The incident involving Lin Yuxin caused quite a stir in other countries, but it didn't affect her at all.
Lin Yuxin revised her insecticide twice more before finally succeeding.
Lin Yuxin and Li Xiaochen specifically issued regulations stipulating that the pesticides would be distributed by the local government, and that each year, the people should report how many acres of land they owned and how much pesticide they needed.
The amount to be distributed was calculated and determined by the government, in order to prevent people from accidentally ingesting these medicines, as they could still kill people if ingested directly.
After Lin Yuxin's research was successful, she also organized a special lecture tour and led people to explain it to each village one by one.
This took half a month.
By the time the pesticides had been widely applied throughout the northern part of the city, it was already the end of October.
The wheat in the fields has grown very tall. Except for Uncle Liu's wheat seedlings, which were destroyed because of the experiment, the wheat fields of other people are growing well.
Lin Yuxin helped Uncle Liu cut down the dead wheat in the field, and after clearing the land, she planted sweet potatoes directly.
The sweet potatoes in the experimental field have grown quite large and will be ready for harvest in another two weeks.
She thought that since Uncle Liu had no wheat left, and the field was just sitting empty anyway, she might as well plant sweet potatoes in advance so that they would have something to eat next summer.
Commercial streets have gradually opened, and the number of residents in the northern part of the city is increasing.
Since Lin Yuxin came of age, she has entrusted Xiao Hao to Li Xiaochen for education.
She thought of a problem: she was just a woman, and at most she could only teach him the principles of being a good person, but the intrigues and strategies in the imperial court were not something a woman like her could teach.
So she simply became a hands-off manager and sent Xiao Hao over directly.
Li Xiaochen thought about the boy's identity and didn't refuse, but for some reason, the two just couldn't stand each other.
As Xiao Hao grows up, he becomes bolder and bolder, and sometimes he can even exchange a few words with Li Xiaochen.
Lin Yuxin was truly impressed; this was the fearlessness of a newborn calf!
November arrived in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yuxin felt unwell as soon as she woke up that morning, as if the air was stuffy. She paused in her dressing, then quickly finished and ran outside.
"Princess, why are you running? Your shoes, you haven't put them on yet!"
Seeing the princess running out without regard for her image, Xiaodie quickly grabbed her shoes and chased after her.
Li Xiaochen was just about to call Lin Yuxin for breakfast when he saw her running outside without even putting on her shoes. Thinking something had happened, he worriedly stepped forward to stop her and asked:
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic! You forgot to put on your shoes?"
"Princess! Your shoes!"
At this moment, Xiaodie caught up and handed over the shoes.
Li Xiaochen naturally took it and knelt down to put it on her.
Ever since the imperial decree of marriage was issued, Li Xiaochen has been taking care of Lin Yuxin intentionally or unintentionally. He would think about and arrange everything for Lin Yuxin in advance before going on to do his own things.
Lin Yuxin was not used to it at first, but now she is very used to it.
After she put on her shoes, she excitedly pulled Li Xiaochen up and said:
Can you smell the scent in the air?
What does it taste like?
Li Xiaochen was puzzled and sniffed again, but there was still no smell.
"The smell of dampness, the moisture in the air, that means it's going to rain, it really is going to rain!"
Lin Yuxin excitedly shouted to Li Xiaochen.
Although the book indicates rain at the end of November, given the humidity in the air, it's not impossible for it to rain earlier. It seems the trees she planted have had an effect; Zhao Yi and the others' efforts haven't been in vain!
Lin Yuxin had never been so excited. It was like you had worked hard for a long time without any results, but suddenly one day you were rewarded with something big. How could you not be happy?
"Really? That's great!"
Li Xiaochen was also very happy to hear this. He did not doubt Lin Yuxin's words. If she said it would rain, then it would rain.
So that very day, Li Xiaochen issued an order that it was going to rain in the northern part of the city, and asked the people to take precautions in advance.
Three days passed, and on the night of the third day, a heavy rain finally fell, immersing the entire northern city in the joy of the rain.
"It's raining! It's finally raining!"
"Waaaaah, that's great, that's great!"
"Thank God, thank God, God bless us!"
Even from inside the government office, Lin Yuxin could hear the excited voices of the people outside.
Lin Yuxin looked at the rain falling outside, her lips curled up, and she smiled. It felt so good.
The rain lasted for five whole days before it gradually subsided. If it hadn't subsided soon, Lin Yuxin would have been worried about the flood situation!
Thankfully, it's finally small!
It finally rained in Beicheng, which meant that Lin Yuxin and Li Xiaochen were preparing to return to Beijing.
The day after it rained, Li Xiaochen sent a letter to the capital, requesting that a prefect be sent over. They couldn't possibly let the two of them stay here forever, could they?
He still wants to go back and get married as soon as possible.
On the tenth day after the rain stopped, the prefect of the northern city finally arrived. He was Qiu Huayu, the top scholar in the imperial examination last year, who had been working as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy for a year.
The Emperor sent him out to gain prestige, which also shows that he is one of the Emperor's men.
Lin Yuxin waited until everything in the experimental field was harvested, and the harvest truly amazed everyone. Sweet potatoes alone, planted on only one mu, yielded 500 jin, along with 400 jin of corn, 500 jin of peanuts, and 600 jin of potatoes.
This shows how high the production volume of these things is.
Lin Yuxin directly instructed Qiu Huayu on the follow-up matters in Beicheng, asking him to distribute these grain seeds and plant them widely in Beicheng, so that they would become a specialty of Beicheng in the future.
