The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 84

The strong men almost cried with excitement.

"Princess, will you still harvest fodder and beans in the coming year?"

"Take it!" Xu Yin's answer was very affirmative, "It's the same as sugarcane, take as much as you have."

They made up their minds and decided to go back and tell the patriarch that, except for those high-quality paddy fields that still grow rice, and the high-yield rice that was exchanged with the princess, all the second-class fields are interplanted with corn and fodder beans.

In their village, the second-class fields are several times the number of first-class paddy fields.

In the past, I always complained that God did not give them a way to live, that the rice yield was low, and that corn was a waste of land, but now I understand: it is not that God does not give them a way to survive, it is because they have not found the right direction.

Xu Yin also cared about the growth of a handful of sugarcane. The woodworking workshop is about to finish the juicer, and is waiting for the sugarcane to be shipped in batches to produce sugar.

The sugar workshop has already been selected and is under construction, which is in the southern suburb of Fucheng.

The rich and powerful prince bought all the fields around the workshop and used them exclusively for growing sugar cane.The sugar workshop and the sugarcane base are planned in one place, saving transportation troubles.

A few days after buying the land, Yan Kejin received a letter from a guard who had gone to Yuezhou to buy fruit saplings by flying pigeons, saying that in a county town in the east of Qin County, he found the black and purple sugarcane that the princess mentioned at the beginning. People grow it and sell it as fruit.

When Xu Yin heard the news, she urged Yan Kejin to write back to the guard, asking him to buy all the purple-skinned sugar cane there, and then count the quantity. It's better to build a sugar workshop directly in the local area.Brown sugar boiled from black and purple sugarcane is the best!
The sugar cane is all right, she wrote the method of burying it in the end of the letter, and if it is preserved in this way, it will not rot next year.

As for the candidates for the sugar...

Dongxue followed her back and forth several times, and had already mastered the production of brown and white sugar, so she was sent there to make sugar after a year.

There is not enough manpower, so I will send a few rough envoys to help.

The guard's reply letter has not yet been received, and the task progress bar of [Exploring Baigui County] given by the system has moved forward a little without a sound.

It was verified that her guess was correct - as long as she sent out people, the harvest of exploration would also belong to her.

At this rate, maybe the whole Baigui County can be explored years ago:
Because Yan Jiu went to the rainforest area, he indirectly explored the Southwest.

Eleven first went to the Outer Continent, and now he stayed in the east of Qin County, which was equivalent to exploring the south and southeast areas of the county.

After thinking about it, she asked Yan Kejin how many guards he had seconded, and sent them to the north of the county, the east of the county, the west of the county, and around the city.

The task given to them is to inspect the local specialties and geographical environment.

What the common people planted, what they ate, and what they did for a living, recorded everything in detail and brought it back for her to see.

The task time limit is set at the year before.

For the guards of the palace, it is still necessary to be neat and tidy during the Chinese New Year.

If this strategy works, then in the coming year, the other four counties can be swept up in this way.

Xu Yin is looking forward to it.

Eleven was the first to come back from his errands. He pulled a carriage of southern fruits and specialties and rushed back to Fucheng before winter.

"Princess, the sugar factory has been built. The sugar cane bought earlier has been buried in the soil according to your method and can be dug up at any time."

Xu Yin praised him a few words.

Yan Kejin felt sour when he heard it, and waved his hand to let Eleven back down: "Very free? Then go help Brother Ten. He went to the west, and there was only one news. .”

"Yes, my lord."

"Hey wait."

Seeing that Eleven was leaving, Xu Yin asked Mammy to pack a portion of the banana slices, taro sticks, dried sweet potatoes, and popcorn that were baked a few days ago, and signaled Eleven to take them to eat.

"It's been a hard time these days, take these to try something new. When the fruit tree seedlings you brought are planted next year, there will be more dried fruits. There is roast duck in the big kitchen today, and you can bring one back to add another one." Cai, wait for you brothers to come back, and then I will clean up the dust for you."

Yan Shixi thanked happily.

From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of the master's displeased expression, his back felt cold, and he hurriedly backed away with his bundle in his arms.

Yan Kejin waited for him to go out, then turned to look at the princess: "Didn't you say that those were all made for this king?"

Xu Yin hesitated slightly: Did she say that?

Even if I said——

"... Can you eat that much by yourself?"

"If you can't finish it, it's my king's."

"……"childish!
"These are freshly baked and delicious, and they will become oily after a long time. I thought you were just trying to eat something fresh... Okay, I know you like it, can I make it for you every once in a while?"

Yan Kejin: "..."

What's the matter with the tone of coaxing the child?

Xu Yin took the opportunity to change the topic: "Let's go and see what fruits Eleven brought back. He said that some of the fruits that crossed continents grow strangely. I don't know if they taste good..."

Yan Kejin let her drag her to the front yard.

Xu Yin thought there were only fruits and other local products, but she didn't expect that there was also a box of South Sea pearls.

Yan Kejin glanced at it, then stuffed it into her arms with disgust: "The color and specification are not considered high-quality, and it's okay to wear it as beads for fun."

Xu Yin was amused, this arrogant man.

"Then what kind of pearls do you think can get into your eyes?" She looked at him jokingly.

Yan Kejin snorted and said, "Wait."

Xu Yin didn't know why.

Until dinner, he came to the main courtyard with an exquisite jewelry box.

"Send it to you."

Xu Yin took it and saw that there was a pair of jade white pearls in the jewelry box, each of which was as big as a pigeon's egg, white and crystal clear, shining in brilliance.

"My mother's relic, if she is still there, she will definitely give it to you."

"But..." Xu Yin looked up at him, "This is not something I can wear."

Yan Kejin glanced at her: "It's just for you to keep it, not for you to wear it, why panic! Didn't you ask me what kind of pearls can enter my eyes? At least this grade."

"..." The dog man.

……

Entering the twelfth lunar month, the guards of the Yanzi team sent out to investigate all came back one after another.

Yan Shiwu brought back local specialties from the east of the county and a thick pile of records, and reported happily:

"My lord, my concubine, fortunately, my subordinates are not disgraceful!"

Xu Yin looked at the things he brought back, no wonder the young man was so happy, he dared to find a mountain of coal in the Dongshan District of the county——

Monster Mountain, which is called "an ominous place" by the locals.

The mountains are all black, not a single blade of grass grows, and every year during the Ghost Festival in July, there is sometimes black smoke lingering on the mountain.

Yan Shiwu was lucky enough to see a coal mountain in Yanbei when he was marching with King Jinnan. It was very similar to the people's terrified explanation, so he prepared enough rations and drinking water, went deep into the mountain for exploration, and found that it was indeed a coal mountain. Stretching hundreds of miles, coal reserves will never be small.

"it is good!"

Even Yan Kejin, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help being ecstatic at this moment.
