"Girl, are you serious? Can we grow high-yield crops on our land?" asked an old man in thin clothes, rubbing his hands.
"It's true, it can be planted!" Li Yan nodded.
The old man and his family were very happy after hearing this, and even imagined the scene of planting such crops in their own fields.
Beside him stood two young boys who, like the old man, were dressed very thinly, with their sleeves shortened to reveal their red, frozen arms.
Their hands, feet, and faces were all covered with frostbite. Li Yan saw that they smiled brightly because of her words.
Li Yan was infected by their bright smiles. Even if they live in such a harsh environment, as long as they are given a glimmer of hope, they can survive tenaciously like weeds!
In fact, Li Yan gained a lot from her exploration.
The geographical conditions of Suzhou City are truly unique. After the snow from the Qilian Mountains melted, an oasis was formed in Suzhou City. The fertile soil and water sources greatly facilitated agricultural irrigation.
It's a pity that the Hu people like to raise horses. They ordered the people to plant grass on the fertile land. The only pitiful fields left were exploited by the Hu people, and the people had to support their families. How difficult it was!
Looking at people who were living so hard, Li Yan felt an inexplicable urge in her heart. She must promote sweet potatoes to this land in the future.
After saying goodbye to the old man, Li Yan continued her visit.
These days, Li Yan was assigned to investigate the soil quality of various small villages within the jurisdiction of Suzhou City. At first, when the villagers saw them at the village entrance, they all hid far away, and some even closed their doors and dared not open them.
Later, when they learned that she was the county lady in Rongcheng who grew high-yield crops, they were no longer afraid and asked her if they could plant crops on their own land.
They heard from passing caravans that they were very yearning for the sacred valley and hoped that they would have the opportunity to grow such magical crops in the future.
Gradually, the people of the entire Suzhou City heard about this and were excited, expectant, and worried.
I'm afraid that such high-yield seeds cannot be circulated to their Suzhou City. After all, this place is under the control of the Hu people, and the two sides are in a state of hostility. How can they allow such high-yield crops to fall into the hands of the enemy?
Li Yan was unaware of the people's concerns. She inspected the land as usual, trying hard to demonstrate her role and value.
"Miss, the general asks you to go back immediately!" an attendant reported.
Li Yan, who was walking in the field, stopped when she heard this, and then led the group back.
"I've brought the defense map. Release Miss Li, and I'll be your hostage!"
Timur flatly refused, "That won't do. Without your mediation, how are we going to get rid of the garrison?"
Seeing Qin Yue's increasingly ferocious expression, Temur was in great joy. He liked to see his enemies helpless and furious, and being controlled by him!
Qin Yue put on an expression of extreme distrust, and compromised, saying, "Since you won't allow me to take her away, then I'll leave someone by her side to look after her safety!"
Temuer sneered. In his territory, let alone one person, even if he sent ten people, he would never come back. Since he wanted to send people to die so much, he would grant his wish!
He smiled grimly and said, "Sure!"
Seeing that he agreed, Qin Yue took out the defense map.
Temur snatched the map away, examining it with a burning gaze. After confirming it was genuine, he said contemptuously, "You're smart, kid! If you dare to fool me with a fake, I'll immediately have someone chop off that girl's hands and send them to you!"
"You dare to hurt her..."
"As long as you're obedient, I won't make things difficult for her!"
"I want to see him and ask him in person if she is okay!"
Timur shook his head. "If you want to see her, you have to exchange valuable information for her!"
Qin Yue pondered for a moment, his face showing a look of struggle. Finally, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "The Crown Prince of Dajin rebelled and was demoted. Now the order in the court has changed. This news is significant enough, right?"
Temuer showed ecstasy when he heard this. The situation in the court of the Jin Dynasty was unstable now, with constant infighting. It certainly did not have the energy to unite against the outside world. This was a good time for him to send troops for a surprise attack. God was really helping me!
He asked excitedly, "Is what you said true?"
In response to Temuer's questioning, Qin Yue said disdainfully: "You can send someone to investigate!"
Seeing him so confident, Temur could no longer sit still. He first ordered someone to bring Li Yan over, and then ordered his servants to stay here and monitor the two of them.
Before leaving, he said to his attendant, "Just give him a cup of tea!" After that, he left in a dusty state!
When Li Yan stepped into the outer courtyard, she immediately saw Qin Yue staring at her with burning eyes.
He suddenly stood up, rushed to Li Yan, and hugged her tightly and firmly! As if he wanted to rub her into his body, as if Li Yan would disappear if he let go.
"sorry......"
It was he who caused her to suffer such an unexpected disaster!
Li Yan was startled by his sudden action, but then she felt his hot chest and rapidly beating heart.
Li Yan could feel his body trembling slightly, and the strong emotions that he was trying hard to suppress.
While being kidnapped, she told the barbarians that they had kidnapped the wrong person and persuaded them to let her go.
Those people laughed and said that Qin Yue was cowardly and timid, and he didn't even dare to let you know that he liked you.
She was a little skeptical at the time.
It was not until this moment that she truly felt Qin Yue's feelings for her!
