Chapter 270: Letting the People of the World Eat Their Fill and Stay Warm
Bai Wei considered it for a moment and felt that what Xiao Moting said made sense.
She opened the paper and looked at the curriculum on it.
It started with basic training, including running, push-ups, leg stretches, etc., to help build a solid physical foundation.
"Alright, Xiao Moting, starting tomorrow, I will practice according to these lessons you wrote."
Bai Wei raised her head and glanced at Cangyun, who was eating a chicken leg.
Cangyun had already finished the chicken leg and was very satisfied.
She walked forward and stroked Cangyun's feathers.
"Cangyun, you're full now, so I'm going to send you back to Daliang."
This gyrfalcon was raised by Xiao Moting, so it had to be sent back.
Just as Bai Wei prepared to grab Cangyun to teleport it back to Daliang.
Suddenly, Cangyun flapped its wings and flew quickly onto a nearby tree branch.
Bai Wei was stunned and hurriedly chased after it.
"Cangyun, don't run, I'm sending you home."
Unexpectedly, just as she chased after it, Cangyun flapped its wings again, flew to a higher branch to stand, and even protested by "cawing" at her.
At this, Bai Wei was dumbfounded.
Unable to catch up to Cangyun, she couldn't send it home.
What exactly was going on?
At this moment, Dahuang ran over, wagging its tail at her and running repeatedly toward the food bowl.
Dahuang had been raised by Bai Wei since it was small, so she knew somewhat what it wanted to express and was immediately surprised.
"Dahuang, are you saying that Cangyun thinks the KFC here is too delicious and doesn't want to go back yet?"
"Woof woof!" Dahuang barked twice.
Bai Wei was astonished and looked up to shout at Cangyun in the tree.
"Cangyun, you don't want to go back yet, is that right?"
As if responding to her, Cangyun immediately let out a loud cry.
"Caw!"
Bai Wei was speechless.
She hadn't expected that the eagle Xiao Moting raised, after coming to her place and eating a meal of KFC, would actually not want to leave.
Cangyun was standing on the treetop, and she couldn't climb up to catch it.
Even if she wanted to use Teleportation, she had to catch it first.
Bai Wei had no choice but to write a note and send it over.
"Xiao Moting, after Cangyun finished the chicken leg, it didn't want to come back."
Soon, Xiao Moting replied.
"It's fine, let it stay with you for the time being."
"Your Farm just encountered thieves, so you need to strengthen your defenses. Cangyun can see in the dark and is very alert at night; letting it stay at the Farm can protect you during this time."
"But, is it okay on your side? Don't you need it to deliver messages?"
"Bai, didn't you send over a Drone? For not-too-far distances, I can use the Drone to deliver messages. If the distance is too far, I'll use a Minivan or motorcycle to send letters."
Bai Wei looked at Cangyun, who also appeared unwilling to leave, and could only give up.
"Alright, let it stay with me for a few more days, then I'll send it back to you."
Northern Frontier Camp.
Xiao Moting put down the note and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Outside the tent, a group of soldiers was waiting anxiously; seeing Xiao Moting walk out, they hurriedly gathered around.
"Prince, is Bai alright?"
"Were the thieves caught?"
"Damn thieves, daring to steal from Bai's home; if we were there, we would definitely chop off the thieves' heads."
They knew thieves had broken into Bai Wei's home and had all waited outside for an entire night.
Xiao Moting signaled for everyone to be quiet.
"Rest assured, the thieves at Bai's place have already been caught, and she was not injured."
"That's great." Han Guiying finally revealed a smile, "If I could go to Bai's place, no matter what kind of petty thief they are, I'd take them all down."
At this time, several soldiers carried a bucket of porridge and walked over with Wu Da.
Wu Da bowed to Xiao Moting and pointed at the porridge bucket.
"Prince, you haven't slept all night and haven't eaten anything. I had the cooks boil some vegetable porridge; everyone should drink some to pad your stomachs."
The porridge in the bucket was steaming, with snow-white rice grains and green vegetable leaves; the aroma was mouth-watering.
Wu Da scooped a bowl and handed it to Xiao Moting.
Xiao Moting took a sip, and his brow relaxed.
"What kind of vegetable is this porridge boiled with? The taste is quite good."
Wu Da said with a smile, "Prince, have you forgotten? We previously reclaimed over a thousand acres of land; besides planting grain, we also planted many vegetables in the remaining corner plots. This is the sweet potato leaves grown in our farmland."
Han Guiying said in surprise, "Sweet potato leaves grew so quickly?"
"Yes." Wu Da nodded with a smile, "Thanks to the fertilizer Bai sent over, not only did the sweet potatoes grow fast, but the bok choy, corn, and wheat seedlings in the farmland are all growing gratifyingly, and because we used pesticides, there are no bugs either."
"This is truly wonderful." Han Guiying was overjoyed, "At this rate, the people of Beijiang won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future."
Everyone held their steaming bowls of porridge, all wearing expressions of comfort and satisfaction.
In the past, without pesticides and chemical fertilizers, the crops and vegetables grown by the people of Daliang grew very slowly.
It was not only time-consuming and laborious, but they also had to guard against pests at all times.
Now with pesticides and chemical fertilizers, the growth rate of crops is several times faster than before, and they are even more robust.
Xiao Moting pondered.
"If these crops grow so quickly, and we promote the seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides nationwide, the people all over the world will no longer go hungry."
His words drew unanimous agreement from everyone.
The farmers of Daliang have suffered too much; for generations, they have toiled in the fields, facing the yellow earth with their backs to the sky, breaking every drop of sweat into eight pieces.
Yet even if they work day and night, they still cannot get enough to eat.
Natural disasters, pests, and the growth rate of crops... these are all hurdles they must face.
If all farmers could use the things sent by Bai, it would lighten the burden on the farmers and allow all the people of Daliang to be well-fed and satisfied.
Everyone looked at Xiao Moting eagerly.
This is a good policy that benefits the country and the people; once promoted nationwide, it will bring welfare to all the people under heaven.
"Regarding this matter, I will first ask for Bai's opinion."
Xiao Moting did not answer immediately; he wanted to consult Bai Wei first.
After all, the seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers were all sent by Bai Wei.
He wrote a note and sent it to Bai Wei.
Soon, he received a reply.
"Xiao Moting, I agree with your wish to promote these things nationwide! The people of Daliang have suffered too much, and I want everyone in the world to be well-fed and warmly clothed."
"I will go wholesale the seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers now and send them over tomorrow. You should issue an order first, telling the nearby farmers in Beijiang to come and collect the seeds to use for planting."
Xiao Moting conveyed Bai Wei's intentions to everyone.
The crowd all around was deeply moved.
"Bai is even going to help buy seeds and pesticides? She is truly kind-hearted."
"The Goddess cares for all the people and wants everyone to have enough to eat."
Xiao Moting gave the order, "Go notify the farmers in the surrounding villages and towns to come to the Northern Frontier Camp in three days to collect seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides; first come, first served."
"Yes."
After eating breakfast, Bai Wei immediately went into the city to buy pesticides.
Xiao Moting's policy is excellent.
With the Northern Frontier Camp well-fed and warmly clothed, he immediately thought of all the people in the world.
Compared to the current monarch, he is more like a wise ruler.
Two hours later, Bai Wei arrived at the seed and pesticide wholesale center in the city.
Last time, the quantity of seeds and pesticides she sent to the Northern Frontier Camp was not large.
This time, since they are to be distributed to farmers throughout Beijiang, she would need to wholesale a large amount.
