A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 281 Departure
After hearing Azheluo's words, Chang Ning knew that in the Ximan royal family, the phenomenon of princes fighting for power and profit must also be very serious.Even though Azheluogui is the queen's son, there are still many inconveniences in his actions.

Changning went to Ximan this time, using the identity of Ximan princess. In order to deceive people, the Ximan royal family has already prepared a set of excuses

They claimed that Changning was the daughter of the Ximan king in Dayu, and that her mother was a Han woman who had been favored by the Ximan king.

Because Ximen King Asuotu was very romantic when he was young.I also like to travel around in micro-services, basically sowing seeds everywhere.Among the dozens of princes and princesses of the Ximan royal family, more than a dozen came to the door because of this reason, and some of them were of mixed Hu and Han blood.

Therefore, Changning used such an identity to go to Ximan, which would not arouse suspicion.

The only surprising thing is that she can be named Ai Lian?

You must know that in the current Ximan royal family, only the children of the queen and a few favorite concubines are eligible to start with the word A in front of the name. Because of the humble birth mother, Princess Izumo can only be raised under the queen's knees. Izumo is named after.

Ai Lian is of mixed blood, and grew up in the Han area. She has never even met the Ximan king, so she was given a surname?After hearing this news, most of the Western Man royal family became interested in Changning.

They also heard that she was able to fascinate Xiao Qian so much that everyone was even more amazed. They couldn't help but eagerly want to know what kind of character she is!
It is already October now, and the Dhamma Conference in Xiban starts in November and ends at the end of December, which lasts for more than a month and spans the new year.This trip to Changning, coupled with the barriers of wind and snow on the road in winter, basically has to wait until the beginning of spring next year before returning from Ximan.

At this time, the two hundred acres of potatoes planted in Changning were ready to be harvested.Although because of her behavior of encouraging Xiao Qian to eat potatoes openly, potatoes have been put on the tables of Shuoyang people, and there have long been profit-seeking merchants who have shipped a large number of potatoes to sell.But there are not many potato farmers like her.

Because at that time, most people's fields were planted with wheat.Occasionally, those who have the energy to open up wasteland dare not plant such things that have never been planted before.

Therefore, her [-]-acre potato field has attracted special attention, and people often sneak over to check what it looks like?

If it wasn't for being on the edge of the field in the army station and being taken care of by the soldiers all the time, I'm afraid he would be poached by the common people before he matured.

Rao Changning doesn't know much about planting methods, but because potatoes are cold-resistant and cool-loving, they are very adaptable to the environment, especially suitable for the northwest region, and they still have a bumper harvest.When receiving the goods, the soldiers deliberately weighed them, and the harvest per mu of land was more than 1000 catties.Some grow well, and the yield per mu is more than 2000 catties.

More than 1000 catties and two thousand catties, what kind of concept is this!The family that grows the best wheat in the northwest can only harvest [-] catties per mu of land.How many times has this been doubled?

And in the past six months, everyone has gotten used to eating potatoes, knowing that as long as they don't eat sprouted ones, nothing will happen.And how delicious it is, rich people can add meat to stew, and poor people boil it in plain water and dip it in salt, which can also fill their stomachs.It is also easy to store, and it will not go bad and taste bad when it is cold for a long time like sweet potatoes.

This thing is not a vegetable, it is food at all!
The land in the Northwest is barren and the climate is bitterly cold, and only one crop can be grown a year. What the people lack most is food.Looking at the piles of potatoes piled up like a hill, before Chang Ning could say anything, the soldiers and common people burst into tears.

But then, Chang Ning did another thing that made them dumbfounded.

She actually recruited experienced wheat growers from the interior, and also brought some cold-resistant wheat seeds to plant wheat on the [-] acres of land that had just been harvested.

How is this possible?In winter in the Northwest, the snow is at least three feet thick.What kind of crops can't freeze to death in such cold weather?Isn't this throwing food for nothing?
However, she was the one who introduced the potatoes. If the wheat could be planted successfully, as she said, it would be harvested by May next year.After harvesting in May, crops such as potatoes, peanuts and corn can be planted again.In that way, two seasons of crops can be planted in one year, so how much more grain can be harvested?

Ordinary people feel terrible just thinking about it.

Therefore, although they dare not plant it themselves, they all rushed to see Changning planting it.As a result, when farming, the surrounding area of ​​the [-] mu of land was surrounded by water, full of spectators.

However, no matter how much commotion caused by farming, after making sufficient preparations, Chang Ning was about to set off for Ximan.

Although Dayu and Ximan are adjacent to each other, it is not close from Shuoyang City to Xikang City, the capital of Dayu.After Changning left Shuoyang, he had to walk hundreds of miles to reach the border of Dayu, and after leaving the border, he had to walk more than [-] miles to reach Xikang City after entering the grassland.

The distance is more than 800 miles. In this backward age without cars, you can only travel by horse-drawn carriage, which is definitely a long way.

Chang Ning set off on the road in early November. Before she left, she had already given Xiao Qian the detailed manufacturing methods and blueprints of each firearm, and asked him to speed up the time to supervise the development.

At the same time, Xiao Qian also strictly selected the accompanying guards for her. In addition to the original Xiao Ling and Xiao Shiba, he also added a female dark guard named Yan Luo. Specially sent to protect her.

Although both belong to female dark guards, Yan Luo's level is much higher than Xiao Ling's.Although Xiao Ling is powerful in martial arts, she is still young and was sent out early, so she has not learned many things.

Yan Luo is an instructor-level figure in the Xiao family's hidden guards, and Xiao Ling is not comparable at all. Apart from being proficient in martial arts and knowing how to assassinate, she is also good at onomatopoeia, disguise, and concealment.

She was so secretive that Chang Ning didn't know what she looked like or where she was until the time she set off.

"Don't worry, as long as you are in danger, Yanluo will definitely appear, and you don't have to worry about where she goes at ordinary times."

Xiao Qian told Chang Ning the secret signal to communicate with Yan Luo, reluctantly took her hand and kissed it again and again, seeing that it was time to leave, he had no choice but to let go of her hand.

"Good girl, brother will take you home!" Azheluo was riding a big horse with the guards in front of the carriage. Seeing Chang Ning getting into the carriage in Western costume, he was so happy that he couldn't help raising his whip and whipping There was a loud crisp sound.

"Hmph—" Seeing this, Xiao Qian immediately snorted coldly.

"Princess Ayilian is going back to Ximan." Seeing that Changning was about to leave, many people in Shuoyang City rushed to tell each other, and even soldiers ran to the side of the road to see them off, shouting in unison: "Your Highness, please be sure." Come back! We are still waiting to watch the winter wheat harvest with His Highness..."

The people of this era are so simple, you let them see the hope of being full, they will be grateful to you, and will never forget it.

Inside Zhenbei Palace!After hearing the news that Chang Ning was going back to Ximan with Azheluo for the festival, Xiao Gang immediately slapped the table happily, and said happily: "That Ximan princess is going back, hahaha, God help me. It's snowing this season The raging is a good opportunity for assassination, let's set up an ambush halfway, it's best to kill Azheluo together, so that the Western Man will also be in chaos..."
