The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

On the way to the village, they saw that there were no outsiders around, so Guan Ling spoke.

"Cousin, after seeing the tax payment today, I suddenly understand your painstaking efforts. I was too naive before, but today I have truly witnessed the suffering of the people. I want to help them, but if my identity is exposed now, it will bring trouble to more people.

I want to ask you for help. How about I become your disciple and teach me how to help the people? " Guan Ling now feels that Lu Linlang is the smartest person around her. She wants to become your disciple, to solve the plight of the people, and to live up to the title of princess.

"Your words are truly humiliating to me. How can I be worthy of being your master? Besides, I have only learned everything on my own. When it comes to business acumen, there are many people who are better than me. When it comes to farming, those old hands who have been farming for many years are also better than me. When it comes to studying, whether it is Yunyi or Master Li, they are all better than me.

I am just a person who has survived by chance thanks to the title of my family. In fact, if you observe carefully, you will find that many people, men and women, young and old, whether they are officials, businessmen or farmers, all have their own ways of survival, and they all have desirable essences and undesirable dregs.

So you might as well observe them more, learn from their strengths and make up for your own shortcomings. Only through continuous learning and reflection can you truly change your thinking and acquire more abilities."

Lu Linlang shook her head. She really didn't think she was very capable. She was just relying on the experience of her previous life. She had come into contact with many people and met people with bad tempers. Unless they had strong connections, it would be difficult for them to achieve anything. And those who were very capable in life and work, no matter what kind of person he was in private, always had a good temper in front of outsiders, like a spring breeze, making people willing to interact with him.

In Daqi, even in a small Chongshui County, different people here still have their own life wisdom. Although Lord Zhao's subordinates also collect grain taxes and various taxes, his methods are gentler. Compared with other county magistrates, his reputation and word of mouth are much better.

Mr. Zhang, as a well-known local squire in Chongshui, always does good deeds. People who know him will give him a thumbs up and praise him. It is said that his family has many sons, but there are fewer family conflicts than other families, which shows that he has a good way of managing his family.

The same goes for the clan leader. All the villagers obey his leadership. This is all due to their abilities. Lu Linlang feels that instead of learning from herself, it would be better to let Guan Ling learn more from these people. In the future, she will mostly face people of the same generation and thinking as her. Only by knowing their ideas can she come up with ways to deal with them.

Li Qiuyue, whose family was exiled, was a woman who never thought of giving up. After arriving in Dongshan Village, she and her mother actively farmed and took care of her injured father and brother at home. She is very admirable.

"But don't worry, if you need any help or don't understand something, you can come to me for help. If I can help, I will definitely help." Lu Linlang added. Guan Ling felt that what she said made sense. There were many people around her who were worth learning from. She was now in Xishan Village and could learn from Lu Linlang at any time. Thinking of this, her mood became much better.

She no longer had any extravagant hope of making such a phenomenon disappear by suppressing her status. After all, that was the most unrealistic idea. She thought to herself that when she learned everything, she would tell her royal brother after returning to the capital, and ask him to govern Daqi well and let the people live and work in peace.

Yangchun is helping Yunxi at the moment. Erhua is also here. She is studying medicine with Yunxi. Lu Linlang encourages her love of learning, and now she has come to help.

"Sister, I've found a way. They all eat too little salt or the salt is not regular. Do you know if there are people selling illegal salt here? I asked, and one of them got into trouble because he ate illegal salt. I asked him to take out the illegal salt. I just thought of a way and really found the difference between illegal salt and the salt sold in the market."

When Yunxi saw her sister coming, she excitedly said that she would take her to see the changes between them.

Several people followed him into a small room, where they saw two teacups with blue water in them.

"I used to wonder why doctors in medical books said people would get goiter if they didn't eat salt, so I researched many methods. One day, I accidentally dropped something I had made onto some salt and noticed it changed color, so I started to have doubts.

But I didn't know the reason at that time. Today I took the private salt they bought, and thought about comparing it, so I put that thing into the private salt, but it didn't change color. I guessed that this is probably because the salt sold by the government contains a magical thing, and that thing is the reason why people don't get goiter after eating it.

I still don't know what this thing is, and I need to continue researching it. But at least I know the cause of their illness, and I can continue to look for a cure."

After Yunxi finished speaking, she saw her sister looking at her with surprise and admiration. Guan Ling and others beside her were also shocked by the color-changing salt. They had never thought that the salt sold by the government would have such benefits.

"I remember that the government's salt usually comes from the seaside, but I heard that private salt is obtained by other means, not from the seaside. Perhaps it is because there is something in the sea that gives the salt this effect.

I also read a record that many people living near the sea also suffer from goiter. However, since they live by the sea all year round and their food contains salt, they don't need to eat salt specifically. So I wonder if this is the reason why people get this disease. People who live far from the sea should eat sea salt containing salt, while people who live near the sea should eat less food containing salt.

When Guan Ling heard him say this, she remembered the records she had read in the library of the imperial palace. At that time, she didn't take it seriously, but now she was shocked. What on earth could this thing be? How could it have such magical effects? Eating too much is not good, and not eating it is not good either.

"It just so happens that we haven't finished eating the seafood we bought yet. I'll ask someone to get it for you. You can try it yourself and see which kind of seafood has this thing." Lu Linlang didn't expect them to be so smart. She knew what it was, but she was not a science student and couldn't understand the principles behind it. She had to return a lot of knowledge to her teacher after she entered society.

However, you can still remind them and guide them to find the correct reasons.

Yunxi was extremely excited at this moment. Upon hearing what his sister said, he immediately urged people to bring things. Thinking that he couldn't just test seafood, he brought all the food from the farm and prepared to test them one by one.

Soon, the seafood arrived and Yunxi accelerated the pace of testing.

Finally, before dark, he discovered that among all seafood, seaweed and kelp had the highest content of this substance, and dried shrimp and shrimp skin also contained it. Egg yolks also contained this substance, but egg whites did not.

"I see. This stuff is truly magical. They're both from the sea, but the others aren't as high as these two. There's even less, and you can't even see the color change. And this kelp seems to be the cheapest near the sea. It actually has such benefits. If ordinary people eat it, wouldn't it help prevent goiter?"

"That's right. As long as everyone eats food containing this stuff, the occurrence of this disease can be reduced in the future." Lu Linlang didn't know how Yunxi came up with this idea. She originally planned to find an opportunity to share her unintentional discovery, but she didn't expect that he could find such a method.
