"This kind of thought can be traced back to the "Female Act" written by Ban Zhao in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Its words do not have to be wise and unique. It means that a woman's talent does not need to be revealed everywhere, but must be known to others."

"It can be seen from this that the ancients never thought that making women without culture would be a manifestation of feminine virtues, but instead advised not to show off or take talent too much into consideration, that's all."

Lin Qiuming's explanation is of course authoritative.

After he said this, the people around him showed a shocked expression and increased their knowledge. Li Chen also noticed that several of the powerful and powerful people were also shocked. Obviously, there were also a few illiterate people in this group of rich and well-off families.

After rubbing the little girl's head, Li Chen stood up and waved his hand and said, "Okay, the time is almost over. Let the people go and have lunch. After the meal, I will still have to rush to go."

Lin Qiuming immediately bowed and said that.

A large number of people went straight to the city lord's mansion. The banquet was already ready. Li Chen, as the protagonist, must attend, but Zhao Xuanji and Zhou Ping'an had their own reasons, and they were too lazy to interfere with these, so they refused. Lin Qiuming was not qualified to force it, so they had to ask someone to prepare a sumptuous meal alone to deliver it. Naturally, the others in the convoy could enjoy a big meal.

At the banquet, Li Chen sat in the top position. No one was qualified to sit at the same table with him, but Li Chen felt that it would be too stupid to eat one table by himself, so he asked Lin Qiuming to take a group of officials from Baoding Prefecture to the same table as him. In addition, the powerful people were really not qualified to go to the main table. However, they did not think that they could eat with Li Chen and sit at the same table. After six or seven tables, it would be a privilege to be able to join the seat with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

From this banquet, we can see that Lin Qiuming is indeed a smart and careful person.

He obviously inquired about Li Chen's eating habits in advance, so although the whole banquet was rich, there were no too expensive dishes. The top ingredient was just a deep-sea grouper. Although it was of great value, compared with the status of the people on this table, it was considered to be fairly normal. At least it did not produce any incredible things such as grouper eyes or chicken tongue.

What surprised Li Chen the most was that the staple food was actually a large pot of sweet potatoes.

Li Chen originally thought that Lin Qiuming wanted to please him, but later he realized that this was not the case.

"Your Highness, this sweet potato is really a success! Now, most people around Baoding Prefecture eat sweet potatoes as their main food, including roasted, porridge, and whole cooking. Some people find that after drying the sweet potatoes, they can make food similar to flour. This thing is simply a treasure, and it is easy to plant, harvest, and the yield is large. I don't know how many people are grateful to Your Highness for this."

Li Chen peeled off a sweet potato, which was covered with a slim veil of yellow and orange sweet potato, and his mouth was filled with a sticky and glutinous fragrance, which was satisfying.

Li Chen smiled and said, "This thing is worth promoting. It seems that your Baoding Mansion is doing well."

Lin Qiuming smiled lightly and said to Li Chen: "Your Highness, the largest grain merchant in Baoding Prefecture is also the one who firmly promoted sweet potatoes from the beginning. Under his leadership, Baoding Prefecture can realize the benefits of sweet potatoes so quickly. He is here. Should you meet me?"

Li Chen looked at Lin Qiuming with a smile.

As mentioned earlier, Lin Qiuming's position is unstable. If you want to maintain your position, you must not only make efforts on it, but naturally you must also seek support from local forces. This introduction is likely to be Lin Qiuming's favor to the other party.
