After several years of development, the scale of the experimental field on the side of Shanglin Yuan has expanded several times again, which are specially approved by Zhao Qingrui.

In addition to expanding the area, Zhao Qingrui also allocated a lot of money.

The people of the farmer did not disappoint her, and a lot of hybrid varieties that have been researched over the years have enriched the variety of grain in Daqin, and the yield has also increased a little.

Zhao Qingrui brought Shang Lian over, and Xu Changming hurriedly came over to guide Zhao Qingrui and took them to see their latest achievements.

Nowadays, the farm is divided into several departments, some specialize in millet and wheat, some study fruit trees, some study fungi, and some study fertilizer.

The number of farmers is increasing, and research in various fields has been greatly developed.

"Your Majesty, the fruit trees here are all grafted with the sweetest fruits, and this is the most successful." Xu Changming asked someone to bring a plate of oranges over, cut it carefully, and put it in front of Zhao Qingrui.

Xu Changming's eyes lit up, as long as he could get His Majesty's liking, His Majesty might be able to allocate more money over, so that it would be more convenient for them to do whatever they wanted.

I picked up a piece and tasted it, and my eyes lit up all of a sudden, and it tasted really good.

"You eat it too, it tastes good." Although it is not as sweet as the fruit of later generations, it is quite good.

The most important thing is that it is very fragrant, and the fruity aroma is very strong, which is much more fragrant than those that were ripened by medicine in later generations.

"Everyone, the people of the farmer's family are so amazing, they can actually cultivate such delicious fruits." Shang Lian gave a thumbs up.

"Lord Shang has praised it falsely, these are all things we should do, and the main thing is His Majesty's strong support for us." Xu Changming said with a smile, it is the blessing of their peasant family to be able to meet His Majesty, and it is also the blessing of the hundred families of the princes.

"Can such fruit trees be promoted?" The corners of Zhao Qingrui's lips rose, and she was in a very good mood.

"Back to Your Majesty, it hasn't been promoted yet, this variety is not stable enough, and it will take another two years to do it." Xu Changming hurriedly said.

"Well, according to your progress, I remember your credit for promoting so many good things in the past few years." Zhao Qingrui didn't point fingers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Xu Changming said respectfully.

"How many experimental fields have farmers set up in various places?" Zhao Qingrui ate oranges and looked at Xu Changming.

In the past few years, the farmers have also expanded rapidly, but they are all farming, and Zhao Qingrui is also optimistic about their situation, so she didn't ask too much.

Seeing Xu Changming now, Zhao Qingrui suddenly thought of the situation of the farmer's family, so he asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, basically every county has an experimental field for studying crops in various places, as well as adapting to local crops." Xu Changming thought for a while and said.

The speed of the expansion of the farmhouse is indeed quite fast, and there are too many people, and he, the leader of the farmhouse, is a little unable to control it.

Your Majesty asked, could it be that someone from the peasant family committed the crime?

Or, is His Majesty dissatisfied with the people of the peasant family?

After thinking about it in a mess, Xu Changming was ready to wait for His Majesty to leave and check the situation inside the farmhouse.

Zhao Qingrui nodded, "What about the grassland and desert areas?" Are there any people who have a farmhouse? ”

If you want to make those places in the grassland completely surrender, you have to let those people have enough food to eat.

The grassland cannot be wreaked havoc, which makes Zhao Qingrui a little tricky, so he can only ask the people of the peasant family to think of more ways.

Then there's the desert area, where it's so hard to grow things.

At present, grain can only be mobilized from the Central Plains to these places.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of food in Daqin at present, and the amount that the imperial court can dispatch is also more.

"Yes, but not much, especially in the desert area, the conditions over there are too bad, there were many disciples of the peasant family who went over, because it was not suitable for the environment over there, several died of illness, and some couldn't hold on, so they came back." Xu Changming sighed.

When he first learned about this, he also took a special leave to go to these places, and he also saw the poor conditions in these places.

Even he found it difficult, let alone those peasant disciples who had lived in the Central Plains since childhood.

"How many people are left in the desert?" Zhao Qingrui nodded, she really didn't know about these situations.

But now that we know it, we need to improve it.

"According to my edict, the income of the peasant disciples in the desert area has been increased by three times, and the peasant disciples who are willing to go to the desert experimental field will be rewarded by the imperial court, and the rewards for the achievements made there will be double that of the Central Plains." Zhao Qingrui decided to increase the reward a little as a way to motivate the disciples of the peasant family.

In the future, she will be able to make so many tricks in the desert area, and she believes that Daqin can do it, and the people from the peasant family can.

"Thank Your Majesty for the peasant disciples who are struggling in the desert area." Xu Changming was stunned for a moment, and then shouted with emotion, Your Majesty really values the farmer the most, and has so many gifts to the farmer.

"That's all I can do, the future granary of Great Qin has to rely on the talents of the farmers." Zhao Qingrui personally went over and helped Xu Changming up.

Farming is indeed extremely important to Daqin, and only when he has enough to eat can he do more things.

"Your Majesty, the farmer is willing to smear the liver and brain of Great Qin." Xu Changming was moved, and when His Majesty said this, he suddenly felt that the farmer was extremely important, and wanted to grow more food for His Majesty.

After Zhao Qingrui and the others left, Xu Changming was still moved, and called everyone in the farmer's family over, brainwashed them, made them understand the importance of the farmer's family, and encouraged them to work harder by the way.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Qingrui sent down the edict on the treatment of farmers in the desert area and let everyone know.

"Your Majesty, it's too difficult to grow plants in those places in the desert, and there are very few that can be planted, is it really necessary to invest so much?" Feng Quji disagreed with Zhao Qingrui's approach.

"Feng Qing should think in a good place, if the people of the peasant family have researched high-yield grain, and can even be planted in the desert area, then my granary in Daqin should not be able to put it down." Zhao Qingrui chuckled, in the eyes of these people, the desert area is probably a burden.

The grassland can at least shepherd sheep and horses, so that there is no shortage of cattle, sheep and horses in Daqin, and they can eat more meat.

And the desert, the conditions of the desert are too harsh, the water source is scarce, and a lot of grain from Daqin can't be grown at all when it arrives there.

The desert is now included in the territory of Daqin, except that the place is big enough, it has no effect, and it has to waste food, and there are many educational resources to raise, which is really worth the loss.

There are many people in the DPRK and China who think like this, and many people do not take the desert to heart.

These Zhao Qingrui all knew that they couldn't change their minds for the time being, so they could only take their time.

If you want to change their minds, you have to rely on the farmers.

"Is this really possible?" Feng Qujian hesitated.

If it weren't for Zhao Qingrui's swearing, there would have been people in the DPRK and China who would have written to give up these areas.

"Of course, anything is possible." Zhao Qingrui said firmly.

In the future, the desert may become an oasis.

"Great Qin's treasury can support these consumptions, and I feel that these are worth it." Zhao Qingrui continued.

"It's the minister who is short-sighted, and the minister will warn those officials below to control their speech." Feng Qujian sighed, but still decided to listen to Zhao Qingrui.

At present, the policy proposed by Zhao Qingrui has not yet had any major problems, and even if there is a problem, it is still a problem within the imperial court.

"It's good that Feng Qing can understand." Zhao Qingrui had a little more smile on her face, Feng Quji was now able to accept a lot of new ideas, which was really good.

As long as the matter is not confidential, these decrees will spread throughout Daqin as quickly as possible.

The result of this is also obvious, the head of the Qian, is more attentive to Daqin, and those who are secretly doing things, sometimes they don't need the court to investigate, and the head of the Qianshou has already poked these people out.

There is a lot of discussion about this matter outside, Zhao Qingrui will go out to listen when she is fine, although her control over other places is not as strong as Xianyang, but the situation in Xianyang, Zhao Qingrui can be said to be clear.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yingyuan asks to see you." When Zhao Qingrui was leisurely drinking the milk tea sent by the cook, the palace maid came to report.

"Yingyuan? Declare him in. Zhao Qingrui paused.

At this time, Yingyuan came over, what was it for? Zhao Qingrui touched her chin.

She actually doesn't like to manage the affairs of the clan very much, those people are too far away for her, and they still block themselves from time to time, so those people in the court are more obedient.

"Meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years." Yingyuan came in and saluted respectfully.

"No need to be polite, why are you here at this time?" Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

Ying Yuan slowly got up and looked at Zhao Qingrui calmly, "Your Majesty, the minister has made arrangements and is ready to go to Lingnan first to make final preparations for going to the domain." ”

"Ready so soon?" Zhao Qingrui raised her eyebrows, during this time, Zhao Qingrui was clear about their movements.

Yingyuan's performance was decent, but in fact, he secretly made a lot of preparations, what he did, Zhao Qingrui knew in his heart, and he was not afraid of what he was going to do.

As long as he didn't actually do anything now, she could tolerate it.

"It's ready, or under the rule of Your Majesty, Daqin is so prosperous, you can buy anything you want, and Your Majesty will be able to make great achievements through the ages." Yingyuan said seriously.

Zhao Qingrui looked at Yingyuan silently, she didn't expect him to compliment her, it was really strange.

"Now that you are ready, let's go to Lingnan to find Wang Li and them, and bring my handwritten letter with you." Zhao Qingrui thought for a while and said, she didn't care about Yingyuan's sycophancy.

"Yes." Seeing that Zhao Qingrui agreed, Yingyuan unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Zhao Qingrui would detain him, or stuff him with a few people to spy on him or something.

If Zhao Qingrui really spoke, if he refused, maybe she would be suspicious of him or something.

Ying Yuan didn't know that at this time, there were already several brocade guards in his team.

"Since it's okay, let's step down." didn't want to see Yingyuan's face, Zhao Qingrui directly ordered the eviction.

"The minister retired." Yingyuan also felt that there was nothing to say.

After Yingyuan left, Zhao Qingrui gave Xiaobai Shunmao for a while, and began to think about the newly sealed princes and kings.

Yingyuan was ready so quickly, and she didn't feel too surprised, but what did he do so early?

According to her plan, before the end of the year, all the princes and kings were ready, and after the spring of the next year, the army marched out to attack the Mauryan Empire.

There is still half a year to go, and he went to Lingnan so early.

Could it be that he still has contact with the people of the Mauryan Dynasty and is ready to do something?

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingrui's eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't ignore it completely.

"Transmission is weak."

——

Xiao He and Cao Shen came to Longxi County, where they had served before, and they had only returned to Xianyang for less than two years.

Now that they're back again, both of them have a bit of mixed feelings.

"Brother Xiao, in the next few days, we will go separately." Cao Shen arched his hand to Xiao He.

"Well, Brother Cao, pay attention to safety." Xiao He nodded.

The two had already discussed on the way here, Xiao He went to do the Qin mission, and Cao Shen secretly visited the local area to see if it was different from the situation of the recital presented by the official, and whether there was a problem with the official.

"I'm provincial." Cao Shen smiled and nodded, he also wanted to see if the situation on this side had changed after he left.

After the two separated, Cao Shen left the inn with two guards.

Today's Longxi County is connected to the grassland, there are many grassland specialties here, and under the governance of him and Xiao He in recent years, the economy here has also developed very well.

He disguised himself as a merchant and entered Longxi County with a batch of beautiful porcelain.

At this time, the situation in Longxi County was not very good, and along the way, Cao Shen's brows were furrowed.

Many of the houses of Qianshou have collapsed, and even the river embankment here has cracked a huge gap, but no officials have been seen to organize repairs.

"Uncle, how to get to Lintao, it's the first time we've come here, and we're not familiar with it." Cao Shen walked towards an old man who was cutting down a tree.

"Walk straight towards this road for half an hour, get on the official road, there are road signs." The old man raised his eyes to look at Cao Shen and pointed to the left side of the road.

"Thank you, sir." Cao Shenle said hehehe, "Uncle, I heard that there was an earthquake here, and I saw that the houses here had collapsed a lot, why didn't I see the officials arrange someone to help?" ”

"How can you help? The officials are busy, what are you asking these for? The old man glanced at Cao Shen speechlessly.

"Just ask, I see the depression here, and I don't know if the goods I pulled over this time are good to sell?" As he spoke, he sighed melancholy.

The old man stretched his neck to look at the things on the carriage, and suddenly said speechlessly, "What is most lacking here now is building materials, and your porcelain will definitely not be affected." ”

"Is it lively over there in Lintao? Are there too many people? Cao Shen deliberately talked, took out a yellowish dough cake from the bag and gave it to the old man, and then sat down on the tree that the old man had cut down.
