Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

"Miss Xu, you have made another great contribution."

"Achieve merit? What merit have I achieved?" Xu Jinyu pretended to be confused.

My heart was screaming with excitement.

[Ahhh! If we catch him, we'll have money for disaster relief.]

[Gold mines belong to the country and cannot be mined privately.]

[I don’t understand other things, but I do know one thing: the country needs sufficient gold reserves.]

Xu Jinyu estimated that Bai Wenyu's illegal gold mining had been discovered, but the procedures still had to be followed.

Xu Jinyu performed with full energy.

She didn't know that the prince opposite her was also cooperating with her in the performance.

Sufficient gold reserves? What does this mean, the prince wondered.

He was still answering Xu Jinyu's question.

"Your distant great aunt was not found, but a gold mine that was mined illegally was found. Your great aunt was either arrested and forced to work in the mine or she was silenced."

“It’s not going to be good.”

Xu Jinyu pinched herself hard, using the ancient clothes to cover her eyes, and tears suddenly came out.

"My aunt is so miserable. How could she encounter such a thing?"

But in my heart I was wailing: [It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! It hurts so much, I really can’t cry. ]

[In ancient times, those who cried for a month after the death of an emperor or empress were all talented people! ]

[After crying for a month, your eyes will look like this, puffy eyelids or goldfish eyes.]

Seeing that Xu Jinyu didn't know where to go, Zi Shuyan coughed and said, "Miss Xu, the matter of the gold mine is a serious matter, you must not let it slip."

"Don't worry, my mouth is still tight."

【College students keep their promises and will never leak secrets.】

Zi Shuyan was helpless. Let's not talk about whether your mouth is tight or not, but your inner voice is like a big sieve that can let everything out.

It has now been confirmed that all the officials in Xizhou are in collusion with each other. If the news leaks out accidentally, Zi Shuyan believes that Bai Wenyu will not mind assassinating him again.

He brought a lot of guards with him to Xizhou, but they were nothing compared to the garrison troops in Xizhou.

"Miss Xu,"

Zi Shuyan said sternly: "Don't even think about it. If anyone finds out that something is wrong, everyone including me, the Crown Prince, will be silenced."

"It's so serious." Xu Jinyu was a little dumbfounded.

Xu Jinyu muttered in his heart, "Is he afraid that I will show something on my face?"

Zi Shuyan thought to himself, I'm not afraid of you showing anything on your face, I'm afraid of you revealing everything in your heart.

After all, it is still unclear who can hear her thoughts and who cannot.

Zi Shuyan could only warn Xu Jinyu: "It's very serious. I have sent people back to ask my father to send troops. It will be fine when the troops from the capital arrive. Before that, you can't say anything or think about it."

Xu Jinyu nodded frantically. The army had been dispatched, so the matter must be serious.

"Also, we can't just sit there and do nothing before the army arrives. We need to continue disaster relief. Miss Xu, you come from a farming family. Do you know any solutions to drought?"

Xu Jinyu was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect the prince to ask her this question.

Zi Shuyan looked at Xu Jinyu hopefully, hoping that her China would have some way to deal with the disaster.

“Let me think about it.”

Xu Jinyu lowered his head and tried hard to recall in his mind how China had dealt with the drought.

[In order to solve the problem of drought in the north, China's biggest project is the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which can solve the problem of drought in the north and flooding in the south. ]

[But this project is too big, and without modern machinery, this project could bring down the country.]

When Zi Shuyan heard Xu Jinyu's voice, his heart began to beat uncontrollably. "Water Diversion from South to North" means to transfer water from the South to the North.

How powerful must a country be to be able to accomplish this project? Does Miss Xu live in this country?

Zi Shuyan wanted to calmly ask Xu Jinyu what the country she lived in was like, but Xu Jinyu started to express her feelings again.

[This doesn't work. Let me think of something that can work, artificial rainfall.]

Zi Shuyan froze again, his heart beating faster. Artificial rainfall, the meaning was easy to understand, people could control when it would rain.

Xu Jinyu glanced at the cloudless sky and shook his head.

[That won't work. To make artificial rainfall, there must be clouds. It's impossible to make artificial rainfall in a cloudless sky.]

Zi Shuyan leaned back in his chair, breathing heavily, and continued to listen to Xu Jinyu's thoughts.

[The only methods used in modern society to combat drought are building water conservancy projects and selecting drought-resistant varieties of crops. These two methods were available in ancient times.]

[This is mentioned in history books and social science books, but how to solve it specifically? I don't know if Xizhou has the money to build water conservancy projects. As for drought-resistant seeds? ]

Suddenly Xu Jinyu screamed excitedly,

[Oh right! How could I forget my golden finger! ]

Xu Jinyu suddenly remembered his simplified version of Taobao. If he could buy antipyretic drugs there, there was no reason why he couldn't buy drought-resistant seeds.

Next, Xu Jinyu buried his head and started flipping through his golden finger.

Zi Shuyan's worry, which had just been put to rest, was raised again. Xizhou belongs to the north, and the crops grown there are generally wheat, sorghum, soybeans and the like.

There are really no seeds among these that are particularly drought-resistant, and they will all fail if a drought occurs.

[Cassava has a very high yield, with the highest yield reaching six tons, or 12,000 kilograms.]

[Unfortunately, cassava is not suitable for the north, but for the warm climate in the south, and its taste is not very good, which is why China has not promoted it on a large scale. ]

[Also, cassava takes too long to grow, 300 days, and is not durable in storage. It goes bad within three to seven days after being dug out, and must be immediately ground into powder or dried slices, which is not suitable for Xizhou.]

"Wow!"

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

A series of voices frightened Xu Jinyu so much that he raised his head suddenly.

Looking at the fallen table, Xu Jinyu asked blankly, "What happened? Why did you suddenly kick the table over?"

Zi Shuyan's face turned red. He glanced at the table that he had kicked over and tried hard to control his breathing so that Xu Jinyu would not notice anything unusual.

What's wrong? I was shocked by the cassava yield.

A yield of 12,000 kilograms!

Zi Shuyan's hands and feet were trembling under his clothes. Is this output real?

How could she bear to complain about the bad taste of cassava?

It is also not resistant to storage. As long as it can be grown, these people can eat it on the same day.

You should know that the wheat yield in Xizhou is only more than 200 kilograms per mu, which is a fraction of that of cassava.

Glancing at Cao Kuan standing in front of Zi Shuyan, Xu Jinyu asked, "Is there any bad news?"

Zi Shuyan and Cao Kuan both let out their breaths and gasped for air.

I hope Miss Xu has the wrong idea.

Zi Shuyan felt dizzy. He was excited, not angry, but he still pretended to be angry.

"There is news that cannibalism has begun in other places."

"What! Cannibalism!"

It has become so serious. Xu Jinyu has only read about cannibalism in history books.
