Chapter 476: Planting Double Cropping Rice

After Sun Yuanqing finished entrusting the eldest princess, he left the house, and the heat on Chu Huaiyu's cheeks had not yet dissipated.

In the early days, the emperor sat on the dragon chair in a bright yellow dragon robe, showing his royal bearing.

Standing at the bottom are the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the most dazzling of which is Chu Huaijin who is standing at the front, wearing a python robe.

His words and deeds were enough to affect the emperor's decision-making, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in awe of him and did not dare to offend half a sentence.

"Brother has a book." Chu Huaijin took a step forward, and a cold voice sounded in the hall.

All the officials held their breath in fear. They all thought back to whether these two people had offended the three princes and the three princesses.

I don't know who was so unlucky to be convicted by the three princes, and was lightly reprimanded and demoted to a remote place to endure hardships. Heavy responsibility for the exile of the family.

Either way, it's a pain they can't bear.

"Quasi-play." The emperor looked at his royal brother with shiny eyes.

He knew that the emperor's brother would not start the performance if he didn't have any important things, and once this was started, there would be officials in the court and the middle of the court who would suffer.

He, the imperial brother, is also willing to use the hands of the imperial brother to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

It's not the royal brother or the third princess who thinks of some good policies for governing the country and the people.

Either point was a great thing for him, the emperor.

The ministers could feel the emperor's faint excitement.

The needles could be heard falling above the main hall, and everyone's eyes fell on Chu Huaijin.

He is completely unaffected by these gazes, and says whatever he needs to say.

"The princess of the younger brother is doing business in the capital, and she has a wide range of contacts. I got acquainted with overseas merchants and purchased a large number of double-cropping rice seeds from them.

Now after careful cultivation by the princess, the rice seedlings are growing very well.

The so-called double cropping rice harvests two crops in the same rice field a year, early rice and late rice. Once the double cropping rice is successfully planted, it can be extended to rice households across the country. When the time comes, it is conceivable that the grain of the Great Chu State will double. ”

As soon as Chu Huaijin's words came out, everyone from the emperor to the civil and military officials was shocked.

Everyone knows that if the three princesses' double-cropping rice is successfully cultivated, this woman has made a great contribution.

How can these old ministers who have been mediocre over the years be embarrassed?

A woman is more capable than an official in the court, and it is not good to make people jealous.

However, because the third prince is now turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain in the court, they don't dare to show too much.

"I want to see the double-cropping rice seedlings carefully cultivated by the third princess." The emperor's excited voice was faintly trembling.

You must know that since he succeeded to the throne, he has always focused on improving people's livelihood. In order to improve the situation of insufficient food supply in the Great Chu State. Vigorously promote the people to farm. A number of preferential policies for farming have been issued.

Even so, the granary of the treasury is still insufficient, and if there is a long-term war, the army of the Great Chu State will inevitably face the problem of lack of food.

The third princess proposed the double-cropping rice planting method, which can double the grain, how could he not be happy and excited?

Chu Huaijin naturally brought the seedlings cultivated by the princess over. It's in the hands of his henchmen.

The emperor sent an order for Gao Shan to enter the hall, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at a pot of seedlings held by Gao Shan. The seedlings are growing well, but you can't see any difference. It's just ordinary rice seedlings.

The emperor attached great importance to this, and personally walked down from the dragon chair to Gao Shan, and touched the seedlings.

"This is not an ordinary rice seedling, it is a double-cropping rice seedling that can double the grain production of the Great Chu State. The seedlings must not be damaged in the slightest. It was passed on to me that the newly appointed household servants and Dasi Nong all had to listen to the dispatch of the three princesses. Fully cooperate with the three princesses to cultivate a new variety of double cropping rice. ”

The two of them, the Tobe Squire and the Great Si Nong, all stood up, and the two of them respectfully accepted the order. "Weichen will live up to the emperor's trust, cooperate with the three princesses wholeheartedly, and listen to their dispatch."

The newly appointed Tobe Shilang, not long after entering Beijing, took the official position of the Tobe Shilang because of his political achievements in other places. I don't know much about the deeds of the third princess.

Lord Lin, the household servant, is only thirty, and he is already a second-grade waiter in the official position, and he is inevitably a little arrogant.

He was actually quite unconvinced in his heart, and let her dispatch him as a second-class waiter.

Dasi Nong admired the third princess, and he has been studying the problem of grain planting for eight years, how to improve grain varieties and increase grain production. But not much accomplished.

The three princesses have only been in the capital for a year, and they have cultivated rice seedlings of double cropping rice. In contrast, he, the big Si Nong, was a little ashamed.

"The emperor's ministers also heard of double cropping rice for the first time, and they were really curious about this rice seedling. may ask Weichen to bring this pot of rice seedlings back to study carefully. Weichen is ashamed to have been in the position of Dasi Nong for so many years. Nor has it been able to improve the grain varieties and increase the grain production. ”

"Although Dasi Nong failed to increase grain production, he also worked diligently. However, the study of cotton planting is quite clear, and the climate in the north and south is different, and the methods of planting cotton are also different. I also see these practical things that Da Si Nong has done. It's better than those officials who don't hold their jobs. The emperor opened his mouth and commented truthfully.

Da Si Nong was recognized by the emperor, his eyes were moved with tears, and he quietly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. Holding the rice seedlings of double-cropping rice that the emperor rewarded him with in his hand, his back was straight.

There were several old ministers in the court, but when the emperor said this, they blushed and lowered their heads. There is an into.

In addition to dispatching the two officials of the court and the central government to the three princesses, the emperor also dispatched the five hundred royal forest troops to the three princesses.

It is enough to see that the emperor attaches great importance to the cultivation of double-cropping rice by the three princesses.

After the court, the emperor walked a little erratically, and he was so excited. For more than a year, the third princess has given him too many surprises. I have to say that the emperor's younger brother has a good vision, and he married a treasure to the royal family to come back, benefiting the Great Chu State and the people.

He immediately went to the queen's palace, told the queen the good news, and asked someone to call the prince over.

Chu Huaijin took the household servant, as well as the big Sinong, and five hundred royal forest soldiers back to the palace.

Kapok was also a little surprised to see that the third master had brought so many people back.

"Xiaguan has seen the three princesses, Xiaguan is the chief farmer in the court, and he was ordered to cooperate with the three princesses to plant double-cropping rice, and the three princesses have any work, just instruct the lower officials to do it." Da Si Nong took the lead in respectfully introducing himself to the third princess, and worked hard to brush up on his sense of existence.

The head of the household despised Dasi Nong in his heart, and he was so groveling to a woman, it was really a shame for these big officials in the court.

The noble status of the third princess is not married to the third prince, and she does not have any great skills. When he first entered Beijing, it was the first time he saw the third princess, and he was younger than he imagined. The face is absolutely beautiful, not inferior to those concubines in the palace.

The Tobe squire concluded that the third princess charmed the third prince with this beautiful appearance. I look down on it.

"Xia Guan is the newly appointed household servant, and the third princess can call Xia Guan Lin." Under the cold eyes of the third prince, the head of the household still said a word.
