First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 281 Wei Ling's Experimental Field

Wei Ling knew what Su Jixiang's existence meant to the entire Daxie Dynasty.

He could accept Su Jixiang's argument that all she knew was taught by the concubines in the cold palace, but for others, Su Jixiang's paintings and the ideas in her head were unheard of. Wei Ling was born into a noble family and had read all kinds of books since he was a child. As for the things in Su Jixiang's mind, Wei Ling could say that he had never seen any book record it.

Since even someone of his background had never seen these fantastic things, then even if the concubines in the cold palace were of noble birth as Su Jixiang said, Wei Ling didn't believe that they would read more than he did! The collection of books at home would be richer than that of the academy.

Perhaps someone is proficient in the theory of Qimen Dunjia, but if the concubine in the cold palace knows these things, even if she only knows a few of them, it will be enough to shock the previous dynasty and change her situation of being trapped in the cold palace.

Even if the deposed emperor was incompetent, there were always people who knew what was good, not to mention the existence of the King of Huainan and the King of Chenliu. Using these things as tokens of surrender was enough to give him a good future!

So Wei Ling knew that Su Jixiang's words were to fool him.

He didn't care.

What he cared about was Su Jixiang as a person. As for where she came from or what her background was, it had nothing to do with him. All he wanted was Su Jixiang.

And Su Jixiang's choice to stay by his side was the best gift God gave Wei Ling.

He didn't want others to know that Su Jixiang had so many abilities, and also wanted to protect Su Jixiang.

The carriage left Mangcheng and soon arrived at a large piece of land that had been newly reclaimed by the Black Tiger Army soldiers.

Originally this was a wasteland with uneven terrain, broken stones and weeds. Now it has become neatly laid out fertile fields that stretch to the horizon with no end in sight.

The dark soil looks very soft after being turned over. It is naturally fertile black soil, a gift from God.

Now, a bunch of green seedlings have grown on the soft soil, creating a vibrant scene.

"Such a large piece of land?" Su Jixiang had not had time to come here to see it in person, but now that he saw it while sitting in the carriage, he was extremely surprised.

"You said that our Black Tiger Army needs its own military farm. We carry guns in wartime and train and farm in leisure time." Wei Ling asked Wei Feng to stop the carriage, and took Su Jixiang out of the carriage. Looking at the endless land in front of him, he smiled and said to Su Jixiang, "This is the result of mobilizing 50,000 Black Tiger soldiers and spending a month. When we first started to open up the land, the soil had not thawed yet and was as hard as stone. Fortunately, everyone managed to make it regular before sowing. Look, I have ordered people to plant corn. As you ordered, we will continue to plant wheat after this crop of corn is harvested!"

Su Jixiang suddenly felt guilty...

She had only read in books before that in the north, corn could be planted in the spring, and wheat could be planted immediately after the corn was harvested. This would improve the soil structure and maximize the harvest of grain during the few good seasons in the north.

But these were all things she had seen in books and on the Internet, and she had never actually tried them out in the field. She had just mentioned this to Wei Ling that day, and Wei Ling had said that in the north, grains could only be grown for one season, so he could find someone to try growing two different kinds of grains.

Su Jixiang thought that Wei Ling was just trying to find a small piece of land to plant and see how it goes, but he didn't know that Wei Ling was so ambitious...

He is so reckless! He wants to try it out with such a large piece of land!

This made Su Jixiang sweat secretly.

"What if the method of growing two crops doesn't work?" Su Jixiang asked cautiously.

Wei Ling looked down at her and immediately noticed that his wife's eyes were a little panicked, just like a little rabbit whose tail was stepped on, which made Wei Ling laugh, "Madam, don't you always have a plan in mind for everything you do? What? Are you scared? Don't worry, even if the two seasons are unsuccessful, it doesn't matter. At least there will be corn in the spring! Most of the fields in the north are planted with corn. If we can't fight this winter, our Black Tiger Army in the north will eat more corn because of you! If the planting is really successful, then the food in the north can be doubled!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and put his arm around Su Jixiang's shoulders, patting him in a comforting manner.

Su Jixiang smiled awkwardly, "That's right, at worst I can think of some other way to make the corn taste better!"

After she finished speaking, she glared at Wei Ling.

Wei Ling laughed, "Madam is always right!"

He pointed in a direction and said, "The field of the school you run is over there. I won't go over to see it today. The children are still young, and that piece of land is enough for them to be busy. I have ordered people to build more schools in various places. The schools in Mangcheng and several nearby towns have been built. Now we are making desks and other items. In about ten days, I will enroll the first batch of children."

"You're really quick!" Su Jixiang said with a smile. She thought such a big thing would always be delayed for a while.

"It's not that I'm quick, it's the soldiers from all over the country. When they heard that a school was built for their children to study, they were more enthusiastic than me." Wei Ling smiled, "They went to the mountains to cut trees to find wood, and built the houses themselves. I didn't need to do any construction work, and they built the houses quickly and well! Your method is good. Although the school has not yet opened, your school for children has already caused a great response in the entire Black Tiger Army. Now the Black Tiger Army is very cohesive!"

"I still have many other good ideas that I haven't implemented yet." Su Jixiang said with a smile. "But don't be impatient, just do them one by one."

"Let's go." Wei Ling pulled Su Jixiang onto the carriage, "There are surprises waiting for you later!"

"Where are we going?" Su Jixiang asked curiously.

"Let's go to the other courtyard. I'll show you the things you specifically requested, such as coal, heavy cavalry armor, and heavy crossbows and repeating crossbows. These are all the things you drew. I've asked someone to make some of them." Wei Ling said with a smile.

"Didn't you say you would take me out to relax?" Su Jixiang gently tapped Wei Ling's shoulder and said with a smile, "Is this how I relax? Shouldn't relaxation be about sightseeing?"

"If my lady doesn't want to watch, then we can go sightseeing!" Wei Ling rolled his eyes and pretended to be in pain from being poked by Su Jixiang, covering his shoulder. "My lady has divine power, and I will obey you!"
