Chapter 127: Female Supremacy: One Little Husband a Day 1
After finding out the situation, Chu Yuan returned to where the vanguard troops were hiding.
This team was trained by the commander himself, and all of them are top-notch fighters.
Chu Yuan sent them to sneak into Wuli County and inform Magistrate Zhang to quickly gather the people in the city. As long as they did not defect to the local army, they would all be protected by elite troops.
She has received a pigeon message that the army will arrive at the latest tomorrow. By then, the local army cannot be allowed to use the people as hostages to stop the army's attack.
The vanguard received the order and left, while Chu Yuan stayed here to meet the main force.
He found a tree and leaned against it to rest for a while, then took out a portion of boiled pork slices from the space and ate it with rice.
Fortunately there was space, otherwise she would only be able to eat dry biscuits with cold water.
Every time Chu Yuan arrives in a world, she will stockpile some delicious food into the space. Now the food in there is enough for her to eat for several lifetimes.
Moreover, various grains and vegetables are constantly growing on the land in space, so there is no need to worry about supplies.
After the war is over and the rebels are dealt with, she plans to take out the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the space and teach the local farmers how to grow them, so that at least everyone can have enough food to eat.
At dawn the next day, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, indicating that the army had arrived.
Chu Yuan rode up to meet them, explained the situation in the city to the two deputy generals, and asked them to take 20,000 troops each to Changliu County and Taihe County to suppress the rebels.
She led the remaining 10,000 people to Wuli County to rescue the people there.
The war was about to break out. Except for some twists and turns in the war in Changliu County, the rebels in the other two cities were quickly captured.
However, as the rebels who needed to be suppressed were suppressed and those who needed to be captured were captured, Taihe County and Changliu County became two deserted cities.
Chu Yuan reported the situation here back to the capital, asking Her Majesty the Queen to make a judgment.
After resting for a few days, the main force was about to return to the capital to report, but Chu Yuan stayed here with the previous vanguard troops.
We plan to popularize the planting and eating methods of potatoes and sweet potatoes, starting from Wuli County.
While she was still thinking about what excuse to use to take out the two crops, she heard her subordinates report that they encountered a tiger on the East Mountain while hunting.
Chu Yuan immediately put down what he was doing and followed several guards up the mountain.
She had only seen tigers in the zoo, so now that she had the opportunity, she had to go and see what a wild Siberian tiger looked like.
When they reached the mountain, the soldiers had already surrounded the tiger and the two sides were facing each other.
Looking at the majestic king of beasts in front of him, Chu Yuan decided to take it back and present it to the Queen Mother.
So under the protection of the guards, Chu Yuan took action.
In order not to damage the tiger's fur, Chu Yuan did not use weapons, but asked several good fighters to attract its attention from the front. She attacked from the side and punched the tiger in the belly.
Chu Yuan added a trace of mental power to his fist, causing it to fall to the ground with a bang after being hit.
Before the tiger could get up, she punched it again. After a few times, the tiger could no longer stand up.
At this time, the soldiers pulled a prison van carrying prisoners and temporarily locked the tiger in it.
While pulling the tiger down the mountain, Chu Yuan keenly noticed several yellow balls rolling down the hillside. Aren’t they potatoes?
So some people were sent to escort the tiger, while the other part searched the mountain for more traces of potatoes.
Not long after, Chu Yuan saw familiar branches and leaves, where there were patches of wild potatoes.
Now there is no need to make excuses for the appearance of potatoes.
He led people to dig out all the potatoes here, borrowed bamboo baskets from farmers, and transported the potatoes down the mountain one basket at a time.
Although the soldiers didn't know what these yellow balls that looked like lumps of earth were used for, they dared not disobey the princess's request.
So a temporary camp set up outside the city was filled with potatoes dug today.
Chu Yuan gathered several cooks in the camp and orally told them several ways to cook potatoes.
Just now a few soldiers had brought back some pheasants, so they could have a delicious meal of potatoes and chicken tonight.
Of course, this dish also requires the wild mushrooms here. It would be better if some vermicelli could be added, but due to limited conditions, I don’t require that much.
An hour later, the 500 soldiers present had a meal of a steaming pot of stew. The potatoes were stewed until soft and covered with soup. They tasted even better than meat.
This morning's hard work was not in vain.
After this meal, no one questioned the usefulness of these yellow balls anymore. They each led their own team up the mountain, determined to turn the entire mountain over and dig out all the potatoes.
Chu Yuan led the farmers at the foot of the mountain to cut the potatoes into small pieces and place them in a cool place to let them sprout.
After being busy for more than half a month, all the sprouted potatoes were finally planted in the ground.
At first, many villagers did not want to reclaim wasteland and spend effort to grow something they had never seen before, but after tasting dishes made from potatoes, they changed their minds one by one.
Especially when they heard that the yield per mu of this thing could reach 1000 kilograms, they began to scramble for it, fearing that they would get less.
Chu Yuan wrote down the things that needed to be paid attention to during the planting process and gave it to a local literate gentleman. She had to rush to the next place and would not stay here for long.
It took Chu Yuan three months to search the nearby mountains and found two crops: corn and sweet potatoes.
The planting methods of these crops are relatively simple and they quickly take root and sprout in the ground.
At this time, a letter from the capital arrived. This was the third time the Queen had urged her to go back, and Chu Yuan did not dare to delay any longer.
The rest of the matter will be handed over to the local officials to manage. I believe that these farmers with many years of experience will be able to successfully grow these high-yield crops.
When she set out on her way back, she also took with her a carriage full of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, intending to present them to her mother, as a token of her political achievement.
Nothing unexpected happened on the way, and half a month later, Chu Yuan returned to his home.
The first thing to do after returning is to take a bath and change clothes. I can't enter the palace in such a dusty state.
This trip lasted several months, and the baby in my father's belly was born. He was a fair-skinned and cute little boy. The empress named him Chu Xiuzhu.
After Chu Yuan entered the palace, he first went to the front court to pay homage to his mother, told her what he had seen and heard along the way, and also reported on his experience of leading local residents to grow potatoes.
Chu Shutong felt somewhat distressed when he saw that his daughter now had several calluses on her hands and her skin had become darker.
But jade cannot be made into anything useful without being polished. She had high hopes for her daughter, so she had to be ruthless and train her until she was able to stand on her own.
