Reborn as the beloved of the crippled king

Chapter 559: It takes a long time to breathe
The breeding plan that Murong Jiu mentioned was exactly what Wang Yingluo had asked after she was infected with the Demon Sea Flower.

In their time, the reason for high grain yields, apart from pesticides and fertilizers, was most importantly breeding.

There is also a specialized agricultural university there.

The seeds will get better and better through breeding and improvement from generation to generation. In addition to high yield, the taste has also changed a lot.

Take the watermelon for example. Today’s watermelons have many seeds and, although sweet, they are not as sweet as those of later generations, nor are they red enough. After improvement and cultivation, they are now red, sweet, and getting bigger and bigger.

Some grains can even be hybridized.

These will take a long time to improve.

Murong Jiu felt that Jingniang was a very good candidate. She could form her team and focus on doing this.

Jingniang is careful and conscientious in her work and has the ability in this area, making her the best candidate at the moment.

In response to Jingniang's curious questioning, she told her plan.

When Jingniang heard this, she became very excited.

"I have read many agricultural books that talk about breeding and improvement, but the time span is too long. It takes spring, summer, autumn and winter, flowering and pollination, fruiting and seed retention, and improvement from generation to generation. The good seeds will be kept for further breeding and used as seeds for sowing. Unfortunately, few people have the patience to do this."

"Yes, with the change of dynasties and various wars, many people are still struggling for food. In the final analysis, it is because the times are not stable enough for farmers to focus on breeding and improving crops. But now, Dayan is stable, and everything is moving in a good direction. The court pays attention to it, and our agriculture will also develop in a good direction."

After hearing this, Jingniang nodded vigorously and said to Murong Jiu:

"Your Majesty, I will definitely work hard to do this well and will not let you and His Majesty down!"

Murong Jiu smiled and held her hand:
"Don't feel stressed. I believe you will do well, but this is a long process. We don't need to rush. One day, the land of Dayan will be full of fine seeds cultivated by you and your apprentices."

"Most definitely!"

Jingniang was full of fighting spirit and couldn't wait to start doing this.

But it is still midsummer now, so if we want to save seeds, we have to wait until autumn.

She felt that the most important thing for her at the moment was to listen to the Queen, form a team of agricultural workers led by her, have someone take over her current position, and then concentrate on the Queen's breeding business.

Even though it’s a long journey, there are new expectations.

This expectation concerns the people's livelihood of Dayan and the people of the world, and it is of extraordinary significance.

Even if she is unknown, she is willing to do something more meaningful.

Chang Chonghai saw a different kind of light in Jingniang's eyes. The light that burst out was really dazzling.

But he also has his "career", protecting His Majesty and His Majesty is beneficial to the country.

Only Your Majesty and Your Majesty are the foundation of Dayan.

The Queen had only allowed him to protect them for three years, but three years was not enough. Thirty years was not enough either. As long as he still had the strength, he would continue to protect them.

To protect them is to protect Jingniang's dream.

... "Hongyi, what do you want to do? Have you thought about it?"

After returning to the palace, Murong Jiu asked Hong Yi.

Hong Yi shook her head: "I used to think that living like Jingniang or Madam Lou, doing things that men can do but women can do as well, is wonderful. But now, I think it is best to be by your side. I can learn a lot of things. When I have accumulated enough, maybe I will have other plans."

Murong Jiu smiled and said, "Don't call me a slave all the time. Although Wang Yingluo's words about equality for all are empty words, I think this world does need equality. You don't have to put yourself in the position of a slave. You just need to put yourself in the position of a subordinate, or in an employment relationship, so that you are equal in personality."

"But this is too disrespectful to you. The maids and eunuchs below will only become more and more presumptuous. I don't think this self-proclaimed title is unequal, because the imperial power is supreme."

Hong Yi insisted.

She felt that strict rules were necessary, otherwise, even the royal family would not be taken seriously.

"So the laws need to be improved. Your Majesty is already revising the laws. Although it cannot be done overnight, over time, people will obey the laws more than the words of those in power."

Wang Yingluo always said that they were old feudal. The essence of feudalism is that people obey the powerful rather than the law.

In the long run, this is not good for the people.

People only live for a few decades. Now that Murong Jiu has become the queen of Dayan, her vision cannot be limited to the present.

If the royal family is abolished one day, what will happen to her descendants? They will simply be wiped out.

Just like the history of the past.

After the change of dynasties, few of the emperors' descendants survived. Even if there were, they lived in hiding and suffered terribly.

But if the imperial power is hollowed out and society can continue to function, then even if the royal family is just a mascot, it will not be abolished at will and can be passed down forever.

Just like what Wang Yingluo said, the royal families of other countries continue to survive to the present day.

However, this is not something that can be changed in a short period of time. What she and Jun Yuyan need to do is to pave the way for future generations.

The two of them are not like the emperors of the past because they know how future generations will develop. If they want to preserve their descendants, it may take them decades to do these things.

As her thoughts turned, she looked at Hong Yi and said with a smile, "Okay, when you want to change, you can change your mind. Don't worry, take your time. In the future, our Dayan will only get better and better. You just stand by my side and witness it with me. However, if you don't have any other plans now, then I want to give you an official title."

Hong Yi was surprised and asked, "You want to give me an official title? But, besides fighting, what else can I do?"

"I discovered that you have the talent to train soldiers. I will appoint you as the head of the female imperial guards in the palace, with the official title of deputy commander, and your position will be only below Su Kai. What do you think?"

Hong Yi was extremely shocked: "Your Majesty, do you mean to form a team of female imperial guards in the palace?"

"Yes, I have had this idea for a long time. The border is stable now, but sooner or later there will be an enemy invasion. Commander Su Kaisu intends to go to the border for training, and he does have the talent of a general. Your Majesty and I are planning to have him garrison the border next year."

Hong Yi understood that the position of the commander of the Imperial Guards had become vacant, and she had the trust of the Empress and His Majesty.

"But, he is more suitable than me..."

Murong Jiu shook his head: "He has no ambition to achieve great things. He retired from the underworld in his early years. Now he only wants to protect His Majesty. But you are different. In my opinion, ambition is not a bad word. And I see your shining points in you. You dare to fight and do things. You will definitely be qualified for this position."

After hearing this, Hong Yi couldn't calm down for a long time.
