Liu Yun nodded, "It's a book."

Gu Nianyu quickly finished flipping through the pages and lay down in frustration.

Only five grains are recorded: rice, millet, millet, wheat, and beetroot.

She wanted to find one that had a short growth cycle and could, like leeks, be grown once and eaten for several years.

After Gu Nianyu tidied up, she took Liu Yun out of the house. Her mind was not idle and she had walked to the downtown area without knowing it.

It's just that today's downtown is no longer what it used to be, and fewer shops on both sides are still open than in the past few days.

After walking a long way, he saw a woman setting up a stall, selling various embroidered handkerchiefs. Gu Nianyu stepped forward and said while choosing a handkerchief, "There are so few people on the street."

"Be busy with spring planting. Those who don't need to do spring planting stay at home. They move less and eat less. If there is a famine, it will take a year to recover."

As she spoke, Gu Nianyu moved her hands, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw something to eat in her hand. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Jerusalem artichoke.

He grabbed her hand excitedly, frightening the other party.

"My noble man, if you like to eat, I can give you a piece. When I left home, my mother packed two pieces for me."

Gu Nianyu remembered that Jerusalem artichoke was introduced to China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but he didn't expect to see it here.

Isn't this exactly what she is looking for? Plant once and eat for ten years. It is also a famous food for famine relief.

“Where did you find Jerusalem artichoke?”

Seeing the panic in the other person's eyes, she realized her gaffe and quickly retracted her hand.

"this?"

After Gu Nianyu nodded, the woman continued, "There are many on the mountainside behind my house. My mother discovered them. We call them Huang Datou."

Gu Nianyu took out a piece of silver worth ten taels and put it in her hand, "Take me to see it, I'll give you the silver as your reward."

The other party quickly refused, "No, no, I'll just take you to see it, no money is required."

"Take it, of course I give it to you because you are worth it. Just think of it as the money to buy Huang Datou. I want more, and if I give less money, won't you lose money?"

"Even if we buy them all, we won't need so much money."

Gu Nianyu frowned. This was the first time she encountered someone who wanted to give him money. How should she persuade him to accept the money?

Looking at the direction of the sun, I whispered to myself, if the soft thing doesn't work, then be hard.

"I'm angry if you refuse anymore. Have you seen my guard? The sword in his hand is not a vegetarian."

The other party was frightened and quickly collected the money.

Gu Nianyu... it's really hard and easy to use.

The eighteenth man brought the carriage back to his house, and half an hour later he arrived at the mountainside where the woman said he was.

"This is it. This area is full of yellow heads."

Gu Nianyu looked at the "piece" on her finger and said to her heart: Sisters, your piece is really big.

When I looked up, I couldn't see the edge. How many Jerusalem artichokes there must be.

"Liu Yun, dig."

Bring it to the palace to the emperor to promote planting throughout the country. If there is no grain harvest, you can use it to deal with it.

"Master, I didn't bring a hoe."

Gu Nianyu raised his hand and hit her on the head, "Don't hang out with Qi Shi from now on. I brought you up, and your brain is no longer as bright as before."

Liu Yun wanted to explain that he and Shi Qi had never hung out together.

But Gu Nianyu didn't give her a chance to speak, "Use a sword, a dagger, or a hand plane if that doesn't work."

"I obey," he said, pulling out the dagger from his boot.

Gu Nianyu shouted again, "Come out, there are more people and more strength, so we can dig faster."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen people suddenly appeared, making the woman tremble with fear.

Gu Nianyu patted her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, they are all good people, and so am I."

Originally, the secret guards were still worried about their swords. After hearing these words, they floated up and dug hard.

Those who don't have swords are not half as good as the princess saying they are good people.

In Cunzhou, Shangguan Jiuyou ordered the right minister and the chief minister.

"The government office has stocked up a lot of rice. I have summoned all the grain merchants to the government office. You will sell the rice to the grain merchants at the cost price, and then supervise them to sell it to the people at the market price. Remember, 400 yuan per stone, one more copper Kill without mercy."

The right minister asked, "Your Highness, what should we do with the food that the emperor asked us to raise?"

"I didn't know that this place was affected by the disaster at that time. Now that we know it, the right prime minister still wants to demolish the east wall to repair the west wall?"

"I dare not."

"I will report this matter to the Emperor." After saying that, he left.

He was already on his horse when Eleven caught up with him.

"Master, are you going to the north to collect food?"

"Go back to Beijing."

Gu Nianyu ordered people to dig up a whole carriage of Jerusalem artichokes. Liu Yun looked at the packed carriage and said, "Master, there is no place to sit."

"Let's squeeze in." He said and sat next to the driver's seat.

Liu Yun wanted to say it was against the rules, but had no other choice but to acquiesce.

The group of people sent the woman who was leading the way home and rushed towards the palace.

After digging for Jerusalem artichokes for a long time, Gu Nianyu and others looked disgraced, and the guards did not recognize them when they appeared at the palace gate.

"Who is it?" The guard stopped the carriage.

Liu Yun, "Are you blind?"

"You are blind if a man is not a man or a woman is not a woman."

"Pfft hahaha." Gu Nianyu then looked at her with a smile and said after a while, "Don't tell me, it's really hard to recognize."

Liu Yun smiled naively, and immediately changed his face when he looked at the guard.

"You're dead." He took out the Nine Prince's Palace token, "How dare you stop our princess? Open your eyes wide and see which palace we are from."

With such a big word "Nine", the guards were so frightened that they all knelt down and said, "See the Ninth Princess, please punish the subordinates who are blind and blind."

Gu Nianyu waved his hand and said, "Get up and let me know, I have something important to see the emperor."
