After more and more people became aware of Li Chen's support for Xu Changqing, Li Chen now had enough confidence to say this.

This is not just about power, but also shows that the Crown Prince truly supports his confidantes. He takes practical actions to help them, unlike those masters who would immediately abandon their subordinates once they run into trouble.

This impression would greatly elevate Li Chen's status in the eyes of court officials.

After all, who wants to follow a master who might abandon them at any time

Su Jinpa no longer spoke upon hearing this.

After all, a city magistrate is just one person. His future depends entirely on Zheng Baorong's abilities.

But at least for now, he is still just a pawn, far from influencing any situation.

"By the way, Your Highness, there's good news!"

Su Jinpa suddenly said excitedly, “Our sweet potatoes have produced the first batch of fruit!”

Li Chen was surprised and said, “So soon I thought it would be at least until February when spring arrives. Is it really done How much was produced”

Su Jinpa chuckled, covering her mouth and saying, "With your order as the Crown Prince, whether it's the hunting ground or the Liu family, they practically live on the field day and night."

And the farmers brought by the Liu family were indeed experienced. The hunting ground had not treated them poorly, providing them with good food and drink.

With such good treatment and no worries, they took care of the sweet potatoes with even more care, so the first batch of fruit was already out yesterday.

"Someone should have come to the East Palace yesterday to report, but I stopped them. Just a few plants bloomed yesterday, and with today's additions, at least half will bear fruit. Only then can we calculate the accurate yield. But so far, it is much better than other crops."

This good news brought great joy to Li Chen. He said, “Upon returning to Beijing, I will immediately go to the royal hunting ground. Once this is accomplished, there will be many things we can work on. It's just perfect if we can promote it before the spring planting. Then, this year, the impact of the disaster will be minimized!”

Su Jinpa looked at Li Chen's excited expression, feeling a little hesitant. She thought Li Chen was too optimistic. Just as she was about to speak, there was a strange noise outside the carriage.

"Your Highness, these are some commoners who came spontaneously to express their gratitude to you."

Before Li Chen could ask, the three treasures outside immediately reported back.

Li Chen was taken aback. He had only just left Guanhai Academy, and Zheng BaoRong's announcement about canceling extra taxes for ordinary people should have just been made. How could the news spread so quickly

After the carriage came to a stop, Li Chen stepped out, but he saw dozens of commoners kneeling on both sides of the official road.

Sān Bǎo came over and whispered, "Your Highness, these people are the relatives of the fishermen who had a brawl before. They have been guarding the Wehaiwei Yamen day and night. I saw them when I went to verify what Zheng Baorong said. Since they were the first to learn the news, they rushed over to thank your Highness."

"Master, your great kindness is beyond measure! Please accept our humble bows!"

In the crowd, a gray-haired old man first shouted and then bowed his head in reverence.

With him leading the way, dozens of others followed suit, kowtowing to Li Chen with similar expressions.

Li Chen jumped down from the carriage and walked to the old man, personally helping him up. After everyone stood up, he asked the old man, "Old sir, you don't have to be so polite. I've only done what I should... How many years old are you this year"i masters."Do a dozen martial arts experts think they can break my Gu worms Li Chen must be dreaming." Li Yinhu laughed arrogantly.But Zhou Xingjia, who stood beside him, shuddered and turned pale. "I...
