Chapter 256: Lord of Cloud City
at dusk.
After Emperor Qing had a cart and a half of fruit taken away by everyone, he also received good news. Censor Li, Minister Lin and Minister Meng were also robbed, so they entered the palace a little late.
But Emperor Qing had said early on that the matter with Princess Fuyao was of great importance, and that they could come to the palace to report at any time.
They went to the princess's farm today and said they had to go to the palace.
The three of them hurried into the palace and finally brought good news to the emperor.
The new variety of wheat on the princess's farm has matured, and its yield per mu is more than half higher than their original wheat variety.
Their original varieties could only produce two or three hundred catties per mu, but the new varieties planted by the princess could actually produce more than 1000 catties per mu.
There are also new varieties of rice that taste good and are very filling, and the yield per mu can also reach an astonishing 1000 kilograms.
They had seen with their own eyes that the grains of these two crops were so full that they bent the stalks. The yield per mu would only be more than what the princess had said, and definitely not less.
The most important thing is that the grains that have matured on the princess's farm are of such good quality that the princess is willing to use them directly as seeds so that there will be places suitable for planting in the second half of the year and she can start planting in advance.
There are also various vegetables in the princess' vegetable garden, lush and vibrant, with so many varieties that it is dazzling. The princess said that these are only the vegetables of this season, and there will be different vegetables and grains in every season.
And the orchards with so many fruits that they bend the branches...
Words are not enough, and when he got excited, Minister Meng went straight to the emperor's small kitchen, took out a bag of rice, picked out a lot of vegetables, and asked someone to cook them.
"Your Majesty, you must try this rice, you must!" Old Meng choked up a little as he spoke. This was something that would fill the national treasury in the future...
He also wanted to get rid of the name of Meng Koukou and live his life with his head held high during his lifetime.
While he was searching, Emperor Qing, Censor Li, and Minister Lin were standing aside.
Minister Lin spotted a box with his sharp eyes and walked over.
He remembered that Miss Su Yue only brought out two boxes, one of which was with His Majesty, and it seemed that the other one should be with Empress Chenfei.
He walked forward and opened the box. A cool breeze hit him in the face. It was actually a box full of ice with four small round jars in the middle.
At this time, a young eunuch came hurriedly holding something in his hand. Li Jing took it and took a look at it, waved his hand to let the young eunuch go down, and walked to the side of Emperor Qing.
He handed the booklet to Emperor Qing and whispered, "Your Majesty, this was sent by the Fourth Prince. It says how to eat the caviar in the ice box, some ways to eat rice, and various ways to eat various vegetables and fruits."
These are all sorted out by Li Jiaojiao in her spare time. For example, watermelon can be made into watermelon jam, watermelon candy, and dried watermelon bean paste. There are also ways to eat watermelon rind, etc.
Thanks to the time difference between the space and the outside, the caviar that Li Jiaojiao placed in the space finally came out.
When she washed and soaked the sturgeon roe, she used the spiritual spring water from the space. The water had a delicate and delicious taste, with a unique ocean flavor and a light salty taste, without any fishy smell. It could be considered quite a success.
On the dinner table.
Emperor Qing asked the three ministers to sit down at the table, and they had dinner together.
A bowl of white rice exudes a light rice aroma, has a soft or slightly chewy texture, and is full and easy to chew.
The vegetables are fresh and delicious, with a light grassy aroma and a refreshing and natural taste.
Caviar has a delicate and delicious taste, with a unique marine flavor and a hint of saltiness.
The iced fruit after the meal is refreshing and pleasant...
The meal was filled with mixed emotions among everyone.
All of this seems like a dream.
When Daqing woke up, there was an extraordinary woman.
Fortunately, this extraordinary woman is in Daqing!
The emperor and his ministers chatted a lot, and it was not until they were about to leave the palace that Minister Lin realized belatedly that he had been so busy eating that he almost forgot that the princess had bought a few more farm tools.
He slapped his thigh and took out three blueprints. Censor Li and Minister Lin, who had already stood up to leave, had no choice but to stay with him for another half an hour...
Emperor Qing: ...
How can he sleep well like this? He can go to the morning court directly after reviewing some more memorials...
……
three days later.
The farmland outside Beijing became bustling again.
Countless carriages, horses and people poured into the farm, attracting the attention of the busy farmers nearby. As a result, there were often people on the farm to provide them with food. They also knew that this farm surrounded by flowers was the farm of Princess Fuyao.
Now that so many people have come, I don’t know what to do.
The large group of carriages and horses belonged to Minister Lin and Minister Meng. Censor Li traveled light and only brought along a servant and a driver.
Minister Lin sent two sets of agricultural tools that he had made overtime, including two threshers, two windmills and two shellers.
The old man's eyes were red from staying up all night, but his face was rosy. If Li Jiaojiao hadn't told him that he didn't need to send them separately, and could just send them together after they were cooked, he would have arrived at the farm long ago.
Also coming along was Minister Meng, who brought his capable subordinates to practice and learn.
Among the students was his good-for-nothing son Meng Siyuan.
And there is Censor Li, who successfully obtained the imperial decree from His Majesty and can follow up on the promotion of grain. However, Censor Li has a hard time as he has to travel back and forth to the capital every two days to report the real-time progress to Emperor Qing in person.
The busy farming season on the farm began in full swing after everyone arrived...
The people brought by Minister Meng were assigned a wheat field and a rice field, and began a series of learning work from harvesting to drying and storage.
Minister Lin also brought a group of people to help everyone learn how to use threshers, windmills and shellers.
From time to time, according to Li Jiaojiao's guidance, they would improve the tools that were not convenient for everyone, and then record them in the book.
In addition, the Ministry of Industry in the capital was also not idle. A large number of threshers, windmills and shelling machines flowed into the market. For this purpose, Minister Lin also applied to Emperor Qing, and the Ministry of Industry added a number of skilled people.
……
At the same time, fruits in the backyard were also being picked.
How could Li Jiaojiao, the princess of Yuncheng, forget the people of Yuncheng? That was the city she built bit by bit.
Yuncheng has experienced a long period of drought, and the crops in the fields are now in the growing stage, so there is still not enough food.
She took out some rice and flour from the space, changed their appearance, and had them delivered directly to the dock.
A large ship was parked at the rudder of the boat gang at the dock. The first elder and the sixth elder of the boat gang were personally at the helm. They brought a lot of seafood and transported it directly to the Wangque Tower in the capital. When they left, they took away a boat full of fruits and vegetables as well as some rice and flour.
Li Jiaojiao stood on the observation tower on the side of the ship, watched the ship leave, and then set off back to the capital.
After receiving a letter from the Princess's Mansion, Princess Yuyi reported to the Mansion every day without missing a day.
