Chapter 404 Solution
"I bought it from outside." Yu Mengqing said casually.
Although Xue Zhonglan guessed her general origin, he probably didn't know that he had a space.
Of course, Yu Mengqing didn't intend to tell her all these things.
"Bought it? What are your plans?" Xue Zhonglan asked without any doubt.
Xue Zhonglan knew Yu Mengqing too well, she would definitely not buy these seeds for no reason.
That day she went to the villagers' fields and saw the land.
Based on my understanding of her, she should have found a solution.
No, it should be, she should be testing the solution she prepared now.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Looking at the several large baskets full of rice seeds, Xue Zhonglan couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, help me spread these seeds over there. I need to sprinkle some water on them every day."
Yu Mengqing pointed to the place she had cleaned up not far away and said.
"You don't think you can grow rice there, do you?" Xue Zhonglan asked in disbelief.
Yu Mengqing: “…” She wanted to say, does she look so stupid?
There's not even any soil there, so how can we plant crops? How can we plant crops?
She wanted to say, are you stupid or am I stupid?
But after seeing Xue Zhonglan's speechless expression, Yu Mengqing finally explained:
"You're overthinking it. I want to let these seeds germinate first, then spread them on the watered land, and then transplant them. This way, the yield will be much higher."
These are all ways to grow rice in the end times.
Although the land here is barren, now with her seeds, the problem of barrenness should be solved.
She believed that the yield of the seeds grown in her space would not be too low.
But she couldn't tell others that this was a special seed, right?
Isn't this very suspicious?
Moreover, she had asked the villagers here before, and they knew that the way to grow rice here was to directly sow the seeds without transplanting.
This will obviously reduce production.
In this way, she can't be said to be completely without skills in teaching them, right?
And it's not just rice. Even soybeans and other foods can increase their yields through transplantation.
Although she had the seeds in this space, if she didn't teach them anything technical, it would easily arouse their suspicion.
But things are different now. Now, coupled with her method, people's opinions are different.
Just like Xue Zhonglan now.
"Mengqing, are you sure this will increase production?"
"Sure!"
"Are those water areas outside okay?" Xue Zhonglan asked again.
"It should be possible! We have to give it a try to see if it works, right? What if it really succeeds?" Yu Mengqing said pretending to be uncertain.
This hasn't been tried yet, so she doesn't know if it will work.
Sure enough, after hearing Yu Mengqing's words, Xue Zhonglan didn't ask anything.
After all, she probably guessed a little about Yu Mengqing's identity.
If you do as she says, maybe a miracle will really happen.
Thinking of this, Xue Zhonglan immediately took action. Not only that, he went out and called Guo Peiying over as well.
Two people are always much faster than one.
I have to say that the seeds in space are different. Even their germination speed is much faster than that of ordinary seeds.
It takes at least ten days for ordinary seeds to germinate, but the seeds that Yu Mengqing took out had already grown short sprouts in less than three days.
This made Yu Mengqing very happy.
You know, this is the first step. If this step is successful, it will prove that this seed is indeed different.
"Mengqing, has this really grown?" Xue Zhonglan asked in disbelief, pointing at the seeds.
"Of course. What I said is always true." Yu Mengqing said very proudly.
Xue Zhonglan: “…”
"So what should we do now?" Guo Peiying asked curiously.
"Go and call the village chief of Yuelin County and tell him that I'm waiting for him at the village entrance!" Yu Mengqing ordered Caiyue who was standing aside.
After saying that, he called a few more people over and carried the germinated seeds to the entrance of Yuelin Village.
Then he took Xue Zhonglan and the others and headed towards Yuelin Village.
In Yu Mengqing's eyes, if the northwest region is not developed, recovering it will only mean having an extra piece of land.
There are even more people fleeing famine.
It is of no benefit to the Great Xia Kingdom.
At least in Yu Mengqing's eyes, this is the current situation.
Yu Mengqing either doesn't do it, or if she does it, she will do it to the best of her ability.
At the entrance of Yuelin Village, the village chief Yue Zhengxi was already standing there waiting for Yu Mengqing.
As everyone knows, the Princess of Chu is an expert in treating poisons and is also a kind person. She even discovered cassava and potatoes in Lingshi County.
The villagers of Lingshi County spent the last deep winter in peace.
Most importantly, she also designed this special thing called the Ondol.
The Princess of Chu may not know that she has already become a god-like figure in the eyes of her villagers.
So when Yue Zhengxi knew that the Princess of Chu was looking for him, he immediately stopped what he was doing and headed towards the village entrance she mentioned.
Unexpectedly, the Princess of Chu arrived earlier than him.
"Princess Chu, I wonder why you asked me to come here today..."
"Take these seeds. Take me to your paddy fields later and I'll teach you how to plant them."
Yu Mengqing didn't waste any time and directly stated her purpose.
You know, she is still waiting to return to the court?
Before she knew it, she had been in the border area for more than two years.
"Princess Chu, this... this might be a little difficult." Yue Zhengxi said in embarrassment.
As if afraid that Yu Mengqing might misunderstand, he continued to explain, "Princess Chu, you don't know that although these lands in our village are called water lands, they are all sandy lands. Moreover, they are too barren, not even as good as loess land."
Speaking of this, Yue Zhengxi's face was full of worry.
The war is no longer fought, but having enough food is still their biggest problem.
If it can’t be solved, they will still starve, right?
"I know everything you said, and I've understood it all. Just follow my instructions and see how it works."
Yu Mengqing said with finality.
After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that he had been too direct, and continued:
"We have to give it a try. Only by trying can there be hope, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengxi quickly responded, "Okay, okay, I'll distribute it to the villagers and let them try it."
After saying that, he prepared to go and get the seeds that Yu Mengqing brought.
But when I saw some tender teeth inside, I gasped.
"Princess Chu, this... this..."
