After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Li Xingjian paused briefly and nodded, "Doctor Ding is right. A village of 200 to 300 people cannot be easily relocated, and the land that has been reclaimed with great difficulty cannot be left uncultivated. The most important thing is to find a way to get rich, and it should be as convenient as possible."

"Sir, the villagers have lived here for generations. Haven't they found anything that can make money in all these years?" Ling Junsheng asked.

Ding Xirui put down the bowl and raised his voice:

"Captain Ling, I think the problem lies in the fact that they have lived here for generations. The villagers rarely contact the outside world and don't know what the outside world needs. Naturally, they can't find things and ways to make money."

"Yeah." An Yumo nodded and agreed: "We haven't been able to go out these days. We just chatted with a few sisters-in-law and learned a lot of things. For example, the men in Xiaoshi Village mostly exchange wives with their cousins. The people who come and go are no more than Daling Village, Xiaoling Village, and the two villages in Yonghe County on the other side of the mountain. The range is very small. Of course, there are also people who go out to work, such as Brother Ma Tianyi who works as a blacksmith in Lan County. He has been out more or less in the past few years, so there are empty yards in the village."

"Yes, it's precisely because they haven't found a way to make money that some people can't hold on any longer and leave," Lin Mingxuan continued.

"It is said that if you live in the mountains, you can eat from them. Aren't there any medicinal herbs and mushrooms in the mountains?" asked a yamen runner.

Yuan Sansheng shook his head and patted his shoulder.

"Little brother, the surrounding miasma is serious and we can't go into the mountain. Otherwise, I would have paid for it long ago."

"I see."

"Ah!" There was silence at the dinner table.

Ding Xirui looked at everyone and coughed lightly, "Sir, it's rare to have so many people here. Instead of sitting here and discussing, why not take action?"

"Action also requires direction. Doctor Ding, do you and your wife have any ideas?" Li Xingjian asked.

"Sir, my idea is not mature yet. Please give me some suggestions."

"Doctor Ding, please speak." Li Xingjian nodded in agreement, and the others gathered around. Ding Xirui and Lin Mingxuan looked at each other and got a positive response. She smiled slightly and spoke:

"Sir, if the villagers want to get rich, there are basically two ways. First, make things that can be sold for money sell for more money, such as increasing food production. There are several factors that affect food production, such as land, water, and seeds. Of course, there are also factors of nature. This is not something we can interfere with, so let's put it aside for now."

When everyone heard the word "God", they all smiled.

Li Xingjian tapped the table lightly. "Well, it's like this. Is the soil barren? Should the seeds be changed? Is there enough water in the river? Is there enough fertilizer? Also, is the land overused? All of these affect food production. So, we need to check all of these and see which one can be changed."

"Yes." Ding Xirui nodded.

"This year's corn harvest is good and the crops are growing well. I think I will bring some corn, pumpkins and sweet potatoes to plant next spring," Li Xingjian continued.

"Your Excellency is wise."

Li Xingjian waved his hands, "Hey, I wish I could have the power of clones so I can visit all the villages around Lan County..."

"Sir..." Ling Junsheng sighed. Since Li Xingjian took office, Lan County has been much better than before. In the past two years, he has done everything by himself and has lost a lot of weight. Even in this situation, he still thinks he hasn't done enough...

Li Xingjian ignored Ling Junsheng and continued to ask, "Doctor Ding, what about the second point?"

"The second point is what Captain Ling and that brother mentioned. In addition to daily farming, are there other ways to make money? Even if it's just a small amount to improve the food during the holidays." Ding Xirui continued.

"In the past, the village would help nearby hunters process animal fur. In recent years, the miasma has become increasingly severe, and fewer and fewer people go into the mountains to hunt, so this road has been cut off..." Banxia added timidly.

Everyone scratched their heads and thought, the firelight illuminated each face, which was actually quite moving under the night sky.

Ding Xirui stood up, went to the kitchen to pour himself a bowl of water, sat down again, and looked at Li Xingjian pacing by the side. This matter was not complicated. Li Xingjian was the parent official, and it would definitely not be difficult for him.

After a while, Li Xingjian also sat down again: "If you can't process fur, can you weave cloth, make embroidery, or do carpentry? We can't go to the higher slopes, is there really nothing useful at the foot of the mountain? Are there any special trees or grasses? Do the people in the village have any special skills..."

The train of thought opened up, and everyone couldn't help but clap their hands, "Your Excellency is right, we have so many people, let's look around tomorrow and ask more questions."

After the preliminary agreement, Li Xingjian brought pen, ink and paper and made a simple division of labor. Lin Mingxuan needed to see a patient, Xiaoqiang and Aqing helped and could not leave. Xiaoqin was asked to boil water in the kitchen, and the four of them stayed in the clinic; Ding Xirui, Yuan Sansheng and Chenpi all recognized some medicinal herbs, and each took two people to the foot of the mountain to observe; the rest of the people were divided into two groups, one group followed Li Xingjian to the fields, and the other group, led by Ling Junsheng, asked around in the village.

As the night deepened, Li Xingjian and his group said goodbye and left. Ding Xirui and the others cleaned up the courtyard and prepared to wash up and go to bed. Hey, there seemed to be one more person in the courtyard.

At some point, Qin Xiaofeng turned back and followed An Yumo silently, helping to move things.
