Reborn as the beloved of the crippled king

Chapter 292 And Jun Yuyan was there to tell her the truth?
"You are bad people! You are all bad people!"

The little boy who threw the mud said loudly, his black and white eyes full of hatred.

He wanted to pick up the dirt on the ground and throw it away, but was hurriedly stopped by a frightened couple.

The two of them pulled the child and knelt down to kowtow to Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu: "The child did not do it on purpose. There are many nobles, please spare the child!"

The couple were dressed in rags, with dozens of patches on their clothes. The man was barefoot and the woman was wearing straw sandals, and their bodies were covered in mud.

Murong Jiu glanced not far away. There were many people dressed like them, and they were all doing spring plowing.

But they all stopped what they were doing and looked this way.

On the field ridge in the distance, there was a middle-aged man with a big belly who secretly picked up a hoe and pretended to hoe the ground. However, his dress was incompatible with the farmers here.

She got off the carriage, looked at the couple and said, "Do you know who we are?"

The couple knelt on the ground and cowered, trembling with fear, "Cao, Cao people know that you are Princess Ling, and the one next to you is Prince Ling."

"You are bad people! You are the bad people who make us hungry!"

The child raised his head, pointed at Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu and scolded them.

The peasant woman hurriedly covered the child's mouth with a look of horror on her face, fearing that the guard next to her would chop her child with a knife.

Jun Yuyan said: "We will not hurt anyone, eldest sister, please let go of him and let him continue talking."

Murong Jiuhan squatted down and looked at the little boy at eye level, "We will not let you go hungry, we will only let you eat well. Tell aunt, who told you that you will be hungry in the future?"

Her eyes were gentle, and the boy suddenly stopped being arrogant and just gritted his teeth and said:

"That's what Butler Liu said! He said that the leaves you asked us to plant won't produce food at all, and you just want to starve us to death!"

The leaves he mentioned should be sweet potato stems used for cuttings.

Yesterday, Sinong brought the palace's servants over to teach the farmers how to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, so today Murong Jiu wanted to come over and have a look.

Unexpectedly, I encountered provocation and trouble the next day.

"If I wanted to starve you to death, I wouldn't have been giving porridge in the capital for several months, and I wouldn't have been able to save so many refugees."

Murong Jiu stretched out his hand and touched the boy's dry hair. He took out a handful of milk beet candies from his sleeve and gave them to him. Seeing that he was holding them blankly and not daring to move, he took out one and peeled off the oil paper. Put it in his mouth.

The boy's eyes widened at the sudden sweetness that melted in his mouth, and he was speechless for a while.

Chang Chonghai came over carrying the middle-aged man who was on the field ridge just now. He was the housekeeper Liu the boy mentioned.

"This land belongs to the Liu family. These farmers do not have their own land. They are tenants who rent the Liu family's land. They work hard for a year and can only keep % of the food at most, and the remaining % is counted as rent. .”

Murong Jiu frowned.

Those who have land in Dayan are called homesteaders, and those who have no land and can only rent land from landlords are called tenant farmers. Most of these people are refugees who have fled from other places and suffered natural disasters or other disasters.

But according to what Murong Jiu knew, the tenants should be able to keep % of the food after a year of hard work. Obviously, the Liu family exploited them too much.

Chang Chonghai said: "Last summer there was heavy rain, which flooded many fields. As a result, many tenants had no harvest and had to pay rent to the landlords. The prince and princess originally wanted to make the fields more harvestable, but this steward Liu secretly instigated and told Their princes and princesses are using their fields for experiments, and they will definitely lose their crops and starve!"

Jun Yuyan's cold eyes fell on Butler Liu, who trembled and fell to his knees on the ground.

"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!"

"The Liu family was the first to respond to the imperial court's call. I don't know that you have one thing on the surface but another behind your back."

Butler Liu was shaking like chaff and his face was pale.At this time, another guard ran over from the distant field, holding sweet potato stalks in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Princess, the sweet potatoes that were planted yesterday have all been pulled out and other crops have been planted."

Murong Jiu took the sweet potato stalks over and was slightly relieved to see that they were still fresh. Fortunately, she had a sudden idea today, otherwise these precious sweet potato stalks would have been wasted.

"That's all, let's plant it on our own fertile land first. Even if we plant it again here, there will be people who are willing to destroy it."

Originally, she wanted to give priority to other people's fields so that the people could be fed first, which would also stimulate subsequent farmers. Now that she thinks about it, she still underestimated some people who were interested.

The Liu family agreed so happily and responded to the court's call, maybe someone was behind it.

Jun Yuyan lowered his face and said to the tenants present: "If you don't want to plant it, we won't force it. The Liu family agreed on their own initiative without your consent, and deliberately provoked your emotions. I, the king, have done this on their own." It will be investigated strictly.”

Butler Liu was lying on the ground ashen. He never expected that Prince Ling and Princess Ling would suddenly come over. This was really bad.

"Your Majesty, can the potatoes and sweet potatoes we grow really produce a thousand catties per acre?"

A skinny old man in the crowd asked tremblingly.

Jun Yuyan found out the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Those old farmers conservatively estimated that the yield was two thousand kilograms per mu. Because potatoes and sweet potatoes are relatively heavy, one plant can produce at least four or five. In one acre of field, the quantity is astonishing. .

He said: "As long as you can plant well, keep away insects, water and fertilize, you will definitely be able to produce one thousand catties per mu! I can guarantee you that if you cannot produce one thousand catties per mu, I will compensate each of you ten taels of silver." .”

All the people present took a deep breath.

A thousand catties!

What is this concept?
The yield of wheat from an acre of land is only to jins, while the yield of rice and corn per acre is about jins at most. In the event of natural disasters, there may be no harvest.

No one has ever dared to imagine that there would be any grain that could produce one thousand kilograms per mu!

If that were the case, they would be sleeping on the ridges of the fields and growing sweet potatoes!
"We plant! We are willing to plant!"

The boy's parents were the first to speak. Their eyes, which had been lifeless, were now filled with hope.

Even if the output is not that high, five hundred kilograms is enough to make people excited.

Besides, the prince himself said that if it is less than a thousand catties, each person will be compensated ten taels of silver.

Butler Liu was in a cold sweat, but the tenants were happy.

However, Murong Jiu still had all the sweet potato stalks taken away and asked them to plant potatoes. The potatoes were sent after they had been germinated, and their tenants all grew the same ones, which made them easier to take care of.

Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu went to visit other places, and the situation was similar to the Liu family.

Some are instigated by someone behind the scenes, and some are afraid to plant new crops out of fear of the unknown.

Murong Jiuyi was a little angry at first, but gradually lost his anger. Anyone who wants to innovate will encounter obstacles.

When the potatoes and sweet potatoes mature, more people will naturally join in.

Besides, these are things that can be solved with money.

Buy fields, keep buying fields!
She will be the landlord, and she will rent the tenants!
The field is not for sale?Then spend more money!
She has the confidence to be arrogant. Even if there is no money in the account, Jun Yuyan will take care of her. Everything in the palace's warehouse is for her.

The carriage had just entered the capital, and Murong Jiu was about to go see Shopkeeper Chai when suddenly there was a sound outside, the carriage stopped suddenly, and then a miserable cry was heard.

Jun Yuyan frowned and opened the curtain: "What's the matter?"
