Now, due to her subtle influence, the grains and beans in their country are basically grown in the areas under the jurisdiction of King Ning. Many people who originally could not get enough to eat are gradually getting enough to eat, and those who originally had no food to eat are also gradually getting enough to eat.
But this is far from enough.
This time, Meng Shuyan wanted to introduce foods such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, which can be used as both staple foods and vegetables.
Her father went on a long voyage every year in recent years, but he said he had never seen the seeds that Meng Shuyan mentioned. This was also because he did not know foreign languages and was unable to communicate with them, so he lost contact with many people.
Most of the jewellery was exchanged for something else.
This time, Meng Shuyan had to go with him no matter what. If she missed it, she would have to wait until next year.
Although everyone in the family disagreed at first, they couldn't resist Meng Shuyan's constant persuasion.
In the first four years, she not only studied literature, but also martial arts. Normally, a ten-year-old child, even if she was a martial arts genius, would not achieve much in four years, but she had a golden finger.
With the reward from the golden finger and four years of hard practice, even if he couldn't be the best in the world, he could definitely climb walls and fly over rooftops.
Finally, he showed some of his true abilities, and with his father by his side, the palace also sent many experts to guard him. Both families gathered at the riverside to watch the ship go farther and farther away.
On the boat, Meng Shijie kept looking at his daughter.
"Dad, please stop looking. I'm really fine."
Meng Shijie has always been worried that his daughter would suffer from seasickness or other discomforts, and he also thought that if anything happened, he should send her back while she was still not far from home.
He was really worried about taking his daughter with him.
But it’s really nice to see my daughter, and the last bit may not be possible.
This was the first time Meng Shuyan had seen the sea in ten years, and she was very excited.
The long-missed sea feels so familiar!
The sea was full of ever-changing circumstances, and it took a month of stopping and starting to reach the Western coast without any danger.
At first, Meng Shuyan had time to fish for food, but later she lost interest. After shaking for a month, she finally got off the boat, but she still felt shaking when she stood on the ground.
She was not the only one who felt this way, others felt the same way, so the night they got off the ship, they went directly to the local guesthouse for foreign businessmen.
We started to visit the foreign business town on the second day.
This is the foreign trade port, and basically all foreign business activities are carried out here.
If you ask why you don’t go somewhere else, the answer is that you have already seen it.
Who can come to other countries and not look at them more?
But seeing people relieving themselves casually everywhere on the streets, not only do I worry about getting stye, but the smell is almost the same as in a toilet.
If there weren't many rare gems and valuable minerals here, I really wouldn't come here even if I was paid.
It is precisely because many foreign businessmen come here to do business, and always complain about the poor environment here and are unwilling to come, that the local government has negotiated that this source of income cannot be blocked!
So they ordered strict reforms, but only they themselves knew how difficult the process was. In the end, they had to settle for the second best, which led to the establishment of a strictly managed foreign-invested town.
Meng Shuyan initially didn't believe that the environment was really that bad, so she insisted on going to see it. Of course, she was scared and backed away.
In her previous life, Meng Shuyan knew a little about the historical era here from various information channels, but it was not as great as the shock she was facing now.
But she didn't come here for sightseeing. The main reason was that she didn't want to walk in a place full of rice fields where there was no place to step. No matter how careful she was, she could still step on a bomb.
"I told you not to come here because it's not good here, but you didn't believe me."
Meng Shijie simply carried his daughter on his shoulders and sat her down. He took big steps and threw away his shoes when he returned to the boat.
They didn't even want to stay in the guesthouse here, so they went back to the ship and did business.
Because foreigners brought samples of their specialty gemstones and sold them to these foreign merchants.
Meng Shuyan felt that she couldn't come here for nothing, so she talked to the foreigners directly and asked them for the seeds here, exchanging them for tea and silk.
The language spoken by foreigners in this era is of course different from the foreign languages in her previous life, but she has a foundation in foreign languages, so it is not difficult for her to learn it in the academy.
Now there is no problem in communicating with these foreigners. The biggest problem is that they have an accent, but that is not a problem.
This scene surprised the locals and Meng Shijie and others.
Especially as her father, Meng Shijie, he didn't know that his daughter could speak foreign languages so well.
My trip to Songshan College was not in vain.
When the foreigners heard that they could exchange seeds for their expensive tea and silk, their hearts pounded and they immediately went to look for seeds.
As long as it's a seed, give it a try no matter what it is.
As a result, Meng Shuyan accepted everything at that time, and Yang Renxi acted like a fool, looking at Meng Shijie as if he were a fool.
I think this person is just stupid and rich, and he spoils his children excessively.
But as long as he can make money, he won’t be stupid enough to remind the other party.
Because Meng Shuyan was generous and wanted all kinds of seeds, he went to buy a lot of them, including sacks of potatoes, sacks of sweet potatoes, sacks of corn and peppers. He didn't want any gems for those things, and they could be sold for tea or a batch of high-quality silk. He made a lot of money.
Meng Shuyan also looked at the foreigner with the eyes of a fool. He only used a few kilograms of tea and a few pieces of ordinary silk to exchange for so much corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes. He made a huge profit.
That's what happened between the two parties. Both sides felt that they had made a lot of money this time, and both felt that they had gotten the better deal. They both left a good impression on each other, and both left tokens of their love, and they will continue to cooperate in this way next time.
Meng Shijie did not care about the business his daughter did with the foreigners. After all, the tea and silk she exchanged were all brought by her and were not valuable.
The several merchant ships that came with them stayed here for half a month, changed everything they needed, and then returned home.
The first thing Meng Shuyan did when she got home was to replace the first generation of seeds planted in her own space and plant them in her own field, and she planted them herself.
Three years later, everyone in the area under the jurisdiction of King Ning, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, was finally able to have enough to eat. Many people could even have free access to vegetables, fruits, and grains. Even beggars were rarely seen in the streets.
Meng Shuyan became the first female diplomat and ambassador of the dynasty at the age of fourteen, which brought great honor to women.
In the same year, Meng Shuxia and Meng Shuqiu were promoted to the fourth rank and the lower fourth rank respectively due to their outstanding personal abilities. Together with Meng Shuyan, they requested imperial edicts for their mother and grandmother.
The Meng family has established itself in the upper class and become a new elite.
With Meng Shuyan taking the lead, several more girls passed the examination to become female officials, and the status of women was greatly improved that year.
Many people learned that they could now have enough food to eat thanks to Ambassador Meng, and they erected statues and longevity plaques for her everywhere.
Meng Shuyan gained a lot of merit, which was also the happiest time for her.
Others asked Meng Shuyan how it felt to become an official, and a high-ranking one at such a young age.
Meng Shuyan: "It is my honor to be able to learn from the great predecessors and do what I can!
－－－Tribute to all the great predecessors!"
