This Prince Consort Is No Pushover!

At this time, Chu xuanchen said, "yue'er, just now I heard you talk about the little beggar girl. I think of those refugees who starved to death in the street. In fact, I have always wanted to do something for the people. I want to improve people's livelihood. I want the people to eat and wear warm clothes, so they don't have to go hungry."

Cloud ruoyue looked at Chu xuanchen with admiration and said with a smile, "Lord, you think of the people all the time. It's really a blessing for the people. You and I want to go together. I also want to improve people's livelihood and think the people can fill their stomachs. It's really good only if everyone is good!"

Chu xuanchen nodded, "well, didn't you say you know a lot of planting methods? You said you could plant vegetables in winter and improve the yield of crops. Can you go to the farm with me to guide the farmers to grow land?"

"OK, no problem." Yun ruoyue said.

They have been very busy since they came back from Jiangzhou.

Later, Chu xuanchen went to war and disappeared. Yun ruoyue really didn't want to do these things. Now they are safe and healthy. They really should start to improve people's livelihood.

Chu xuanchen said, "food is the most important thing for the people. Well, let's start from farming."

。

Soon, Chu xuanchen took Yun ruoyue to his grange, Mingyue villa.

Mingyue villa covers a wide area and stretches continuously. There are large areas of forests, fields, ponds and salt wells.

At this time, many farmers were harvesting rice in the field. Yun ruoyue and Chu xuanchen came forward to see it.

As soon as he saw them coming up, Tian Li, the steward of Chuang Tzu, hurried over, "Lord, princess, why are you here?"

Chu xuanchen said lightly, "the king took the princess to Chuang Tzu to have a look. By the way, Tian Li, how about the rice yield this year?"

Tian Li hurriedly said, "Lord Hui, the weather is dry this year and there is not enough rain. Affected by the weather, the yield of rice has been greatly reduced, about two stones per mu."

"Two stones? They used to be four stones, but this year there are only two stones. The grain output is not enough, and the people will be hungry next year." Chu xuanchen said seriously.

Cloud ruoyue listened and was stunned.

One stone equals 120 kilograms, so the output of rice this year is equivalent to only more than 100 kilograms.

The output of more than 100 kilograms is definitely not enough to eat. It takes at least two or three hundred kilograms to barely eat.

She hurriedly said, "Lord, planting crops needs sufficient water. I just observed the whole farm and found that there is no large lake for water storage in our farm. The world is often dry. To solve the irrigation problem, we must first build water conservancy."

"Build water conservancy?" said Chu xuanchen.

Yun ruoyue nodded: "well, this is one of them. In addition to building water conservancy, we should also improve farming technology, make barren land fertile, and understand the collocation of crops, so as to improve the yield of crops. I will talk about these with Tian Li later."

Chu xuanchen nodded: "moon, you know so much."

Yun ruoyue said, "also, the output of rice, corn and wheat alone is too low. Only the output of corn, potato and sweet potato is high."

"Corn? What are these?" Chu xuanchen asked suspiciously.

Yun ruoyue said, "these are crops that have not been introduced into the state of Chu. They are only available in distant places. The output of these crops is many times higher than that of rice and wheat. They are easy to grow and do not pick land. If you can send someone to find these plants, the people will not be hungry."
