Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Shen Li left all the carts of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes in the palace, and taught the imperial chefs various cooking methods. She also wrote detailed information on planting and preservation methods and left it to the emperor. Then she happily left the palace with Bai Jin, carrying the imperial edict and a bunch of rewards.

After Bai Jin and Shen Li finished their work, they began to prepare to leave Beijing and return home.

Shen Li was thinking about her family at home and was very excited to choose gifts for them in Beijing.

She counted on her fingers and muttered to herself, "Daddy has been learning to read and write recently, so I need to find him a good inkstone and buy him some tea to help him get rid of his fatigue.

My mother loves needlework, so she must bring back some silk fabrics from the capital.

My younger brother studied very hard, so I bought him some exquisite snacks from the capital and some good writing brushes, inkstones, and paper.

Grandpa and grandma need nourishing herbs and comfortable shoes;

Second uncle loves to drink, so I can’t miss out on this fine wine from the capital. Second aunt will definitely like beautiful jewelry, so I have to pick some carefully.

As for Third Uncle, I'm sure he would like a good fan;

The young girl is young, and some new cosmetics and silks will surely please her..."

Bai Jin looked at Shen Li's serious expression and couldn't help laughing. He smiled and said, "Are you sure you can eat the snacks you brought back?"

Shen Li smiled mysteriously and said, "The hermit has a clever plan! Do you want to know?"

Bai Jin quickly waved his hands and said, "I won't ask. Even if I did, you would say it was your master's magical power."

Shen Li laughed so hard that she rolled over in the carriage.

On the way back, Bai Jin pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back, so he turned his head and asked Shen Li softly: "Xiao Li'er, did you plan this all along and deliberately frame the emperor so that His Majesty would willingly appoint you as the county lord?"

Shen Li blinked cunningly, but did not answer directly. She just asked, "Brother Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Jin stared at her, his eyes full of admiration. "Whether or not this was intentional, your actions benefit both the country and the people. It demonstrates your intelligence and ingenuity, and lays an excellent foundation for our future promotion of grain. Your Majesty's reward is well-deserved."

After Shen Li heard this, a smug smile appeared on her face: "I knew that Brother Bai would understand me.

I'm just following the trend. If this can bring more blessings to the Shen family and help the people of the world, why not do it?"

Bai Jin felt that this little girl was very cute. Although she was still young, she was righteous, smart and cunning. Traveling with her, he was sure that he would not be lonely on this journey.

A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he rode forward with Shen Li. The sound of horse hooves on the official road was crisp, as if playing a melody of hope for their future.

Shen Li thought of the emperor sending people to Qingshan Town to investigate the grain planting. Puzzled, he asked, "When did you plant the grain?"

Bai Jin replied, "I forgot that day when I stayed at your house and slept with your father, and the next day your father gave me some grain.

I immediately arranged for people to plant it in my village! At that time, I thought that if this good thing could be successfully planted locally, it would benefit the people and also accumulate experience for subsequent promotion, so I didn't delay for a moment.

Shen Li nodded: "So that's how it is. If I had known this earlier, I would have planted some in advance. This way, when the emperor sends people to investigate, there will be more examples and the results will be more effective.

But it's not too late now. When we return, we will definitely push this matter forward with all our strength so that more land can be planted with these high-yield crops."

Bai Jin's eyes were firm: "Indeed, although there were some twists and turns in this meeting with the emperor, it can be regarded as a good start.

His Majesty has ordered me to assist you in developing the experimental planting fields. We must go all out to ensure we live up to His Majesty's expectations and disappoint the people who are eagerly awaiting our return."

Shen Li clenched his fists: "Well, I believe we can do it. When the grain is planted on a large scale, not only will our Shen family gain glory, but the people of the world will also be able to avoid hunger. This is the most important thing."

Once the grain is planted on a large scale, the scene will surely be spectacular.

In the fields, high-yield crops are lush and green, like an endlessly surging green ocean.

The Shen family gained glory because of their pioneering contribution, and all the family members, young and old, could hold their heads high.

However, this glory is just the icing on the cake. The real significance lies in the fact that people all over the world will no longer be hungry.

Children are well fed and warmly clothed, and study happily in school; young and middle-aged people are strong and healthy, and work hard for their families and the country;

The elderly can also enjoy their grandchildren and spend their old age in peace. Laughter and joy can be heard everywhere in the world, and there are no more hungry people wailing.

Wherever these grain seeds go, they sow the seeds of hope, which take root, sprout, grow vigorously, and eventually become towering trees that protect all people. Such great achievements are what our hearts desire and our aspirations are for.

Bai Jin watched Shen Li excitedly imagining the future, and felt that this eight-year-old girl was very mature. It seemed that her master was indeed not an ordinary person!
