Crossing the famine, the special agent peasant girl blows up one by one

Nan Ruyu brought Qu Qiuning and others to a farmer's home near the imperial city.

Qu Qiuning was curious about what the meals were like in this farmer's family, so he lifted the wooden lid on the big pot.

When Qu Qiuning saw that the pot was full of wild vegetables, he couldn't help but sigh and wondered how this family of three would survive.

"Auntie, do you eat these every day?"

Qu Qiuning couldn't help but ask.

"Girl, to be honest, it's good to have these wild vegetables to eat. In some places, you can't even find wild vegetables."

The old woman said with a look of relief.

"Mother-in-law, are there only three of you in your family?"

When the old woman heard Qu Qiuning ask this, her eyelids suddenly drooped, and the trace of smile on her face just now disappeared.

"There are only three of us, my grandfather and my grandson. My son went to the battlefield and has not returned yet. I am afraid he will never come back. My wife died of illness. Now we are the only ones left alive.

Maybe that day, the three of us, grandparents and grandchildren, will also follow him."

After the old woman finished speaking, she wiped away the tears that had seeped out of the corners of her eyes.

The little girl who was hiding in the corner in the distance and dared not come out suddenly ran out and hugged the old woman.

"Grandma, Xin'er, don't go looking for mother. Xin'er won't go, won't go."

The little girl hugged the old woman tightly, mumbling something.

Everyone looked at the old woman in confusion, not understanding why the little girl was afraid of her mother.

Seeing everyone's confusion, the old woman began to explain:

"When my daughter-in-law died of illness, her skin was ulcerated and her face was unrecognizable. Xin'er was only three years old at the time."

Everyone then understood the reason and couldn't help but feel sympathy for the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.

Qu Qiuning took out a few sticks from his sleeves and handed them to the little girl.

The little girl hid behind her grandmother timidly.

"This is candy. It's sweet and delicious."

Qu Qiuning bent down and spoke to the little girl in a friendly manner.

The little girl stretched out her skinny little hands and took the candy from Qu Qiuning.

He held it carefully in his own hand, then took out one and handed it to his brother beside him, and then took out another one and put it in his grandmother's hand.

The old woman stuffed the candy in her hand back into the little girl's hands.

"Grandma doesn't like sweets, Xin'er, eat it yourself."

Xin'er didn't say anything, just stared blankly at the candy in her hand.

"Yunfeng, go get them some food from the carriage."

Qu Qiuning gave instructions to Yunfeng.

Yunfeng immediately followed Qu Qiuning's order and walked towards their carriage parked outside the yard.

Soon, Yunfeng came over carrying a cloth bag and placed the bag in front of Qu Qiuning.

"Mother-in-law, here is a bag of rice. Please take it and make some porridge for the children!"

The old woman looked at the cloth bag on the ground in surprise, and then looked at Qu Qiuning in confusion.

She didn't know why she should give rice to Qu Qiuning and the others since they were just passers-by.

The old woman suddenly seemed to remember something and hugged her granddaughter tightly.

"I don't want your things, take them away quickly and don't think about my granddaughter."

The old woman's face showed fear, and there was a hint of vigilance in her words.

Nan Ruyu stood up at this time and said to the old woman:

"Take it! We are not bad people. Our lives will definitely get better and better in the future."

After Nan Ruyu finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the yard.

Everyone nodded to the old woman and her three generations of grandparents, then walked out of the yard.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were left standing blankly in the yard.

Nan Ruyu took Qu Qiuning and others to visit several farmers, and the results were the same.

Due to poverty and lack of food, only the old, weak and sick were left, and all the strong adult men went to the battlefield.

Qu Qiuning checked the soil in Nansang and found it was very fertile, but why couldn't he grow any crops?

Later I learned from Nan Ruyu that they mainly grow wheat in Nansang.

However, the ears of this type of wheat are very short and the grains are very few, resulting in very low yields.

In addition, Nansang has a hot climate and little rain, so the people's harvest is limited except for the part that is handed over to the state.

After learning this, Nan Ruyu took everyone back to the city.

The staple food of the Nansang people is wheat. At dinner, pancakes and a few side dishes are served on the table.

Everyone picked it up and started eating. It was many times more delicious than the bitter wild vegetables.

After the meal, Qu Qiuning spoke up and said that the most important thing for Nansang right now was to solve the problem of food shortage.

“Now that Nansang and Daqing have reached a consensus, Nansang can be considered a part of Daqing.

Now, it is June. If we do some planting, we can harvest when winter comes. This will solve the problem of food and clothing for the people and prevent them from starving to death.

Before the harvest, I will help the people of Nansang tide over the difficulties, but this requires you as a leader to make a wise decision.

Make sure the people of Nansang can accept becoming a vassal state of Daqing. If you fail to do so, I will turn against you and be ruthless to you.

Let's be frank, I can kill hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and I can also kill a country, there is no doubt about that."

Qu Qiuning finished speaking and waited for Nan Ruyu's answer. This story of the farmer and the snake has alerted many people.

Qu Qiuning hated this kind of thing the most, so she decided to say it in advance. After all, she already regarded Jing Mei as her sister.

"Miss Qu, please rest assured that I, Nan Ruyu, will not let you down.

I will never do such an ungrateful thing."

"Okay, take me to your warehouse in Nansang tomorrow, and I'll get you some potato seeds. This will give you a higher yield, so you can plant less wheat, and the land you take up will yield less."

Nan Ruyu smiled a smile that had not been seen for a long time. The people of Nansang were saved.

"I would like to thank Miss Qu for her kindness on behalf of the people of Nansang."

Nan Ruyu bowed to Qu Qiuning.

Nan Sang's state affairs have come to an end, but the poison in Nan Ruyu's body is a difficult problem!

The secret book of alchemy was taken away by the people of the Blue Bird Sect, and the poisonous insect in Nan Ruyu's body was controlled by Qu Qiuning's medicine.

But this always seems like a time bomb that might explode any day.

"Your Highness, do you know what kind of organization this Blue Bird Sect is? Do you know where it is located?"

Qu Qiuning thought that he could learn more about it first and prepare himself for finding the secret book.

"This Blue Bird Sect has been in Nansang for many years. It is very mysterious. No one knows what it does specifically. I only found out some clues a while ago.

I heard from my father that the Blue Bird Sect is located east and west of Nansang, in the Qilian Mountains.

Nan Ruyu told what she knew, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Maybe my second brother Nan Ruxuan knows more."

Only then did Qu Qiuning remember the man whose leg he had injured.

"Then let's go to him and ask some questions tomorrow." Qu Qiuning said calmly.

"If the young lady wants to know more about the Blue Bird Sect's food now, I can ask someone to bring Nan Ruxuan over."

"That's fine." Qu Qiuning replied. She didn't like to procrastinate.

Soon the guards brought the dying Nan Ruxuan.
