After all the sweet potatoes were harvested, Wei Ruo prepared to plant new crops. Land resources were limited and she needed to use them effectively.

At this time, the options were plants that were suitable to grow in the mountain; such as rapeseed, radish, and broad beans.

-broad beans

If considering cost-effectiveness, it would be best to plant wheat at this time, so that you can harvest it in the fourth to sixth months of the lunar calendar next year.

However, the terrain of Xiaoyang Mountain was not suitable for growing wheat. She chose to plant sweet potatoes because they did not require too much treatment on sloping mountains.

In contrast, the terrain in the south of the city was more suitable for growing wheat.

When the south of the city was reclaimed on a large scale, Wei Ruo not only bought a medicinal field with Xie Ying, but also asked the nanny to buy a large amount of land.

Although the land purchased by the nanny did not have the favorable geographical location that the government provides for free to poor people, the terrain was still much better than the mountainous areas in the north of the city.

The price was also cheap, with 50 taels claiming a whole hundred acres of flat land.

After a period of improvement, the land was ready for growing crops. Wei Ruo planned to plant wheat on that land. When the wheat is harvested next year, it will be just the right time to plant Wei Ruo’s late transplantation rice.

Not only did Wei Ruo plan to plant wheat on the land purchased by the nanny, but Wei Ruo also planned to let other people in the south of the city plant wheat as well.

There was not enough time to grow rice now, but if you only plant vegetables, it would not be very effective for the poor people who had not yet solved their food and clothing problems.

Although people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces preferred rice over flour, in this situation, who cares? Being able to grow food to fill their stomachs is the most important thing.

In regards to this matter, Wei Ruo needed the help of the government.

So Wei Ruo called Mo mo Qin and told her her idea. She knew that Chu Lan would benefit from this issue, so she didn’t need to beat around the bush when making requests to him through Mo mo Qin, let alone be embarrassed.

“Miss Wei is very kind. Planting wheat is indeed the best choice at this time.” Mo mo Qin agreed with Wei Ruo’s judgment.

“If possible, I would also like Mo mo Qin’s help in transporting wheat seeds from the north. Currently, there are few places in Taizhou Prefecture that plant wheat, and there are not enough wheat seeds. 

However, the planting area in the south of the city is large, and we need a large amount of wheat seeds. Commoners don’t have enough money, so it would be very difficult to obtain wheat seeds on their own.”

“Miss Wei, don’t worry, my young master will help Miss Wei handle this matter.” Mo mo Qin didn’t even need to go back and ask Chu Lan for confirmation.

The Seventh Prince was so concerned about reclaiming the wasteland in the south of the city, so he was definitely aiming to make achievements. Now that it has come to this point, there is no reason not to handle it properly.

Hearing Mo mo Qin’s response, Wei Ruo knew that requesting her was the right choice.

Involving Chu Lan in this matter would be greatly beneficial. Tasks that were difficult for ordinary people could be easily accomplished with his involvement.

“I want to thank Young Master Chu and Mo mo on behalf of the people in the southern city who are developing the wasteland.” Wei Ruo expressed her thanks.

“There’s no need for such formality, Miss Wei. The people who reclaimed the wasteland should be the ones thanking you.” Mo mo Qin responded.
