Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 281 The Joy of Harvest

Dad will change your wife when he comes home, son~~~

Ren Changfeng shed tears in the wind.

[What is Ren Changfeng sighing about! His son is mediocre in every aspect, and he should be very lucky to have a good daughter-in-law.]

Ren Changfeng was halfway through his grief when he couldn't go on any longer. How could his son be so ordinary? After all, he passed the imperial examination and became an official. Although he was only a county magistrate and could only be a fourth-rank official in his life, he was still better than most people.

[How could such a smart woman be willing to marry an ordinary person? ]

Ren Changfeng was furious again. His daughter-in-law was not smart at all. She was just trying to be all-round...

Ren Changfeng was at a loss for words for the last word. The fact that he could take everything into consideration showed that his daughter-in-law was a smart person.

[It turned out that it was winter when they met, and the daughter-in-law said she was thirsty. Normally, the man should take her to a restaurant or send her back to her room to let her drink water.]

[As a result, Ren Changfeng's son was a weirdo. He broke off an icicle from the eaves and stuffed it into his future wife's mouth, saying, "Eat it. It's delicious." Fortunately, Beijing is not the Northeast, and the temperature is not that low. If his future wife's tongue was stuck on the icicle, Ren Changfeng's son would definitely be famous in Beijing.]

Ren Changfeng looked up at the sky: How come he didn’t know that his son had done such a thing.

[This incident alone made my daughter-in-law decide to marry into the Ren family, because it was obvious that this man was not very smart, and it would be easy to control him if she married him.]

[Ren Changfeng's son is indeed easy to control. He does whatever his wife tells him to do. His wife says taking a concubine is bad, but seeing that his father doesn't have a concubine, Ren Changfeng's son believes her and doesn't take a concubine.]

[Fortunately, the children all looked like their daughter-in-law, otherwise Master Ren would have cried.]

Ren Changfeng couldn't help but nodded: Fortunately! Fortunately!

The next moment I realized what was going on. Fortunately, what was that?

The daughter-in-law is willing to marry my son because he is easy to control. This is not good news at all.

But the grandchildren are all like their daughter-in-law and are very smart, so the daughter-in-law deserves great credit.

With the construction that spared no effort, the salt field was completed. When the first batch of salt was produced, deafening cheers were heard inside and outside the salt field.

"Three days! In just three days, we have produced endless amounts of salt. Will the people of Daqian be able to eat cheap salt in the future?" The people outside the salt field said excitedly.

Next to him was an older scholar, who stroked his beard while looking at the white salt in the salt field with a smile on his face: "I don't know how it is in other places, but we can definitely get the cheapest salt in Changlu County."

"Wow!!!"

The scholar's words caused sighs from those around him.

Ever since the imperial court came to Changlu County to build a salt field, all the young and strong people in Changlu County went to work in the salt field. Lord Wei, who was in charge of the salt field, paid very high wages. Although it was hard work, everyone was willing to do it.

Going out to sea is more difficult, and you may lose your life if you are not careful. It is no match for working in a salt field.

As the salt field began to produce salt, the price of salt in Changlu County dropped suddenly, from 300 wen per catty to 50 wen per catty, and it seemed that there was still a downward trend. The people of Changlu County were so happy that every family stockpiled a large jar of salt.

I don’t know what the price is in other places, but the people of Changlu County will be able to eat cheap salt from now on.

The salt field was built and salt was produced, but Xu Jinyu and his team still could not return to the capital. They had to repair the road outside Changlu County and make it a cement road to facilitate the transportation of salt.

Before Xu Jinyu and his team came, Changlu County was just an ordinary lower county of Daqian. The official road was barely passable, and there were many potholes and collapses along the way. If they wanted to transport so much salt out of Changlu County, they had to have a good road.

Wei An stayed to record the production of the salt field, while Ren Changfeng took the lead in building the road.

As for Xu Jinyu and Wuyang, they continued to stroll around the county.

Time flies and it is autumn. This year, autumn sacrifices were held in various places in Daqian.

The autumn sacrifice in the capital was particularly grand. The emperor, empress, crown prince and princes all changed into short clothes and went to the fields to harvest the crops themselves.

The farm tools raised high reflect their excited mood. The feeling of hearing about the output and actually seeing the output are very different.

Emperor Xuan contracted an acre of sweet potato field by himself. The yield of sweet potatoes was the highest among these good varieties. He wanted to witness the miracle happen.

Emperor Xuan's hands were shaking as he dug an acre of sweet potatoes. He had never done such physical work before. Emperor Xuan was still working hard when the Minister of Revenue stumbled over from the front. His voice was hoarse and trembling with excitement.

"Report! Your Majesty! 1000 catties of corn."

"Report! Your Majesty! 1000 kilograms of wheat."

"Report! Your Majesty! 3000 kilograms of pumpkin."

"Report! Your Majesty! 3200 kilograms of potatoes."

"Report! Your Majesty! 4500 kilograms of sweet potatoes."

······

The production output, which was higher than the last, made Emperor Xuan so excited that his face turned red and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Good! Good! Good! The Changlu County Salt Field is already able to produce salt steadily, producing 10 kilograms of salt per month. The salt field will continue to expand. I want the people of Daqian to eat salt that costs cents per kilogram, and I also want the people of Daqian to never go hungry."

I want this world to become the China that Xu Jinyu talks about!

Xu Jinyu was right when he said that as long as the people are well fed, there is no one who would rebel. With these magical objects, Daqian will be in eternal peace.

"My emperor will live forever!"

Following the left prime minister's words, all the officials knelt down.

"My emperor will live forever!!!"

The deafening sound spread throughout the capital.

At this moment, both officials and people were equally happy. People were happy because they no longer had to go hungry, and officials were happy because they received higher taxes.

Hearing the noise outside, the envoys from Da Wu and Da Yue were so anxious that they jumped up and down.

After a year, they still haven't gotten a large amount of grain seeds. They did get a few sporadically, but they were too few. It would take a long time before they could plant grains on a large scale.

Princess Tai'an has been recuperating in the princess's mansion for a year.

These days are the days of grain harvest, and they wanted to do something, but the outside of the Honglu Temple was heavily guarded by troops, who said that a villain had come from the capital.

Bullshit! The capital city allowed the evildoers to wreak havoc in the capital city. Wasn't it to guard against them?

The joy of the harvest also spread to Changlu County. Changlu County is close to the sea, and there is not much land suitable for planting, but some high-yield grain seeds were also distributed.

The county magistrate only planted a few acres of land, and watched over them closely like his own sons. After harvesting the grain, he immediately put it into the warehouse. Next year, there will be at least dozens of acres of high-yield grain.

The year after next, there will be several thousand acres of land, and the year after that, all the land in Changlu County will be able to grow high-yield crops. From then on, there will be endless good days.

That day, as Xu Jinyu just walked onto the street, he saw a lot of people running towards the city gate.

He grabbed a random passerby and asked, "Brother, what happened outside?"

The passerby looked back at Xu Jinyu and said with a smile: "It's the young official. There are a lot of refugees outside. Let's go and take a look."

Refugees?

I haven't heard from Lord Ren what disasters have happened in Daqian this year. Ren Changfeng just told Xu Jinyu some time ago that there has been no trouble in Daqian this year, all the counties have had a good harvest, and God has been kind to Daqian.

Especially in Xu Jinyu's fiefdom, Zhengyang County, the entire county was planted with high-yield high-quality varieties, and the grain was bought by officials from other counties as soon as it was harvested.

How could there be refugees!

Unless there is another inhuman county magistrate.

Princess Wuyang also frowned and pulled Xu Jinyu's wrist.

"Let's go! Let's take a good look at where these refugees come from. If there is another county magistrate like the one in Blueprint County, I will definitely complain to Daddy!"

At this moment, Princess Wuyang and Xu Jinyu's thought processes strangely overlapped.
