Chapter 1061 We Dare to Fight

  She looked around and found that smoke was rising from many houses. It seemed that everyone in the village would have dinner late tonight.

  Shen Qingqian stopped a woman passing by and asked with a smile, "Aunt, I saw potatoes at Aunt Chen's house just now. Does every household in your village have them?"

  "Yes, what's the matter? Aunt Chen's potatoes are not enough for you to eat? I have some red-skinned ones at home, which were also distributed by the court. They seem to be called sweet potatoes. Do you want them? If you do, give me some silver and I will sell them to you." The woman rolled her eyes and said immediately.

  Shen Qingqian waved her hands quickly, "No, no, I'm just a little curious, is the court so good now?"

  She asked this on purpose. After all, there have been cases of deceiving superiors and concealing the truth in every dynasty. What they see with their own eyes now may not be the real situation. They still have to find out clearly.

  "You are not from Chenzhou, are you?" The woman looked them up and down, "Don't you know that Chenzhou is now governed by the late Crown Prince and the General Zhenbei? They are all living Bodhisattvas!"

  Then the woman began to tell all the recent events in a tangible way.

  After listening to this, Shen Qingqian kept looking at Sheng Ze's expression and found that he seemed to have nothing to do with it and did not react at all.

  "Thank you, aunt, for telling us this. It seems that our family has to go to Chenzhou to do business as soon as possible. With such a government, we will definitely make money by doing business with you!" Shen Qingqian thanked and achieved her goal at the same time.

  The woman had an expression of "as expected" on her face, and said enthusiastically: "Then you must speak well for us when you go back. If anyone wants to migrate, they can come to our place. Now that His Highness is here, our lives will definitely get better and better."

  "Okay, I'll tell more people there when I get back." Shen Qingqian said a few more polite words before sending the woman away.

  Before leaving, the woman said, "If any bastard comes to ruin our good life, we will fight them to the death! You can come without worry, His Highness is with us!"

  Shen Qingqian was amused by these words. After the people walked away, she looked up at Sheng Ze and asked with a smile, "How about it, Your Highness, do you have no feelings after hearing these words?"

  "No," Sheng Ze shook his head, looking extremely calm, "I'm just doing what I should do."

  If my father were still alive and had abundant grain production, he would certainly not be stingy with the people.

  Shen Qingqian was very happy. In this era, there were very few people in power who could have such cognition, and Sheng Ze was one of them, which meant that she was not wrong about him.

  Aunt Chen's man followed Sheng Ze and Shen Qingqian from a distance. Seeing that they didn't look like bad people, he returned home early and told Aunt Chen about it.

  The two returned to Aunt Chen's house, had a big potato meal, and went to bed after a simple wash.

  The next day, when the sun shone through the simple earthen walls and wooden windows, Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze had already gotten up and dressed.

  After saying goodbye to Aunt Chen and her family, they continued to head south and soon left Chenzhou and entered Linzhou.

  Although she was in a hurry to travel, Shen Qingqian would still seek shelter in a village when she came across one. Sometimes when it rained, she would stay for a day or two.
