Chapter 1811 Planting Vegetables

Life at that time was full of intrigue and deception. People schemed against each other and used all means to fight for the supreme power and status.

However, now, when she was surrounded by such beautiful scenery, those past disputes seemed to have gradually faded away from her.

Above your head is the clear blue sky with snow-white clouds floating leisurely in it; under your feet is the green grass that extends to the horizon and connects with the rolling mountains in the distance.

Such a magnificent scene brought about a drastic change in Ye Zifen's state of mind.

Faced with such heavy topics as life and death, she has been able to see things more clearly, and has become more calm and accepting of the natural laws of birth, aging, sickness and death.

Just as Ye Zifen was immersed in her memories, the retired emperor's voice, appearance and smile in the past appeared before her eyes again - the awe-inspiring majesty and the hidden kindness.

Thinking of this, an indescribable sadness suddenly surged in her heart, but she knew very well that fate was unpredictable and life and death were determined by heaven, which was a fact that no one could change.

So she suppressed the pain in her heart and let the tears well up in her eyes.

But just a moment later, she raised her hand and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, regaining her usual resolute expression.

Ye Zifen took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the busy crowd.

The grass under his feet made a slight sound, as if accompanying his firm steps.

A resolute look returned to her face and she threw herself into the busy tasks at hand.

She wants to use her actions to bring more hope and change to this grassland.

A few days ago, the grain harvest was completed.

Although the grain production here is still far behind that in Ye Zifen's hometown, looking at the mountains of results in front of her, she still feels an indescribable joy and hope deep in her heart.

After all, these precious food resources are enough to sustain them for the next whole year.

With the vision of a better life in mind, Ye Zifen and many Han people gathered together to discuss their future livelihood plans.

After careful consideration, everyone finally reached a consensus: while there is still time, we should seize the opportunity to plant a batch of vegetable varieties that can be mature and picked in the short term.

The vegetables selected by everyone are all common types of green vegetables. After they grow to their best condition, they can be processed into dried vegetables that are easy to preserve. This way, they can better deal with possible emergencies or shortages of supplies.

The idea was decided, and the whole village became lively in an instant. The strong and healthy laborers all started to work in the fields, holding farm tools and working hard to cultivate the land.

This time, they adopted a more intensive and sophisticated farming method - deep plowing, aiming to create a fertile and soft environment that is conducive to rooting and growth for the rapeseed to be planted.

The scorching sun mercilessly burned the earth. The foreheads of the strong laborers were soon covered with crystal clear beads of sweat. However, there was no intention of slowing down the movements of their hands. Everyone was concentrating on working hard, as if they wanted to pour all their strength into the land beneath their feet.

They were extremely worried, fearing that the nasty insect eggs were still lurking deep in the earth and would cause another terrible insect plague once the time was right.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look solemn. They gripped the hoes tightly with both hands and swung them vigorously with all their strength.

Every time the hoe was dug into the soil, it seemed as if it was going to turn the land upside down.

As the hoe rose and fell again and again, the originally flat land was dug into gullies and potholes.

But they did not stop and continued to work tirelessly until the entire land was deeply turned over, exposing the moist inner layer of soil.

Then they put down their hoes temporarily and stood quietly aside, allowing the scorching sun to shine directly on the newly cultivated land.

Strong ultraviolet rays penetrate the soil mercilessly, intending to kill any possible surviving insect eggs.

After a period of exposure to the sun, the land gradually became dry.

At this time, they started to act without stopping, picking up buckets or connecting water pipes to re-irrigate the land with clean water.

The cool water slowly moistens the dry land, making a subtle sizzling sound, as if telling of rebirth and hope.

After completing this series of work, the land has finally completed its preliminary preparation and can be fully prepared for the subsequent sowing.

At the same time, in another area not far away, herdsmen were also busy.

They stared intently at the barren land with no grass growing on it, their brows furrowed, their eyes filled with determination and deep worry.

It turned out that they had long realized that these grassless areas were facing an increasingly serious desertification problem. If effective measures were not taken to control it, it would not be long before the entire grassland would be swallowed up by yellow sand.

In order to protect their homes and to leave a green land for future generations, the herdsmen carried bags full of grass seeds without hesitation and walked towards the barren lands with steady steps.

They bent down, gently and carefully picked up handfuls of grass seeds, and scattered them evenly on the bare ground.

Each grass seed carries their earnest hope for a better life in the future. It falls gently with the breeze and blends into this barren land.

In recent days, the vast grassland has welcomed a heavy rainfall.

The crystal clear raindrops fell on the earth like pearls, nourishing the fertile land.

This timely rain made the grassland, which was already full of vitality and vigor, even more green and lush.

When people learned that the rain was coming, they couldn't help but feel an irrepressible excitement in their hearts.

Everyone knows what rain means to grasslands - it not only nourishes the grass and makes it thrive, but it is also an excellent time for sowing.

As a result, people were ready to take advantage of this rare opportunity to sow more grass seeds in the hope of having a more abundant harvest next year.

Meanwhile, Ye Zifen was not idle either. She told Zhang Gaoyi the details of the matter concerning the retired emperor.

After listening to this, Zhang Gaoyi frowned slightly, but soon relaxed his brows, as if he had made up his mind.

At this time, the wall of the city where Zhang Gaoyi was located had been completed.

Those sturdy and tall city walls are like a giant dragon winding around the city, giving people a feeling of being indestructible.

It also gave people who came later a greater sense of security.
