Chapter 39 Daddy, I can do it!
I haven’t claimed the rewards for the tasks I completed while at Zhou’s house yet, so this is a great opportunity to take them all at once.
[Obtain 5000 points, elementary medical skills, open the herbal medicine store. ]
[Successfully complete the plant illustration collection task, reward points, plant hybridization *1, intermediate animal language. ]
[Complete the task to get 5000 points and advanced animal language. ]
I didn't expect to get so many things. I have collected all the animal languages, and I was given two other ones. Medical skills are exactly what I need, but this hybrid... just use it, it's better than nothing.
After absorbing all the knowledge from these books into my brain, cold sweat suddenly broke out on my head. It took me a quarter of an hour to feel better.
I was too greedy this time. I didn't expect that absorbing all of this would hurt my head so much. But the knowledge in my head is worth it!
Just now when I was absorbing knowledge, I thought about where this plant hybridization could be used. It can be used on rice.
In her previous life, there was a great man who saved the entire nation from starvation. Now that she has such knowledge, she naturally wants to benefit the people.
It is understood that agricultural development in this era was backward and rice production was low. Basically, only a little was left after paying taxes. She read all of this in books.
So, hybrid rice is imminent.
Xia Qingqing will go to school for three more days before she has to take a day off. During this period of time, no one dares to cause trouble for her and Xiao Yihan. She lives a very stable life, which is the life she wants.
It would be better if Yu Xueqing didn't come over to get close to me all the time.
On the day of holiday, Xia Qingqing went to find Xia Xuan, still in the imperial study, walked in openly and shouted loudly.
"Daddy!!"
The voices inside stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at the little guy who came in, but the little guy didn't realize that his appearance was very sudden.
Xia Xuan, who was sitting on the table, saw Xia Qingqing and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, "Nannan is here."
Xia Qingqing walked to the dragon throne as if no one was around. The ministers below opened their eyes wide. They had heard that the emperor doted on this little princess very much, but they had never seen her in person. Now that they had seen her, they knew that what he said was true.
Xia Xuan arrogantly took Xia Qingqing to sit on the dragon throne. The big and small looked down. Xia Xuan frowned and said, "Just keep talking."
The emperor's pressure was swept away, and they immediately returned to the main topic.
"During these days of drought, the people didn't grow any crops. Now even though it's raining and the land is starting to recover, the grain production still hasn't increased. I'm afraid it's a bit sad."
The atmosphere began to become serious. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue shut up after he finished speaking and didn't dare to look at Xia Xuan above him. He was just an official in charge of agriculture and was of little use. He didn't know what to do with this kind of disaster.
Xia Xuan lowered his head and thought, this matter is indeed difficult to deal with. After a long silence, Xia Qingqing looked between them and saw that it was difficult for them to solve this matter, so she spoke up.
"Dad, since the people don't grow food, let's distribute food to them for a while, and then ask the grain shops in various places to lower the price, so that everyone can afford food and they won't starve to death."
Xia Xuan and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue both looked at Xia Qingqing in shock. This was actually a good idea.
"But grain shops in different places may not necessarily do this. After all, they are businessmen. They would not do something that would harm their interests."
What you said makes sense, businessmen are profit-driven.
"Then we can just give them money to make up for it, right?"
Xia Qingqing looked at them with an innocent expression, while the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue frowned and shook his head gently.
"Although this method can temporarily relieve the problem, it won't last long. It will take at least until spring."
"I'm afraid the treasury doesn't have that much money to provide for the people."
The national treasury has been distributing grain to the people for such a long time, and there must not be much left in the treasury, so this matter becomes difficult to handle.
Xia Xuan and Xia Qingqing looked at each other and decided that this was the only way they could use.
"You go down first, we'll discuss this matter another day."
Although the Minister of Revenue was anxious, he went downstairs when he saw that the emperor was so confident.
"Daddy, I can!"
Seeing that there was no one inside, Xia Qingqing said anxiously.
Xia Xuan knew she would say that, but even a god would not be able to supply food for such a long time.
What if the old immortal has some conditions? He looked at Xia Qingqing deeply. He would never allow such a thing to happen.
"No, where do you get so much food?"
Xia Qingqing has been planting crops every day these days, and the warehouse is packed to the brim. It can easily last for a year.
"Really, Daddy, please believe me, Nannan."
"Seeing so many people not having enough to eat, Nannan feels sad. There are many children like Nannan. What if they have nothing to eat and starve to death?"
These words touched Xia Xuan's heart. He had shouted before that many children had died. Even if the people below didn't report it, he would have known it.
He had experienced such famine before, and eating one's own children was not an uncommon thing. People would do anything to survive.
Xia Qingqing looked at him confidently, and he felt relieved. He sighed softly and said helplessly.
"In that case, then it's up to you."
Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously, "Yeah."
This matter was resolved, and Xia Xuan felt relieved. He exhaled heavily and planned to lean back and rest for a while, but his throat started to itch, a fishy smell came, and the color of his throat changed.
A large hand covered Xia Qingqing's eyes, and the next second he coughed suddenly. Xia Qingqing saw the scarlet on Xia Xuan's hand through his fingers.
Her heart skipped a beat. She had been so happy these days that she almost forgot that Xia Xuan was injured.
"Daddy!!"
He struggled to break free from Xia Xuan's hand and shouted outside, "Eunuch Li, come in quickly, Daddy!"
It is true that Xia Qingqing wanted to use Xia Xuan to live a better life at the beginning, but it is impossible for them not to have feelings for each other after spending so much time together, not to mention that the love Xia Xuan gave her was real.
She had long treated Xia Xuan like her father. When she saw him coughing up blood, she suddenly became panicked. She didn't want anything to happen to Xia Xuan!
When Eunuch Li came in, he saw Xia Qingqing crying in Xia Xuan's arms. There was blood at the corner of Xia Xuan's mouth, but he was coaxing Xia Qingqing with a tender look.
