Fleeing from famine! A rough hunter has a fox husband

Chapter 461 This chapter 4 words

Originally, he was really waiting for them to ask themselves. Shen Nuo did not bring it up on his own initiative, but soon other grains gradually matured.

Because there were so many people, all the rice was harvested in less than seven days.

Thanks to the thresher, they threshed all the grains quickly, and the remaining straw in the field was dried and brought home to be used as firewood.

This means there is no need to build a straw house, which saves a lot of effort.

Everyone in Yunzhu Village follows the footsteps of Shen Nuo's family. Shen Nuo has never worked in the fields himself, but the crops in the fields are closely related to him.

The sweet potatoes and taro in the field were ripe, and Qin Yan took them to dig.

When Su Cheng saw a sweet potato as big as an adult man’s fist for the first time, he was stunned.

“Is this really a sweet potato?”

Zhao Chuan on the other side: "These sweet potatoes have so many colors?"

They have only eaten sweet potatoes with red skin and yellow inside, and have never seen purple or white ones.

"If you want to eat it, just go home and cook it. Don't worry, there's plenty in my fields."

As he spoke, Qin Yan dug another hoe into the ground, which was full of sweet potatoes.

"So many? They're all this big."

Liang Zhaokang was dumbfounded. Are these all edible? The yield was too high.

Seeing that Qin Yan and his men had dug a small piece of land and had already dug a whole basket, several people's eyes widened.

And they were even more surprised to find that there was a large area here.

Liang Zhaokang didn't care whether his brocade robe would get dirty or not, and he went straight to the field to help pull out the sweet potatoes. Some of them were even pulled out by the roots.

Some of them are pulled out and need to be dug out with a hoe.

“These sweet potato vines are kept and can be used to feed pigs and cows.”

Qin Yan told them common sense so that they would not throw away the sweet potato vines directly.

"Sweet potato vines can be fed to pigs, so why are the straw used for burning?" asked Lan Jiu.

He did not work with Qingyi today because all the work in Qingyi's house had been done by him and his secret guards.

Today, Qingyi came to play with Shen Nuo, and Lan Jiu followed Qin Yan and the others to the back mountain to dig sweet potatoes.

Qin Yan answered all the questions:

"The straw can be used as firewood to boil water and cook, and the ash from burning it can be used to make fertilizer or sprinkled directly on the fields to kill insects."

"You can also spread lime to kill insects, but wood ash is milder."

In other words, the value of burning the straw is far greater than feeding it to the cows.

"In fact, there is another reason, that is, the mountains are covered with grass, and cows don't want to eat dry straw."

Sweet potato vines are different. When the time comes, you can chop them up, dry them, and mix them with the food for the cows. The cows will also enjoy eating them.

"Moo~"

The cow next to them seemed to know that they were talking about it and started mooing.

There was a calf following it, which was born two days ago. Qin Yan did not let them plow the fields, so that the cows could rest for a while.

Today we let them out to graze, and the calves followed them out.

"Oh, this calf is really, really small."

Looking at the calf that was almost as big as a big dog, Su Cheng couldn't help but want to touch it.

The cow was docile, but this was its first calf, and it didn't want to be touched, so it lowered its head and bumped into Su Cheng.

Then, everyone heard Su Cheng's screams.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Help! The cow is going crazy!!"

Qin Yan stopped holding the hoe and just found the scene funny.

He did not stop the cow immediately, but watched it make a fool of itself first, and then asked Wang Daniu to bring the cow back.

After Su Cheng came back, his face was still full of accusations, and when he saw Niu he hid behind Zhao Chuan.

Zhao Chuan was also scared, and the two of them hid behind Liang Zhaokang.

Liang Zhaohong: ...

"This cow is too fierce. Aren't cows said to be loyal?"

Qin Yan glanced at him:

"She just gave birth to her cub two days ago, and you're touching it."

Su Cheng finally reacted:

"So it's mad that I touched its cub?"

Su Cheng covered his hurt arm and felt deep regret:

"Come on, I'd better not touch the newly born cubs in the future."

Su Cheng felt extremely wronged. When he looked at the calf again, he saw that the cow was just looking at him and not eating grass.

He subconsciously hid behind Liang Zhaokang again. Liang Zhaokang had no choice but to ask someone to lead the cow away.

Continue with the work at hand. There are still so many sweet potatoes. It will probably take several days to dig them all.

I also dug up some taro.

There are many kinds of taro, including small taro the size of an ordinary fist and fragrant taro that is almost as big as a human head.

Qin Yan led them to dig over. Since they had never seen such big taro before, they were all shocked.

"Is this really edible? If everyone can grow this kind of food, then the people in our country will no longer suffer from hunger."

Not to mention Liang Zhaokang, even the others understood Shen Nuo and Qin Yan's intentions in an instant.

No wonder, no wonder Shen Nuo talked about the crops in the back mountain that day. It turns out that watermelon is just the icing on the cake.

After all, watermelon cannot be eaten as a meal, but sweet potatoes and taro can be eaten.

Besides, the yield of these two crops is really too high.

Liang Zhaokang thought that even if the yields from crops grown by people in other places were not as high, people would not starve to death.

They watched Wang Daniu and his team plant sweet potatoes and taro, which they did not need to water every day, and they had dug ditches around them.

This makes watering much more convenient, as long as you are not the kind of person who is too lazy to get out of bed.

Ordinary people can grow crops and survive. Why should we worry about people starving to death if we have food?

Qin Yan did not plan to put all the sweet potatoes in the house, so he put some of them into the space.

Some was left for food, and the rest was distributed by Liang Zhaokang to the disaster victims passing by Huanghuacheng.

Some were also to be sent to the emperor, and several sweet potato vines of various varieties were also brought, so that the agricultural officials in the capital could study and grow them. By then, the people of Liang would never go hungry again.

Liang Zhaokang's hands were still shaking when he was writing the secret letter. He didn't expect that Qin Yan and Shen Nuo were so wholeheartedly concerned about the people of Liang.

Shen Nuo and Qin Yan looked at each other, feeling helpless.

But seeing the tears in the eyes of several people looking at the food, I felt happy.

The hands of Liang Zhaokang and others, which had been pampered, were now covered with tiny scars from working. This made Shen Nuo, who had originally not intended to meddle in other people's affairs, change his mind.

Shen Nuo no longer cared about the fact that Liang Zhaoxi dared to ask him to kneel down when he issued the imperial edict.

He didn't really kneel anyway, and he gave Shen Nuo a lot of silver later.

Although Shen Nuo didn't care about the identities of the imperial teacher and the princess, he seemed to have everything he needed.

Then please be merciful and help them. The people are the foundation of the country, and food is heaven.

Without food, there will be no healthy people and strong soldiers. Over time, the country will inevitably decline.

Shen Nuo didn't want to see another war, and he didn't want to see Liang State being invaded.

Therefore, the grown grains were distributed to the capital for research, as to whether the emperor would distribute them throughout the country after they were grown.

That is none of Shen Nuo's business. Only a wise ruler can lead a country to a strong state. If Liang Zhaoxi is a stupid one, then there is no need for Shen Nuo to save anything.

What they didn't know was that all the grain and seeds were transported to the emperor's study.

Liang Zhaoxi's eyes suddenly became red when he saw the food he had never seen before. After reading the secret letter from his royal brother, he was so excited that tears came to his eyes.

After Shen Nuo broke the Japanese formation, Liang Zhaoxi knew that God was blessing the Liang Kingdom.

It was really the imperial master who came from heaven to save their Liang Kingdom, so he did not dare to agree to Shen Nuo's letter of resignation. He was very afraid that as long as he agreed, Shen Nuo would disappear.

His father had committed too many sins, and he could not afford to repeat the same mistakes. He had to keep the imperial teacher stable, so he rewarded him with countless gold and silver.

But the imperial teacher still went to Yunzhu Village, so he could only send his own younger brother.

Unexpectedly, the national teacher was not indifferent to the people, but went to grow crops himself.

No one knows better than him what these grains mean. If they can be popularized throughout the country, all people will grow these grains.

Liang would definitely become the first country with the least number of deaths from starvation. Even if Liang Zhaoxi died, he would have the face to meet his ancestors.

After the excitement, he immediately summoned the agricultural officials and asked them to study these grains. It would be best to plant more next year. Within three years, all the people in Liang State must be able to have enough food.

This was a death order he issued, and no one dared to disobey it, otherwise it would be a death penalty with the nine generations of the clan being exterminated.

The first city to be affected was the capital, and then the news gradually spread to other cities.

In order to show his appreciation for the grains, Liang Zhaoxi did not just wait for news from Huanghua City, but sent several agricultural officials to Huanghua City.

If there is any farming, Shen Nuo will let those who are willing to teach learn, and will not force those who are unwilling.

New news about the Imperial Master soon came from the capital, and no one had ever seen the Imperial Master.

But there are countless folk picture books.

Some people say that the State Master is a divine soldier sent from heaven to save the people of Liang.

Some people say that the National Master is a god, while others say that the National Master is a flower fairy.

The Imperial Master, who had already attracted much attention for his previous victory over Japan, sent food to the capital this time, as well as a kind of watermelon with thin skin and thick flesh.

When the people in the capital heard the news about the Imperial Master again, they were instantly in an uproar.

"I thought the Imperial Master had returned to the Immortal Realm, but I didn't expect he had retired to the mountains."

"The Imperial Master is helping us grow crops. Wow, he really is a living Bodhisattva."

Although no food was seen, the emperor had already posted the notice.

He also conferred the title of King of a different surname on General Qin. The Imperial Master had reached the limit of his potential promotion, so his two children could only be conferred the titles of Crown Prince and Princess.

Originally, there were people in the court who had objections, but Liang Zhaoxi directly stripped that person of his official position and forced him to farm. Moreover, his family was only allowed to farm from generation to generation and was not allowed to engage in business or take the imperial examinations.

Shen Nuo didn't know that he had become a living Bodhisattva known to every household in the capital.

I am playing with my children now. It has been a long time since Sui Sui Nian Nian turned into a little fox.

Now she is hugging Amo's legs and acting coquettishly, each holding one leg, and Shen Nuo can't move at all.

"Ayan, they are standing up. Are they learning to walk?"

Shen Nuo didn't dare to move for fear that his son would fall, but the floor was covered with carpets, so it would be okay even if he fell.

It’s just that Shen Nuo wanted to watch them walk, the experience was too novel.

He watched the children roll over for the first time, sit up for the first time, grow their first teeth, call "Mom" and "Daddy" for the first time, and now he watched them stand up for the first time...

Shen Nuo was in mixed feelings. He was very excited, but he didn't dare to move.

"Ah~, ah~"

Sui Sui seemed to notice that A Mo's eyes were slightly red and wanted to comfort her.

Qin Yan heard the little husband's voice and rushed in immediately with two bottles in his hands.

"What's wrong? What happened to Nuonuo?"

Qin Yan only had Shen Nuo in his eyes and didn't pay attention to the actions of the two little guys.

When Sui Sui Nian Nian saw the bottle in his father's hand, he immediately shouted:

"Daddy~, ah, daddy~"

Only then did Qin Yan look at them, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Ayan, look at the baby~"

When Sui Sui Niannian saw that their father was holding the bottle but not giving them milk, they immediately walked towards Qin Yan.

Her steps were staggering, which was not pretty, but very cute.

"Don't worry, Nono, I can catch them."

Qin Yan first comforted Shen Nuo, then squatted down and lured the two children towards him.

The two children originally wanted to breastfeed, and they became even more excited when they saw Qin Yan squatting down.

They walked slowly towards Qin Yan's direction and nearly fell down several times, which scared Shen Nuo so much that he followed behind and tried to support them.

However, the two little guys did not fall down. Instead, they staggered a few steps and then walked forward, even walking faster and faster.

Suddenly, Niannian seemed tired and didn’t want to walk anymore. She pouted and asked Amo to hug her.

Shen Nuo looked at Sui Sui who was still walking forward and hesitated.

"Be good every year, there will be nini to drink when you get to daddy, so stand up and walk over, okay?"

The way Shen Nuo coaxes others is exactly the same as the tone Qin Yan uses to coax himself. He learned how to coax others from Qin Yan.

However, Qin Yan was not that patient with the two children, and simply let Niannian crawl over by herself.

Niannian cried and wanted Amo to hug her.

Shen Nuo still softened his heart and took the baby into his arms to coax him.

"Hey, whose little kid is this? Why is he crying because he can't outrun his brother?"

"Woo woo~, ah..."

Little Niannian's eyes were red. He leaned on his grandma and acted coquettishly, and wanted his grandma to kiss him before he would stop crying.

Sui Sui kept walking forward until he came to his father and shouted:

"Daddy!"

Qin Yan also picked him up and fed him milk.

"Sui Sui is awesome, he was able to go this far in one go, and he set a good example for his brother."

As he said this, he did not forget to give the other bottle of milk to Nian Nian and praised him as well.

"Niannian is great too. She has come a long way for the first time. I won't cry anymore."

Daddy and Amo’s voices were gentle. Niannian never cried and drank milk with her brother.

The two children were drinking milk. Qin Yan freed one hand to hold Shen Nuo, lowered his head and kissed him, his voice still gentle:

"Nono is great too, my baby."

Shen Nuo snorted at him and rubbed her face against his shoulder, as if she was acting coquettishly.

The weather is slowly getting cooler and autumn is coming soon.

The leaves here have not yet begun to turn yellow, but Qin Yan has already put autumn clothes on Shen Nuo.
