Yu Qingqing was a professional woman from a modern, high-tech developed era who transmigrated to a fictional ancient era. On her way back from a business trip, she encountered a landslide and was t...
An old man with wrinkles on his face, holding a hoe tightly in his muddy hands, tried to lift his eyelids to explain.
Everyone present looked at Yuan Yi with wet eyes.
People who don’t know the inside story would think that Yuan Yi was bullying them.
"Don't worry, this is a good thing. These two are here to teach you how to grow sweet potatoes. Remember to listen to their instructions in the future."
Yuan Yi said it quickly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Because these people's previous employers either beat or scolded them, even though Yuan Xichen did not treat them like that, the fear engraved in their bones did not disappear.
Every one of them cherishes the opportunity to work here.
So I am also worried that one day I will lose this job that allows me to make a living.
Because the people here were not bought by Yuan Xichen, they were all from nearby villages and were hired by Yuan Xichen.
"That's great, as long as they don't chase us away." An aunt in the crowd pulled off a rag from her shoulder and wiped the sweat from her face.
She has elderly parents and young children at home, and reality does not allow her to lose such a good job.
Yu Qingqing came to the field and found that the soil here was very fertile and a good place to grow sweet potatoes.
In fact, when Yu Qingqing came to Dongyu, she didn't find the land particularly bad. Dongyu is really a good place to live, and basically everything is available.
There are all kinds of rich products in the mountains, and there are all kinds of walking proteins in the rivers.
Yuan Xichen took them far away, and the fields here were particularly clean.
After reading it, Yu Qingqing looked at Yuan Xichen seriously and asked, "Master Yuan, I'd like to ask, how is your annual harvest?
Apart from the rabbit infestation, are there any other problems that cannot be solved in a short time?"
The reason she asked this was that she didn't want such good farmland to go to waste. Yuan Xichen needed to support his army, and the amount of food he needed was enormous.
If we can make good use of these lands, it is something worth persisting in.
Yuan Xichen rarely comes here, so he couldn't answer her question.
Yuan Yi, who was standing by, noticed his silence and sent someone to invite Manager Pang You over, but Miss Pang was following behind him.
Manager Pang You came to Yu Qingqing respectfully and said sincerely: "Hello, Miss Yu! I am the manager here. I am here to answer your question.
When we plant rice, there are always a lot of strange insects on it. We have tried to find people to catch them, but the results are not very good.
"A bug? Is it the kind with lots of legs? And two thin whisker-like things growing out the front?"
Yu Qingqing gave a brief description, not knowing whether it was the same as she guessed.
"Oh! Girl, you are amazing, that's it!" Manager Pang You stared at Yu Qingqing with wide eyes, thinking that this woman was actually so smart.
After hearing her description, Yuan Xichen suddenly remembered that someone seemed to have reported this matter to him.
At that time, many people were sent to catch them, but it felt like they were just like wild rabbits and there was no way they could catch them all.
He didn't expect that Yu Qingqing could guess this, and he couldn't help but look at her with approval.
"That's right. This kind of insect loves to infest rice. It will also greatly affect the grain yield, but it's not difficult to deal with."
Yu Qingqing continued confidently. Now that she knew what kind of bug it was, she naturally knew the solution.
Yu Qinghai pulled her aside when he heard this and asked anxiously, "Third sister, do you really have a solution? Don't talk nonsense, we are here to plant sweet potatoes. Don't take on other things."
Yu Qinghai didn't distrust his sister, but he was afraid that something might go wrong.
When Pang Meimei heard Yu Qinghai's words, she began to feel proud. She thought Yu Qingqing was bragging and was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
"Do you really have a way to solve this? There are so many bugs here, it's impossible to catch them all."
Yuan Xichen had some hope that Yu Qingqing would actually have a solution. Of course, even if it didn't work out, he wouldn't blame her.
"Oh! Mr. Yuan, don't listen to my sister. She doesn't know how to cure insects. She is just talking nonsense." Yu Qinghai continued immediately. He didn't want his sister to take risks.
Yu Qingqing really wanted to help, so she patted Yu Qinghai on the shoulder and said firmly, "Mr. Yuan, it's actually very simple.
All you need to do is buy some ducks and raise them in the fields when the rice seedlings are knee-high. Then add plenty of small fish and shrimp to the rice fields as well.”
But as soon as she said this, someone questioned her.
Pang Meimei walked out from the crowd without fear of death.
In her hand she held a handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms, and with a sinister smile on her face she said, "This girl's method is quite peculiar, truly unheard of.
I just don't know what the principle is. I'm a little curious and I hope you can explain it to me."
Pang Meimei's goal was naturally to get Yuan Xichen's attention so that she would have a chance. She thought asking a question wouldn't be a big deal.
She had guessed right on this one, and Yuan Xichen was curious about the principle behind it. Even though he was a little unhappy about Miss Pang's appearance, he didn't say much.
Only then did Yu Qingqing notice that the person coming out was a pretty woman, although her eyes did not look very friendly.
But since others asked the key question, she naturally had to answer it well.
"The ducks we raise can eat the insects without affecting the rice seedlings. As for the fish and shrimp, they are also for maintaining an ecological balance.
Even if there are no worms, ducks can eat small fish and shrimp without any problem. Later, when the fish and shrimp grow up, they can be caught and eaten by themselves.
Yu Qingqing pointed to a paddy field in front of her and explained the reason for raising ducks.
After listening to this, Yuan Xichen felt that there seemed to be some truth in it and nodded in agreement.
After hearing what she said, Yu Qinghai thought it was okay and didn't say anything against it.
When Pang Meimei saw that Yuan Xichen agreed with her statement, she became a little anxious.
She was extremely unwilling in her heart, and in order to attract Yuan Xichen's attention, she bravely said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that although what this girl said is good, it also has some shortcomings.
This servant has a suggestion, and I hope Your Majesty will listen to it."
When Manager Pang saw that Yuan Xichen didn't speak immediately, he was worried that he would get angry, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. This is just nonsense from my daughter. Don't take it seriously."
"Oh, then tell me what you think!"
