Lin Yuxin looked at the smiling faces of the group, wondering what they were really thinking. But she didn't care; being scolded wouldn't hurt her. She then smiled and said:
"You're too kind, gentlemen. I have some new ideas this time, and I hope you will all give me your full support."
Upon hearing Lin Yuxin's words, Wang Feng and the others turned pale. What was this devil up to now? But what could they say?
Wang Feng, having served as an official for many years, immediately smiled and respectfully replied to Lin Yuxin:
"Your Highness is right. We will do our best to cooperate with Your Highness's arrangements so that the people of the North City can live a good life as soon as possible."
"Yes, Lord Wang is truly a man of noble character, always thinking of the people. I admire him greatly. It seems you gentlemen have just returned from the fields. Please come in and rest! Don't tire yourselves out!"
Lin Yuxin spoke warmly to the adults with an expression of admiration and concern, and told them to go back and rest.
However, Lin Yuxin's words did not put the adults at ease. They exchanged glances, bid farewell to Lin Yuxin, and returned home.
On the way back, Shao Chongshan whispered to Wang Feng:
"Lord Wang, what does the princess mean by this? I have a feeling she's up to no good."
Shao Chongshan felt uneasy. The drought in the northern city was over, the people had been settled, and the crops had been planted, some of which had already begun to sprout. This meant that everything was moving in a positive direction.
What kind of trouble is this princess planning to cause?
"Let's wait and see! If she tries to make things difficult for us again, what can we do but resist?"
Wang Feng said irritably, "Does he really have a way? The moment I saw her today, I knew my good days were over!"
"Sir, why don't we pretend to be sick? Maybe we can have a few more days?"
Liu Hongbo came up with an idea and whispered.
The other adults' eyes lit up when they heard this. Right, since they can't resist, they can at least hide!
"So many of us, all faking illness? With the princess's medical skills, how could she not find out? Alright, stop giving bad advice, go back and get some rest! You're probably going to suffer again tomorrow."
Upon hearing Liu Hongbo's words, Wang Feng's eyes flickered, then he frowned, reminding them of the princess's abilities, and sent them away.
Seeing that Lord Wang was angry, the officials said nothing more and all returned to their rooms.
After Lin Yuxin and the others left, she headed towards Lord Long's experimental field.
From afar, I could see Lord Long and Lord Gao inspecting the fields.
"Lord Long! Lord Gao, thank you both for your hard work."
After Lin Yuxin approached, she called out to the two adults.
When Lord Long heard someone calling him, he quickly looked up and saw Lin Yuxin standing on the edge of the field. His eyes lit up, and he immediately threw away the mud in his hand, clapped his hands, and walked over.
"When did the princess return? I didn't even go to greet her. I hope the princess will forgive me."
Lord Long bowed to Lin Yuxin, pleading for forgiveness, but his smile remained undiminished.
He was happiest when the princess returned, so he could talk to her about farming again.
What he didn't understand, the princess always managed to hit the nail on the head, making him suddenly understand.
"I just got back and learned about the situation here, so I thought I'd come and see how your experimental field is doing."
Lin Yuxin also showed a sincere smile and spoke gently.
"Your Highness, you've worked hard. Look, this is a sweet potato field. It's starting to sprout now, and it should bear fruit in three or four months."
Lord Long gets very excited when he talks about his fields. After learning that the seeds given by the princess had survived, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep well for several days, fearing that it was all a dream.
As far as he knew, the yield of sweet potatoes in Zhao was about 800 catties per mu, so Zhao never had to worry about food. Even if their wheat yield was not high, their staple food was sweet potatoes and potatoes, which were high-yield products.
Lord Long felt that he didn't need to be higher than them; the same yield as them or even 500 catties per mu would be fine.
"Lord Long is too late. It will take at most two months to bear fruit. I estimate we can harvest one crop before we return to the capital."
Lin Yuxin shook her head and smiled.
"real?"
Lord Long was shocked; he found it hard to believe. But the princess's words left him no choice but to believe them.
We'll know in two months whether it's true or not.
Lin Yuxin didn't continue, leaving everyone in suspense.
The seeds she cultivated using water diluted with celestial dew were considered late to yield a harvest, even if it took two months.
"Hehe, thank you for your kind words, Princess."
Lord Long didn't dwell on the topic. Since the princess said to wait two months to see the results, he would just wait. At the very least, it would take three months to see the results.
As long as the people have food, that's better than anything else.
Afterwards, Lin Yuxin followed Lord Long to see the other crops and discovered that peanuts were growing the fastest.
Peanuts are supposed to be planted in April or May, but due to special circumstances here, they were planted late. It was thought that they would also sprout later, but they actually grew the fastest.
It seems to be due to the influence of the celestial dew. This is good, as an early harvest will allow the people to obtain the seeds and plant them sooner, ensuring a bumper harvest next year.
After checking everything, she and Lord Long talked a lot about planting techniques, and she even went down into the field to turn over the soil and check its condition.
Lin Yuxin was delighted to find that although it was the dry season, the land was not very dry. It seemed that heaven had not completely wiped out the people of Beicheng.
When Lin Yuxin returned home, it was already afternoon. While Lin Yuxin was having dinner, Dan Dao returned.
