The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Of course, He Wuyang's forte is not planting, but cultivating new seeds.

This time, the system, which was barely functioning, made an exception and highlighted He Wuyang's skills in red, as if afraid she wouldn't see them, with several large red exclamation marks next to them.

Putting aside the system's special consideration, Zheng Xun himself was also excited!

During the apocalypse, their base sacrificed more than a dozen skilled individuals to rescue an agricultural expert, but even so, other bases were green with envy.

In times of food shortages, a person who knows how to grow food is a rare and unique treasure.

The thought that he might be shaking the hand of a legendary god of agriculture made Zheng Xun feel that he wasn't enthusiastic enough.

However, He Wuyang was unaware of these things. He was not a self-deprecating person, but being looked at with such trusting eyes by Zheng Xun, he actually felt a rare sense of fear.

"Although Wuyang likes farming, he doesn't have much experience. The princess's trust in him is truly frightening to me."

"Don't be alarmed. We'll only know if it works by trying," Zheng Xun said excitedly, then finally remembered that he was still recovering from his injuries. "Has Wu Yang's injury fully healed?"

"Dr. Yuan is very thorough and meticulous. With his care, Wu Yang has now recovered and is even stronger than before."

"That's good! You are the hope of the people of Dayong, you must take good care of your health!"

He Wuyang was a little dizzy.

He? The hope of the people of Dayong?

Is he really that amazing?

Seeing that he was so flattered that he was completely lost, Zheng Xun quickly pressed his advantage: "You're alright. Now that you've recovered, why don't you go to the estate to work now? I'll take you."

"OK then……"

emperor:?

If he remembered correctly, he also asked He Wuyang if he planned to enter officialdom through other means. What did he say at the time?

He said, "Wu Yang is not very talented and has no great ambitions. He only wants to be a rich and leisurely person. Official career and fame are nothing but fleeting clouds to Wu Yang. Wu Yang only wishes to travel around and take a good look at the country that the He family ancestors risked their lives to protect."

Okay.

His lack of interest in officialdom is only directed at him, the emperor, right? If it were Zheng Xun, he would have agreed!

I don't know why, but I always feel a little sour.

Realizing what he was thinking, the emperor fell silent for a moment, then suddenly realized that he had been so idle lately that he had started to overthink things.

He gritted his teeth, left the reward he had prepared for He Wuyang, and departed.

True to his word, Zheng Xun personally escorted He Wuyang to the estate.

Along the way, she practically showered He Wuyang with praise, calling him "the reincarnation of Shennong" and "the backbone of the Great Yong Dynasty," saying whatever sounded good.

Where had He Wuyang ever seen such a scene?

Since everyone has praised him so much, he feels embarrassed to refuse.

It wasn't until he stepped into the village and saw the vast expanse of orderly land that he suddenly came to his senses.

How did he end up here?

It seems someone praised him? And then, in a daze, he naturally followed along?

He always felt that once he set foot on the farmland, his easy days would be gone forever, and he wondered if it was too late to turn around and leave.

Actually, it's not that He Wuyang can't endure hardship. As a member of the He family, he even has an innate sense of responsibility to shoulder the burden of the people of Dayong.

He just didn't believe he could do it.

With millions of people in the Dayong Kingdom, and each place having different land, rainfall, and celestial phenomena, he was not confident that he could feed everyone.

Some farmers were busy in the fields. This was arranged by Zheng Xun. He did not act on his own initiative. He simply divided the land into many neat plots and dug ditches to make some preliminary preparations for future planting.

Seeing the realization on He Wuyang's face, Zheng Xun knew that he had come to his senses and was racking his brains for a way to persuade him, but unexpectedly, He Wuyang moved.

He took off his exquisite cloisonné gold-patterned boots and snow-white socks, rolled up his trousers, tucked in his shirt, and stepped onto the soft, dug earth, just like everyone else in the fields.

He looked around, and the hired farmers seemed to know what important thing the owner of the estate was about to do.

Although they didn't understand it, they were willing to put a lot of effort into food, and so they all worked enthusiastically.

He Wuyang stood with his hands behind his back, his still-childish face full of determination and composure.

“Princess, Wu Yang is willing to stay here.”

This time, it was Zheng Xun's turn to be surprised.

She couldn't understand why he would change his mind. Could this be the effect of his innate divine body for farming?

"Princess, thank you."

"Thank me?" Zheng Xun chuckled. "It's good that you don't blame me."

He Wuyang was originally a young master from a prominent family. He didn't need to do anything; he could live a comfortable life by relying on his ancestors' blessings.

He didn't have to suffer, but Zheng Xun cleverly lured him to the farmland.

He Wuyang sighed, "Actually, I also thought about becoming a general when I was a child, but I knew very early on that I didn't have that talent."

Zheng Xun recalled briefly that the system had indeed mentioned this matter in just a few words.

"I'm not good at martial arts, nor am I good at strategizing. But I happen to have an older sister who is eager to go to the battlefield and has the talent, but doesn't have the opportunity."

The women of the He family were capable of going to the battlefield, but none of them were truly able to lead the He family army.

But He Wuyu was different. She not only wanted to repeat the glory of her predecessors, but also wanted to create her own glory.

"To fulfill her wish and to hide the truth of my lack of talent, I pretended to have no interest in fighting."

Saying you don't like it, you end up fooling yourself.

In truth, didn't he also long to become a great hero on the battlefield?

He was just too clear-headed; he knew that some things couldn't be accomplished just because he wanted to.

Because of this, he was often depressed.

To dispel these emotions, he began to look for other paths.

“One day when I was a child, I was returning from fishing in the village. It was right after the autumn harvest, and the rice ears had been cut down, exposing the bare mud. An old man was walking barefoot in the field, carefully picking up each ear of rice.”

I asked him, "A single ear of rice only has a few grains of rice, why bother with all that hard work?"

"He told me that without food, the people would not be able to eat their fill and rest, and the army would not be able to build up its strength. However, there was not enough food, so many people were still starving. This is a priceless treasure, and those who have the opportunity to eat their fill should cherish it even more."

The old man's simple yet profound way of holding the rice stalks was deeply etched into his heart.

“From then on, I became interested in farming, and I couldn’t stop.”

[I know that, you've ruined all the flowers in the He family's yard, now they're planting fruit, vegetables and wheat instead.]

He Wuyang: ...

“I want to thank the princess. This is the path I truly want to take. If the princess hadn’t given me a push, I wouldn’t have made this choice so quickly.”

Zheng Xun's pupils dilated slightly, and she stood on tiptoe to pat his shoulder, moved: "I'm fine. I'll have to trouble you from now on."

He Wuyang said magnanimously, "If it can truly benefit all people, what is this little bit of suffering?"
