"Yan'er is really my lucky star."
Xiao Mingye looked at Feng Qingyan's doting face and couldn't help but gently hug her into his arms.
He suddenly felt that Feng Qingyan was like the most precious gift given to him by God.
Since Feng Qingyan came to him, not only has his body recovered completely, but all the problems around him have been solved.
Even the people in the palace were so troubled by him that they had no time to bother him anymore.
The most important thing is that since meeting Feng Qingyan, his originally dull life has become more vivid.
Just looking at her like that, he unconsciously had expectations in his heart, looking forward to those beautiful futures.
Feng Qingyan was more than just his lucky star, she was simply a gift from God.
It was as if he was given a new lease of life.
"You...can you let me go first?"
Feng Qingyan leaned against Xiao Mingye's chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and her face turned red unconsciously.
She really did all this out of respect for the soldiers.
And the most she could do was help them check information and find some feasible methods.
Did Xiao Mingye misunderstand something?
"good……"
Xiao Mingye glanced at Mu Qing who kept peeking here not far away, and quickly let go of Feng Qingyan in embarrassment.
He was so excited just now that he couldn't help himself, and he was indeed a little reckless.
Mu Qing felt even more happy as she ate the delicious food in her hands. It seemed that a new mistress in the palace was just around the corner.
You must tell Aunt Liu (Xiao Mingye’s nanny) when you go back and prepare what you need to prepare as soon as possible.
Mu Qing was really worried about their prince, and he really had nothing to say for doing such a job as a personal guard.
Coal mining here is going smoothly, and Feng Qingyan also helped the soldiers in the northwest put together a farming plan.
Dusty land is not suitable for growing wheat, rice, etc., but corn, peanuts, potatoes, etc. should be fine.
Moreover, this product is high-yielding, easy to store, and can also be used as a staple food.
In addition, plants with high medicinal value such as sea buckthorn and astragalus are also suitable for growth in the northwest.
As far as Feng Qingyan knew, there should be no corn and peanuts in this world. As for potatoes, she checked the records and there were some.
Corn, peanuts, sea buckthorn, astragalus, etc., Feng Qingyan’s space supply bank has a large number of various seeds, so there is no need to worry.
You can look for potatoes.
"Have you seen this thing before, Your Majesty?"
Feng Qingyan printed a colorful picture of the structure of a potato from space.
The leaves, fruits, flowers, etc. are all clearly marked, and they are almost exactly the same as the real thing.
"I have seen them in the Jiangnan area. They seem to be called potatoes. Many people use them to feed livestock."
Xiao Mingye took a closer look at the appearance of the potato in Feng Qingyan's picture, and remembered that he had seen such a thing in a family in the south of the Yangtze River.
Feng Qingyan nodded.
Since Jiangnan was so rich, no one thought much of it, so it was normal to use it to feed livestock.
"This stuff can be steamed and eaten directly to fill the stomach, or it can be ground into powder to make various foods. The nutritional value is also very high. The prince can ask people to find it and plant it in a large area in the northwest. Potatoes have extremely high yields and mature quickly. It can be harvested two to three times a year and is easy to store. It can solve the problem of food shortage in the northwest in winter."
Feng Qingyan and Xiao Mingye shared knowledge about potatoes.
Potatoes are easy to propagate, highly adaptable, do not require special care, and can be grown almost freely.
It is simply perfect for the northwest environment.
Xiao Mingye became more and more excited as he listened.
"This thing has so many benefits, it's so good. I will send people to the south of the Yangtze River to collect a large number of potatoes, and immediately transport them to the northwest to start planting."
No one in Jiangnan knew the value of potatoes, and they didn’t even need to spend money to get them.
If you start planting now, you may be able to harvest two crops before winter, which can be stored for the winter.
This is great news to the soldiers in the northwest.
After talking about the potatoes, Feng Qingyan took Xiao Mingye to her small warehouse.
"These are the seeds of corn, peanut and sea buckthorn and astragalus. Corn is also a major crop and can be used as a staple food. Peanuts can be eaten directly or used to extract oil. Both sea buckthorn and astragalus have high medicinal value. These species Crops should also be suitable for planting in the northwest.”
As Feng Qingyan spoke, she grabbed a handful of plump and big peanuts and threw one into her mouth from time to time.
Xiao Mingye looked at the things he had never seen before and couldn't help but grab a handful of corn, eager to taste it.
As a result, his teeth were hit directly, and he vomited it out in a panic.
"Bah, bah, bah, this is too hard and tastes bad."
"Pfft, that's corn. It can be ground into powder and made into food, but it cannot be eaten directly. This peanut can be eaten raw or cooked. In addition, it can be squeezed into oil and used for cooking."
Feng Qingyan looked at Xiao Mingye's embarrassment and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"oh."
Xiao Mingye frowned slightly.
I think of him as the majestic God of War, who considered himself well-read, knowledgeable about astronomy and geography.
But when it comes to his little princess, she can be said to be ignorant.
It's really embarrassing for adults.
"These seeds have my detailed notes on how to cultivate and plant them, as well as the growing conditions. The prince also needs to find a professional master in the local area to cultivate and reproduce them strictly according to my steps. The specific yield will also be based on It depends on the actual situation.”
When Feng Qingyan saw Xiao Mingye frowning, she also put away the smile on her face and started talking about business.
The crops she chose can be saved and planted repeatedly.
Once cultivated successfully, it can be planted permanently in the future and the harvest will be endless.
This can fundamentally solve the problem of food shortage in the northwest.
"I'll let someone make arrangements right now."
Xiao Mingye didn't even think about it and immediately implemented Feng Qingyan's plan.
Just like Feng Qingyan said, once the cultivation is successful, the food supply in the northwest will be solved.
By then, the northwest will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes, and this will be a historic breakthrough.
The plan to solve the food problem is roughly like this, and changing the soil and climate of the northwest is the top priority.
"The northwest is arid and there is little rain. We can improve the local soil environment by planting green plants. I have also made some plans. Take a look."
In modern times, Feng Qingyan once saw the spectacular Populus euphratica forest in the desert that had survived for thousands of years.
It is better to start by planting Populus euphratica forest.
If you want to do greening and grow crops, water is essential.
Therefore, Feng Qingyan also gave them a complete well drilling plan based on the situation in the northwest.
Xiao Mingye looked at the densely packed words on the pages and was very impressed.
Feng Qingyan is really attentive and considers every aspect of Northwest China very carefully.
It seems like I am really in the northwest.
