There is also spring for passers-by

Wen Wan thought for a moment, "The grain yield per mu is too low because the grain variety is too poor. Poor grain varieties are like wild peaches, while high-quality grain varieties are like pears. The size difference between wild peaches and pears is huge. If the yield per mu is increased, what if he can produce 200 or 300 kilograms per mu instead of 100 kilograms per mu in the past?"

The same two mu of land used to produce 200 kilograms of grain, but if high-quality grain is used, it can now produce 600 kilograms. With the increase in people's income, will they still go hungry?

Speaking of war, the Chu people were warlike because the Chu land was full of fog and miasma, the soil was barren, and it was difficult to produce food.

Food is the most important thing for people. They are starving to death, but their neighbors have food to eat. How can they not be tempted to rob them in order to survive?

One of the six disciples clasped his fists and stood up. "In your opinion, young Taoist priest, how should the current situation in Chu be resolved?"

"Chu is not suitable for growing grains or millet, but it can grow other crops, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes. If we test all the grain varieties in the world, we will always be able to select the most suitable one. Just as God has given us talents that will be useful, so too does the land."

From increasing crop yields to improving current looms, the current looms require human operators, but they can be operated by water. In this way, one person can simultaneously monitor several looms...

She had come from the end of the world and had witnessed the prosperity and technology of modern civilization. She became increasingly enthusiastic as she spoke with the seven Confucian teachers and students. Later, she even drew a diagram of the loom's propulsion mechanism, using a very fine charcoal pencil. As she explained the principle, the others were thrilled. They thought that if they followed this line of thought, they could improve the mill and use water power as well...

"Don't forget Junior Sister!"

"Don't forget the Taoist priest!"

Outside, voices calling her came from the streets and alleys.

It was almost dusk.

Wen Wan bowed and said, "My family has sent someone to look for me, so I have to go back now. Thank you for your hospitality, sir."

The Confucian monk asked, "Young Taoist priest, can you come tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow I will return to the secular world. Goodbye!" She walked for a while, then stopped and said, "A peach tree cannot bear pears, but an apple tree can."

Wen Wan came out from the side door. Yan Guilai was already near the cart. "Why are you still selling flowers? Didn't the Fifth Princess buy all your flowers earlier?"

"Brother Yan, please tell me about her. I want to understand the suffering of the people. Why did she cause such trouble? She bought everything in one go, forcing me to go out of town and buy another cart."

“How many pots did you sell today?”

"Two basins."

"How much did you make?"

"Ten cents."

"Earn ten cents in one afternoon?"

"The scholar who bought the flowers knew the price and only offered me ten cents, so I sold them to him."

It's such a hot day, but she still has to come out to sell flowers. It's a good thing she thought of that.

"There's still a cart of flowers. What do you want to do?"

"Let the gardener at the Imperial Master's Mansion plant it. When I come back next time, it might have grown into a large patch. I'll give him a share of the profits I make then."

Yan Guilai twitched his lips. "Are you arguing with the flower seller? How about changing someone else?"

"If I weren't selling flowers, I'd go farming. I'd hoe the field in the heat of the day, my sweat dripping down to the soil. Who knows that every grain of rice on the table is the product of hard work? Indeed, farming is a good thing."

The teachers and students within the high walls heard the servant report: "The one who came to see her is Yan Guilai, the young master of the Yan family."

"A disciple of Tianshi Hall."

"The daughter of Guang Yuanzi's former classmate. When she was six, her father died of injuries sustained while exorcising demons, leaving her in the care of a family of a close friend. It wasn't until she met someone from the Tianshi Hall that she learned her father had passed away. Seeing her helpless and alone, they brought her to Xiaoyao City..."

*

Imperial Prefecture.

Wen Wan entered the mansion and practiced calligraphy and painting. Now her calligraphy is comparable to Yan Guilai's.

Because of this, Yan Guilai was scolded by Guang Yuanzi again, who hated him for being lazy recently. Wen Wan helped to argue a little, saying that Yan Guilai's skills in catching ghosts and monsters have become more and more proficient, and he is very powerful.

After being praised by her, Guang Yuanzi stopped scolding Yan Guilai.

When the Fifth Princess heard that Wen Wan and Yan Guilai and the Imperial Preceptor would return to the secular world tomorrow, she specially prepared a lot of things to send over.

"Mo Wang, I heard there's an extremely beautiful Liuxian skirt out there. I'll give you spirit stones, and you buy me one..."

Yan Guilai said hurriedly: "You know how expensive a set of Liuxian skirt is. A set of low-grade spiritual-level Liuxian skirt costs at least 100 low-grade spirit stones."

"This... is so expensive?" It was too scary. She could only save five spirit stones at most, and that was obtained by currying favor with her mother and uncle. Even with this, other sisters envied her and said she had a huge amount of money.

Wen Wan said, "The princess gave me such a beautiful dress. I have saved up fifty low-grade spirit stones. I will save more and buy you a set when I have enough. What color do you like?"

The fifth princess said repeatedly: "Red, no, how about pink."

Yan Guilai said, "Fifth Princess, one hundred low-grade spirit stones is not one hundred taels of silver."

Even if the Fifth Princess was the legitimate daughter of the Empress, and had only saved five spirit stones after years, she still had to accumulate them one spirit coin at a time. At the Qidu Tianshi Hall branch, one hundred spirit coins could be exchanged for one low-grade spirit stone. There was no such thing as exchanging gold or silver for spirit coins or spirit stones.

"Aside from buying some talisman paper and cinnabar, I rarely use spirit stones. I'll just save them up. Once I buy a low-grade Liuxian skirt, I'll definitely ask Senior Brother Guangyuanzi to bring it back." She looked meaningfully at Yan Guilai and the Fifth Princess. "Senior Brother Yan, you're going to separate. Hurry and take the Fifth Princess away and say some sweet words."

She felt that this matter had to be made clear, and she had been joking with them from time to time in the past half month. When she brought it up for the first time, Yan Guilai's face turned red, and the Fifth Princess was even more shy.

The man is in love and the woman is willing, they are a good match.

The fifth princess stomped her feet and said, "Mo Wang, you are making fun of me. I will ignore you..." She ran away shyly.

Yan Guilai took a look and said, "You must get up early tomorrow, don't miss the time."

"remember."

The fifth princess ran less than fifty meters and stood at the intersection waiting for Yan to return.

Yan Guilai said: "Mowang is just a child..."

"Brother Yan treated her like a younger sister. He felt sorry for her because she had suffered so much in the past. He thought about how her father died young, how she had to live under someone else's roof, how she had suffered so much injustice and contempt. Even though she had received the gold and silver from Uncle-Master Pingyangzi, he hadn't treated her well..."

It was also because of this that the Fifth Princess felt that there was no need for Mo Wang to understand the suffering of the people, because she had suffered those hardships before, and she wanted to help her, so she bought all her flowers.

The Fifth Princess once asked her brother out of curiosity, "What do you think of Mo Wang?"

"Royal sister, what do you mean by this?"

"I just want to know what Brother Yan thinks. You are both teenagers, so I don't think your opinions will be too different."

The emperor thought for a while, "Mo Wang is unkempt. Besides being a girl, you can see what she says and does, it's all things a girl would do. It would be strange if Yan Guilai had any feelings for her. It's good enough that they can be brothers."

The fifth princess suddenly understood and believed what Brother Yan said. It turned out that in the hearts of young people, it was really difficult for someone like Mo Wang to have that kind of feelings. He was really not like a girl.
