The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

April is a season with suitable temperature and revival of all things.

Now all the rice has been transplanted and is growing vigorously in the paddy fields.

Early this morning.

Tang Qiuwan walked out of the house as usual and walked around the nearby fields.

Every time she sees the crops growing at an amazing pace and looking different every day, she feels happy from the bottom of her heart.

After all, these crops are the foundation for these people's survival.

On the way, people in the village who saw her would say a few words to her enthusiastically.

An old man passing by carrying a hoe saw her, stopped and smiled.

"Miss Tang, you're out again today to look at these crops."

Tang Qiuwan nodded, a smile on her face, and smoothed up her messy hair. "Yes, let's take a look."

"We applied fertilizer according to the instructions in the agricultural book you wrote, and it really worked. This year's wheat is growing much better than in previous years."

The old man became a little excited when he said this and pointed to a wheat field in the distance.

"I just checked, and the flowers have started to bloom. It looks like we'll have a bumper harvest. We have to thank Miss Tang for this. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known we could increase the yield this way."

She blushed a little at the old man's words of thanks and raised her hand to touch her hot face.

"It would be nice to have help."

"It helps, a lot."

The old man raised his head and looked at the sky. "Then I won't bother Miss Tang anymore."

"Okay, take care, old man."

After the old man left, Tang Qiuwan's smile could no longer be restrained, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.

Maybe this is the meaning of her coming to this world.

After looking around, I found that the wheat was indeed in bloom, just as the old man said.

It looks like it won't be long before there are ears of wheat.

Just as Tang Qiuwan was about to go home, the yellow spots on the green leaves of the wheat caught her attention.

It's a very light color and you won't notice it unless you pay attention.

But it was this inconspicuous thing that made Tang Qiuwan's breathing slow down.

Afraid that she had seen it wrong, she quickened her pace and came to the cluster of wheat.

He squatted down, held the wheat leaves in his hands and observed them carefully.

The more I observe, the colder my heart becomes.

It is wheat fusarium wilt, a typical climate disease.

It usually appears in the middle and late stages, which is when flowering and heading occur.

After infection, it will dry up and die within a few days. The most terrifying thing is that ergot disease is contagious.

Tang Qiuwan's face turned pale as he recalled the longing and joyful expression on the old man's face just now.

How did I get this disease?

She stood up and walked around the wheat field, leaving only the small area she had just seen.

Tang Qiuwan patted his chest.

Fortunately, fortunately it was discovered early and the infected area is not very large.

It should be possible to contain the disease by promptly removing the infected leaves and sprinkling some wood ash, lime and sulfur powder.

After making up his mind, Tang Qiuwan ran to the village chief's house.

Fortunately, the village chief happened to be at home at this time.

Hearing the knock on the door, he hurried out and opened it.

"It's Qiu Wan. What happened? You're sweating profusely. Come in and have a drink of water to calm down."

Tang Qiuwan waved his hands, bent over and panted heavily, "No... no need."

After a while, she recovered and stood up. "Village chief, it has been raining for a long time. The wheat is sick. We need them to deal with it quickly."

"Wheat is sick? What's wrong with it?"

The village chief was confused when he heard this. Wheat could get sick.

"Chicker Blight."

Seeing that the village chief didn't seem to understand, Tang Qiuwan explained the symptoms and dangers of the disease.

“So this is scab.”

This had happened occasionally before, and they just thought it was a natural disaster, caused by flooding due to excessive rain.

Every year when this happens, the wheat harvest is reduced by half or even more.

The village chief looked at her, his tone uncertain, "Then... can it be cured?"

"It should work. Village chief, have everyone check their wheat fields now. If any of the symptoms I just mentioned appear, immediately remove the diseased parts."

"Yes, yes, is there anything else to do?"

"Also, they were told to sprinkle wood ash, lime, realgar powder, etc., regardless of whether the wheat was infected with fusarium or not."

"Okay, I've remembered everything. Is that all right?"

"What has been discovered now should have been contained earlier. This is all we can do. We'll just have to wait and see what happens next."

"Okay, I'll go inform them right away."

After watching the village chief knocking on every door, Tang Qiuwan thought for a moment and ran towards Wang Quan's house.

This rainy weather is not only happening in their village, I'm afraid it has also appeared in other places in the county.

After explaining the reason to Wang Quan, Wang Quan pulled out his own cow.

While driving, Wang Quan wished that the cow could run as fast as a horse.

Looking at the scenery moving backwards, Tang Qiuwan pondered in his heart.

It seems that I have to buy a horse and keep it at home in the future so that it will be convenient for me to travel back and forth.

In fact, the silver money in Tang Qiuwan's hand was enough to buy a horse. He had previously thought that raising a horse was troublesome, and he didn't know how to ride one, so he never thought about buying one.

Due to the sudden situation today, she decided to buy the horse.

When the time comes, go and learn from General Chen.

……

Tang Qiuwan walked out of the county government office.

Anyway, she has done everything she should do, and now she can only wait for the results.

However, it seems she can still do some more.

She was originally planning to ride Uncle Wang's ox cart back home.

"Uncle Wang, could you take me to the Lord's Mansion?"

"Okay, sit tight, we're leaving."

In front of the Yun Mansion.

"Uncle Wang, why don't you go back first? I'm really bothering you today."

"Well, it's no big deal. You're doing this for the benefit of us common people."

Wang Quan waved at her and said, "Come in quickly. I just happened to buy some things while I was in town. We came here together and will go back together soon."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang."

"We're all from the same village, why are you being so polite? Just go and do your thing."

"it is good."

study.

Tang Qiuwan recounted what happened today from beginning to end.

"I've just gone to the county government office and explained the situation to the county magistrate, but I'm not sure what the final outcome will be."

Now Tang Qiuwan just hopes that it can be discovered early so that everything can be contained.

Yun Zhi looked at the man who was tugging at his clothes out of guilt and said, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. You've done very well."

"It's clearly preventable. Our teacher taught us that wheat is prone to fusarium head blight on rainy days, but I thought it was most common during the heading phase, so... I didn't think much of it."

Yun Zhi sighed softly, stood up and walked in front of her.

"Tang Qiuwan, you don't need to blame yourself. No one can predict everything. We are just ordinary people in this world, not gods. We can't predict everything. All we can do is try our best."

Tang Qiuwan wiped away the tears that were about to fall and looked up at the person standing in front of her.

"Well, I want to write a book about all the knowledge I learned there. I'd like to ask you to help me publish it."

When she was standing at the gate of the county government office, she suddenly had this idea: if she wrote these into a book, more people would see it.

Will the current situation not happen again? There will always be people with talent in this area.

It's not enough for her to change this place on her own.

The delusion of one person showing off his personal heroism and wanting to change this huge world can only exist in novels.

What happened this time was a heavy blow to Tang Qiuwan.

"Tang Qiuwan, do you remember what I said to you when we first met?"

Tang Qiuwan couldn't help but recall what the lord had said that day.

What are you talking about?

"From now on, you are mine, and I will protect you for the rest of your life."

"You just need to do what you should do, I'll take care of everything."

When she remembered, she raised her head and said, "My Lord, I know what to do. Thank you."

"Go."

"it is good."

Because of this decision, Tang Qiuwan spent decades revising, adding and subtracting, and finally wrote a book called "Essentials of Agricultural Administration".

It also became the earliest complete agricultural book in ancient times, standing tall in the long history of the agricultural field.

People in later generations all said that Tang Sinong's book was of extraordinary significance and had a profound influence.

Over the years, fewer and fewer people died of starvation, and every household had surplus food, no worries about food and clothing, and prospered.
