The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

In addition to bringing 100,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, Wang Lang also brought what Xie Shuting had always dreamed of, which was the hybrid rice that Mu Lao had studied in the past.

This is not a difficult task for her as she graduated from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The difficulty lies in the fact that it takes energy and time.

However, as a girl, she naturally could not roll up her sleeves and work in the fields. She could only write down her experiences of her previous life in a note and give it to Mu Lao.

Speaking of this Mu Lao, he is also a wonderful person. He has nothing on his mind except food. Although his family is rich and he has no worries about food and clothing, he is always thinking about changing the types of crops to increase yields.

With the help of her memories from her past life, Xie Shuting quickly arranged for Lian Yue to find this person and handed over her handwritten notes to him.

At first, the other party thought Lian Yue was a liar, but after reading the notes, he felt that the writer was an interesting person. He wanted to make friends and discuss things with him, but Lian Yue evaded the question.

It was obvious that Mu Lao was determined to succeed, and after some excuses, Lian Yue had to promise to help him when he could grow rice with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu.

Rice is suitable for cultivation in the south of the Yangtze River. Even in the best quality fields, the yield per mu is only 500 to 600 kilograms. It is generally difficult to achieve a yield of 1,000 kilograms.

Unexpectedly, Mu Lao readily agreed after learning about it. Following Xie Shuting's instructions, after four years, the seed research and development was finally completed.

Looking at the rice seeds displayed on the table, each one plump, moist and shiny, Xie Shuting could hardly hide her excitement.

She took the cloth bag and observed the rice seeds carefully, like a woman looking at her own child, with a look of doting in her eyes.

Xie Zhenghong and Xie Tingwen on the side looked at each other, with confusion in their eyes, because the look was too obsessed.

Xie Tingwen was really in agony and asked, "Shu Ting! What is this?"

"Rice seeds!~"

"Uh!~"

Xie Tingwen looked embarrassed, but still insisted: "Father knows that this is rice seed, but what is so special about this rice seed..."

Xie Tingwen was at a loss for words for a moment. He looked at the sweet potatoes on the table and said happily, "Is this rice seed also a high-yield product?"

Xie Zhenghong rolled his eyes at Xie Tingwen. No matter how much the rice seeds were planted, except for the loss of one kilogram of seeds, they would not be as much as the amount of sweet potatoes.

But before he could open his mouth to reprimand her, he heard Xie Shuting whisper, "How did father know? The woman hasn't even planted the experiment yet?"

Xie Shuting's words were like a stone thrown into a pond, instantly creating ripples and making Xie Zhenghong and Xie Tingwen feel uneasy for a long time.

He smiled but said nothing, and took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Miss! This is what Mu Lao asked me to bring. I think there is news in it."

"Oh!~"

Xie Shuting took the letter in surprise, unfolded it and read it, then smiled knowingly and said, "Mr. Mu is indeed a man who roams the fields, but this is too... Let him be."

Wang Lang's eyes turned, and he looked at Xie Shuting with a silly smile and said, "Miss! What did Mr. Mu write that made you so happy?"

Just as Xie Shuting looked up and was about to respond, she saw Xie Zhenghong and Xie Tingwen, who were eager to learn more. She smiled knowingly and threw the letter to them.

Immediately! He grabbed a handful of rice seeds and squeezed them, chuckling, "Mu Lao accidentally planted a variety that only grows straw but not rice seeds. He said it can be used as fodder for livestock. Let him be."

"Uh!~"

Wang Lang's face was filled with black lines. Is this thing useful? The grass for livestock is everywhere in the mountains and plains. Even the livestock of the government eats beans. Wild grass is a sheer waste of time.

No one had ever imagined that this variety that only grew rice straw but not rice seeds would later create an unprecedented contribution to the Song Dynasty's southern expedition.

After Xie Zhenghong and Xie Tingwen finished reading the letter, their expressions changed again and again, from doubt at first to shock later.

In addition to explaining the difficulty of developing rice seeds, the letter even recorded the details of the rice harvest without any error.

At this moment, Xie Zhenghong finally understood the purpose of Xie Shuting's founding of the academy. She was not protecting herself or the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce, but the people of the world.

"Shu Ting! Is this thing just as it says in the letter, the yield per mu can reach 1,000 kilograms?" Xie Tingwen asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"You'll know if you try it." Xie Shuting said with a bright smile.

"Try...try?" Xie Tingwen was shocked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xie Zhenghong, who had not spoken a word, stroked his beard and smiled, "Just do as Shu Ting said and give it a try. I am also looking forward to seeing whether the yield of the rice seeds is as described in the letter."

"Then follow what grandpa said and give the rice seeds to Lord Chen Ping. I think there is no one in Laigu County with better qualifications than him."

"Yeah!" Xie Zhenghong nodded in approval.

After all, Chen Ping was the Minister of Agriculture, and he had a great advantage over this group of scholars in the cultivation of crops.

"Okay! Then leave it to Master Chen."

After Xie Tingwen finished speaking, he stroked Xie Zhenghong's hand and said, "Father! I have some official business to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

"Shu Ting is here with her, you go and do your work." Xie Zhenghong waved his hand calmly.

Xie Tingwen held the rice seeds, lifted up his long gown and walked quickly towards the study. Before leaving the corridor, he gave a few instructions to the yamen runner, who then quickly ran out of the county government office.

As for what the yamen runners were going to do, everyone knew it clearly. It was nothing more than to inform Chen Ping to come to the county government office.

In the pavilion, a few people chatted for a while, but Xie Zhenghong's thoughts were difficult to come back to his senses for a long time, and he was still in the shock brought by the rice seeds.

"Shu Ting!"

"Grandfather!" Xie Shuting responded softly.

"Tell my grandfather the truth, can this rice seed really produce 1,000 kilograms per mu?" Xie Zhenghong asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Laigu County is cold in winter, but hot in spring. This polar region is just right for rice production. Unfortunately, it is still a little worse than Jiangnan."

"In such a polar place, when do you suggest planting, Miss?" Wang Lang asked with a happy face.

As a member of the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce, he was naturally very clear about the talents displayed by Xie Shuting.

However, in addition to telling him the sea charts and foreign preferences, plus the current grain varieties, Wang Lang began to wonder if Xie Shuting was an immortal.

"The breeding will probably have to be done on March 3rd, and transplanting will have to wait until early April. The weather in Gu County won't be different during this time."

In the study room.

Xie Tingwen stared at Chen Ping for a long time without saying anything, then repeatedly looked at the letter in his hand and said, "Master Chen! I have a bag of rice seeds that I want to plant in my official fields. When do you think it is best to start breeding?"

Chen Ping's mind was instantly confused. He was busy working in the fields when he was called back by the yamen runners.

Originally, he thought that something big was going on, but it turned out that Xie Tingwen wanted to cultivate the official land. This kind of thing could be solved by just finding a tenant, why did he need to step in?
