Supernatural Rebirth: Farming and Raising a Husband

Chapter 346 Letter from the Capital
"Jiu'er, these two hidden guards are for you." Gu Tianqing said with a smile, "Since you don't plan to go back with me, let them protect you instead of me."

Gu Yao waved her hand, "Father, there's no need, besides, Xiao Xu is still here, I can just have his protection."

Speaking of Xiao Xu, Gu Tianqing snorted coldly, "How can he protect you with his broken body." Because Xiao Xu didn't report before, he was fined thirty lashes.

Gu Yao begged for mercy at first, but Gu Tianqing insisted on punishing Xiao Xu, but as I said, after the punishment, the darkness on Xiao Xu disappeared.

From now on, Xiao Xu will be Xiao Xu.

Therefore, Xiao Xu received thirty lashes, and now he is lying on the bed with that hidden guard!

"But you don't need the two of you!" Gu Yao said, "Also, the wound in Xiao Xu's room is still not healed, do you want to take him back with you on the way?"

"That one is also for you, it's Dark Five." Gu Tianqing then said to Dark Three and Dark Four: "From now on, Princess Nine will be your master, you must protect her well, you know?"

"Yes." D[-] and D[-], "The subordinate D[-]/D[-] have seen the master."

Gu Tianqing was satisfied, but Gu Yao was not. He asked, "Father, what about your own safety?" It's a long way from here to the capital!
"It's okay, there are people around me!" Gu Tianqing said with a smile: "Besides, I actually brought some people here, and they are inside the county government office."

When Gu Yao heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "This way I can feel at ease."

Gu Tianqing looked at Gu Yao and said, "Jiu'er, I plan to leave tomorrow, do you have anything to say to your queen mother?" After all, the other party also misses her daughter very much.

Speaking of Feng Yuehua, Gu Yao was silent, but finally wrote her a letter, besides greetings, she also told her about the relationship between herself and Chen Yanni.

With her mother around, Chen Yanni should be much better at the Prince's Mansion!

I don't know how the other party is doing now, they haven't communicated for a while.

Yi Jiang was stunned when he heard the news that Gu Tianqing was going to leave, not because he was reluctant, but because he felt a little sudden, "It wasn't good before, so why are you going back?"

"It's good to be able to stay for so many days." What's more, he originally planned to go back for just a few days, but he was reluctant to part with his Jiu'er, so he never brought it up.

Yi Jiang sighed and said, "If you miss Yao'er in the future, you can write to Yao'er to visit you."

"En." Gu Tianqing looked at Gu Yao beside him, his eyes full of reluctance.

Gu Yao sniffed and asked, "When will father leave?"

"I'm living in the county office today, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning, trying to get to the capital as early as possible." Gu Tianqing smiled, stroking Gu Yao's head, "I really miss you!"

"It's okay, I can go to the capital in the future." Gu Yao smiled. In fact, she had inquired about it the first time she went to the capital, and taking the water route could save half the time.

However, the waterways are not safe, and there are pirates in some places.

So now whether it is a caravan or independent travel, it is all by land.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come and see me in the capital." Gu Tianqing said to everyone with a smile.

Everyone smiled and said that they will definitely go back to the capital in the future, and let Gu Tianqing be the host to take everyone for a stroll, Gu Tianqing smiled and agreed.

After eating, everyone thought that Gu Tianqing would be on his way tomorrow, so they didn't eat very late, and it was over around [-] o'clock.

Gu Yao plans to live in the county today, so that she can send her off tomorrow, otherwise, she really doesn't know when she can meet again.

Gu Tianqing was already reluctant to part with Gu Yao, seeing that Gu Yao went to the county with him, let alone how happy he was.

Sitting in the carriage, the two of them chatted all over the world. During the chat, they talked about the issue of food, and then they talked about things in the west.

"You can grow corn!" Gu Yao leaned on the wall of the car and said to Gu Tianqing, "However, there are many varieties of corn. According to their uses, there are varieties for grain and feed, varieties for vegetables, varieties for processing, and varieties for popping. species, etc.”

"Among them, the vegetable varieties include glutinous, sweet, and baby corn types. The processed varieties include sweet corn and baby corn. The popcorn varieties are special varieties for popcorn."

Gu Tianqing was a little dizzy, "Wait, Jiuer, are there so many varieties of corn?"

"That's right, just like paper, 'paper' is just a name for Datong, after all, there are many kinds of paper."

Gu Tianqing nodded, then signaled Gu Yao to continue talking.

"It's still this corn. It has strong drought tolerance, cold tolerance, poor tolerance and excellent environmental adaptability. I don't know the specific situation in the west."

"But barrenness is certain, and the drought that is happening now, it will take a long time to recover, unless there is a heavy rain right now to moisten the dry and cracked land."

Gu Yao spread her hands and looked helpless, "No one can guarantee this, and the yield of corn is also very high, of course, its effect is also very wide."

"It can be turned into cornstarch, corn gluten/flour, corn germ to oil, cornstarch to sugar, and cornstarch to brew wine. It will definitely play a very important role in the development of the west."

Gu Tianqing nodded his head with a pensive look on his face. Indeed, the redevelopment of the west cannot rely solely on donations from other places, and more importantly, it still needs to rely on themselves.

If what Jiu'er said is useful, then corn is indeed a crop that is very suitable for the west.

"Jiu'er, is there any more?"

Gu Yao took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "There is still wheat, but in the current situation in the west, I suggest semi-arid cultivation. When planting, land preparation is very important."

"Semi-arid cultivation has a strong ability to supply fertilizer. Nitrogen should be properly controlled in the early stage to avoid increasing ineffective tillers, but it is easy to lose fertilizer in the later stage, so nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers should be applied on the basis of increasing organic fertilizer."

Gu Tianqing looked at Gu Yao in bewilderment, covered his head with his hands, and said, "It's just that fertilization is very important. Also, after being ground into flour, it can be used to make bread, steamed buns, biscuits, noodles and other foods."

"After fermentation, it can also be made into beer, alcohol, liquor, etc. In other words, it should be able to play a certain role in the development of the west side."

"Besides, as long as these two things are made with good craftsmanship, they are still quite delicious. Of course, they are also good for people."

Gu Tianqing took a deep breath, and then asked, "Jiu'er, where did you know all this?"

Gu Yao chuckled and said: I read it from the book at that time!Then he grabbed Gu Tianqing's arm, "Father, you should have heard what my dad said."

"I met him when I was 8 years old. Before that, I lived in the mountains with my master. The master was very strict with me, but he was also very kind to me."

"Teaching to read and write, but unfortunately, the day before I met my father, the master left without saying goodbye, and said a lot of inexplicable things."

Gu Yao lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "I only realized it during this period of time. Thinking about it, Master knew my background from the very beginning."

Gu Tianqing looked at Gu Yao with some distress, but still asked: "Then do you remember what your master looks like? Father will help you find a master, okay?"

"No need." Gu Yao shook her head, "Master said, if he leaves in the future, don't look for him. Now that I think about those years, Master is really mysterious!"

"It seems that you are an expert." Gu Tianqing sighed, "Fortunately, you met your master back then, otherwise, we would not have had the chance to meet each other."

Gu Yao raised her head and said with a smile, "Father, everything will be fine."

"Yes." Gu Tianqing nodded, and when he went back, he asked someone to secretly prepare the princess mansion, so that Jiu'er would have his own mansion when he returned to the capital.

Of course, it would be even better if he could live in the palace.

"Yes, father, have you heard of potatoes?" Suddenly, Gu Yao asked again.

"Potatoes?" Gu Tianqing frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "What does it look like!" He had seen many things, but he couldn't name some of them.

"Well, oblate ones or those that are as tall and as wide." Gu Yao gestured, "Spherical ones, and the colors of the potato skins are white, yellow, pink, red, purple and black."

"Potato flesh is white, light yellow, yellow, black, blue, purple and dark purple. If it tastes good, if it is very ripe, it will be waxy."

Gu Tianqing thought for a while, "No, Jiu'er can tell father about these potatoes."

Gu Yao nodded, "Father, the yield of this potato is much higher than that of corn and wheat. It grows in the soil, and it can be fried or fried."

"You can also make some small snacks, which are very delicious." Are these potatoes the only ones here? "It shouldn't be. There are potatoes growing in my greenhouse."

Gu Tianqing said with a smile: "Maybe I have eaten it but I don't remember it!"

"It's possible." The names of the dishes eaten by the emperor are very gorgeous. After taking out some names and looking at the raw materials, tsk tsk tsk.

"I don't know if this potato is suitable for the west, but it must be suitable for the north, because this potato likes cold and cold, and it is not resistant to high temperature."

Gu Yao continued: "Potatoes have very strict requirements on the soil. Soil with deep topsoil, loose structure, good drainage and ventilation, and rich in organic matter is most suitable."

"Especially the soil with large porosity and good air permeability can better meet the oxygen needs of root development and tuber growth." After a pause, "there is a certain requirement for the soil."

"However, these potatoes are poisonous." As soon as Gu Yao finished speaking, Gu Tianqing was surprised.

"Is this food poisonous?" It's really unheard of!
Gu Yao nodded, and said with a serious face: "Of course, but usually after high-temperature cooking, the toxic substances will decompose, and nothing will happen."

"However, potatoes are also poisonous if they sprout."
