Happy peasant girl

Chapter 367 Chu Xuan Returns (4)
Most of the land in Mandala Villa has been built into houses, or turned into flower fields and ponds. The real land is only in the secret garden, but the food there is only enough to sustain the consumption of the villa and the two gardens for a year. It is absolutely impossible to let Chu Xuan pull away.

"It's enough for urgent use. My palace still has more than 1 mu of land in the capital, but they are all scattered. I have already planted sweet potatoes. When the time comes, sweet potatoes and grains will be eaten together. I believe it will last longer. .Xi'er, I have one more thing to ask you." Chu Xuan said with a look of embarrassment on his face.

He didn't know what Linqingxi would think of him after he said it, but now is an extraordinary period, and some extraordinary measures must be taken.

"Brother Wei Xuan, tell me!" No matter what Chu Xuan wanted to say, as long as he could do it, Lin Qingxi would definitely do it.

"I want you to hide your farming techniques from now on, don't teach others, and don't let outsiders know your specific methods of increasing grain production. Once these methods are learned by people from Qixuan and Wu, then Chu State really has no chance of turning defeat into victory." Chu Xuan said seriously.

"But many years ago, I told Master and Mistress the specific method of increasing grain production, and the emperor also knew about it. Didn't he still make an order?" Lin Qingxi didn't hide anything back then, but she didn't understand why. After so many years, the people of Chu State still did not have enough to eat.

At first, she wondered if her farming method was not suitable for the land of Chu State, but everything she planted herself was high-yield, so why couldn't it work when it came to others?

"The emperor you speak of didn't tell the people the specific methods, but only roughly told the people to weed, fertilize and irrigate, but he didn't say how to fertilize effectively and irrigate better, even some agricultural officials didn't know At that time, he was afraid that these methods would be learned by people from other countries, which would be detrimental to Chu State. He also sent people to monitor you, but he didn't know that Master Shu really loved you, so he let you go Go do something." Chu Xuan never thought that Chu Huai would let Lu Zhiming be in charge of monitoring Linqingxi, because he was afraid that she would tell the enemies of Chu State how to increase grain production.

Lin Qingxi was also taken aback. She had never doubted Lu Zhiming, nor did she know that the current emperor would send Lu Zhiming to monitor her. She has never been an ambitious person.

The ancients are right, the emperor's heart is the most difficult to guess, and a companion is like a tiger. Thinking about Lu Zhiming's indulgence and love for him for so many years, Lin Qingxi is very grateful.

"But if this is the case, if others don't learn it, I will starve to death. No wonder the people of Chu State have been struggling with the famine these years, and even the potato seedlings can't reach their hands. Could it be that all of this Did the emperor do it on purpose?" Lin Qingxi guessed.

"That's right, and he also knows about the reconstruction of Linjia Village. He also knows that the rice yield in the rice garden is higher than that in other places. I have to buy the grain in your hands before him, otherwise the grain is likely to It will be received by him in the national treasury, and the military rations for millions of soldiers will not be found." Chu Xuan came over in a hurry because he heard Lu Zhiming say that the emperor wanted rice from the rice garden, so let him act first.

"The emperor won't just bring the army to grab the food, right?" Lin Qingxi is not yet capable of contending with the king of a country. If Chu Huai really has to send troops to collect the food, even if all the people under her command are highly skilled in martial arts, they may not be able to last long. .

"No, even if he really wants to use strong means, he will not rob a common people's food with open swords and guns, but he will let Master Lu come. After all, you are masters and apprentices. I believe he will use a very low price. Price buys food from you. But now that all your food belongs to millions of troops, he has nothing to say, and these people are the ones who want to keep his country stable." Chu Xuan's eyes were filled with disdain and mockery , although he has recognized his ancestors, he still doesn't like Chu Huai, his father.

"Is this your own guess, or..."

"This is what Uncle Lu personally found me and told me. He also asked me to buy grain from you before the emperor. If your grain is obtained by the emperor, I don't know who will get the grain. Now the court of Chu State The hall is not safe."

After all, Lu Zhiming was Chu Huai's most loyal courtier, but he was also the one who knew him best, so as soon as he guessed the emperor's intentions, he quickly asked Chu Xuan to come here to buy food from Lin Qingxi.

Lin Qingxi never cared about what the court of Chu State was like, but cared about the situation in other countries, and it was also because she wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge, but now it was not only about her personal revenge, but also about the lives of more people.

Once the war broke out again, Chu State would either perish, or build the strongest city wall so that other countries would never dare to covet it again.Where to go, although she can't control it, but she can help a lot, she doesn't want to be a subjugated slave.

"Brother Weixuan, I will listen to you. I will never let my method of increasing food production be revealed, and I will also tell the villagers and the people below. However, even if these methods are learned by others, I will solve them in the shortest possible time. Some high-yield grains are grown in China, so you don’t have to worry that the soldiers of Chu State will have no food to eat. I will always be your strongest grain backing. If you need money urgently, you can go to my elder brother and third brother. He must be happy to help. Ruoxin, go and call Jasmine here!" One war is over, but another war has just begun, and this time Chu Xuan cannot lose, and she cannot stand on the sidelines, because this war is very important to anyone For the people of Chu State, it is a matter of life and death.

After Jasmine came in, Lin Qingxi whispered some instructions to her, Jasmine nodded, and went out quickly.

When there were only two people left in the room, Lin Qingxi brought some snacks to Chu Xuan, wondering if he had eaten in a hurry.

"Brother Wei Xuan, in fact, you can just ask Ye Ying or Ye Feng to come. You are the commander-in-chief of the army now, and things in the army must be very busy." Lin Qingxi looked at Chu Xuan with some distress, his eyes were full of tears. With bloodshot.

"It doesn't matter, this matter is more important!" In fact, there was only one reason why Chu Xuan came in person, that is, he wanted to take a look at Lin Qingxi, even if he was only alone with her for a moment, he was already satisfied.

That day, after Lin Qingxi left the battlefield, he saw her hesitation and struggle in her eyes. He understood that she may have a deep friendship with him, but this "love" may not be the relationship between a man and a woman.

He no longer wants to know the answer, or he is even a little afraid to know who Lin Qingxi will choose, as long as she doesn't tell her personally, he feels that he still has hope.

That hope is not to stand by her side as her senior brother, her friend, and her family, but as a man, a man who will love her wholeheartedly until death.
