Chi Hengji After receiving the decree, he started to go back and formulate the rules.

And this Imperial Examination fraud case ended with the North and South rankings.

After Jiang Nuan found out, she felt relieved and then came to a large piece of farmland that she had divided.

After passing through the high wall, Jiang Nuan entered the farmland.

It has been divided into different small plots, and different crops are planted in each plot. Most of them are seeds she brought from modern times, and a few are native crops of Great Xia.

She hired a group of people to take care of these plants for her.

Because the quantity was too small, she had to save these plants for seeds.

In addition to these places, she also arranged several groups of people to go to places suitable for the growth of certain seeds to ensure that they get the best growing environment.

"Well, you've done a great job. Our monthly sales have doubled this month!"

Seeing these crops growing happily, Jiang Nuan was very satisfied, and with a wave of his hand, he gave them the monthly quota of doubling their crops.

"Thank you Ninth Princess!"

Everyone thanked him profusely.

Jiang Nuan let them go about their own business, and she wandered around these places at will.

Then we wandered to the farmland of Potato and Sweet Potato.

"This Potato and Sweet Potato are growing well. It seems that I will be able to eat roasted Potato and roasted Sweet Potato soon."

Thinking of this, Jiang Nuan still feels a little nostalgic.

"Based on the output of Potato and Sweet Potato, once popularized, it should be able to significantly reduce the number of people who starve to death."

Thinking of the amazing output of Potato and Sweet Potato, Jiang Nuan couldn't help but feel happy for the people of Great Xia. She had also been hungry before, and she knew how uncomfortable that feeling was.

"Your Highness, there is a person outside who calls himself Feng Qiuyan, asking to see him."

Just when Jiang Nuan was lowering his head to study these plants, a servant came to inform Feng Qiuyan to see him.

"Okay, bring him in."

Jiang Nuan nodded and said.

After a while, Feng Qiuyan was brought in by the servants.

His eyes kept wandering around the farmland, looking at the novel plants, and couldn't move his eyes away.

It wasn't until he walked in front of Jiang Nuan that he set his eyes on her.

"See Your Highness the Princess."

Feng Qiuyan saluted.

Jiang Nuan waved his hand casually and said to him:

"I don't need to care about these false etiquette here, you can just be casual."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Nuan pointed at this piece of farmland and said to him:

"How do you feel when you look at these?"

"These plants look like they are growing very well, and they are carefully cared for. However, I have never seen these plants before."

Because he is very interested in plants, he doesn't necessarily know all the plants in Great Xia country, but he basically knows nine out of ten of them. But from the moment he entered the farmland of Jiang Nuan, he has been shocked.

If he hadn't occasionally seen familiar plants in a few fields, he would have doubted whether he had entered another world.

[Of course you haven't seen it before. If you have, it would be fine. The plants in front of you now are all modern and do not belong to this world at all!]

Jiang Nuan complained in his heart.

Feng Qiuyan After hearing that these plants did not belong to this world, his pupils dilated in disbelief.

Then, he had a feeling that it was indeed the case. Ninth Princess was indeed not an ordinary person. He could even get hold of plants from other worlds. I wonder if he would have a chance to get some for study?

The soul of farming awakened, and he looked at these fresh plants as if he were looking at beauties that fit his vision perfectly, and he wished he could take them for himself.

"I accidentally met a businessman from Western Ocean and bought these plants from him. It's normal if you haven't seen them before. They looked fresh to me at the time, so I wanted to buy them and plant them for fun."

Great Xia Occasionally, people from Western Ocean will travel across the ocean to trade here, and the things they trade are mostly weird things. It is normal for some unknown seeds to appear, so Jiang Nuan is ready to push the seed matter to them.

Feng Qiuyan, who already knew the origin of the seed from Jiang Nuan's voice, nodded cooperatively after hearing Jiang Nuan's nonsense.

"This plant is called Potato, and this plant is called Sweet Potato. Both plants can be used as staple food to fill the stomach. These are secondary. The important thing is their yield. You might as well take a guess?"

Jiang Nuan pointed at Sweet Potato and Potato in the two fields in front of him and said to Feng Qiuyan.

"From what Her Royal Highness the Princess said, it seems that their output is very high. Is it one thousand catties?"

Feng Qiuyan said.

He guessed that the yield was higher. Now in Great Xia, when the harvest is good, the yield per mu of Rice is about 500 kilograms. Listening to Jiang Nuan's tone, the yield of these two plants is very high, so he doubled it directly.

After finishing speaking, he shook his head and thought it was ridiculous. How could these two plants produce twice as much as Rice?

Just as he was about to change his words and say a lower number, he heard Jiang Nuan say:

"You are a little too conservative. Guess further."

Guess if you go higher? Is it still lower after doubling?

Feng Qiuyan almost wondered if he heard it wrong. Jiang Nuan Let him guess a little lower, right?

"The two thousand pounds?"

He doubled it again and said.

"Hmm... more or less, when the harvest is relatively poor."

Jiang Nuan pondered for a moment and said.

Feng Qiuyan suddenly became short of breath.

Two thousand catties? Or when the harvest is bad? How much is it when the harvest is good?

Seemingly seeing his doubts, Jiang Nuan continued:

"Basically, there is no problem with three or four thousand kilograms. And if it is carefully cared for, it is not impossible to produce seven to eight thousand kilograms or even tens of thousands of kilograms per mu."

Tens of thousands of pounds!

Now Feng Qiuyan has these three words swirling in his mind. Is this serious?

But looking at Jiang Nuan's expression, he knew that it was all true.

God bless Great Xia!

Feng Qiuyan was so excited that he wanted to grab Jiang Nuan's hand, but before he could touch Jiang Nuan's clothes, he was stopped by Chunhua Qiuyue!

"Your Highness, these plants, no, no, cannot be said to be plants, they are simply divine objects! If these divine objects can be spread throughout Great Xia, then the people of Great Xia will no longer have to suffer from hunger."

Feng Qiuyan said excitedly.

"I know, but it will probably take a few years to spread throughout Great Xia. All the seeds now are the two small pieces of farmland you see in front of you."

Jiang Nuan said somewhat helplessly that she also wanted to spread Potato and Sweet Potato at once, but there were only so many seeds and there was nothing she could do.

[But it seems that Western Ocean also has Potato and Sweet Potato. Why don't you go look there?]

Jiang Nuan said in his heart.
