"Little sister, what's wrong? Why are you ignoring your big brother?"

Seeing the unfamiliarity in Lin Xue's eyes, Lin Jintong found it hard to accept.

"Jintong, don't be anxious. Madam Lin suffered a setback ten years ago and still doesn't know her own identity. It's not certain whether she's your sister or not. Let's find out first!"

Seeing Lin Jintong's anxious appearance, the old emperor thought that this woman was most likely his niece.

He really hoped it was true, because with this identity, the willful little girl would probably be too embarrassed to just walk away again.

"Uncle, she is my little sister. Although we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, she is definitely my little sister. I won't mistake her for someone else!"

Compared to the old emperor's composure, Lin Jintong was truly unable to calm down.

"Uncle, you have to believe me, she really is my sister Lin Xue!"

Lin Jintong was really anxious and flustered. Why wouldn't his uncle, the emperor, believe what he said?

"My sister has a butterfly-shaped birthmark behind her left scapula. It's easy to find out if it's her by having someone check it!"

Seeing that the old emperor was slow to express his opinion, Lin Jintong had no choice but to reveal a secret that only her family knew.

"My wife!"

Upon hearing this, while the others remained silent, even Lin Xue showed no reaction, Huang Dehai panicked.

"What's wrong, my husband?"

Lin Xue turned her head in confusion and looked at Huang Dehai's tense face.

"My lady, there really is a butterfly-shaped birthmark on the back of your left shoulder blade!"

Huang Dehai leaned close to Lin Xue's ear and whispered something to her.

The location of this birthmark is quite unusual; you can't see it yourself.

However, as Lin Xue's closest companion, Huang Dehai could see her every night.

"ah?"

Lin Xue was truly unsettled. Could it be that the original owner of this body had also lost her memory, which was why she couldn't remember her true identity?

Otherwise, given her materialistic and snobbish nature, she would have gone to the capital to acknowledge her ancestors long ago, instead of staying in the Huang family and causing trouble!

"Hahaha, you really are my niece!"

"Just as impatient as my girlfriend!"

The two thought they were talking quietly, but everyone around them could hear them clearly.

Everyone looked at the couple with strange eyes.

Some people envy Huang Dehai's good fortune, that he managed to take in a princess even when he was just taking in a disaster victim.

Some people couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering what kind of mess this was.

Thinking back to that princess's personality, isn't it just like the lady Lin in front of me?

Why didn't they make this connection before?

That makes sense, after all, these are royal secrets, and it's not something they can interfere with.

At the old emperor's insistence, Lin Xue had no choice but to undergo a kinship test with Lin Jintong—a blood test to determine kinship.

Although Lin Xue knew this was unscientific, things had already progressed to this point, and she had no reason to refuse. She could only cooperate with these people and take a little blood from her fingertip.

"bite!"

"Congratulations, host, on completing the ultimate hidden mission! You have uncovered the original owner's true identity, allowing the original owner to be recognized and returned to their ancestral home!"

"Because this is a triggered hidden mission, the system cannot know the mission details in advance. Now, the rewards for this hidden mission will be distributed to the host!"

Soon, Lin Xue discovered that there was an extra item in her space.

"That's a bag of rice seeds weighing about 100 pounds. According to the system, these are high-yield rice seeds that have been developed by countless scientists in later generations!"

"And these seeds will not lose their original yield-increasing capacity over time!"

"No matter how many times it is planted, it can maintain its high-quality seed characteristics!"

Although the reward disappointed Lin Xue, she felt it was worth it when she thought about the hardships of working people in the world!

Although I don't need it much, the people of this world can!

As long as we find a piece of land to plant these grain seeds, and then spread the seeds in a few years, then the people of the entire Great Zhou will at least be able to have enough to eat!

It's important to understand that the current yield per mu (unit of land area) is only two to three hundred jin (unit of weight), and that's under favorable weather conditions.

Nowadays, people are planting the most primitive seeds, which not only have low yields but are also prone to pests and diseases.

It must be said that this grain seed arrived at a very opportune time.

In order to acknowledge Lin Xue as his great-niece, the old emperor held a grand banquet in the palace and introduced Lin Xue's identity to everyone.

These tasks are tedious and exhausting.

After the family reunion ceremony, Lin Xue declined the old emperor's frequent invitations to banquets and went directly to her own estate with her entourage.

Yes, the original owner's mother, Princess Haoyue, owned a considerable amount of real estate in the capital, including the estate where Lin Xue is currently residing.

She used this place as her experimental base, bringing with her some of the talents assigned to her by the old emperor to study crops.

Huang Dehai was promoted from a minor county magistrate in Yuhai County to a proper official in the capital.

His position was Vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture!

This position is normally a relatively easy job, but because of Lin Xue's presence, Huang Dehai has to go to the fields with his wife every day to observe the crops.

Lin Xue told the old emperor that if they wanted to solve the fundamental problems of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they had to start with the grain.

If we could grow grain from land that yields two or three hundred catties per mu to land that yields a thousand catties per mu, wouldn't our Great Zhou Dynasty no longer have to go hungry?

Grain is a matter of vital importance to the livelihood of the people, and this is far more effective than improving the living standards of one or two counties!

After two years of research, Lin Xue used the name of hybrid rice to plant all the grain seeds that the system had given her in the ground.

When the old emperor heard that the rice yield per mu could reach more than a thousand jin, he couldn't help but lead all the civil and military officials out of the palace to watch Lin Xue and the others harvest the rice.

From harvesting to threshing and drying the grain, and then weighing it, the old emperor and his court officials participated in the entire process.

When the figure of 3,000 catties per mu was released, not only the old emperor, but also all the ministers who came with him were overjoyed and wept.

Those who have never experienced hunger simply cannot understand their feelings at this moment.

Previously, a family could barely achieve this harvest by cultivating ten mu of land, but now only one mu of land is needed to grow 3,000 jin of grain.

This means that as long as people are hardworking and diligent, they will never go hungry again!

After all, no matter how heavy the taxes are, at most three or four tenths will be taken, and the people can still keep more than half for themselves.

It is said that scarcity drives up prices. In the past, people worked hard all year round but could not harvest much crops. But now, as long as people work diligently and conscientiously, there will definitely be enough grain to meet demand, and naturally, the price will drop.
