Zheng Sisi looked at the guards carrying the supplies and said to Captain Liu, "Put the seeds in my room and set up the tent in the front yard."

Captain Liu: "Okay, girl."

The third prince asked, "Miss Zheng, how do you plan to arrange these seeds? What do you need me to do?"

Zheng Sisi: "Come on, go in and sit down and I'll tell you."

The two of them entered the reception room, and a maid brought them two cups of tea.

Zheng Sisi took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve pocket and handed them to the third prince.

The third prince took it and looked down at it. The more he looked, the more serious his expression became. "You plan to plant two crops of rice. Is it in time?"

Zheng Sisi: "I'm afraid we won't have enough time, so I asked you to prepare the tent cloth. It takes about 110 to 120 days from rice germination to harvest. That's almost four months."

The third prince said: "Two seasons take eight months, and when it's cold it's not good for crops to grow. They will freeze to death."

Zheng Sisi: "Listen to me first. While we are ploughing the land, I will germinate the seeds. After a few days, they will be sown in the field and covered with tent cloth to keep the temperature, just like when we grow vegetables in the back garden. When the seedlings grow two inches long, we will not need the tent cloth. The temperature will be higher at that time. When the seedlings grow to four to five inches long, we will transplant them to the paddy field and they can grow steadily.

The same method is used to raise seedlings in the second season when the rice is heading. At this time, the temperature is very high and there is no need for tent cloth. When the rice of the first season is harvested, the land can be turned over immediately for the second season of rice planting. This saves a lot of time and does not cause the crops to freeze to death.

And there are successful examples of planting in my master's manuscript. So I want to give it a try, too. If successful, it can solve the problem of hunger among the people of the world."

After Zheng Sisi finished speaking, she blinked her big eyes and looked at the third prince.

The third prince looked at Zheng Sisi seriously. He didn't expect this girl to be so courageous. Looking at her thin and small body, he always felt that something had changed and he couldn't tell what it was. This little body had the people of the world in its heart, and he should be in awe of her.

The Third Prince thought for a while and said, "You have made your decision. We will face it together."

Zheng Sisi smiled, sunny and bright: "Okay, I knew you would support me.

I'll have a meeting with them this afternoon to arrange the work and prepare some things. I've also brought some sweet potatoes and potatoes, so we can plant them now."

When Zheng Sisi was preparing the seeds, she smuggled some out from the space so that others would not know the exact amount. She selected the ones that had germinated in the darkroom and brought them to the farm, and put the ones in the space back in the darkroom to continue germinating.

Zheng Sisi also secretly liked her own little trick.

The Third Prince: "Okay, there are many people on the farm, we can divide the work."

Zheng Sisi: "Yeah, I think so too."

The third prince looked through the paper below and asked, "What is this bamboo stick used for?"

Zheng Sisi: "Cut bamboo into sticks of the same length and stick them in the fields to support the tent cloth and keep it warm. Is there a bamboo forest here?"

The Third Prince: "I don't know either. You should ask Sun Zhuangtou. Do you want to go and see the bamboo?"

Zheng Sisi: "No, I want to go dig bamboo shoots."

The third prince was puzzled: "Why are you digging bamboo shoots?"

Zheng Sisi: "Eat it. Don't tell me you have never eaten bamboo shoots."

The third prince shook his head.

Zheng Sisi suddenly remembered that when she was in the village, people there said bamboo shoots were bitter and numbing, and no one ate them.

Zheng Sisi: "In fact, bamboo shoots are very delicious as long as they are handled well."

The third prince nodded. He was also convinced because all the dishes cooked by Zheng Sisi were always delicious.
