Lu Yanzheng stared at her intently and said in a deep voice, "If the people of Dayue can eat their fill in the future, they will all owe you a debt of gratitude."
Regardless of where Jiang Qinyu got her sweet potato seeds, and regardless of whether other grains could be high-yielding, the mere fact that she introduced sweet potato cultivation was enough to make her a legend.
"Hehe, it's not that serious, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment." Jiang Qinyu felt embarrassed by his words and quickly looked away.
