One sweet potato yielded 30 jin (15 kg) of sweet potatoes. If she planted all of them, wouldn't she be able to gather enough seeds in no time?
Without hesitation, Lin Yuxin began planting the seeds she had chosen in her space.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes are planted in similar ways. Peanuts need to be peeled and the kernels inserted into the shell. Corn is the same; the kernels need to be peeled off one by one.
Lin Yuxin simply processed everything and then started sowing the seeds. Because of the fairy dew, she simply diluted it with water and watered the seeds, so all the seeds could absorb the fairy dew, and she wasn't worried about running out of fairy dew.
After working in the fields all night, Lin Yuxin only managed to harvest 400 jin of corn, 300 jin of sweet potatoes, 200 jin of potatoes, and 400 jin of peanuts.
It seems I'll have to keep trying tomorrow night. And I can't rely on the things in her space. I'll have to take advantage of the trip to the small water source to see if there are any seeds that can be planted and bring them back.
Mix them together so that they won't arouse suspicion.
Lin Yuxin left the space just as dawn broke. She hadn't slept all night, but she didn't feel tired at all.
Lin Yuxin changed her clothes, washed up quickly, and went out.
Today's tasks are quite heavy. Zhao Er is distributing food at the gate with Xiao Hao, Zhao Yi is leading several adults to plant trees, and the resettlement work at the city gate is handed over to Li Qi, one of Dan Dao's subordinates.
She then took a single sword and went to find a water source, which she called a small water source, but in reality, it was just digging a well.
Jibei City is not perpetually hot and dry; it's only this hot in the summer, while it rains in other seasons.
Therefore, some areas still have standing water, which accumulates over time and seeps into the ground, forming an invisible underground water system.
If she finds the location and digs it out, the people will have water for the time being.
Yesterday she had the two wells in the city liberated, but there are just too many people in the city, so it might not be enough.
I just don't know if she has ordered the wells in those villages and counties to be unsealed, but I don't know what the situation is like?
When Lin Yuxin came out, she saw Zhao Yi and Zhao Er already leading Xiao Hao and several adults on their way.
Xiao Hao happily followed Zhao Er to the door to distribute grain.
The adults did look reluctant, and it was Zhao Yi who went to their rooms early in the morning and knocked on each door to forcibly wake them up.
Before leaving, they saw Lin Yuxin, and everyone looked at her as if she were their enemy, which puzzled Lin Yuxin.
I asked around and found out that Zhao Yi had gone to their rooms one by one to wake them up in the morning. Lord Wang and Lord Liu almost got into a fight with Zhao Yi.
How dare a lackey swagger in front of them? As a result, Zhao Yi simply drew his long sword from his waist, which silenced the men.
They were seething with anger, and seeing Lin Yuxin was like seeing their enemy. The officials were already planning how to file a complaint against Lin Yuxin with the emperor when they returned to the capital.
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes as she watched the group's retreating figures, and said nonchalantly:
"It's okay, they won't even have the energy to glare at me in a couple of days."
Afterwards, Lin Yuxin led ten people, including Dan Dao, out the door. However, Lin Yuxin told them to bring tools for digging.
Standing at the entrance of the government office, Lin Yuxin looked at the long queue of people and knew that she had a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to bear!
"Let's go check out the nearest village first."
Lin Yuxin said in a deep voice, then strode towards the city gates.
Over the next few days, Lin Yuxin spent her days in the village outside the city, investigating the surrounding soil conditions, and her nights in her space planting her grain seeds.
For several days in a row, Lin Yuxin worked non-stop. If it weren't for the abundance of tonics in her space and the support of the immortal dew, she would have been unable to keep up.
That night, Lin Yuxin was so worried that she didn't have much of an appetite, because she had been searching for several days without finding a place with sufficient water, which meant that there was no water stored underground.
It seems that finding a water source is still fraught with difficulties!
"Princess!"
At this moment, Zhao Er came over to report.
"What's up?"
Lin Yuxin forced herself to eat two more bites, then put down her chopsticks and asked.
"Princess, the granary is running low on grain. It can only supply enough for one day at most. Also, this morning some people came to say that the two ancient wells in the city have run dry and probably won't last much longer."
Zhao Er lowered his head and reported the truth.
"I understand. We'll hold out the food supplies for as long as we can. I've sent a message to the capital, and it should be ready soon. As for the water issue, I'm still figuring out a solution!"
Lin Yuxin spoke expressionlessly.
She hadn't expected that water would be the hardest thing to find here. She had already explored several villages over the past few days, but to no avail.
Not only was water not found, but food was also nowhere to be found.
It seems she was being too naive. If she couldn't find it in the village, she would have to take people into the mountains to look for it.
When she visited the village before, she also went to see those ancient wells, and there was still a lot of water in them.
The main reason is that many people have moved to the city, leaving only a few people in the village who still have some food at home, or those who are conservative and unwilling to leave.
The population is small, and everyone is very frugal, so water consumption is low, but it can last for a while.
In addition, she has been distributing grain every day and has also sent people to distribute grain to the villages. The people will not eat all the grain they receive each day; they will probably store some, so the grain should last for a few more days.
However, there are no vegetables available, and not eating vegetables for a long time is not a solution!
Lin Yuxin pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"We won't go to the village tomorrow. Instead, we'll go to the mountain to look for it. There's a mountain behind Qiantangshui Village. It's quite high, and the villagers say you can hear wild animals calling out from there."
