Chapter 827 Planting Your Own Plants

"Do you still want to plead for Ji Hao now?" Wu Fan said calmly.

Do you still dare?

Of course he didn't dare. What if Wu Fan arrested him as an accomplice in a fit of rage? He wouldn't even have a chance to reason. After all, among the grains he bought, there were also government grains. If Wu Fan said that he and Ji Hao had colluded to steal and sell government grains, he might lose his head.

It's not worth it to gamble with your head for a favor.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. Ji Hao actually dared to steal and sell government grains. He deserved it!" The wealthy businessman surnamed Liu said hurriedly: "Your Excellency is wise and you did the right thing."

"It's not your business. Don't get involved. Otherwise, you won't know how you died." Wu Fan said.

"Yes, sir, that's right." The wealthy businessman surnamed Liu nodded repeatedly in agreement, and then he said with some concern: "Sir, most of the official grain in the city has been stolen and sold by Ji Hao, so there is no surplus grain to help the people?"

The wealthy businessman surnamed Liu said this for the refugees outside the city, but in fact, it was for his own sake.

Originally, according to Wu Fan's promise, they took out some grain to help the people, and Wu Fan took out some from the official grain. The two together could stabilize the situation outside the city and prevent the refugees from starving to death.

But now most of the official grain in the city has been sold by Ji Hao, and the grain that can be used to help the refugees is extremely limited. In order to stabilize the refugees outside the city, will Wu Fan let them take out more grain?

The wealthy businessman surnamed Liu had to worry in his heart.

"I will take care of this matter myself, you don't have to worry about it, you just need to do your part." Wu Fan said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't let you take out more food to bear all the relief for these refugees outside the city."

"You are joking, I am not worried about this, not at all." The rich businessman surnamed Liu laughed awkwardly.

"Not worried about this? Then why don't you take out more and help me solve the problem?" Wu Fan smiled lightly.

"You are joking again, joking again." The smile on the face of the rich businessman surnamed Liu became more awkward.

"Haha." Wu Fan laughed twice, ignored the other party, and walked straight into the city.

Although Wu Fan's way back to the city this time was not long, it was very difficult to walk, because there were always people who suddenly appeared to talk to him, and these people, like the rich businessman surnamed Liu just now, were all big families in the city, and they were all entrusted by the Ji family to come to intercede for Ji Hao.

It can be seen that the Ji family does have a deep network of people and a great influence in this Qingyuan County.

However, Wu Fan did not agree to any of these requests for mercy. After he explained the seriousness of what Ji Hao had done, those who came to ask for mercy were scared and retreated. Like the wealthy businessman surnamed Liu, it was not worth it for them to sacrifice themselves or even their entire family for a favor.

After Wu Fan returned to the city, he once again told Sun Liang not to let anyone take Ji Hao away, and then went to the grocery store in the city.

"Sir, are you sure you want so many seeds?" The owner of the grocery store asked Wu Fan in surprise.

After Wu Fan entered the grocery store, he directly asked to buy a large amount of grain seeds, rice, wheat, corn and even potato seeds. He wanted all of them, and he wanted as many as he could get. Later, he saw that there were various fruit seeds for sale here, so he bought fruit seeds as well.

Such a big purchase shocked the boss here. First, the number of seeds Wu Fan asked to buy was too large, and second, many of these seeds were not suitable for farming at this time, and it would be a waste for Wu Fan to buy them now.

"Sure." Wu Fan said, "Pack all these seeds for me and transport them outside the city. As for the money, you can go to Wu's house to settle the bill."

"Okay, sir, I will pack the goods for you right away." The grocery store owner responded quickly. He had just learned about Wu Fan's identity. As the only viscount in the city, the grocery store owner was not worried that Wu Fan would default on his debt.

With the help of the grocery store owner and several assistants, the various seeds that Wu Fan needed were quickly packed, and then the assistants transported them to the place specified by Wu Fan.

Wu Fan then visited several other grocery stores in the city, all with the same requirements.

When Wu Fan arrived at the designated place outside the city, the assistants in each grocery store had already seen the carriage waiting here.

"Leave the things here, and you can go back." Wu Fan said.

"Yes, sir."

The assistants responded, and then left the carriage and seeds and went back to the city. It was not until everyone had left the sight that Wu Fan put the purchased seeds into his backpack.

"Not only is there a shortage of food in this world, but also seeds. Qingyuan County is still a small county, and the number of seeds is even less. Otherwise, I could buy more." Wu Fan said to himself while putting the seeds into his backpack.

The grain in the government warehouse was stolen and sold in large quantities. In order to rescue the refugees outside the city, Wu Fan could only think of other ways. It was not realistic to buy it in other cities. First, Wu Fan did not have so much money. Second, other cities were not necessarily better than Qingyuan County. In this world, everyone knows how precious food is. There are many people who secretly hoard food. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. What's more, Wu Fan has no money. Wu Fan's identity as a viscount can still play a role in Qingyuan County, intimidating those big families to take out food, but it may not be useful in other cities.

Therefore, the method of buying food does not work. In this case, Wu Fan thought of planting it himself, and he even thought of the place to plant it.

Before, Wu Fan had thought about planting by himself, but he just couldn't think of a suitable place. The back mountain of the Hermit Village was suitable, but there were already various ingredients planted there. Moreover, although the space there was not small, it was not enough to solve the problem of food for hundreds of thousands of people. Therefore, Wu Fan thought of using the food in the government warehouse and the food of the big households in the city to solve the problem.

However, now that he had to choose to plant, he thought of a good place to use.

And Wu Fan used the identity of a player to plant, which was simply a lot of benefits.

First, the ingredients planted by players take a very short time to mature, which can be as short as a few days or as long as a month; second, players do not need to be restricted by climate and time when planting ingredients. Even if the current solar term is not suitable for growing rice, this is only for the aborigines, and Wu Fan is not affected by this.

Wu Fan had verified these two points in the back mountain of the Hermit Village before. This is his "welfare" as a player. The aborigines here cannot enjoy it. Now he can take advantage of this.

The scene changed, Wu Fan had left Qingyuan County and appeared on Tianshan Mountain.

"This is it!" Wu Fan said to himself as he looked at the deserted Tianshan Mountain.
