I traveled through time and space and became the favorite of Her Royal Highness the Princess

After Mu Lingshuang finished speaking, she turned her head away and lay down with her clothes on, as if she didn't want to look at her anymore.

Fang Yuanqi stared at the princess's back with a sad face. After a long time, he realized that he was still a big fool. He quickly said in a low voice:

"Princess, could you please untie me first? It's too uncomfortable to be tied up like this."

Mu Lingshuang heard her voice and said calmly:

"For my safety, you should stay tied up."

Fang Yuanqi: "..."

Her Royal Highness the Princess was too kind to her. Based on those two bangs she had used before, she didn't think she could be a threat to the other party.

Unfortunately, when you live under someone else's roof, whatever they say is the truth.

Fang Yuanqi, whose request was rejected, had to spend a not-so-pleasant night lying on the ground.

Then before dawn, Fang Yuanqi was picked up, washed and thrown into the carriage.

On the way to the palace with Mu Lingshuang, Fang Yuanqi was nervous and terrified, fearing that he would lose his life if he was not careful.

At the same time, her mind was working fast, thinking about how to convince the Emperor of Qi to marry his precious daughter to her.

I can't convince myself, and I'm still going to die. I'm so miserable, wuwuwu...

Mu Lingshuang kept her eyes closed to rest the whole way, but even without opening her eyes she could sense the commotion on the opposite side.

Noticing the gaze falling on her, Mu Lingshuang suddenly opened her eyes. Her sharp gaze frightened Fang Yuanqi so much that he shrank back into the corner again.

Wow, my future wife is so scary, she is so scared!

"Instead of wasting time thinking about random things, you might as well think about how to convince father later." Mu Lingshuang glanced at her and spoke lightly.

How to convince her? Fang Yuanqi was stunned. Yes, she was also a person with a system, but she didn't know if farming in Qi State could be considered a specialty.

Fang Yuanqi took a look at the cotton seedlings growing well in the space, and instantly had a new idea.

In this era when people's basic needs for food and clothing are still unresolved, what could attract the rulers' attention more than ensuring that the people have enough food and clothing?

When it comes to having a full meal, Fang Yuanqi first thinks of potatoes which can be stewed, fried, steamed or boiled.

You should know that among agricultural products, potatoes are definitely considered high-yielding, and one acre of land can yield at least three to five thousand kilograms.

She didn't know how big a difference there was between the soil in ancient times and the soil in modern times, but she thought that even if the soil was not so fertile, there would always be a yield of one or two thousand kilograms per mu. She just didn't know what crops they planted and what the yield was?

"Princess, I want to know what the people are planting in their fields now?" Fang Yuanqi, who had a plan in mind, looked at Mu Lingshuang and asked eagerly.

What do the common people grow in their fields? It seems she is still a young lady from a wealthy family who doesn’t know the difference between grains. Mu Lingshuang’s mind kept flashing through her thoughts, but her face remained expressionless.

"Rice, millet, sorghum, wheat, beans, and hemp, what's wrong?"

"What about the output?" Fang Yuanqi asked quickly.

"The yield per mu is about 300 kilograms, but in some poor counties, the yield per mu is only 180 kilograms." Mu Lingshuang's eyes dimmed when she said the last part. Due to the frequent wars with Liang State, many people in Qi State are still struggling for food and clothing.

Although she led her army to defeat the Liang Kingdom, she still could not guarantee the people's food and clothing.

Fortunately, my father has been working hard to govern the country since he ascended the throne, reducing taxes and exempting labor service, which has given the people a respite.

If Qi had not been so poor compared to the other countries, she would not have led her army to defeat Liang, but would have captured the imperial city of Luoliang.

Unfortunately, they did not have enough food and supplies, and they ran out of food halfway through the battle. In the final analysis, it was because Qi was too poor!

Mu Lingshuang sighed deeply in her heart.

"If I can achieve a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu, Your Majesty, will you marry me?" Fang Yuanqi's words were like a thunderclap out of the blue, exploding in Mu Lingshuang's ears.

Yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu? How many people who die of starvation due to lack of food could be saved every year?

"Are you serious?" Even though Mu Lingshuang was calm, her voice was trembling slightly at this moment.

Facing Mu Lingshuang's scorching gaze, Fang Yuanqi's heart pounded, and he spoke subconsciously:

"Seriously, seriously~"

After receiving Fang Yuanqi's accurate answer, a hint of doubt flashed across Mu Lingshuang's eyes, but after hesitating for a moment, she gave an order to the outside:

"Qin Yue!"

Qin Yue, who was riding outside the sedan chair, heard the princess's order and quickly spoke:

"Princess, please give me your instructions."

"Go back to the mansion, no, go to the farm outside the capital."

"Yes!" Although Qin Yue didn't know why the princess suddenly changed her mind, she still agreed hurriedly.

She is not only the Fourth Princess's personal maid, but also Her Royal Highness's deputy general. Obeying her orders is her greatest loyalty.

Ever since Fang Yuanqi started calling people, she has been trying hard to act like a quail and reduce her presence.

At this moment, after hearing the conversation between the master and servant, he met Mu Lingshuang's thoughtful gaze and asked in confusion:

"Aren't you going to see His Majesty?"

Mu Lingshuang did not answer her question, but just said lightly:

"I have eight hundred mu of fertile land outside the capital. I'll give you one year. You don't have to produce a thousand catties per mu. Even if you can only produce five hundred catties, I'll guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and prosperity."

"Really?" Fang Yuanqi's eyes lit up, and his eyebrows almost jumped with joy when he heard the words "glory and wealth".

There's nothing I can do about it. She's just such a vulgar person who loves beauty and money the most.

Seeing Mu Lingshuang nod slightly, Fang Yuanqi calculated the growth cycle of potatoes in his mind and said confidently:

"Then Your Highness, please wait for my good news. It won't take a year, just four months."

Potatoes usually mature in sixty to one hundred days, and no later than one hundred and twenty days, so four months is enough.

Seeing how confident she was, Mu Lingshuang didn't discourage her. "If you need anything, you can always come to me. But if you dare to play tricks on me..."

Hearing Mu Lingshuang's slightly threatening words, Fang Yuanqi was frightened and waved his hands repeatedly:

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Mu Lingshuang, as always, looked down upon her cowardice. He glanced at her lightly and closed his eyes.

Out of sight, out of mind. I hope this strange guy really has a way to increase crop yields. Otherwise... let's settle all the old and new grudges together. If she can get away with it, she'll just have to blame herself for her incompetence...

Mu Lingshuang thought silently in her heart as the car drove through the bluestone alley and headed towards the city gate.

The carriage traveled for almost an hour, until Fang Yuanqi felt that his body was about to be shaken apart, when they finally arrived at the farm.

Mu Lingshuang was very busy with official duties, so she left Fang Yuanqi at a farm outside Beijing and asked the steward to allocate 300 acres of land to him. She also instructed the steward to fully cooperate with Fang Yuanqi in the next six months and then left.

She still didn't quite trust Fang Yuanqi. A guy who didn't even know what to plant in the fields, saying he could produce 1,000 kilograms per mu sounded like bragging, but what if...

It was with this luck that Mu Lingshuang decided to let her give it a try. If she could really succeed, the importance of this person to the State of Qi would be self-evident.
