The land of Jiliao is a bitter cold land, and this year's harvest is difficult to guarantee, maybe this year's grain harvest will be less than enough.

Although the imperial court will issue silver to the Rui Wangfu every year, everyone knows the situation of the imperial court in recent years, and it is a war and a famine, and the treasury is empty.

Although the emperor loves King Rui, he is now away from Beijing, and the emperor is far away, and it is impossible to say whether the silver behind him can be obtained as scheduled.

In particular, Yu Zixiu, who was the housekeeper of the palace, felt that Wei Ruo's decision was very inappropriate, and hurriedly explained to Wei Ruo, hoping that Wei Ruo would think twice before acting.

Wei Ruo said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't be hungry for you." ”

Wei Ruo was full of confidence.

She is not blindly confident, she already has eight plots of land in her space, and if all of them are planted on time, there will be no problem in ensuring that there is no problem with the food in their palace.

Not to mention that her warehouses are still eighty percent full, even if she doesn't produce in the future, just eating the grain in these warehouses is enough for the palace to eat for three or five years.

Wei Ruo insisted that Yu Zixiu and the others could only comply, not to mention that Wei Ruo was their master, they had to follow, and the grain itself was also obtained by Wei Ruo, so it was up to her what to do.

So on the third day when the Rui Wangfu arrived in the fiefdom, the people of the fiefdom were shocked by the sudden joy and were speechless.

Where is this a prince, this is a living Bodhisattva!

It has been a long time since the prince of Jiliao has been sealed here, and they no longer know what the scene will be like for multiple princes in the fiefdom.

When they heard that there would be a prince, they were still worried.

They are afraid that the arrival of the prince will increase their taxes, which will make their already stretched life even worse.

But who would have thought that such a scene would be?

The food delivered by the Rui Wangfu is directly delivered to every household.

When the news first broke, others didn't believe it.

It wasn't until it was their turn to look at the hemp bags of wheat that everyone really believed that Rui Wangfu had really sent them food!

It was a grain they hadn't seen in years!

It felt like a dream!

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo issued an announcement that the palace promoted the planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the seeds could be received for free, and only one-third of the harvest could be returned after harvesting.

If the harvest is less than three times the number of seeds, it does not need to be turned in.

Most of the local people have never read a book, and everyone hears this rule in a fog, and they don't understand whether it is cost-effective or not.

But because Wei Ruo came to distribute food to everyone, a big bag of refined grain was more cost-effective than the seeds in the back.

In addition, Rui Wangfu advertised that the thing called potatoes grows fast and has a high output value, and after planting, the whole family can eat enough.

Everyone has enthusiastically joined the army of potato planting.

They didn't have a better choice anyway.

They can't grow anything here, the climate has been bad in the past two years, not to mention white rice and white noodles, and even the edible weeds have been eaten.

Therefore, no matter how much they receive a new seed and try to plant, they will not lose.

As the so-called barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, they are poor to a certain extent, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

After the planting began, Wei Ruo went out early and returned late almost every day, running around the fields.

The land of Jiliao has an advantage: it is vast and sparsely populated, and the terrain is flat, and almost every family has a lot of land.

In the past, everyone did not have enough to eat because the climate was cold, and it was difficult to grow crops in the frozen soil, and even if they survived, the yield was low.

In fact, the land is not barren, but the climatic conditions are not suitable for the cultivation of previous crops.

In this way, as long as there are crops suitable for planting, the subsequent planting work will not be troublesome, and it will even save time and effort than when Wei Ruo was in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

It's just that Wei Ruo has to walk dozens of times the distance she used to walk in the countryside of Huzhou Mansion every day.

At the beginning, Wei Jin would accompany Wei Jin as Wang Jin when he went out, but he gradually became familiar with it, and Wei Jin did not accompany him every time.

When he didn't accompany Wei Ruo, Wei Jin would also stay in the mansion to deal with the affairs of the capital.

He has been in contact with the capital and always pays attention to the movements of the court situation in the capital.

Although he has no intention of arguing, he also has to ensure the safety of himself and Wei Ruo, and cannot let himself lose the power of defense, so he needs to ensure that the situation in the court is within his control, and he must also accurately know the movements of those in the court who may pose a threat to them.

###

On March 15, Uncle Xu and Mother Xu rushed to the palace to reunite with Wei Ruo.

Xu Zhengyong's military camp was on the border further north, and his mansion was in the border town, where the second elder of the Xu family should have been, but now that Wei Ruo was here, they rushed over to reunite with her.

The only regret is that Xu Zhengyong has already entered the barracks and can no longer move around freely, so he did not come with him this time.

Seeing Wei Ruo like this now, Mother Xu was so happy that she burst into tears.

"Miss, I'm so happy! It's great to be like this now! ”

"Godmother, why can't you change your habits, you can't call me Miss anymore." Wei Ruo corrected.

Mother Xu said embarrassedly: "I'm used to it, and I can't change it for a while." ”

"You try to call me out." Wei Ruodao.

"This ......" Xu's mother opened her mouth and couldn't shout it for a long time.

"It's good for you to call me Ruo'er like the second brother." Wei Ruo said.

"What if...... Ruo'er ......" Mother Xu opened her mouth and jerkily called out Wei Ruo's name.

"Hey!"

Wei Ruo replied heavily, and then hugged Xu's mother with joy.

After Mother Xu's body stiffened for a while, she reached out and hugged Wei Ruo in her arms.

This delicate little girl has not only grown up, but has finally shaken off those shackles and started to live her own life.

After a short period of reminiscence, Wei Ruo pulled Xu's mother and talked about the next arrangements.

Wei Ruo has no plans to open a shop and do business here in Jiliao at the moment, all her plans are how to increase production, if the grain production is increased to feed the people in this land.

The cultivation of potatoes is not very skillful, and now the main task is overall planning.

As long as you can ensure that you can get through these 60 days safely and usher in the first harvest, the follow-up will be easier.

After talking about business, Xu's mother mentioned something to Wei Ruo.

"Miss......" As soon as Mother Xu opened her mouth to shout, she was glared at by Wei Ruo, so she changed her words, "Ruo'er, that's the case, there is a matter, I want to discuss it with you." ”

"Mother, you say." Wei Ruodao.

"Xiao Yong, he is not young anymore, and it is time to start a family. It's just that he is now in the military camp, and he has become a girl who is afraid of delaying others, but if he doesn't marry again, I'm sorry for the ancestors of the old Xu family! ”
