To be honest, Song Yan'er didn't have any specific goals before. Because Xiao Yang was always by her side, Song Yan'er lacked the ability to think for herself and followed Xiao Yang's plans every day. So now that Xiao Yang is gone, Song Yan'er feels that she hasn't accomplished anything!

Sure enough, men only slow down your earning speed!

Song Yan'er: "Grandma, I'm going to deliver bean seeds to my farm after breakfast. Do you want to come with me?"

The old lady immediately replied, "Okay, okay, as long as I'm not allowed to stay at home, I'll go anywhere!"

Song Yan'er...

"So you're just going out, huh? You're fine with going anywhere, right?"

"You don't know, I was terrified of the palace! Now it's so much better, the sky's the limit!"

The old lady's matter-of-fact attitude amused Song Yan'er.

"Alright, pack your things first. You probably won't be coming today! You'll probably be staying there for a couple of days!"

Song Yan'er was somewhat helpless, but what could she do? This was Xiao Yang's grandmother, and the most esteemed person in the Western Shu Kingdom. Judging from Xiao Yang's words, he would eventually have to return to the capital, and then he would still have to rely on her! Having someone in the city makes things easier! Besides, this person was the most powerful person in the city.

Song Yan'er walked into the carriage alone and put all the bean seeds from her space on it. Since arriving in Dongquan City, she had rarely used the carriage. She wondered if the horse was still obedient.

About eight catties of soybean seeds are needed for one mu of land. Song Yan'er wants to plant four hundred mu of soybeans, so she took out 3,200 catties of soybean seeds. It's just a matter of whether the horse can work!

After placing the bean seeds, Song Yan'er went to call the old lady. She then saw the old lady carrying five bundles of various sizes. Upon seeing Song Yan'er, the old lady quickly sent people to help her!

"Grandma, we're not going on vacation, why are you bringing so much stuff!"

Song Yan'er looked disgusted, but she was disgusted by the baggage, not the old lady.

"What can a woman do without when she goes out? Do you think it's that easy to be a refined woman? I really miss those beauty devices and beauty injections from my past life!"

"Then we'll have to use another carriage! Where's the person protecting you? Let him drive the carriage!"

“Okay,” the old lady agreed happily when she saw Song Yan’er compromise.

They set off in the morning and finally arrived at Kaishan Village by noon! The gang leader immediately took Song Yan'er to the warehouse and had her look after the wheat harvested last season!

Song Yan'er looked at the wheat in front of her, feeling somewhat speechless. This 500 mu of land had only yielded about 100,000 jin of wheat, and the wheat didn't even look very good, averaging only about 200 jin per mu. How could such land possibly feed and clothe ordinary people?

It seems I really need to promote the grain seeds. Not for any other reason than the sight of those skinny figures I saw when I first entered the village!

If wheat were grown in this space, one acre could yield two thousand catties of wheat. Even if grown outside, it would yield at least one thousand catties. That's five times the current yield!

"Do you know how to improve grain varieties? I remember in my previous life, an acre of land yielded a lot, so why is it so little here? Is it a problem with the land or the grain varieties?"

The old lady, having spent so much time in the palace vying for power, had never considered these things before. Seeing it with her own eyes now, she's realized! It seems she needs to send her son to the grassroots more often to see things for himself; otherwise, he won't know what the people of Western Shu truly need.

"Yes, these are the improved varieties. Let's plant a batch to try it out first, and if it works, we can promote it further!"

The gang leader looked at Song Yan'er in surprise upon hearing this, not realizing she had such grand ideas!

Pretending not to notice the gang leader's gaze, Song Yan'er continued walking forward to check on the adorable watermelon seedlings! They would be ripe in two more months, and then she could make a fortune. Thinking of the piles of silver, Song Yan'er instantly felt all the fatigue from the carriage ride vanish!

"Master, there's something I need to tell you. The big mountain behind our small hill is also very suitable for growing fruit trees. I overheard the village head mentioning that it might be for sale. You can go take a look first, and if you think it's suitable, I can ask about the price."

"Do you know why we have to sell it?" Generally speaking, people who live off the land don't sell their food rations, especially these days when people often starve to death!

"Ahem, I actually found out about that. Two months ago, someone burned the whole mountain down. The village head was upset about the bare mountain and wanted each family to contribute some money to plant fruit trees so they could harvest and sell them next year."

The village head was well-intentioned, but the villagers were not receptive and refused to pay the money. Moreover, because the mountain was very close to the village, the villagers had already picked almost everything in it. Whether it was wild fruit or fruit trees that the villagers had planted themselves, the taste was very bad, so the villagers thought that the place was not suitable for growing fruit trees.

After nearly two months of this stalemate and several rounds of voting, it was finally decided to sell the mountain! Each family would receive a considerable amount of money.

"Are the fruit trees in this mountain really not tasty? What if the fruit that Yan'er buys and grows doesn't taste good?" The old lady didn't know any of this, so she could only ask the Black Boss.

"I took a look, and it's suitable for planting fruit trees. Maybe the villagers' fruit trees aren't good enough!"

Song Yan'er had nothing to worry about. These things were no problem for her. As long as she poured a little spiritual spring water on them, even the most unpalatable fruit could become delicious.

"Okay, then go ask about the price and come back to talk!"

"Okay, you guys go ahead and look around, I'll be right back!" With that, the gang leader hurriedly left.
