Lin Yueru is not a stunning beauty, but she has a rare temperament.

This temperament is not the cuteness of a lady from a wealthy family, nor the dignity of a wealthy family, but just a very confident temperament. This confidence is not the confidence of one's noble family background, nor the confidence of one's own beauty, but a confidence that can be seen in later professional women.

Sitting in front of her, drinking soy milk and eating fried dough sticks together, Li Jing seemed to have returned to his later generations. With her mentor, who was just over 30 years old, he had already started from scratch and built the president's daughter of a high-tech company with hundreds of millions of assets. When she had dinner with her several times, the feeling she brought to herself was the same as Lin Yue now.

Lin Yueru's attitude towards speaking to others is inevitably a bit frivolous, if she looks at this era, she chats with the man she has only met once, and then comes to have dinner together. However, Li Jing believes that Lin Yueru is definitely not a frivolous woman. This should be related to the profession she is engaged in. Doctors can break the rules, not to mention that she is also a famous doctor. When she practices medicine and talks too much to see people, she becomes accustomed to talking to men equally.

The two of them were having breakfast while chatting casually. Lin Yueru was still a good person at chatting, and Li Jing knew Lin Yueru's identity, so he took the initiative to say something about hospitals and medicine, which surprised Lin Yueru even. Although Li Jing did not have superb medical skills, she had insights on medical skills and even hospitals. Inadvertently, some words that surprised her would always come up with surprise.

"By the way. Mr. Li has also studied medicine?"

"I have learned a little bit of fur. Isn't there a saying that if you don't be a good minister, you'll be a famous doctor?"

"Since the young master no longer studies medicine, is he planning to be a good minister?"

"It's so cold at a high place! Just do something honestly in the place." Li Jing said with a smile.

Lin Yueru's eyes were even more surprised. Seeing Li Jing's appearance was only in her early twenties. As long as he was not as good as himself, he would be just a young man. How could he say something like a middle-aged man full of wisdom?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Li Jing carefully. This look surprised her.

She didn't look at the clothes on Li Jing before. She thought they were just ordinary fabrics, but now after looking closely, she found that they were not ordinary fabrics at all, but they were actually white stacks. Especially when she saw that his clothes were bulging, they seemed to be filled with down.

White cloth is a more expensive thing than silk. It is not unusual to wear silk clothes, and rich people can do it. Even now, no one can abide by these restrictions by ordinary people. But white cloth can not only be worn by money, but mainly because the white cloth is too rare. It is simply priceless. But looking at him, not only his clothes are white cloth, but even his hoods, gloves, and shoes are all white cloth.

At this moment, Lin Yueru couldn't help but be surprised that the person on the other side was no longer an ordinary rich man, at least a wealthy man or a noble man. Thinking of his previous understanding of medical hospitals, an outsider was even more familiar with the operation of a new type of clinic like Dengzhou Hospital than her, the director.

Her eyes at Li Jing were no longer a little curious and inquiry.

"Since my son knows my identity, it's a bit unfair not to introduce himself." Lin Yueru said with a smile on her face.

Li Jing knew that she must have guessed her identity, and even if she didn't win, she wouldn't be far away.

It doesn't matter if you say your identity.

Li Jing smiled, "Since you have guessed everything in your heart, what does it have to do with me or not?"

Hearing Li Jing's answer further confirmed Lin Yueru's guess, and she showed respect.

Li Jing could see that Lin Yueru's respect for herself was from the bottom of her heart. This may be because of some changes in her medical treatment that made her respect for herself. At least, establishing a pharmaceutical guild, integrating all clinics and pharmacies, and setting up guidance and supervision institutions is a promotion for the entire industry. In particular, the comprehensive hospital established by Li Jing changed the practice of medical clinics for generations, and even set up departments, setting up outpatient, inpatient, teaching, and pharmacy hospitals, which are a helping for teaching medical skills and treating patients. Especially when accepting women to study medicine, she admires Li Jing even more.

The two talked a lot again, mostly about hospitals and patients' medical treatment.

Li Jing also gained a lot in this meal. Birth, old age, sickness and death involve everyone. Li Jing is busy developing towns and has just solved the problem of eating, dressing, and now the problem of curing diseases is also a big problem.

At this time, illness is a big problem, and even illness means death. Although more children are born, more deaths can occur. If the probability of death can be reduced by 10%, countless newborns can be increased in a year. However, this is a long-term problem. It is not possible to change immediately by building one or two hospitals or training a few more doctors.

After breakfast, Li Jing stood up and sent Lin Yueru to leave.

Before leaving, Lin Yueru smiled and said to Li Jing: "Soy milk, fried dough sticks, tea and eggs, and the soup buns are really good. Thank you for your recommendation."

"There are more delicious things in Dengzhou. If you have the chance, you can go and compensate them one by one."

"Then it's just a matter of just one word. I'll ask you more questions." Lin Yueru replied generously, finally waved her hand and left.

After Lin Yueru left, Li Rang suddenly appeared from the side, scaring Li Jing.

"The weather is getting colder every day. Dashen, look at me here all morning. Why do you have to give me a set of cotton coats when you look back?" Li Rang shrank his neck, rubbed his hands constantly, and his lips shivered.

Li Jing was unmoved and pointed to the four-wheeled carriage in the corner.

"It's comfortable to roast charcoal in the carriage just now!"

Li Rang immediately laughed and said, "No, I have been standing here to let the master go out for you. In case other people see that the master has an appointment with the beauty. If it is passed to any master's wife, I'm afraid that my master's life will be difficult."

"Okay, Qilang, you dare to threaten me. Okay, how about a set of cotton coat seal?"

"One set is enough, at least ten sets!" Li Rang said proudly.

"Did you wear it? You get two sets in the future, but there are not many, and you will die."

The master and apprentice made a joke for a while, and finally got to the point.

"A few days ago, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences reported that the potato medicine yielded 20 stones per mu. Taro can produce 20 stones per mu. What is the specific situation?" Li Jing asked. Although Dengzhou is not short of grain at present, in the long run, the local self-produced grain in Dengzhou is completely not self-supported enough and must rely on other places to purchase grain. Therefore, for Li Jing, any kind of thing that can make people fill their stomachs is worth paying attention to.

"Let's get on the carriage and talk." Li Rang invited Li Jing to his luxurious four-wheeled carriage. The carriage had a lot of space. The two of them could drink hot tea while sitting inside. They could also talk while lying down.

"Potato medicine was originally used for medicinal purposes, but many people also cook vegetables and even make grain. People from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have been studying for a long time. After selecting seeds, if they choose sand cultivation and careful care, the yield of this potato medicine can even reach 3,000 kilograms. However, if it is widely planted, it should reach 1,500 to 2,000 kilograms per acre."

“Can you make a staple food?”

"Shennong Bencao Jing" is listed as the best grade, which replenishes deficiency, eliminates cold and heat evil qi, replenishes the middle and qi, grows muscles, and takes the target to be the best grade; there are also medical books that say that yam can help the five internal organs, strengthens the muscles and bones, and can stabilize the mind, and is responsible for excreting semen and forgetfulness. There are also medical books that believe that yam can benefit the kidney qi, strengthens the spleen and stomach, stops diarrhea, dissolves phlegm and saliva, moistens the external factors, and mash the potato medicine finely every day, and eats it beautifully. It can be taken for a long time to lighten the body and prolongs life. The medicinal use is OK, but it can also be used as a staple food. It can also be cooked with corn, rice, wheat, flour. Even if you eat it alone, there will be no problem." Li Rang replied seriously.

“What about saving?”

"It is difficult to preserve potato medicine. It can only be stored for about ten days after being dug out. However, if it is dried and stored with wood chips, it can be stored for about three months. If it is dug in the sand, it can be stored for half a year. If it is stored in an ice warehouse, it can be stored for three years. In addition, it is to slice and dry it and cook porridge when eating." Li Rang replied.

Li Jing pinched his chin and it was not realistic to just eat yam, but yam can be eaten as a vegetable, as a medicine, and can also be used as a porridge with grain. This should be considered a kind of miscellaneous grain. For towns with insufficient grain output, its high yield is very attractive. Even if it does not produce 3,000 kilograms per mu and does not produce 2,500 kilograms, it can produce 1,51,000 kilograms per mu, which is ten times the yield of other grains.

Li Jing couldn't help but remember that in later generations, he heard his grandfather often say that in those most difficult days, there was insufficient food, so he ate vegetable porridge. He cooked it with radish or sweet potatoes with a small amount of rice, but in fact, there was very little rice, mostly radish or sweet potatoes. Although it was not as delicious as white rice, it allowed the family to survive that period.

In fact, Li Jing also ate vegetable porridge when he was in Wang Lizhuang. Many people actually lived like this. White rice every day is something that I can't imagine. I eat dry food two meals a day, and I usually eat thin food. However, the people under the town are very busy now. Even when I am slack, they will go to the workshop to do short-term work. Therefore, food is indispensable. If you use this potato medicine, the demand for food can be reduced.

"There is also a taro, which produces equivalent to potato medicine, but it often requires water. Taro is more convenient to store and can be stored for one year, and if carefully stored, it can be more than three years."

Both potato medicine and taro are high-yield, and can be used as grains for vegetables, but there is one thing that is difficult to store. Li Jing pinched his chin and suddenly a flash of inspiration in his mind. He had eaten these two things in later generations. Not only were they fresh, but they also remember that there were potato medicine powder and taro powder. After making them into powder, they would be stored for longer. It can also be dried directly, just like the potato chips eaten in later generations. You can directly slice them and dry them. You can boil them in water and then dry them.

In this way, the problem of storage and preservation is gone. These dried potato medicines and dried taro can also be used as food.

Li Jing doesn’t expect that the yield per mu is 2,000 kilograms. It’s okay to have a yield per mu of 1,500 mu. The yield per mu is twelve stones. Moreover, the land requirements for potato medicine and taro are simpler than growing millet, wheat and rice.

If one million acres can be planted next year, wouldn’t it be possible to harvest 12 million stones of potato medicine and taro?

How many people in Dengzhou are now? More than two million, and it is expected to reach three million people by the year. Based on the average of three stones per person, the annual ration may be 10 million stones. If war preparations, consumption and livestock consumption are included, double the amount to 20 million stones. The town can produce five million stones a year now, and it may increase to six to eight million stones next year.

By doing this, the pressure on grain purchase demand in the town has been greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, Li Jing couldn't help but get excited. It was 12 million stones, which would be a lot of food burden.

"Go to prepare for breeding immediately. Potato medicine can be divided into vines and planted with taro. Qilang, I will give you a deadly task. No matter what, next year, potato medicine and taro will have to plant at least one million acres. Whether it is the newly reclaimed wasteland or the edges of ponds and ditches, in short, you can get this amount. You have to know that you will have to fight against the Khitan next year, and even with the current situation from Youzhou, we may have to go to Youzhou to fight. Next year will be a year for the town to fight for a long time. The food must be guaranteed, and you have to rely on purchasing grain from outside. This is not an insurance method." Li Jing patted Li Rang's shoulder.

Li Jing nodded, "Don't worry, the people regard food as the most important thing. Before the troops move, food and grass will come first. The important students of food are very clear."

"Just know, potato medicine and taro may not taste good for a long time, but think that if it is not delicious, it will always be delicious compared to leaves, grass roots and bark. If it is not delicious, it is better to eat potato medicine and taro than people eat people. There is no need to only plant these, so that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will mobilize. For example, lotus roots can produce thousands of kilograms per mu, and kelp. In addition, white radish and carrots are all very high in yield. These things can be cooked and dried. Eat more vegetables to eat less, and even dry them to prevent hunger. Cultivate more good seeds, whether it is grain or vegetables, more."
