Lin Yuxin wrote him a method for planting sweet potatoes and peanuts, and then approved an acre of land for them outside the city.
That afternoon, they began planting according to the method Lin Yuxin had given them.
After that, Lin Yuxin became even busier. Every morning, she would go outside the city to check on Long Qian and the others' farming situation. If there were any problems, she would point them out on the spot so that they could be improved immediately.
After finishing outside the city, he took the Soviet officials from the Ministry of Revenue to nearby villages to inspect the planting situation of those who had received the seeds.
When the people have problems, Lin Yuxin and Lord Su will answer them one by one and then help them solve them.
Some people didn't want to farm and wanted to wait for Lin Yuxin to distribute free grain. Lin Yuxin didn't care and directly asked Zhao Er to send them to dig river dams. After a few days, they behaved themselves and obediently came back to collect seeds and go home.
In the afternoon, I will go to Fengshen Mountain to check on the water diversion and dam construction.
After three days of hard work, the water from Fengshen Mountain was finally brought down. Lin Yuxin stood at the foot of the mountain, and the surrounding people watched as the water was blocked by the newly dug dam and did not flow away completely. They all cheered happily.
Joy for the future, hope for life.
They now have water, so they no longer need to fight for the little bit of water in the well. The dam that the princess had built has been used to retain the water for them, so they are not afraid that the water will become less and less.
They can grow grain now. A few days ago, some people didn't dare to plant the grain seeds because there was no water and they were afraid of wasting them. They thought it would be better to save them for their own consumption. But now it's different. With water, they can grow crops and have their own grain to eat. They are no longer afraid of the dry land.
The people who had already planted their crops were running towards their homes to fetch buckets of water to irrigate their fields, otherwise their grain seeds would all dry up and die.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the people, Lin Yuxin felt very satisfied.
...
But after they successfully drew water, Lin Yuxin told them to continue looking for a water source, since it was still unknown how long this water source could last.
However, she found them a helper, Brother Black Bear. Lin Yuxin said that as long as they found a water source, they would roast meat for him.
Brother Black Bear agreed, and with a blank expression on Dan Dao's face, the agreement was reached.
With a stiff posture, Dan Dao led his men behind the black bear, heading deeper into Fengshen Mountain.
Dan Dao felt he could brag about it now that he was back in the capital: he had worked with Black Bear!
After Dan Dao left, Lin Yuxin went to check on the river dam. Zhao Yi had already led his men to finish digging several rivers near Fengshen Mountain.
Although the water diverted may not flow that far, it's always better to be prepared than not.
Lin Yuxin then instructed them to begin digging outwards. Ideally, dams should be built over all the major rivers in the northern part of the city.
It was only after this dredging of the river dams in the north of the city that it was discovered that some rivers still had water, and some dried-up rivers could even be dug up to find some water, which was an unexpected surprise.
After working for half a month, Zhao Yi had almost finished digging the dam. Dan Dao and Xue Ying found two water sources, one of which was still at Fengshen Mountain. Lin Yuxin directly asked Dan Dao to start diverting water down the mountain.
There is another place, in the opposite direction from Fengshen Mountain, a place called Youzi Village.
In a field in Youzi Village, Xueying dug for three days and finally found water. Lin Yuxin then bought the field and used it as public property.
Lin Yuxin had measured it and found that the water source was quite large, with a lot of water below. So she had Xueying build it into a dam, a very large dam, and then build a switch on one side to open the dam every three days, allowing the water to flow into the surrounding rivers.
With the availability of water, many villages in the northern part of the city gradually began to cultivate their fields, and Zhao Er's seeds were distributed.
Long Qian and his team's experimental field was also a great success; vines had already begun to grow. He thought it would fail, but it succeeded on the first try. They had to thank the princess for this.
The seeds were found by the princess, and the planting method was also provided by the princess. The princess would also make timely adjustments whenever there were any problems.
So if these two things succeed, the princess will be bringing blessings to the people!
Long Qian became increasingly respectful to the princess.
My fourth uncle and second brother left after ten days to return to the capital to report back.
The second brother didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay and help Lin Yuxin. He had seen Yuxin working so hard every day that she had lost weight. As her second brother, he felt very sorry for her.
But Lin Yuxin wouldn't allow it. She gave her second brother a task: to train a few people for her after he returned to Beijing and send them to her a month later. She was too busy to do that right now.
Lin Shaoyang hesitated for a moment but still agreed. He had to help his sister, no matter what he wanted to do!
After seeing off her second brother and fourth uncle, Lin Yuxin waited for news from Li Xiaochen amidst her busy schedule.
But it's been more than half a month, and Li Xiaochen hasn't returned or been heard from at all. It's as if he's vanished.
"Wang Yu, doesn't your master have any news at all?"
Lin Yuxin had lost count of how many times she had asked this question.
"Princess, there has been no news from the Prince. He must be tied up with something. Don't worry, with the Prince's abilities, he will be fine."
Wang Yu patiently comforted the princess. He could tell that she was worried, but there was nothing he could do. His master had indeed sent a message a few days ago, but the content was somewhat inappropriate, and he was told not to tell the princess so as not to worry her. So he had no choice but to keep it a secret.
"It's only a little over an hour's journey, what could possibly stop him?"
Lin Yuxin raised an eyebrow at him, thinking, "Don't think she doesn't know how fake what you just said was."
"Uh! Princess, you must trust the Prince."
In the end, Wang Yu could only utter this pale sentence.
