Quick Wear: Lu Ming She Has Many Children and Blessings

Several groups of people have come and gone, and have been destroyed. Fortunately, Xizhou is not short of iron and coal, and the armor and knives have been repaired early, so there is no need to worry about the problem of armaments.

In less than half a month, the caravan returned with a large amount of food, and at the same time, there were also some merchants from the Western Regions.

Their arrival brought vitality to the originally desolate Xizhou City.

That day, Lu Ming did not go to the meeting room, but went straight back to his own yard.

There were several maids in her courtyard, all of whom were carefully selected and had extraordinary skills.

When Yumei saw her prince coming back, she hurried forward to pay her respects. Luming said nothing, but squatted in the open space in front of the house, looking at the plants on the ground and examining them carefully.

After she finished the examination, she found that Xiao Chengsi had been squatting beside her without her noticing.

Seeing her stop, Xiao Chengsi pointed at the plants in front of him and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What are these?"

I saw that the branches of the potatoes were growing unusually vigorously, and they were green and pleasing to the eye.

Luming sighed, stood up, and said, "This is a potato, also called a potato."

"What is the millet yield per mu in Xizhou?" Lu Ming suddenly changed the subject.

Xiao Chengsi didn't know why Lu Ming suddenly mentioned grain, but after thinking for a while he replied, "The yield per mu is less than 100."

"So low?" Lu Ming's face was full of surprise. She knew that due to the environment and climate of Xizhou, the grain production would definitely be very low, but she didn't expect it to be so low.

Xiao Chengsi nodded. It was no wonder that Lu Ming was surprised. Even he was shocked when he first learned about it.

"The best yield from the fertile farmland in Kyoto is only 300 kilograms. The land in the Jiangnan region is fertile, and the yield per mu can reach about 400 kilograms." Xiao Chengsi continued.

A yield of 400 kilograms per mu was considered a bumper year by the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but to Lu Ming it sounded a bit unpleasant, as the yield was really too low.

Moreover, these several hundred kilograms are not the net weight. After removing the husks, the grain yield will be even lower.

She put away the casual expression on her face, turned serious, and said solemnly: "Potatoes, that is, potatoes, can be eaten as a meal."

can eat?

Xiao Chengsi looked at the plants on the ground in confusion. He was short-sighted and couldn't see any difference. "What's the difference?"

Lu Ming did not keep the question secret and said directly: "The most amazing thing about potatoes is its yield per mu. It is enough to replace the staple food. You may as well guess it."

Xiao Chengsi said uncertainly: "One hundred pounds?"

Lu Ming shook his head, "No, be bolder."

Xiao Chengsi thought for a moment and said, "Three hundred?"

Lu Ming shook his head again, "It's still too low, I'm guessing by magnifying it."

Still think it's too low? Still want to make a bold guess?

Xiao Chengsi swallowed and asked tentatively, "It won't be five hundred, right?"

Lu Ming shook his head again.

Xiao Chengsi felt a little disappointed, but then he thought that half of the court's grain was produced in the Jiangnan region, and the output was imaginable. He also understood why Lu Ming shook his head.

Xiao Chengsi was disappointed for a moment, but then he thought about it and understood. After all, half of the court's grain was produced in the Jiangnan region. One can imagine how high the grain output in Jiangnan was.

It's normal to be inferior.

The grain output in Jiangnan is no more than 400 kilograms at most, so his guess of 500 kilograms is really a pipe dream.

But on second thought, this potato is really a rare thing.

He said happily: "Four hundred kilograms is already very high. If these potatoes are widely planted, won't our Xizhou be comparable to the fertile Jiangnan?"

Lu Ming did not respond to him. He just turned his head and looked at him with a playful look on his face, counting word by word: "Five thousand kilograms!"

These light words were like thunder, which stunned Xiao Chengsi. He even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

"What? How much did you say?" His voice began to tremble.

"Yes, that's 5,000 kilograms, but that's the output in Jiangnan. In Xizhou, it would be great if we could reach 3,000 kilograms!"

This is simply a great treasure. Xiao Chengsi will never look at the plants on the ground with disdain again. Now he wishes he could worship them as his ancestor.

Even if he knows nothing about farming, it doesn't stop him from taking a look!

What’s even more clever is that the potato maturity period is about three months. Once this batch of potatoes is mature, they can be planted on a large scale. After a few rounds of planting, the problem of food shortage can be easily solved.

Lu Ming couldn't help but think of his subordinates who were still in Nanman. He didn't know how the corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes were growing.

Time flies, and a month has passed quickly.

It was time for Lu Ming to leave. After all, as long as the general direction was correct, there was nothing to worry about.

She simply kept Ning Changshi and a group of officials who were already on the right track in Xizhou.

Unlike the less than half-meter-high city wall when she first arrived, a tall and majestic city wall had been built here when she left. The more than ten-meter-high concrete wall was definitely guaranteed to stand firm.

After the news that Prince An was leaving spread, the people of Xizhou City and the soldiers in the army came to see him off.

Tears welled up in everyone's eyes as they silently watched Prince An's carriage go farther and farther away.

The farewell team extended to ten miles outside Xizhou City. In the end, they could only stand there and watch the team go farther and farther away until it disappeared on the horizon.

Inside the carriage, Lu Ming gazed at the city wall that was gradually receding into the distance, feeling a faint melancholy in his heart.

She gently stroked her abdomen, with a determined gleam in her eyes.

You can't blame her for being selfish. She has already stayed in Xizhou for nearly three months. If she continues to stay there, it might cause dissatisfaction in the court.

Those brothers would never tolerate her having any contact with Xiao Chengsi, and leaving at this moment was undoubtedly the wisest choice.

She had to find a safe place to give birth to her child.

Xizhou is a good place that is absolutely safe and belongs to her, but the environment is too harsh. It is constrained by the imperial court inside and threatened by barbarians outside.

I'm afraid there will be a lot of fighting ahead, and all she can do is to ensure that Xiao Chengsi's rear is safe. She must choose a safer environment for herself and her future children.

Xiao Chengsi stared at the team that was moving further and further away, and a sense of melancholy quietly grew in his heart.

After two months of living together day and night, his feelings for her have become so deep that they are difficult to describe. That love is like an undercurrent, silent and strong.

He felt an urge to spend the rest of his life with her, however, reason told him that it was impossible.

Lu Ming's identity was like an invisible gap between them, making it impossible for them to get married.
