Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

The meal prepared by the Xu family was very sumptuous. The Xu family members and the masters such as the Minister of Agriculture sat at one table, and the other servants sat at two other tables in the kitchen.

The servants of the Grand Minister of Agriculture had known this for a long time, so they went to the kitchen to eat immediately when they were told to do so. The servants of the Xu family also did the same. Only Jiang Yiren was a little stubborn and wanted to accompany Jiang Yan.

Old Lady Xu actually wanted to keep him at the table for dinner, but he had a strong sense of master-servant relationship and refused to sit down even when Old Lady Xu asked him to.

Jiang Yan looked at the other Xu family members who were feeling a little uncomfortable, and ordered: "Jiang Yi, go to the kitchen to eat."

"Yes, master." Jiang turned around and left, and the Zhang family members breathed a sigh of relief.

After lunch, Jiang Yan and Da Si Nong were arranged by Xu Ning to rest in a room on the second floor, while Xu Ning returned to his own room.

Xu Ning's room was on the highest floor of the fortress. When she opened the window, she could see the entire valley.

At this time, the rice in the valley has turned yellow, and from a distance it looks like a golden wave.

Autumn is gradually coming to an end, and the wind at noon is a little chilly.

Xu Ning covered himself with a thin blanket, lay down in the rocking chair and closed his eyes.

When going upstairs just now, Jiang Yan looked at her a few times and obviously had something to say, but Xu Ning didn't want to be alone with him, so she found an excuse and went upstairs.

But hiding all the time is not a solution. Xu Ning felt that with Jiang Yan's intelligence, he should have discovered long ago that she was deliberately avoiding him.

As Xu Ning grew older, she found that the people over at the treasure chest were also starting to get anxious. From the more and more frequent meetings she had with Jiang Yan in the past two years, she knew that the treasure chest had a lot to do with all of this.

Ever since the cannibal incident that year, Xu Ning had thought a lot about it. In fact, it was the treasure chest that deliberately pushed her to deal with it from the beginning, and what was even more outrageous was that she was not given any points for this matter.

But no matter how many points she had, if she didn't increase them, they would eventually run out. Fortunately, the good seeds Xu Ning took out from the valley helped her.

Thinking of this, Xu Ning was really grateful to Grandpa Yuan. His efforts not only ensured that the entire Chinese people had enough food to eat, but now also ensured that most of the people in the Daqing Dynasty had enough food to eat.

It’s a pity that what Xu Ning can do is just a drop in the bucket. Even the Grand Minister of Agriculture couldn’t solve the problem after so many years of hard work. How can she achieve that after just a few years of hard work?

After all, human greed is too great, Xu Ning thought. She used to just take care of her family, but now she realizes that only when the country is good can the family be good. Her and Jiang Yan's plan is just beginning, and there is still a long way to go.

As Xu Ning thought about it, he gradually became drowsy.

"Jiang Yi, is Master Xu's study next door?" Jiang Yan asked softly.

"Yes, master, but according to the servants of the Xu family, no one except the Xu family members can enter that room. Just now, a subordinate went there and took a look through the crack in the door. He found that the things placed inside were related to the mechanisms at the gate." Jiang Yi replied respectfully.

Jiang Yan nodded slightly, with a hint of thought in his eyes: "Go down and have a rest. Tell me when you see Miss Xu coming out."

"Yes, sir. I'll take my leave now." Jiang Yi responded and left.

Jiang Yan looked at the flashing lights outside the window thoughtfully. In a blink of an eye, Xu Yuan came to Xu Ning's room, ready to wake her up.

It was almost four in the afternoon, the sun was setting, and the sunlight was shining through the window onto the rocking chair. Xu Ning was still sleeping soundly, her breathing was steady and deep, but there was a hint of fatigue on her face.

Xu Ning had another dream, and this one was not so beautiful either. In the dream, Xu Ning went back to the past, when his family and relatives kept urging him to get married.

Like many girls, she felt a lot of pressure and couldn't understand why everyone thought marriage was a must in life. Even though her parents loved each other and her brother's love life was smooth, she always had reservations about love.

Xu Ning has been skeptical and even a little disdainful of relationships since she was a child. Although people around her advised her to find a good man and get married early, she had no interest in it at all.

At the beginning of her 20s, Xu Ning felt that she was still young and had more important things to pursue, such as career, dreams and personal growth. She did not yearn for marriage and did not want to be bound by it. She wanted to live freely without any constraints.

After she turned 27, Xu Ning had no interest in getting married and having children. She just wanted to be herself, not someone's wife or mother.

However, people in reality always like to meddle in other people's affairs. Whether it is so-called relatives and friends or neighbors and colleagues, they will constantly urge Xu Ning to get married and have children in the name of concern.

This made Xu Ning feel extremely upset and troubled. She understood the good intentions of these people, but they didn't know her true thoughts.

Sometimes, Xu Ning couldn't help thinking that if she had a choice, she would rather stay single and enjoy freedom and independence.

But often this idea is often questioned and opposed by others.

They believe that women should settle down, get married, have children and live a traditional family life when they reach a certain age. This concept makes Xu Ning feel helpless and powerless, so Xu Ning often avoids them and rarely interacts with them.

"Ningning, wake up." Xu Yuan's voice woke Xu Ning from his dream. Xu Ning blocked the sunlight with his hands and slowly recalled everything in his dream.

Xu Ning frowned, feeling a little irritated. She knew that it would not be long before she would be urged to get married again, and it was something she had to go through.

Compared with modern parents, the Xu family may find it even more difficult to accept the idea of ​​Xu Ning never getting married.

Thinking of this, Xu Ning couldn't help but sigh. There is still a long way to go.

"Aunt Yuan, I'm awake. Let's go." Xu Ning rubbed her face. She had made an appointment with the Minister of Agriculture to go to the rice fields together in the afternoon.

When they were in Xianyu Village, Xu Ning had always been reluctant to bring out the improved varieties. The Minister of Agriculture thought that they would never be able to eat hybrid rice in their lifetime. Unexpectedly, Xu Ning actually planted it in the valley.

This was discovered by chance by the Grand Minister of Agriculture. He knew that hybrid rice seeds were unstable, so he asked Xu Ning for other seeds. The yield was not as high as that of hybrid rice, but it was many times better than the local seeds of the Daqing Dynasty.

Xu Ning also sent a lot of hybrid rice seeds to Jiang Yan. Now Jiang Yan's grain reserves are enough for him to support an army to take over the entire Daqing.

However, Jiang Yan did not do so. Instead, he worked with the Minister of Agriculture to continue cultivating these different varieties, striving to cultivate seeds with higher yields in the Daqing Dynasty.

At the same time, the extra grain was sold at low prices to those people who were starving.

"Xu Ning, here, I'm here!" The Minister of Agriculture saw Xu Ning and Xu Yuan from afar on the ridge of the field, jumped up happily and waved to her.

Xu Ning looked at him with a naughty look and laughed, "Come on, come on, stop dancing, I see you."

"Xu Ning, let me tell you, I estimate that I can produce another 100 kilograms this time. It seems that the seeds this time are the best so far." Before Xu Ning got close enough, the Minister of Agriculture began to tell Xu Ning about his discovery.

"Lao Qin, all these chicken, duck and goose manures of mine are fermented. Don't you think that effort is important? Look at how strong these rice seedlings are. It's obvious that there is more organic fertilizer."

When Jiang Yan walked over, he happened to see Xu Ning and the Minister of Agriculture squatting on the ridge of the field studying the rice seedlings.
