Chapter 202 All Under Heaven Belongs to the King
A quarter of an hour later.

Mrs. Wang, who had tasted sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn in turn, shamelessly pleaded, "Master Cheng, can I go to the backyard and pick some corn to bring back?"

"Well, we don't grow much, so we can only give you three or five corns to take back and try. The rest need to be kept for seeds." Cheng Long hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed to Mrs. Wang's request.

Neighbors are neighbors, we see each other every day. Just give each other a few corns as a gift.

"Thank you, Master Cheng. You are so kind."

"You are welcome."

Cheng Long smiled, turned around and ordered, "Fei Fei, go to the backyard and pick five corns for Sister Wang. Pick the good ones."

"I want to pick them myself and see what corn looks like..." At this point, Mrs. Wang suppressed her inner restlessness and asked expectantly, "Master Cheng, can you take me there?"

"..."

Cheng Long looked back at Susu, Huahua and Feifei, and saw that they were chewing corn like little hamsters, not paying any attention to Madam Wang, so he shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."

"Borrow a basket."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly picked up a bamboo basket and followed him out impatiently.

After walking through the corridor and circling for about a hundred meters, a dense and thriving corn forest came into view.

The land in the backyard of the Bai Mansion is fertile, and sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn are all growing very well. One corn stalk can produce three or four corn cobs.

They are all very full.

Cheng Long guessed that the fertile land was only one of the reasons. The fundamental reason for the increase in the yield of these crops was probably the abundant spiritual energy.

Just like the rice here, it tastes very good and he can finish two big bowls of white rice.

Unfortunately, the output of staple food here is very low. In ancient times, there were no scientific researchers like Mr. Yuan, so it was very difficult to ensure that all people had enough food.

There is abundant spiritual energy and crops grow well, but the corresponding consequence is frequent insect pests, which requires farmers to spend more energy.

"Mr. Cheng, are these corns? They look so beautiful... Oh!" Mrs. Wang, pretending to be excited, took two quick steps forward, then she twisted her foot in a very exaggerated way and fell directly into Cheng Long's arms.

"Mrs. Wang, are you okay?"

Cheng Long held Mrs. Wang's slender waist and looked down to see a patch of white. This woman was so careless that she even forgot to wear a bellyband when she went out.

"Master Cheng, I sprained my ankle. It hurts so much!"

"I'll ask Susu to come over. She knows medical skills."

Cheng Long supported Madam Wang and was about to let go when she pulled his hand and said, "Master Cheng, how about you rub it for me? Maybe I'll feel better if you rub it."

"Are you really spraining your ankle or is it fake?"

"Of course it's true, if you don't believe me, just look."

Mrs. Wang slowly pulled up the hem of her skirt, revealing her fair calves.

"Mrs. Wang, are you in a hurry to go out today? Why aren't you wearing pants?"

"..."

Mrs. Wang's cheeks turned red. Before coming here, she was only concerned about seeing Master Cheng as soon as possible. She just put on her skirt and walked over. She didn't care about these things at all.

After a moment of silence, she said shyly, "Mr. Cheng, now is not the time to talk about this. Please help me rub my ankle. It hurts so much!"

"No, it's not appropriate for men and women to touch each other. I'd better let Susu do it!"

"It's okay. It's an emergency. Please help me take a look."

"I don't think there's any problem..."

Cheng Long grabbed Madam Wang's hand and said earnestly, "But if you still feel pain, I will carry you back. Don't you have ice at home? Take a piece and apply it. It will relieve the pain a lot."

"go home?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up. Her husband's house was quite big. She could easily find an empty room and take advantage of Mr. Cheng, whom she had been eyeing for a long time. Then the house would be full of her people, and the other party would have no use shouting at the top of his lungs.

Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Master Cheng."

"Come up!"

Cheng Long turned his back to Mrs. Wang.

When Mrs. Wang saw this scene, she was so excited that she forgot to pick the corn. She threw away the basket and lay down on it impatiently.

One minute later.

Cheng Long carried Madam Wang to the palace next door and went straight to the master bedroom. Madam Wang was about to say something when a trace of imperceptible evil spirit entered from her nose. At the same time, another trace of evil spirit entered the master bedroom through the crack of the door and drifted into the nose of the sleeping landlord Wang...

……

"Why are you back so soon?"

At the Bai Mansion, the three fox sisters looked at the man who came back not long after leaving, their eyes full of joy. Mrs. Wang was always flirting and making coquettish gestures, and the three girls knew what her purpose was at a glance.

I thought Master Cheng would not be able to resist trying it, but I didn't expect him to carry the person back and come back right away.

"Carrying someone home, sending them home and then coming back, isn't that normal?"

"..."

The three girls smiled at each other and said, "Sir, we have tasted the sweet potatoes and potatoes. They are not only delicious, but also have a large yield. They will definitely be very popular if promoted. I just wonder where you plan to start?"

"There is no rush to promote it. I plan to contract a piece of wasteland first, and then hire dozens or even hundreds of people to cultivate it. I will let them plant sweet potatoes, corn and peppers, and then take care of them until the autumn harvest..."

Cheng Long’s idea is actually very simple, which is to let those who participate in land reclamation and farming understand the amazing yield of sweet potatoes. After the autumn harvest, he will cook a pot for them to taste. At that time, even if he does not ask for it, these farmers who have planted sweet potatoes will take the initiative to buy sweet potato breeding.

By doing this, you can not only store more food for seeds, but also avoid quarrels. Apart from being more expensive, it is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

Bai Su Su obviously also realized the advantages of this plan, and praised from the bottom of her heart: "Sir, you are so smart. How come I didn't think of such a good idea!"

"Haha, if I wasn't smart, how could I win the hearts of you three sisters!"

"Virtue!"

……

night.

Palace, master bedroom.

"My husband, you look so handsome today! You look exactly like Master Cheng. I want more..."

"Ah~~Wife, I can't take it anymore, really not a drop..." Halfway through the words, the weak Landlord Wang turned around and was about to escape from the room, but when he ran to the door, he suddenly fell to the ground. Then his ankle was grabbed by Mrs. Wang. Half of his body fell out of the door, but was directly pulled back by Mrs. Wang little by little.

After using his spiritual sense to detect this scene, Cheng Long couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. In order to get rid of Mrs. Wang's entanglement, he deliberately used puppetry on the couple.

He also exercised a deeper level of control over Mrs. Wang, so that when she looked at her short and ugly husband, his appearance and figure would naturally transform into her own.

This is somewhat similar to Professor X's and the White Queen's mind control, but a little different.

To put it bluntly, it is like giving Landlord Wang a filter that only targets his wife. When others see him, he will not change at all, but when Mrs. Wang sees him, Landlord Wang will become taller and more handsome.

Judging from the situation, the effect is quite good.

It’s hard for the rich man Wang.

Women are like wolves at the age of thirty and tigers at the age of forty. I'm afraid that Mr. Wang, who is fat and weak, will become skinny in no time!
……

Cheng Long is a pragmatic person.

He decided to reclaim some wasteland and hired people to grow sweet potatoes, corn and peppers. The next morning, he went to the town and bought a large piece of wasteland.

Wasteland in ancient times was just wasteland, not ownerless land. The reason it was left wasteland was purely because the tools were simple and the cost of reclaiming the wasteland was too high. In addition, the fertile fields and forests controlled by the wealthy landlords and royal relatives were enough for them to live a leisurely life, so there was naturally no need to reclaim more land.

As the saying goes, All under heaven belongs to the king!

On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers!
In the ancient people's concept, everything including land belonged to the emperor, and the emperor would distribute a considerable portion of the land to princes, nobles or some meritorious officials.

Landlords usually do not take care of these lands themselves, but rent out most of them and collect rent. Generally, the more fertile the land is, the higher the rent will be.

In this situation, all land in ancient times had corresponding owners, even wasteland was no exception. Generally speaking, farmers could only reclaim wasteland with approval from the government.

Therefore, Cheng Long’s first step in promoting sweet potatoes was to buy land from the large landowners in Shuangxi Town, and then hire farmers to open up wasteland for planting.

Of course, if someone secretly opens up a small piece of wasteland or mountain to grow vegetables, as long as they are not discovered, basically nothing will happen.

After all, it is a wasteland and few rich landlords care about it.

But he was different. He wanted to plant a lot of sweet potatoes, a lot of peppers and corn. It made such a big fuss that everyone in the town knew about it on the first day of work.

Mr. Cheng, who was wealthy, bought 300 acres of wasteland from the mayor in one go. He began to recruit people to open up and plant crops that day. He recruited people casually and accepted almost everyone who came.

Maybe the offer is high and the job is for an annual period, so there are a lot of applicants.

In less than two hours, three hundred people were recruited.

If it weren't for the three sisters Susu helping with registration, Cheng Long would have been too busy to handle it all by himself.
