Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Jiang Xue smiled slightly, looked at Xuan Yuchen gratefully, and continued: "In addition to cotton cloth, I also prepared some herbs and strong liquor for disinfection. These herbs have certain effects in preventing and treating plague, and strong liquor can be used to disinfect our hands and utensils to reduce the spread of germs."

After hearing this, Xuan Yuchen's eyes flashed with appreciation and admiration.

He realized that Jiang Xue not only had excellent medical skills, but also had extraordinary foresight and carefulness, which was especially important during the trip to Dongzhou where the plague was raging.

"Xue'er, your preparations are really meticulous and admirable. These herbs and liquors are undoubtedly an important line of defense for our trip. If you have any other ideas or needs, just let me know. I will definitely support you with all my strength."

Jiang Xue felt Xuan Yuchen's sincerity and trust, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She whispered, "In fact, I have also planned some training courses on preventive measures. I plan to explain to the imperial doctors on the way how to wear masks correctly, how to use herbal medicine for prevention, and basic personal hygiene habits. In this way, even if we face unknown challenges after arriving in Dongzhou, everyone can maintain a high level of vigilance and protection."

Xuan Yuchen nodded in agreement after hearing this: "This is a great idea! Prevention is better than cure. Your preparations will undoubtedly greatly improve our team's overall epidemic prevention level. I will immediately arrange for someone to assist you with these trainings."

Jiang Xue sighed lightly, a trace of helplessness and self-mockery flashed in her eyes, and she muttered to herself: "Alas, yes, if the system had not been upgraded, I would definitely buy the masks provided by the system without hesitation, which would be both convenient and efficient. But now, the system is not maintained accurately, and I don't know when the upgrade will be completed. It's really a headache."

Although her voice was not loud, Chenxi who was standing beside her still heard it. He asked curiously, "Xue'er, what did you just say?"

Jiang Xue quickly waved her hands and said, "Nothing... nothing."

Xuan Yuchen looked at her tired appearance and said distressedly: "Get some sleep. You must be exhausted after such a bumpy journey."

Jiang Xue nodded, closed her eyes, leaned on Xuan Yuchen's shoulder, and fell asleep after a while.

After a while, Jiang Xue suddenly woke up. She rubbed her eyes, looked out the window, and was surprised to find that the car had driven onto a rugged mountain road.

She frowned and asked Xuan Yuchen in confusion: "Achen, is Daxuan Country very poor? Why are the roads here so difficult to travel?"

Hearing this, Xuan Yuchen turned his head slightly to look at Jiang Xue, with a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes. He gently repeated, "Xue'er, why do you suddenly ask whether Daxuan Country is poor?"

Jiang Xue bit her lip lightly, and seemed to realize that her words might be a little abrupt, so she shook her head lightly and smiled: "No, nothing, just asking casually." She tried to hide her curiosity and surprise, but the light in her eyes betrayed her.

When Xuanyu saw this, he understood what was going on.

He sighed lightly, with a bit of helplessness and self-mockery in his tone: "Xue'er, these roads you see are indeed one of the current conditions of our Daxuan Country. Compared to the Jiangjia Town and those prosperous places you are familiar with, the roads here do seem simple and shabby."

Xuan Yuchen's face flashed with embarrassment and helplessness again. He sighed softly and explained, "Xue'er, you don't know that the road we are currently taking, although bumpy, is already one of the main passages connecting Dongzhou and the capital."

He paused and continued, "The Daxuan Kingdom is vast, but its resources are unevenly distributed. In addition, years of war and natural disasters have led to the decline of people's livelihood in many places and the lagging infrastructure construction. Road construction requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and all we can do now is to do our best and gradually improve it."

When Jiang Xue heard this, a hint of sympathy and understanding flashed in her eyes.

She looked at the bumpy road outside the window, and couldn't help feeling an urge to do something for the Daxuan Kingdom.

She said softly, "Achen, maybe we can find a way to bring some changes to the people here. Even if it's just a small improvement, it's a thoughtful gesture."

When Xuan Yuchen heard this, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashed in his eyes.

He knew that Jiang Xue was always kind-hearted and helpful, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to offer to do something for the people of Daxuan Kingdom.

He was moved and held Jiang Xue's hand, saying affectionately: "Thank you, Xue'er."

Xue smiled slightly and shook her head gently, indicating that this was what she should do.

She continued, "But how should we do it? The problem of Daxuan Country seems to be very complicated. We need to think about it carefully."

Xuan Yuchen nodded and agreed: "Yes, we can't act blindly."

The two fell into deep thought, thinking about how to bring some practical changes to the people of Daxuan Kingdom.

Dongzhou Bincheng County Shanshui Village

Daya stood in a corner of the yard, her eyes occasionally sweeping across the slightly dry well, her heart rippling like the water surface at the bottom of the well. "Mother, is there less water in the well?" she confirmed again, with a hint of barely perceptible worry in her voice.

The woman's peach wood comb gently shuttled through her daughter's long black hair, and each comb seemed to carry the memory of the past and the expectation of the future. "Yes, this year's drought is really serious. Even the well water is suffering. It is getting less and less every day." She sighed as she spoke, her eyes revealing awe and helplessness towards nature.

Daya frowned slightly when she heard this, and her heart was beating fast. "Mom, what should we do? In this severe drought, the crops may not be harvested at all. Should we flee the famine like the old people in the village said?"

The woman smiled gently upon hearing this, and that smile showed her tenacity for life and her love for her daughter. "What are you thinking about all day long? Our family has lived on this land for generations. This is our root and our land. Where can we escape to? Besides, life is hard everywhere in this world, and there are many dangers on the road to escape. How can I be at ease with you, a girl?" She said as she gently patted Daya's shoulder, trying to calm her uneasy heart.

Daya felt the warmth in her mother's palms, and the anxiety in her heart seemed to be slightly alleviated by this warm current.

But she couldn't help but grumble, "But, mother, there is so little water, how are we going to live in the future?"

The woman stopped what she was doing, thought for a moment, and then said, "There are ways. We can take out all the pots and pans at home, and when there is a little more water in the well at night, we can draw a few more buckets and store them. Also, the old well in the village is said to be deeper than our small well. If it really comes to an emergency, we can go there to get water. However, these must be used sparingly and not wasted."
