?Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Instant Fame (4)_1 Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Instant Fame (4)_1 “As for vegetables, I don’t care about that. What I want is crops,” Chu Suifeng said with a straight face. “Hei Yi, come here and meet Miss Lin. From now on, if there’s anything, you will obey Miss Lin’s instructions.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” A man in black armor stepped forward. Lin Ziyin raised her head and found that he only had one eye. The one-eyed, burly Hei Yi stood before her like a black tower, instilling a sense of fear.
“I am Hei Yi, nice to meet you, Miss Lin. I hope you will give me guidance in the future.” His voice was low, and like Chu Suifeng, it carried a certain majesty.
“You’re too polite, Brother Hei.” Lin Ziyin returned the courtesy politely.
Chu Suifeng was clearly forcing her into this. Could she refuse?
“Little girl, he’s in charge here. Just call him Manager Hei, and don’t go around arbitrarily recognizing brothers.” Si Jinhan, for some unknown reason, started addressing the matter of proper titles.
“Third Prince is right. Miss, you better call me Manager.” Hei Yi was somewhat embarrassed, but he dared not offend Si Jinhan and went along with his statement.
“You have helped me, so my offer to you is this: all fertile black lands are yours to cultivate. If there’s any problem, you can go to Hei Yi for solutions. If Hei Yi is not available, there’s also Hei Er.” At this, Chu Suifeng interjected. As his words fell, a slim man in black armor emerged from behind him. “I am Hei Er. Miss, you may call me Manager Er.”
“Manager Er, I’ll be counting on you from now on.” Lin Ziyin smiled wryly and greeted him as well.
Since the matter was irrefutable, it would be better to develop good relations with him.
“Remember well how things are done here,” Chu Suifeng commanded sternly, preparing to leave with his Black Armored Guards.
“Little girl, don’t hide anything,” Si Jinhan leaned close and advised jovially to Lin Ziyin before leaving.
He was too close, and Lin Ziyin leaned her head back, feeling irritated. “Rest assured, Third Prince. Since I am a part of Feng City, I will faithfully execute the Prince’s orders. But the deed depends on heaven’s will, so do not hold out too much hope.”
Who doesn’t know how to make vague remarks?
“I hope you can deliver as you promise,” Si Jinhan left, laughing heartily.
Watching Chu Suifeng and his men leave, the villagers all felt a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Miss Lin agreed to continue the reclamation. Their jobs were secured for now.
“Miss, why do we need to intersperse the fields with canals?” Hei Yi was indeed a practical man. As soon as his lord, Prince Ling, left, he started earnestly learning from Lin Ziyin.
“Creating paths and canals between fields makes it convenient for people and carts to pass during harvest. The canals are for easy access to water and also to drain floods in case of heavy rain. In addition, we can raise some small fish in the canals as a source of income.” Lin Ziyin did not withhold, nor did she dare to.
“Miss, you plan to raise fish in the canals?” Hei Er was surprised. It seemed not many people enjoyed eating fish, and there were not many cooks who were good at preparing it. Would fish farming be feasible?
“It’s just incidental, and we won’t spend too much effort on it.” Lin Ziyin gave an awkward reply. She didn’t mention that she knew countless ways to prepare fish.
“After the wasteland has been sun-scorched and matured, it’s best to pave the roads around the fields with bluestone, which makes things more convenient.” Lin Ziyin reminded them again.
