The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm

Chapter 68: A female mate chooses to farm (17)

However, with the skill book and scene simulation function, she felt that it shouldnt be too difficult to make a generator.

She combed through the existing materials on hand and found that the only material that could not be replaced by other materials was silicon, but it was an indispensable material for making solar panels.

Fortunately, the energy point is relatively rich, so I simply bought a batch of solar panels in the system mall and started tinkering with solar motors.

Seeing that the princess was busy and no one reminded her to go home, it was King Jinnan's turn to be upset.

But the princess was right. Cement and magnetite were new things. If she made them and threw them to him, if he walked away and left them alone, no one would understand.

While the princess is busy, quickly promote a few confidants. After training them, let them lead their own teams to lay cement roads and mine iron mines, so as not to bother him in the future.

The princess was probably too busy to think of him, so King Jinnan would give her gifts when he had time to increase his presence.

Sometimes its a piece of fine jade seed, sometimes its a box of seawater pearls.

Xu Yin is busy and has no time to think too much. He just thinks that the people below him are filial to him.

Seeing the pearls, I couldn't help but think of the Maritime Silk Road, and asked with interest: "Are there any merchant ships trading with Nanyang?"

There was none originally, but her mention gave Yan Kejin an idea.

yes! Beidi can trade, but what about Nanyang?

However, the other continents across the border are places of exile, and the conditions are worse than those of the Southern Barbarians. Further south, there are small countries. Does the princess think they will be rich? He frowned.

Suppose we can do business with Beidi, what do you think? Xu Yin asked him.

Neither Beidi nor Nanman were as wealthy as the Central Plains.

But Beidi is dominated by nomadic people, with herds of cattle and sheep. The most indispensable thing is meat, followed by dairy products, and cotton is also growing well.

The Southern Barbarians are poor, but they also have their own special products, such as tea, pearls, and Shoushan stones.

With the retting method contributed by Xu Yin, rice can be grown three seasons a year without being barren. If the two places can trade, it will only make each other's lives better.

Seeing that he was thoughtful, Xu Yin continued: "It's just trade, and it doesn't matter whether it's rich or not. If you're not rich, you can get more things back."

Xu Yin drew a blueprint for him.

As a result, as soon as this man straightened out his thoughts, he wanted to form a fleet to go to sea for trade, as if he would make a lot less if he was slower.

Xu Yin stopped him with a smile: "Have you forgotten what I said before? The current ship is too risky to go to sea. You can't be prepared to sacrifice every time you go to sea, right? Since we are going to go to the ocean, we must first prepare the ship that is suitable for the ocean. To build a ship, you can sharpen your sword and chop wood without missing a beat."

In addition to the ship itself having to withstand wind and waves, the ship must also be equipped with some self-defense equipment, what if it encounters pirates? If you can't beat it, it's still in vain?

With a large reserve of iron ore in hand, there is no need to worry about cold weapons.

But if we go to the ocean, cold weapons alone may not have a deterrent effect.

It would be great if you could find saltpeter mines. Ask the system to get an upgraded gunpowder recipe and make the simplest muskets and cannons.

I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I must at least have the means to fight back.

Just when Xu Yin was thinking about "Where can I get saltpeter?", the ventilation system "tickled" the task of "exploring the southern barbarian land" again.

Xu Yin:

Could it be that the map rewarded by the system really marked the mineral deposits?

Then she must complete this task!

Your Majesty, where is the cement road?

Yan Kejin saw that she finally remembered about traveling, smiled, and marked the cement-hardened road section on the map:

"The cement road out of the city has been paved to Longcheng, but maintenance will take ten days and a half depending on weather conditions, so the passable road section only reaches Yongfu County now." Even so, Xu Yin was quite surprised: "It has been paved to Dragon City? That will be very soon!"

The three teams were divided into three teams and worked non-stop for three days and nights. Everywhere they went, they hired some strong local laborers. The more people they had, the faster they would go.

After a pause, Yan Kejin added with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not a corvee, it's someone who paid money."

Xu Yin believed what he said.

After spending this time together, she saw his kind side beneath his cold exterior.

At this rate, we will be able to leave for Yong County by this time next month.

By then, the main road from Fucheng to Yongxian County can be said to be smooth, and the carriage will no longer be dusty when running.

In a happy mood, Xu Yins rhythm of working on the motor became much faster.

Until Wang Bo sent someone to tell her that some of the crops in the experimental field were ripe, he asked her if she wanted to go and have a look.

After getting married, they lived in both the Wang Mansion and the Xu Mansion. Except for her taking care of the experimental field at the beginning, it was basically left to the care of the nanny.

Of course I have to go and see it.

In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the rapeseed flowers in the fields bloomed and faded, and now they have grown full of rapeseeds.

The corn is ripe.

The newly promoted retting method is very effective. Although each plant still only produces one corn cob, when the corn husks are peeled off, the exposed corn cobs are about twice as big as before. The grains are golden and plump, and the yield is definitely higher than in previous years.

Seeing Uncle Wang and others smiling from the corner of their mouths to their ears, Xu Yin was also sincerely happy.

Her five acres of test field has the best growth among all fertile fields.

Uncle Wang kept mumbling at first.

Although he is just a tenant farmer of the palace, the master can do whatever he wants, so there is no room for him to say anything.

But after all, it was five acres of fertile land. Therefore, after the prince planted the crops, he came over every day to look at it uneasily. Even if there were people in the fields responsible for weeding and fertilizing and he was not required to do any work, he couldn't help it.

At this glance, we can see something unusual:

The crops that the princess planted were the same every day, and they grew like the wind.

Especially for rice, before the harvest season, the rice ears are so heavy that they bend the heads. And when you look closer, you can see that the rice seeds in each acre of land are different.

Come closer and take a look, be good! There are actually six varieties planted in the three acres of rice fields, some are long and thin, and some are green and green.

No wonder! How could a princess be willing to work in the fields for a long time, not just to eat, but to plant flowers just to look beautiful?

Looking at the two acres of land next to the rice field, one of them is planted with mulberry trees.

Mulberries have been ripening since last month, and they were picked and sent to the royal palace. It is said that the royal chef used them to make jam and snacks, and they tasted very good.

Each household in Zhuangzi was given half a catty, which they gave to their children as tooth sacrifices. But the children were so happy that they even encouraged their parents to plant mulberry trees in front of and behind their houses.

After hearing about it, the princess encouraged everyone to plant mulberry trees, and the palace collected the mulberry leaves at market price.

The silkworms who feed on mulberry leaves are enjoying themselves during this period. They are buried in the pile of fresh mulberry leaves and eat non-stop, making themselves white and fat.

The first batch of silkworms have begun to spin cocoons. People in the palace said that these silkworms will be spun into silk to make clothes in the future.

Silk and brocade clothes were so valuable that the tenant farmers working in the silkworm houses did not dare to be careless about them.

Fortunately, there is a sericulture manual with pictures drawn by the princess. As long as you raise silkworms according to the picture book, there will usually be no mistakes.
