From ancient times to the present, diligence is one of the necessary conditions for the founding emperor of every dynasty.

Regardless of whether those emperors were merciful or brutal, they would do their best to build a solid foundation for future generations for the sake of the continuation of the dynasty.

Ning Yuan's ideal is to be a faint king, eating, drinking, and having fun every day, such a life is simply not too beautiful, and can even compete with the gods.

However, as the founder of the Condor Empire, his ideal of a faint monarch was destined to be unrealizable.

Because there are strong enemies everywhere outside, if he slacks off a little, then the enemy will seize the opportunity to knock him off the altar and never give him a chance to turn over again, so he can only force himself to be a Ming Jun now.

After the guys from the player's think tank gave the advice of slaughtering the city to warn the enemy, they directly led the beauties of South America to the warm Hawaiian beaches to bask in the sea breeze and sun.

They can pat their butts and leave, but Ning Yuan has to stay and keep an eye on the battle situation on the Loess Plateau, and then go to clean up the mess after the big war.

After returning to Condor City for three nights, Ning Yuan quietly returned to Hejin City, paying attention to everything that happened on the other side of the Yellow River every day.

When the Condor Army completely occupied the Loess Plateau area east of Liupan Mountain, Ning Yuan immediately encountered a new problem.

War, whether good or bad, is synonymous with destruction, it can only bring death and destruction to people, and the same is true of the wars waged by the Condor.

Due to the long-term blockade of the Loess Plateau by the Divine Eagle Cavalry Regiment and the wave of refugees triggered by the massacre of the siege corps, agricultural production in the vast Loess Plateau area east of the Liupan Mountains to the west bank of the Yellow River was devastated.

Originally, spring was the season for sowing grain, but because the war continued, no one dared to go out easily, so a large amount of arable land on the Loess Plateau is still in a state of abandonment.

As the war on the Loess Plateau came to an end, the Condor Empire not only added a new territory, but also gained a large number of people waiting to be fed.

Although most of the food in the cities on the Loess Plateau fell into the hands of the Condor Army, it was not only the Condor Army that needed to eat, but also the local people and those who had surrendered.

If there is no harvest on the Loess Plateau this year, then Ningyuan will have to mobilize grain from other places to help the people living on the Loess Plateau.

Thinking of the people waiting to receive relief food everywhere on the Loess Plateau, Ning Yuan couldn't help but feel a big head.

Originally, he just wanted to alleviate the already overwhelmed logistical pressure by fighting and raising the war, but he didn't expect that the final result was to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall, and the hole not only did not block it, but it became bigger and bigger.

Failure to end the war before spring ploughing was a big failure.

Seeing that it is about to enter July, it is too late to organize the people to grow food, but it is not a way to keep the land so wasted, so what is the best choice to plant?

With this doubt, Ning Yuan consulted a lot of information, but he was still not at ease, so he decided to go to the Loess Plateau in person and conduct a field visit.

After paying a high price to hire a maglev car, Ning Yuan soon appeared near a small town on the Loess Plateau.

Looking at the endless wheat field in the distance, Ning Yuan walked directly to a middle-aged man who was watering wheat.

"Hello uncle, I heard that the dates and walnuts you have here are particularly delicious, I want to buy some authentic ones and give them back to my mother-in-law, I wonder if you still have stock at home?"

Before coming here, Ning Yuan had already inquired about it, every household here has jujube trees and walnut trees, and after the harvest, the farmers here will keep some of them for their own food, and sell the excess to those outsiders who come to travel.

Although the price is very expensive, and people need to go to the farmer's house to buy it, it is green, natural, pollution-free, and much better than those bought in the supermarket, so it is favored by foreign tourists.

Glancing up at Ning Yuan, Uncle Watering showed a simple smile and replied with a smile: "Young man, you are late, last year's ones were already sold out, and this year's ones haven't come down yet."

If you really want to buy it, it's best to come before the New Year, or make a decision directly, otherwise it will be difficult to buy. ”

After listening to the uncle's answer, Ning Yuan showed a regretful expression, and then continued to ask, "Uncle, do you have any other specialties here?"

You see, I've come all the way and can't go back empty-handed. ”

The uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead, thought about it, and replied, "Specialty, our specialty here is millet."

In addition to millet, it is some fruits.

Apples, pears, persimmons, dates, apricots, peaches, walnuts, grapes, plums, pomegranates, kiwis, etc.

However, these fruits are available in many places, and they are not special products. ”

"Uncle, my mother-in-law likes some pure natural and pollution-free green agricultural products, you see what else you have at home that can be sold to the outside world, I will buy some of everything, otherwise I won't be able to pay it back." Ning Yuan said with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to be young and scared, young man, let's go, it just so happens that I'm going home for dinner, if you don't mind, let's go and eat a homely meal together."

Seeing Ning Yuan's mother-in-law, the uncle directly joked with Ning Yuan.

"Hahaha, then thank you uncle, uncle, what is your surname?"

Hearing the uncle say that he was afraid of guilt, Ning Yuan immediately laughed and started to change the topic.

......

After following Uncle Watering Home, the two of them sat at the dinner table, eating delicious farm dishes and drinking wine.

Between the men, after two glasses of wine, the conversation box immediately opened.

"Uncle Zhang, I heard that you are going to sow millet here in April and May, but I have been around for a long time, how can I see most of the wheat fields, is the millet already ripe and harvested?"

After toasting the uncle, Ning Yuan asked the question he wanted to know the most.

"Millet is drought tolerant and is generally grown in places where water is scarce.

We don't have a shortage of water here, so we grow more productive wheat.

If you want to see the grain field, you have to go into the mountain, our family has a field of grain on the mountain, if you really want to see it, I will take you around after eating. ”

The uncle patiently gave Ning Yuan an answer.

"Can you still grow millet on the mountain? I've heard that there are a lot of wild boars in the mountains here! Aren't you afraid that wild boars will spoil the grain? Ning Yuan looked puzzled.

"Don't be afraid, there are eight big wolf dogs in the orchard on the mountain of our family, and wild boars are not afraid to come over." The uncle replied confidently.

"Uncle, you said that if the grain field is ruined by wild boars, like you, will you replant? If you want to replant in July and August, what is the best food to replant? ”

After chatting, Ning Yuan finally asked the main purpose of this trip.

"If it's July, let's plant some potatoes, they'll be ripe at the end of October, and they're productive and you don't have to take care of them.

If it's August, it's a little late, and you can only plant some Chinese cabbage or something. The uncle replied after thinking for a moment.

Next, Ning Yuan inquired in detail about some details of replanting potatoes, and then returned to Hangzhou with the millet and local chickens purchased from his uncle's house.

After returning to the game that night, Ning Yuan immediately sent an urgent letter to Bai Shihai, asking Bai Shihai to organize manpower and potato planting, and he wanted to plant potatoes on the Loess Plateau before the end of July.
