Chapter 207: Studying Medicine? High-yield Grain Seeds!
"Wanwan, can I study medicine with you?"

After a moment of silence, Mu Yunran took her arm and asked in a low voice. She didn't want to study medicine just because Shen Xiangwan had created such a miraculous potion, but she had always had this idea. She also knew what her husband and the others were going to do. She was not an ordinary woman, and she didn't want to be like ordinary women, who could only stay at home to take care of the backyard and wait anxiously every day. She wanted to do something within her ability.

"Why do you suddenly want to study medicine?"

Shen Xiangwan was stunned, then asked in confusion.

"It's not that sudden. I had an idea when I was still on the road of exile. Wanwan, my husband and the others will probably go to the battlefield in the future. I can't charge into battle with them, but I want to do something for them. If I learn medical skills, I can help treat the soldiers and eliminate their worries as much as possible."

Leaning close to Shen Xiangwan's ear, Mu Yunran whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear. There were many people with great martial arts skills present, so even if she spoke in a low voice, they could still hear her, including Yan Junling. A hint of surprise quickly passed across his face, and then a little helplessness and pity appeared in his eyes. He only realized now that his wife had thought so far.

"Really?"

I have to say, they really thought of the same thing.

Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh, and then looked at Yan Junling with a smile before saying, "Okay, I'm planning to train a group of medical children. I've sorted out some books on surgical techniques during this period. I'll give them to you someday. Take a look at them yourself first, and then ask me if you don't understand."

"it is good."

Although he didn't quite understand what she meant by surgery, her attitude of agreeing was very clear, and Mu Yunran also laughed.

Soon, Qingying, Yuanxiu, Yuanshu, Yuanyue and Yuanying also came back and brought back feedback on the conditions of the guards. After taking the spiritual well water, they all had significant changes and their martial arts all improved. Especially Qingying, who was a half-step grandmaster, directly stepped into the grandmaster realm, and was not just a junior grandmaster. Yuanxiu and Yuanshu were also grandmasters, but their realms were not yet stable and needed some time to stabilize.

Everyone gained a lot and they talked excitedly for a long time. Only after they calmed down did they talk about the village affairs again.

"The pork is indeed delicious. When the pigs raised in the village are gradually slaughtered and the people know that pork is not cheap meat, with a little guidance, we should be able to set off a wave of pig farming in Datong County. If all goes well, in two or three years, the people of Chenzhou will no longer lack meat to eat."

Having served as a local official for several years, Yan Lang was extremely perceptive in this area and quickly thought of the benefits of developing pig farming. If every household in the people raised pigs, would the army still lack meat?
Moreover, they could mobilize the cooks to raise pigs themselves, saving the army some expenses. When the soldiers were strong and healthy, why would they be afraid of harassment from the nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall? This would also be quite beneficial for them to start an uprising in the future.

"Sister-in-law, if I follow your method, can I really become fat and strong in half a year?"

What he could see through, others could see through as well. Yan Junling followed closely behind him and asked with a serious face. He knew that Brother Yi was making arrangements to seize the power of Datong County. The current county magistrate should be transferred away soon, and his successor would definitely be their man. Datong County was already in their pocket, and the better it developed, the more beneficial it would be to them.

"Well, as long as they don't starve, it's not a problem to sell them twice a year."

Shen Xiangwan didn't expect that each of them was so perceptive. They realized the benefits just by listening to her casual words. It seemed that she wouldn't have to do many things herself in the future.

“This can be done!”

Yan Lang and the others quickly exchanged glances with Wei Chengyi and made a decision instantly. "Yes."

Although everyone thinks it is feasible, how to promote it specifically still needs careful discussion. Fortunately, the pigs raised by the villagers are still piglets, so it will not be too late to come up with a specific plan when they are about to be marketed. There is no rush for now.

"What? Six thousand pounds?"

When they heard about the exaggerated yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes, they all couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. The lower-class people in the Tianqi Dynasty did not live well, and the people in the border areas were undoubtedly even more difficult. In the future, they would definitely use Chenzhou as their base and fight their way to the imperial city step by step. In addition to military and political power, people's livelihood was also an issue they had to pay attention to. Raising pigs and eating meat was just to enrich the people's tables. What the people really cared about was whether they could have enough food and clothing. If the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes was really that high, would the people still worry about not having enough to eat?

"Six thousand catties is just the minimum yield. If the soil is fertile and topdressing is done at the right time, it is not impossible to reach eight thousand to ten thousand catties."

Knowing why they were so shocked, Shen Xiangwan swept away her usual laziness and became serious. Why did she plant potatoes and sweet potatoes? Wasn't it just to let them see the yield with their own eyes first, so that they could promote it better in the future? Only when the people were well fed and even every household had surplus food, they would have more foundation to start a rebellion in the future, and they would not have to worry about a fire in the backyard.

The common people at the bottom are very pure. They don't care who the emperor is. They will support whoever can feed and clothe them.

"really?"

Yan Lang jumped up with excitement again. You know, now people can only harvest about 200 kilograms of grain per mu of land, and that is when the weather is good. If the yield per mu can really be several thousand kilograms, or even tens of thousands of kilograms, it will only take one or two years at most, and the people of Chenzhou will never go hungry again, and it is not impossible for every household to have grain in stock.

"Ah."

Shen Xiangwan nodded in response to his inquiring eyes and suddenly changed the subject: "It is not easy to get all the people to give up their existing food and grow potatoes and sweet potatoes instead. This requires the government's investment. Therefore, if we want to promote high-yield grain varieties, we must first seize the power of Datong County, or even Chenzhou."

She knew that they were already working on it, but the pace was still too slow. In order to increase the grain output next year as much as possible, they must first take over Datong County and teach the people in the name of the government how to compost and fertilize the land.

Once Datong County has a good harvest, it will inevitably alarm the government office. If they do not have control over all the say in Chenzhou before that, the matter will inevitably spread to the imperial city. By then, not only will they be unable to develop, they may even face a catastrophic disaster.

Therefore, if they do not move, then it will be nothing. But if they move, they will do it with great force and control the entire Chenzhou as quickly as possible.

No one present was stupid. They understood what Shen Xiangwan meant, including Wei Chengyi. Everyone's face looked a little more serious. It would be fine if they did not promote high-yield grain varieties, but if they did, they would not have much time left to seize the power in Chenzhou. Who could remain silent after knowing that there were high-yield grain varieties that could produce thousands of kilograms per mu?

So the conclusion is that they really should hurry up.
