Then Zheng Sisi introduced to everyone the high-yield grain varieties she brought, including sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, double-season rice, and some vegetable varieties.

In the entire threshing ground, everyone was dumbfounded except for a few people she brought with her who were close to her.

They listened to what the boss had just heard, but they didn't understand, because they had never seen or heard of the crops that were mentioned.

Zheng Sisi also knew that they didn't understand, so she just emphasized one point: all crops must be planted according to her requirements. No matter what the results were, she would ensure that everyone's usual 40% of the grain harvest remained unchanged.

With this guarantee, everyone can rest assured that no matter what the outcome, they will not go hungry.

Because the specific implementation requires hands-on instruction, Zheng Sisi simply told Sun Zhuangtou what tasks everyone should do and what supplies they should prepare. She handed the list to Sun Zhuangtou and asked him to prepare according to what was written on it. The work on the paddy fields and dry land should be carried out at the same time, and they can start today, and deep plowing will be required.

After reading the list, Sun Zhuangtou went to make the division of labor and arrangements. Zheng Sisi and the others returned to the yard early.

Zheng Sisi planned to soak the rice to germinate today. Because it takes four or five days for rice sprouts to grow, and six or seven days if the time is slow, the rice seedling field should be ready.

I asked Aunt Liu to bring two large wooden barrels, and asked for two large barrels of hot water, and then waited for the hot water to cool before using warm water to soak the rice seeds. I also asked her to find a few baskets and a few old quilts, which would be useful later.

The secretary who came with them this time was named Xia. Zheng Sisi found him and told him about the planting of two crops of rice. She asked him to follow the whole process and keep records for future promotion.

Xia Sicheng was confused. How could one grow two crops of rice? The Dai Viet Kingdom had never heard of growing two crops of rice, and neither did other countries.

Seeing his look of disbelief, Zheng Sisi kindly explained to him and repeated what she had said to the third prince.

Xia Sicheng still felt like he was dreaming after hearing this. Miss Zheng must be a fairy. If she can grow two crops of rice, it will be a miracle. They will be witnesses of the miracle. It's all a beautiful dream. I hope Miss Zheng can succeed.

After the water temperature was right, Zheng Sisi poured the rice into the warm water and stirred it with her hands to make sure that the rice was evenly soaked. It took two hours to soak the rice, so that the rice could drink enough water. There was no need to watch over it all the time, so Zheng Sisi planned to go and see the condition of their farmland.

The soaked rice seeds were handed over to Captain Liu to guard, and she and the third prince left the yard with a few followers.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, I saw that some people were already plowing the fields near the river. A road was built some distance between the fields, which should be convenient for transporting grain.

They could still walk around confidently on the main road, but they were very careful when entering the small paths in the fields, for fear of falling into the fields if they didn't walk carefully.

Zheng Sisi lifted up the hem of her skirt, secretly annoyed that she came out without changing into a short jacket, which was not convenient at all.

The people who farm the fields are all men, and they work on several plots of land at the same time.

Zheng Sisi saw them tilling the fields and asked, "Do you have fertilizer prepared for the fields?"

Someone answered: "Yes, turn the soil over once and then apply fertilizer. The second time will just cover the fertilizer without burying it too deep."

Zheng Sisi nodded and watched them work seriously. After watching for a while, she felt that the efficiency was not good, mainly because the farming tools were too outdated.

Before modern mechanization, farming in rural areas was done with cattle and manpower. At that time, Zheng Sisi followed her grandparents to work in the fields and was very familiar with some farm tools and supplies.

There are many farm tools on the second floor of the space. I thought about drawing the blueprints and asking the third prince to make some new farm tools to increase everyone's work efficiency.

Zheng Sisi thought this idea could be put into practice.

After watching the plowing for a while, she decided to go into the field to take a look. She asked someone to point out a direction, and several people slowly moved their positions and walked towards the digging formation.
