Qian Qianqian still insisted, if she hadn't gone to see this matter in person, she would never have let it go, her temperament, really only Xiao Mohan could suppress it.

"Okay, the slave will accompany you out, and the slave and maid also know that you have good intentions, but if this Dingyuan City can really grow food, it will be planted a long time ago, and it will not wait until today, so I am afraid that if you go to see it, you will be even more disappointed."

Xue Yi had no choice but to nod her head in agreement, but before leaving, she still reminded Qian Qianqian, but she still failed to make Qian Qianqian change her mind.

Qian Qianqian changed her clothes and went straight out of the General's Mansion, although it was not lively outside, but the previous ruins had been cleaned up, so it was normal.

They were all returning to Dingyuan City for the first time, and they were not familiar with the situation in the city, so if they wanted to find suitable fields, they had to be brought by locals.

Xue Hua is the general of Dingyuan City, and there must be a lot of official affairs to deal with, so Qian Qianqian thought about it and thought of the previous county order, anyway, he was timid and afraid, and he couldn't eat the court's money in vain, so it was reasonable for him to do something.

When the county magistrate learned about this, he was very enthusiastic, Qian Qianqian was able to live in the general's mansion, it can be seen that his identity is not ordinary, he offended Qian Qianqian last time, and was thinking about how to redeem the merits, but he didn't expect Qian Qianqian to come.

"Girl, our Dingyuan City is a small frontier city, and it doesn't rain a few times a year, and the water source is not bad, most of the fields can't grow anything, only a field on the edge of Qinghu Lake is not bad."

The county commander walked behind Qian Qianqian's side, leaned over slightly, and explained cautiously, with a friendly smile on his face, revealing indescribable flattery.

Qian Qianqian just walked straight forward, and didn't look at the county order at all, this kind of cowardice and fear, she only flattered and flattered people, she saw a lot, so she didn't take the words of the county order to heart at all.

"In that case, then you can take me there."

Qian Qianqian spoke slowly, just spit out a sentence lightly, and the county magistrate immediately nodded, made a "please" gesture, and only knelt down to kowtow to Qian Qianqian.

Xue Yi and a few dead soldiers followed behind, carefully protecting Qian Qianqian, although those enemy forces of the central country have been annihilated, but there may be fish that have slipped through the net, so you must always be vigilant.

This Dingyuan City is not big, so I didn't go far, and I arrived at the place, although this is already a good field in the county order, but it is also overgrown with weeds, and the land is very dry, and it is very barren.

"Didn't you grow food here before?"

Qian Qianqian looked around, this place was very desolate, except for this green lake, it was all dry sand and weeds, not even a footprint, as if no one had been here.

"In the past, there was no shortage of food in the city, so who would come here to grow it? The water in this green lake is used by the people around this area to feed their livestock, and if you farm here, it will be more convenient to irrigate, but in this way, the water source may not be enough. ”

The county magistrate's face was embarrassed, but as long as this land can grow food, it will not be barren until now, this is also no way, if it were not for Qian Qianqian to mention, no one in Dingyuan City would have thought of growing food here.

"Can't you grow some drought-tolerant crops?"

Qian Qianqian was a little puzzled, although the climate here is a little dry, but it is not rainless, there is no water source at all, you can't grow fine grains, you can grow coarse grains, anyway, as long as it is something that people can eat.

"The most drought-tolerant place here is the bud valley, but even if it is a bud valley, the land is too barren, and the bud valley is too thick, and the people did not want to eat it in the past, so they used it to feed livestock."

The county magistrate cautiously explained that it seems that when Xiao Guo did not fight in the past, the life of the people here was not bad, but this war made it necessary to tighten their belts.

"Keep this land for me, and it will be useful in the future."

Qian Qianqian thought about it in her heart, and suddenly spoke, with a touch of cunning in her eyes, which made people completely incomprehensible, even Xue Yi didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

The county magistrate took her to other places again, and she found that this place was indeed as Xue Yi and the county magistrate said, there was yellow sand everywhere, and there was no grain to grow at all, no wonder the grain shops sold old rice and some coarse grains, it seems that the people here used to eat by transporting rice from other places.

"Girl, you've written down all the officials you said, but what else do you have to order?"

The county magistrate has been following Qian Qianqian carefully, no matter what Qian Qianqian said, he listened carefully, only took out a pen and paper, and wrote down every word, which was really serious.

"It's nothing, the piece of land next to Qinghu, I want it, how much silver do you want, you tell me directly."

Qian Qianqian said lightly, with a smile on her face, and walked forward by herself, her eyebrows were cold, making it easy for people not to approach.

"That piece of land was originally a wasteland, if you want it, take it, where do you need any silver?"

The county order is very refreshing, although Qian Qianqian is not the general's wife, but he can also see that the relationship between Qian Qianqian and Xiao Mohan is not ordinary, so he doesn't dare to make a mistake.

"After all, that piece of land is not mine, just take it like this, it's not good, if it's an ownerless land, then you have the final say, don't you want to earn more money for the government?"

Qian Qianqian's face did not change, her hands were behind her back, and the smile on her face intensified.

"Everything here is General Xiao's final say, the lower official is just a county order, how dare you be the master of the general? No matter what piece of land you fancy it, as long as you want it, then take it, and the lower officials have no objection. ”

The county magistrate patted his chest and said very seriously, he groveled like this, in the final analysis, it was also to please Xiao Mohan, and he also wanted Qian Qianqian to help him say a few more kind words in front of Xiao Mohan.

"You're a smart man, you're flexible, and you have a bright future ahead of you."

Qian Qianqianer lowered her eyes and glanced at the county order lightly, although it was a compliment, it could come out of her mouth but it was inexplicably mocking, and the county order didn't seem to understand.

Back at the General's Mansion, Qian Qianqian locked herself in the house and asked Xue Yi to find her a bag of corn seeds, not knowing what to do.

"Miss Qian, the county order has said that even if it is to plant budding rice, that land is not very suitable, what are you doing with this corn seed?"

Xue Yi was very puzzled, but she couldn't see the reason, so she could only ask Qian Qianqian.

"I want to improve this seed to make it a drought-tolerant bud rice, and at the same time, the taste is not so rough, and when the time comes, it will be a good grain when it is planted in the ground, and when the harvest is harvested."

Qian Qianqian said with great interest, in fact, she had this idea for a long time, but she kept fighting, she didn't have any chance, now this Dingyuan City is temporarily peaceful, she also has to play her own usefulness, she can't stay in this general's mansion all day long, and do nothing.

"Are you sure about improving the seeds?"

Xue Yi was a little skeptical, she didn't question Qian Qianqian's ability, but felt that for so many years, no one had done anything on this bud seed, and now Qian Qianqian might take a lot of time to do it.

"Let's give it a try, maybe it'll work?"

Qian Qianqian is relaxed, she is not afraid of failure at all, if she does not succeed, then she will come again, until she succeeds, anyway, she has time.

"Well, if you need anything, just tell the slave and the slave to do their best."

Xue Yi also took a step back, Qian Qianqian finally stopped thinking nonsense, and she was also relieved, as long as Qian Qianqian could take care of herself, it didn't matter what she did.

"Hmm."

Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, she also understood in her heart that the reason why Xue Yi supported her so much was because she felt that this matter was not dangerous, and she could stay in this general's mansion for a long time.

In fact, it is the first time to improve the seed Qian Qianqian, she has seen it on TV in modern times, although she doesn't remember the specific steps, but she still has an impression of the general points, so she slowly groped, maybe it can be effective.

For several days, Qian Qianqian locked herself in the room, got a lot of dirt from the outside, and then didn't go out of the room for half a step, except for Xue Yi who came in to bring her food, no one was allowed to come in every day.

That night, Qian Qianqian flipped through the ancient book in her hand, which she asked Xue Yi to find, and there were some records about seed improvement in it, although it was not bud rice, but it could also be used for reference.

There was a sudden sound by the window, she raised her head, looked over there a few times, the sound disappeared, there was no movement, she thought she had heard it wrong, and lowered her head again.

A moment later, with a loud bang, a black shadow broke through the window and swooped towards Qian Qianqian, who didn't have time to dodge and was choked by the black shadow's neck.

"Xiao, Xiao Heng."

Qian Qianqian stared at the person in front of her, tore the corners of her mouth, squeezed out a few words from her mouth, and her brows were twisted into a dead knot.

Xiao Heng was covered in blood, his face was covered with blood, his eyes were red, and he looked like he had crawled out of a pile of dead people, with a hideous face, as if he would break Qian Qianqian's neck if he was not careful.

Xue Yi also heard the movement outside, immediately kicked open the door, rushed in, and when she saw this scene, her face suddenly changed greatly, she stopped, and confronted Xiao Heng.

"Xiao Heng, let go of Miss Qian, otherwise I will let you die a bad death."

Xue Yi pointed at Xiao Heng's face, and without a good airway, her hand quietly reached into her sleeve.

"Hmph, what are you, you dare to talk to this king like this, you get out of here, you are a lowly body, you are not worthy to stand in front of this king."

Xiao Heng sneered, stood behind Qian Qianqian, held Qian Qianqian in front of him, and his long pointed nails were embedded in the flesh of Qian Qianqian's neck, and his attitude was still arrogant.

"What kind of prince are you? It's just a prisoner, the defeat is like a mountain, you have become a defeated general under General Xiao, and if you come to attack Miss Qian again, it is not only useless, but also incompetent. ”

Xue Yi was also unceremoniously, it seemed that she knew something, raised her head, her face was full of indescribable contempt, and the dead soldiers also rushed over, and the entire general's mansion suddenly became lively.

"If it weren't for Xiao Mohan's plot, how could I have ended up in such a situation? Your master is an out-and-out vile villain. ”
