Chapter 357 Lord (1)
Will Fang Chen hit him?
"..." Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen looked at each other. Ji Xiaomu was speechless, but Fang Chen's eyes lit up.
"You are terrible." said Ji Xiaomu.
"You have a good idea." Fang Chen said.
They both said this at the same time and looked at each other.
Ji Xiaowu raised her eyebrows. "Do you think this is a good idea?"
"Logically speaking, what he said is not wrong. If I want to declare myself king, you are my wife, so you are above me, right? I have to listen to you." Fang Chen looked at Ji Xiaomu with affection in his eyes.
Ji Xiaomu's cheeks turned slightly red and she turned her face away.
"Using my name may not necessarily be a good thing. After all, my image of being loyal to the emperor and protecting the country is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone in the world knows that I am loyal to the emperor and patriotic. If I revolt..." Fang Chen's words made Ji Xiaou frown. Just imagine it.
Indeed, using Fang Chen's name would bring him a lot of objections and... trouble.
The prince will definitely define him as a rebel, after all, his uprising is neither justified nor legitimate.
People in the world don’t know the truth, and those who only know the surface will only say that Fang Chen is a traitor.
"But will it be okay if it happens to me? Are they willing to listen to a woman like me?" It's not that Ji Xiaowu is belittling herself, but this era is not friendly to women. Although it is more open now and women can come out to find some work and set up stalls, most men cannot accept a man listening to a woman.
"Auntie, don't underestimate yourself." Fang Chen disagreed with what Auntie Ji said. He didn't think she was much worse than him.
"I'm not saying it to sound bad on purpose. It's just the truth. In the eyes of ordinary people, I'm just an ordinary woman from a small village who was divorced." Ji Xiaomu said, "If they just investigate my identity, they will know the truth."
"I agree with the general. You are still underestimating yourself!" Bai Yichen said with a smile, "When have you ever cared about other people's eyes?"
"I don't care, but that doesn't mean I don't know it?" Ji Xiaomu smiled. How could she care? But people who didn't know her would definitely think so.
"You still underestimate yourself." Bai Yichen shook his head. "You should know that the land you rented in the village, as you said, as long as it succeeds, there will definitely be enough food in the future. Not to mention the value of the food, the most important thing is that you can grow it indefinitely."
"Food is nothing to the foundation of these big families, right?" Mother Ji raised her eyebrows. Would a big family care about this?
"General, please explain the value of these. Your wife doesn't seem to understand their value." Bai Yichen sighed. Ji Xiaomu said this as if they were very cheap.
"Auntie, the bigger the family, the higher the demand for food. When there is war, money is the most useless thing, because you can't buy food with money. Food is the most important thing to survive." Fang Chen said seriously. He agreed with Bai Yichen's point of view.
Ji Xiaomu still does not pay enough attention to the importance of food.
"Is the food shortage so serious?" Mother Ji asked in surprise. Even Fang Chen said so, so it must be very serious.
"It's very serious." Bai Yichen nodded heavily. "Even in the Imperial City, among the wealthy families, only the head of the family eats refined rice. Now everyone is tightening their belts. The people in the Imperial City are in a panic."
"I only told the events of your industrial chain to a few families on good terms with the Bai family. They immediately decided to move their families here and were willing to let their disciples work for you and pay a sum of property." Bai Yichen said seriously.
