The first question Ning Ke got was farming, she glanced at the question, and the whole person was stunned for a moment - this kind of question? This can also be called a question? This is too ..... It's so easy, isn't it?

The question in the question is how to break the imbalance between the development of Xishu medicine and crops!

Speaking of which, this is a deep-rooted historical legacy that Xishu has been facing for thousands of years, in the magical land of Xishu, there are many mountains and swamps, belonging to the hot and humid land, rich in all kinds of scarce drugs, and becoming a medical powerhouse between several countries.

However, in this magical land, most of the land cannot support crops, whether it is rice, wheat and other crops, even fish and shrimp and other ingredients, there are basically few suitable places to grow.

Therefore, all along, Xishu's rations have been exchanged for food through trade with Dayan, and medicines. Dayan also took the fatal handle of Xishu and greatly reduced the price of Xishu's scarce drugs, causing Xishu drugs to lose their due role among several countries.

It stands to reason that in this era of underdeveloped medical skills in ancient times, a place like Xishu where medicine flourished should be a powerful weapon to grasp the lifeblood of other countries, but because of agricultural problems, it had to be handled by Dayan.

Far away, not only is Xishu in such an embarrassing situation, the North Vietnam in the northwest is perennially sandy, crops cannot survive, it is far from enough to rely on nomadic life, and grain has to be exported from Dayan; and the same is true of Dongtang and South China Sea on the southeast coast, the seaside wind and waves invade from time to time, and the crops that are finally produced will also be drowned, and eventually they have to buy from Dayan.

In this way, the fatal handle of the four major subject countries was held in the hands of Dayan, and Chu Junyue also took advantage of this to hold the four major subject countries in his hands, as long as there was a slight change, all commercial contacts were immediately cut off, and no subject country dared to joke with the people of the whole country, and basically obeyed obediently.

Xishu came up with such a topic this time, and it is estimated that it has been used for a long time, the purpose is to find a capable person who can get Xishu out of control. In the era when science and technology were basically scarce in ancient times, this problem may be very difficult, but for Ning Ke, a high-achieving student from modern times, it couldn't be simpler.

Her grandfather in modern times is a master of traditional Chinese medicine, but her grandfather is from the Agricultural Research Institute, she grew up in this scholarly family since she was a child, and she is naturally familiar with it, and she dare not say that she is proficient, but at least she knows a little about fur.

The reason why Xishu can't produce crops is that the root cause is the acidity and alkalinity of the land, as long as she can solve this main problem, everything can be solved.

Probably seeing that Ning Ke had been looking at the topic and thinking, and had not started writing, the people present gradually began to show disappointed and impatient expressions.

"Will she be like the princesses before?

"Look at her belly, it's already so big, she should be about to give birth, right?

"But isn't it? don't be reckless if you don't have this ability, don't bury Xishu in the hands of a female streamer!"

......

Listening to the surrounding discussions, King Ping showed a smug smile on his face, and he knew that she was just a good-looking vase! Without Chu Junyue, she was nothing!

Hum!

She didn't need them to do anything, she could have cut herself off!

King Xian also couldn't suppress the joy in his eyes, laughed softly, and seemed to be kind enough to advise Ning Ke, "Your Royal Highness Princess, if you can't answer, then don't force it, let's go home and give birth!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers burst into laughter, "Yes! If you can't answer, go home and give birth! You can't be the prince, you are still the princess of Xishu, and the court will still support your mother and son!"

There was another burst of even more gloating ridicule.

Ning Ke was silent, sitting calmly in her position, her expression was calm and wise, compared with those sinister and cunning faces, she was out of the dust, like a snow lotus on a high mountain, coldly overlooking all living beings, not to be blasphemed.

Everyone felt the cold and arrogant gaze, and the laughter suddenly stopped, and they looked up in the direction of Ning Ke, and what caught their eyes was the deep and cold eyes, reflecting their own unbearableness.

It's so cold!

This princess is not a soft persimmon, she is arrogant!

Only then did the ministers shut up one after another, stopped talking, and stared at her with a solemn face to see what she would do next.

"Finished laughing?" Ning Ke glanced coldly at the ministers in the hall, his lips hooked coldly, and his nasal voice hummed softly, "On the day of the prince's assessment, on such a solemn occasion, the ministers of the Xishu court openly mocked the princess, which is really extraordinary!"

The reproach in her words was obvious, and the ministers on the spot looked pale and unhappy, but they didn't dare to say it anymore.

King Xian smiled, "Princess, how can you say that! You are just worried about you, princess! Why should the princess be angry because she can't answer!"

"Who told you that this palace won't?" Ning Ke sneered and asked rhetorically.

King Xian choked and was stunned for a moment, "You...... Will you?"

"It's a coincidence, Hongu really knows!"

Ning Ke raised his chin, smiling proudly and steadily.

When the ministers heard this, their faces changed, but Sima Yun, the only one who ruled Su Nei, stood up excitedly when he heard this, "The princess really knows, please say it quickly!"

Ning Ke hooked her lips, her clear and cold eyes overflowed with a trace of wisdom and confidence, and she met everyone's eager eyes, and her red lips opened lightly.

"The reason why Xishu can't grow crops is essentially a problem of soil quality, this palace has been checked when it first entered the border of Xishu, the soil is acidic, so crops basically can't survive, but there are many medicines that are suitable for such soil. If you want to solve this problem, you have to solve it at the root. ”

"What does acidity mean?" Sima Yun frowned, puzzled.

Ning Ke smiled, "This is difficult to explain, this palace just needs to tell you how to solve it." ”

"Then how to solve it? Please princess don't sell Guanzi, this is a major matter related to the livelihood of the people of Xishu!" Sima Yun was in a hurry, if someone hadn't stopped him, he would have run to Ning Ke to ask in person.

"Lime!"

Ning Ke spit out the word lightly, Sima Yun blinked, as if he understood, "Lime can solve the soil problem?"

"That's right!" Ning Ke nodded, "In the Wula Mountains of Xishu near Dayan, there is a large amount of limestone, you can send someone to collect and refine it, and then sprinkle it on the land before sowing to balance the acid and alkali." Now it's just spring ploughing, move a little faster, and still have time to catch up. ”

Sima Yun didn't care if it was right or not, he immediately took the pen and ink, and made notes in a hurry.

"The princess said that it can be solved with limestone, and this king believes that it is really useful for the time being, but the land of Xishu is vast, where can I get so much limestone?" King Xian squinted his eyes and embarrassed her with a displeased face.

Ning Ke didn't even look at him, and sneered: "The palace hasn't finished speaking, what is the imperial uncle anxious about? Since there are not so many limestones, let's just choose plants suitable for acidic soil." ”

Sima Yun is the most agitated one, he is like a student who is eager to learn, immersed in writing hard, and he almost wrote down how much Ning Ke said.

But as it was written, Ning Ke suddenly stopped talking, Sima Yun twisted his eyebrows, and said urgently: "Go on, princess! What kind of plant is it?" The old minister will arrange it immediately, and don't delay the spring ploughing!"

Ning Ke sleeved his hands and smiled, "The palace has finished answering, the question is just asking how to grow crops, and the rest, let's talk about it later!"

"Princess!" Sima Yun was anxious, "This is a big deal, don't joke!"

"Lord Sima, this palace is also taking the exam now!" Ning Ke smiled slyly, "Time is limited, and this palace has no choice!" But when this palace passes the assessment, this palace will naturally have a lot of time to discuss with adults in detail!"

The meaning of her words is already obvious, if the ministers vote that she has passed the agricultural examination, then she will naturally give it all, but if the ministers embarrass her, she will not say it.

finally met someone who could change the soil, how could Sima Yun let it go, and immediately shouted, "The old minister voted, and the princess passed the assessment!"

Some of the ministers present were from the party of King Xian and King Ping, so they naturally didn't want to vote, but Ning Ke raised the matter to the big issue of the people's livelihood, if they didn't vote, then the people probably wouldn't be able to spare them.

This vote still has to be cast.

Peng Ge counted the votes with a smile, and then happily announced, "The first exam, unanimously passed!"

"Princess, look ......" Sima Yun stared at Ning Ke with burning eyes, "It's time to tell the old minister the rest!"

"Absolutely. Ning Ke raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then said: "Xishu is mountainous, tea and citrus can be planted on the mountains, and in the swamps and wetlands, rice can be grown, and acid-tolerant carp and silver carp can also be raised in the rice fields. In this way, whether it is a hill or a swamp that no one cares about, whether it is dry land or paddy fields, all can be utilized, and the palace does not dare to guarantee that Xishu can become the land of fish and rice, but the output of crops can at least be self-sufficient!"

She spoke briskly and methodically, and the ministers were stunned when they heard it, and before she finished digesting a sentence, she had already started the next sentence, sprinkled with enthusiasm, from soil quality improvement to water management, professional and reasonable, and people couldn't help but sigh after listening to it - it turned out that it could still be done!

Long before her, I don't know how many people have tried, but basically all of them have failed, if she said it is really effective, then she is the first hero of Xishu!

"Okay, good!" Sima Yun was excited, took the finished cheat sheet and left, and he didn't even listen to the remaining votes for the assessment, and directly told Ning Ke, and then took his hand and went down to arrange it.

Next is the second item - business, although Xishu has developed medicine, but it is not as good as other countries in terms of business, especially by the constraints of food, and is basically at a disadvantage in commerce and trade.

Therefore, the topic that Ning Ke drew this time naturally wanted to change this status quo.

It stands to reason that if the problem of food is solved, this problem of commerce and trade will also be solved, but Ning Ke found that she had overlooked one of the most critical problems before! That is the reason that directly restricts the development of business!
