Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 51 Looking for someone to protect

After Huo Feng walked around the peonies and found that no matter what he asked, the plants didn't respond, he looked at Shu Xiaoxiao with eyes that were almost sparking with anger.

"Master Ye, you can communicate with these plants. What do these flowers and plants usually say?

Do they have intelligence?

Do they chat like us humans?

Do flowers feel pain when we pick them?

What is their language like?"

Could it be that the plants heard what he said about Master Ye? How embarrassing!

The series of questions left Shu Xiaoxiao speechless. Only now did she realize how nagging Huo Feng was. Aren't guards generally very aloof?

And even if she could talk to plants, she would not admit it. These plants are everywhere. Her ability to talk to plants is equivalent to having countless ears and eyes. As long as there are plants, there are no secrets for her.

Nowadays, which high-ranking officials’ houses and residences don’t have flowers and plants? Not to mention the high-ranking officials, even the flowers and plants in the imperial palace are innumerable. Who knows what those flowers and plants have seen⊙?⊙?

When humans do bad things, they won't even let animals take the blame, let alone plants. If people knew that she could communicate with plants, and then think about this, no matter how powerful she is, she will definitely be hunted down, okay?

Who doesn’t have some secrets? Even in modern times, knowing something you shouldn’t know can be dangerous, let alone in ancient times?

Would you mind dying faster?

So Shu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "If I can communicate with animals, I will become a god!

I can only sense the needs of plants based on their appearance and their shapes. If I could really communicate with them, I would be a god.

And think about it, if I can really communicate with plants without any obstacles, how can I eat them? How can you do such a thing as talking to them and then eating them?"

Huo Feng thought about it and shook his head. He really couldn't eat this.

In fact, plants are not really afraid of being eaten, especially crops. They believe that the meaning of their existence is food. If they are not eaten, wouldn’t it be a waste?

For plants, being treated as crops or plants useful to humans is very worthwhile, because if they are useful to humans, they will not become extinct, and they will not need to figure out how to preserve their seeds. Because only if they are useful, humans care more about how to preserve seeds than they do.

Therefore, many plants envy crops. After all, who doesn’t want their own species to grow more and more?

Without human care and attention, they have to find ways to survive on their own, and they worry that once they wake up, there will be no next year.

So when she discovered that sweet potatoes could be used as food, they were so happy. Not only did they find the meaning of their existence, but they also no longer had to worry about them becoming extinct in the future.

Moreover, every year's harvest also represents their rebirth, so it doesn't really matter to them if their fruits are picked, unless it is a plant like ginseng that has become a spirit after thousands of years, it will not be happy to be eaten by humans.

"That's great. No wonder you chose to farm. It would be a pity if you didn't do farming with your talent." Huo Feng sighed.

When Yun Qinghan heard that Shu Xiaoxiao could sense the needs of plants, he was sure that the "hope" that Master Wuyou mentioned had appeared.

As for communicating with plants, that is too against nature. Too much is as bad as too little. It is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse. After all, people are always full of fear of unknown things.

Throughout history, there have been many strange people and stories. It is said that a hundred years ago there was a strange man whose music could attract hundreds of birds to pay homage to him. This is still a legend today. There are also people who can live and eat with tigers without being harmed.

The world is full of wonders. There are many famous heroes, generals, strategists, and proud people in history... Which one of them doesn't have some extraordinary abilities?

Compared with these geniuses, Ye Xiao's talent is just different in direction, or even rarer. However, he is also a talent that the superiors must have, and even harder to find than those geniuses.

It seems that he will have a junior apprentice soon, so the gifts should be prepared early.

"Mr. Ye, you also saw that the sweet potato can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu."

Huo Feng was quite curious about this, as he didn't have this ability yet.

Although he did not go to the farmland with them, the teacher who went to the farmland came back and praised the sweet potatoes highly. He was even more convinced that the yield per mu was worth thousands of gold coins, which made him very curious.

"Not entirely. I only know that sweet potatoes are edible. As for the yield, think about it. When we dig sweet potatoes to make seedlings, there are four or five sweet potatoes under each seedling. Each sweet potato weighs at least one or two kilograms. You can calculate it yourself. How many sweet potato seedlings are there in one acre of land? Have you figured it out yet?"

Huo Feng scratched his head, thinking about the sweet potatoes he had dug before. A small piece weighed dozens of kilograms. If the sweet potatoes in the field all had similar yields...

Huo Feng sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at Shu Xiaoxiao in amazement. Thinking about the possible yield, his voice changed: "This... this... is more than a thousand kilograms!"

Oh my god! He suddenly felt that he couldn't count. Calm down, calm down...

Huo Feng tried to calm himself down and stretched out his hand tremblingly.

One sweet potato seedling produces at least four or five sweet potatoes, which must weigh at least two kilograms, right?

That is, one seedling can produce two kilograms of fruit. There are about 2000 sweet potato seedlings in one acre of land, and each sweet potato seedling can produce two kilograms of fruit.

"Prince...Prince...Prince..." He was about to faint.

Yun Qinghan before hearing the reason: It's rare that I really have to change the guards. What's this problem? Can it be cured?

After hearing the reason, Yun Qinghan said: This guard can still be used.

This is only calculated based on the minimum, which is already amazing. Moreover, there is no one to take care of it in the mountains, and the yield is so high if it grows freely.

Now with Ye Xiao...

The output could be more...more...

It was rare for Yun Qinghan to lose his composure.

"Huo Feng, from today on, dispatch four people to guard the farmland day and night. Nothing can happen to these sweet potatoes!"

"Yes!"

Huo Feng was full of excitement as he went to find someone to guard the sweet potato field. This was a high-yield crop, so even if something happened to him, nothing could happen to the sweet potato field.

Shu Xiaoxiao next to her was stunned. This... this can't be possible!

Since when did someone need to look after sweet potatoes? This treatment is better than hers.

Yun Qinghan turned around and warned, "Junior brother, these sweet potatoes are extremely important to Daning. We have to keep the specific production volume secret for the time being. Don't worry, I'm here! Just do what you should do.

Also, when the sweet potato leaves are ready to be picked, please let me know in advance and I will organize people to help, okay?"

Moreover, with such a large yield, he also needs to tell his uncle, the emperor, that with such a high yield of crops, his uncle can relax a little and no longer have to worry about food and grass, and Daning's dominance over the world is just around the corner!

Ye Xiao has such a talent and must not make any mistakes in his great achievements. Ye Xiao will have no worries about food and grass in Daning, so her safety must be taken seriously.

Be sure to mention this to the Emperor. Only if the Emperor sends someone can we ensure that everything is foolproof.

"I...I know."

Seeing that Yun Qinghan seemed busy with something, Shu Xiaoxiao quickly said goodbye and prepared to return to the lecture hall. She only needed to find high-yield crops. As for the rest, judging from her senior brother's expression, there would be no problem.

He is the emperor's nephew, and Emperor Jingming is diligent in his work, loves his people, and works hard to govern the country. He has a good reputation among the people. His father, brother, and mother all say that Emperor Jingming is a wise ruler.

Although she had never seen the emperor, she believed in the wise rulers her parents talked about, so she just had to look for crops with high yields. If it was a tyrant, she would not dare to be so blatant.

But it seems that Daning is even more food-scarce than she thought! In this case, she needs to find high-yield crops such as corn and peanuts as soon as possible. Although sweet potatoes have a high yield, eating too much will cause heartburn.

Shu Tingfei saw that his sister looked worried and thought it was still about her grades.

I quickly comforted her: "Xiaoxiao, you did very well in the exam, don't be sad, we have daddy, brother and me at home, you don't have to work too hard, building a career is a man's job."

Shu Tingfei lowered his voice for fear that someone might hear him.

"Third brother, this is not the reason." If it were because of this, she would not be lazy in class.

"It's not because of the grades, that's good, Xiaoxiao, if you encounter any difficulties, tell me and I will help you."

As long as it is not because of grades, he would not be willing to let his delicate and pretty sister suffer so much. As long as his sister is happy every day, that's enough.

As for the fact that martial arts training is really not suitable for his sister, God knows how happy he is every time his sister is lazy. He wants to move a recliner for his sister and pour her a cup of tea. His sister can just watch martial arts training and there is no need to suffer.

If his sister wasn't worried about her grades, then he didn't need to worry. When his sister wanted him to teach her, how could he refuse? He was really a little worried that his sister would work hard to learn martial arts!

"I'm thinking about farming. How can I find more crops with high yields?"

Shu Xiaoxiao's face was full of distress. She mobilized all the plants and searched several mountains, but could not find any trace of crops such as corn and peanuts.

"I don't know about this either!" Shu Tingfei was a little dumbfounded. He had never farmed in his life, so how could he know what high-yield crops were?

He knew where it hurt the most when hitting someone, but looking at his sister, it seemed unnecessary! And if something really happened, wouldn't his sister do it herself? Wouldn't it make him look useless as a brother?

"Then I'll ask...others?" Shu Tingfei hesitated. The problem was that he didn't know any friends who knew how to grow crops! Otherwise, he could go back and ask the flower farmers in the mansion. This kind of flower should be similar to growing crops, right?

"Ask someone else... someone else..."

Yes! Corn and peanuts don’t seem to be native to China. Many of them are brought in from outside. What’s the point of her looking for them in the mountains?

We should go to the dock and see if there are any caravans going overseas. Find those who go out to sea frequently and ask them if they have seen any special seeds. You might find the result faster.

But after looking around, I realized I could only wait until the day off.
