In mid-September, the potatoes that Ruan Qingqing had kept for seed had sprouted. She led Aunt Wang and others to carefully cut the potatoes and wrap them in wood ash for later use.

She was cutting the potatoes and distributing them to everyone in the village. Whoever planned to plant a certain number of acres of land would get the sprouted potatoes corresponding to that number of acres.

"Qingqing, can potatoes really produce 2,000 kilograms per mu? We have never planted potatoes in autumn!"

The villagers who came to get the potato seeds were all unsure. Although they knew rationally that it was right to trust Ruan Qingqing, they felt uneasy and uneasy about doing something they had never done before and never dared to think about.

"Don't worry! I have done several experiments. I have planted autumn potatoes for several seasons, and the yield was over 2,000 kilograms. As long as the uncles and aunts work hard and do what I say, you will be right!" Ruan Qingqing hurried to reassure everyone.

"We feel more at ease now with Qingqing's words!"

"That's right!" Everyone responded in unison.

"Speaking of potatoes, what should we plant after the autumn harvest? The tax is getting heavier every year. If we don't think of a solution, we really won't be able to survive."

"Why not plant some sweet potatoes? This year, everyone has used too much land. Why not plant some green manure in the fall and winter to give the land a break and make it more fertile next year?"

On dry land, mix radish with appropriate amounts of astragalus, rapeseed and other seeds and sow them together. Ten days before the late rice is harvested, plant sweet potatoes in the fields.

Ruan Qingqing thought for a moment and said.

"What about wheat?"

"Let's change the land! Plant green manure on the land that was previously planted with wheat, and plant wheat on the land that was previously planted with rapeseed. This will ensure a high wheat yield next year."

Ruan Qingqing reminded.

"Okay, we'll listen to Qingqing."

Everyone nodded, and felt more confident because of her words.

At the end of September, Fu Yuanhao led a group of people to Zaoziling to help plant potatoes. Those who came were several officials and their maids and guards.

"Can they do this?"

When the villagers in Zaoziling saw the people coming to help, they couldn't help but feel nervous. They knew at a glance that none of them was good at farming, so how could they help?

After saying hello to Ruan Qingqing and the others, everyone, including Fu Yuanhao, quickly changed into short clothes that were convenient for work.

"This official and the other two officials can do these farm work, there is no reason why you can't do it. Be smart and careful! Now is a special period, food is the most important thing. Anyone who dares to mess with me will be severely punished! Do you hear me!"

"Yes!"

Fu Yuanhao's beating was like a shot of cardiac stimulant, calming the hearts of everyone in Zaozilin.

"Village Chief Li will arrange the work for you. I, Lord Yuan, and Lord Zhao will help Miss Ruan at her home."

"Yes!"

After giving some instructions to Village Chief Li, Fu Yuanhao went to work in the fields with Ruan Qingqing and others.

With the foundation they had from previous farm work and having done it before, planting potatoes was an easy task for Fu Yuanhao and the other two.

At noon, when everyone gathered in the shade to get their food and soup, Yuan Pingzhang walked to another open area under the shade of a tree, carrying a bowl of hot soup and a bowl of rice.

He was not paying attention and his footing slipped, and the bowl, soup and rice were thrown out, and he fell backwards.

Ruan Qingqing happened to be standing nearby at this time, seriously discussing with Fu Yuanhao the new crop varieties she had recently developed.

"Da Ya!"

"Miss!"

Everyone exclaimed.

Ruan Qingqing just looked up when a strong wind suddenly hit her. Her expression changed and she raised her hand to block it. Suddenly, her waist tightened and she flew into the air. When she landed again, she heard a "crash" sound not far away.

Before she could react to what was happening, there was another "bang" sound of porcelain on the ground.

"Yuan Pingzhang, what's wrong with you!" Fu Yuanhao raised his eyebrows and shouted.

"Sorry, I slipped just now." Yuan Pingzhang pulled the corner of his mouth apologetically and patted the dirt off his body.

Ruan Qingqing then looked at the hand that had loosened her waist and immediately understood what was going on.

"Wushang, thank you!"

Wu Shang just nodded at her and disappeared from everyone's sight again.

"Daya! Are you okay?" Ruan Wantie and Wang rushed to Ruan Qingqing one after another and checked Ruan Qingqing carefully from head to toe.

"Dad, Mom, I'm fine. Wushang pulled me away in time and I avoided the soup and the bowl." Ruan Qingqing smiled at them with her eyebrows curved.

"That's good!" They both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Ruan, I'm sorry for what happened just now. I stepped on a stone without paying attention, and my foot slipped, which almost caused a disaster." Yuan Pingzhang limped to Ruan Qingqing to apologize.

"I'm fine, it was just a false alarm. Sir Yuan, please go get another meal!"

Ruan Qingqing didn't take the previous episode to heart.

Ruan Qingqing went to get her food only after everyone had received theirs.

Wang Fang, who was in charge of distributing the food, whispered in her ear, "Miss, that was a close call just now!"

"It's okay, it's just an accident, no one expected it, don't worry."

Even so, Wang Fang couldn't help but give her eldest daughter a few more pieces of meat to calm her down.

Ruan Qingqing didn't refuse and smiled at her.

After dinner, Fu Yuanhao, Yuan Pingzhang and Zhao Zhen all walked towards Ruan Qingqing.

"Is the person who just appeared your bodyguard?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but ask.

"I guess so! What's wrong?"

Ruan Qingqing looked at them in confusion.

"That man is very skilled, even stronger than the leader of our secret guards. I'm afraid his identity is not simple. Miss Ruan, where did you pick up such a treasure?" Fu Yuanhao asked with a smile.

"Yes! Just now I felt a gust of wind passing by, and then you were pulled away by him. The speed was so fast! It was fortunate that he was fast and reacted quickly, otherwise I would feel guilty!" Yuan Pingzhang gently waved the fan in his hand.

"It's okay, it's just an accident. Lord Yuan, you don't have to worry about it all the time. As for Wushang, we picked him up by accident. He was seriously injured before, and he doesn't remember anything except his martial arts."

Ruan Qingqing said briefly.

Fu Yuanhao stared at the place where Wushang disappeared, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Do you want me to help you check his background?" Yuan Pingzhang waved the fan in his hand faster.

"That's not necessary. I will let him go after the war is over. If nothing unexpected happens, we will have nothing to do with each other in the future." Ruan Qingqing declined his kindness.

"Okay, let us know if you need anything. If you're in need of guards, I can get you some."

Ruan Qingqing looked at him with a smile, "Do you think I'm someone who needs a guard?"

Yuan Pingzhang paused while fanning himself. "That's right! You, Ruan Handao, are well-known. Who dares to mess with you?"

"My reputation as Ruan Handao is only known among you!" Ruan Qingqing rolled her eyes.

Yuan Pingzhang just smiled and said nothing.

After some banter, everyone was ready to rest and immediately started working.

Fu Yuanhao and others ate, lived and worked with everyone, and gained a lot of goodwill.

After helping in Zaoziling, they went to several other villages to help.

In this way, everyone finally completed the autumn harvest and planting in time.

However, the rice drying in the yard exuded the fragrance of the sun, and the aroma drifted everywhere, attracting a group of "wolves" with bad intentions!
