Not to mention, there are many places in Daqian that are not suitable for planting.

For example, Danzhou and Yunnan are the most representative regions.

The same is true for areas such as the vicinity of both.

Although these lands have long been incorporated into the Great Dry Territory, they have always been difficult to cultivate. The reason for this is that these areas are remote and most of the land is barren.

There are even many places where the poisonous miasma is pervasive, not to mention planting, and it is extremely difficult to get out of it alive.

So much so that in these far souths, there are almost no more people living in them, except for the aboriginal and the degraded people.

"What do you think, what about the Danzhou area?"

Xu Jing asked like a roundworm in the stomach of the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper's eyes were full of surprise, but he quickly suppressed his excitement and said lightly: "Very poor, a huge place, there are not even a million people living in it. ”

"There are four places like it."

"It's a pity, if I can make full use of these regions, maybe it will be better, right?"

The old shopkeeper sighed helplessly.

"If I say, what I am looking for is that it can be planted in such a remote place?"

Xu Jing asked with a smile.

"Naturally excellent! In this way, it will be like a few more granaries out of thin air, and if they come and go, they will definitely greatly reduce the famine of the common people! ”

The old shopkeeper nodded with a smile and said.

"These are the two, bring them back as soon as possible when you're ready."

"Along the way, you can probably find it in the Tianzhu area. When you pass by, negotiate with the local people, and maybe there will be results. ”

"As for the trees, you may be able to meet them in the south direction of Cochin. You can order the king to go and buy it. ”

"There is no need for more, just 300 plants for the time being."

Xu Jing pointed out the two foods in the direction he remembered.

"Three hundred? Your Majesty, aren't you joking? That's 300 plants! ”

When the old shopkeeper heard Xu Jing's request, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and ask with his tongue knotted.

"Naturally, there will be no mistake, three hundred, I only feel that there are few. If I could, I would plant this tree in Yunnan, Danzhou, and Zhuangdi! ”

"Do you know that this tree can sustain at least four people for a year's rations."

"If I can have more, why should I worry about not having enough rice?"

If Xu Jing didn't feel that the distance along the way was not too close, he would have liked to add a few hundred more.

After all, these plants are life-saving food for Daqian!

"Bread tree? Your Majesty, why is this tree so strangely named? ”

Looking at the names written in it, the old shopkeeper was only puzzled.

After all, it was a strange name, and it was the first time he had heard of it after years of secretly walking outside the city.

"That's probably the name, but I don't know what to call it overseas."

"As for why it's called this, it's naturally called bread because it resembles a big bag and has a sweet taste, and it can be ground into flour for storage."

Xu Jing shook his head and said lightly.

"What is a big potato? This looks like a piece of puree, but can it really be eaten? ”

Listening to Xu Jing's explanation, the old shopkeeper opened another piece of paper, and what he drew during the period was a block shaped like a boulder.

The old shopkeeper stared at this thing, looking left and right, and did not think that this kind of thing could be used as food.

"Don't underestimate this thing, this thing can grow even in an ordinary barren place."

"It's much easier to grow than rice. Moreover, a piece weighs more than 20 pounds! ”

"If it can be widely planted anywhere, it will definitely solve the dilemma of my lack of food."

Xu Jingwei explained.

"Amazing, amazing!"

The old shopkeeper listened to what Xu Jing said, and couldn't stop nodding his head again and again, looking at these plants with a bright gaze.

The old shopkeeper knew very well what these plants meant to Daqian, and if he could successfully find them.

He may become a hero of the Great Cadre! You may even have a chance to go down in history!

"Huh? Your Majesty, what are these? ”

The old shopkeeper turned the pages to the back, and there were other plants drawn in them.

"There's no hurry, if you meet it, we'll wait later."

Xu Jing said lightly.

That stack of paintings is the food that Xu Jing searched according to the memories of his previous life, which can solve the crisis of the Great Dry.

Among them, there are many plants such as sweet potatoes and potatoes that were seen in previous lives.

But Xu Jing didn't choose these in the end, not because they were bad, but because the distance was too far.

One is thousands of miles away on the mainland, and the other is even more distant on the overseas archipelago.

Finding them can take a long time.

On the contrary, there are a large number of bread trees and large potatoes near Jiaozhi, and a large number of them in the Tianzhu area.

The transportation cost is not too high, and the planting place is more convenient, and it can be grown almost on the spot.

"Your Majesty, where did you search for so many plants?"

"The grass people have been away from overseas for many years, but they have never seen these amazing plants."

The old shopkeeper was amazed, and looked at Xu Jing curiously and asked.

He was very puzzled, Xu Jingqing had never set foot overseas for half a step, why he knew so much about these plants.

"It's just an occasional sight from a lost ancient tree."

Xu Jing touched his nose and said with some weakness.

"I see, I wonder if Your Majesty can tell me the title of this book? If they have the chance, they also want to find one. ”

The old shopkeeper looked at Xu Jing with anticipation on his face and asked.

Xu Jing thought about it, anyway, there was no such thing as this book in this era, so he generously said its name: "This book is called Plant Encyclopedia." Among them, there are all kinds of strange plants in this world. It's a pity that it has long since disappeared. ”

"What I can see is only a fragment."

Xu Jing's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he pretended to be sorry and said.

"I see, it's a pity. If we can have more of these books, the caravans from all over the country may be able to contribute to the problem of the grain and solve the food ration crisis that has arisen from time to time in our Daqian. ”

The old shopkeeper said with regret.

He was secretly thinking about a book from Xu Jing's mouth.

"Alright, let's go back and get ready. As for the books, I will try to draw them one by one, so that they can be distributed everywhere, and you can use them to search for plants when you go overseas. ”

】

Xu Jing nodded and said.

"In this way, the grass people have thanked Your Majesty for being there!"

Hearing that Xu Jing was willing to selflessly teach these plant illustrated books to ordinary people like them, the old shopkeeper knelt in front of Xu Jing excitedly and said.

Perhaps Xu Jing himself didn't know what such a book meant to these ordinary people.

In this world, there are countless plants, and some people are hungry and eat tea raw, so tea was invented.

But many more died of starvation and accidental poisoning.

If we have these books, what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten, people everywhere will have more criteria that can be used as judgments.

It can be said that if Xu Jing can do this, his merit is no less than that of Shennong, who only exists in mythology!
