"Wow!"

It doesn't take any manpower to spin around and around tirelessly!

The ditch that had been dug in advance quickly collected water, which flowed down the ditch and circled the fields.

"When the paddy fields need to be released, a gap in the ditch can be opened to release water into the field." Xu Yin said to Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang, like everyone else, hadn't come back to his senses yet, and his eyes were straight at the work of the waterwheel.

Xu Yin smiled dumbly.

Turning his head to look at the empty rice field after the harvest, the release of water has liberated manpower, and the next season of rice can try rice fish and rice crab.

She had asked Yan Kejin about some prohibitions in her fiefdom before, except that the landlord was not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, but she did not say that she could not buy land to build a Zhuangzi.

She planned to buy all the ownerless wasteland and develop it according to local conditions.

If it can be cultivated into fertile land, rice and wheat can be planted, and the rice fields can also raise fish and crabs.

One day, let Nanban also become the land of fish and rice that everyone yearns for.

Don't panic if you can't open up fertile land, then there are still high-yield grain varieties such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.

In inferior places such as Sha Tin, watermelons are planted.

If you can't grow even these, you will keep building workshops and opening factories.

When there are more residents in Nanban, we will definitely build houses, and when the cement production increases, we will build high-rise buildings.

The blueprint is beautiful, but there is still work to be done.

At present, only Wangfu Zhuangzi has a waterwheel, and it will take time to promote it.

However, high-yielding seeds can be distributed first.

"Uncle Wang, the yield of Bi Stem rice is too low, you can bring some back to taste it, and the rice seeds don't have to be kept."

With such a low yield, there is no need to promote it in the era when there is not enough to eat.

Take it back to the prince to taste, if he likes it, he can plant one or two acres every season and keep it for himself.

For the other five kinds of rice, she asked for fifty catties each, and let Uncle Wang put away the rest.

"These three kinds of pearl rice, rouge rice, and Panjin rice with high yield, Uncle Wang, you can harvest them and keep them for the next season's rice seeds. If you can't plant enough in the Zhuangzi, you can also exchange it with the surrounding villages. More and more people are planting these high-yield rice, and we, the people of Nanban, will have a full day sooner or later, right? ”

"The princess is very right!" Uncle Wang was so excited that he burst into tears.

I can't imagine the day when I hope to see every family eat enough.

Xu Yin saw that he was going to take a group of tenant farmers to kneel and kowtow, and hurriedly supported him.

"You don't have to. I just happened to buy these high-yielding seeds. By the way, Uncle Wang, the yield of long-grain incense and glutinous rice is still not high enough, so there is no need to work hard to promote it for the time being. If the people in the surrounding villages are willing to change, they will change some for them, and if they are not willing, they will keep us to grow them ourselves. ”

However, she believes that there will still be many people who are willing to plant.

Especially glutinous rice, many dim sum, including zongzi, need glutinous rice to make.

Other rice varieties are not worried, as long as the yield per mu of this batch of rice seeds is publicized, it is definitely a coaxing treatment.

When the nearby villages are planted with high-yield seeds, Xu Yin will organize people to buy them, and the purchase price is higher than the market price, and many people will be willing to sell them.

The harvested rice seeds are then exchanged in other counties and counties...... And so on and so forth, until all the territory of the Nanban was planted with high-yielding seeds.

It seems that she will lose a lot of silver by doing this, but from another point of view, when the people are full, they will have the spirit to work in the workshop, and when the workshop is fully staffed, she can make more money.

When you think about it, the little bit of silver lost is nothing.

……

This time, the melons and fruits are basically ripe.

Xu Yin personally went to the field to pick two baskets, one basket was pulled back to the palace to eat by herself, and the other basket was pulled to the mine by the guards to send warmth to King Jinnan, who was sitting in the mine under the heat, and if he couldn't finish eating, he could also share it with the workers in the mine as a high-temperature welfare.

"Lord, the princess sent someone to send a basket of melons and fruits, saying that they were picked from the Zhuangzi. Let you pick a few good ones first, and the rest will be for your subordinates and absenteeism as welfare, you see...... "Yan Qi came in and returned.

When he saw the basket of melons and fruits, his saliva flooded.

I have long heard that the princess has a hand in planting melons and fruits, and last time she cheekily rubbed a small piece of watermelon from the prince, which was so delicious that he wanted to look up to the sky and howl.

And the watermelon at that time is said to be not yet hot. How delicious will the watermelon be when it's ready for fire?

Yan Kejin glanced at him: "Are you hungry in the house?" ”

"Subordinates overstep!" Yan Qi knelt down on one knee to receive the punishment.

Yan Kejin waved his hand: "Do what the princess wants, and cut a watermelon for this king." ”

"Yes!" Yan Qiyi heard that not only was he not punished, but he also had watermelons to eat, and he happily took the order and left.

I can't help but admire the princess in my heart like a river gushing endlessly-even the prince is so obedient to the princess, the princess is amazing!

The melons and fruits sent to Yan Kejin are naturally the best and the best.

But Yan Qi's subordinates were not bad, at most they were smaller, and everyone ate quite satisfied.

"This melon is even better than what I have eaten in Beijing!"

"It's hot, it's no longer comfortable to eat a melon!"

"It's great to have a princess! If the prince has anything good to eat, we can also pick up some leaks. ”

"It's not easy to pick up. With the princess's instructions, the princess let us share it, if the princess didn't mention it, you see if our brothers can eat it. ”

"In the future, let's show our faces in front of the princess, especially you, the seventh child, be diligent and hurry up when you return home, and have the opportunity to run more errands for the princess."

"You still need to say it!"

In addition to the guards, the exiles working in the mines were also given a slice of melon. Some are watermelons, some are melons.

It was Shanwa Niang who gave them a share, and she didn't forget to promote the goodness of Jinnan Wangfu: "Don't patronize and eat, work hard when you are full!" The palace is so good to us, don't be a person who eats inside and outside! ”

These were all prisoners who had been exiled to Baigui County. Previously, he was arranged by the county guard of Baigui County to cut wood on the periphery of the strange mountain filled with miasma, which was a job that the locals would rather be poor than do.

Not long ago, King Jinnan wanted to open a mine. In exchange, he exempted Baigui County from taxes for the next three years. This is equivalent to exempting the people of Baigui County from half of the tax.

Although the county guard of Baigui County didn't know what King Jinnan wanted these exiles to do, he thought that he could reduce the tax by half, that is, he was dragged by King Jinnan to train private soldiers, and he chose to turn a blind eye.

And these exiles, at first, thought that the prince was going to torture them, and they were terrified.

When I got to the ground, it turned out to be a mine, and I was tired, and it was not much easier than logging, but at least I didn't have to worry about miasma entering the body.

After a while, they all gradually got used to it.

I didn't expect to get a piece of watermelon today.

It is said that it was planted by the mother of the lord of the palace.

"Grandpa, this melon is so sweet! Sweeter than what I had at home when I was a kid! ”

"Dad, you taste it, it's really sweet! At that time, watermelons in Beijing were sold at sky-high prices. ”

"Good, good! The prince is very good, treats us prisoners equally, in addition to the hard work, but than before, he eats enough and sleeps softly, and now he is fortunate to taste the honeydew melon that the nobles in Beijing can taste, and our hard days are over! ”
