I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

When I got back, both children were not at home.

Jiaojiao took her home.

Ji Xiaobei was about to go out on horseback.

"Xiaobei, how are you? Have you seen the emperor?" Mrs. Lin held her and asked quietly.

"seen!"

Mrs. Lin: "Did he agree?"

Ji Xiaobei: "Not yet, but he will agree soon. Don't worry, mother. I'm going to find Master Cao."

Mrs. Lin nodded repeatedly.

Can she not worry?

What should I do?

"Slow down!" Mrs. Lin warned from behind.

Ji Xiaobei and Xiao Baiju have disappeared.

She did not go to see Lord Cao, but turned around and went to Jiaojiao's house.

When I entered the door, Caixia was boiling water in the yard.

"Miss Ji, you are here, come in quickly! The three young masters have just woken up and are having breakfast!"

Caixia said with a smile.

A few days ago, she and Jiaojiao lived in Heye's house in the capital, where there were too many servants.

She has no work to do and feels bored every day.

Jiaojiao laughed and scolded her, saying that she was not destined to enjoy a good life.

Finally returning to her familiar home, she started to manage everything again.

"Miss Ji, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll give you a bowl of porridge and some scallion pancakes that I just made..."

Caixia happily walked into the house holding porridge and cakes.

"Sister, I sneezed early in the morning and knew you were coming..." Jiaojiao happily pulled Ji Xiaobei to her room.

"What did His Majesty say?" she asked impatiently.

"I said I can help Cao Da eliminate the insect plague!"

"Xiaobei, even the Grand Minister of Agriculture can't do it, do you really have a solution?" Jiaojiao's almond-shaped eyes widened.

"When my mother was farming in Jijiawan, there were insects in the fields. Grandma Huang gave her medicine, and when she came to Anzhou, my mother was reluctant to throw it away. She thought that she would need it when she came to Anzhou to farm, and it should be able to kill the aphids in the fields!"

Ji Xiaobei said with a smile.

"Xiaobei, are you using this condition to exchange with His Majesty?"

Jiaojiao held her hand and asked with concern.

She and Fu Jichang are in love with each other, what a good match, but the emperor insists on breaking them up!

Hey!

What she was worried about now was that even if Xiaobei killed the aphids in the fields in Anzhou, the emperor would not agree to grant the marriage.

Then can Princess Yulin agree to it?

Everyone in the capital knew that Princess Yulin was extremely favored, and if she wanted the moon in the sky, the emperor would find a way to pick it for her.

People in the palace were most afraid of her crying. Once she cried, a rash would appear on her body and it would take several days to go away.

He has been like that since childhood, and even the imperial doctors can't do anything about it.

Ji Xiaobei had breakfast and rode on horseback to find Lord Cao.

"Jiaojiao, there is only Xiaozhuo and himself in your yard. You should add a few male servants!" Ji Xiaobei looked around.

"Well, it's okay, He Ye will be here in the evening!"

Jiaojiao looked shy.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go first and go find Master Cao!"

"Caixia, go get my sun hat!"

Jiaojiao turned around and shouted at Caixia.

Caixia agreed and took out Jiaojiao's hat from the house.

"This hat was made for you by Rajida herself. I can't wear it!"

Ji Xiaobei declined.

"Put it on, to prevent your face from being burned by the sun. It won't look good when you get married!" Jiaojiao put it on Ji Xiaobei without saying a word.

"I'm leaving!"

Ji Xiaobei rode away on horseback.

The hat on Jiaojiao's head was made by Rajida in three days and nights before she left. The pattern on it is very Western in style, and it is dotted with pearls and shells, which is very beautiful.

Ji Xiaobei pulled the horse's reins with one hand and touched his hat with the other.

After leaving the South City and reaching the edge of the field, Ji Xiaobei put the hat into the space.

I was afraid of getting Jiaojiao dirty.

Lord Cao saw Ji Xiaobei coming from afar and trotted over from the field.

"Miss Ji, Miss Ji, did you bring the things?"

Lord Cao asked as he ran.

He lost his balance and nearly fell to the ground, but Ji Xiaobei caught him.

Lord Cao chuckled and said, "I'm old and useless!"

Ji Xiaobei took off the saddlebag from the little white horse.

"There are two bottles of pesticides in there. They were prepared by Grandma Huang for my fields when she was in Jijiawan. Try them and see if they work!"

Lord Cao: "Good, good, your Huang Po's cooking must be excellent."

"Master Cao, I want Huang Po to come back and take care of you!"

Ji Xiaobei said suddenly.

"No need, your Huang Po has her own things to do. She likes to open a pharmacy, so let her stay in Ye County. I am fine here!"

Lord Cao looked at Ji Xiaobei with gratitude.

Ji Xiaobei was not in a good mood this morning.

After receiving the letter that day, Zheng Guo went straight to the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau with Xiao Mai Ye Zi and Zhang Hong.

I found an acquaintance and got tested.

The man recommended two pesticides.

They were stunned and happily bought two boxes and put them in the cold storage.

He also wrote a letter to Ji Xiaobei, telling him the specific dosage.

When Ji Xiaobei was talking to Lord Cao just now, he underestimated the concentration. Pesticides were not used in ancient fields, so even tiny doses can kill insects.

And it won't pollute the land.

Lord Cao carried his things and went to a meeting with the Minister of Agriculture's men.

Ji Xiaobei was walking in the fields bored.

In her previous life, she was used to living in the city, so when she had holidays, she liked to go into the mountains or visit secluded ancient villages.

They are used to living in cities made of steel and concrete, and feel that people living in the mountains are particularly relaxed.

Now she understood that it was just a case of "the grass is greener on the other side".

No matter where you live, there are troubles.

"Lord Cao, you said yesterday that we were not allowed to spray anything, saying that the wheat was about to fill with grain and couldn't bear it. Why are you saying we should spray again? Do you have any confidence in your Minister of Agriculture?"

An old lady shouted at Lord Cao.

"My fellow countryman, this is the latest method of pest control that our Minister of Agriculture has just found. You won't know until you try it!"

The old lady looked curiously at the three porcelain jars on the ground.

"Master Cao, can the contents of these three small jars cure such a large area of ​​land?"

someone asked again.

"Let me see what's inside!" The old lady insisted on opening the lid and leaned over to smell it despite being stopped.

As soon as I opened the lid, a pungent smell came out.

"Ah, what's that smell?" Everyone covered their noses.

It's really suffocating.

"No, we can't spray it. The smell is so bad, it must be poisonous. Maybe the bugs will die, and the wheat will die too? It's not worth it!"

The old lady jumped and shouted again.

Cao glared at her and said, "This fellow doesn't want to spray, forget it. Whoever wants to try it first, no money is required, but I will start charging money from tomorrow!"

"Ah, you're still collecting money?"

The old lady sneered, shook her head and left.

"Hey, so it's the Grand Minister of Agriculture who wants to sell it for money?"

"Yes, let's go, let's go..."

"What can the Minister of Agriculture come up with? Humph, the annual grain production should be the same as before..."

……

"If the seedlings die after being sprayed with this medicine, will the Minister of Agriculture compensate for it?" a man came over carrying a hoe and asked.

"Compensation, 600 coins for every acre of land that dies!"

Lord Cao gritted his teeth and said that he didn't dare to say too much, because if someone really died, he wouldn't be able to afford the compensation.

"Okay, I trust the Minister of Agriculture. I'll spray two acres of land first!"

The man put the hoe to the ground and spoke loudly.

"Okay, let's go spray..."
