Qi Xiuyuan pushed open his door angrily and was shocked by Rong Ze. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Rong Ze put down the book in his hand and said, “How can I sleep without concrete news? How is it? How’s the estimated production of corn?”
“It’s alright.” Qi Xiuyuan explained the general situation and said, “If we’re really sure that we can plant a second season, there will be a lot of seeds next year. I’m not sure about anything else, but at least the rations of the people and troops north of the Yangtze River shouldn’t be a problem.”
Only then did Rong Ze heave a sigh of relief. With a smile, he said, “That’s good. Otherwise, we’ll have to humbly beg for grains again.”
“I’m not afraid of that. I’m just afraid that even begging won’t help. For the sake of the soldiers under me, I’d have no choice but to do some outrageous things…” Qi Xiuyuan laughed self-deprecatingly. “By the way, I’ll get Zijin to follow you for this period of time. Order him around as much as you can. Get rid of the conceit in his bones first. I’ll send him to the Shen family in Jiangling later.”
Rong Ze raised his eyebrows. “Actually, Zijin is very smart.”
“He’s not the only smart person in this world. What’s the use of being smart if he doesn’t know how to conduct himself? His father isn’t a good person, and my aunt is focused on him. It’s inevitable that she’ll neglect Zijin. He and Haoran fooled around in Lin’an Prefecture and he has grown to be so scheming. Now that he’s under my charge, he has to change his ways.”
“In this world, if you don’t scheme against others, you’ll be schemed against.”
“Still, there are things that you can and cannot do. Even thieves have a moral code. This kid, on the other hand, does all sorts of things. If we don’t correct him while he’s young and before he makes a big mistake, he might cause serious trouble in the future.” Qi Xiuyuan originally wanted to say that since he could make use of anyone to scheme for benefits at such a young age, he would probably wreck havoc when he grew up. However, it occurred to him that this was a sensitive topic, so he changed his words at the last minute.
“Shen San was similar to him when he was young. Perhaps it will do him good to spend some time with Shen San,” Rong Ze suggested.
“No way.” Qi Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, “I’m afraid that he’ll become worse. Is Shen San doing well now? You’re just deceived by his facade. He looks bright and open on the surface, but who knows what he’s doing behind everyone’s backs. It’s the fifth daughter of the Shen family that I want Zijin to seek. She’s a forthright and generous girl with the meticulousness of a woman. Let him discuss business with her for a while.”
Thinking of his two younger brothers’ different personalities, Qi Xiuyuan had a headache. “Zijin is too smart, and Haoran is too stupid. If the two of them neutralize each other, I won’t have to worry so much.”
