Female-to-male: I live on farming

When Li Nanqiao heard that Lu Youqing was going to Xihai County and that it would be very dangerous, she insisted on going with him no matter what. After settling her mother, she began to pack her luggage for the trip to Xihai County.

Li Nanqiao's mother lived in the east wing of the courtyard that the princess allocated to Qin Ke and his family. After learning that they had no servants, the princess thoughtfully sent some servants to serve them.

After all, such a large courtyard would be difficult to maintain cleanliness and order by themselves without the help of servants. These servants have their own duties, some are responsible for cleaning the courtyard and cleaning the rooms; some are responsible for cooking and serving tea...

Qin Ke rarely enjoyed the luxurious treatment of a noble. Not to mention, every morning when he woke up, all matters were arranged for him and he only had to get up on time.

On the second day after they returned from the meeting at the Princess's Mansion, Xiao Anyi came with the guards. Lu Youqing knew that the matter was urgent, so he did not delay any longer.

A lot of the luggage they brought from Qinghe Village was not packed, so they just took it with them.

On the day of departure, Lu Youqing changed into a neat dark suit. In the past, she mostly wore light-colored clothes and seldom wore such solemn colors. The suit was well-cut, with simple and smooth lines, outlining her tall and slender figure. Her originally graceful temperament was hidden, replaced by a kind of coldness and majesty.

Now, her aura is even more powerful, and she is intimidating without even getting angry. She is very different from the destitute woman who curled up in the corner with a suicidal mind back then.

In addition to Qin Ke, even the eldest princess and Gu Lanxi came to the city gate to see her off.

"Take my warrant. If anything happens, you can execute first and report later." The princess did not say much, but just these words gave Lu Youqing great confidence.

Qin Ke originally wanted to send Lei Zhong to Lu Youqing, but Lu Youqing refused because she had 500 guards behind her and her personal safety was not threatened. If she took Lei Zhong with her, Qin Ke would have even fewer people around her who were familiar with him.

Before they set off, they had already wished to spend every night together, and Lu Youqing no longer restricted Qin Ke's requests for sex. However, Qin Ke was not the kind of man who thought with his lower body. It would take two or three days to travel day and night from Cangwu City, the southernmost part of Liangzhou. Although he was reluctant to leave her, he would not ignore her health.

The night before leaving, the night sky was dotted with twinkling stars. Qin Ke just hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. He couldn't help thinking: If only they had a mobile phone, they could always keep in touch with each other even if they were separated by distance.

The parting scenes are all silent.

Qin Ke watched Lu Youqing climb onto the horse, his figure gradually blending into the mist until it disappeared from his sight. Only then did he reluctantly take Han Qi and others back to the city.

Qin Ke, who became a lonely family member left behind, devoted all his energy to official duties. He went out early and came back late every day, trying to keep himself busy so that he could suppress his longing for his wife.

He first took people to inspect the land given to him by the princess. After making reasonable plans, he began to arrange people to cultivate the land.

Before the New Year, when potatoes, tomatoes and peppers were harvested, his task points had already been credited to his account, a total of thirty points. Adding the two points left from buying antipyretic drugs and condoms, his system points balance totaled thirty-two points before he set out for Liangzhou.

I just exchanged the coal processing instructions a few days ago, and now I only have thirty points left.

More than half of the 20 acres of potatoes planted before were used for seed preservation. He planned to distribute them to the lower areas for planting. Sweet potatoes, which have the same high yield as potatoes, will be his next focus of cultivation.

Sweet potatoes prefer warmth and light but are not resistant to frost. This is why Qin Ke did not plant them in Qinghe Village after the autumn harvest. However, sweet potatoes are high-yielding and highly adaptable. In addition to fruits, their roots, stems and leaves can also be used as excellent feed.

It is too early to say these things now. Qin Ke exchanged sweet potato seeds and planting methods; in addition, he also planned to plant cotton. He spent a winter in the Dayan Dynasty and deeply experienced the hardships of ordinary people.

Nowadays, the most common choice of clothing for keeping warm in winter is linen made of plant fiber. If it is even colder, they will fill it with catkins, straw, etc. to keep warm. Only the rich and powerful will use silk, but the warmest thing is animal fur. In the past, when Qin Ke and Lu Youqing spent the winter, they mostly wore silk, and then wrapped themselves in fur coats and deerskin boots.

But this is an extremely luxurious thing.

Therefore, the introduction of cotton and large-scale planting is imminent.

These are two things that are indispensable to ordinary people's lives. After solving the problem of food and clothing, the next thing to consider is enjoyment, so Qin Ke also exchanged cumin seeds.

Cumin and chili pepper are Qin Ke's two favorite condiments, but they are just condiments. Like chili pepper, Qin Ke has no intention of spreading the crop of cumin. Moreover, it does not require large-scale cultivation and his own fields can fully support it.

Therefore, the initial planting plan for the farmland is: 20 acres of sweet potatoes, 20 acres of cotton, and 20 acres of cumin. The remaining land is divided into three parts, planting tomatoes, watermelons, and peppers respectively. However, the areas of tomatoes and watermelons are larger. Oh, by the way, there are still some rice seeds left that were bought from the system before, and they are all planted.

He had already reserved seeds for watermelon, tomatoes and peppers.

However, when Qin Ke asked Lei Zhong to arrange people to plow the land, he found that the plows used by the people nowadays were all long straight-beam plows. This type of plow was not flexible enough to turn around when plowing the land, and it was difficult to dig up the soil, resulting in low efficiency.

When he first started farming in Qinghe Village, his family was very poor and the only farm tool they had was the simplest hoe. Now, seeing this long straight-beam plow, he had the impression that there were more efficient plows, so he clicked on the system mall to have a look, and indeed, he found the design drawings of the curved-beam plow.

The curved-beam plow is based on the long straight-beam plow, but the plow frame is smaller and lighter. The plow body can swing to adjust the depth of plowing, which is convenient for turning and is light and flexible.

In the past, the long straight-beam plow needed to be pulled by two oxen, but the curved-beam plow only needed one ox. Because it occupies less space, it is particularly suitable for farming in the paddy fields of the south of the Yangtze River.

Qin Ke did not hesitate and directly handed over the design drawing of the curved plow. In fact, although the points spent on the design of this kind of agricultural tool are the same as those of crop seeds, there will also be a reward of 10 points after successful production according to the drawing. This way of earning points is much faster than planting.

Planting requires sowing, watering, and waiting for germination and maturity, which takes at least several months or half a year.

However, according to Qin Ke's current observations, not everything has bonus points. Most of the design drawings that the system rewards points for are those weapons that benefit the country and the people.
