Chapter 1393: Ask the Fourth Master for advice
The crown princess is usually so dignified and thoughtful, she has every reason to believe that this woman did it to her after careful consideration.
In other words, there is not the slightest possibility of reconciliation between her and the crown princess.
Of course, she didn't want to reconcile with this woman who had been calculating for decades for a position of power.
She will work hard and then kick her throne over.
Xiao Qi held his chin and looked at her: "Boss, you have triggered a new task." ”
Chu Xian's face was flat: "Is it related to the crown princess?" ”
"Within ten years, your status in Kangxiye's heart will surpass that of the crown princess." Xiao Qi spread his hands: "If the task is successful, you will be rewarded with 500 days of health, and if you fail, you will be deducted 100 days of health, 10 points of appearance, 50 points of random skills, and a level of weakness for one year." ”
Xiao Qi was a little panicked in his heart: "Alas, you want to settle accounts with the crown princess, why do you think so far all at once." I think this task is a bit difficult, or you usually collect more attributes, in case you are detained as a fool at that time. ”
Chu Xian rubbed its head: "I won't fail this task." ”
"You're so confident?"
"Hmm."
"Why?"
"Because, I have you."
There are four masters, five grids, three other brothers, so many available people up and down the prince's mansion, and Xiao Qi, she won't lose.
She will take matters into her own hands and kick that vicious woman off the throne.
……
When I returned home that day, it was already dark.
The couple had dinner, one teasing the children, and the other sitting under the window, lying on the small table and writing.
It was Chu Xian who wrote things, and it was the fourth master who teased the child.
At first, the fourth master thought that she was writing something related to tomorrow's housewarming banquet, but after seeing Chu Xian's eyebrows and thinking hard, he knew that it was not.
asked the two children to be carried down, he sat down opposite her, took a sip of tea, and said casually: "Why are you sad?" ”
Chu Xian was holding her chin and thinking about it, when she heard the words, she looked at him: "I'm thinking, what should I do if I want the people to increase the harvest." ”
The thoughts in her heart can only be prioritized.
The fourth master pondered for a moment: "What the people want, the only thing they want is the wind and rain and a few acres of fertile land." ”
"The master came in and looked through the account books of the household department, and found that even if the wind and rain were smooth, there was not much surplus food in the year. Even if there is a surplus, every few years there will be floods or droughts, and the surplus food that the people have saved up will be consumed again. And so on and so forth, and the poor suffer. ”
Therefore, Huang Ama has inspected the Yongding River many times in the hope of reducing the number of floods near Gyeonggi. In recent years, it has paid off. A lot of fertile land has been cultivated on both sides of the Yongding River, but the people still can't really fill their stomachs. ”
"Reducing flooding hasn't done much?"
The fourth master frowned: "If the wind and rain are smooth, one acre of fertile land near Gyeonggi can get two stones." The rice fields on the south side of the Yangtze River can get three stones. The harvest of good land is only three stones a year, and a person must eat at least four stones of grain a year. ”
Chu Xian calculated in her heart, one stone in the Qing Dynasty was about more than 130 catties in modern times, and three stones were only 400 catties. No wonder the fourth master, the main head of the household department, frowned.
Just thinking about it, I heard the fourth master continue: "In addition to the annual tax and the owner's commission, even if it is a peaceful year, the surplus food left in the hands of the people is still not enough for the family to chew. In the past few years, when the lord followed Huang Ama to survey the river workers and patrol Gyeonggi with microservices, I heard from the people that even in the peaceful year, they would take the grain outside to exchange for coarse grains, wild vegetables, and sweet potatoes. ”
