"But think about it, the people live on food. Even if I am a daughter, if I don't eat for ten days, I will lose my life. Agriculture is the foundation of all industries and the foundation of the country. Even the emperors of all dynasties have many records of personal farming. ”

"The elder family also went to Gyeonggi from time to time to inspect the farmland, and he also personally worked in the wheat and rice fields. He does it all the old people, but I'm just a little prince Fujin, how can I not do it? ”

"I have so many grain orchards in my hands, wouldn't I be ashamed if I didn't even know how these grains and fruits grew out of the ground?"

"Farming is not lowly at all." Chu Xian's expression was solemn: "Whoever dares to say that this matter is lowly again, I will let someone tie his neck with an iron chain and let him never eat again in his life." ”

Everyone wiped the corners of their eyes and got up to help grow vegetables.

But these girls, who have been serving in various mansions since childhood, actually don't move at all.

After being in a hurry for a while, he was demonstrated a few times by Yang's second daughter-in-law before he slowly got started.

All of a sudden, those who dig pits, fetch water, divide seedlings, and bury soil are very busy.

These little girls who have been serving by the master's side for a long time probably feel novel, chattering in twos and threes, and exchanging experiences while working.

Chu Xian knew that these people were so happy because of the novelty, but she still felt that she had made a good start.

I hope that in the future, everyone in the Four Princes' Mansion will be pragmatic.

Mama Lan originally came to ask Chu Xian with the post she had just written, but when she stood behind the flower room, she saw everyone kneeling in front of Chu Xian, so she didn't rush over.

She thought that Chu Xian would give up the idea of growing vegetables herself when she was begged by so many people, and she didn't want her to not only insist but also educate everyone.

Mama Lan felt that it was necessary to report this matter to Li Dequan today.

……

……

When the fourth master came back in the evening, Chu Xian had just come out of the vegetable garden and sat on a bamboo stool to wash her hands. There is a small bamboo table next to it, and there are snacks and tea.

Several little girls were inspecting the vegetable seedlings according to the guidance of Yang's second daughter-in-law.

Chu Xian washed her hands while asking Yang's second daughter-in-law about the people planting crops.

The fourth master stood on the bluestone path, watching and listening quietly, without speaking, and without hurrying over.

Yang's second daughter-in-law was born in an ordinary person and was very familiar with agricultural affairs.

"The people depend on the sky for food, if the sky is not beautiful and the harvest is not good, except for the imperial grain to be paid every year, there will not be much ration left. There are not a few people who starve to death, and there are also those who gnaw tree bark and eat Guanyin soil to die. ”

"If the year is good, after handing over the food, the family will be able to fill their stomachs. But it is still difficult to save money, many families can't afford the dowry, can't afford the dowry, and there are many children in the family, but they have to let the children's lifelong events have a settlement, so there is a way to change parents. ”

"Fu Jin may not know what a family swap is. It is the daughter of the Wang family who marries the Liu family, and the daughter of the Liu family who marries the Wang family, so that the two families exchange daughters. This is very common for ordinary people. Because it is a change of parents, the two families do not need to give each other a dowry. ”

"There are also those who are desperate to sell their daughters. Some of them were sold to the Qinglou Teaching Workshop and became miserable people. Some little girls are lucky and are sold to big families so that they don't have to worry about eating and drinking. There are also lucky ones, who have won the appreciation of the master's family, have won the silver, and even have a good character. ”
