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

It was late at night. Fang Yuanqi was lying on the hard bed, with a pillow harder than her head, thinking carefully.

The land has been plowed and crops can be planted soon. Using potatoes to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in this era is only the first step. Next, she wants to introduce some other crops to ensure that the people here can have enough food and clothing.

Fang Yuanqi, who had originally had trouble sleeping, was perhaps too tired and fell asleep without him knowing when.

When she woke up, it was already bright outside. The hard pillow and hard bed made her feel sore all over.

However, when I saw the cotton growing well in the system space, I instantly felt very happy.

It's only been a day and a half, and the cotton seedlings are already as tall as calves. It's a pity that there are only a hundred acres, otherwise her system space can become a mobile granary.

After lying on the bed and grinning foolishly for a while, Fang Yuanqi finally resigned himself to his fate and climbed up from the bed.

It’s getting late, time to get up and work.

Plant potatoes, plant potatoes...plant potatoes...

Now Fang Yuanqi’s mind is full of growing potatoes.

However, potatoes reproduce asexually, and seeds do not grow as well as sprouted potato chunks. But if she simply conjured up a few sacks of potatoes, would people be suspicious?

Forget it, never mind, let’s plant potatoes first. She wants to eat spicy and sour potato shreds.

Tastes even better when rolled in pancakes...

No, I can’t think about it anymore. Tears are already flowing from the corners of my mouth.

She had to stick to her bottom line and not eat the potatoes she had saved for seeds.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Fang Yuanqi didn't even have time to eat breakfast. He found Manager Lin and asked him to call some people to help cut the slightly sprouted potatoes into pieces and plant them in the field.

Fang Yuanqi was very excited at first when he was doing this work for the first time, but later he was exhausted.

It was not until Manager Lin found her half-dead and told her that the two hundred acres of potatoes had been planted that Fang Yuanqi felt like she was alive again.

Manager Lin looked at Mr. Fang, whose speech and behavior were somewhat strange, and finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:

"What the hell are these potatoes? Why are they grown like this?"

In fact, what Manager Lin wanted to ask more was whether this thing could really grow?

Hearing Manager Lin's question, everyone who had just worked together gathered around. They were also very curious. According to what Mr. Fang said, the seeds they had just planted should be potato seeds.

But the seeds have been cut open, can anything still grow?

Furthermore, they had never seen seeds this big before. If the seeds were as big as a fist, the fruit would have to be as big as a human head!

Facing everyone's curious looks, Fang Yuanqi thought for a moment and explained:

"The same is true when potatoes mature. This is rhizome propagation, which grows faster than seeds and has a higher yield."

The onlookers nodded seriously regardless of whether they understood or not.

There is no way. If everyone else nods but I don’t, it will seem like I am not as smart as others.

Fang Yuanqi saw that everyone understood what was going on and was very satisfied with his ability to explain.

Let’s see who dares to say that her ability to express herself is not good anymore. Look! She is still very good.

After feeling complacent for a while, the thoughts that Fang Yuanqi had tried hard to suppress yesterday resurfaced.

Planting potatoes is relatively labor-saving. After planting, there is basically nothing to do except watering them when the weather is particularly dry.

She could take advantage of this time to do something else, such as making some bricks to improve the traffic environment.

Otherwise, with this broken road, if it rains twice more, she couldn't imagine how muddy it would be. She would step into mud everywhere! Every step would be filled with mud!

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

Building roads requires bricks, which must be baked.

To make bricks, one needs to hire people. Fang Yuanqi rolled his eyes and set his sights on the people in front of him.

Isn’t this a ready-made young and strong man?

Just as Fang Yuanqi's eyes were rolling around, Manager Lin's grandson Xiao Xiaolin, who was playing with him, suddenly spoke up, "Grandpa, is this Mr. Fang up to something bad? Why is he laughing so scary?"

Lin Qing thought that if he lowered his voice, no one would be able to hear him.

In fact, everyone heard what he whispered into Manager Lin's ear, including Fang Yuanqi who was suspected of having some bad intentions.

Fang Yuanqi: "..."

Does she look like some bad person? And that scary smile? Is she really that ugly? Is she even scaring the kids?!

Just when Fang Yuanqi was doubting his life, Manager Lin reacted and patted Xiao Xiaolin's butt lightly as a punishment, then said embarrassedly:

"Children speak without restraint. Please don't be offended, Master Fang."

Although Fang Yuanqi was a little embarrassed because he was suspected of having bad intentions, he quickly adjusted himself, smiled, and said:

"Nothing, I was just wondering what you guys do when you're not farming?"

Hearing this question, Manager Lin shook his head, sighed, and said:

“Those who are strong will work as helpers to earn a little money, but most of them just sit at home and do nothing.”

Seeing Fang Yuanqi listening attentively, Manager Lin paused and continued:

"If you're lucky and catch the recruitment, you can still have food for a few months. If you're unlucky, you can only grit your teeth and tighten your belt to get by."

After hearing what Manager Lin said, the smile on Fang Yuanqi's face gradually disappeared.

No wonder the system encouraged her to choose the farming system. The people in the capital were already having such a hard time, and who knows how hungry the people in other places would be.

The people gathered together, not noticing the change in Fang Yuanqi's expression, continued to chat:

"Yeah, it's a pity that there was no recruitment notice issued this year. I guess there won't be such a good thing this year."

A good thing? Fang Yuanqi was stunned. They actually thought that being a soldier was a good thing. Could it be that the Mulan poem he learned as a child was fake?

Was military service actually not that brutal? Hua Mulan didn't join the army in her father's place? She defeated so many competitors, including her brothers and sisters, to secure a spot in the army?

Fang Yuanqi, whose thoughts were fruitless, hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question he wanted to ask the most:

"Do you really want to join the army?"

Upon hearing this question, the group of young men became excited.

"Yes, soldiers provide food."

Fang Yuanqi: "..."

Isn't this the most basic thing? How can you fight the enemy without a full stomach?

"Not only that, there are rewards for killing enemies."

"What reward?" Fang Yuanqi looked at the man who was speaking curiously.

I wonder what kind of reward can make him so excited?

"One head can be exchanged for three white flour buns. If you are lucky enough to grab a general's head, you can exchange it for ten!" The slightly older man shook his ten fingers with a happy and proud expression on his face.

It looked like he had the enemy general's head in his hand.

The onlookers also had longing expressions on their faces, which made Fang Yuanqi feel nauseous.

No, a general’s head is only worth ten steamed buns in your hands?

If I steam hundreds of pots of steamed buns myself, wouldn’t I be able to lead the army directly to the enemy’s lair?
