Space Struggle After becoming a concubine, I just want to farm

210 Three Years
The three years of busy life slipped away in a blink of an eye.

It’s spring again, and there are still many things to do this year.

In the past three years, every province, state, and county in Qing State has built granaries, full of grain, and stored grain for three full years.The imperial court required that the newly harvested grain every year must be put into the granary, and the people first ate the old grain from the previous year.

The people of Qing State have had enough food and clothing in recent years. Although they complained about this regulation, the court explained that it was making preliminary preparations to develop more productive seeds, so the people tolerated it.Anyway, I can eat enough. Last year’s food was also food, so I just need to eat enough.

It can't be said that the imperial court produced some high-yield grains such as sweet potatoes and corn, not to mention better than this.I heard that in the south, there are three kinds of rice a year, which are also seeds given by the imperial court.

These are really not rumors. Ruyi has taken out a large number of spiritual seeds from space in the past three years. Anyway, Emperor Qinglong helped cover it up.Although Emperor Qinglong suspected something, he never asked more questions and just finished the work silently.

Moreover, the people have something even happier to do.That is, throughout this year, the imperial court asked the people to plant all high-yield grains in the spring, and also exempted all the people from various taxes this year.Moreover, all the grain harvested at the end of the year will be left to the people, but private sales are not allowed, saying that the court will have arrangements in the spring of next year.

Anyway, no taxes are paid, and the people are happy. All the food in the fields is stored in the cellar. There is so much food. Imagine that if the family eats it openly, it can last for a whole year.Beautiful.

However, at the beginning of this spring, the imperial court also had a strange policy.It is required that each family must have two fire pits, and each family must build one.

The imperial court's construction team directly sent people to each village, and the people from the construction team were responsible for supervision and guidance. Each family provided labor for repairs. Generally, a village with dozens of households could be repaired in half a month.

"Village Chief, I only heard from my cousin who ran away from home saying that this fire kang is great in the winter in the north. But we in the south don't use it much. It was only half a year cold last year. We haven't needed this thing in the past few years. ." A villager didn't really want to build a hot bed at home. Anyway, the coldest season was only a few days last year.

"No, you dare not listen to what the court says. Look at the grains in the cellar. They are all seeds produced by the court's idea. There are also raising geese. How could it be so simple in the past? If you can't raise them well, they will die. Now what? , there are enough duck and goose eggs every day.”

The village chief is a supporter of the imperial court. In his opinion, the imperial court must be justified in doing this, and it was too cold last year. He is already fifty, and this is the first time in so many years that he has encountered such a cold weather. Is it okay? It will be even colder this year.

"My dear, hurry up. After repairing your house and two others, our village will be finished." The village chief became tough, and the villagers also led people to their homes.

Scenes like this happen in many places.

When the repairs in various places were almost completed, the imperial court issued another notice: From now on, the rule not to cut down small trees will be temporarily lifted this year. Every ordinary household must stock up on firewood for five months at home before September. Violators will be followed Taxes doubled in three years.

The people didn’t know what to say, okay, okay, for the sake of a better life in the next three years, these people took an hour or two every day to go to the mountains to cut trees. Anyway, it would only take a little effort. After all, firewood would have to be cut sooner or later. thing.

Xianfu Palace.

Emperor Qinglong walked all the way from the imperial study to Xianfu Palace, with reports from various adults recurring in his mind.

"According to statistics from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, a total of 50 skins have been purchased from outside the customs in the past three years, not counting private transactions by ordinary people. The skins have been transported to the coldest provinces, and the remaining ones are shipped to the central region."

"The fire pit is almost built, and we have started to stock up on firewood."

"Charcoal burning has also been successful. After so many years, every household has saved a lot of carbon according to the annual targets. By then, even if there is not enough firewood, there will be enough charcoal."

"The granaries everywhere are full, and this year's harvest will all belong to the common people."

. . . . . .

The time for extreme cold was getting closer and closer, and Emperor Qinglong was feeling a little nervous.

"Your Majesty." Ruyi saw the old emperor walking into the room with a tired look, felt a little distressed, and secretly poured him a glass of spiritual spring water.

Emperor Qinglong didn't look at it. He picked it up and drank. After drinking, he looked at Ruyi with complicated eyes.The buzzing voice in Emperor Qinglong's head finally calmed down. He was too tired in the imperial study room this day.

"Ruyi, I am both afraid that the extreme cold will not come, and I am also afraid that the extreme cold will come." Emperor Qinglong sat and Ruyi stood, and the old emperor buried his face in Ruyi's arms.

Ruyi patted him on the back gently: "Your Majesty, believe me, the extreme cold will come, but the entire Qing Kingdom will definitely survive it safely."
