Chapter 227: Farming
"Oh, you don't think you just said that, did you?" Lao Kang looked at the buns with a smile and asked slowly.
"Really? Did the sons say anything that upset Amma? I think Amma must have listened to the errand just now, and his sons have always worshiped Amma. Long Dan's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said seriously.
The buns all nodded their little heads with affirmation, looking at Kangxi's little expression, which was called admiration!
"Oh? Is it? I don't seem to be old enough to understand words, do I? Kangxi was still not ready to spare the buns, and then said a blow.
Shuyun couldn't bear to look at the children embarrassed, but in front of the Queen Mother, it was not good for Kangxi to do it. could only quickly divert the topic and said to Kangxi: "When is the emperor going to leave?" ”
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the next thing to harvest is to harvest the crops, and these things need to be presided over by me in the center, so the departure date is tentatively set for September 28." Thinking that Kangxi understood Shuyun's intentions, although he answered Shuyun's question, his eyes never left the buns.
For Lao Kang's competition with the children, Shuyun despised it very much. But it's hard to say anything, don't you allow people to be Amma's sons? But to deal with Lao Kang, Shuyun still has a way.
After glancing at Kangxi lightly, Shuyun smiled and said, "Oh, then the concubine will rest assured." After the rice harvest in Zhuangzi this year, it can be used for seeding, and if it is properly managed, the average yield per mu can reach more than eight stones. ”
As soon as these words came out, Kangxi couldn't care about competing with the buns anymore. Standing up suddenly, he looked at Shuyun excitedly and asked, "Is this really happening?" ”
The buns and the queen mother were taken aback by Kangxi's sudden move. A little stunned, he patrolled back and forth on Kangxi and Shuyun.
"Well, it's done." Shuyun nodded. Say yes.
"Great." Kangxi clenched his fists, and his face was unconcealably happy.
"Your Majesty, don't be busy and happy. The concubine has another happy event to tell the emperor. ”
"Oh, and happy events? If there could be anything more pleasing than this, I'd love to hear about it. Kangxi said with some disapproval.
"If the happy event that the concubine said can really be compared with this matter, then can the emperor agree to take the children on a southern tour?"
"Tell me about it, and if you can really surprise me, I can say yes right away." Kangxi didn't want to drop the buns, but he just saw that these little bastards were too annoying, so he wanted to use this as an excuse to pick up the buns. Now that Shuyun has put forward the conditions. Then it doesn't hurt to say yes.
In fact, Shuyun also knew that Kangxi, who was just teasing the buns, but when she saw the children embarrassed by Lao Kang, Shuyun still couldn't help but feel distressed. Anyway, these things, Shuyun is also ready to say, it is better to use them now, so as to buy them for the buns.
The back and forth conversation between the two made the Queen Mother and the buns very interested. Especially after Shuyun put forward the conditions, the buns looked at their own mother's eyes, which was called eager.
Shuyun smiled comfortingly at the buns, and said to Kangxi with a straight face: "Wait until the beginning of spring next year." After the winter wheat is harvested, it can also be planted, and the yield per mu will be only a lot more than that of rice - can this happy event still satisfy the emperor? ”
Kangxi believed in Shuyun's words, because he knew that no one dared to joke about such a thing.
Kangxi looked at Shuyun blankly for a long time. Cai Yu said tremblingly: "Okay, okay, I will be rich and healthy from now on." The people will no longer suffer from famine, I am. Finally it did. ”
"Emperor, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing? How happy to be like this? The Queen Mother couldn't help but interrupt Kangxi's thoughts and asked with some puzzlement.
Looking at the appearance of their own Amma, the buns knew that there was a way to do this, and they were also excited, and their little faces were red and red. Looking at Shuyun's eyes full of adoration!
Kangxi doesn't care about the attitude of the buns at this time. Waving his arm, he said to the Queen Mother: "Hehe, Huang Eniang, since the sixteenth year, Shuyun has been researching high-yield rice and wheat, and now she has finally succeeded in breeding." Coupled with the seeds of corn, sweet potatoes and tomatoes that Shuyun provided earlier, we will never be trapped by food problems in the future. ”
"This, is this true? Did you just say that the eight stones per mu are the wheat and rice that Shuyun researched? The Queen Mother asked in disbelief with her eyes wide.
"Yes, Huang Eniang."
got a positive answer, and the Queen Mother also became excited. The yield of rice and wheat per mu is more than eight stones, and everyone knows what this means, how can they not be excited.
Kangxi was an emperor who attached great importance to agriculture. When he was in the 11th year of Kangxi, he performed the pro-ploughing ceremony for the first time. That is, to take the princes and ministers to the Xiannongtan to personally plow the land. Since then, he has not been left behind once during his reign.
Kangxi not only attaches great importance to agriculture, but also likes to farm, he once said something like this: "I like crops since I was a child, and the seeds of grains and vegetables from all parties must be planted to see their harvest." ”
In Xiyuan, it is now Zhongnanhai Fengze Garden. There are ten acres of one cent of land, which is Kangxi's test field. Kangxi planted dozens of crops there. Most of the food and fruits he eats come from there.
But there are two sides to everything, although Kangxi was the greatest and most successful ruler in the world at that time, but it was precisely because he attached so much importance to agriculture that he was never able to jump out of the circle of agricultural civilization and was overtaken by the latecomers of Western countries who began to develop industry, which was also his most failure.
Now, with the seeds of several high-yielding crops provided by Shuyun, the food problem has been completely solved. The three feudatories and Taiwan were also flattened, and the river affairs that plagued the Qing Dynasty were now well managed. The goals set by Kangxi after he became pro-government have been achieved. The only thing that can give Kangxi a bit of a headache now is the Jungger problem. But as long as there is enough food and grass, the problem of Dzungar will no longer be a problem.
Kangxi is only 31 years old now, which is the most energetic age, and he is an idle person.
Then, the future of the Qing Dynasty is really worth looking forward to
"Amma, Amma, can my sons go to Jiangnan with you?" Long Dan tugged at Lao Kang's sleeve and asked eagerly.
"Well, yes, all go, all go." Kangxi is in a very comfortable mood now, and a few little bastards who gave him a headache have also become very pleasing to the eye, so he immediately agreed with a smile and didn't embarrass the buns anymore.
"Oh, that's great, long live Amma." The buns jumped up happily and cheered in unison.
It was already a little late, and Shuyun and Kangxi chatted with the high-spirited Queen Mother for a while, and then took the buns back to Jingren Palace.
It was the first time for Shuyun to live in this palace that belonged to her. Jingren Palace is very elegantly furnished, and it is spotless. The layout and furnishings are also compared to Shuyun's residence in Xiangxuehai. Moreover, the entire Jingren Palace is empty, and there are no low-level concubines in the side halls. Obviously, Kangxi put a lot of thought into it.
For this, Shuyun is also very grateful to Lao Kang.
Shuyun has been separated from the buns for almost three months, and of course she is reluctant to let them go to the brother's house again. He left them behind with Lao Kang.
Kangxi also knows Shuyun's thoughts, but the buns will take away most of Shuyun's attention, and he will definitely be thrown aside at that time, so he is a little reluctant in his heart. But in the face of Shuyun's pleading eyes, Kangxi really couldn't refuse, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.
The buns don't care about that, in their impression, Eniang belongs to them. Even Amma can't stop them from getting close to Eniang. So without waiting for Kangxi's consent, he went straight to Shuyun's dormitory.
When he arrived, he took off his coat cracklingly, and rushed into the bathroom one by one naked. While running, Long Dan also shouted: "E-Niang, come in and wash with your little babies, it's so hot today, the sons are sweating all over their bodies, and E-Niang is also very hot."
Lao Kang regrets this. I was really full, why did I agree to let these little bastards come with me.
After regretting it, Kangxi began to get angry again. It's just that you go to the bath by yourself, and I don't object to dragging your Eniang, after all, it is your filial piety. But why did I miss it alone? Oh, just you and your mothers are hot enough, so why don't you get hot together?
A bunch of little ones with no conscience!
"Amma, take a bath with Yuanyuan, okay?" Just when Kangxi was remorseful and angry, and was very complaining, Yuanyuan pulled Kangxi's clothes with a milky voice and said to save him.
Lao Kang was so moved, he picked up Yuanyuan and kissed him fiercely on his daughter's meaty little face. looked at Shuyun provocatively. Only then did he happily carry his baby girl into the bathroom.
Fortunately, the bathroom in Jingren Palace is big enough, Shuyun and Lao Kang are with a group of children, and the nine people are not too crowded to flutter in it.
The minions were all sent out, and at this time, Shuyun didn't like to have outsiders present the most. Kangxi also knew that Dao Shuyun's habit was not a big deal anyway, so he didn't care about Shuyun.
After taking a bath, the buns jumped to the only carved bed in the dormitory one by one.
Lao Kang, who came out closely, couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.
Shuyun saw Lao Kang standing there motionless, and then looked at the buns jumping excitedly on the bed, and knew that Lao Kang was not happy again.
Shuyun was afraid that Lao Kang would drive away the buns, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lao Kang's hand, shook it tightly, and looked at Lao Kang with pleading eyes.
Lao Kang sighed helplessly, and then bowed his head and whispered ambiguously in Shuyun's ear: "Concubine Ai will make up for me in the future!" ”
Shuyun glanced at Lao Kang with disgust, and peeked at the buns again, seeing that they didn't pay attention to this, she tapped her head imperceptibly.
This time, Lao Kang was satisfied, and pulled Shuyun towards the buns with a smile.
