Kapok has never been stingy with the meals of the people in Zhuangzi, and usually has meat for lunch. Harvesting rice is originally a strenuous job, and eating meat can replenish physical strength.

Today, the emperor has taken all the civil and military officials to work in the field, so this food must be even better.

Ten dishes and one soup for lunch, the staple food is jujube steamed buns, scallion pancakes, dumplings, rice, eight-treasure porridge and so on. It can be said that it is very rich.

The emperor pulled the three princes to sit at a table, and there were Mu Li, Lord Lin and Dasi Nong at the same table, and the rest of the officials did not dare to eat at the same table with the emperor and the three princes.

Kapok accompanied the Queen Mother, the Queen, and her mother, and the two sisters-in-law sat at the same table.

Officials who are familiar with each other set up their own tables, and they don't need to be served. Serve whatever staple food you want to eat. It has the meaning of doing it yourself.

This also makes them cherish the food on the table even more, even the ministers who are used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, when they see such a table of food. It is inevitable that Fang Xin will be captured.

The food on the table looks very good, hot and steaming, with meat and vegetables, and you have an appetite when you look at it. This whets their appetite.

The officials, who usually don't eat anything in the house, feel hungry after a morning of work. I devoured all the food, and it didn't smell good. I dried a big bowl of rice in one go.

Everyone ate to their heart's content, and after the meal, it was the hottest time in the afternoon.

All the people in the village who went to the ground took a nap for half an hour.

Considering that the queen was pregnant, the emperor felt sorry for her tiredness, so he took the queen back to the palace.

The Empress Dowager and the crown prince were still reluctant to go back, so they stayed in Zhuangzi for a while longer.

After noon, the people in the Zhuangzi consciously got up and went to work in the fields.

Even most of the officials got up and went to work in the fields, and only a few were still asleep.

Kapok is unexpectedly that so many officials will be able to go to the ground on time, after all, they usually wear clothes in the mansion and ask someone to serve them.

After a full day of harvesting rice, the officials returned home one by one with a sore back, but their hearts were full and satisfied as they had never been.

The next day, the emperor commended the top three officials who performed best in the fields in the early court.

The ministers were envious, and some ministers also worked very hard, but they were not convinced and did not squeeze into the top three.

"The minister thought that harvesting rice in the field was very good for exercising people, and Weichen gained a lot from it, and realized the difficulty of farmers. The minister implored the emperor to hold more such events in the future. The early rice harvest is almost over, and the late rice harvest is at the end of the harvest. The ministers went to work in the fields all day. Dali Siqing stepped forward and proposed.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

…………

Many ministers in the palace seconded the proposal, but this time they did not come out to oppose it.

The emperor was also happy to see such a situation, and with a wave of his hand, he promised, "It's rare that all Aiqing has the idea of working in the field." I'm on track. ”

The early rice harvest is over after seven days, followed by drying the grain.

The Zhuangzi was big enough to make a large open space on the Zhuangzi to dry the rice.

Lord Hayashi, the head of the household department, came over with two other officials from the palace and was responsible for weighing the harvested rice.

The three officials were all stunned by this weighing. I didn't expect the early rice planted by the three princesses to be so high-yielding.

The three of them were so excited that they didn't even bother to say hello, so they hurriedly returned to the palace. Hurry up and tell the emperor the good news. The emperor is still waiting in the palace.

The emperor sat high on the dragon chair in the court, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty was below.

The emperor didn't speak, and they didn't dare to squeak, they all knew that the emperor was waiting for the yield of rice.

As soon as the Tobe squire and the two officials appeared, they appeared on the top of the main hall. The emperor's eyes lit up.

"What is the yield of Lord Lin's grain?" The emperor asked eagerly.

"If you go back to the emperor, it will be a bumper harvest. More than twice as much rice as before. 800 stone per acre of land. Lord Lin said excitedly.

"Eight hundred stones? There is too much of this food. You must know that even if it is a good harvest year, it is only nearly 400 stones per mu. The third princess planted double cropping rice, if there were two crops of rice a year, and no stubble could yield 800 stones per mu, then the Great Chu State would not worry about the problem of grain. The emperor got up from the dragon chair excitedly.

As soon as these words came out, not only the emperor was excited, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were excited. congratulated the emperor one after another.

"Congratulations to the emperor, a bumper harvest of early rice. With the high-yield double-cropping rice planted by the three princesses, the Great Chu State will not worry about the shortage of food in the future. ”

………

Congratulations rose one after another in the main hall.

The Great Chu country is vast and has many people, but the grain output is not high, and the northern and southern regions are always in turn to make disasters and famines. This has led to food shortages.

Most of the people do not have enough to eat, and the rice farmers are even more reluctant to eat the polished rice they grow.

Rice is expensive, so I keep it for money to buy more coarse grains to eat.

The emperor was excited, calmed down,

"The planting of double-cropping rice this time has doubled the grain output, and the three princesses have contributed a lot. I want to be rewarded, and someone will announce that the third princess will enter the palace. ”

Kapok was personally led into the main hall by Gonggong Xu, and she was dressed in a purple princess dress. The extravagance was natural, and it immediately attracted the attention of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

All the ministers now have great respect for the three princesses, and the three princesses, a woman, can repeatedly make outstanding contributions to the court.

Before the invention of honeycomb coal by the three princesses went down in history, this time planting double cropping rice harvest, to solve the problem of food shortage in the Great Chu State. Once again, it will go down in history. Later, it was praised by posterity.

It can be said that she is the first strange woman in the Great Chu Kingdom.

"The courtiers have seen the emperor." Kapok was just about to kneel down and salute when he was stopped by the emperor.

"The three princesses don't need to kneel. The third princess is the hero of the Great Chu State, and she will not kneel when she sees me in the future. The double cropping rice and early rice planted by the three princesses were bumper, and the three princesses contributed a lot. Whatever reward the three princesses want, as long as I can do it, I can promise you. ”

The ministers were also envious when they heard this, and probably the entire court could have this holy favor for the three princesses.

However, they are no longer jealous, and they all know that the third princess is worth it.

"The courtiers are princesses, and they have already enjoyed blessings that others do not have. What's more, the emperor has already rewarded his courtiers with two gold medals for avoiding death. How can a courtier ask for another reward?

The cultivation of double-cropping rice is not the credit of the courtiers alone, and the two adults of Tobe Shilang and Dasi Nong have always contributed. Especially Dasi Nong, for more than two months, he has brought his subordinates to the Grange every day to guide farming. Dasi Nong also put a lot of effort into double cropping rice. Kapok spoke solemnly.

She is also telling the truth, and she will be seen if she has paid. and deserves to be rewarded.

The Hubu Shilang and Dasi Nong were a little surprised, they didn't expect that the third princess would refuse the emperor's reward in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces. Unexpectedly, the three princesses praised them in front of the emperor.
