Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Three carriages parked by the river

Qianying found some firewood and put it on the ground. Jiang Li built a fire and found some small sweet potatoes, preparing to roast them and let them taste them. They should be very sweet.

"Master, do you want to eat lumps of earth for lunch?"

"Well, this is called sweet potato. I'll make some for you to try. It will be very useful in the future. I came here just to find it. I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it."

“I didn’t expect this thing to grow in the woods.”

Xiuhua squatted down and looked at him curiously: "Master, if you want to take the lumps of earth back to eat, there are not many of them. I'm afraid they are not enough."

Jiang Li shook his head and said with a smile: "You will know later. Use cement soil and sprinkle water to grow the seedlings. Don't kill them. Let's go back as soon as possible. These things will be of great use in the future."

"This is a great treasure. It is full of treasures. The seedlings can be fried and eaten. Not only is it delicious, but the key is that there are so many of them. Once they grow, they will form a large patch. If you can't finish them, you can feed them to cattle and sheep."

"It's not a big deal to eat alfalfa all the time. It's good to change the taste occasionally. There are also sweet potatoes. You can steam them directly, eat them raw, slice them and dry them to eat in the cold winter, or grind them into powder and make vermicelli to dry and eat."

Biyuexiuhua was stunned, her eyes fell on the clod of earth, her eyes were shining: "Oh my god, there are so many ways to eat this thing, the key is that it bears a lot of fruits. If this is planted, the people will not have to go hungry."

"Master, how much does this thing yield per acre?"

"A conservative estimate is more than 6,000 kilograms. If the right method is used in sandy soil, it is not impossible to produce 10,000 kilograms per mu. Compared with growing grain, this is very cost-effective."

In ancient times, an acre of land was much larger than it is today, but the grain yield was only two or three hundred kilograms, which was too low and simply impossible to eat. Only by switching to high-yield grain varieties could the people's hunger problem be solved.

The country can only be stable if the people are not hungry. It's not that she doesn't want to grow crops, but she just doesn't know how to grow them. She knows nothing about hybrid rice.

Instead of wasting time, it is better to switch to high-yield and easy-to-grow crops.

As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, the other three were completely stunned.

After Xiuhua came to her senses, she exclaimed, "Master, if it can really be grown, the people's lives will be better. Baby, this is really a big treasure."

"Hush, don't be too happy too soon. I've only seen this thing, but I've never grown it myself. I don't know if it can be grown or if the yield will be reduced. It takes time to try."

"Until it's grown, this matter will be kept secret."

"Yes, I understand."

Qiguo Capital

Jiang left the farm to arrange the sweet potato matter, then returned to the general's mansion, gave out the gifts he had bought, took a bath, and fell into bed, sleeping soundly.

Qiao Shu knew that she was tired, so she told the servants not to disturb her and to heat up the food in the kitchen so that she could eat it whenever she woke up.

I slept until dark. My stomach growled with hunger. I sat up, rubbed my eyes, yawned, and said sleepily, "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving."

There was a sound of the door being pushed open, Jiang Li fell down with his eyes closed, and stretched out his hand: "Eat, I want to eat~~~"

A tall figure sat beside the bed, helped the girl up, let her lean on his arms, and fed her mouthful of food. Jiang Li ate with her eyes closed like a rice-drying machine.

Mo Yuan sighed when he saw how tired she was.

After feeding her, he looked at the person who was sleeping soundly again, leaned over to cover her with the quilt, kissed her on the forehead with tenderness in his eyes, got up, closed the door, and left, going directly to Qianying's residence.

Qianying opened the door and looked at the person standing outside. Her heart skipped a beat and she lowered her head in a hurry, feeling guilty: "General, why are you here?"

Mo Yuan's eyes deepened when he saw this. He strode in, sat on the chair, and said in a deep voice, "Qianying, you and the princess went out. Tell me if anything happened along the way."

...It's over, it's over. The princess ran off to marry someone. If he tells this, his head will be twisted off. It will be fatal!

He was extremely flustered, but his face was stern. “Well, it’s nothing, actually. I just went to Yun Country and bought some sweet potatoes. The princess said that it was a high-yield grain and asked us not to tell anyone.”

Mo Yuan tapped the table with one hand, making a clacking sound. Seeing that his body was tense, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a meaningful voice, "Go on, explain everything in detail."

Qianying swallowed her saliva, sat on the stool and lowered her head: "Okay, Princess, after you conquer Panlong Village, you can also take down small villages along the way, gather them together, and hand them over to Pei Xuanguan."

"Lin Xiao and the others are here too. Nothing will go wrong with them watching over us."

A stick of incense passed

"General, this is what happened. The princess is fine. She was just in a hurry to keep the sweet potato seedlings alive, so she was so tired. Is there really nothing else?"

Help! Why doesn't the general leave? Has he seen something and knows that he is hiding something? But he dare not say it. If he does, the general will kill him and the princess will not let him go.

If you don't say it, at least you can save your life.

Mo Yuan's cold voice was filled with anger: "Qian Ying, there is still something else. Think about it carefully. Is there anything you missed? Speak clearly now, and I will forgive you for the past."

Qianying raised her head upon hearing this, with a look of fear in her eyes.

"No, no, that's all. I have explained everything clearly."

The two looked at each other, and soon Qianying couldn't stand it anymore, and turned away directly, with a face that was about to cry: "General, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I can't tell you. If the princess knows about it, I will lose my head."

"Haha, if you don't tell me, you won't be able to save your head now."

Qianying's shoulders slumped when he heard that, and he drooped his head. His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "General, if I say so, you can make me walk overnight and transfer me to the mountain village to work, but I can't stay here."

Mo Yuan's eyes darkened when he heard this.

"Yes, go ahead."

Qianying closed her eyes and talked blabberingly. She felt the cold in the room getting heavier. She couldn't help rubbing her arms and shivering: "General, the princess is replacing Princess Nishang to marry, but she didn't get married or consummate the marriage."

"That Crown Prince Feng Su was either beaten by the princess or schemed against by her. He really has no personal feelings for her and has never done anything to let the general down. Do you think it's possible..."

Mo Yuan glanced at him, stood up and was about to leave. He could hear his voice faintly: "You go to the farm to work. When you finish planting a hundred acres, come back. Why don't you pack your bags quickly?"

"Yes, I will clean it up right away."

Watching him walk away, Qianying wiped her forehead and nodded, letting out a long sigh of relief: "Damn, I'm finally alive. The general's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and it's frightening."
