Traveling through ancient times

Li Shaohua was the last one to leave. He had already boarded the carriage, but wanted to get off when he saw the tea!

Gu Dalian said first:

"Mr. Li, there's no need to refuse. I'm giving you two kilograms of tea as a favor, but it's not free. When you sell it, you have to give me the principal like they did!"

Li Shaohua's lips moved slightly, he stopped talking, smiled and nodded, then waved his hand, and the carriage started to catch up with the carriage in front!

Looking at the brother and sister waving at each other through the side curtain of the car, my heart was filled with gratitude!

Miss Gu wants him to take the opportunity to make some money!

Although he had a car and a servant when he went out, he had little silver!

It was also because his so-called father saw that he was a good student and would be of great help to his eldest son if he became an official in the future, that he gave him a servant and a carriage!

Otherwise, he would be as submissive as his other half brothers, allowing the vampires in the Li Mansion to suck their blood and flesh every day!

Behind a tree, a pair of envious and jealous eyes looked back at Gu Dalian, biting the corners of their lips tightly:

"Gu Dalian, just wait. When my elder sister finds me a good family in the provincial capital, I will definitely trample you under my feet!"

Look at that brand new skirt and jacket, and the pair of emerald green lilac earrings on her ears, who else could it be but Gu Ermei!

Gu Dalian had a keen sense of perception. When she turned around suddenly, she saw Gu Ermei staring at her with vicious eyes and sneered!

I don't know what the old Gu family was thinking. They had a fight with the old man. Instead of sending Gu Damei to the Wu family as a concubine, I don't know what method they used to send her to an official from the prefecture and county who was passing by here as a concubine!

Or it was Gu Xiaomei who came over to tell me a few nights ago

Gu Damei told the two sisters that she would whisper in the ear of her husband and make sure that none of the Gu brothers and sisters would have a good ending!

Gu Xiaomei made a special trip for this purpose and asked them to be careful!

Gu Dalian sneered at this. What kind of trouble could a concubine cause?

You can bully me, but don't think I'm weak. I will let you know how powerful and firm I am and how determined I am.

If you dare to go too far in bullying others, I will make you taste the consequences of being an inhuman person!

The next day!

Zhang Fa led the village heads of Luyu Village, Zhao Village, Wangjia Village... and more than a dozen villages to come here. Some of the village heads were not familiar with Zhang, so they asked the village heads they were familiar with to bring them here!

Gu Dalian has a good impression of this kind of people. Only those who are dedicated to the village will put aside their reputation and use their connections to come here!

Gu Dalian warmly welcomed people into the living room. Of course, this living room belonged to his second brother, and it was also to avoid suspicion!

After everyone sat down, the maids served tea, and Gu Dalian said:

"Thank you all for your trust, uncles and aunts. As a citizen of the Darong Kingdom and a village lord appointed by the current ruler, Dalian will do her best to find a way for the villagers to develop!"

Zhang Fa couldn't help but sigh, Cuiyu Village has benefited a lot!

The heads of several other benefited villages also nodded repeatedly!

"Last winter, I discovered potatoes in the mountains. We planted 10,000 kilograms in Cuiyu Village and had a good harvest! Although the court also distributed the rest to various places, after all, there are more monks than porridge. This year, there will probably be many families who continue to grow potatoes. I don't have to worry about that!

Last year, we discovered another kind called sweet potato!

The court should promote it more in the areas north of Hebei County!

It should be implemented this year too!"

More than a dozen people looked at each other. I have never heard of this before. Let’s listen to what the gentleman said next!

"What I'm saying now is that you'd better go back and mobilize the villagers to open up wasteland, and wait for the imperial court to issue an order so that we can plant sweet potatoes!"

Zhou Lizheng from Luyu Village was familiar with Zhang Fa and came frequently, so he was naturally relaxed and asked his questions quickly!

"Miss Gu, the sweet potatoes you mentioned can be planted on newly reclaimed wasteland. Is this crop the same as potatoes?"

Gu Dalian smiled!

“Both crops, although different, sweet potatoes are able to grow in different types of soils, including sandy soils, loam and clay soils!

As long as you are diligent, apply fertilizer in advance, and maintain good air permeability and water retention, it will be beneficial to the growth of sweet potato roots!

Spring potatoes generally yield 4 to 6 kilograms per mu, and summer potatoes generally yield 3 to 5 kilograms per mu!"

Everyone was suddenly very excited, and some were so excited that they were shaking all over!

"My dear, is the yield really that high?"

"Miss Gu, how could the sweet potato have such a high yield?"

……

Everyone's heart was beating fast. As the village head who had been dealing with crops all year round, he had never heard of any crop with such a high yield!

"I know you all find it incredible. The average grain yield is no more than 1,000 kilograms. However, the potatoes we planted last year and the sweet potatoes we will promote this year are both new varieties. I believe you have already seen the bumper harvest of potatoes!"

"…This sweet potato can replenish Qi and promote body fluid, promote metabolism, and relax the intestines and promote bowel movements. It tastes soft and sweet, and can be eaten raw or steamed or cooked!…"

"Oh, this is great... we no longer have to worry about the villagers going hungry!"

Although Gu Dalian is only thirteen years old now, she is almost 1.65 meters tall and has a natural aura. With just a wave of her hand, the noisy living room becomes quiet!

"I have one more thing to do today. I want to ask the villagers if they grow medicinal herbs. If they do, they can sign up with you. I will teach them after the information is collected. I can also be responsible for recycling them after they are grown!"

Gu Dalian wanted the villagers to try growing one species first, and after considering for a long time, she decided to grow wolfberries!

This wolfberry is a variety that is rich and healthy. Whether in Dayong Kingdom or other countries, this kind of thing can only be eaten in the royal palace, so the price is naturally extremely expensive!

The villagers’ crops will ensure a good harvest regardless of drought or flood!

"Xiang Jun, what medicinal herbs are you talking about?"

"Wolfberry, also known as red earrings!"

"...hiss...this...this thing is not available to ordinary people!"

A village head who was unfamiliar with him took a breath of cold air. Seeing everyone looking at him, he felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained:

"I heard about this occasionally. One of my relatives was an apprentice in a clinic. He probably learned this one time and came back to show off to me, saying that red earrings are extremely rare and ordinary people can't afford them. Only princes and nobles can get them!"

"Country lord, is this easy to grow?"

"You can plant wolfberries now, but you need to choose flat, fertile land, apply base fertilizer and till the land."

"However, I hope everyone will not put the cart before the horse. We farmers mainly grow crops, and medicinal herbs are just a byproduct!"

Then, Gu Dalian asked Hu Li to bring more than twenty steaming sweet potatoes for everyone to taste!

Everyone exclaimed as they ate:

"Oh my god, this thing is sweet and sticky, isn't it just what my ancestors said about soft, sweet and fragrant!"

……

Then, Gu Dalian asked someone to take out the dried corn cobs and pass them around for everyone to see!

"This is also a new variety I discovered. It's called corn. It can be cooked and eaten when it's tender. Now, the corn you see in your hands can be ground into flour and become everyone's staple food!"

Then, Gu Dalian asked everyone to bring out a dozen small bowls of corn porridge for the village heads to taste!

Next, it’s the cornmeal steamed bread!

Everyone was laughing while eating. It was so filling and delicious!

"Xiang Jun, this thing is good!"
