When Xu Rao sent people down, he instructed them not only to explain to those who planted winter wheat, but also to those who did not. He wanted them to know what winter wheat was, how it was planted, and most importantly, to explain the intercropping of corn and winter wheat. This was the most important thing. If a piece of land could yield two crops a year, which farmer wouldn't be tempted?

Xu Di has now tasted the wonders of farming. He feels that it is a very fulfilling thing to be able to let these seeds imported from overseas take root, sprout and grow in his hands on this land. He is now eagerly looking forward to the arrival of his third uncle and is eager to know what kind of seeds his third uncle will bring him.

Zhang Zhaozhi arrived in Hexi in March.

Still with a group of people, the Zhang family built a trading company in Hexi, mainly dealing in southern tea and southern fabrics. Hexi is a small place, so there is no need to bring in high-end goods. The Zhang family's main purpose is to build such a trading company here, so that it will be easier to exchange goods with the Xu family.

Zhang Zhaozhi brought Xu Di a lot of seeds. After looking at them, Xu Di realized that many of them were the same ones he had brought last time. However, Xu Di found pumpkin seeds among them, which made him extremely happy. Pumpkins really can be eaten as a meal!

Zhang Zhaozhi visited Xu Di's greenhouse and thought his nephew was incredibly capable for his young age. Xu Di even wrote down his methods and techniques for planting corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and various vegetables for Zhang Zhaozhi to take back with him. Since he understood these farming methods, there was no need to hide them; hiding them was pointless. It was better to share them so that everyone could have enough to eat, society could be more stable, and wouldn't that be more beneficial for business development?

Zhang Zhaozhi stayed here for more than half a month. Xu Di noticed that his third uncle often went to the general's mansion and talked to Wei Lang about something. Sometimes, the general's staff would also come over and talk to his third uncle in his room. However, Xu Di didn't care much. For him, the most important thing now was to plant the seeds in his hands well and then promote these things through his father. When his father was in the eyes of more people, his family would be safer.
