Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

"In the future, don't mind your own business. I can see that these people seem to be very dissatisfied with your disregard. If possible, I will find someone to find a way to keep them all in that bitter and cold place. You won't have to see these people again in the future, so as to avoid being plotted against. Otherwise, the few people in Jinling may cause trouble."

Wang Shiyu paused for a moment as she was lifting the curtain, then slowly let it down and nodded. Human life in this era is not valuable, otherwise so many people would have died before, even though there are still many children being born now.

"Then let's do this. Our family can no longer withstand these people's torment. My mother's address has been known by these people. If they have a chance to escape in the future, they will definitely come back. After all, these people only care about food and not beatings. Besides, we have no money, so we can only come here.

If possible, it is best to keep these people under close watch and not let them out. If they do come out, just kill them. After all, if they flee for fear of crime, they deserve to die, and it is not a big deal. "

Wang Shiyu no longer wanted to care about these trivial matters. She just wanted to live a quiet life with the two of them. Even as for Zhou Qingyun, she no longer wanted to meddle in his affairs. No matter how powerful Zhou Qingyun was, he was still under pressure from his grandfather, so there was no way for him to replace him directly. Even if he ascended the throne to become the emperor, he would be surrounded by wolves, and he would have no time to rest. If it really didn't work, Wang Shiyu still had some food in her space that she had saved up before the space was upgraded. When the time came, she would see which lord she liked and would give some support to him.

Although the princes in various places now all seem to be relatively honest, in fact they are already ready to make a move. The time of food shortage has passed, and now is probably the time for these people to show their fangs. Zhou Qingyun can only be quiet for a while. If he waits any longer, there will be trouble.

"Okay, forget about that for now. Have you asked the farm to plant the seeds I gave you before?

There are some rice seeds that can be planted three times a year. Although I don’t know how to plant them, I still remember the general idea. Although the taste of three-season rice is not very good, who would dislike it if there is food to eat?

Also, plant the sweet potatoes and potatoes that have already sprouted. These are the most important food crops during this period. Not only are they high in yield, but they also provide a strong sense of fullness."

They got married in May, but now three months have passed and it is already August. Fortunately, the temperature in Jizhou City is relatively high, so even if they plant now, they can still have a harvest, not to mention that they have planted more than a month in advance. Wang Shiyu even roasted the sweet potatoes before, and they tasted quite good. After Yu Xiuming knew the yield of this thing, he felt sorry for them eating it. After all, if they can plant more, the yield will be higher. Even the City Lord Yu has taken it seriously. After all, the yield of this thing is so high that he asked him to plant it directly with the farmers. He didn't plant anything else in his own land except sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Even the winter here comes relatively late, and the growing cycle of these crops is about 3 to 4 months, which is just in time to be harvested when the weather gets cold. City Lord Yu didn't even stay in the City Lord's Mansion, but went straight to live on the farm with the farmers. He was worried about something going wrong, after all, it was his first time planting.

Yu Xiuming certainly knew the importance of these seeds, and he arranged for farmers to plant them early on. He did not follow his father's example and move directly to the farm, but he arranged for someone to look after it.

“Of course we have arranged for people to plant them, and we have hired skilled farmers to do the planting. We will be able to harvest in two months, but is the yield of these things really that high?

If the output of the sweet potatoes and potatoes you mentioned is really that high, then the people of Jizhou City can be considered blessed.

You know, even under Dad’s rule, there are still many people who can’t get enough food, let alone have enough to eat every day. Dad’s hair has turned white because of these people. After all, the land is not fertile enough, and the food grown is not much. After deducting the food for taxes, even if the remaining food is replaced with coarse grains, it is still not enough to support the family’s food for a year.”

Yu Xiuming also attached great importance to these grains. After all, this thing can not only benefit the people, but also completely get rid of hunger in the world.

It could even allow the Dazhou Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment from then on. After all, for the common people, it didn't matter much to them who became the emperor. All they could do was to have three meals a day and a warm place to live, which was their lifelong pursuit.

The seeds that Wang Shiyu took out were the bargaining chips, or capital, that could allow the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment from now on. Even his father didn't go home anymore and lived on the farm every day. When he had nothing to do, he would go to the field and sit and look at the sweet potato vines. Wang Shiyu even said that the young leaves of the sweet potato vines could be fried and eaten, and the larger leaves could be pulled off and used to feed pigs. In this way, sweet potato leaves were used to stir-fry dishes or stew soup every day on the farm.

Except for the leaves that promote photosynthesis, nothing else was wasted. Even the fallen leaves and leftover dirty water were dug up by City Lord Yu to make fertilizer. Ever since he knew that the fallen leaves and leftover dirty water could be made into fertilizer, he began to collect these things on a large scale. He dug pits, made pools with cement, and started making fertilizer directly.

This will also make the roadsides cleaner, and the leftover food and tea will have better uses, making the entire Jizhou city much cleaner.

To ensure that the people have enough food to eat was Yu Xiuming's biggest pursuit when he was young. After all, being able to ensure that the people have enough food and clothing is a very meritorious thing. When he was young, he even saw his father almost turning gray with worry because of the people in Jizhou City. How could he not want to share his father's worries?

At the same time, he also understood why Wang Shiyu had never taken out these things before. If used well, they would be a powerful weapon for the country, but if used poorly, it would be easy to start a war. In fact, if Grandpa Wang had not been so suicidal, Wang Shiyu would have taken out these things directly and let Grandpa Wang return to Jinling City openly to face his biased father and regret it. As a result, his father turned against him as soon as he arrived at Qiongdao.

And with such a great contribution, if he returned to Jinling City, not to mention the emperor, even the regent would have to treat Grandpa Wang with great care and kindness, not to mention that they would not dare to make him angry. He would probably have to be coaxed well. But all of this was ruined by Grandpa Wang himself, and he brought it upon himself. He was like someone who lost himself while gaining sesame seeds. It was very funny.

"Also, I specially selected three kinds of fields to grow these crops. One is the best farmland, another is the ordinary middle field, and I specially selected a piece of inferior sandy field to plant the grain seeds you gave me. Especially the watermelon seeds you gave me, I specially selected a piece of sandy field to plant them.

Isn't it said that watermelons grown in sand fields are sweeter? The watermelon vines have grown a lot, and small tender melons have already grown. I think they will be ready to eat in a few days. However, there has been little rain in Jizhou City recently, so we can only rely on manual watering."

When Yu Xiuming thought of the fertile farmland, he told Wang Shiyu directly that the location of the melon field was specially chosen. My roommate deliberately asked him to find that place. It would be a waste of manpower to grow crops there. It would be better to open up a new field in the mountains, so that more food can be produced.

He chose the fields deliberately because he wanted to see how much harvest these crops could yield in each field.
