The dangers of the Northern Capital seemed to be completely shut out after returning. Fan Jiang also found his life's goal: to cultivate medicinal herbs well!
Originally, in Beidu, he was focused on growing potatoes, figuring out how to grow them well, how to harvest more potatoes, and how to teach more people to ensure sufficient logistical supplies. After the war ended, although he felt relieved, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness after the tension was released.
I don't know what to do next.
Unexpectedly, he had a new goal on his first day back.
Fan Jiang felt full of fighting spirit, thinking that he would go to the fields to check on the medicinal herbs the next day. He hadn't planted medicinal herbs for three or four years and needed to learn how to do it again.
With a plan for my life in place, all the fatigue from the past few days came rushing back, and my eyelids felt like they were about to fall open.
Qin Yilin saw this, stood up and said, "The two children have traveled a long way, so let them rest early today. We'll come back tomorrow."
Mr. and Mrs. Hu still had a lot to say, but they knew that what Qin Yilin said was true. Ling Ran looked alright, but Da Jiang was obviously exhausted, so they wanted the two of them to rest first.
"Okay, let's go back first. We have plenty of time ahead of us, so there's no rush."
Shui Qing glanced at Da Jiang, who was clearly tired and sleepy, but did not try to stop him. The group escorted Hu's mother, Ding Jiajia, and the others to the outside of the courtyard before turning back.
Fan Jiang greeted his family, went straight to his room, and collapsed into the soft, fluffy blankets, falling asleep immediately.
Shui Qing smiled and shook her head, closed the door for him, turned around and saw Ling Ran standing tall and motionless in the courtyard, and said, "Your room is still the same one you used to live in."
Ling Ran didn't move. "I know, Auntie. I have some questions I'd like to ask you privately, is that alright?"
At first, when the situation was unclear, he didn't think much of it, but the more time went on, the more grateful he became for his aunt's reminders, and he also wanted to ask his aunt what to do next.
Shui Qing roughly knew what Ling Ran wanted to ask, which was nothing more than the things she had told Ling Ran when he made the decision to go to Beidu.
She nodded: "Okay, let's talk outside."
Some things are better left unknown to the fewest people.
The moonlight was bright, and the distance was shrouded in mist.
After much deliberation, Ling Ran didn't ask what he wanted to ask first, but instead brought up Fan Jiang: "Da Jiang made a great contribution this time, and he will most likely be ranked at the top when it comes to rewarding merits."
Actually, it wasn't just about planting potatoes; they also provided potato seeds. However, the seeds were provided by Dajiang's family, and the credit will ultimately go to Dajiang.
Although Fanjiang was under the distant jurisdiction of the eldest son of the King of Yan, grain was too important. So important that the King of Yan personally inquired about it many times. During the war, he could not make potatoes available for planting throughout the country due to his own selfish reasons, but once things stabilized, he would definitely promote them to all regions.
Crops with such high yields per acre will have a huge impact on the entire Ming Kingdom!
Shui Qing had anticipated that Fan Jiang would have contributed, after all, an army's supplies are paramount before it can move, and supplies have always been of utmost importance in military campaigns! But hearing Ling Ran's cautious words still surprised her somewhat, "The front row?"
