even if the Emperor trusted Jiang Zhennan, he might suspect that Lin Yuelan had ambitions.
Lin yuelan continued, ” if the Emperor wants the extra grains, he can use silver to buy them! Also, I really don’t want the Emperor to interfere with my business.”
Jiang Zhennan immediately replied, ” alright, I will let His Majesty know about this.
Even if she didn’t say it, he wouldn’t let the Emperor interfere in her Affairs.
After all, Lin yuelan had many secrets. He had to protect her and everything about her.
Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” that’s fine. There are no problems for now. If there’s a problem in the future, then we’ll solve it later.”
Jiang Zhennan held Lin yuelan’s hand excitedly and said, ” Yue ‘er, thank you so much!”
Lin yuelan smiled and said, ” since you want to thank me, you must remember this. In the future, when the daughters of the capital’s noble families and Royal princesses find out your true appearance, you must remember to stay far away. Otherwise, I’m going to cut that scar back into your face!”
These words were full of possessiveness!
Although Jiang Zhennan had the fate of a jinx, it was hard to guarantee that people would not fall into a love-struck infatuation when they saw his face.
Jiang Zhennan’s cold face was filled with a pampering smile as he said, ” I will obey Yue ‘er’s orders!”
He didn’t have a woman in the past, and now he had Yue ‘Er. In the future, he would only have Yue ‘Er!
