Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

They were not far away; they walked a few steps and arrived in front of Ji Yunshu. Their eyes widened when they saw the large patch of green behind Ji Yunshu.

On this piece of land, three kinds of crops were growing neatly. The princess had shown them the potato seedlings, but they did not recognize the other two.

Ji Yunshu patiently explained the sweet potato seedlings and corn seedlings to them.

"These two crops are similar to potato sprouts. The produce can be eaten as a staple food, and they are both very high-yielding."

"Take these seedlings back and care for them carefully. Eat some and save the rest. Next year, plant the seeds again. In this way, the village will not lack food. Moreover, if the harvest is good, you can sell the grain to earn money and supplement your household income."

Everyone was incredibly excited; seeing so much edible food all at once felt almost unreal.

"Alright, everyone, let's get started. Be careful while digging, and don't break anything or bump it. Be very careful. As for other things, we can talk about them when we get back," Uncle Wu said.

After he finished speaking, he and Aunt Wu took the lead and picked up hoes, carefully starting to dig up the potato seedlings in front of them.

When digging, I made sure to leave some soil around the roots of the potato seedlings so that they would be easier to grow after planting.

The other villagers quickly wiped away their tears and picked up their tools to carefully dig up all the seedlings on the ground.

Worried about bumping or knocking it over, many villagers even used leaves as padding to carefully wrap it up, as if they were holding some fragile treasure.

Ji Yunshu leaned against a large rock to rest, watching the villagers' actions. She sighed inwardly, thinking that no matter how precious the treasures or how much wealth one possessed, they were all worthless in the face of food.

Without the hard work of these ordinary people cultivating the land, no amount of money could buy food.

If she ever goes to the Northwest, she'll definitely buy up half of the country, get two tractors, plant all that land with grain, and hold half of the grain from the neighboring country to the east in her hands!

Then, she will truly become a rich woman.

Hahaha, just thinking about this scene makes her excited.

As long as the emperor doesn't interfere, this scene should be easy to achieve. After all, in the Northwest, apart from her, probably no one can grow anything. Those lands are unwanted and completely barren.

After resting for a while, she joined the team and started digging up the rice seedlings in the ground.

The villagers were diligent and efficient. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they had dug up all the rice seedlings on the ground. On the other side, the men had also caught almost all the pheasants and wild boars in the woods.

Every household dug up some rice seedlings, and caught fifteen chickens and six wild boars.

They collected several baskets of eggs.

The group gathered together, looking at the pile of things, and all felt somewhat incredulous.

Not only them, but even Xie Mohuan and Xie Lin were completely bewildered.

This is so unreal! How can there be so many things in this forest?

Ji Yunshu blinked, looking at the sky with a somewhat speechless expression.

It seems like they went a bit too far.

She had just casually picked things out in the mall, taking a little of everything, not daring to take too much. Unexpectedly, the total number was still quite large when all of them were collected. But it didn't matter.

"Alright, now that we've found everything, let's hurry back. Oh, right, on the way here, I remembered something. There's a small cave next to your village. I vaguely saw water flowing out of it. Let's go check it out. If there really is a water source, the village's water problem will be solved."

Everyone...

Is this princess some kind of clairvoyant being?

How come she discovers all these good things?!

They've lived in this village for decades and never noticed any of this!

The princess must have been sent by heaven to save them, she must have been!

A deity has descended to earth!

The group hurried back towards the village.

As they approached the village, Ji Yunshu plunged into the woods again, saying, just like before, that the water source was nearby.

No one suspected anything, and they continued searching in the woods.

When no one was paying attention, Ji Yunshu found a crevice in the rock and moved the previously diverted spiritual spring water out of her spatial storage.

In an instant, trickling water began to emerge from the previously dry cracks in the rocks.

To make it more realistic, she waited in the same spot for a while before letting the villagers come over.

The villagers were initially skeptical, but when they saw the clear spring water gushing out from the cracks in the rocks, they were completely astonished.

After the initial shock came great joy.

They stood around the spring, as happy as children.

Great! They really found a water source. They'll never have to worry about running out of water again!

Xie Mohuan and Xie Lin were also very happy for the villagers. Looking at the simple smiles on their faces, Xie Mohuan and Xie Lin suddenly felt that it was very meaningful.

These were things they had never seen in the palace before. If they hadn't been exiled, they would never have witnessed the hardships of life along the way.

Uncle Wu led the villagers to Ji Yunshu and they all knelt down with a thud, forming a large group of kneeling people.

Ji Yunshu was startled and quickly helped the person up, but there were too many villagers, and no matter how she tried to help them up, they were unwilling to get up, which made her a little angry.

"Uncle Wu, what are you doing? Quickly tell everyone to get up."

Although she knew that everyone was kneeling down out of gratitude, she was a person who had transmigrated from the modern world, and she still couldn't accept so many elderly people kneeling in front of her; it would shorten her lifespan.

"If you have anything to say, get up and speak first. If you keep kneeling like this, I'll get angry and ignore you."

Her expression was serious, and her tone was devoid of any smile.

When Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu saw that she was really angry, they dared not kneel anymore and stood up, but their eyes were full of gratitude.

"Your Highness, thank you so much. If we hadn't met you, we would probably be eaten by those bandits long ago. You not only saved so many of us, but also helped us find so much food. We really don't know how to thank you enough."

"Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, everyone, this matchmaking is just something I did on a whim. It's fate that we met. I'll help if I can. I don't expect anything in return. I just hope you can live well and live for yourselves."

"If you really want to repay me, come find me in the Northwest when you're able to. Then we can sit down together, have a good drink, and have a chat."

Ji Yunshu was also very happy to meet Wu Bo and the others.

Compared to the so-called relatives in the Minister's mansion, Uncle Wu and others felt much more approachable to her.
