The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Chapter 213: Food Protection_1

Daohua Manor.

This was a manor specifically used by Daohua for growing food crops, and among the three manors given to her by the Li Family, it was the largest one, covering nearly five thousand acres.

In the manor, Daohua had also specially had a granary built.

Upon entering the granary, Yan Wenxiu and Defu’s eyes widened.

So much wheat!

Neatly stored in one warehouse after another.

The wheat was all freshly harvested this year, each grain plump and glossy, clearly of a high-quality breed even to those unfamiliar with agriculture.

“There must be nearly twenty thousand dan of grain here, right?” Defu said excitedly.

The Governor had lost twenty thousand dan, and now they could return twenty thousand dan, so they wouldn’t have to face punishment.

Xiaoliu nodded with a smile, “Not more, not less, just right at twenty thousand dan. This year’s harvest was good, each acre yielded nearly six dan of grain. After deducting the seeds sown and the grain sold to the nearby villages, this is what’s left.”

Yan Wenxiu’s expression changed, “Six dan per acre?”

Xiaoliu nodded again, “Yes, but this is because the fields on the estate are fertile. For the other villagers’ fields, they can only get a little more than five dan.”

Defu quickly said, “That’s already very good. As far as I know, an output of over five dan per acre is only possible in the southern regions with abundant rainfall. It’s really great to have such a high yield in the north.”

Xiaoliu chuckled. He clearly remembered that when he first discussed the yield per acre with the young lady, she was not satisfied and said that in the future, she wanted to cultivate grains with even higher yields.

Of course, this was not something he would reveal to outsiders.

Defu looked at Yan Wenxiu, “Eldest Young Master, let’s start transporting now. The sooner we deliver it to Fenxi, the sooner the master will be at ease.”

Yan Wenxiu nodded.

Watching bag after bag of wheat seeds being loaded onto the horse-drawn carts, the anxiety in Defu’s heart gradually settled.

Compared to the increasing smiles on Defu’s face, Xiaoliu watched the granaries he had worked so hard to fill gradually empty, and it felt like a punch to the gut.

“By the way, my lord, Defu, have you arranged for enough people to transport the grain seeds? Please don’t let them be lost again.”

Defu said with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’ve already informed Commander Shen. This time, he will personally oversee the escort. The Jinling Guard who are close to the master will also follow, and once we arrive in Fenxi, the soldiers under the Governor will come to meet us to ensure the grain reaches the people of Fenxi.”

Hearing this, Xiaoliu did not say anything more.

true enough, once all the grain had been loaded into the carts, a troop of soldiers in armor and carrying long sabers arrived outside the manor.

Xiaoliu took a look and noticed that there were many soldiers, each one appearing to be quite capable, which finally put his mind at ease.

…

By the time Yan Wenxiu and the others returned to the Yan Residence, it was already afternoon. Commander Shen and the soldiers escorting the grain were at the port and did not enter the city.

Hearing that they had collected twenty thousand dan of grain, Xiao Yeyang was very excited and happy. He looked at Daohua, wanting to say something, but as the words reached his lips, he felt they would be too trite, so he swallowed them back down.

“I need to accompany the grain convoy to the provincial capital, so I’m leaving now,” he said.

Daohua thought for a moment and then said, “I saw you didn’t eat much at noon. Wait a minute, I’ll get you some food for the road.” Then, turning to Yan Wenxiu, she asked, “Big brother, are you also going?”

“I…”

Yan Wenxiu looked at Xiao Yeyang. To be honest, his return this time was to help collect the grain seeds. Now that the issue of the grain was resolved, the Little Prince no longer needed his help.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Yan Wenxiu and after thinking for a moment said, “He will go too. Once at Wuhua Mountain, pick up Wenkai and the others. The Commandant Office has several of my uncle’s men. Whether it’s horsemanship, archery, or physical prowess, they are all exceptionally good. It’s a good opportunity for them to meet.”
