31: Chapter 31 Hello, Father-in-law!
Bathed in sunlight, Yang Fan opened his eyes.
He used to be woken up by an alarm clock, but ever since he was diagnosed with kidney failure, he always slept until he woke up naturally.
Yang Fan got up and washed up directly.
His movements woke Jiang Lan, and seeing Yang Fan getting up, she followed suit.
"Boss, do you have something on today?"
Jiang Lan also came over to wash up.
"Yeah, I'm going out for a few days. If you're free, go to the hospital and check on my grandmother."
Yang Fan planned to stay in the Tang Dynasty for a few days. After all, his kidney failure hadn't healed yet, and living like this—drinking every day with beautiful women around—wasn't great.
"Okay, I'll stay at the hospital when I'm free."
"Yeah, just go check on her during the day; you can come back here to sleep at night. I've already paid for the room for a month."
He was mainly worried about any emergencies, and his father wouldn't know what to do.
Yang Fan took out his phone and transferred one million to Jiang Lan.
The money for yesterday's sweet potatoes, potatoes, and meals had all been spent by Jiang Lan, and she hadn't asked him for reimbursement.
It must have been from the pocket money he gave her.
"I transferred one million to you. Just keep an eye on the hospital. I should be gone for six days."
"Ah... Boss, that's too much. I still have some money left!"
Jiang Lan hurriedly checked her phone.
She had indeed received a transfer of one million.
"It's in case something happens to my grandmother at the hospital. Just keep it for now. If I come back and it hasn't been used, you can just spend it yourself."
After all, in a place like a hospital, they won't treat you without money.
Who knows when the humanitarian spirit of hospitals disappeared? For surgeries and such, they only perform them once you've paid; otherwise, if you die, it's because you didn't pay the hospital in time.
It wasn't like this when the older generation was around...
"Okay, I will take good care of Grandma."
Since it was prepared for Yang Fan's grandmother, Jiang Lan naturally couldn't refuse.
"Yeah, wash up, have breakfast, and then go."
"Ah, oh!"
She didn't know why he was in such a rush, but Jiang Lan agreed anyway.
After Jiang Lan left, Yang Fan went downstairs and bought two more cases of liquor.
Then he brought the materials he had prepared yesterday and entered the transaction space.
Yang Fan could actually travel directly to the Tang Dynasty, but there was no need; it would make Emperor Taizong of Tang unhappy.
As soon as Yang Fan entered the space, he saw Emperor Taizong of Tang. This guy really got up early.
Emperor Taizong of Tang was looking at the sweet potato seedlings and potatoes Yang Fan had brought in yesterday.
Seeing Yang Fan enter, Emperor Taizong of Tang was speechless. He wouldn't even mention that this guy was sick.
"Are these seeds?"
"Smart. Both are grown underground. One is a staple food, and the other is a supplementary food. Both are cold-resistant and drought-resistant, and they aren't picky about the soil."
Emperor Taizong of Tang looked a bit skeptical. Just this?
"I'll have someone clear a field to test them."
"What are you holding in your hands?"
Yang Fan placed the items on the table; they were quite heavy.
"See for yourself. They're all written in Traditional Chinese characters, so you'll be able to understand them."
Emperor Taizong of Tang took a piece of paper out of the box, touched it, and looked at it.
"What good paper."
Then he saw the large characters on it: Modern Papermaking Technology.
He looked down; although he was confused, he knew this thing could greatly improve the papermaking process and allow for mass production.
Isn't this a sharp blade!!
With these things, a large number of books could appear, and the cultural fortress of the Aristocratic Families would be directly broken.
And it had both text and pictures.
"How was this drawn? It's so vivid. You've put a lot of effort into this."
"It wasn't drawn. If I say too much, you won't understand. Once you have a mobile phone later, you'll know."
Emperor Taizong of Tang nodded and flipped through the rest. There were also methods for mining salt mountains and filtering out toxins.
Emperor Taizong of Tang immediately stored the items in his private space. These were all national treasures.
Although he didn't understand many things, having only glanced through them, he understood many of the numbers.
"Not bad. You brat finally brought out something useful."
【Traded an item of immense value, rewards stacked to the limit, rating SSS+.】
【Received 3200 transaction points.】
【Remaining transaction points: 3350.】
Yang Fan was so surprised he opened his mouth wide when he heard the system's notification.
Good grief, he had spent tens of millions trading grain and only got 50 points. These documents cost almost nothing, yet he got 3200 points directly.
It seems it really is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish; the cost-effectiveness of trading grain was too low.
With so many transaction points, his space could expand significantly, and he could open new instances.
"Well, aren't you going to hurry up and give me the rest of the gold?"
Yang Fan wouldn't give him any face.
"Ahem, I'll give you half first."
Emperor Taizong of Tang took out 50,000 taels of zhenguan gold ingots from his private space. It sounded like a lot.
And it was indeed a lot!
Yang Fan stored them in his own space. If he sold all these gold ingots at once, the price of zhenguan gold ingots would probably crash.
However, he had already taken the bulk of it. After all, those characters were very valuable. As long as he controlled the speed of sales, the value wouldn't drop too much.
This gold was just a gimmick.
Emperor Taizong of Tang remembered something.
"Why can you return to your world directly without my help, you brat?"
"Because my talent is relatively high. You should reflect on yourself. I believe that in the future, you too will be able to return directly after coming to my side!"
Yang Fan's ability to talk nonsense was not bad; after all, he had heard a lot of it, and if he still couldn't do it, it would be unreasonable.
Emperor Taizong of Tang nodded seriously. It seemed he would have to study this system when he had free time later.
The two returned to the Tang Dynasty together.
"Um, Father-in-law, I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Why do you address me as Father-in-law?"
"I'm not old yet; there's no need for honorifics!!"
"It doesn't matter. That's how we call our wife's father back where I'm from."
"Have your Imperial Kitchen prepare some breakfast for me."
Yang Fan didn't treat himself as an outsider at all; as soon as he arrived, he wanted to order the Emperor's imperial chefs around.
Emperor Taizong of Tang's eyelid twitched, and he summoned Wang De.
"Go, prepare breakfast for my good son-in-law."
If Emperor Taizong of Tang hadn't been used to being scolded by Wei Zheng, he would have grabbed Yang Fan by the collar and taught him a lesson.
He was even ordering the Emperor around.
"Thanks, Father-in-law. Let's go to Brother Sun's place."
"You go yourself. I have serious matters to attend to and won't accompany you. If you want to go out of the palace to play or something, I'll have Li Junxian go with you."
"You know the location, so go ahead."
Emperor Taizong of Tang waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.
Yang Fan had zero interest in imperial power, so Emperor Taizong of Tang was quite at ease with him. Right now, what was important was digesting the technologies Yang Fan had provided.
Yang Fan made an OK gesture and left; he could guess some of Emperor Taizong of Tang's thoughts.
Emperor Taizong of Tang summoned Li Junxian and said to him:
"Follow Yang Fan and protect his safety, just as if you were protecting me, understand? If you go out of the palace, take some secret guards with you."
Although Li Junxian was a bit curious about the suddenly appearing Yang Fan, since Emperor Taizong of Tang had said to protect him as if he were the Emperor, he must be an extremely important person!
"Yes, Your Majesty."
