26 Haiwang and his wife traveled north to Jingjing to offer turtle grass and miscellaneous grains

Dear friends, half of this month has passed, the monthly ticket is less than 400, and there are still 100 votes away from the top 10 on the list, please vote for all the votes in your hand. Thank!

------Off topic------

As noon approached, several luxurious carriages came to the south gate of Jincheng, escorted by thousands of personal soldiers, and entered the city in a mighty way.

On this day, it rained in the sky, the spring rain was as expensive as oil, and Jincheng, which had been dry for half a month, finally ushered in the second rain of spring.

The couple left Jincheng in a carriage with hundreds of cartloads of seeds and saplings.

He Jinghai said: "In the future, we will have good things in our fiefdom, and we will also send them to Brother Yan and Sister Jing for free." ā€

Hu Ye sighed with emotion: "Brother Hai, the potion that can make turtle grass seeds resistant to cold, drought and sand must be very expensive. Brother Yan and Sister Jing are really generous to us. ā€

Three days later, He Jinghai and Hu Ye obtained three hundred catties of turtle grass seeds, which was more than twice the expected amount, ensuring that every desert in the Northland fiefdom could be planted.

"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, it's pretty much the same!"

"Lady, I am wrong for my husband, I promise to come back to accompany you before the end of the day."

"You're busy until late every day, and I'm not in bed to tell you where to say?"

"Lady, don't tell your husband serious things in bed in the future."

"I told you the night before, you don't know what you think, you didn't listen!"

"The turtle grass is such a big thing, and I didn't tell my husband in advance. This is a husband who wants to cheer up the husband! ā€

"You're going to do this in broad daylight, I'm ashamed!"

He Jingyan waited for everyone to leave, and urged Li Jingjing to go back to Baihao Courtyard in broad daylight, and when she arrived at the courtyard, she was beaten and carried to the bedroom.

He Jinghai held Hu Ye's hand and said softly: "Ye Niang, they are my younger brother and younger sister, they all call you sister-in-law, you just call them the same as me." ā€

He Jingyan smiled: "Sister-in-law Hu, don't call me the prince." ā€

Li Jingjing quipped: "Sister-in-law Hu, you are now married to Brother Hai and named the princess, and you still call me a princess, change your mind quickly." ā€

With the guarantee of He Jinghai and his wife, Li Jingjing will not be afraid of being suppressed by the vendors in the future.

He Jingyan nodded and said, "Okay." ā€

He Jinghai followed: "Whoever dares to smuggle grain and fruits to sell them in the city government outside the Northland, will be severely punished if caught!" ā€

Hu Ye's eyes were sincere, and he said seriously: "Princess, we know what you mean. You can rest assured, we are not heartless people, and we will not do anything that harms the interests of Longbei. ā€

Li Jingjing deliberately explained: "Brother Hai, sister-in-law Hu, our husband and wife invested millions of taels of silver in Longbei, and they pointed to selling grain and fruits to recover a little cost. ā€

He Jinghai hurriedly nodded in response.

He Jingyan said the conditions that he had discussed with Li Jingjing a long time ago, and said: "Brother Hai, we will give you seeds and saplings, and we don't want you to pay a copper coin, but you have to promise that you can't sell the grain and fruits they grow to cities outside the Northland. ā€

When Lin Bi'an heard this, he knew that the two princes would discuss the price of turtle grass seeds next, so he retreated with the baby-like turtle grass.

He Jingyan said in a low voice: "My wife's seeds are all soaked in potion, not ordinary seeds. My fiefdom, the Longbei Desert, is much larger than your fiefdom desert. I'm afraid that there won't be enough seeds for tortoise grass. ā€

He Jinghai looked at him eagerly and said, "Brother Yan, you can help my brother and I beg Sister Jing and ask her to give her some turtle grass seeds." ā€

Hu Ye bowed and begged: "Princess, my family's fiefdom desert is bigger than the grassland, please give more turtle grass seeds." ā€

"Thank you, princess." Lin Bi'an actually cried with joy, and stroked the turtle grass with both hands, as if to kiss them a few times.

Li Jingjing only nodded and said, "Okay." You can go, but you can't put your life into it, you can only work for four hours a day, and rest the rest of the time. If you don't obey, then I'll send another officer. ā€

Lin Bi'an was so anxious that he was about to cry, and said, "Princess, this turtle grass is not grass, this is an omnivorous food that can kill people." Such a heavy agricultural matter is related to the rations of thousands of peasants in Longbei, and the lower officials must go in person. ā€

Li Jingjing's heart was once again shocked by Lin Bi'an's dedication to farming, and persuaded: "Lin Lao, planting grass in the desert is an extremely hard errand, you are so old, you still stay in Jincheng, just let your grandson go." ā€

"Hurry up." He Jingyan hurriedly went to help Lin Bi'an, who was in tears, but the old man refused to get up without Li Jingjing's consent.

Lin Bi'an's old eyes fluttered and fell to the ground, kowtowed heavily, and shouted: "Princess, please send the lower officials to the desert of Longbei to plant turtle grass, and if the lower officials don't plant turtle grass in the desert of Longbei in this dynasty, they won't return to Jincheng!" ā€

He Jinghai and Hu Ye looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with great joy. This trip, excluding the potatoes, buckwheat, soybean seeds, and seedlings I just obtained, just knowing that turtle grass can control sand and produce food, it is too right.

Li Jingjing said confidently: "The turtle grass seeds I soaked in medicinal solution can survive, and after a few years of planting, they can turn the desert into soil. ā€

Lin Bi'an raised his voice and said urgently: "Princess, the turtle grass can survive in the desert and produce such full ears?" ā€

Yuyu originally wanted to study turtle grass to produce 300 catties of grass powder per mu before Li Jingjing could plant it in the desert of the fiefdom, but sand control and grain planting were important matters that would be solved immediately, and Li Jingjing was not in a hurry.

Li Jingjing said expressionlessly: "It's very low, about one hundred and fifty catties, and it's only one hundred catties when ground into grass powder." ā€

How could Lin Bi'an let the powder fall to the ground, spread out the rough palm and pick it up, and then put it on the side of his mouth to lick it with his tongue, there was no sweet and sour taste, the taste was worse than wheat, thinner than buckwheat, the excited pleura was undulating, and he glared and asked: "Princess, how much is the yield of turtle grass per mu?" ā€

Li Jingjing said slowly: "The things wrapped in the ears of turtle grass cannot be called grain, but can only be said to be miscellaneous grains similar to buckwheat. As he spoke, he picked up the ears of grass in front of Lin Bi'an's eyes, rubbed his fingers, and a little bit of powder that was blacker than buckwheat fell out of it.

At this time, He Jingyan became excited, and couldn't help but hold Li Jingjing's hand, and said, "Lady, can turtle grass produce grain?" ā€

"This grass looks like grass, but it's much shorter than grass." Lin Bi'an couldn't wait to stick his face to the turtle grass, carefully stroked the blades of grass with both hands, and suddenly exclaimed: "It's actually an ear, is there food in the ear?" ā€

"You're smart enough to think of where it is." Li Jingjing instructed Li Huan to go to the garden to dig up a few turtle grasses, so that everyone could see the turtle grass with their own eyes.

He Jingyan rolled his eyes and asked, "Lady, the grass planted in the sand at the corner of the garden is turtle grass?" ā€

"Eighty percent of what you see isn't turtle grass." Li Jingjing shook her head, turtle grass is a new grass formed by Yuyu's hybrid of several wild grasses, which has never appeared in this world.

He Jingyan used to fight in the north all the year round, and thought about it carefully, and said: "Lady, I have seen wild grass growing in the desert, I don't know if it is turtle grass?" ā€

"Have you ever heard of tortoise grass?" Li Jingjing saw that everyone shook their heads, and they didn't sell it, and said with a smile: "Turtle grass is a kind of grass that lives in the desert, and its character is like a turtle, it grows when it rains, and shrinks when it is dry. ā€

When Lin Bi'an heard this, his old eyes shot brightly, and he was more than ten times more excited than He Jinghai, rubbed his hands and walked over, and said hurriedly: "Princess, tell the lower officials what to do." ā€

He Jinghai came at the right time, this time as long as he wants, the fiefdom of Beidi can control sand at the same time as Longbei.

She had asked Yuyu from Yaofu to come up with a way to quickly turn the desert into a land where food could be grown since last winter, and it wasn't until a few days ago that she had an answer.

In Li Jingjing's previous life, the country used methods of planting grass and trees to control desertification, but it took many years to be effective.

There are many deserts in Longbei, especially Dunhuang and Yumen, which are full of deserts, and there are sandstorms and tornadoes every year, which swallow up the good soil and turn it into a desert.

"Nope." Li Jingjing shook her head and said, "But I have a way to turn the desert into soil." ā€

"The amount of sandy land is not very large, and even if potatoes are grown all year round, there is not enough for farmers to eat." He Jinghai was so anxious that he clasped his hands and asked, "Brother and sister, do you have any potato-like crops that can grow in the desert?" ā€

Li Jingjing replied: "The grass on the grassland must support the herdsmen's cattle and sheep, and cannot be cultivated into fields to grow potatoes. Potatoes cannot be grown in the desert. We can harvest potatoes in the sandy soil of Longbei, and the sandy soil in the north should be the same. I built yƬ haige to let the peasants of the fiefdom grow potatoes in the sandy land. ā€

Lin Bi'an was puzzled: "Princess, most of the fiefdoms of the Sea King are grasslands and deserts, can grasslands and deserts grow potatoes?" ā€

The next day, Lin Bi'an, the chief agricultural officer of Longbei, participated in the conversation between He Jingyan and He Jinghai to discuss fiefdom affairs.

Li Yunxiao glanced at Li Jingjing quickly, after coming to Longbei, his clothes were all bought by Li Jingjing, which were newer than the ones He bought for him in Chang'an, and when he got married, he had to become He Yijue's purchase, and his heart was a little sour for He Jingyan to buy clothes from Li Jingjing for the rest of his life.

He Jinghai had the old princess Niu to help take care of his clothes before, but the old princess Niu must be old, and she has a conservative vision, and the clothes she bought for him are not new styles, but now that she has Hu Ye, she can almost catch up with He Jingyan in terms of dress.

He has a deep understanding of this, since he made a marriage with Li Jingjing, the clothes and accessories are all the best in Chang'an's latest style.

He Jingyan nodded and said, "Brother Hai has a sister-in-law Hu to take care of, and his clothes are more exquisite than before, looking a few years younger." ā€

Li Jingjing said with a smile: "I look at Sister-in-law Hu differently when I look at Brother Hai, she really likes Brother Hai, and Brother Hai also likes Sister-in-law Hu." This family affair is settled. ā€

He Jinghai was rarely happy, drank a few more glasses, and went to the guest house with Hu Ye's support.

After dinner, He Jingyan invited He Jinghai and his wife to rest, and sat down again tomorrow to talk about the affairs of the fiefdom.

Li Jingjing's impression of Hu Ye has been stuck a few years ago, when Hu Ye came to participate in the wedding of He Pan and Di Yujie, Hu Jing specially introduced his sister Hu Ye, remembering that Hu Ye's brows were slightly frowned, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes, and now Hu Ye remarried, his brows stretched, and he often smiled sincerely.

Hu Ye once again saw Li Jingjing, the famous medicine god in the world-shaking medical world, with admiration in his eyes, in addition to asking for seeds for her husband He Jinghai's fiefdom, he also wanted to ask Li Jingjing and several great doctors around her for medical skills.

As the sun set, the laughter of men and women came from the dining room of the main courtyard of King Yan's mansion, and He Jingyan, He Jinghai and Li Yunxiao were enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

Hu Yemei's eyes shone with tenderness, and she said coquettishly: "Brother Hai." ā€

He Jinghai held his wife's hand and said softly: "Ye Niang, you call my name." ā€

Hu Ye said confidently: "I have a handwritten letter written by my sister and niece to the princess of the protectorate, I used to have a relationship with the princess of the protectorate, I am a physician, the princess of the protector is a great pharmacist and a great doctor, we must have a common language before." This time, I must ask the princess to give more seeds for the people of the fiefdom. ā€

He Jinghai said: It seems that Brother Yan's reputation has spread outside the Chang'an City Mansion. "Not bad." ā€

Hu Ye nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, the prince." I heard that King Yan listens to the words of the princess of the protector the most, as long as the princess of the protector agrees, King Yan will definitely agree. ā€

He Jinghai has always been reluctant to ask for help, even his relatives are unwilling to speak, this is the first time he has asked for a wife after the wedding.

"Brother Yan and Sister Jing are too powerful, they can fight, farm, and make money." He Jinghai listened to his wife's persuasion, his mood was slightly better, and he said slowly: "Ye Niang, this time I asked Brother Yan and Sister Jing for seeds, you can help me say some good things." ā€

At that time, Hu Ye was sweating for Li Jingjing and his wife because Li Bing was Hu Jing's great benefactor and Li Jingjing was Li Bing's granddaughter.

The commotion in Longbei was too big, and Hu Ye listened to his relatives and patients in his hometown about the impeachment of He Jingyan and Li Jingjing by hundreds of officials.

"Lord Wang, don't blame yourself too much. You are a military general, not a civil official, let alone an agricultural official, and you didn't expect a bumper potato harvest in Longbei to be human. Hu Ye persuaded softly: "Don't talk about you, the military officials above the court are not optimistic about planting potatoes in Longbei in winter, and there are not thousands of excerpts to impeach Longbei, but there are hundreds of copies." ā€

He Jinghai said this concisely, sighed, his expression was painful, and said: "One of my wrong decisions caused the fiefdom farmers to harvest two crops of potatoes less, and so many people had frozen to death and starved to death last winter, and I am afraid it will be the case again this year." ā€

Hu Ye knew that He Jinghai's personality was very introverted and he was unwilling to confide in others, so he asked, "Why do you say that?" ā€

If He Jinghai had arrived in Longbei last winter to get potatoes and returned to the fiefdom for the peasants to plant, the peasants in the fiefdom would have harvested at the same time as the peasants in Longbei.

Who knew that the potatoes in Longbei could resist the heavy snow and cold, and they survived, and now they are about to have a bumper harvest, becoming the rations of Longbei farmers from spring to autumn, and some of them can be exchanged for silver.

He Jinghai was waiting for the yield of potatoes at that time, so he didn't go to Longbei, and then winter came, thinking that the weather was cold and the potatoes couldn't survive, so he didn't go.

When He Jingyan and Li Jingjing first made potatoes last year, Li Bing wrote a letter to suggest that He Jinghai and asked him to go to Longbei to ask for potatoes in person.

Now the situation in the south is very stable, and there is no need for He Jinghai to sit in the battle.

The tribes on the southern border of the Dingchao have been torn apart by He Jinghai, and they have not been able to form a combat power to attack the villages and towns of the Dingchao for ten years.

He Jinghai's expression was a little regretful and heavy, and said, "Ye Niang, I should have come to Longbei last year to ask Brother Yan and Sister Jing about farming." ā€

Hu Ye saw He Jinghai looking at the beautiful scenery outside the car window with a stupid gaze, and asked softly, "Lord Wang, what are you thinking?" ā€

"When were these peach and pear trees planted?" He Jinghai couldn't help but send his own soldiers to the village to inquire, and learned that it was planted in the winter of the previous year, and the saplings were issued by the Longbei government, and the people in the government said that they could eat peaches and pears in June and July, and they couldn't help but be excited.

Except that there are no ponds and small rivers, those who don't know think they have come to Jiangnan.

Both sides of the official road are planted with peach trees and pear trees, and the pink, red, and white peach blossoms and pear blossoms in full bloom in the wind, and the scenery is picturesque.

When I arrived in Jincheng, the scenery suddenly changed greatly, the crops were green, the potato flowers had fallen, and there were many potatoes in the ground, waiting to ripen and cut out in a few days to eat.

At this time, it was nearly three months, He Jinghai and his wife traveled all the way from Chang'an, the willow trees in Chang'an had already sprouted and pulled out green stripes, and the willows in Longdi had just begun to sprout.

Half a month later, He Jinghai actually brought Princess Hu Ye to Jincheng to collect seeds and saplings.

When the couple came out of the study, they passed the letter to He Jinghai, who was far away in Chang'an.

Li Jingjing glanced at her husband and said, "He is a well-known celestial star, and he is still afraid that I will call him a tiger?" ā€

He Jingyanlang laughed a few times, held Li Jingjing's little hand and put it on his chest, and said, "You said that grandpa is a tiger, aren't you afraid that grandpa will get angry when he hears it?" ā€

Li Jingjing stretched out her hand and pinched He Jingyan's ears, and said, "At that time, you didn't marry me, just a little buckwheat, of course, all for grandpa." Okay, you are so bold that you dare to grab food from your grandfather. Don't you know how dangerous it can be? ā€

He Jingyan said with some dissatisfaction: "The husband is also subject to eating buckwheat pasta, why didn't you let the cook make it for the husband?" ā€

"Yes." Li Jingjing nodded and said with a smile: "Grandpa likes to eat pasta made of buckwheat, and I used to grow it in Chang'an." ā€

He Jingyan looked puzzled and asked, "Lady, do you still have buckwheat seeds?" ā€

Li Jingjing wanted to help the Sea King Mansion and the Xia King Mansion.

He Jinghai is Li Bing's disciple and He Jingyan's cousin, and Princess Niu is such a respectable elder.

This is a way for Li Jingjing to come up with a way to help the farmers of the northern fiefdom survive for a few days.

If He Jinghai's fiefdom planted buckwheat in all seasons, the peasants would not only eat it themselves, but sell the rest to earn some silver money to supplement their families.

In this world, only farmers in very few areas of the northern region grow buckwheat, and everyone does not know the edible and medicinal value of buckwheat.

In a previous life, a diabetic patient could not eat pasta made of wheat, but he could eat buckwheat. It can be seen that buckwheat is a healthy food.

Buckwheat is sweet and cool, has appetizing and wide intestines, and dissipates qi. Treatment of colic, gastrointestinal stagnation, chronic diarrhea; At the same time, buckwheat can also be used to make noodles, dumplings, cold noodles and other foods. (Excerpt from Baidu)

Buckwheat is short-lived, likes cool and moist, is not tolerant of high temperatures and dry winds, and is afraid of frost.

After listening to He Jingyan's letter, Li Jingjing said: "The north is even colder than Longbei, and it is suitable for growing buckwheat. ā€

He Jingyan's eyes lit up, took Li Jingjing's hand to the study, and quickly wrote a two-page letter, the content of which was to send 10,000 catties of potatoes, soybeans, wheat seeds and 3,000 peach tree saplings to He Jinghai's fiefdom.

Li Jingjing looked at her husband's handsome face and said softly, "Okay." You can give anything to Brother Hai. ā€
