Through Time Chapter 227

After leaving Uncle Fu’s place, Zhao Lang made his way to Elder Tian’s courtyard.

Tian Lao’s body was still very strong and there were a few more inconspicuous looking peasants in the courtyard.

These were all recruited by Tian Lao for him.

Although Zhao Lang was the head of the farming family, he still had the utmost respect for this old man in his own family who was devoted to researching grain technology.

If the Great Qin wanted to develop, it depended on these people who did not seek their own rewards and were dedicated to the world.

Of course, Zhao Lang would never treat them badly either.

“Chief, the potatoes from that mu of land, it’s another bumper crop!”

Tian Lao said cheerfully, he was happy to see the grain, but he soon said with a few doubts and worries that

“It is just that some potatoes have been found, instead, smaller than before, and I don’t know why.”

Zhao Lang didn’t really understand it, but he thought it was normal, but it did give him a warning.

“There is no need for Elder Tian to worry, there are many yields, and it is common to have big and small ones.”

“But if you take these big ones and sow them separately, and then select the best of the best, there might be a surprise.”

Hearing these words, Elder Tian’s eyes lit up with

“If this matter really comes to fruition, the potatoes could each be twice as big again!”

Thinking of that scene, Tian Lao couldn’t help but get slightly excited.

However, he did not dare to think more, and spoke with a few trembles in his tone, adding that

“No! If only it could be half as big, wouldn’t the mu yield go up to 1,500 pounds! Or even…”

“Two thousand pounds!”

Zhao Lang was actually unimpressed to hear this figure.

In a previous life, you would have been laughed at if you were to say that you grew potatoes and produced two thousand pounds per mu.

Of course, taking into account factors such as seed selection, renovation and fertilizer, two thousand pounds per mu was indeed an extremely impressive figure.

Zhao Long laughed at this time and said.

“Elder Tian, I believe you can do it, so take good care of yourself, I can wait for your two thousand pounds of potatoes.”

Hearing these words, Elder Tian nodded his head and said with a complicated expression that

“Don’t worry chief, I will definitely live for a few more years to see the good fortune of our farming family.”

Hearing this, Zhao Lang nodded his head and smiled, saying

“It’s right for old man Tian to think so, he must be healthy and fit!”

“Well, I will go to Xianyang this afternoon and return soon, and bring back a physician to take a look at your health.”

His farming family could not do without Tian Lao right now, and with him sitting in, he would not have to run around painstakingly one by one to subdue these farming people himself.

Little White Lotus had done very well though, and now the entire peasant population of Liaodong had been taken in by her.

But it still needs time to grow.

Time, that’s what he lacks most!

After instructing Elder Tian for a while longer, Zhao Lang left, ready to check out the new manor.

Looking at Zhao Lang’s back as he left, Tian Lao said to the honest farmer at the side of him that

“Tianyi, you can go and guard the chief from now on.”

Tian Yi, the honest farmer, said dryly.

“What about you, Elder Tian Yi?”

Tian Lao laughed and

“What does it matter to me? The new chief is the most important thing, and the farmers of the world depend on him for a good life.”

Tian Yi glanced at the direction Zhao Lang had left and stifled his voice to

“Tian Lao, I don’t like him, I can feel it, he’s not a good person.”

He was born with a keen intuition and relied on it to become an extremely good guard.

But when he heard this, Tian Lao burst out laughing and ended up with tears in his eyes, the

“Ah Tian Yi, it’s not good to be good!”

“Go on, protect him with your life!”

At once Tianyi sulked and followed towards Zhao Lang.

Soon, Zhao Lang found himself with an extra tail.

“You are?”

Zhao Lang looked at the farmer who followed him without saying a word and looked like an honest man.

“I am Tian Yi, Elder Tian asked me to protect you before you die prematurely.”

Tianyi spoke truthfully.

Zhao Lang listened with a dumbfounded face, are you here to protect me or to curse me?

Just looking at the other party’s naive face, Zhao Lang didn’t even have the desire to spit out.

Besides, your name doesn’t match your looks at all!

“Ahem well, that Tianyi ah, you go and talk to Tian Lao, I don’t need it, you just protect it well.”

Zhao Lang barely showed a smile and said.

Tianyi nodded in deep understanding and then said that

“I think so too, but Tian Lao said that you are not a good person, and there will definitely be many people who want to kill you in the future.”

“So I was told to protect you,”

“…”

Zhao Lang was silent, and only after a moment did he slow down, suppressing his impulse to say that

“Tian Yi ah, you usually talk like this? Didn’t get beaten up much, did you.”

Zhao Lang felt that such people could grow up so big and not be killed, which showed the simplicity and kindness of the people of Da Qin.

“They can’t beat me,”

Tianyi returned, in a muffled voice

“I know I can’t talk, and I’ll talk less in the future, but there’s one thing I want to say first.”

“If you encounter any bad luck in the future, it’s not my business.”

After saying that, he didn’t say a word.

Zhao Lang silently closed his eyes, and then slowly exhaled.

Then he came to Big Dog and Su, both of them had a smile on their faces when they saw Zhao Lang.

But when they saw Tianyi, their smiles instantly froze.

At first glance, they also looked like they had suffered a loss.

“Let’s go, to the new manor.”

Zhao Lang commanded to.

Several people walked towards the outside of the manor in silence at once.

When they reached the door, Xi also followed with his men.

In his capacity as Zhao Lang’s personal soldier, he naturally had to follow.

Soon several people were making their way over in the direction of the new manor house.

Tianyi kept his word and never opened his mouth.

The atmosphere gradually lightened up too.

It was only when they crossed the main road that the group was almost hit by a speeding carriage.

“What a man! Galloping horses, not afraid of hurting someone!”

Zhao Lang frowned and looked at the distant carriage and said.

There were still quite a lot of people on the road now, yet this carriage seemed to care nothing about it.

The big dog on one side returned and

“House Master, this is not the first time, there are a lot more people going to Xianyang these days.”

“I heard it was people from several families, gathered together to do something.”

Hearing this, Zhao Lang knew in his heart that it was probably about the Mo family and the Confucian family.

These two great schools of eminence had gathered in Xianyang and would certainly attract quite a few people.

Zhao Lang shook his head slightly and said

“These people are the ones who don’t put ordinary people in their eyes, Big Dog, you can’t follow this kind of people in the future.”

Big Dog nodded his head and returned.

“You can rest assured, family head, all of us on the estate are good people.”

Hearing these words, Tian Yi, who was on the side, however, could not help but hum.

When Zhao Lang looked over, Tian Yi looked like I have an opinion, but I won’t say anything.

“If you have something to say, say it.”

Zhao Lang said without good humour.

Only then did Tianyi sullenly say that

“Other people drive so fast, naturally they have urgent matters, perhaps they have died of their parents.”

Zhao Lang froze, for a moment he couldn’t tell who Tianyi was actually directing his words at.

And at that moment, in the distant carriage, there were two youths sitting, one of them was looking out of the window in disbelief.

The other one spoke to

“Zhang Liang, what are you looking at?”

Zhang Liang turned back around and smiled, and said

“Back to King Han, nothing, I thought I had met an acquaintance.”
