Chapter 314 Harvest

Duke Dingguo fell, and many ministers in the court were trembling with fear.

Xu Liangsheng returned home and told his wife about the fate of Duke Dingguo's mansion, but he was still frightened.

Mrs. Xu frowned and said: "Sir, what the Lu family did is really worthy of death. It's just that the Lu family fell down at their own word. It's really unpredictable. The Lu family also committed suicide on their own. The Queen is missing. The Holy Spirit originally

It’s very sad. They took the opportunity to force the Holy One to change the queen’s name, and they are so shameless. If the Holy One doesn’t deal with it, what are they waiting for?”

Xu Liangsheng looked at the room and saw that there was no one else in the room, approached his wife and whispered: "This Lu Zhilan knew that she wanted to enter the palace as a concubine, and that she would probably become a queen, and she originally wanted to enter the palace, but she still did such a scandal

There must be something fishy."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu looked at her husband and whispered, "Do you suspect that someone is plotting against the Lu family?"

Xu Liangsheng said: "I got a piece of news that the Holy Emperor didn't want to accept a concubine at all, and the imperial edict to adopt a concubine came from the Supreme Emperor. The Holy Emperor even had a quarrel with the Supreme Emperor over this matter.

The Supreme Emperor felt that the Queen's influence on the Holy Emperor was too great, and wanted to use other women to distract the Holy Emperor's love for the Queen. But the Holy Emperor did not want other women. The Queen's disappearance was probably related to the Emperor's imperial edict to the Holy Emperor to take concubines.

related."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she felt something was wrong and said, "Master, do you think Lu Zhilan's matter might be the work of the Holy One? Then will our family Yin Yin be in danger?"

The more Mrs. Xu thought about it, the more worried she became. She grabbed her husband and said, "Sir, we Yin Yin don't want to enter the palace at all, but there is nothing we can do about it because of the imperial edict. Now that the Holy Emperor is becoming more and more powerful, it is estimated that the Supreme Emperor will not be able to control the Holy Emperor at all in the future. If the Holy Emperor

I don’t want to think that if our Yin Yin enters the palace, will it be detrimental to our Yin Yin?”

Xu Liangsheng frowned and thought for a long time and said: "Tomorrow I will go to see the Holy One and tell the Holy One that our family Yin Yin is not in good health and ask the Holy One to spare our daughter from entering the palace. If the Holy One really does not want our daughter to enter the palace, he will definitely take advantage of the situation.

If my request is granted, then we don’t have to worry."

Mrs. Xu nodded and said: "Let's do it. We didn't want our daughter to enter the palace. It would be great if the Holy Father could agree. But I'm afraid my daughter's marriage will be affected. That's better than being ignored or even dangerous if she enters the palace.

good."

Xu Liangsheng did not delay the next day and met with the emperor alone to express his request.

Xiao Yilin summoned Xu Liangsheng in Zichen Palace. He was very happy after hearing Xu Liangsheng's request. He felt that Xu Liangsheng was well aware of current affairs, so he agreed to his request.

In this way, he has solved the two women who want to enter the palace, and there are only two left. He will find a way to solve these two obstacles.

When Xu Liangsheng came out of the Zichen Palace, he recalled the tone of the Sage's words and the expression on his face and knew that he had taken the right step. He felt that the Sage had no intention of letting the women in the Emperor's decree enter the palace. He took the initiative to propose that his daughter could not enter.

Gong's request was in line with His Majesty's wishes, so it seemed that both his daughter and the Xu family were in peace.

Jing Yi didn't know that Xiao Yilin was looking for her while stabilizing the government, and was also removing the obstacles between them little by little. Now that she was pregnant and had many things to deal with, she had no time to think about Xiao Yilin.

In early spring, the grain and other crops she led her men to grow were harvested one after another. Whether it was rice, wheat or potatoes, it was a bumper harvest. The yield surprised everyone involved in the farming.

Jingyi also showed everyone how to eat potatoes. No one expected that this potato not only has a high yield but can also be used to make a variety of delicious foods. This was the first time for everyone to see it. With this high-yielding potato, everyone was filled with excitement.

There is nothing to worry about when your stomach is full.

After the farmers harvest this crop, they can be completely self-sufficient, and there is no need for Jingyi to buy food from outside.

In the past few months, not only has there been a crop of grain harvests, but we have also been able to eat all the vegetables grown by each family. The chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep raised by each family are growing very well. Many people's hens have begun to lay and eat eggs.

No need to worry anymore.

The salt drying field built by Song Yuancheng was very successful, and a lot of coarse salt has been produced. The veterans who built the salt drying field built houses next to the salt drying field and stayed there for a long time, which happened to be kept secret from the outside world.

The veterans were so excited that tears filled their eyes when they saw salt produced from seawater for the first time.

In ancient times, due to the limited knowledge the ancients had, they could only make salt by directly placing an iron pot on the stovetop, lighting a fire, and boiling salt water.

This primitive method of boiling salt takes time, consumes fuel, and has a small output, so the price of salt is expensive. The sale and purchase of salt was a huge profit industry in ancient times.

Moreover, all dynasties in the past have brought the salt trade under the control of the imperial court, and prohibited private production and sale of salt. Salt trading was an important source of tax revenue for the courts in each dynasty.

Moreover, the source of salt production was generally controlled by the imperial court, and private individuals did not have the raw materials even if they wanted to make salt.

Because the country's salt production was very small, Beiyan had to buy it from Jin or Yi, which also cost them a lot of money every year. Beiyan also once launched a war because of salt.

So both ordinary people and officials know the importance of salt. These veterans know it even more.

Nowadays, salt can be produced from sea water, which is really exciting. After all, sea water is inexhaustible, and it is easy to use salt fields to dry salt. This is a very profitable business.

A workshop was built at the foot of the mountain at the salt drying farm. Under Jingyi's guidance, the coarse salt was dissolved and filtered, and crystallized to obtain relatively clean salt.

Now that Jingyi is inconvenient, he has not yet found a reagent to remove soluble impurities in salt, so he can only do this first. Even so, for the ancients, this kind of salt was already very good.

Song Yuancheng was extremely excited when he saw the pure white salt after processing. As a former member of a noble family, he certainly knew what this meant. With this endless supply of salt, they would earn a lot of money and develop their own power.

It's much easier.

Jing Yi felt relieved when she handed over the salt drying field to Song Yuancheng, and later she sent Qiao Hong there.

Song Yuancheng has more important things to do in the future. When Qiao Hong grows up, he will hand over the salt drying farm to Qiao Hong to manage.

Jingyi was in the late stages of her pregnancy, so mother and daughter Qin and Liu made a lot of small clothes, diapers, and quilts for Jingyi's child.

Jingyi attaches great importance to this child, and she requires that the diapers, clothes, quilts, etc. prepared for the child be made of soft cotton.

She was afraid that she would have no milk, so she had cows and ewes raised. Even if she had no milk, she could still let her children drink cow's milk or goat's milk.

During this period, Jing Yi taught Qu a lot of medical knowledge, which made Qu grow a lot. Especially in terms of delivery, maternal care, infant care, etc. Jing Yi taught Qu a lot, and Qu was very grateful.

, is very concerned about Jingyi’s pregnancy.
