The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 15 Xin Liang’s Field Investigation
The group of people hurriedly hurried slowly until they finally arrived at the crossroads of Xinliang Realm at the eleventh hour of the third day. A winding path was vaguely visible.

The road inside was filled with weeds, and it was almost impossible to see the path leading into Xinliang. The horse stopped and neighed in pain after being whipped twice by the coachman. Then the carriage moved forward crookedly. Sitting inside, Gu Yuzhi felt like he was Almost falling apart.

He opened the curtain with some frustration: "Xie Changshi, I don't want to ride in the carriage anymore."

When Qi Chenglang heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward, bent slightly and looked at Gu Yuzhi: "Your Highness, would you like to come down and take a look?"

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head and stretched out his hand towards Qi Chenglang. The next second, his gaze became high.

He put his arms around Qi Chenglang's neck and couldn't help but whisper wow.

It's not that I haven't been hugged by guards before, but they are not as tall as the guards.

After getting used to such a height, Gu Yuzhi looked around and then said with a smile: "It turns out that this is how it feels to see things when you are so tall."

The first time he met the guards was when the imperial brother introduced him to the identities of the people accompanying him. At that time, he felt that the guard with the sword was really tall, standing at the back of the crowd with his head sticking out.

After he returned, he quietly inquired about it and found out that Guard Qi was eight feet tall.

Gu Yuzhi secretly imagined that if he could grow so tall in the future, his mother-in-law would be so happy to see him...

Just when Gu Yuzhi was thinking wildly, Shu Xiaohan suddenly called out: "Your Highness, please stop here for a while. Could you please have someone dig up the soil and let me take a look?"

The overgrown weeds on the Xinliang border indicate that as long as you find suitable crops, you will be able to survive.But after the group of people walked inside for almost an hour, the grass gradually disappeared, and only a few jagged short trees came into view. The soil was exposed, and there were many ditches and gullies, which should have been caused by rainwater erosion.

Gu Yuzhi hurriedly said: "Stop for a moment."

He patted Qi Chenglang on the shoulder and said, "Guard Qi, please put me down first." Then he pointed at the soil and said, "Dig here, and I will see how the soil here is different from that in Changzhou."

Everyone didn't think much about it and just thought he was curious.

Qi Chenglang took the hoe and dug down, and found that he had dug up a layer of soil without using much force. An old man squatted next to him and pinched it with his hands from time to time. His face was full of regret: "This soil can't be saved." If it’s watery, even if it’s planted, the banker won’t survive.”

This man was recommended by the Qi Prefecture. It is said that he is a famous cropper in Changzhou Prefecture. He grows the highest grain yield and the most fertile land every year.

Gu Yuzhi didn't say anything, and squatted down, supporting his chin with his small hands, blinking at the soil, and said silently: "Teacher Shu, will you see it more clearly?"

Shu Xiaohan hummed, staring directly at the soil in the old man's hand, and then smiled: "This soil can be defined as sandy soil, but it is sandy and can be used to grow things."

Watermelons, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are all crops that can survive in sandy soil, but it seems that Dasang Country does not have these crops yet.

Historically, watermelons were introduced to China earlier, while sweet potatoes and potatoes were introduced later, and at about the same time.

She had to ask the young prince to find a way to find out about these things. If there were any, these lands would not be wasted in the coming year.

As for the trees, Shu Xiaohan looked around through Gu Yuzhi's eyes, and then her eyes lit up: "Your Highness, walk forward and look at the tree in front of you."

Gu Yuzhi was very obedient and took two steps forward. He looked up at the fruit hanging on the tree, which looked a bit like pears. He turned around and asked the farmer: "Old man, what kind of fruit is this? Can it be used?" Do you want to eat?”

The farmer's dark face turned red. He had never seen such a polished young master before. He bent down and said cowardly: "It should be a kind of pear. It was quite common here before. But he The skin is too thick, there is almost no pulp, and the taste is very sour. No one eats it, so I just chop it up." Gu Yu Zhi said, and heard Teacher Shu in his mind laughing. He looked very happy. Gu Yuzhi blinked his eyes and waited for Teacher Shu to stop laughing before saying: "Teacher Shu, is this a pear? Can it be planted?"

He pouted: "But the farmer said that these pears are not delicious."

"It doesn't taste good because no one is managing it." Shu Xiaohan looked around, "It's true that the pear tree has thick bark, but the pulp shouldn't be so small. Although pear trees are drought-resistant, you still need to pay attention to timely watering. water, and make sure there is enough sunlight, so the pears will have more juice and the pulp will be sour and sweet.”

This pear tree should be a native species in Mobei, but because of its bad taste, the people didn't pay much attention to it.

Gu Yuzhi was so excited that he couldn't help but smack his mouth. He wanted to eat pears...

Shu Xiaohan moved his eyes further forward and found that although the land here was relatively barren, vegetation appeared again further forward, indicating that the soil in that area must be good.

"Your Highness, have you ever heard of watermelon, sweet potato or potato?"

Gu Yuzhi's face wrinkled slightly: "I've never heard of them. What are these? Can they be eaten?"

"Yes." Shu Xiaohan suddenly patted her head, "I've never heard of watermelon, what about cold melon?"

She had forgotten that watermelon was called cold melon for a long time in ancient times.

Gu Yuzhi answered quickly this time, "Of course there is. But I have eaten it only once this year. My mother-in-law said that the cold melon comes from the south of the Yangtze River. The yield is low, but it is easy to preserve, so it can be used as a tribute."

He really likes to eat cold melon, but his mother-in-law said that cold melon is very cold and he is too young to eat too much.

His eyes rolled around, and he suddenly realized: "Teacher Shu, what you mean is that this kind of land can grow cold melons?"

"Of course you can, and the taste is definitely better than what you eat."

Okay, Gu Yuzhi is even more greedy now...

Qi Chenglang, who was digging in the ground, did not listen to Gu Yuzhi's instructions to stop after digging for a while. He thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, do you want to continue digging?"

What kind of crops need to be planted so deeply?

Oops, he forgot about it while talking to Teacher Shu!

Facing Qi Chenglang's suspicious gaze, Gu Yuzhi looked left and right but didn't look at him, looking very guilty.

Seeing Gu Yuzhi like this, Qi Chenglang still didn't understand anything, so he filled the excavated soil back again. His whole image was that of a busy worker.

The sky gradually darkened, Xie Changshi stood up high, squinted at the sun that had set in the west, then turned and looked at the open environment around him, walked to Gu Yuzhi's side, and whispered: "Your Highness , It’s already midnight, why don’t we camp here today and go deeper tomorrow.”

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head: "Okay, we'll stay here tonight."

Keep it simple when you're away from home.
