Traveling Through Land Reclamation: Farmers' Women Can't Be Dizzled

Chapter 314 Harvest

 

  Duke Denguo had fallen, and many ministers in the palace were trembling.

  When Xu Liangsheng returned home and told his wife about the fate of the Durguo house, he still had fear left.

  Madam Xu frowned and said: "My master, what the Lu family did was a crime worthy of death. It was just that the Lu family collapsed as it was said. The Lu family also committed suicide, and the empress disappeared. Very pitifully, they took the opportunity to force the Holy One to turn into a queen, and they were extremely shameless. If Your Majesty doesn't clean them up, what are they waiting for?" Xu Liangsheng did not look at anyone in the room and whispered to his wife: "Lu Zhilan knows

  that If she wanted to enter the palace as a concubine, she might even become a queen, and she originally wanted to enter the palace, but it must have been strange for her to do that. a scandal." Madam Xu looked at her husband

  and whispered: "Are you not suspicious that someone is plotting against the Lu family?"

  Xu Liangsheng said: "I got a message that His Majesty would not accept it. a concubine at all, and the imperial decision to accept a concubine was issued by the Supreme Emperor. His Majesty even fought with the Supreme Emperor over this matter. The Great Emperor felt that the Empress had too

  much influence on the Empress, and wanted to use other women to distract the Empress from her love for the Empress. But the Emperor did not want another woman. The disappearance of the Empress was most likely related to the imperial decree given by the Supreme Emperor to the Empress. It's related."

  Madam Xu felt that something was amiss when she heard those words, and said: "Teacher, do you think the matter of Lu Zhilan will have His Majesty's handwriting? Will our Yin Yin family be in danger?" The more Mrs. Xu thought about it, the more worried she was, and she grabbed onto her husband

  He said: "My master, we Yinyin do not want to enter the palace at all, but there is nothing we can do with the imperial decree in the palace. The emperor is getting stronger. I guess the emperor will not be able to control the emperor in the future. If the emperor doesn't want us to enter the palace, is it alright?" Is that bad for us Yinyin ?"

  Xu Liangsheng frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Tomorrow I will go to see His Majesty, and tell my Yinyin that our family is not in good health. I beg Your Majesty to save our daughter from entering the palace. If Your Majesty really does not want If our daughter enters the palace, she will definitely grant my request. Then we don't have to worry about that."

  Madam Xu nodded and said: "That's how. We don't want our daughter to enter the palace. It would be nice if His Majesty agreed. It's just that my daughter's marriage might be affected. It was also more dangerous than entering the palace and being ignored or even dangerous." Nice."

  Xu Liangsheng did not delay the next day and went to the emperor alone to convey his request.

  Xiao Yilin called Xu Liangsheng in Zichen Palace, and was very happy to hear Xu Liangsheng's request, she felt that Xu Liangsheng was very knowledgeable about current affairs, so she agreed to his request.

  This way, he broke two women who were about to enter the palace, and only two remained. He will find a way out of both obstacles.

  Xu Liangsheng walked out of Zichen Palace, remembering the tone of His Majesty's words and the expression on his face, and knew that he had taken the right steps. He felt that His Majesty had absolutely no intention of letting the women of the Great Emperor's imperial decree enter the palace at all. He took the initiative to request that his daughter be unable to enter the palace, which was in line with His Majesty's thoughts, so it seemed that his daughter and the Xu family were safe.

  Jing Yi did not know that Xiao Yilin was looking for him while stabilizing the government, and still removed the obstacles between them little by little. Now that she was pregnant and had a lot to deal with, she had no time to think about Xiao Yilin at all.

  In early spring, the food and other crops he led to be planted by his men were harvested one after another. Whether it is rice, wheat or potatoes, it is a great harvest. The results surprised everyone involved in agriculture.

  Jing Yi also demonstrated to everyone how to eat potatoes. Everyone does not expect that potatoes not only have a high yield, but can also make any kind of delicious food. This was the first time everyone had seen him. With these high yield potatoes, everyone need not worry about filling their stomachs.

  After this group of farmers harvested, they could be completely independent, and Jing Yi did not need to buy food from outside.

  The salt drying fields built by Song Yuancheng were very successful, and many coarse salts had been dried. The veterans who went to build salt fields built houses there for a long time, and they kept it a secret.

  When the veterans saw the salt produced by the seawater for the first time, they were so excited that tears filled their eyes.

  In ancient times, due to the limited knowledge of the ancients, they could only make salt by directly putting an iron pot on the stove and lighting a fire to boil salt water.

  Cooking this kind of primitive salt takes time, consumes fuel, and produces less, so the price of salt is expensive.The salt trade was a profitable industry in ancient times.

  In addition, all dynasties had brought the salt trade to the imperial court and forbade the manufacture and sale of salt privately.The salt trade had become an important source of tax revenue for the court of all dynasties.

  Moreover, the source of salt production was generally controlled by the imperial court, and individuals had no raw materials despite wanting to make salt.

  Since the production of Beiyan salt was very small, he needed to buy it from Jin State or Yi State, which also made them pay a lot of money every year. Beiyan has also waged a war for salt.

  So that both the public and officials know the importance of salt. These veterans know better.

  It's nice that salt can dry up in seawater now. After all, sea water is endless, and it is also very easy to dry the salt in a salt pan, which is a profitable business.

  There was also a workshop at the foot of the mountain in the sun-dried salt field, under Jing Yi's guidance, the coarse salt that had been dried was reconstituted, filtered, and crystallized to obtain a relatively clean salt.

  Now that Jing Yi was uncomfortable, she had yet to find a reagent to remove the salt-soluble impurities, so she could only do this first. Even so, such salt was good enough for the ancients.

  Song Yuancheng was also very excited when he saw the white table salt after it was processed. As a former member of the family, he must have known what this meant. With this steady flow of salt, they would make a lot of money, and it would be easier to develop their strength.

  Jing Yi was greatly relieved to hand over the salt fields to Song Yuancheng, and he then sent Qiao Hong there.

  Song Yuancheng had more important things to do in the future, and when Qiao Hong grew up, he would hand over the salt fields to Qiao Hong to manage.

  Jing Yi's pregnancy had reached the final stage, Qin and Liu's mother and son had made many small clothes for Jing Yi's child, the diapers and small blankets were also ready.

  Jing Yi placed great importance on this child, and she asked to use a soft cotton cloth for diapers, clothes, blankets, etc prepared for the child.

  She was afraid of not having milk, so she asked people to raise cows and sheep, even though she did not have milk, she could let her child drink cow's milk or goat's milk.

  During this time, Jing Yi taught Qu a lot of medical science, which made Qu a lot of progress. Especially Jing Yi who taught Qu Shi a lot in terms of labor, mother care, baby care, etc. Qu Shi was very grateful and caring for baby Jing Yi.
