Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the edict issued by the queen is to prevent officials from embezzlement, you said that you spent 50,000 taels on building roads, so how much silver money was used for labor, how much silver money was spent on materials, these must be clearly remembered, and it will be very difficult to make money from it.

Yi Zhi, the ministers who originally thought that this was a fat job were all deterred, but Leng Touqing, who had just entered the officialdom, had no such concerns, and the errand of road construction was quickly claimed by the new science and technology jinshi.

The people praised this yellow list and a decree, after all, they hadn't seen what cases handled by the imperial court would be publicized to the people, and every time an official committed a crime and raided his house, he only said that it would be returned to the treasury, who knows what the silver did?

But now, they know, the queen mother said that the silver is used to build roads for the people, and some of it should be used as military salary, as military salary, their family has a son in the northwest as a soldier, poor to see, the military salary has never been paid in full, and sometimes in the winter even a cotton coat can not be mixed, the queen mother has done a great thing!

Someone is responsible for the construction of the road, and Ning Yue has chosen a clan member to be the supervisor, who is specifically responsible for the position of overseer, and the prime minister once asked: "Queen Mother, aren't you afraid that the overseer will seek personal benefits for yourself?"

"That's just right, the household can send one less money again. The decree of this palace is not in vain."

Prime Minister Wen: ...... Very good and powerful! It's that he is too worried, and he wants to this leisure for the queen's mother!

……

A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the road repair has not been effective, but Jiang Jing proposed a major matter related to people's livelihood in the court, "Queen Qiqi, the corn seeds you asked Weichen to plant were harvested half an acre of land yesterday and 442 catties of grain."

The whole court is in an uproar!

Half an acre of land will harvest 442 catties, and the harvest of that acre of land will not cost 884 catties, even if this grain is newly harvested, and then some water will be removed after drying, the yield per mu will reach 800 catties, right?

If this new crop can be planted throughout the country, will the people of the Great Xia Dynasty still have to worry about not being able to eat?

Ning Yue was very happy, she didn't know whether the corn seeds in her space were originally self-bred or hybrid, but after each harvest, she used those seeds to replant, and the corn that grew was more and more full, and the yield also increased.

Although the yield per mu is only more than 800 catties, it cannot be compared with the modern hybrid varieties that produce more than 2,000 catties per mu at every turn, but in ancient times, the grain yield of more than 800 catties per mu is enough to shock the world.

Prime Minister Wen: "Is what Guogong said true? What do you mean by the Queen's will?"

"Is this still fake? Zhuangzi is preparing to harvest corn today, and if he doesn't believe it, he can go with his father and weigh it on the spot.

The queen had already instructed the family to look for high-yield crops, so as to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, and when the child went out, he happened to meet a caravan with a crop called corn, because it was a new crop, the child bought all the seeds, but he did not expect that the yield of this grain seed would be so high."

This is half-true, before the spring planting, the girl suddenly asked people to send a letter and a key to the family, the house mentioned in the letter is still the family to the daughter's dowry, he took someone to go in person, and then found nearly 10,000 catties of grain in the warehouse.

The letter said the method of planting corn, so Jiang Jing said that it was planted by the queen's mother, which is not a lie.

Of course, he also hopes that there will be more high-yield crops in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the people will have surplus grain when they are full, so that they don't have to worry about grain and grass when they are fighting at the border.

Prime Minister Wen couldn't help but look at the high position, obviously she was just a woman's body, she was not majestic or domineering, she sat on the dragon chair so upright, and always had a light smile on her face, graceful and dignified atmosphere is the most suitable description for her, however, what she does and thinks surpasses many men.

However, the exact yield of corn has not yet been verified, so he swallowed many words directly.

Looking at Zhen Guogong again, "I wonder how many of these new crops have been planted in Zhenguo Gong's Zhuangzi this year?"

Jiang Jing: "More than 4,000 acres in total."

Prime Minister Wen quickly calculated in his mind, if there was really such a high yield as Zhen Guogong said, then the harvest of these 4,000 mu alone would be enough to plant a quarter of the arable land in the capital.

Wen Cheng said on the spot that after the next dynasty, he would go to the Jiang family's Zhuangzi to see the corn harvest.

Other officials also chimed in, saying that they would also follow, so today's morning dynasty ended early, and then a large number of officials rode horses or made carts and all followed Jiang Jing out of the city.

The people in the city felt strange, so many people followed the convoy out of the city to see the excitement, and then, nearly 1,000 people from Hulala rushed to Jiangjia Zhuangzi to see the tenants of the people breaking corn there.

Jiang Jing simply measured out an acre of land, sent more than 20 people into the field to break the sticks, and after the harvest of an acre of land, he rubbed out the corn kernels, and then weighed the seeds together, and the number obtained not only did not become less but more than 20 catties, and the onlookers suddenly boiled!

With a yield of 900 catties of grain per mu, a family can plant a few acres of this so-called corn, and they will not have to worry about food in a year!

The people were immediately ready to move, Jiang Jing simply waved his hand, hired these people into the field to break corn, and the subordinates of the Jiang family who couldn't do it would teach them how to work.

The Jiang family's 4,000 acres of corn were harvested for seven days before they were harvested, and Prime Minister Wen stared at it from beginning to end, and then weighed all the grain, and the average yield of 4,000 mu was as high as 877 catties!

With the Jiang family's corn all harvested, the news that the queen was looking for high-yield crops for the people also spread, and for a while, the queen's prestige reached a higher level!

The restaurant and teahouse were full of discussions about this matter for a while.

"Have you heard? It is said that the queen has long had a decree that she will distribute this batch of corn to the people for planting, just so that ordinary people can eat enough one day soon!"

"Really, can something so good be distributed for free? Then I'll go and get some when the time comes, my family has more than a dozen acres of land!"

"Who doesn't have land? My family has not yet been divided, and there are more than 20 people with a total of 58 acres of land, and if we can plant all this corn, then we really don't have to worry about not having enough food to eat."

"Since the queen mother presided over the government, she has actually done practical things for our people, and the plow that the thief is light and easy to use is the mother sent someone to build, and then dozens of big corrupt officials were found out, and millions of taels of silver were copied, except for the silver issued to the border pass, all of which were used to build roads for us.

The road on my side has been repaired for more than ten miles, in previous years, the river embankment was repaired, the ditch was dug by each family to serve the servants, this year is good, the road is 30 yuan per person per day, and a meal at noon, the people in our village are rushing to do it!

This time, I found a grain yield of eight or nine hundred catties per mu, and the queen mother is really a living bodhisattva who rescues suffering!"
