When Shu Yan arrived home, Bai Guichen happened to be back, pushing a large cart with a lot of harvested wheat on it.

He raised his head and said to Shu Yan, "Why don't you take a good rest on the bed?"

Shu Yan sat aside, watching Bai Guichen work.

"I just went to the entrance of the village for a stroll. Although the village is considered rich, people will still starve to death in winter."

Bai Guichen smiled, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but his fists were clenched a little bit, and he said in a low voice: "The government's tax, the land rent tax, the common people can't bear it at all."

At this moment Cheng San also came back from the field, the three children and Sui Ying also came back.

After just a day or two of hard work, Cheng San got a lot of tan, and looked a bit like a handsome farmer.

Cheng San saw his godmother, and said, "This wheat will have to dry for two days, and then I'll borrow a tool next door to shell it."

Shu Yan originally wanted to cook by himself, but Bai Guichen pulled Shu Yan directly, saying that he was used to cooking.

When Bai Guichen was cooking, Shu Yan found a few stools for the workers to sit down, and she went to make tea for them.

Sui Ying has been defrauded a lot in the past two days. She was originally a woman from a wealthy family in the capital. Although she violated the rules of women's marriage and became a self-study female student, she never did heavy work.

Sui Ying drank a cup of tea.

Shu Yan asked Sui Ying, "Girl, what did you major in as a minor in the Women's School?"

This women's school in the capital is run by a strange woman, and it only accepts women to enroll, that is, to study the Four Books and Five Classics, and to count and work skillfully.

Sui Ying replied in a low voice: "I study agriculture."

Shu Yan's eyelids twitched, Sui Ying continued to laugh and said, "I also learned from the chemical fertilizer developed by the supervisor."

Back then, Shu Yan mainly worked on the purification of soil-made ammonia fertilizer. The main ingredients were cow dung and soybeans. The raw material of cow dung alone was very limited.

Most farmers still use traditional farmyard manure, if they want to make it.

She also tried the purification of phosphate rock, and the purified fertilizer worked well, but the cost was higher. She also tried to extract nitrogen fertilizer from the air, but due to the lack of many key chemicals, it could not be done at all.

There is no way for a person to create a product that surpasses the times with his bare hands.

They were so short on time.

Seeing Shu Yan in a daze, Sui Ying asked, "Have you thought about the past?"

Shu Yan said in a low voice: "I spent a long time in Jiangnan with old man Chen, trying to solve the fertilizer problem, but it didn't work."

Sui Ying was very interested in this matter.

"For what reason?"

Shu Yan looked at Sui Ying, and she whispered, "What we lack is time, not a year or two, but decades or hundreds of years."

Cheng San took a sip of tea, and suddenly saw a pigeon standing on the courtyard wall.Cheng San narrowed his eyes slightly, and he whistled towards the pigeon.

The pigeon fell into Cheng San's hands, and Cheng San took out a letter from the pigeon's leg.

Cheng San opened it and looked at it, then smiled and said to Shu Yan: "Linxun sent Long Yun to Guizhou in the southwest, that's a good place."

Southwest is the territory of that King Chen, but Guizhou is mostly dominated by Nanban chieftains, and the mountains and rivers are poor, so it is not a good territory at all.

It seems that Lin Xun is also very afraid of Wang Longyun.

Shu Yan nodded, and she continued: "How many years do you ask him?"

Cheng San laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Godmother is really in a hurry, I'll go to the house and write a letter."

Cheng San finished speaking and went back to the house,

Shu Yan said to Bai Guichen suspiciously: "When did this kid get in touch with my second nephew?"

Bai Guichen put down the freshly fried dishes, and said to Shu Yan, "I don't know if the godmother really knows, or if she's just pretending, you three sons, I'm afraid they have their own ideas."

Shu Yan smiled, but was not angry.

"It's good to have your own ideas. You can all have your own ideas. I just want to..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng San came out of the room with a smile on his face but a tentative look on his face.

Cheng San squatted down and said to Shu Yan: "Godmother, let me ask you something, if what we do in the future hurts your husband and sons, what would you think?"

Shu Yan couldn't think of many things, but she still hesitated for a second, and then said: "They are no longer my husband and children, when they abandoned me in Hangzhou, this fate has been broken. "

Shu Yan didn't know why, but when he said these words, he didn't feel much disturbance in his heart.

But Sui Ying at the side was stunned.

"The godmother is really free and easy."

In fact, Shu Yan knew that these free and easy words were gentle words, if they were put in other people's mouths, they would be cruel, vicious, and unworthy of being a mother.

Cheng San continued to ask: "But if we go all the way, with old man Chen, we must be fighting to the death."

Shu Yan paused, she turned her head to look at Cheng San, as if wondering why this brat would ask such nonsense.

Shu Yan said: "If that day really comes, I will let him die with dignity."

Cheng San burst out laughing when he heard this, and poured a cup of tea for Shu Yan himself at the table.

"The godmother is indeed not an ordinary woman."

When he arrived at Chen Sheng's place, he led the imperial army all the way back to the northwest, heading for the temporary capital Taiyuan.

I don't know if it was due to fate, or someone did it on purpose.

They borrowed Xiangcheng.

Shu Yan has just finished grinding the flour in the past few days, and is going to buy some things on the street and store it.

She took the big family to the street, but saw that the originally dirty street suddenly became clean, and the peddler on the side said to Shu Yan: "Marshal Chen and the eldest princess are coming today! More than usual."

Others said: "That's not true. I heard that I used the road to pass by, but it is also very good to see the beauty of the Eldest Princess. I heard that the Eldest Princess was the most beautiful woman in the capital when she was young."

Cheng San teased Shu Yan, "Our godmother was also a beauty before."

Naturally, Shu Yan kicked Cheng San unceremoniously, and they continued to walk forward. After a while, they heard the sound of horseshoes ahead, and they hurriedly hid in a small alley.

Through the narrow alley and the crowd, Shu Yan saw Chen Shengzhi on the horse.

The expression on Chen Shengzhi's face was very indifferent, but he was very polite to greet the people around him.

Cheng San couldn't help but sighed with emotion: "I think Chen Shengzhi was a very handsome guy before coming here, godmother, you really took advantage."

Shu Yan stretched out his hand and pinched Cheng San, and said in a low voice, "You brat, there were as many people chasing after your godmother back then."

This guy Cheng San is really excited.

"Then if you give the godmother another chance, would you still choose this old man Chen?"

Shu Yan smiled.

"Of course I will."
