Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 56 The Prime Minister's Early Death

Time passed quickly and it was the spring of the following year.

After more than half a year of investigation, Nan Xi decided to plant some high-yield crops in the north, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, etc.

Now all her own dowry business has been handed over to Liu Xiang. After Liu Xiang's development and growth and some suggestions from later generations, she can be said to be making a fortune every day.

Last autumn and winter, the imperial court's supplies to the Nan Family Army were severely insufficient, and thanks to Nan Xi's private subsidies, they were able to survive. Nan Xi felt that while money wasn't a major issue at the moment, the food supply for an army of hundreds of thousands couldn't be transported over great distances; it would be best to supply it locally.

She found some crops from the corners of the space, but there were no ready-made seeds.

Nan Xi could only rely on her wood-related abilities to ripen the crops that were not yet fully mature and leave the seeds.

Stimulate growth, ripen, harvest, and save seeds——

After several rounds of repeated efforts, we finally got enough crop seeds for the first batch.

Fortunately, after unremitting training, Nan Xi's thunder, wood, and space abilities had all reached level eight. Therefore, using space teleportation to the northern border only took a cup of tea.

When Nan Xi first appeared in the Nan family army camp, Li Guanghai and the sixteen guards were stunned.

Fortunately, they had all been baptized by the Loyalty Pill, and did not ask too many questions about the sudden arrival of their master and the large amount of grain brought by the master.

At this time, Li Guanghai and the sixteen generals of the Nan family had basically taken control of the Nan family army, and they also found opportunities to eliminate the secret agents planted by the emperor.

The highest-ranking general left behind by the Nan Family Army was Deputy General Tan Yingtan.

Deputy General Tan was also a general promoted by General Nan. Because he was an orphan, General Nan adopted him as his son and even arranged a marriage for him.

Unfortunately, Lieutenant General Tan had probably been injured in battle in his early years, and his wife and two concubines left him no children. Now middle-aged, he was busy with military work all day and had given up on such thoughts.

Because he had brought the tiger talisman with him, Li Guanghai was now Tan Ying's important deputy. Fortunately, Tan Ying was quite loyal to the Nan family. After meeting him, Nan Xi had the system feed him a loyalty pill.

Everything else remains unchanged.

Nan Xi hadn't considered giving Tan Ying a fertility pill or a fertility pill for a daughter. This was his original fate, and Nan Xi had no intention of changing it.

Although Tan Ying has not betrayed at the moment, he has been sitting in this position until the end of his previous life. Who knows what he has done?

So although Tan Ying is still the supreme commander of the Nan Family Army, the Nan Family Army has actually been completely controlled by Zhao Guanghai and the Sixteen Generals of the Nan Family.

In other words, at this point, the Nan family army was completely in Nan Xi's hands.

Nan Xi asked people to sign up and selected a group of soldiers from the village who had worked the land. She changed into men's clothes and personally led them to open up the wasteland and plant new crops.

Seeing the first batch of tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and sweet potatoes successfully harvested, everyone, including Nan Xi, was extremely excited.

This was actually Nan Xi’s first successful planting.

Although she has wood-related abilities, she was already feeling world-weary at the end of the world, and there was no land for planting in the space, so she has always been keen on "0 yuan purchases".

Therefore, when Nan Xi ate the fruits and vegetables she had grown for the first time, the sweet feeling was particularly different.

Nan Xi selected a few good soldiers from the soldiers who were farming with her, gave them her experience and seeds that had been improved by her wood-type ability, and gradually withdrew from the farming.

After all, she came here to complete a mission, and her goal was to complete the mission and enjoy life, not to really farm in the soil every day.

By spring, the new crops in the North were already beginning to take shape.

Nan Xi asked Xia Zhu, oh no, it was Liu Xiang.

Nan Xi asked Liu Xiang to make chili peppers into seasoning and first launch sour and spicy and sweet and spicy dishes in the restaurant.

Once the chili peppers are harvested, they'll be gradually sold as a seasoning. Large, red tomatoes are carved into beautiful shapes and garnished with garnishes, each filling a plate. Their festive red color and sweet and sour flavor are a favorite among diners.

These two things quickly became popular in the capital.

All I can say is that food and vegetables were still scarce in this era.

So, money is easy to make.

Nan Xi had brought back the peppers and tomatoes she was going to use for marketing, but she had no plans to bring the potatoes and sweet potatoes to the capital.

Once these high-yield crops were promoted nationwide, they would be enough to solve the problem of food for the people of Dai Viet. However, the trouble that followed was that the Nan family was once again pushed to the forefront.

Nan Xi doesn't need any rewards from the emperor at this moment. These will only become a knife falling on the general's head at an accelerated speed.

Therefore, she had to first solve the problem of food and clothing for the Southern Army, then develop the North, and finally take into account the entire Dai Viet.

In the spring, Nan Xi had already formed a logistics force in the Nan family army.

This team is mainly composed of disabled or sick veterans, or soldiers who are too young or too weak to fight.

These people can either return home and continue to work on the farm, or even become a burden to their families.

Otherwise, they would just be used as cannon fodder.

Nan Xi gave them this opportunity, and these people are very grateful.

Nanxi imitated the military management policies of later generations, built barracks and collective dormitories, allowed and encouraged soldiers and generals to bring their families to live in the north, and also gave them certain preferential policies.

Gradually, the Southern Army became self-sufficient and formed its own system. As the entire northern region centered around the Southern Army, its population and economy gradually prospered.
