Ming Ruo briefly explained some military reclamation management methods and standards to Si Haochen, and then recommended cold-resistant food crops.

Mingruo drew a buckwheat with a pencil: "This crop can mature in about 75 days, and even if the northwest is bitter and cold, it can be harvested for two seasons."

Si Haochen didn't know much about crops, so he only collected the patterns and planned to give them to his subordinates in charge of farming.

"Hey..." Mingruo sighed, "These will not be implemented next spring. Far water cannot quench near thirst."

"If you could find the black stone you mentioned, it would have been a great help." Si Haochen's eyes were so lucky that he married such a treasure-like princess back.

"What food do you usually give to the army?" Ming Ruo suddenly asked.

"Brown rice, corn." Si Haochen thought for a moment, "There are also wheat and beans purchased by other state prefectures."

"Don't have potatoes?" Ming Ruo saw that there were potatoes in the kitchen, but they were small and only the size of walnuts.

"Potatoes... aren't they also soybeans?" Si Haochen grew up in the royal family. He did not ignore grains. He also led troops to fight, and always paid attention to food and grass. If you want to distinguish them in detail, you can't tell them clearly.

"No... let me think about it..." Ming Ruo shouted outside, "Zi Su..."

"Princess." Zi Su came in with a reply.

"It's so big in the kitchen basket..." Ming Ruo described Zi Su for a long time, then asked Zi Su, "Do you know what that name is?"

"You are talking about potato..." Zi Su was a little uncertain.

"Well, that's right." Mingruo looked at Si Haochen, "Potatoes can be used as food."

"Princess, potatoes are vegetables..." Zi Su was a little uncertain, "I saw that Zi Cao used potatoes to stew meat and stir-fry vegetables..."

"The main ingredients of potatoes are the same as grain..." Mingruo felt that it was useless to talk to Si Haochen about starch converted into sugar, "That is, eating potatoes is the same as eating food, and it is not easy to get hungry."

"Is there a way to verify it?" Si Haochen asked.

"There is a solution..." Ming Ruo said with a smile, "You ask Mr. Zhou to notify Mr. Zhou that when cooking rice tomorrow, half of the rice and half of the potatoes will be used to see the effect."

What? Some people don’t like to eat potatoes? There’s no way, reality is so cruel, wow.

"Okay." Si Haochen asked the secret guard to pass the message.

Mingruo walked to the inner hall and took out a jade box containing the flintstone. He took a deep breath, and was about to put the flintstone into the space.

Si Haochen walked in after giving the order: "Wait a minute."

"Hmm?" Ming Ruo looked at Si Haochen with some confusion.

Si Haochen took out a Seven Micro Pill and poured another glass of water: "Take a medicine first, and replenish it."

"Okay." Mingruo took the Qiwei Dan, then put his hand on the jade box and put the flint stone into the medical system.

Just like the last time I collected the Illusion Ice Bead, the box was left behind and the flints disappeared. After that, Mingruo saw that the flints could not be placed in the system shelf and were suspended on the system panel.

Despite being mentally prepared, Si Haochen was still shocked when he saw such a large stone disappearing in front of him: "How do you feel?"

"I don't feel anything at the moment." Ming Ruo did not feel dizzy as if he had collected the Ice Bead last time.

Mingruo lay down on the bed and covered himself with a quilt. Si Haochen sat beside the bed and looked at her for a moment.

"You go to bed too. According to the experience last time, even if you look at me like this, it would be useless..." Ming Ruo turned his head and looked at Si Haochen.

"Since you hired a great guardian with a profit of 2.5% of your money, I will naturally not neglect my duties." Si Haochen said seriously.

"Then you lie down and protect the Dharma." Mingruo moved his body inside.

Si Haochen lay down beside Mingruo, his eyes never shifted away from Mingruo's face. Mingruo turned over and turned his back to him.

"Come back, you won't see your expression."

"If you watch this, I can't sleep." Mingruo refused.

Si Haochen was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly carried Ming Ruo over: "If you don't look at me, how can you know I'm looking at you?"

"..." Mingruo changed to lie flat, "Then wait until I fall asleep before watching."

"Okay." Si Haochen also lay down.

I was actually quite tired today, and Mingruo fell asleep soon. Si Haochen heard Mingruo's breathing became even and long, but his nerves were still tense. Because the same was true when she was unconscious last time, it was no different from falling asleep. Si Haochen sighed. When he encountered a problem, the little girl could always have a way to help him. However, except for guarding her, she didn't know how to help her.

Mingruo entered the medicine field again in his sleep, and this time he appeared directly outside the bamboo house. He thought of the book saying that flintstone can warm up the medicine cauldron, but... where is the medicine cauldron?

Xiaobai ran from a distance. At this time, it was a majestic big white tiger, rushing straight to act coquettishly. Mingruo felt that he might have been knocked away by this guy.

Fortunately, Xiaobai stopped when he ran to Mingruo, but just arched Mingruo with his head, as if to let her go forward. Mingruo tried to walk forward and smoothly passed through the fence in front of the bamboo house, without the invisible but inescapable barrier last time.

In the yard surrounded by fences, there is a pebbled path. On the left side of the path, there is a small pond at the farthest point. There are some aquatic plants and flowers of different shapes that Mingruo doesn't recognize. But they all look beautiful - leaves, jade with different textures of water; flowers, like crystals of various colors, crystal clear. Mingruo was observing and admiring.

Next to the pond is a medicinal garden, where rare medicinal materials grow, with only one or two plants of each. Mingruo didn't know these medicinal materials before, but he only learned about them after learning the medical scriptures given by his master recently.

On the right side of the trail, it can be called the living and leisure area. Near the bamboo house, there is a grape trellis full of purple grapes. Below the grape trellis is a bamboo lounge chair, and there is a small table next to it. Next to the grape trellis is a vegetable field, and Mingruo knows all the vegetables inside - tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, green beans, and cabbage. In the corner, there are five corn trees...

Walking further to the fence, there was a well, and then a small empty field, which seemed to be waiting for people to sow seeds.

After Mingruo visited the yard, he walked towards the bamboo house and gently pushed open the door. There was no dust and cobwebs as he imagined, the room was clean and the furnishings were simple.

The first thing that catches your eye is the half-human-high bronze medicine cauldron. The outside of the medicine cauldron is engraved with exquisite cloud patterns, and the inside is divided into two layers. The lower layer is through the hollow pattern, and the orange-red fire can be seen, which is the flints shining and heated. The upper layer is used for refining medicine, and there is nothing inside.

Not far from the medicine cauldron, there is a bamboo shelf, with several baskets containing prepared medicinal materials. Next to the shelf is a bamboo table with medicine pestle, small stone mill, small scales for weighing medicinal materials and other pharmaceutical tools, and an open book.
