Cute peasant girl loves farming

Chapter 30 The Emperor Buys Grain
"Do you know how many are planted there?" the emperor asked anxiously.

"It is estimated to be more than [-] catties."

"So much? Si Chen, are you sure?" The prince had no choice but to wonder, the yield was already astonishing. How much did you plant? Haven't you been researching and planting?Dare to plant so many?
Needless to say, the emperor thought so too.

"Yes, there is a lot of wasteland there. Although I have been trying to plant it, I feel that there are so many wastelands, so I plant them all together, and it will always be successful."

The emperor thought the same thing, what if the plant is too small and it doesn’t work, “Have you ever eaten that thing?”

"Weichen has eaten a lot during this time, and there is no other food in the village."

Both the emperor and the prince were stunned, indeed, otherwise why would a girl be so desperate.

"Last time you said you were a little girl, I want to know how big a girl is." The emperor was very curious that a little girl could be so capable.

Mu Sichen couldn't help laughing when he thought of that girl, she was indeed quite young.

Seeing Mu Sichen's smile, the emperor and the prince seemed to see a ghost, their eyes widened, and they couldn't believe what they saw. My God, is this the cold Mu Sichen who never smiles?They must have been dazzled, but when they looked carefully, they were right, the smile was still there, it was too scary.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, and he came back to his senses after a while, "Why, Si Chen has taken a fancy to that girl?"

"Your majesty, you were joking." Mu Sichen immediately recovered his cold face, "That girl is only seven years old."

This face change is so fast, the girl is only seven years old, what, seven years old, "you said a seven-year-old girl."

Mu Sichen nodded, "That's right, seven years old, just turned seven years old."

"Si Chen, you must be joking." The prince was astonished.

"I don't dare, I know it too. She loves to do this since she was a child. She often goes to the mountains to find various plants, comes back to try, and then grows, but it has never been successful. Half a year ago, she ran away because she encountered a beast on the mountain. At that time, she fell down the mountain and fell into a coma for a long time. She almost died. Maybe it was God’s pity. I have seen it, if you don't study it carefully and explore it, it won't be of much use, just see those who know what can be eaten, but there are no seeds."

"You said that girl almost died because of this." The emperor was very shocked, a seven-year-old girl.

"Yes, they are poor and have no food, and the girl wants to survive." Mu Sichen said very simply. He didn't know how difficult it was at the beginning, but he had seen what life in the village was like, even with the help of the girl. , they can go without hunger, but not the rest.

The emperor felt uncomfortable, and he could imagine that if there was food, a girl would have to go into the deep mountains and almost die, so she would study planting desperately.

The crown prince also felt uncomfortable. The Huanyue Kingdom has a vast land and scarce resources, and many lands are left unused. There are no crops in other countries, and they don’t even have land. But for this reason, they still want to attack the Huanyue Kingdom. , thinking that it can be improved, but as everyone knows, the situation is not much better.

"Your Majesty, the girl said that you will keep the villagers for use, as well as the seeds for next year, and the rest can be sold to the imperial court. However, the imperial court is currently in a tight situation, so they can only pay for the military rations first." Mu Sichen said, the emperor and the crown prince are both benevolent and righteous. People, I'm afraid they are also emotional.

"Did the girl say the price?" The national treasury is not full either.

"A penny a catty."

"It's so cheap." The emperor didn't expect it to be so cheap. This is a new species, and he would ask for it if he asked for it.

"The girl said that collecting money is just a symbol. After all, she has worked hard alone for so long, and money is more important than her family's improvement. She wants to find more seeds. Even if it is sweet potatoes, it is impossible to eat them all in one year."

"This girl still needs to study." The emperor didn't expect the girl to be so persistent.

"She said yes, but what she fears the most is starvation. Besides, sweet potatoes will get tired of eating. If there is another kind of food, there will be more hope of not starving."

One more food, one more hope of not starving. It is a simple wish. The emperor also loves his people in his heart. However, there is no new progress in the Agricultural Institute. How can he not be in a hurry? Yi found a rare species, but there was no seedling, "Si Chen, do you think that girl will succeed?"

"Yes." Mu Sichen said firmly, for some reason, he had such a belief in his heart.

"Did she say that she would like more people to plant it?"

"She said that next year, people in the village will be used for breeding. After all, there are various types of soil in the village. I don't know which ones are suitable and which ones are not. After these are determined, the emperor can send people to study and promote it nationwide."

"Okay, okay." What else could the emperor say, "Wen Xuan, you arrange people to secretly protect this village, and you can't let those people make up their minds."

"My son understands." Prince Baili Wenxuan's face darkened, and he felt resentful when he thought of those people in the court.

"As for the issue of food, Si Chen, you are still in charge. As for the front line, I will arrange it."

"Chen Zunzhi, Hongyu's help may be needed for this matter."

"You do this matter, let Hongyu cooperate."

"I understand."

"Wen Xuan, Si Chen, Huan Yue's future depends on you." The emperor had a serious expression on his face.

"My son will definitely spare no effort to relieve my father's worries and problems."

"The minister must live up to His Majesty's entrustment."

The emperor knows that with them around, those people can't make waves right now, "Besides, if this food is transported to the border, it may make people suspicious. We will definitely find out about Taoyuan Village by then."

"It can be studied as food, so that they don't know what this thing looks like." Mu Sichen thought for a while and said.

"That's right, then you two should deal with this matter. Besides, Prince, you go to the Farming Institute and get some new seeds, and let Si Chen take away some of them."

After thinking about it for a while, the crown prince understood that the people in the agricultural institute had been cultivating these seeds for several years without any effect, so there might be hope for that little girl.
