Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

So they aren't afraid of other villages learning from them. It's just that they don't have many seeds right now, so they can only use them themselves. Moreover, they need to solidify their position before others.

"Of course! This year, just our village, my maternal grandfather's family, and your own people will plant first and then store the grain. Didn't you say Zheng Shuyu is one of our own? Then Junlan will be our territory sooner or later. We can gradually expand it next year."

They said Junlan was a barren, cold place, so let's spend two years turning it into a prosperous land. This place is at the crossroads of three kingdoms; then we'll see the emperor suffer, and he still wants to harm you...”

Seeing Nan Nan's indignant expression, Jun Yanchen couldn't help but laugh out loud. How lucky he was to have met Nan Nan and been saved by her...

"Nan Nan, thank goodness."

"Don't worry, you won't regret it if you trust me."

"Nan Nan is so amazing, I'll have to rely on her from now on."

"Easy to say, easy to say"

Laughter erupted inside the carriage.

"Then let's invite our uncles over first thing tomorrow morning!"

"it is good"

--------

the next morning,

The task of hiring people was entrusted to Cang Ling. He arrived at the neighboring village early in the morning and excitedly told the Qi family about the corn.

As someone who had been by Jun Yanchen's side for many years, the Qi family knew what kind of person Cang Ling was, and this was the first time they had seen him so excited.

This was truly unexpected, and the thing he called corn was even more novel...

All of this filled the Qi family with curiosity, so they set off without much hesitation. This time, the entire family went, as everyone wanted to see 'corn'.

Cang Ling was not surprised by this level of importance, so she led the entire Qi family back.

Jun Yanchen and Gu Nanzhi were surprised to see the entire Qi family arrive; it didn't seem like such a large commotion was necessary!

"Grandfather, Grandmother, uncles, and aunts, greetings..."

After exchanging greetings, the Qi family members eagerly steered the conversation towards corn.

"Huaiqing, Nanzhi, where is that corn you were talking about? Could you let us see it?"

"Of course, Cangling, go and get the seeds."

Cang Ling placed the sack in front of everyone. The Qi family members all stepped forward to look at the golden-yellow granules, and couldn't resist grabbing a handful to examine them closely. Some even curiously put one in their mouths to taste it, and after biting into it, they tasted a very faint sweetness, and a hint of fragrance...

"Nanzhi, do you really think this stuff can produce over a thousand catties of grain per acre?"

"Yes, of course, it also depends on the fertility of the soil. If the soil is too barren, it will affect its yield..."

Gu Nanzhi acted as the guide for everyone again, this time explaining in more detail, mentioning nutrients such as organic fertilizer, which all promote the growth of corn.

"...Although it might sound a bit disgusting, it's the best nutrition for corn..."

Using excrement is indeed unacceptable to some, especially to these formerly wealthy families. However, they've been living in the village for a few months now, and their circumstances are different.

With such good grain, if we could harvest more, we wouldn't have to worry about going hungry.

Thinking about it, it seems that it can be overcome.

"Good, good, good, that's wonderful! If that's true, it would be a tremendous blessing for the people..."

Then Gu Nanzhi showed them the methods for growing corn seeds and the process of saving money, which made them eager to try it out.

Alright then, this is the first time Gu Nanzhi has ever seen someone so eager to go to the fields and farm, so let's grant their request.

So he led his people down to the fields. Early the next morning, when Cang Ling went to invite the Qi family, they also summoned the village chief and several others.

So at this time of year, there are so many people visiting farms.

With so many people, we couldn't all get down on the ground; we'd already tamped it down to make a road.

Anyway, it was just a plot of land under the yard, so those who needed to learn just stood at the edge of the yard and watched, while Gu Nanzhi led Cang Ling and the others to plant in the field.

Following Gu Nanzhi's instructions, they dug rows of holes with hoes. Their precision in judging distances was truly remarkable.

In other words, Gu Nanzhi stated the requirements, and the pits in the field were spaced about the same distance apart, and the rows were very neat.

Someone who didn't know better might think it was created by using a string as a reference.

Two people were digging holes with hoes, while another person was putting a little bit of the sheep and chicken manure that Gu Nanzhi had previously asked them to store in each hole.

They had been wondering why these things were cleaned up and piled together, but now they seemed to understand.

As for Gu Nanzhi, she held corn seeds in her hand, placed two kernels in each hole, and then someone followed behind her using a hoe to dig some soil to cover them up.

It's that simple.

They planted a small patch of glutinous corn in the ground below their yard, so they could eat the tender corn later.

It was planted quickly, and the steps and methods were clearly seen and remembered by the person above.

"Okay, that's it. It's very simple. The corn will start to sprout in about half a month. Once they've all sprouted, you can replant in any missing spots. After that, it's just a matter of weeding, which I don't need to explain further. Did everyone take notes?"

"I've got it, I've got it."

"Okay, that's good. Village chief, please go to the village and tell everyone that if they want to plant anything, they can come here to get seeds for free. Each family can get two kilograms of seeds."

"Okay, okay, Miss Jun, thank you, thank you so much. You are a great benefactor to our village."

"Don't mention it, we're from the same village."

The village chief has gone to make arrangements.

The Qi family stayed at home for lunch before leaving with the three catties of yellow corn seeds and two catties of glutinous corn seeds that Gu Nanzhi had given them.

They were all extremely excited and planned to plant the glutinous corn seeds as soon as they got back that day.

As for the villagers, because they had previously trusted Gu Nanzhi and Jun Yanchen's abilities in planting potatoes, after hearing the village chief's announcement, every single family came to collect corn seeds.

In addition, Gu Nanzhi also gave the village chief a diagram of the corn growth process and planting methods, asking him to find a place to post it for the villagers to see.

"Young Master Jun, Young Lady Jun, thank you both. I'll take it and put it up right away."

"Yes, village chief, you don't need to be so polite. If you have any problems with planting later, you can come and find me."

“good good”

All the seeds were distributed, and the rest of Gu Nanzhi was given to Jun Yanchen.

"Huaiqing, it's up to you to handle these seeds."

With a single glance from Jun Yanchen, Cang Ling summoned a shadow guard, handed him the seed, gave him a few words of advice, and then the guard disappeared.

After finishing her business, Gu Nanzhi stretched.
