Reborn as the beloved of the crippled king

Chapter 558 Women Are No Worse Than Men
"I just came to take a look. You don't have to worry about it. Jingniang, just accompany me. The rest of you can go about your business."

Murong Jiu naturally did not have the airs of a queen. She even greeted the old Si Nong who used to work in Prince Ling's Mansion and asked him a few questions.

Seeing this, the others also went back to their respective duties.

Jingniang took Murong Jiu to look at each row of crops in the glazed shed. She could tell the origin and habits of each crop grown from seeds, and she could even tell the story of the newly grown seedlings.

It can be seen that she really loves this career.

Yes, in Wang Yingluo’s words, it’s career.

Everyone has their own career, and women are no exception.

Jingniang has found her interests and position, so she can contribute greatly to farming.

The latest farming books wrote about the first crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, and cotton, which were all planted and bred by her and several other veteran farmers.

This is the first time in a hundred years that a woman's name has appeared in an agricultural book.

I heard that many peasant women in the countryside regard Jingniang as a role model and learn from her.

After going around several greenhouses, the whole morning had passed.

As the sun got higher, the greenhouse became even hotter and stuffier. Everyone climbed up the ladder in an orderly manner and covered the roof with woven straw mats.

The gaps in the straw mat are large enough to let in sunlight without being too scorching.

The doors on all sides are also opened for ventilation, allowing the air to circulate, which is much better for the plants.

But it is summer and it is very hot. It is very hard for everyone to work in such an environment.

Take Murong Jiu for example. It was only the morning and his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Not to mention the farmers who have been guarding here all day long.

Murong Jiu also said that there was no need for everyone to watch all the time, and that it would be enough to send more people to patrol a few times to ensure that there were no abnormalities with the crops.

However, Jingniang was very persistent, saying that the seeds of these crops were hard to come by, and some were very fragile, so they needed constant attention and needed to be recorded every day for easy reference in the future and for timely correction after mistakes.

"My lady, you have sweated too much today. You need to change into clean clothes, otherwise the clothes will stick to your body and it will be very uncomfortable."

Jingniang turned to look at Hongyi: "Miss Hongyi, did you bring some clean clothes for the queen?"

Hong Yi smiled and said, "I brought it. Jing Sinong should also change into something, lest you catch a cold from the wind."

Jingniang smiled and said, "I used to have a lot of illnesses, big and small. Every time I washed my hair and took a bath, if I didn't dry myself in time, I would catch a cold if I was exposed to a little wind. I would feel uncomfortable for a while. At that time, I always smelled like medicine."

"Yes, Jingniang's health has improved, and it's all thanks to you, my lady."

Chang Chonghai behind him also spoke.

"Oh? Thanks to me?"

"Yes! If you hadn't taken good care of Jingniang's body, she wouldn't be able to do her current job. Ever since she became the female minister of agriculture, she has been walking around every day, which is like exercising. Once her body is healthy, it is not easy for evil cold to enter the body. Just like my body, I can take a cold bath in the middle of winter without any problem."

Murong Jiu smiled and said, "That's true, but Jingniang has become quite tanned."

"Black means healthy. I think Jingniang is doing well now. After she started working as the Minister of Agriculture, she felt like she had been injected with chicken blood. She was full of energy and it was as if she had found her life's goal. Especially when she saw her name on the agricultural book, she cried so hard that both pillows were wet."

Jingniang was so embarrassed that she came over to hit Chang Chonghai, "Why do you tell everything to others? Was I crying? I was happy!" "Hehehe, yes, I was happy!"

Chang Chonghai was also happy when being beaten by his wife. He was a tall and strong man, but he looked quite naive.

Murong Jiu also laughed.

so good.

Women should not be confined to the house. Look at this world, there are many places that need women.

Sometimes, people just need to pursue, need goals, and need to find their own strengths and abilities.

Even though they all live the same life, some people live a mediocre life while others can live a wonderful life, make contributions and achieve success.

But is there anyone who is born to be mediocre?
That's not necessarily the case.

Women are not like men. In this world, if a family has some extra money, it is used to support the men's education. Women only have two options: working or getting married.

Don't they want to do what they like like Jingniang? Of course not.

They just can't touch anything outside their sight.

From the very beginning, they were restricted by rules and regulations.

Therefore, Murong Jiu knew that there was still a long way to go. It was a fantasy to expect all girls to study at the current stage, but it might be possible in the future.

Only when the country is prosperous and the people have no worries about food and clothing will they have extra energy to study and make progress, right?
Murong Jiu smiled and patted Jingniang's shoulder.

"Jingniang, you are great. As a woman, your ability is no less than that of other male Si Nong. I know you may sometimes encounter men who discriminate against women, but don't worry about it. One day in the future, perhaps women will be no worse than men."

Jingniang's eyes became red as she listened.

Nowadays, with the increase in various types of planting, seed preservation, seedling cultivation, etc., a lot of manpower is needed, so she naturally encountered those disdainful men.

But she never felt wronged, because she knew that the person behind her was the Queen. Both the Queen and the Emperor admired her and gave her the same rights as men, so she had to complete the Queen and the Emperor's tasks more perfectly than men.

She also didn't feel wronged now. She was just touched. She was touched that the queen would say such heartfelt words to her despite her busy schedule.

"My lady, I will definitely not let you down!"

Murong Jiu shook his head: "No, I'm not trying to cheer you up. On the contrary, I don't want you to work too hard. You've lost a lot of weight since the last time we met. This kind of environment can easily cause a poor appetite. If it continues for a long time, it will have an impact on your body, so I hope you don't have to do everything yourself."

"But I'm worried about some of the seedlings..."

"You can recruit people, recruit women. Women will be more careful in taking care of and recording, and they will grow up quickly under your guidance. You are excellent in ability, so you can train more excellent Si Nong like you and increase the strength of women, right?"

Jingniang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, she can recruit people, so that the female Si Nong can compete with the male Si Nong.

Then, there will be no more discrimination.

In the future, more women will join the ranks of farming.

When you really get in touch with it, you will find that food is the first necessity of the people is not just a few words, but the foundation of the country.

Murong Jiu smiled and said, "When you have enough time, I have a more important breeding plan for you."
