Mu Ying took the opportunity to say: "Don't you know about the new rice seed? It was my brother-in-law and sister who ordered people to go to Jiangnan to get two crops of rice, and then urged Sinong Temple to produce it."
Everyone couldn't help but praise with joy again. Mu Yunhan accepted it with a smile and told them: "There is no need to publicize it to the outside world, but as long as they come to ask, don't hide it.
Those planting methods can reduce pests and diseases, and if you can get one more mouthful of food, one more person may live, which is a good deed."
The new rice seeds had been promoted with the help of the imperial court in the past two years. Although there were not many people planting them, it was not impossible to find rice seeds.
But there are very few seeds for that special kind of potato. They can't be bought or found. They can only be planted here in Shoushan Town.
Mu Yunhan thought that through this large-scale planting and word-of-mouth promotion, he might be able to save the lives of some people.
As for persuading people outside Shoushan Town what to plant and how to plant it, she would not waste her efforts.
After all, people at that time were closed-minded and rigid, and only believed in what was handed down from their ancestors. Farming was related to a family's annual harvest and livelihood, and they would not easily follow other people's suggestions.
Maybe she spends a lot of energy talking, but people will never listen to her.
It would be better for her to start with the people of Shoushan Town, and people in other places will naturally follow suit after seeing the results.
Everyone said goodbye and went home to continue celebrating the New Year and discuss the matter of spring plowing.
Mu Yunhan returned to the backyard and heard Xingxing crying loudly from a distance.
She had not seen Xingxing since she came back at night. Knowing that the little girl was thinking of her, she hurried in anxiously. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and listened carefully. The expression on her face also changed.
Da Mi thought something was wrong and opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Mu Yunhan: "Shh... listen."
Da Mi listened carefully, but heard that Xingxing's cries were mixed with the words "Mother" indistinctly.
Rice raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but want to laugh: "Sister, do you know how to call me mother?"
Mu Yunhan pursed his lips and smiled, strode in, stretched out his hand towards Xingxing: "Xingxing, good baby, come to mother!"
Xingxing was biting her fists and crying. When she heard her voice, she turned around and cried loudly and clearly called out again: "Mom..."
Mu Yunhan took her over, kissed her face several times, and laughed happily: "She is calling me mother, right?"
"Yes..." Goddess Gu's eyes were red, and she thought of Gu Fenglin again. She suppressed tears and forced a smile: "Miss is smart, congratulations, madam."
Mu Yunhan was so happy that he hugged Xingxing and made out all afternoon. Still feeling that it was not enough, he went on patrol again at night and wished he could carry the child on his back. However, after considering many factors, he finally gave up.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival, and everything was safe. No bandits or rebels came to attack. While Mu Yunhan breathed a sigh of relief, he also murmured why Mu An hadn't come back yet.
From here to Chunzhou, we have to work hard, ten days is enough for a round trip.
Even if I had to stay in Chunzhou to accompany the imperial envoys to discuss matters, five or six days would be enough. I have been away for nearly twenty days, and I still haven’t come back, and there is no letter, which is really worrying.
Mu Yunhan sent someone to Liuxian County to inquire. She said that Peng Wanli had not come back. She thought about it carefully and decided to send Gou Sheng'er to Chunzhou to find out more.
Gou Sheng'er went out for two days and hurried back, accompanied by a carriage. Lying in the carriage was the half-dead Peng Wanli.
