I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"Maybe it's because a son cannot be a son." Lin Jin looked at the curled-up boy and felt as if she saw herself struggling back then. "If you give birth to a child but don't raise him, you can pay it back by cutting off your fingers. If you give birth to a child and raise him, you can pay it back by cutting off your head. If you raise a child before giving birth, it will be difficult to pay it back in a hundred lifetimes."

"Ajin, you are confused. He didn't choose his parents. He didn't owe them anything. He is the one who wants to trap himself with filial piety."

"If the Yan family knew this day would come, would they still have given birth to him?" Lin Jin asked back.

Blood ties and family affection have been unsolvable propositions throughout the ages. All we can say is that everyone has their own choices. After struggling and suffering for many years, she chose to let go and used 170,000 yuan to completely end the entanglement between her and her original family. She didn't know what Yan Wusheng would do.

All I can say is that I hope Yan Wusheng can find his own way and not go astray.

Liu Zhengqing was silent. Seeing that she looked at Yan Wusheng with an unusual look in her eyes, he said, "You want to save him? If you want to save him, I'll have someone bring him back."

"No one can save him except himself." Lin Jin shook his head gently. If Yan Wusheng was unwilling to save himself, it would be useless no matter how they tried to save Yan Wusheng. Even if they pulled him out, he would eventually return to the quagmire.

When he feels that he has paid off his debts, he will be able to move on.

"Let's go." Lin Jin and Liu Zhengqing continued to walk to other places. The sun was very strong during the day, but the heat subsided at night and it became a little cool.

There was not enough food and insufficient energy intake, so the people were very weak. Many of them were drowsy and sleeping to reduce energy consumption. Lin Jin took a look around and found that salt was added to the daily white porridge, so the people had not yet suffered from insufficient salt intake.

How long will ten thousand kilograms of food be enough to last? Some of the food will have to be transported to other counties tomorrow. Sugar is still the ultimate source of energy, but Lin Jin can't produce that much glucose now.

Lin Jin's eyes lit up. If there is no glucose, there can be sucrose.

"Brother, can you send someone to Lingnan to buy sugarcane? Even if we can't buy sugarcane, sugarcane will do." Lin Jin didn't know what the sugarcane production was like in other places, but the sugarcane production in Lingnan must be very good.

Liu Zhengqing frowned: "Sugarcane production is limited and the price is high. I'm afraid it's not suitable..."

"Although the sugarcane in Lingnan is not yet mature, the annual sugarcane production in Lingnan in the past two years has reached more than 10,000 kilograms per mu. Since you said that the sugarcane is limited, it means that all the sugarcane has not left Lingnan. Where do you think all the sugarcane has ended up?"

There are more than 10,000 kilograms of sugarcane per acre, but the people in Lingnan certainly cannot eat it all. In the end, in order to facilitate storage, Lin Lin will definitely choose to make it into sugar.

What Lingnan lacks the least now is vegetables, fruits and sugar. What's the point of Lin Lin keeping all that sugar? He will definitely have to sell it in the end.

Now the new rice varieties have not been fully promoted, and the food supply may not be sufficient. However, if we find another way to use sugar to support it, we can still hold on for a while. Sugar is one of the strategic reserve materials.

After Lin Jin took a look around and got a general understanding of the situation, she went back with Liu Zhengqing.

It is now July and August, a good time to plant corn. Although Taiyuan Prefecture is currently experiencing a severe drought, the water source provided by the system can properly control the temperature, so the corn can still be grown.

The 10,000 kilograms of grain that Lin Jin exchanged was not discovered until the next day by other officials in Taiyuan Prefecture. They were shocked when they saw the extra rice that appeared out of nowhere, and they looked at Lin Jin with respect and fear.

One of the officials picked out a grain of rice, put it in his mouth and smacked it a few times, then quickly knelt down, crying with joy: "It's rice, it's rice!"

"Alright!" Liu Zhengqing shouted, quieting the people down. "The reason I let you see these rice and water is to make you understand that natural disasters are not terrible. If you give up on yourself because of natural disasters, you will only end up dead!"

He actually didn't want to say these words, but Taiyuan Prefecture had been dead for some time, and there were even rumors that the court had given up on Taiyuan Prefecture and didn't care about the lives of the people, causing panic among the people.

"In the face of a great disaster, you should think of ways to help the people get through their hardship and calm their hearts, instead of complaining with them. What's the point of complaining? No matter how loudly you complain, will God send you rain or rice and flour?"

Liu Zhengqing didn't care about the life or death of these people. He just had to do his best. After all, he was not a god who could create food and water with just a wave of his hand. But his sister could do it and actually ran over.

Taiyuan Prefecture cannot be in chaos. Once it is in chaos, the first target these people will rush to will definitely be the government. These people can die, but his sister cannot suffer an unexpected disaster.

"Were these sent by the madam?" Someone soon thought of Lin Jin's abnormal behavior yesterday. Who would carry a hoe to plow the fields at this time? But their prime minister's wife did just that, and as a result, they had water and rice the next day.

"Madam, be merciful. Your Majesty has not given up on the people of Taiyuan Prefecture."

"It's a goddess. Madam must be a goddess descended to earth. Madam's behavior yesterday must have moved the heavens."

"Yes, my wife didn't bring anything with her when she came here yesterday, so how come so much rice and water appeared out of nowhere?"

Liu Zhengqing shook his sleeves heavily. He didn't care what these people thought, as long as they didn't regard his sister as a demon. "Why don't you go and do your own thing! It's just a drought that's a little more severe than in previous years. Are you not going to do anything?"

"We will do what we did in previous years. She is still plowing the fields over at Guantian. We will have more food and water."

After he left these words, he hurried to help Lin Jin farm the land. Only those who took the initiative to help Lin Jin farm the land could be counted as Lin Jin's achievements. If these people could understand his implication, they should pick up their hoes and plow the land together.

Lin Jin was having someone prop up a large piece of black gauze and tie it to the ground that had been prepared yesterday: "Tie it higher, higher."

"What are they doing?" Liu Zhengqing looked at them in confusion. Many bamboo poles were propped up around the fields, with pieces of black gauze connected on them. More than ten acres of the hundred acres of official land had been used.

"Didn't I say yesterday that I wanted to plant something? I wanted to plant corn, but the temperature is too high. Doing this can lower the temperature of the field, making it less sunny, and the corn will survive better."

Lin Jin just remembered it in the middle of the night last night. When she was a child in the countryside, some people would tie such gauze on the second floor at the door of their house so that the people on the first floor would not be so hot.

Lin Jin took out the corn seeds. Water was added to the two acres of land last night, and the dried crops were cleaned up in the morning. After turning the land once more, they could directly sow the seeds.

She gave the corn seeds to Liu Zhengqing and taught him how to plant the corn and at what distance.

"I'll leave the corn to you. I'll continue to open up new farmland." Lin Jin did not forget that he still owed debts. He had to finish plowing the land quickly so that he could buy more food on credit.

She looked at the clear water flowing from the faucet onto the bamboo pole. It seemed particularly clear and sweet under the sunlight. Seeing the water made her feel like she saw hope.

Lin Jin did not let Xing'er come with her today. She asked Xing'er to read nursing books at home by herself, saying that Xunmian and the others would come and help her share her worries. Otherwise, she would have to teach those girls when she returned home after a tiring day.

Lin Jin picked up the hoe and went to hoe the ground only after he made sure there was no problem here.

The guard in a green shirt trotted over and half-knelt in front of Lin Jin: "Madam! There is someone who wants to see you. Shall I bring him over?"

"See me? Who knows me here?" Lin Jin scratched his head. "Did you say what it was about?"

"He said he had a question for Madam, and only Madam could answer him." The guard frowned, obviously thinking that this man was weird.
