Wang Feng and the others realized that this meant they didn't have to plant trees.
The adults exchanged bewildered glances, and finally Gu Qing reacted and said:
"Why don't we ask the princess?"
"Yes, go ask!"
Wang Feng agreed; he needed to ask her in person, fearing that the Demon Princess might come up with other ways to torment people.
So the group walked towards Lin Yuxin.
Long Qian and the others woke up this morning to find everyone busy with their own things. They hadn't made any arrangements yet, which made them a little uneasy. So Long Qian thought it best to ask the princess what her plans were.
As a result, they ran into Wang Feng and several other officials on the way.
At first, Long Qian didn't recognize them and thought that the government office had found some unremarkable servants.
The main reason is that the current appearance of Wang Feng and the other officials is really too unexpected.
Although they shower and change into clean clothes every night when they come back, the adults' skin has become quite dark after more than half a month of sun exposure.
If this happened at night, we'd probably have to use a light to look for it.
In the end, it was Wang Feng who spoke first, calling out "Lord Long" and giving his name before Lord Long recognized him.
There was nothing he could do; Lord Wang held a higher official rank than him, and since the other man had introduced himself, he had no choice but to pay his respects.
"Lord Wang, what's going on here?"
Lord Long bowed and asked curiously.
"I am looking for the princess. Did you arrive yesterday?"
Wang Feng calmly told the truth, showing no embarrassment at not being recognized earlier.
"Yes, I arrived in the northern city yesterday. It just so happens that I was also going to see the princess. Would Lord Wang mind if we went together?"
Seeing that everyone was going to see the princess, Lord Long suggested that they go together.
Wang Feng thought about it and agreed. With more people, Liang Lin Yuxin wouldn't cause any more trouble.
"Okay, let's go!"
That's why we saw what just happened.
...
Lin Yuxin looked at Wang Feng and nodded, saying:
"That's right, Lord Wangs don't need to plant trees anymore."
"Does the princess have any other instructions?"
Wang Feng asked this question very cautiously, as he had suffered two losses at Lin Yuxin's hands, and he couldn't afford to be careless.
"Yes, there is indeed a new task for you."
Lin Yuxin nodded, then called out:
"Xueying, lead the adults to find Zhao Yi. He knows how to handle things."
"yes!"
Xueying's voice came from outside, and then Xueying walked in, looking at Wang Feng and the other five adults with a serious expression, and made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing this, Wang Feng instantly had a bad feeling.
Should I stick with Zhao Yi? It's not going to be another grueling job, is it?
"Princess?"
Wang Feng wanted to ask more questions.
"Don't worry, Lord Wang, this job is exactly what you've been dreaming of, and I guarantee it will be a perfect match for your expertise."
Lin Yuxin said with a smile, as if she had high hopes for them.
Looking at the princess's expression, Wang Feng felt even more uncertain. However, it seemed that this wasn't something he could change at will. After some thought, Wang Feng could only respectfully bow and say:
"Your humble servant will do his utmost."
Seeing that their superiors had all agreed, Gu Qing and the other officials had no choice but to agree as well.
Then the group followed Xueying out.
After they all left, Lin Yuxin turned to look at Long Qian, who was waiting to the side.
"Lord Long!"
"Please give your instructions, Princess."
Long Qian bowed respectfully.
"I have already given the order that we can start distributing the seeds today. You may have to work hard these next few days, going around to check on the planting situation of the people."
"Also, I found two kinds of plants that can be grown on Fengshen Mountain last time. They are edible and have a high yield. I will give you the plants in a while and find you a piece of land. You can try planting them and if they are successful, you can plant them on a large scale."
Lin Yuxin said earnestly to Long Qian.
The plants she was referring to were sweet potatoes and peanuts. She had asked Zhao Yi before, and he said that sweet potatoes and peanuts were foods of the Zhao Kingdom and had not spread to the Xia Kingdom. Therefore, she could not take out so many seeds at once. She could only take out some and find a reason to test the waters first.
The other three kinds of summer fruits are available, but the yield is not good and they cannot be used as staple food, but Lin Yuxin is not worried about this at all.
"real?"
Upon hearing that there were new edible plants, Long Qian immediately perked up. He had spent his entire life in the fields, just to grow things that could fill the stomachs of the people.
"Okay, I'll give it to you in a bit, and then I'll tell you how to plant it."
Lin Yuxin nodded and smiled.
"Yes, Your Excellency will do your best to grow it."
Long Qian happily bowed and responded.
Afterwards, Lin Yuxin took them to the storeroom where the seeds were stored and gave them more than ten kilograms of sweet potato and peanut seeds.
"Lord Long, these are what I found on the mountain. I think they should be edible. I noticed one is big and filling, and the other produces a lot of fruit, so I dug them all up and decided to try planting them. What do you think?"
Lin Yuxin pointed to the two smallest bags on the ground and said.
Long Qian excitedly squatted down to examine it, but upon opening it, he realized he had seen the food before. He hesitated for a moment before speaking:
“Princess, I have seen these two items before. They are from the Zhao Kingdom and are called sweet potatoes and longevity fruits. However, the Zhao Kingdom has strict food regulations and does not allow its people to sell grain to other countries, so these items have not been sent here.”
"Your Highness is truly fortunate to have found these two items. In my humble opinion, these sweet potatoes are even larger than those from Zhao."
"I didn't expect that this thing actually existed in Zhao. But now that we've found it, it's our skill to be able to grow it. Don't worry about it, if you grow it successfully, I, the princess, will definitely ask the emperor to reward you."
