Su Wan was thinking of using hydroponics to grow vegetables. Though she might not be able to grow the ones that were not water-based yet, she was confident in growing the water-based vegetables as long as she could create the nutrient-rich solution in a pot.


    At least she would be able to grow the green and leafy vegetables. If possible she had once tried to grow tomatoes in the same manner and had seeded maybe if she followed the same process she might be able to grow tomatoes in this city as well.


    Though potatoes and other root vegetables were a bit hard to grow, with proper care they could be grown as well. More importantly, potatoes were one of the most sustainable crops thus, Su Wan truly wanted to work on this n of hydroponics farming of hers.


    If she was lucky then she would be able to grow strawberries and cucumbers as well. Even beans could be grown which can further lead to the creation of vermicelli.


    She had already thought of making vermicelli through green beans already.


    Lin Rui nodded and then, " Yes, I will go and have a chat with Pei Huai and Lu Nanyun. Though they are linked to the Lai family, they still have a bottom line, if I mention it to them then they will be more than happy to start this soiless farming with you."


    The good pieces ofnd here were all taken by the Lai family, thus even when the people of thisnd wanted to farm they could note up with a way to grow vegetables as the salinend here was not good to grow vegetables.


    " But what about water? If we are going to start soilless farming then we will have toe up with a way to get more water which is suitable for farming right?" Lin Yan mentioned with a frown. " The drinkable water here is not enough."


    " You do not have to worry about that," Su Wan waved her hand and said, " There are enough streams and rivers at a short distance away from this city, we just need toe up with a way to start irrigation and build canals nothing more, something that we will be solved as long as the imperial decree falls in my hands."


    Su Wan wanted to slowly weaken the Lai family by supporting themoners. As long as themoners were rich, she would love to see how they would continue to act like a tyrant in thisnd.


    She then blinked her eyes and added, " If possible uncle can you think of a way to get your hands on peanuts and soybeans seeds? We might as well start making oil from it."


    Though the wastnd was not good enough to grow vegetables, peanuts and soybeans did not require much and could be grown easily. And with her special fertilizer, they would be much better than any other peanuts and soybeans grown by others.


    " Sure, I will get someone to bring the seeds," Shen Junxi patted his chest as he nodded. He was thinking that he had gotten more and more useless these days but now that he finally had something to do, he was more than happy.


    He then paused and added, " Are you sure that you do not want me to intervene in the matter of the Lai family?" If he dealt with them, they would not even get the chance to plead for their lives.


    Su Wan however shook her head and then said, " I cannot rely on you and uncles all the time. Now that I am a county magistrate I need to deal with such things on my own, what''s more … if you make a move then the Lai family will say that I am bullying them but if they fall in a pit dug by themselves, they will have no choice but to suffer in silence."


    She was not a fool. How could she give the Lai family a chance to cry? It was better if they sobbed silently to death!


    The next day after Su Wan was done ying with her children once they were full, she headed to the county magistrate''s office where she told Pei Huai, Yan Zhao and Lu Nanyun about soilless farming.


    " If we focus on this project, then we might be able to grow greens, tomatoes, beans, celery, spring onions, cucumbers and herbs," Su Wan exined the matter to them in great detail. " In fact, if we seed then growing potatoes, carrots, radish and ginger would not be too difficult."


    She then raised her head and stated coldly, " Potatoes are sustainable crops we can use them at any point, as long as we seed then we will not have to worry about themoners starving in the winters."


    Su Wan paused and added, " Whats more I have thought of a way to extract oil from peanuts and soybeans, we can do the same with rice bran but I am afraid that we do not have any paddies here ignoring the ones that are illegal," she nced at Pei Huai who touched his nose guiltily.


    " Owned by the Lai family, I would have given them a chance to join hands together but I am afraid that with their greed they will soon push out themoners and then takeplete control over the mill which will be damaging the entire goal."


    " We can also use green beans like mung beans to make bean thread noodles or vermicelli ording to you all."


    When Lord Yan heard that there was a chance to make themoners rich he was more than happy. He agreed to bring some good soybean seeds as well as peanuts seeds to Su Wan and he also agreed to makerge and medium pots as asked by Su Wan.


    Though he was a bit worried about watering the crops, when he listened to Su Wan''s ns of makingrge canals to transport water he was thrilled!
