Cut off my army's food supplies? I'll open a portal between the two worlds and max out my

evening.

Li Wen arrived near the farmland on both sides of the Tumu River.

There are many members of the Anxi Army busy at work here. Under the system of the Production and Construction Corps, all members of the Anxi Army are integrated into the military and civilian population.

They are currently carefully inspecting the weeds and pests along the field ridges.

They do this work three times a day because the new crops planted in the fields are their future.

At the beginning, when the general said that the yield of these potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn could exceed that of the wheat they grew by more than ten times, the members of the Anxi army did not doubt it.

They believed it was probably a divine seed brought by the general.

However, they themselves did not have a clear understanding of what a "Celestial Seed" actually meant.

Until the crops in the field began to sprout and grow... until now, when the harvest is almost here.

The seeds Li Wen bought were specially selected as extra-early maturing varieties, so the crops in the field were almost ready to be harvested in about seventy days.

The sight of the abundant crops covering the acres left all the members of the Anxi Army dumbfounded.

They cultivated this land themselves and planted the seeds by hand, but they never imagined it would grow like this.

"My goodness! These magical seeds the general gave us are truly amazing! If my father saw them, he'd probably worship these crops in the fields every day."

Liu Erdao laughed heartily and teased his father.

Wang Xiucai, who was standing nearby, retorted, "If your father saw how rudely you treat this sacred object, he'd probably poke your ass with a stick."

"I stabbed you first!"

Liu Erdao was furious and turned to grab Wang Xiucai.

Wang Xiucai had already prepared for this, so he moved aside to hide.

Liu Erdao naturally gave chase, while Wang Xiucai ran away.

When Wang Xiucai saw someone appear in front of him, he quickly dodged to the side.

Liu Erdao initially wanted to pry open the person in front of him, but he immediately became obedient when he saw the person's face clearly.

"General... why did you come here?"

Liu Erdao stood there awkwardly, looking like a schoolboy who had done something wrong, despite his burly appearance.

Wang Xiucai, who was standing nearby, walked over and said in a serious tone, "Liu Erdao, you lazy bum, you never do your job properly, and now the general has seen you!"

Upon hearing Wang Xiucai's words, Liu Erdao became extremely anxious, but he was tongue-tied and didn't know how to explain.

Seeing that Liu Erdao's neck was turning red, Li Wen laughed and said, "Alright, don't be so nervous. You two didn't do anything wrong, why are you so nervous?"

Hearing Li Wen's words, Liu Erdao breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Wen looked at the weeds in their hands and said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you, the crops in the field aren't that precious, there's no need to put so much effort into them?"

These two people would probably have to weed two acres of land to collect this much weed.

The fertilizers and pesticides in the fields were all supplies that Li Wen brought from the modern world, so there was no need for them to take care of them personally.

Liu Er and Wang Xiucai had now formed a united front: "General, we usually have nothing to do after training, so we're just going to the fields to stretch our muscles and digest our food."

Weeding and catching insects in the field was not a task assigned by Li Wen, but rather an action initiated spontaneously by the members of each group, mainly because they cared too much about the grain in the field!

They have eaten potatoes and sweet potatoes before.

A solid staple food! It'll fill you up!

Seeing their enthusiasm, Li Wen didn't dampen their spirits, but instead asked, "Liu Erdao, Wang Xiucai, I have a task for you two."

"General, what are your orders?"

The two of them immediately stood at attention.

This is also a new posture that the Anxi army is learning.

"Didn't the brothers send their families back home before? Not long ago, they wrote back home, and some of the brothers' families wanted to come to Anxi Town to visit them... Judging by the time, they should be arriving in Chenyang County soon. You two know the other brothers' families well, so I'd like to send you over to meet them in advance."

Upon hearing Li Wen's words, Liu Erdao and Wang Xiucai immediately assured him, "General, rest assured! We guarantee we will complete the mission."

"Alright, go find Jiang Tian to collect your equipment, and then follow Black Stone's caravan to Chenyang County."

"no problem!"

The main credit for this matter goes to Black Stone's cleverness. When he left Chenyang County, he didn't just leave without a trace. Instead, he left behind a trading post and would regularly send his clansmen to organize caravans to do business there.

Just then, the reply from the post station reached the station staff, who brought the news back to Anxi Town.

If it weren't for Blackstone's thoughtful decision, those family members who came directly to visit their relatives might have encountered danger.

After Liu Erdao and Wang Xiucai set off, the other members of the Anxi Army had an even more important mission to carry out.

Li Wen had to go to Peshawar for business, so he handed over today's harvest task to Jiang Tian.

As dawn broke, all 800 members of the Anxi Army, except for those who were on duty and unable to leave their posts, had arrived.

"start!"

Without wasting any words, Jiang Tian issued the order directly.

Everyone, armed with tools and sacks, rushed into the fields in groups, their expressions more serious than during a battle.

They knew very well that this mission was tantamount to fighting for the future! Even though the general was not present, they could not slack off.

Everyone started digging potatoes and sweet potatoes following the steps they had been trained on.

When they dug up the soil, a pile of potatoes and sweet potatoes was revealed, which made everyone extremely excited.

"many!"

"Is this what a divine seed is?!"

"With the immortal seed the general gave us, we'll never have to worry about going hungry again!"

Some people shed tears of emotion, but it didn't stop them from working.

With the efforts of hundreds of people, the potatoes and sweet potatoes were completely harvested after a full day.

Since the crops are harvested in sequence, it is convenient to weigh and store them in the warehouse afterwards.

Jiang Tian stood there, suppressing his excitement, waiting for the statistics from the warehouse.

"Captain Jiang!!"

Soon, a statistician ran over, his voice trembling, and said, "The results are in! Potatoes yielded 5000 jin per mu! Sweet potatoes yielded 4500 jin per mu!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian was so excited he almost fainted.

This is an astronomical figure! Back when he was farming in his hometown, if his family's wheat could yield 300 jin per mu... that would be an absolutely bumper year!

What does a yield of 5,000 jin per mu mean?!

It should be noted that Anxi Town has only reclaimed a portion of its farmland so far. With the expansion of the Tumu River area, it is not a problem to reclaim tens of thousands more acres of fertile land.

The area that can be transformed in the Gobi Desert is even larger.

In other words, Anxi Town will no longer have to worry about food problems!

The immortal seed that General brought is truly amazing!

Soon, the news that potatoes yielded 5000 jin per mu spread throughout Anxi Town.

At this moment, everyone in Anxi Town, whether they were working in the workshops or herding livestock, was stunned, and then they burst into thunderous cheers!
