Once a war breaks out, food and grass will be the biggest problem.

Although with the previous sorghum, the people did not have to worry about food and clothing for the time being, the food rations of the border officers and soldiers was a big problem.

Food and grass have always been the first priority in wars.

Now because Xiliao suddenly launched a war, food suddenly became tight, and the emperor was really worried at the moment.

Jian Qingyu actually had something else to tell Gu Yanbei. After all, she hadn't settled the matter yet.

Coarse grains such as sweet potatoes, she grows an improved version of sweet potatoes, that is, mutated sweet potatoes. Originally, the yield per mu can be about 2,000 kilograms, but the mutated sweet potatoes can reach 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms. This is still in her experimental stage and has not been obtained yet. It was confirmed that she did not dare to tell Gu Yanbei about this matter, nor could she inform the emperor.

The couple were busy each other. At night, Jian Qingyu prepared the things that Prince Ning needed in the space. Fortunately, the space moved quickly and she prepared more things than she expected.

After boxes of things were prepared, Jane moved to the bedroom.

After sleeping for a short while, Jian Qingyu got up and told Aunt Jin to wait at home for people from Prince Ning's residence to move things, while she went directly to Zhuangzi.

After Jian Qingyu rushed to Zhuangzi, he ordered the head of the village to dig out the sweet potatoes.

"It's not time yet for the princess, she's still big. It's better to leave it a little longer, so the yield will be higher." The steward in charge of the sweet potato field persuaded Jian Qingyu when he saw Jian Qingyu digging sweet potatoes at this time.

"This batch of sweet potatoes is different from ordinary sweet potatoes. They will mature earlier, and the time is almost the same. But what you said is not unreasonable. So, dig a ridge first to see the situation." Jian Qingyu did not insist on his own way, but Listen to the banker's advice.

The steward heard what Jian Qingyu said and took action himself.

When he dug the sweet potatoes out of the ground and saw the size of the sweet potatoes, the steward was really surprised. Unexpectedly, as the princess said, the sweet potatoes were bigger than anything he had ever seen. "Princess, this sweet potato weighs three to four kilograms. The yield from this acre of land is estimated to be several thousand kilograms." The steward excitedly held the dug sweet potatoes in front of Jian Qingyu.

They have never seen such a big sweet potato before. The most important thing is that not only is this one big, but there are also densely packed piles like this in the ground. This is definitely an unprecedented harvest.

This kind of seed is mutated. Of course, Jian Qingyu knew that the sweet potato was not small, but she was also happy when she saw the bright smile on the steward's face.

"Since there is no problem with these sweet potatoes, let's hurry up and dig them up and bag them." This may become part of the food supply.

"Yes." The person in charge immediately ordered the matter to continue. At first, some people would murmur, but after seeing the size of the sweet potatoes, those voices disappeared. Everyone devoted themselves to digging sweet potatoes and filling them. middle.

Looking at the bags of sweet potatoes, Jian Qingyu seemed to have seen the dawn.

She was asked to put a bag of sweet potatoes on the carriage, and she was ready to go to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Princess Ning'an is here. She said she has brought you good things. Do you want to see her?" Wang Defa reported in a low voice.

"Who did you say is here?" Emperor Tianchu looked away from the sand table and looked up at Wang Defa.

"Princess Ning'an, it seems she has brought something here. It looks chubby." From the appearance of the bag, he also knew why the emperor was worried. When the war broke out, the thing he was most worried about was food and grass.

"Let her come in." This was the first time that Mrs. Gu asked for an interview, and he still wanted to meet her.

"Yes." Eunuch Wang quickly walked into the imperial study with Jian Qingyu and a bag of unknown items.
