One sweet potato can yield three kilograms of sweet potatoes. If she plants all of them, then there won’t be enough seeds, right?
Lin Yuxin started to plant the seeds she had selected in the space right away.
The planting methods of potatoes and sweet potatoes are quite different. Peanuts need to be peeled and the peanut kernels are inserted into the shells. The same goes for corn, which needs to be peeled off one by one.
Lin Yuxin simply dealt with them all, and then started sowing the seeds. Because of the elixir, she just diluted the water and watered the seeds directly, so the seeds all absorbed the elixir and were not afraid that there was not enough elixir.
In this way, Lin Yuxin worked in the soil all night and harvested 400 kilograms of corn, 300 sweet potatoes, 200 kilograms of potatoes, and 400 kilograms of peanuts.
It looks like I'll have to try harder tomorrow night, and I'm also counting on the things in her space. I'll have to take advantage of going out to the small water source to see if there are any seeds to plant and bring them back.
Mixed together, this will arouse suspicion.
It was dawn when Lin Yuxin left the space. Although she hadn't slept all night, she didn't feel tired.
Lin Yuxin changed her clothes, washed up briefly, and went out.
Today's mission is a bit heavy. Zhao Er takes Xiao Hao to distribute food at the gate, Zhao Yi takes a few older men to plant trees, and the resettlement work at the city gate is handed over to the single-handed subordinate, Li Xiao.
She took a single knife to look for water sources, saying "small water source", but in fact she was just digging a well.
Jebuk City has high temperatures and rains all year round. It is usually only so hot in summer, and it rains in other seasons.
Therefore, water will accumulate in some places for a long time and seep into the ground, forming invisible groundwater.
As long as she finds the location and digs it out, the people will have water temporarily.
Yesterday she had asked people to free the two wells in the city, because there were too many wells in the city and she was afraid that they would not be enough.
As far as I know, she has already ordered the wells in those villages and counties to be unsealed. As far as I know, what is the situation?
When Lin Yuxin walked out, she saw Zhao Yi and Zhao Er had already set off with Xiao Hao and a few other kids.
Xiao Hao happily followed Zhao Er to the gate to distribute food.
The adults certainly looked willing, and Zhao Yi went to their rooms early in the morning and knocked on their doors one by one to wake them up.
When they saw Lin Yuxin before leaving, they all looked as if they had seen their enemy, which made Lin Yuxin confused.
After asking, I learned that Zhao Yi went to their room in the morning and woke them up one by one. Wang Da and Liu Da almost fought with Zhao Yi.
A slave was showing off in front of them? As a result, Zhao Yi directly drew the long sword from his waist, and frightened the few people into silence.
They were so angry that they had nowhere to vent their anger. Now that they saw Lin Yuxin, did they see hatred? Several of the elders had already thought about how to file a complaint against Lin Yuxin when they returned to the capital.
Lin Yuxin looked at the backs of the people, rolled her eyes, and said nonchalantly:
"It's okay. After two days, they won't even have the energy to glare at me."
Afterwards, Lin Yuxin went out with Dandao and others, but Lin Yuxin asked them to bring tools for digging.
Standing at the gate of the government office, Lin Yuxin looked at the people lined up in a long queue and knew that she had a long way to go!
"Let's go to the nearest village first."
Lin Yuxin said in a deep voice, and then strode out of the city.
Over the next few days, Lin Yuxin spent the day in the village outside the city, investigating the surrounding soil conditions, and at night she would go to the space to plant her grain seeds.
For several days in a row, Lin Yuxin had been working non-stop, requiring a lot of tonic medicine from the space, plus the fairy dew to support her, but she had already digested it all.
That night, Lin Yuxin was so worried that she had no appetite, because she had been running for several days and had not found any place with sufficient water, which meant that there was no water underground.
It seems that finding water source is still very difficult!
"Princess!"
At this time, Zhao Er came over to report.
"What is it?"
Lin Yuxin endured it and ate two more bites, then put down her chopsticks and asked.
"Princess, there is too much food in the granary. It can only be distributed for one day at most. Moreover, this morning, the people came to say that the two ancient wells in the city have run dry. I am afraid they have been drained for a long time."
Zhao Er lowered his head and reported truthfully.
"I understand. We'll have as much food as we can. I've sent a letter to the capital, so it should be there soon. As for the water issue, I'm still trying to figure it out!"
Lin Yuxin said expressionlessly.
She didn't expect that water was the hardest to find here. She had explored several villages in the past few days, but found nothing.
If we don’t find water, we won’t find food either.
It seems that she thought too simply. If the dog is found in the village, she will just take him into the mountains to have a look.
When she visited the village before, she also went to see the ancient wells. The water in those ancient wells was still clear.
The main reason is that many people have fled to the city, leaving only a few people in the village who still have some food at home or are conservative and willing to leave their homes.
There are many people eating and drinking, and everyone is very frugal, so the water consumption is also high, but it will take some time.
In addition, food is distributed every day, and she has also sent people to distribute food to those villages. The food that the people take home every day will be eaten up, and it is estimated that some will be saved, so the food should be able to last for a few days.
There is nothing left if you only eat vegetables. There is no way to eat vegetables for such a long time!
Lin Yuxin pondered for a moment and said:
"We will go to the village tomorrow. We will look for it in the mountains. There is a mountain behind Qiantangshui Village. That mountain is low. I heard from the villagers that they heard the roar of wild animals."
"Before, because there was no food, some villagers formed a team to go there, but some died and some were injured, which made life even more difficult for those villagers. So they didn't go there again. We will take you into the mountains tomorrow to have a look. Since there are wild animals, tell us about the water source."
This was the village she visited yesterday. She heard from the villagers there that wild animals would come down the mountain behind them every year, but this year due to the drought, only a few of them came down.
"Princess, this is probably not safe! If you encounter wild beasts, they will definitely protect you alone. Do you want to wait until the prince comes back?"
Seeing that Lin Yuxin had made up her mind, Zhao Er hesitated for a moment and said worriedly.
"I waited, and the people waited too. Before we could find water and food substitutes, the people would have nothing to eat. In the four villages in Jebuk City, more than 10,000 people would starve to death."
Lin Yuxin looked at Zhao Er and said in a deep voice.
Zhao Er's heart trembled, he pursed his lips, lowered his head and said:
"That's what the princess said!"
"My Lady, I'm out planting trees!"
"That's it. Whoever wants to plant it can go. The official is gone."
As soon as Zhao Er finished speaking, he heard a loud shout coming from the door.
Then the big guys walked in directly.
Lin Yuxin looked up, and saw that the previously majestic elders now had dark skin, disheveled hair, and sweat stains all over their heads. As soon as they came in, they smelled of sweat.
Lin Yuxin pursed her lips and frowned, trying hard not to ask them to leave.
She almost vomited after eating just a few bites of her meal.
Why are these people like refugees? Have they been tortured so badly by Zhao Yi?
