For potatoes is 70,000 SP and for Coffee is 125,000 SP. Seeing the prices Lie Fan gritted his teeth, and bought 2 packs of potatoes and 1 pack of coffee seeds spending 265,000 SP which was a large spending. Checking the seeds pack has been transferred to his inventory, Lie Fan also sees the Imperial Seal that he stored in his inventory. After coming back from Luoyang, Chen Deng returned the Imperial Seal that was in his safekeeping back to Lie Fan. Lie Fan then brought it into his room, where he then stored it in his inventory. His inventory is the safest place in the world to store this, as no one can ever find it except him. Seeing the jade-green Imperial Seal, Lie Fan was satisfied to manage to hold the prestigious Imperial Seal, as in the future the Imperial Seal would be lost near the end of the Tang Dynasty due to a power struggle. So the modern world can never see the lost Imperial Seal, now that Lie Fan managed to have it in his possession before he dies in the future he would like to make something that could prevent the Imperial Seal from being lost. Actually in the history of the Three Kingdoms, if Sun Jian hadn’t found the Imperial Seal at the well, maybe it would have been lost at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, meaning only 2 dynasties holding this Seal, Qin and Han. Lie Fan closed his inventory, he will wait for the Horse Farm construction to be finished before he introduces both potatoes and coffee. China’s land was very gold for planting potatoes and Coffees, in the future China will supply 20% of the world’s potatoes. As for coffee, Asia actually was a prime location for cultivating coffee with its mild temperatures, abundant rain, and rich soil. Future China predominantly cultivated Coffee in Yunnan, which is the southwest part of China part of Yi Province in the current Three Kingdom era. Potatoes and Coffee can help his soldiers as important supplies for the war in the future, Coffee can allow them to stay awake and keep warm during cold nights or winter. As for potatoes with their faster growth than rice, can become a staple food to replace rice which could reduce rice prices in the market, and more abundant supplies for war. Lie Fan stands up from his chair, leaving the study to join his family for dinner, and when he arrives at the dining room he sees that the Sima Brothers joined today’s dinner. At the dining table, Lie Fan, Diao Chan, Cai Wenji, Wannian, Sima Lang, and Sima Yi eat the usual foods served for dinner, while Ying Yue eats nutritious food for pregnant women. Lie Fan: “Yue’er is the food to your palate? If not I can ask the kitchen to make your other food.” Ying Yue: “No need Husband, today’s dinner is very delicious, and I have to show Littke Fruit that we can’t be picky eaters.” Lie Fan: “Haha Yue’er you have become cuter since pregnant, maybe Chan’er and Ji’er will be the same as you if they become pregnant.” Diao Chan + Cai Wenji: “Husband!” Lie Fan laughed out loud seeing the shy and red faces on both Diao Chan and Cai Wenji, Wannian smiled happily seeing Lie Fan interacting with her big sisters. Sima Lang and Sima Yi the two boys’ faces also turn red when they hear what Lie Fan said. Lie Fan then turned his attention to Sima Lang, he remembered that tomorrow Sima Lang’s exams would finally be held, as it was postponed due to Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Xun You, and Sun Qian being busy doing other things. If he remembers correctly Lu Zhi and Cai Yong will become the test overseers, these two men were known for their upright personalities so they were more qualified to oversee the test. Lie Fan: “Sima Lang how is your preparation for your test tomorrow?” Sima Lang: “Thank you for your attention Governor Lie Fan, I’m confident in my preparation for tomorrow’s test.” Lie Fan: “That’s great if you succeed in your test, My administration needed talented people like you to join.” Sima Lang: “Thank you Governor Lie Fan for the opportunity you offer, you have taken care of me and my brother alongside my family, and we will surely repay the favor and trust you put in us.” Lie Fan: “Haha it’s only reasonable for me to take care of the family of my friend, your talent is great and I would be happy to offer you the platform to show your talent to the world.” Sima Lang and Sima Yi were grateful for Lie Fan’s care, and they promised themselves that they would repay this favor, as Lie Fan acted like a big brother to them paying for their expenses and providing them with the best education he could offer. Lie Fan and the others continue to eat their dinner in a happy atmosphere, after dinner is done Lie Fan accompanies Wannian playing for a while. When playing with Wannian, Lie Fan goes to Ying Yue’s room to sleep there. The next day, in the morning everyone at the Lie Clan residence woke up early, Sima Lang was taking his exam today and everyone came to support him. Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m". Lie Fan has ordered the kitchen to make nutritious food for Sima Lang. Sima Lang was touched by the support shown by the entire Lie Family, he eats the nutritious breakfast made for him, giving some to his brother Sima Yi to enjoy some of it together. After breakfast, Lie Fan accompanies Sima Lang with his bodyguards to the Governor’s castle, as the exam will be held there at a neutral ground under Lu Zhi and Cao Yong’s request. In the room, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong are conversing with each other, they can be considered close friends and can meet again due to Lie Fan. Lu Zhi: “Cai Yong, what do you think of Sima Lang and his brother Sima Yi?” Cai Yong: “Both of them have great talent, especially Sima Yi even though he was the little brother, but the insight and intelligence are higher than Sima Lang.” Lu Zhi: “That’s true, I have taught them some Confucian teaching, but I can sense that they were more towards legalism but they still absorbed the knowledge very fast.” Cai Yong: “Their future is limitless, My Lord is truly lucky to have found two talented youths and taking care of them like his brother, they would surely support Lie Fan in his endeavor in the future.” Lu Zhi: ” Oh? Do you call Little Lie your lord? Looks like it’s true that you have acknowledged him as your lord, I thought you would be loyal to the Han Dynasty until the end.” Cai Yong: “I was very loyal to the Han Dynasty before, but my daughter made me change my loyalty. Also with the condition of the Han Dynasty now, it’s time for people like us to choose our side.” Lu Zhi looks at Cai Yong for a moment, what Cai Yong said is true with the current situation right now, reviving the Han Dynasty is very hard, as even the Imperial Scions didn’t help the Emperor, they didn’t even join the Coalition against Dong Zhuo. At this time, Sima Lang entered the room while Lie Fan and his bodyguards waited outside. Sima Lang greeted both Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, the two men he admired and respected, he could meet them thanks to Lie Fan. Lu Zhi and Cai Yong told Sima Lang to take a seat, and they explained to him that he would do 5 tests, the test time was 2 hours and in between each test, he could rest for 15 minutes. Sima Lang takes his seat and takes a deep breath, he nods his head to show that he understands the rules. Lu Zhi gave Sima Lang the first paper test and Sima Lang began his test to graduate. The test went on until late afternoon, Lie Fan was in his office doing some paperwork while waiting for Sima Lang to finish his exam. Lie Fan called for Jia Xu and Chen Qun asking them what position suited Sima Lang the best. Jia Xu and Chen Qun suggested that Sima Lang become a county prefect or administrator, even though he is young Sima Lang is more than qualified to become a prefect or administrator, even though he doesn’t have any experience. Lie Fan thought for a while and agreed with their suggestion, the most important county in Xu Province right now is Huai’An, and Lie Shang can be promoted to become Governor of Langye. Yu Yan can replace the headquarters of the Yu Merchant Group at Langye expanding their influence into a major town, while the interest of the Lie Clan will be handled by Sima Lang who becomes the Prefect of Huai’An. Lie Fan seeing the time was already late afternoon, brought Lie Fan and Chen Qun toward the exam room to wait for Sims Lang. When they arrive, they see Sima Lang talking with Lu Zhi and Cai Yong at the entrance of the room. Sima Lang was talking with Lu Zhi and Cai Yong turned his head and saw that Lie Fan was standing some meters away with Jia Xu and Chen Qun. Sima Lang said goodbye to Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, he approached Lie Fan and his teachers who were waiting for him. Lie Fan: “Sima Lang how is it? Are you confident that you can pass the exam?” Sima Lang: “Yes I’m confident Governor Lie Fan, thanks to the teachings of many teachers my knowledge has improved tremendously in learning in Luoyang.” Lie Fan: “Haha good! Even if you don’t pass the exam don’t worry, me and your teachers have seen the talent you have, when the result is announced whether you pass or not, you will become the Prefect Of Huai’An.” Sima Lang: “Prefect of Huai’An?! But isn’t Governor Lie Fan’s father, Master Lie Shang the Prefect of Huai’An?” Lie Fan: “Yes that’s true, don’t worry it’s time for my Father to be promoted to become the Governor of Langye, so his position in Huai’An will be empty which means you can fill in that position.” Sima Lang was grateful to Lie Fan for his trust, he bowed and vowed to serve him well for the rest of his life to repay the trust and care that Lie Fan put into him and his family. Lie Fan was happy that Sima Lang declared his allegiance, with Sima Lang declaring his loyalty to him means that the chance for Sima Yi to do the same will be high. (AT: I’m back!
