Chapter 54 Princess Wan'an(1/2)
When it comes to farming, Zhao Xin did not really go to the fields to work. That is too extraordinary for a princess. Moreover, she has been living in the palace for many years. To put it nicely, she is like a beautiful flower illuminating the water when she is quiet, and her movements are like a weak willow to support the wind. If it is to change to reality, she must be covered with canopies even under the sun, be careful not to dizzy.
Zhao Xin did not mobilize so much, but she did show that she cared about farming.
For example, when asking about the crops in the manor, often looking at the farmland, etc.
Zhao Xin did not show any knowledge she shouldn't have contact with, but used her princess' authority to do something in her manor.
For example, if a large piece of land is opened up alone and the ornamental flowers and plants planted on it is planted, the nobles who are so idle will do these things. They may not take a look at each year, but they have to take care of them all the time.
She ordered people to try planting three main crops, soybean, rice and wheat.
Zhao Xin also wanted to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, but unfortunately, these two things did not appear in the Daxi Dynasty. She could not make them in a short period of time. She could only adapt to local conditions and start with auxiliary skills.
Rational planting, scientific planting, and preparation of fertilizers.
These knowledge can be easily learned in the modern era of the information explosion. Perhaps many people seem inconspicuous and too simple, but they don’t know that in ancient times, just these simple steps was also an experience formed through hundreds of years of accumulation.
When she was Jiang Ling, she also saw people's dependence and awe of the land.
Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and it is definitely not just a word.
Zhao Xin did not directly take out this knowledge, but chose some extremely outstanding among the farmers to specialize in farming. He also proposed that if he could come up with a way to increase crop yield, he would be rewarded.
Providing the environment and money, rational planting and fertilizer preparation are also a few words that Zhao Xin occasionally advises, inducing them to think in these directions.
Zhao Xin chose to be taken over by the Princess Manor as a good farmer who had the ability to serve the fields for decades, and was even more sophisticated. Speaking of which, Zhao Xin was not as familiar with the fields as they were, but with a little effort, he could come up with an idea soon.
The rewards Zhao Xin gave were also quite generous, not only money, but also freed his family and children from slavery.
It also inspired the enthusiasm of many farmers. At the beginning, when they saw the princess talking to them and asked about farming, they were still frightened and dared not look up. They wondered why the princess was interested in the mud legs. But since the first person who was rewarded appeared, she completely forgot about doubts and fears, and racked her brains to get the crops in the experimental field that the princess said.
In fact, there were many palace servants around Zhao Xin who were dissuading him. He felt that walking by the field would defile the princess’ noble body, but they were all rejected by Zhao Xin’s words, “Agriculture is the foundation of the country.”
Others only thought it was Princess Luohe on a whim, but when it really turned out to be effective, everyone was stunned.
Even the farmers who were fascinated by the princess' reward came back to their senses and realized what the increased yield meant to the world's fields.
And the palace also received news soon.
Yin Lan did not expect that she had been in the palace for six days and was not summoned by Xuan to serve her. Her talent position was too inconspicuous. This time, the sixteen beautiful girls from the general election were from famous families, noble families, or outstanding appearance.
Even if Emperor Zhao Jin chose, he would choose these people first, and he did not forget the old people.
Every day when Yin Lan listened to the palace maid's message and didn't ask her to serve her bed, she felt sad and said that she was such a useless big cucumber.
This was really aggrieved Zhao Jin. He only stayed in the harem for three days in six days. One day he went to see the queen and the prince. In addition, Fu Ying, daughter of the Minister of Rites, and Miao Qian, daughter of the general of the Western Expedition.
Zhao Jin is not a person who values desires, and this is the third year he ascended the throne. He was too busy with the government and had no time to miss the harem.
"You should listen to me and take the initiative to go to the imperial garden where the emperor passed by to seduce him." The system said coldly.
Yin Lan felt a little aggrieved when she pulled the handkerchief. Before she could get rid of her career as a favorite concubine in the last world, she used to coax her and hold her, but now she still has to take the initiative to seduce her.
The system reminded again, "If you don't go, the emperor may forget you."
"The most important thing is that your points are not enough, and it will be difficult for me to maintain this state anymore and may fall into dormant."
As soon as he heard that the system was about to hibernate, Yin Lan instantly obeyed its meaning, "Okay, okay."
Meet the emperor by chance, which is a common thing in the palace. The road between the emperor's court and the bedroom, especially the Imperial Garden, has become a place where concubines often go. It is not a question of spying on the emperor's trail, because concubines often have to wait there for two or three hours.
Who knows if the emperor would leave the minister to say for a long time in the imperial study, even the imperial meal was used there, so Zhao Jin often did this. Occasionally, a concubine was lucky enough to meet him one or two times, but she failed to seduce him to the bed.
Zhao Jin believed that he was not as hungry as the emperor. When he saw a good-looking woman in any place in the palace, he pulled him on the dragon bed. Zhao Jin said that he was still morally honest.
So over time, no one went there anymore. There was no way, and this emperor would not take this routine.
But Yin Lan didn't think so. She might not be able to seduce the emperor. She has the aura of skills provided by the system. No matter how good the emperor's self-control is, she will be addicted to her.
Of course, the system could not allow Yin Lan to wait in the Imperial Garden like other concubines, but instead directly positioned the position of Emperor Zhao Jin and notified Yin Lan at any time of the situation.
Of course, this also requires consuming points. The system is still a miser, and only allowed to pay credit once, and that opportunity has been used up by Yin Lan.
Looking at the points that were about to be cleared, Yin Lan gritted her teeth and "redeem them."
The system sounded, "In two quarters of an hour, the target will end the morning court and arrive at the Imperial Garden."
Yin Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Today she specially changed into a pink and white palace dress with flowers, and a black hair scattered on her shoulders. There was no extra hair accessories. It was simple and elegant, but slightly soft. Without a trace of makeup, she walked in the imperial garden and looked very melancholy and pitiful.
Men always refuse pure and weak women.
Yin Lan made a pose and was waiting to leave a beautiful first glance for the emperor, the system suddenly prompted.
"The goal is not following the past habits and is changing the route..."
"The target has left the palace and is out of the detection range of the system."
Yin Lan: “…”
Zhao Jin heard about Luoshuiyuan and the fields, or his personal guards came back to report, so naturally there would be no falsehood. After asking the palace servant to go to the queen to inform him, he immediately set up a siege and left the palace.
Zhao Jin, who was in a passionate mood in the car, saw with his own eyes that were obviously higher than the rice and wheat at this time, and his eyes were bright.
When they learned that it was the emperor who arrived, except for Zhao Xin standing with a bow, everyone else knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up, especially the farmers in the manor, whose faces were almost buried in the soil. The ancestors of several generations were farmers facing the loess. Who would have thought that one day they would see His Majesty the Emperor, which would be a glorious family.
It was obvious that there were even larger pies on these farmers. The emperor not only praised the fields they were servicing, but also asked in detail how to increase the yield of crops.
Zhao Xin, who had just ruined Yin Lan's first seduced, told him again, "The experiment is still underway."
Zhao Jin was even more looking forward to it. If the experiment in this field was successful, then those methods that were conducive to increasing yield could be promoted to the world.
As for why the emperor girl who should be playing happily outside the palace, she worked hard and even let the farmers in her own manor brainstorm and do so much.
Zhao Xin said sincerely, "The emperor's brother is diligent and loves the people, and Luohe also wants to share the worries of the emperor."
In the past, Zhao Xin gave him the impression that he was sensible and well-behaved, and never bothered him. Now he still missed him to work hard for national affairs. Zhao Jin was simply moved inwardly. Although as an emperor, his joys and anger could not be too evident, Zhao Jin's gaze at Luohe was so soft that he almost drowned.
There is no younger sister than this.
The performance of the test field was obviously too gratifying. Although Zhao Jin was not convenient to publicize it to the court officials before the results were released, he couldn't help it. He first looked at it every few days, and later after seeing the improved farm tools, he simply lived in Luoshui Garden.
It may not be concluded until harvested when scientifically planting fertilizer preparation, but the emergence of improved agricultural tools can immediately see benefits.
Think about the fields that can be cultivated in three days and can be completed in two days. The manpower and material resources saved in this factory are inconspicuous in the manor, but if placed in the whole world, it will make the people of the world grateful.
The patterns of the improved agricultural tools were painted by Zhao Xin, but she searched for the talents. Even though scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have occupied a place in the six ministries, they are more well-known than building canals, river embankments, palaces and gardens, and neglecting the manufacturing of equipment.
Throughout history, those farm tools that are beneficial to future generations for thousands of years have been more popular among the people. The reason for this is that farmers who do farming and rely on the fields to make their living are more concerned about whether they can make the farm tools easier to use and save time and effort. They are the ones that are most familiar with the fields in the world, which is the accumulation of time and the wisdom they condense.
But there is also one disadvantage, that is, it is difficult to spread quickly and widely. Apart from the imperial court, no one can have a lot of financial, material and manpower to promote it.
Zhao Xin does not underestimate the wisdom of people in this era. Talents are rare, but as long as you are willing to search for them, you can find them even in the market.
Cheng Sanming was one of the craftsmen whom the manor found for her. Compared with most craftsmen, he was young and talented, and willing to create. He was craftsmen for generations in his family. Perhaps it was too difficult to cross the class of scholars, farmers, industrial and commercial, but instead he seriously developed this craft and gained a reputation.
I knew it was the princess’ order, so I honestly didn’t dare to ask more questions.
The drawings given by Zhao Xin are not in the finished version, but are more like the first draft with nothing. They just draw circles in the places where they should be. The prompts they give hope that the place will be smoother, and whether it is easier to install a wheel in this place to move.
Cheng Sanming and other selected craftsmen spent more than 20 days in Luoshui Garden and made farm tools that were 80% similar to those in Zhao Xin's memory.
They were a little worried that the painting was drawn, but they could not be sure whether it would be effective when used in the fields.
In addition to asking them to modify a few places, the princess directly asked them to create them.
The effect was amazing. Emperor Zhao Jin called the officials of the Ministry of Works. Compared with Zhao Xin, he was even more princess-related than Zhao Xin, so he could only supervise him. Zhao Jin went to the fields himself to try to plow the land with the newly built Luoshui.
No one said that the emperor had lost his manners, but said that God blessed Daxi and that the emperor loved the people was a blessing for the world.
The name Luoshuili was chosen by Emperor Zhao Jin. Zhao Xin originally thought about how to suggest the name she remembered, which was originally to commemorate the first place and the people there.
However, Zhao Jin seemed to have a preference for naming, and insisted that the appearance of this farm tool was in Luoshui Garden, and the craftsmen in Luoshui Garden were also thought of. To commemorate his hard-working imperial girl, he should also commemorate his hard-working emperor.
Zhao Xin: "..." She just spoke and gave a few instructions, but she had never done anything.
However, people at that time had this idea. The farmers who increased the yield of the fields were affiliated to the princess's manor. Cheng Sanming and others who improved the farm tools were hired by Princess Luohe. This contribution was also attributed to Princess Luohe. Even the officials who followed Zhao Jin thought so. The eyes of Princess Luohe were full of respect.
It was natural for both craftsmen such as Cheng Sanming and those farmers to be grateful for the princess’s rewards and rewards.
9526 didn't understand either. Zhao Xin thought for a while and said, "Probably, there is no patent right in this world."
In other words, it was the first time she felt the privileges of the ancient aristocratic class. Even if she was not a princess, the same would be true for any aristocratic family.
In general, Zhao Xin knew very well that she just gathered the wisdom of the working people, this working people and that working people.
What was a little comforting was that Zhao Jin did not ignore the craftsmen because of this, but instead recruited them into the Ministry of Works. Although he was a ninth-rank minor official, the first time he ascended to the rank of scholars still made Cheng Sanming and others ecstatic.
In addition, Zhao Xin's original purpose seemed to have also been achieved. Stimulated by the improved farm tools, Zhao Jin paid more attention to the experimental field. In addition to going back in the morning court, he lived in Luoshui Garden. Many memorials were also brought to review, paying attention to the changes in the farmland at all times.
After the disclosure of some officials of the Ministry of Works and the large number of Luoshui plows that are being manufactured and promoted throughout the world, many people also knew some details. Of course, it cannot be said that Princess Luohe focuses on farming, but has become more official. Princess Luohe recommends talents who are good at farming and craftsmen who improve farm tools in the manor, which is beneficial to the country.
The court officials said nothing about Zhao Jin's behavior. Did the emperor blame him for paying too much attention to farming? It was also a good reputation when it was spread, and he also supported Zhao Jin's move.
The real suffering is the concubines in the harem, especially those who have entered the palace. For example, the queen and the four concubines have a unique status and have seen many things. They just think that the emperor has been out for ten days and half a month.
Although the new concubines had not seen Tianyan for a long time, they did not dare to say it. Zhao Jin did not leave the government affairs, but just didn't go to the harem very much. If they said a complaint, wouldn't it be their hope that His Majesty would delay national affairs and linger in the harem?
That is the demon concubine who harms the country and the people.
All the new concubines were very peaceful for a while, and the only exception was Yin Lan.
Yin Lan felt that there was no beginning of time traveling more aggrieved than this. In the past, no matter whether it was the concubines in the cold palace or the unknown palace maid, when she came over, she would not have soared into the sky and be favored alone.
No matter how bad the situation is or how bad the family background is, as long as she can see the emperor and use the skill aura given by the system, she can immediately counterattack.
To be continued...
