The remnants of the sun on the horizon have just fallen, and the inky night covers the earth.

"I always feel that this matter is not so simple."

After listening to Yin Zhige's narration, Zhong Xiaoshu pursed his lips slightly, and his fingertips lightly tapped the desktop, which was only revealed when he was contemplating.

"What's wrong?" Yin Zhige frowned and asked.

"Treating the symptoms is not the root cause."

Zhong Xiaoshu raised his eyes and looked at him, word by word.

"There are many people in the frontier, and even if food is sent, far water can't save the fire, and this situation will still occur in the future."

"When the time comes, maybe it will not be the soldiers who will be famine, but countless people."

Yin Zhige pondered for a moment and nodded, obviously agreeing with her statement.

Judging from the past style, the local government may suppress the matter and not report it.

It is equivalent to leaving a cancer, and when it recurs, it will cause a larger area of consequences.

"But now even the soldiers can't eat, and the war over there is tight, so it's okay for a short time, but it's a little tricky for a long time."

Yin Zhige frowned, "In the current situation, how to manage the famine people." ”

"That's a real problem." Zhong Xiaoshu echoed on the side, and said with a lot of trouble.

“…… Wait a minute. ”

Yin Zhige seemed to have suddenly figured out something.

"Since you said so, come to think of it, there is already a way."

Yin Zhige raised his eyebrows and chuckled, turning his head to look at Zhong Xiaoshu with a tacit understanding.

"In my opinion, it is very likely that the people there do not know how to farm and how to farm."

Zhong Xiaoshu paused and continued: "So, I'm going to go and have a look first, understand the situation and then come back to tell you." ”

"I'm with you." Yin Zhige said almost quickly.

“…… Poof. Zhong Xiaoshu looked at his serious face, and he couldn't help but be happy.

"What are you laughing at?" Yin Zhige's face sank slightly, and he pursed his thin lips.

He cared about her very much, how could he let her go alone? Besides, she was just in good health, and it didn't take long for her to do so.

Not only was this girl not satisfied, but she dared to make fun of him.

"I'm not going to go with you."

Zhong Xiaoshu didn't see the dark and inky face, Yun Danfeng waved his hand lightly.

"I'm going to follow the second prince and go to see it together."

Yin Zhige's face darkened.

"I'm afraid that if you encounter an accident, he won't be able to protect you, so I have to look at you to rest assured."

Yin Zhige suppressed his emotions and said slowly.

The implication is that the third prince may still have a back hand there, which is too dangerous.

"I know you're worried about me." Zhong Xiaoshu also smiled and said seriously.

"But your current status is not suitable for going to the frontier.

You are the emperor, so many national affairs have to worry about you, where can you disperse so many days to the frontier? ”

Yin stopped Gomer and fell into a tangle.

What she said does make sense, it makes sense, it seems to be the best way to look at it now.

But he just wasn't at ease.

"Okay, okay, what are you worried about."

Zhong Xiaoshu smiled and said angrily.

"I'm not a child, I know how to take care of myself, and I have a lot of soldiers with us, don't you still believe me?"

She gently climbed up Yin Zhige's arm and said with a half-shaking.

Yin Zhige was still silent.

"Look, now you can't get out, and I don't think you can rest assured when others go. You know, I'll take care of it, won't I? ”

Zhong Xiaoshu looked up with a smile.

"Hmm." Yin Zhige nodded reluctantly after all and agreed.

"But you have to take care of yourself. If there is really an accident, let the second prince and them go with them, and you will come back to me safely. ”

Yin Zhige admonished.

His bite was extremely heavy, and obviously, Zhong Xiaoshu also listened to it.

"Don't worry."

There are not many words needed, the time is very tight and there is no room for delay.

Zhong Xiaoshu set off very quickly and went to the frontier with the team of the second prince.

What catches the eye, except for the towering city, is a barren land.

All the way, all the way.

On the side of the ancient road in the city, you can vaguely see hungry people with yellow faces and thin muscles, some of whom are already lifeless.

Zhong Xiaoshu's brows furrowed more and more, and the situation was even more complicated than she imagined.

"We should have brought some sweet potatoes and sweet potato seeds with us on this trip."

Zhong Xiaoshu said slowly to the second prince who was walking aside.

The second prince's face was solemn, obviously knowing the seriousness of the matter, and replied.

"Brought some. But it's not a lot, and it's enough for the people of a city to sow seeds two or three times. ”

"That's enough."

Zhong Xiaoshu's eyes flashed a glimmer of light, and he looked at the towering city wall.

"Now the matter is more serious than I imagined, and I don't have time to return to him.

I've just looked at the soil here and it's just right to plant sweet potatoes. ”

"Moreover, this side of the frontier is blazing all year round. Heat, crops grow quickly, easy to harvest, and are very suitable for the current situation. ”

"That's a good idea."

The second prince also smiled quite happily, "Let them be self-reliant, and it will relieve a lot of pressure on the imperial court." ”

"So, I'll have to trouble you about the rest." Zhong Xiaoshu turned around and smiled.

"Huh?" The second prince had a bad premonition, "You say, what's the matter?" ”

"Gather all the people of the city together in the hour of tomorrow.

When the time comes, I will teach them how to plant these seeds, how to harvest them, and how to be self-reliant. ”

The second prince breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that this was the case, and it was easy to do.

The next day, the sun scorched the earth as if it were stained with vermilion.

Zhong Xiaoshu is giving the people a detailed introduction to the growth laws and growth cycles of these two crops, occasionally operating them in person, patiently and friendly.

He also sent his attendants to distribute the seed equally among the households.

There was no lack of respect on the faces of the people, and they listened attentively.

By the time he was finished, it was past noon.

Zhong Xiaoshu's mouth was a little dry, and he took the water handed by the second prince at the right time, but his face was full of joy.

"It's finally settled." Zhong Xiaoshu said with emotion.

"Hmm." The second prince smiled, "It's still thanks to you." ”

In fact, according to this cycle, those people should have sown their seeds by now.

The growth cycle of sweet potatoes is not long, and if it is better, it should grow once before the second batch of grain and grass arrives;

If it's almost there, then when the third batch comes, how can it grow? ”

Zhong Xiaoshu lowered his head and pondered.

Seeing that she was thinking seriously, the second prince didn't interrupt, just stood aside and listened patiently.

"Observe for two more days, and if everything goes well, we will go back and report all this to the emperor."

After Zhong Xiaoshu completed the plan again, he said lightly.

Sure enough, on the second day when the second batch of grain and grass arrived, the first batch had already been harvested.

This caused an uproar. Wave.

You must know that this not only solved the problem of shortage of food and grass in the army, but also changed the situation of the people in the border areas who had been hungry for a long time.
