As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 781 October Harvest
It is October, the autumn is in full swing. The sky is as blue as a mirror, and white clouds are floating leisurely, gathering and dispersing. The sun penetrates the clouds, and the wheat fields are shining with golden light.

Now is the harvest time.

Jiang Ran and Jiang Nancheng walked in the countryside in low-key private clothes, with gauze hats on their heads.

The weather in October was still a bit hot, and many people wore sun-protective hats. There were several Yulin Guards following behind them, and the guards were all dressed in low-key clothes.

When the country folk saw this group of people, even though they saw that the clothes on the two people in front were not something that ordinary people could afford, they thought they must be some high-ranking official, but they did not think of the prince who was busy with all kinds of affairs in the lord's mansion.

Jiang Nancheng was playing with a black sickle between his slender fingers.

His hands were not pampered. After entering the spiritual academy, the young master did a lot of farm work, and a thin layer of calluses formed on his palms. However, the white hair was inherited from the Jiang family and it was difficult to get tanned.

So his skin was as fair as ever, and his aristocratic air could not be concealed even by his ordinary farmer's clothes.

When Jiang Nancheng threw the sickle in his hand up, its shape changed to either a pair of scissors or a hoe.

This was given to Jiang Nancheng by his master Yuan Xiang from the inner peak of Lingyuan. It is called Wanxiang Farm Tools and can be transformed into hundreds of commonly used farm tools.

Jiang Ran remembered that the "Popular Agricultural Book: The Chapter on Smart Agricultural Tools" also contained an introduction to all kinds of agricultural tools and how to make them.

Although there are not many spiritual fields in Dasu, some basic spiritual farming tools are still necessary.

For example, moraine spiritual soil, although rich in ice spiritual energy and beneficial to the growth of many ice spiritual plants, but because the soil is relatively hard, most spiritual plants still prefer a loose environment. At this time, farmers need to loosen the soil frequently.

However, it takes a lot of effort to break the ice with an ordinary hoe. If you want to plant spiritual plants such as ice Ganoderma lucidum on a large scale in the future, you will need to create a spiritual hoe with special functions.

It’s a pity that there are not many equipment refiners in the big abode, so the creation of spiritual farming tools was shelved.

Just waiting for the weapon refiner apprentice sent to the Feng family to return after completing his training.

"Sister, this year's red crystal wheat harvest seems to be pretty good."

It has been sunny recently, which is good weather for people. The wheat in some fields has matured quickly, and the farmers have already finished harvesting and spread the wheat in their yards to dry.

"The power of the red crystal wheat monster seems to have become stronger." Jiang Ran nodded slightly, "Besides, the farmers only planted red crystal wheat for the first time two years ago, and they lacked experience. In addition, there were too few brown grass, so many red crystal wheat bugs could not be killed, and a lot of red crystal wheat was wasted. And last year was a drought year, so the harvest was of course poor. In comparison, this year's red crystal wheat harvest is certainly gratifying."

Jiang Nancheng had spent most of his time in Mingxiao City before, so he didn't have a deep understanding of Dasu.

Jiang Nancheng bent down and held a handful of wheat ears. Each red wheat grain was clearly plump. After peeling off the skin, the crystal wheat looked like red gems.

"Sister, the price of red crystal wheat seems to have gone up in Mingxiao City this year." Jiang Nancheng actually didn't specifically inquire about the price of red crystal wheat. The reason he knew about it was because one day he suddenly discovered that pasta made with red crystal flour appeared many times in the dining halls of the academy.

Later, his servant Ma Yunzhen told him that someone seemed to have discovered that long-term consumption of red crystal wheat could strengthen the body, and if eaten by children, it could also increase the probability of becoming a monk. As a result, many people were chasing after it, and the price went up as a result.

Jiang Ran thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Dasu has cooperated with Chen Wenfei's grain shop. This year, the other party has been requesting Dasu to transport more red crystal wheat to his grain shop, and even took the initiative to raise the price to one pound of pure crystal!
Not only red crystal wheat, someone also found out that the reason why the dishes at Yulongxuan are so delicious is most likely because of the use of Ze Salt, so Ze Salt is also quite popular in Mingxiao City. "This year's harvest is also thanks to Director Li."

Jiang Nancheng knew that it was Li Yiniu who cultivated the first spiritual insect in Dasu, and it was also a precious brown grass spiritual insect.

You know, the most annoying thing about grain crops is insect pests. There are some pesticides on the market, but without exception, these pesticides are harmful to the human body.

But using brown grass to repel insects is different. It does not act directly on the crops, but relies on the unique fragrance that only insects can smell to attract the insects to run away from the crops.

"Your Highness the Prince, Lord Nancheng, I have something to report." When the servant Ma Yunzhen heard the two of them mention the brown-grass, he thought of the news he had heard by chance and couldn't help but speak out.

The two glanced over and felt two pairs of similar eyes staring at them.

Lord Nancheng's gaze was not bad. After all, the two had been together for a long time, and Lord Nancheng had a gentle temperament, so he had long been accustomed to it.

But the look of His Royal Highness the Prince was different, calm yet majestic, which made Ma Yunzhen a little nervous, but he remained calm.

Jiang Ran turned her eyes slightly and looked at Ma Yunzhen.

I remember that when he followed Jiang Nancheng, he was only three or four years older than Nancheng. Three or four years later, this servant boy who was adopted as Li Fusheng's godson has grown up and is quite reliable like Li Zongguan.

However, Zhuang Xiangli, the Mingxiao student she won back, was sent by her to protect Jiang Nancheng. Now that Nancheng has returned to Dasu for quite some time, this darling has not been seen, and even none of the two contracted beasts are guarding Jiang Nancheng.

Jiang Ran's eyes dimmed slightly, and he retrieved a "contract of selling oneself" from his sea of ​​consciousness, revealing a subtle smile.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Jiang Ran regained his composure and said to Ma Yunzhen, who was a little uneasy.

"About pests." Ma Yunzhen knelt on one knee, his Adam's apple rolling to moisten his dry throat. In fact, he didn't know whether his news would be useful to Dasu. "It is said that the territories of Leiluo and other places are suffering from pests. The value of the potion for pest control has skyrocketed. I think if the brown grass is exported, Dasu should be able to make a fortune from this opportunity."

"Lei Luo..."

Jiang Ran lowered his head and thought.

Lei Luo is located in the southern part of Cang Miao Continent, west of the Han Yuan Land.

Jiang Ran didn't know much about the Leiluo area, but what Ma Yun said was right. This might be an opportunity. After all, Dasu is short of money everywhere now.

But if they sell brown clip grass directly, it can only be a one-time business, because a brown clip grass can live for at least seven or eight years. If during this period, someone makes more seeds from the brown clip grass, then they can cultivate and grow brown clip grass themselves.

In addition, brown grass can survive in the Yunshang area, but not necessarily in the Leiluo area.

If you rush to sell brown grass without figuring out anything, and the buyer fails to grow the brown grass and complains, it will ruin the reputation of Dasu.

However, there are already pharmacists and alchemists in the county who are developing brown clover pills, which may be able to make this happen.
