Chapter 372 Agriculture Improvement
"I'll give you the remaining seeds in the hope that you can take the villagers to plant these crops."
Zhou Xiaoyuan said, "I will write you a detailed planting and eating method. I hope you can make good use of them."
After hearing Zhou Xiaoyuan's words, the farmer couldn't help but feel grateful. He knew that he was able to get such an opportunity entirely because of Zhou Xiaoyuan's help.
He decided to work harder in the future and make greater contributions to the country's agricultural development.
Xia Yechen couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw the grateful look on the farmer's face.
He thought that his princess was so capable. She not only taught the villagers how to grow these crops, but also helped the agricultural development of Beizhou to be further improved.
He decided to pay more attention to and support Zhou Xiaoyuan's actions and ideas in the future.
Xia Yechen walked out of the palace with Zhou Xiaoyuan and the agricultural officer. Zhou Xiaoyuan heard some movement outside the house and couldn't help but be confused. After hearing the sound, the agricultural officer showed an embarrassed look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yechen asked.
"No...it's nothing." The farmer replied quickly, "It's just some common people who gathered together and wanted to see you."
After hearing this, Xia Yechen couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He has been in Beizhou for many days, but he has never had time to understand the people's sentiments.
He thought that as a prince, he should care more about the suffering of the people. So, he decided to go out with the agricultural officer to have a look.
When Xia Yechen appeared in front of the people, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd. He couldn't help but feel touched when he saw the grateful faces of the people.
He knew his princess had taught him
How they grew those new crops gave them hope for life.
"The trouble caused by the common people quickly reached the ears of various officials." An official reported to Xia Yechen, "Officials in Beizhou spontaneously publicized that you are a good master."
After Xia Yechen heard these words, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He knew that he was able to receive such an evaluation entirely because of his princess Zhou Xiaoyuan.
He decided to pay more attention to and support Zhou Xiaoyuan's actions and ideas in the future.
At the gate of the palace, Zhou Xiaoyuan saw a familiar face - the female workers in the workshop. They are workers in the workshop opened by Zhou Xiaoyuan in Beizhou.
They told Zhou Xiaoyuan that more and more people now believe that those crops are real.
"Princess Rong, you are so kind." said a female worker. "You not only taught us how to grow those crops, but also made our lives better."
After Zhou Xiaoyuan heard these words, she couldn't help but feel a little moved. She knows her hard work has paid off and that these crops will play a very important role in the development of agriculture in the North State.
However, not all people were grateful to Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Yechen. Some men believe that Zhou Xiaoyuan does not abide by women's ethics and should not be exposed in public.
They began to smear Zhou Xiaoyuan's reputation, causing her image to be greatly damaged.
"Nini, you have grown up and can no longer wear a bellyband. Come and try this. These are children's pajamas that I customized for you." Zhou Xiaoyuan said to Nini with a smile.
Nini looked at the exquisite pajamas in Zhou Xiaoyuan's hands, filled with curiosity. She didn't know that this pajama and bellyband had
No difference, but she knew Zhou Xiaoyuan would not harm her.
So she put on her pajamas obediently.
"Nini, this pajama is specially designed for you. It will protect your body and prevent you from catching a cold while sleeping." Zhou Xiaoyuan gently stroked Nini's head and said.
After listening to Zhou Xiaoyuan's words, Nini couldn't help but feel a little moved. She knew that Zhou Xiaoyuan was doing it for her own good, so she decided to listen carefully to Zhou Xiaoyuan's words in the future.
Just as the two were immersed in the warm atmosphere, a guard suddenly came to report the news.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the border! The Ji'an people suddenly launched an attack, and Seoul's military rations are almost exhausted." The guard knelt on the ground and said nervously.
After Xia Yechen heard the news, he couldn't help but feel worried. He knew that this war was no longer a simple battle of victory or defeat, but a matter of life and death for the entire country.
He decided to solve the problem of military rations as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, I think we should report to the capital as soon as possible and request support." An official advised Xia Yechen.
After Xia Yechen heard the official's words, he couldn't help but hesitate. He knew that it would take some time to report to the capital, and the situation in Seoul was no longer optimistic.
So, he decided to solve the problem himself.
"Your Majesty, can the potato and corn harvest support Seoul's military rations?" Zhou Xiaoyuan asked Xia Yechen.
"How... how is this possible?" one official said in surprise, "How can corn and potatoes be as good as whole grains?"
Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help laughing after hearing what the official said. She knew that these officials still didn't know much about corn and potatoes.
Staying in the past, they had no idea of the potential of these two crops.
So, she decided to explain it to them.
“Corn and potatoes are very nutritious and very productive.”
Zhou Xiaoyuan explained, "As long as we make good use of them, they can not only support Seoul's military supplies, but also keep all the people fed."
Xia Yechen looked at the agricultural officer with some worry and said, "Agricultural officer, how is the progress over there? If possible, I hope to see more crops mature as soon as possible."
After hearing Xia Yechen's words, the farmer couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He knew that Xia Yechen was the emperor and hoped to solve Seoul's military food problem as soon as possible.
So, he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we are stepping up planting, and it is estimated that new crops will mature soon."
After Xia Yechen heard the agricultural officer's answer, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He knew that the agricultural officer and his villagers had paid a lot for the agricultural development of Beizhou, and now they were finally paying off.
Therefore, he decided to forcefully recruit military supplies from all the cities in Beizhou and send them to Seoul for emergency relief.
After the news came out, the people in Beizhou did not understand Xia Yechen's actions and sighed, thinking that Xia Yechen was going to starve them to death.
"Your Majesty, you are trying to starve our people to death." An old woman cried and complained to Xia Yechen, "We finally managed to get some harvest, and you are going to take away our food again."
After Xia Yechen heard what the old woman said, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He knew that what he was doing was indeed unfair to the people, but he also knew that it was for the benefit of the entire country.
So, he decided to go to the people in person
Let us explain.
"Common people, I know you don't understand what I'm doing." Xia Yechen said to the people, "but Seoul's military food problem is already very serious."
"If we don't take measures, Seoul will fall. For the sake of the country, we must use part of the food to support the front line."
