Chapter 56 Potatoes!
Author: Yue Tu Yue Tu
At first, he just wanted to talk to her, but as he continued, he actually continued chatting with her.
They are just like friends, chatting all over the world without purpose or calculation, they just feel happy and relaxed.
After Prince Ning realized it, he was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, it was natural.
Because she is not at all like an ordinary boudoir girl. She is shallow and timid, her horizons are only as big as the back house, and all she wants to do is fight between wives and concubines.
In fact, she is a well-educated, well-informed, and unique little girl.
She can talk in court, in the arena, among the people, and even lead soldiers in battles.
Moreover, what she said was sometimes refreshing and refreshing.
If she were a boy, she would have already made great achievements and become a world-famous young man.
King Ning felt sorry in his heart.
But after chatting, Prince Ning felt that even if Gu Xi was not his little noble, even if she didn't save his life, he wouldn't be too repelled by asking him to marry her.
Because living with her, at least I have something to talk about. Even if we can't all agree, we can still become like-minded friends who can be trusted to support each other.
Prince Ning was happy, and Gu Xi was also very happy.
Prince Ning was also well-informed and had extensive knowledge. Although he was very polite when talking to her, he often said nice things to coax her and treated her completely as a junior.
But when judging other things, he is very sharp and ruthless.
She told him about her private secrets, and it was particularly interesting to see his disgust on his face, and to hear his voice lazily criticizing those high-ranking officials for being perverted, stupid, and poisonous.
If King Ning becomes emperor in the future, with him leading by example and supervising strictly, the official atmosphere will definitely be very good.
The two hit it off immediately, and the more they chatted, the more they became interested. Sometimes they asked each other for advice, sometimes they argued with each other, and sometimes they held hands and laughed.
The two of them, one is cold-hearted and the other is heartless, although there is no spark of love, they both have a feeling of being close friends and regretting meeting each other so late.

At noon the next day, Gu Xi received a notification that the main task was completed. She happened to be practicing the Sunflower Acupuncture technique alone in her room, so she took the initiative to call up the system to check.
[After system evaluation, the host's mission was rated as excellent, and the highest mysterious gift package was awarded. The reward has been distributed, please check it]
Gu Xi looked left and right, but didn't find anything strange.
So, is it still books, prescriptions and the like?
However, Gu Xi waited and waited, but nothing came into his mind.
Gu Xi was confused and asked about the system rewards.
【On the way, don’t worry.】
Gu Xi,...
Why don't we just give it to her instead of doing all these bells and whistles?
【No, there will be no surprise like that!】
Gu Xi continued to practice, too lazy to deal with this brain-addled system.
When it was time to have lunch, Gu Xi asked Chun Zhi to place the lunch in Prince Ning's room and eat with Prince Ning.
After the meal, the two continued to chat. This time they only talked about the art of war, and they both benefited a lot.
Gu Xi decided that when King Ning could see, he would show him the fool's art of war.
Let him make further progress and maximize the value of this reward.
"Miss, Manager Wang said that he discovered a new plant in the back mountain. It didn't seem to be there before, and suddenly a large area appeared.
He pulled out a few plants and dug out a pile of round things like this. He was surprised and hurriedly brought them to the lady for a look."
Chun Zhi came to knock on the door, interrupted the conversation between Gu Xi and Prince Ning, and handed the things Wang Xiaohai gave her to Gu Xi to see.
Gu Xi took it and realized that this was the reward given to her by the system.
But what is this thing?
It can actually become the highest reward.
Gu Xi was about to ask the system when it stuffed a bunch of things into his mind, all of which were introductions to this reward.
In an instant, Gu Xi had a sudden realization and knew what this was.
Potato!
According to the information provided by the system, this thing is edible, can be eaten in many ways, and tastes very good. The most important thing is that it is easy to grow and has a high yield per mu!
Now the yield of wheat or rice per mu is only two to three hundred kilograms.
Fertile soil and good farmland can weigh up to three hundred kilograms, while inferior land can only weigh two hundred and twenty kilograms. This is under good weather conditions.
However, the system said that the yield per mu of potatoes can be as high as two thousand kilograms!!!
Gu Xi's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he took the yellow, round potato from Chunzhi's hand with gleaming eyes.
This is food that can help disaster victims survive in troubled times!
She learned from her dream that in half a year, plague, drought, locust plague, coupled with military chaos, invasion by Southern Chu and Northern Yan, and continuous natural and man-made disasters, troubled times would come.
By that time, food was cut off in many places in the Qin State, people died of hunger everywhere, and nine out of ten houses were empty.
She can't prevent the coming of troubled times, but if more people can plant these potatoes, it will give more people a chance to survive in troubled times.
"Miss, do you know this thing? What is it?" Harue noticed the difference in the lady's expression and asked curiously.
Prince Ning's eyes had not recovered yet, but he could hear the changes in Gu Xi's breathing and knew that she was very excited, so he was also very curious.
"These are called potatoes, and they are edible." Gu Xi calmed down his excitement and said with a smile,
"I have seen this kind of food in a travel book before and know some ways to make it. I will go to the kitchen to try it and see how it tastes."
"Wait a minute, what's so special about these potatoes?" Prince Ning called to Gu Xi.
There was something wrong with her attitude. If it was just an ordinary meal, she would never be so excited.
"This thing has a yield of up to two thousand kilograms per mu. It can be eaten as a vegetable or as food to satisfy your hunger."
Gu Xi smiled and said that her usual laziness was gone.
When Prince Ning heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his breathing became rapid, and he lost his usual gentleness and calmness. He leaned forward and couldn't help but ask again,
"Are you serious? Can the yield per mu really reach two thousand catties? Is this thing easy to store?"
"Really. It's not easy to damage. Of course, it can't be stored as long as food." Gu Xi nodded, smiling at Prince Ning who was also getting excited, and felt sad.
Prince Ning is a good prince who cares about the people!
If these potatoes were given to the current emperor, it is estimated that he would only order the chief agricultural officer to take responsibility and spread the cultivation, and would not pay much attention to it at all.
"How many of these things have been found?" King Ning asked again.
"I don't know yet, so let the people dig out all the small kelp. It's time for spring plowing. Leave a few for food and plant them all."
Gu Xi made arrangements vigorously and resolutely.
These potatoes will be used for breeding. After this batch is planted and more potatoes are obtained, they can be planted in scattered areas.
According to the information provided by the system, in most areas of Qin, potatoes can be harvested twice a year.
Sowing in the spring, harvesting after the awns are planted, and then planting the next crop, harvesting at the end of autumn, can help the people survive the winter when food is scarce.
Prince Ning nodded in agreement, with many emotions in his heart, and finally said, "It's troublesome, girl."
For the first time, Prince Ning suspected that this Gu Xi was not his little nobleman, but a goddess who had come down to earth to save the common people.
