With the disaster relief strategy provided by Ye Xia, Emperor Yongkang's will was issued one by one, and with the active cooperation of officials from the DPRK and China, the disaster situation in the affected counties in the capital quickly stabilized, and the victims gathered outside the city were approaching the end of the year.

They have all returned home one after another. Yes, it is to return home, because the fundraising is effective, the officials are serious and responsible, the soldiers are hard-working, and the collapsed houses in the affected counties are actively rebuilding, even if there are houses that have not been built.

When the victims returned to their hometowns, some yamen were properly placed in tents set up one after another, and according to the rice and silver money distributed by the imperial court, as well as warm clothes and charcoal fires according to the head of each household.

In short, the relief materials are sufficient, the panic and anxiety of the victims have been stabilized, and those who have good labor have joined the soldiers who have rebuilt their houses to repair and build houses together.

Knowing that the disaster had been alleviated, Ye Xia breathed a sigh of relief and continued to be busy with her own affairs as usual, well, when she met the Great Morning Meeting, needless to say, she would let go of her own affairs,

Go to court according to the regulations. Time flowed like flowing water day by day, month by month, and in April and May, Ye Xia planted sweet potatoes and cotton in a large area on each village.

The imperial court also planted these two crops in a large area in each imperial village, and Ye Xia was busy planting them, in order to find a reasonable source for the various crop seeds that he would take out from the space later.

She did not run less to Tianjin Wharf, did not less contact with foreign merchants who crossed the ocean to Daxia, and ran around the southern coastal cities, such as Guangzhou, Fujian and other places, with the same purpose as Tianjin Wharf.

But the main thing is to expand the industry. After more than three months away, Ye Xia returned to Beijing with a lot of crop seeds, planting corn, potatoes, and peppers according to the planting characteristics of various crops......

When the harvest was to be harvested, Ye Xia played a fold, and there is no doubt that Emperor Yongkang was excited again, and he took many officials from the court out of the city to Ye Xia's Zhuangzi to see corn, potatoes, and cotton...... harvest,

As for the yield of sweet potatoes, Emperor Yongkang had already known it from the minions who were in charge of taking care of the Huangzhuang, and it was not much different from the weighing data he saw with his own eyes on Ye Xia's Zhuangzi last year.

The villagers were busy in the fields, Ye Xia led Emperor Yongkang and a group of officials to the courtyard where she rested in the Zhuangzi, and with the help of the girls such as clouds and rain, she personally took charge of the spoon.

Fresh corn kernels and freshly shaved potatoes, as well as some vegetables grown in the Zhuangzi that were not available in the summer, were used to make a large table full of dishes, and a lot of fresh corn on the cob and steamed potatoes were cooked.

Looking at the table full of vegetables that he had never seen before and the dishes made of corn and potatoes with a yield of seven or eight stones per mu that Ye Xia said, Emperor Yongkang was amazed, and King Jing Xia Mohan and the ministers were also full of surprise. didn't use the eunuch to try it, after Ye Xia picked up the chopsticks and tried each dish, Emperor Yongkang simply started to eat it.

"Not bad! Ye Qingjia, you are worthy of being my lucky star in Great Xia, and you are my good minister! ”

The two large tables of dishes were swept clean by Emperor Yongkang and the officials, many of whom held their stomachs and burped uncomfortably, Emperor Yongkang got up with a smile on his face and praised Ye Xia while eating in the courtyard, and at the same time did not forget to reprimand the ministers:

"Tell me, you are also an official in the court, why didn't you think of buying such and such seeds from foreigners for trial planting? Never thought that foreigners had high-yield crops in their hands that we didn't have in Daxia?

Today, I will tell you, if you let me see the corpses of any of you who are fighting for power and profit, just wait for me to get out of the court and go back to my hometown to retire! ”

When the officials present heard this, they lowered their heads, and their cheeks were hot.

Compared with Renguo Gong, compared with a woman who has only been in the court for one year, among them has been an official for twenty or thirty years, seventeen or eighteen years, and there are many people who have been in the first year of their lives, but it is difficult for them to find one of them who has made such achievements as Renguo Gong.

For Yongkangdi's appreciation, Ye Xia was as calm as ever, after the farmers finished harvesting an acre of corn and an acre of potatoes, picking an acre of cotton and an acre of pepper and other crops, she led Yongkangdi and others out of the courtyard to watch the weighing.

There is no suspense, and there is no big difference between the yield per mu and that reported to Emperor Yongkang by Ye Xia. It should be said that the yield per mu of corn needs to be threshed and weighed, so this time the weighing did not weigh the corn cob of one acre.

However, under the guidance of Ye Xia, the corn cobs of the broken acre were peeled by the farmers, and when Emperor Yongkang and the officials left Zhuangzi, all the truckloads were transported to the palace to dry, and then threshed and weighed.

Returning to the palace with a full load, Emperor Yongkang was extremely happy, however, the officials did not see that the emperor rewarded Ye Xia, the Duke of Renguo, as before, and they all felt very strange in their hearts, and they made eye contact with each other before riding in the carriage.

And Ye Xia didn't care at all about what she revealed, as if what she did was really just a trivial matter, which made those officials have to think deeply.

Yes, they know that the only female grandfather in the court seems to don't care about fame and fortune, but compared to the previous discovery that the sweet potato was awarded the title of earl by the emperor, and then found that it was inoculated

Cowpox can prevent smallpox and was crowned a duke by the emperor,

And reward a lot, this time, the crop seeds bought from the foreigners, not to mention the side, just the yield of corn and potatoes per mu, compared with sweet potatoes is a little less, but compared with the existing grain crops per mu of the Great Xia Dynasty,

There are a lot of high, but in addition to being verbally praised by the emperor, he didn't get any benefits, and he didn't show the slightest difference, should he say that his heart is big or big, or should he say that he is so noble that he really doesn't care about any fame and fortune and vulgar things?

"The emperor is like this?"

On the carriage, Xia Mohan looked at Emperor Yongkang, and his light voice sounded abruptly.

Emperor Yongkang was closing his eyes to recuperate, hearing the words, he slowly opened his eyes, the light in his eyes was full of interest, and was looked at by Emperor Yongkang like this, Xia Mohan uncomfortably clenched his fists and covered his lips and coughed lightly, staggering his gaze, and at this moment, he heard Emperor Yongkang say:

"You're holding grievances for the Duke of Renguo."

It's a statement, not a question.

What he thought in his heart was said, Xia Mohan didn't make a sound, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Emperor Yongkang smiled: "That's it, you still say that you have no intention of Renguo Gong, brother Huang, when did you learn to deceive yourself?" ”

"Did I deny it?"

Xia Mohan's handsome face could not see any special emotions, he met Emperor Yongkang's playful gaze, his eyes were deep and calm, such a he, for a while, Emperor Yongkang couldn't help but feel that he was being generalized.

It's true that the stinky boy didn't explicitly deny it, but he didn't admit it either, did he?!

Thinking like this, Yongkang Di Harao smiled, broke the deadlock between the two, and said: "Renguo Gong is a good courtier of me, a good official who does practical things for the people, how can the imperial brother treat such a good family badly?" But to specifically how to reward the Duke of Renguo, the imperial brother needs to think about it. ”
