All plants in their last phase of life would mutate, so Zhao Chuchu stocked up on a variety of high-yielding crop seeds. They were genetically engineered by scientists to grow on their own and had no side effects on humans when consumed.
Although techniques were needed to cultivate the seeds, it was better than letting Zhao Chuchu conduct cross-breeding herself. She was, after all, an amateur.
Moreover, even if the seeds did not produce the best yield, their mediocre performance would still be better than a harvest of 300 to 400 jin per mu!
Zhao Chuchu contemplated this as she looked out at the barren mountains.
She also had a basic understanding of the Wei Dynasty from her stay of 20-odd days.
The imperial court did not collect taxes for the first three years of reclaiming the wasteland.
Labor was very cheap during this dynasty. If given the chance to help reclaim the wasteland for 20 coppers a day, many people would fight to do it.
