"What are root vegetables?" Niu Xiaozhou had never heard of this term before, so he was naturally curious.

Lu Qiqi said, "Root vegetables can be simply understood as vegetables whose roots are eaten. For example, white radish, potato, sweet potato, lotus root, and yam."

Of the dishes Lu Qiqi mentioned, Niu Xiaozhou only recognized white radish and lotus root; the others sounded quite interesting.

But he felt that since Lu Qiqi could say it clearly, she must have seen it with her own eyes.

The thought that Lu Qiqi, a young woman, possessed such superb medical skills and was so knowledgeable made me feel that it wouldn't hurt to trust her one more time.

Tianping Village is now her fiefdom as the lord of Kangle Township, and all future taxes will be her private property.

It will benefit both sides if Tianping Village improves its situation; otherwise, she wouldn't have helped Tianping Village so much.

Just as Niu Xiaozhou felt hopeful for the future, a sigh came from beside him.

Niu Dahang sighed heavily and said, "Tianping Village is almost starving, where would we get the money to buy these rare seeds?"

Lu Qiqi understood Niu Dahang's difficulties, but she wouldn't give away the seeds in her space for free to Tianping Village.

She said, "Village Chief Niu, last time I said I wanted to borrow money from Tianlong Village to get through this crisis, have you discussed it with the villagers?"

She said that borrowing money naturally meant using land as collateral.

Tianlong Village is not a fool, so it would not lend money to Tianping Village to get through the crisis for no reason, especially since Tianlong Village had just experienced a plague.

Tianlong Village agreed to lend money because of the favorable terms, and with Lu Qiqi, the village head, acting as guarantor, they weren't worried that Tianping Village wouldn't repay the loan.

Niu Dahang understood this as well. He said, "That day, I talked to the villagers overnight. One group of villagers felt that Tianlong Village was asking for too much money and were unwilling to lend it to them. Another group of villagers thought that they were about to die, and there was no point in keeping land that could not grow crops."

"How much of each voice is represented?" Lu Qiqi asked.

Niu Xiaozhou interjected, "It's half and half; I was the one who counted that night."

Lu Qiqi thought about it and realized that since each side had their own opinion, that was fine. It would be troublesome if the opposing voices made up the majority.

She said, "I have an idea. You can have someone spread the word in the village that someone in Tianlong Village is unwilling to lend money and feels they have been taken advantage of."

Niu Dahang and Niu Xiaozhou exchanged a glance, wondering why Lu Qiqi wanted them to do this.

Before the two could even ask, Lu Qiqi said, "Trust me, I'm certain that within two days, all the villagers of Tianping Village will have to agree."

Niu Dahang had no doubts. Since this matter should not be delayed, he suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go right away."

He started to walk outside, but after taking only two steps, Lu Qiqi called out to him, "Wait."

Niu Dahang stopped abruptly, almost tripping over himself.

When he turned around to look at Lu Qiqi, he heard her say, "Let your son go back and spread the word. You're coming with me to Tianlong Village today."

After Niu Xiaozhou left, Li Changlong and Lu Da came out of the kitchen. They had already washed the dishes and heard Lu Qiqi talking, so they didn't come out to disturb her.

Without further delay, the four of them drove the horse-drawn carriage to Tianping Village.

Niu Dahang sat on the carriage, afraid that his feet would get the carriage dirty, and refused to get into the carriage.

In the end, Lu Da and Niu Dahang drove the carriage, while Li Changlong and Lu Qiqi sat in the carriage.

Lu Qiqi closed her eyes and took a nap in the carriage. She could hear Niu Dahang's voice all the way. Even while the carriage was moving, he could greet people.

The carriage stopped, and Niu Dahang shut his mouth and said nothing more.

Lu Qiqi opened her eyes and saw Li Changlong lift the carriage curtain.

She then got off the carriage.

The carriage stopped right in front of Tian Dalong, the village head of Tianping Village.

Li Changlong found a pillar, tied the horse to it, and then followed Lu Qiqi into Tian Dalong's courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet; there wasn't a soul in sight.

Niu Dahang asked anxiously, "Did they go to work in the fields?"

Lu Qiqi wasn't sure either; if they went to work in the fields, she would have to look for it there.

After all, in those days when communication was not well-developed, even sending messages by carrier pigeon was considered a convenient method.

"The Township Head of Kang Le?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Qiqi went over and saw Tian Dalong carrying a burlap sack and walking out of the house.

Tian Dalong immediately put down the sack and bowed to Lu Qiqi.

Lu Qiqi waved her hand and asked, "What is Village Chief Tian carrying?"

Tian Dalong glanced at Lu Qiqi, then looked at Niu Dahang, and stammered, "Take the millet to the field and plant it."

His voice sounded like it was stuck in his throat; if Lu Qiqi hadn't had good hearing, she wouldn't have been able to hear what Tian Dalong was saying.

"We happen to have something to discuss with Village Chief Tian, ​​so let's put our work aside for now."

After Lu Qiqi finished speaking, she strode into the house.

Seeing this, Tian Dalong naturally couldn't stop her, so he invited Lu Qiqi into the house and poured a bowl of water for each of the people present.

Lu Qiqi took a sip of water, glanced at the sack on the ground, and said, "Village Chief Tian, ​​I have a good medicine here that can make rice seeds germinate quickly, increase the survival rate by 20%, and prevent pests and diseases."

Tian Dalong thought that in previous years, it was already a blessing if 70% of the grain seeds could survive. If there really was such a potion, wouldn't there be a bumper harvest every year?

In that case, wouldn't living a prosperous life be just around the corner?

"Is there really such a good thing?" Tian Dalong looked at Lu Qiqi with shining eyes. If there really was such a good thing, he would have to kowtow to Lu Qiqi.

Lu Qiqi certainly had such a good thing. Seeing Tian Dalong's enthusiasm when he mentioned it, she said, "Of course I do. You can send someone to Tianxin Village to get it tomorrow."
