The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 68

However, with the skill book and scene simulation function, she felt that it shouldn't be too difficult to fiddle with a generator.

She combed through the existing materials at hand and found that only silicon could not be replaced by other materials, but it is an indispensable material for making solar panels.

Fortunately, the energy point is still relatively rich, so I simply bought a batch of solar panels in the system mall and started tinkering with solar motors.

Seeing that the concubine was busy and no one reminded her that she couldn't think of going home, it was King Jinnan's turn to be bitter.

But the concubine was right in thinking about it. Cement and magnetite are new things. If she invented them and threw them to him, if he also walked away and left them alone, no one would understand.

While the concubine was busy, he quickly promoted a few confidantes, and after training them, let them lead their own teams to pave concrete roads and open iron mines, so as not to bother him in the future.

Perhaps the concubine was too busy to think of him, so King Jinnan would give her gifts to show her presence whenever he was free.

Sometimes it is a piece of fine jade seed material, sometimes it is a box of seawater pearls.

Xu Yin is busy, so she doesn't have time to think about it, she just thinks that the people below are filial to him.

Seeing pearls, I couldn't help but think of the Maritime Silk Road, and asked with great interest: "Is there any merchant ship that has trade with Nanyang?"

It didn't exist before, but her mention gave Yan Kejin an idea.

Yup!Beidi can do business, but what about Nanyang?
"However, Transcendence is a place of exile, and the conditions are worse than those of the Southern Man. Further south, there are small countries. Does the princess think that they will be rich?" He frowned.

"Suppose we can do business with Beidi, what do you think?" Xu Yin asked him back.

Beidi and Nanman are not as rich as the Central Plains.

But Beidi is dominated by nomadic people, with herds of cattle and sheep. The most important thing is meat, followed by dairy products. Cotton is also growing well.

Nanban is poor, but it also has its own special products, such as tea, pearls, and Shoushan stone.

With the retting method contributed by Xu Yin, the rice will not be barren for three seasons a year.If the two places can do business, it will only make each other better off.

Xu Yin saw that he was thoughtful, and continued: "It's just trade, and I don't care whether it is rich or not. If you are not rich, you can get more things back."

Xu Yin drew a blueprint for him.

As a result, as soon as the man straightened his mind, he wanted to set up a fleet of ships to do business in minutes, as if he would lose a lot of money if he was a little slower.

Xu Yin stopped him with a smile: "Did you forget what I said earlier? The current ship is too risky to go to sea, so we can't be prepared to sacrifice every time we go to sea, right? The boats are built, sharpening the knife is not the same as chopping firewood."

In addition to the ship itself having to withstand wind and waves, the ship must also be equipped with some self-defense equipment. What if you encounter pirates?If you can't beat it, it's still useless?

With a large reserve of iron ore in hand, there is no need to worry about cold weapons.

But in the case of Yuanyang, cold weapons alone may not have a deterrent effect.

It would be great if I could find saltpeter ore, ask the system to mix an upgraded gunpowder formula, and make the simplest muskets and cannons.

People don't attack me, I don't attack others, if people attack me, I must at least have the means to fight back.

Just when Xu Yin was thinking about "Where can I get saltpeter", the ventilation system "ding" the task of [Exploring the Land of the Southern Barbarians].

Xu Yin: "..."

Could it be that the map rewarded by the system really marked the deposit?

Then she must complete this task!

"My lord, where is the concrete road paved?"

Yan Kejin saw that she finally remembered about the trip, smiled, and marked the hardened road section on the map:

"The concrete road out of the city has already been paved to Longcheng, but the maintenance will take ten days and a half months depending on the weather, so the passable road section has only reached Yongfu County so far."

Even so, Xu Yin was quite surprised: "It's all spread to Dragon City? That's very fast!"

"The three teams are divided into three days and nights to rush to work. Every time they go to a place, they will also hire some strong local laborers. The speed will naturally be faster if there are more people."

After a pause, Yan Kejin added with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not a corvee, it's paid for."

Xu Yin believed what he said.

After getting along for this period of time, she saw his kind side under his cold appearance.

"According to this speed, we can set off for Yong County by this time next month."

At that time, the main road from Fucheng to Yong County will be unimpeded, and the carriage will no longer be dusty when running.

In a happy mood, Xu Yin's rhythm of working on the electric motor is also much more lively.

Until Uncle Wang sent someone to say that some of the crops in the experimental field had matured, and asked her if she wanted to go and have a look.

After getting married, Wang's Mansion and Xu's Mansion ran at both ends, except that she would take care of the experimental field at the beginning, and then basically handed it over to the nanny to send someone to take care of it.

"Of course I'm going to see it."

In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the rapeseed flowers in the fields bloomed and withered, and now they are full of rapeseed.

The corn is ripe.

The newly promoted fertilization method is very effective. Although each plant still only bears one corn cob, the corn cob exposed after peeling off the husk is about twice the size of the original one. The corn kernels are golden and plump, and the yield is definitely higher than in previous years.

Seeing Uncle Wang and others grinning from the corners of their mouths to their ears, Xu Yin was also sincerely happy.

Her five-acre experimental field has the best growth among all good fields.

At first Uncle Wang kept muttering.

Although he is only a tenant farmer of the palace, the master can do whatever he wants, so there is no room for him to talk too much.

But after all, it is five acres of fertile land. Therefore, after the prince's mansion planted crops, he would not worry about coming to see it every day. Even if someone in the field was responsible for weeding and fertilizing, he couldn't help it if he didn't need to work.

Here's what's unusual:
The crops planted by the princess are different every day, growing like the wind.

Especially for rice, before the harvest season, the ears of rice are heavy and the heads of the ears are bent.And if you look closer, the rice seeds in each mu of field are different.

Get closer and take a closer look, obediently!There are actually six varieties planted in the three-acre rice field, some are thin and long, and some are green and green.

No wonder!How could a noble concubine be willing to go to the fields to farm, not for eating, but for looking good like planting flowers!

Look at the two acres of land next to the rice field, one of which is planted with mulberry trees.

The mulberries have been ripening since last month, and they were picked and sent to the palace. It is said that the royal chef uses them to make jam and snacks, and the taste is very good.

Each household in Zhuangzi was given half a catty, and it was a tooth offering for the children in the family, but the children were so happy that they didn't eat enough and encouraged their parents to plant mulberry trees in front of and behind their respective houses.

After the princess heard about it, she encouraged everyone to plant mulberry trees, and the palace collected mulberry leaves at the market price.

The silkworm babies who feed on mulberry leaves are very comfortable during this time. They are buried in the pile of fresh mulberry leaves, eating non-stop, making themselves white and fat.

The first batch of silkworms began to make cocoons, and people in the palace said that these will be spun into silk to make clothes in the future.

Silk brocade clothes are so precious, the tenant farmers working in silkworm houses dare not be careless about it.

Fortunately, there is a silkworm breeding manual drawn by the princess. As long as the silkworms are raised according to the picture book, usually nothing will go wrong.
