After a night of hard work, Zhizhi had found most of the insects dead. She also concocted two or five kinds of insecticides that would kill the insects and prevent the grains from changing color. As for whether they would poison people, she planned to test them.
She plans to find a field to use as an experimental field.
But who should we test it on? The wheat fields of the people are their lifeblood; how can we let her use them for experiments? If they all die from poisoning, the people will have nothing left.
It's better to wait for it to grow on its own. Even if there are worms, there will still be some harvest. It's better than nothing!
Lin Yuxin took the medicine and nervously left the space. She decided to go directly to the wheat field in the village, but this time she brought Lord Long and Lord Su with her.
These two were agricultural officers. The wheat field had been infested with insects, and they had to find a solution. The princess said she had developed several insecticides and planned to test them today, which they were looking forward to.
If this is really researched and developed, then the people will be the ones who benefit the most!
Lin Yuxin went to the home of Old Zhang, whose pest infestation was the most severe. She first went to check on the wheat in the field and found that even if she used smoke to fumigate Old Zhang's wheat field, it could only alleviate the problem and had little effect.
Lin Yuxin frowned, pondered for a moment, then looked at Old Zhang and finally revealed her purpose:
“Uncle Zhang, the pest infestation in your wheat field is quite serious. I have been researching pesticides these past few days, and I finally made progress last night. I would like to use your wheat field for an experiment.”
"If you succeed, all the insects in your wheat field will be eliminated, and the wheat will be fine. If you fail, I promise that I will compensate you with grain for whatever amount you lose during the harvest."
Lin Yuxin spoke very sincerely and earnestly. She didn't want to deceive the people. She couldn't guarantee whether the insecticide would be successful, as it was her first time doing it.
If it fails, the old man will have no food next year. She can't force others to do things just to conduct an experiment.
"Princess, please don't say that. These past few days, seeing these insects in the fields has been heartbreaking. This year, it seems that Heaven is not letting the people of Beicheng off the hook!"
As Old Zhang spoke, tears streamed down his face, and he wiped them away haphazardly with his sleeve.
Old Zhang looked at Lin Yuxin again and continued:
“Princess, please use it if you wish! I don’t want any reward. You’re doing this for the sake of the people of Beicheng. I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t understand things. Besides, with the pests in my fields, if I don’t kill them, the harvest won’t be good.”
"It would be better to give it to you and use it to benefit the people. If it succeeds, it will be a blessing for the entire Xia Kingdom!"
After Old Zhang finished speaking earnestly, the people around him also chimed in:
“That’s right, Princess. If Old Man Zhang’s wheat field isn’t enough, then take mine too. After all, this wheat was given to us by the Princess. Without the Princess, we would have starved to death a month or two ago!”
“That’s right, Princess. Just say the word if you need anything. We may just be ordinary farmers, but we still want to do our part for the Xia Kingdom.”
"Yes, now that this pesticide is available, it's the ordinary people who will benefit, so we should support it."
The surrounding people shouted loudly, all of them full of passion, as if they were going to the front line to fight.
Lin Yuxin's eyes were already wet with tears. She looked around at the lovely people around her. These people were the most simple and honest, without so much scheming and deceit.
All they have is a simple, patriotic heart.
"Very well, I will definitely research and develop this insecticide so that future generations will no longer suffer from insect pests."
Lin Yuxin held back her tears, looked at Old Man Zhang with a serious expression, then looked at the surrounding people and spoke earnestly.
For the sake of these people, she also had to develop an insecticide.
Lin Yuxin had the guards bring five buckets of water. She poured five bottles of insecticide into each bucket, then had the guards put on the masks she had made and start spraying the pesticide in the wheat field!
She divided the acre of wheat field into five parts, one part for each type of medicine, and had the guards begin to sprinkle it.
After applying a small amount of pesticide, Lin Yuxin put up a sign for each wheat field and wrote the name of the pesticide on it to make it easier to remember where the pesticide was applied.
Then Lin Yuxin sent two guards to stay there while she went back. She planned to check on the situation again tomorrow.
As soon as he stepped into the government office, he saw Li Xiaochen striding towards the outside.
"What! You need to go out?"
Seeing his anxious look, Lin Yuxin asked in confusion.
"No, did you leave so early this morning? You weren't there when I woke up."
Li Xiaochen's eyes flickered, and he changed the subject by asking a question.
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk more, Lin Yuxin didn't think much of it, assuming it was some official business, so she didn't ask and simply nodded in response:
"I researched several insecticides all night last night, and I was so happy this morning that I rushed out without even having time to finish them."
Knowing she was in the wrong, Lin Yuxin took Li Xiaochen's hand and led him inside.
Li Xiaochen was also pulled inside by her.
"Really? How effective is it?"
Li Xiaochen followed up with a question.
"I don't know yet. I just sprinkled the medicine today. I'll go check on it again tomorrow."
Lin Yuxin shook her head and said helplessly, "We'll have to wait a few more days to see the effect. If it doesn't work well, I'll have to re-formulate the insecticide."
"It's alright, if it doesn't work this time, it will definitely work next time. I believe in you, my Xin Xin is the best!"
Li Xiaochen gently comforted her, while wearing a proud expression, which made Lin Yuxin laugh.
"Yes, yes, I'm amazing! Come on, let's get something to eat. I haven't had breakfast yet! I'm starving."
