"Here comes the fruit!"

A group of people have finished eating. The younger ones are slumped in their chairs, while the elders are walking slowly to digest their food.

The fruits are here. You can eat some now and relax while you're at it.

"Girl Su, the food in your house is so delicious. I don't want to leave."

"Wang Wang~"

"Isn't it Wangcai? You think so too, right?" The emperor stroked Wangcai's fur.

"Wang Wang~"

"You are so smart, Wangcai."

Others took the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes.

Ji Shiyan and Su Mu were both lying in rocking chairs to rest.

"After eating, it's so comfortable to lie down and rest!" Su Mu lay lazily in the rocking chair.

"Yes!"

After eating delicious food, lying down and enjoying the breeze, it is a comfortable life.

"How's the curved plow?"

I thought of the curved plow that Ji Shiyan had pulled for me.

"It's on sale now. The one I brought you is the first batch."

Ji Shiyan rocked the recliner like Su Mu.

This recliner is very interesting. It is very comfortable to lie on and it can rock.

"The price of a curved plow is about one tael of silver."

Su Mu thought for a moment and said, "This price is not bad."

The production of curved-beam plows is not high nowadays. They are much cheaper than windmills, and curved-beam plows also require iron.

If it weren't for the promotion of the curved plow, the price might have been higher.

Anyway, I didn't take out the curved plow for the purpose of making money.

"It would be great if everyone could use the curved plow."

Ji Shiyan looked up at the sky and said, "I think so too. If the people can all use the curved plow, their lives will be much better."

The curved plow saves a lot of time and effort in plowing the land in the experimental field. Steering plowing and adjusting the depth of land cultivation are very convenient and quick.

Farming becomes faster, and people will have time to plant a few more acres of land. More land can fill their stomachs and feed more people.

Su Mu looked at Ji Shiyan like this. This was different from the Ji Shiyan he had seen before. At this moment, he was very calm and steady, and his whole body exuded a deep temperament.

"Are we talking about corn?" Ji Shiyan suddenly turned around and looked at her with a smile, returning to the familiar look she had, a somewhat wanton look.

"What is the corn talking about?"

"That corn has a high yield, can I sell the seeds?"

"Yes, corn has many uses."

"Can I know more about it?" Ji Shiyan slightly turned his body to face Su Mu.

"Then let me explain it to you in detail."

"Okay." Ji Shiyan listened attentively.

“Corn is more of a cash crop than a food.”

"It can provide raw materials for many industries and has strong added value."

"Do you know cash crops and added value?" Su Mu asked considerately. Economy is a very modern word. If you don't know it, please explain it.

Ji Shiyan nodded, "I think I can understand that the mainstream understanding of economy now is to govern the country and save the people. It probably means that corn can be used to make more things, and people will buy and consume it, which will drive the country to a better place."

"Yes, that's probably what it means."

Ji Shiyan is very smart!

"The economy I'm talking about is also the sum of the things produced, the circulation, exchange, and production of goods, and the consumption of the people, which is a cycle."

As expected of Ji Shiyan, I can understand him after just a few words from him.

"For example, cotton is a cash crop. It cannot be eaten, but it can be woven into cloth, made into cotton clothes and quilts, and people then buy these items."

"Corn can be said to be a very powerful cash crop, and it has greater added value."

"So what are the specific added values?" Ji Shiyan was very studious.

I don't know when a group of people stood behind them and listened to their conversation attentively.

"Go on, Su girl." The emperor was listening seriously when he suddenly saw Su Mu looking back at him.

"Oh, okay."

"The whole corn can be used, so nothing is wasted."

"First, as for food, fresh corn that has just grown is a kind of food that can be made into various delicacies. You all ate it."

Everyone nodded.

"Mature corn flour can also be ground into steamed bread similar to steamed bread, and can be used to make snacks such as popcorn."

"The corn silk on the corn is also a traditional Chinese medicine."

"The second point is also very useful. It can be used as fodder for livestock, such as horses and pigs. Corn stalks, corn kernels, and corn cobs can all be used as fodder, and it is better for livestock than feeding other things."

Ji Shiyan and the Emperor thought more about this benefit. If corn could be used to raise horses better, the number of war horses in the army could be expanded, and expenses could be saved.

Ji Shiyan looked at his great grandfather, who nodded.

“Is this good for feeding horses?”

Su Mu looked at Ji Shiyan with a questioning look on his face. "Ah? Yes. Horses will get hungry after eating grass for a while. If they eat grass for a long time, they won't grow strong enough. They must eat grains, but it's very expensive to feed them soybeans and millet for a long time."

"In this case, corn is a good choice. It has a high yield and is definitely cheaper than millet. If you want to keep your horse well, choose corn kernels mixed with some bran or chaff. You can also feed some corn stalks and hay."

Both of them nodded, looking serious and thoughtful.

Indeed, as Su Mu said, horses fed with grass will not grow strong. It is very expensive to raise a strong horse by eating grains.

"Then I'll continue?" Su Mu looked at the two people and wondered why they looked so serious. What was he talking about?

Wouldn't it be better to raise pigs and chickens by using corn stalks to produce more meat?

If you raise a horse, won't the horse be strong? Wait, raise a horse, and the horse will be strong? Su Mu's eyes gradually widened as he looked at the two of them.

Forget it, just pretend that you know nothing.

"Corn can be used to make corn starch, which can be used as a raw material for food."

In fact, corn starch can also be used in the medical industry, toilet paper and the like. Here it is used as food.

"You can also press corn oil and make distilled liquor."

"Okay, I said I forgot."

Why is the atmosphere so depressing? What are these two people thinking about?

Su Mu secretly glanced at the two of them.

Then got caught peeking.

Su Mu immediately pretended not to see it.

Ji Shiyan couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, I won't do anything against the law."

"Oh."

Su Mu was relieved, thinking that this man was going to do something big, but he was really scared.

The emperor also felt that the two of them were thinking too much, and his face became very solemn. "Don't worry, Miss Su, we are all good people."

"Girl Su, tell you, I used to be a great general. But now I am old."

What I said was true. I used to be a general.

"Ah! Grandpa Ji, you used to be a general!"

"Brother Ji! You are the general!"

Seeing the shocked faces of the few people, the emperor was also proud, "Yes! I used to be a general who led tens of thousands of troops. I defeated all the enemies in the world and was extremely brave."
