Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Chapter 241 Expanding Planting

Early the next morning, the sun had just risen, and the golden sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

These light images are like paintings carefully drawn by nature, beautiful and mysterious.

At this moment, Jiang Xue was standing quietly in the spacious threshing ground.

The sunlight gently fell on her beautiful face, as if covering her with a layer of golden veil.

The warm touch made Jiang Xue feel happy.

She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the warmth and comfort brought by the sun, and a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

This joy did not last long, as a burst of noise broke the tranquility of the village.

"Sir Zhou, this is Miss Jiang," the yamen runner led the magistrate in, who was wearing official uniform.

A group of yamen runners were seen escorting a man in official uniform with an imposing manner walking towards Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue widened her eyes, looking at the astonishing scene in front of her in disbelief, her heart filled with confusion and astonishment.

However, when she heard the officer's majestic voice, she came to her senses immediately, quickly knelt down and saluted, and said respectfully in a clear and pleasant voice: "I, the commoner Jiang Xue, greet you, Your Excellency!" There was a hint of nervousness in her tone, but she was polite.

The villagers of Jiangjia Village behind her followed suit, their bodies trembling slightly and appearing extremely nervous.

Some people even took a few steps back, bent over, and almost put their faces into their pants, as if this could reduce their presence.

Zhou Yisheng's gaze fell on Jiang Xue, and his eyes revealed a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal.

He took a deep breath, then slowly said, "Hello, Miss Jiang. I came here this time to ask for something important."

Jiang Xue couldn't help but feel a little confused when she heard this.

She thought to herself, this is just a matter of paying taxes once a year, why would the county magistrate be so troubled to come in person? Is there some other hidden reason?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xue asked cautiously, "Sir, is it because of this year's tax issue? If so, I will definitely cooperate with you fully."

Zhou Yisheng shook his head slightly. His expression became more solemn and his tone became more serious: "No, Miss Jiang, this matter is much more important than paying taxes. I came here this time hoping to get your help."

After hearing this, Jiang Xue became even more curious, but she also understood that this matter was of great importance, so she said seriously, "Please tell me, sir. If I can do it, I will do my best."

"'I heard you have seeds for three harvests,' Zhou Yisheng said.

Jiang Xue nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, sir."

"Season 2? Has the second season already started?" Zhou Yisheng asked with some doubt in his tone.

"No, sir, the third season is already prepared." Jiang Xue answered calmly.

"What did you say?" Zhou Yisheng's face was full of disbelief. He widened his eyes in shock, as if he had heard something out of this world. "How is this possible? You can grow and harvest two crops in one year?"

Jiang Xue explained with a smile: "Yes, sir. The geographical location and climatic conditions of our Jiangjia Village are special, and the seeds we carefully selected and cultivated enable us to plant and harvest two or even three crops in a year. Now, the fields for the third season are being cleared, and the grain from the second season has been stored, waiting for the government to come and collect taxes at any time."

After hearing this, Zhou Yisheng was stunned for a long time. He did not expect that such an amazing secret could be hidden in this remote village.

He looked at Jiang Xue deeply, his heart full of admiration and praise.

"Season 3, can it really be planted?" Zhou Yisheng's voice was filled with unbelievable surprise. He stared at Jiang Xue, as if hoping to find a definite answer from her face.

"Yes, I can." Jiang Xue smiled and nodded affirmatively. Her eyes were full of confidence and determination, as if all this was just a normal thing for her.

Zhou Yisheng took a deep breath, his excitement beyond words.

He imagined what a prosperous scene it would be if the people of the entire Daxuan Dynasty could grow and harvest three crops a year like Jiangjia Village.

Hunger and poverty will no longer exist, and people will live a prosperous and healthy life.

He held Jiang Xue's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Miss Jiang, you are really the lucky star of our Daxuan Dynasty! If this method can be promoted, it will be a great merit that will benefit all people!"

"But..." Jiang Xue's tone was a little hesitant.

"Ms. Jiang, what are you worried about?" Zhou Yisheng immediately noticed Jiang Xue's hesitation and asked anxiously.

Jiang Xue took a deep breath and said slowly: "This should be adapted to local conditions. Not every place is suitable for growing three crops. The reason why our Jiangjia Village is successful is because the climate, soil and water conditions here are just right. If we blindly promote it in other places, it is likely to fail, and even lead to a reduction in crop yields, which will bring greater troubles to the people."

After hearing this, Zhou Yisheng frowned, he knew that Jiang Xue was telling the truth.

But he also knew that if the three-season grain planting method could be successfully promoted, it would be a great blessing for the people of the Daxuan Dynasty.

"Miss Jiang, I understand your concerns." Zhou Yisheng said in a deep voice, "But we can't give up because of this. We can first conduct experiments in some places with similar conditions to see how effective they are. If successful, we can gradually promote them. This will not only ensure the interests of the people, but also benefit more people."

"I have other high-yield grain seeds, you can try." Jiang Xue stated calmly.

After hearing this, Zhou Yisheng quickly nodded in agreement: "If the girl needs my help, Zhou will definitely cooperate with her to the fullest."

Jiang Xue smiled slightly and continued, "I have arranged a farm on the outskirts of Yun County, which is filled with potato seeds that I prepared more than a month ago."

"Miss Jiang, are you telling the truth?" Zhou Yisheng looked incredulous. He didn't expect that Jiang Xue not only had seeds for three seasons of grain, but also had prepared planting sites for other high-yield grains in the outskirts of Yun County in advance.

Jiang Xue nodded affirmatively: "Yes, sir. I want to conduct some experiments there first to see if these seeds can adapt to the environment there. If successful, we will consider how to promote them."

Zhou Yisheng nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement: "This is a good idea. Miss Jiang, you are really a lucky star for our Daxuan Dynasty! I will immediately arrange for people to cooperate with you in conducting experiments in Yun County."

"The potatoes have sprouted and can be planted at any time. And if we hurry, it's still in time to plant three crops of rice." Jiang Xue said as she sorted the seeds in her hand.
