During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

"Does this need to be said? You can see it with the naked eye. The wheat grown from the new wheat seeds has full grains, and the wheat ears alone are heavier than the previous wheat ears. If you calculate it this way, the yield of five dan per mu is basically impossible. No problem."

Liu Xiangyang moved his body, still lying on his back, his slightly bulging belly rising and falling, and humming a little tune in his mouth.

At this time, a girl came quickly with a green bamboo umbrella, and the second housekeeper quickly pushed Liu Xianghe.

As soon as Liu Xianghe opened his eyes, his vision suddenly lit up.

"Why is Miss Jiang here on such a hot day?" He said and invited Jiang Miao in.

"I heard that sickening was going on today, so I came over here to take a look." Jiang Miao slapped her cheeks with some heat and glanced at Liu Xianghe sheepishly.

When Liu Xianghe met her for the first time, he knew that this girl had a free and easy temper. Seeing that she was so rude, he didn't take it to heart and poured her a cup of herbal tea instead.

Jiang Miao drank a drink and poured another for Lan Xin.

She asked curiously: "Master Liu, why are there only young people and no women in the fields?"

Liu Xianghe was surprised, "We hired short-term workers, and of course they are only young people."

"Isn't a day's work meant for harvesting wheat? Women can do anything that men can do. If you want to harvest faster, why not hire some female day laborers? I think their work may not be worse than men's."

Liu Xianghe thought for a moment and looked at the second housekeeper.

The second housekeeper quickly dialed the abacus in his hand, his eyes bright, "Master, this method is feasible."

Male workers earn [-] cash per month, while female workers earn [-] cash per month. As Jiang Miao said, female workers do no worse than male workers.

Why didn't he think of it earlier?

There are many large and small landowners in Qingzhou. When the farming season is busy, it is particularly difficult to find day laborers. The Liu family spent a lot of money to hire these.

If they hire female workers earlier, they can save a little more time.

When Liu Xianghe saw the expression on the second housekeeper's face, he knew that this method would work. "In that case, why are you still standing here? Why don't you quickly recruit a group of female part-time workers? The wheat must be harvested, dried, and weighed as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The second housekeeper left in a hurry.

Jiang Miao looked at his leaving figure with envy, "It would be great if I could have such a shrewd butler who can settle accounts."

"Miss Jiang is so good at budgeting, so there is no need for a powerful housekeeper." A sudden voice sounded outside the grass.

Liu Xianghe and Jiang Miao walked out in surprise.

"Magistrate Wang? Why is it you?"

As soon as Jiang Miao finished speaking, Liu Xianghe had already recognized King Yuzhang. He knelt on the ground respectfully, lowered his head, and said in an anxious tone, "Liu Xianghe, a common man, comes to see King Yuzhang."

Jiang Miao turned to look at Liu Xianghe, then glanced at King Yuzhang, and quickly knelt down, "See King Yuzhang."

King Yuzhang walked straight in and said, "Everyone, get up." As he said that, he naturally sat down at Liu Xianghe's seat, with the wheat fields in the distance.

Jiang Miao stood behind Liu Xianghe, turned around and asked Lan Xin in a low voice, "Who is King Yuzhang?"

Lan Xin: ...Co-author: You don’t know who he is at all?
Seeing Jiang Miao's surprised look just now, I thought she knew about King Yuzhang?
Lan Xin quietly told Jiang Miao about King Yuzhang's life experience, "King Yuzhang's father, the old King Yuzhang, and the current majesty are cousins. When your majesty went on a personal expedition, the old king Yuzhang died to save your majesty. He only had such a son before his death. His Majesty loved him very much, and the imperial edict exceeded that of the prince.

Jiang Miao's eyes lit up. If you calculate it this way, isn't King Yuzhang Luo Tingye's cousin?
I couldn't help but feel a little closer to him.

Lan Xin didn't mention his relationship with Luo Tingye specifically. He thought it was neither far nor close. At least the relationship wasn't too bad. Otherwise, how could Lan Xin deliberately not say anything?

King Yuzhang and County Magistrate Wang both sat down and found Jiang Miao still standing aside dumbly, so they couldn't help but hook up.Jiang Miao subconsciously took a step towards him, but stopped again.

She wasn't a puppy, so why did she have to go over there as soon as he hooked her hand?

King Yuzhang was just doing this unconsciously, but when he saw Jiang Miao's expression of being angry but afraid to speak, he was immediately amused.

"Miss Jiang, please sit down."

Jiang Miao was a little unhappy about the hookup just now, so she shook her head and refused.

County Magistrate Wang looked at King Yuzhang's expression and quickly explained, "Miss Jiang has an easy-going temperament and does not understand the rules of the officialdom. Please don't blame me."

King Yuzhang really didn't take it to heart at first, but after realizing that Magistrate Wang was protecting Jiang Miao, he suddenly became interested. In addition, Jiang Miao found the wheat seed, and he became even more interested. Interested.

"You don't look much like your brother."

King Yuzhang's tone was very calm, and there was no hint of emotion or anger.

Is not this nonsensical?

Jiang Miao stared at him and asked, "You and your brothers and sisters should look different."

King Yuzhang: "..."

Liu Xianghe was shocked for a while, and looking at Jiang Miao's innocent look, he felt slightly worried for the other party.

Magistrate Wang suddenly regretted bringing King Yuzhang here. Just as he was about to explain a few words to Jiang Miao, King Yuzhang laughed heartily.

"What a funny little girl."

"I'm not young anymore." Seeing that he was not angry, Jiang Miao became more courageous.

King Yuzhang laughed again, his eyes full of interest. He suddenly put away the folding fan and said in a serious tone: "Can I marry you to be my princess?"

Magistrate Wang's expression suddenly became much more serious. He didn't know whether King Yuzhang's move was a spur of the moment, or whether he sensed something intentional to test.

Liu Xianghe was really worried about this little girl.

Why did you fall in love with this devil?

Jiang Miao's eyes also widened, and she was more speechless.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint the prince. I've already been betrothed to him."

"Why haven't I heard your elder brother mention it? What kind of family are you married to? Does the other party have the power and status of this king?"

Magistrate Wang, who knew the inside story, thought to himself, this person has much more power and status than you.

Lan Xin's palms were a little sweaty. His Highness had told her to protect the girl before leaving, but just now, the girl was actually proposed to by someone else. This was really a dereliction of duty on her part.

But the other party is King Yuzhang. Even if she is a powerful martial artist, she cannot openly beat the prince.

In a short while, King Yuzhang mentioned his eldest brother twice.

The feeling of closeness Jiang Miao had before disappeared without a trace.

The eldest brother will not mention her affairs to a prince easily, not to mention that the prince seems so unreliable. Isn't this causing trouble for himself?

Jiang Miao's body trembled slightly, and her hands hung on her sides uneasily. (End of chapter)
