Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The Nian family tried to suppress the Cao family, but fortunately Jiang Chen acted in time to protect the Cao family. This incident did not cause any waves on the surface, but everyone who knew about it knew that Nian Shilan and Cao Qinmo would never unite again.

It was extremely difficult for Jiang Chen to take a step forward in his busy schedule. He was leading Honghui, Hongxi and Hongshi to try out the latest corn cultivation method in the fields. Of course, the three princes were just here to learn, and Jiang Chen was the one who was really in charge of the overall situation. There was nothing that could be done about it. Kangxi had many sons, and even the favored Seventeenth Prince did not have a proper job, let alone his grandchildren.

So she had to trouble Jiang Chen and take time out to take care of the children. Speaking of children, the youngest Hongshi was already fifteen years old, and Honghui, who was six years older than him, and his wife both had a son and a daughter. The oldest Hongxi was twenty-five this year and didn't have a proper job, so he could only learn some practical skills from Jiang Chen.

Hongshi followed Jiang Chen and harvested soybeans. He couldn't help but straighten up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Jiang Chen, "Uncle, is it useful to plant soybeans before planting corn?"

Jiang Chen looked helplessly at the dirt on Hongshi's face, handed him a handkerchief, asked him to wipe his face carefully, and explained, "This was discovered by the Ningguta criminals. The yield of corn will increase if the land that has been planted with soybeans is planted again. Since there is hope for increased production, we must do our best in every aspect."

In fact, the discovery might have been made in other places as well, but Ningguta was bitterly cold, and this subtle discovery might be the hope of getting his sentence reduced and returning to Beijing, so only the people in Ningguta noticed it and reported the experiment. Coupled with the time for cultivating cold-resistant and early-maturing spring-sown soybeans, Jiang Chen made this year's new attempt.

Honghui felt sorry for his brother, "If Hongshi is tired, go back to the field and drink some cooling tea to rest."

Hong Xi snorted disdainfully, "He's already this old. If he can't even do this little farm work, there's no point in him doing anything else."

Hongshi was tempted to take a break, but after hearing what Hongxi said, he held his breath and continued to harvest soybeans. Seeing Hongshi's quick movements, Hongxi also continued to harvest. Jiang Chen and Honghui looked at each other with amusement and also bent down to work.

After harvesting soybeans, they planted corn. Even Hongxi, who was reluctant to go to the fields at first, couldn't help but worry, "It's already July. Can the corn we plant now have a good harvest?"

Jiang Chen looked at the vast farmland and replied, "I don't know either."

Hong Xi couldn't help but be surprised. He thought that a person like Jiang Chen, who never showed his emotions, must be confident before doing anything. He didn't expect Jiang Chen to say that he didn't know.

Jiang Chen patted Hong Xi on the shoulder and said, "It's not that easy to grow high-yield crops. It's hard to rely on the weather for food!"

Hongshi scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "If I hadn't worked in the fields with my uncle, I would have really believed that my uncle was just like what was said in the storybook, blessed by God, and could get good seeds just by walking around."

People have never heard of Jiang Chen's story, but the Chen family's story of promoting sweet potatoes has also been known. As more people know about it, some people are jealous and say that Jiang Chen is just lucky. Why has the corn he discovered not made any progress? Jiang Chen has also heard of these criticisms, but he just laughed it off. He is not cultivating good varieties for fame and fortune.

Honghui thought more deeply. He sighed and said, "If you want to get a high yield of corn, you really can't be careless at all. Whether it's the soybean variety planted in the front or the fertilizer used for corn in the back, which one doesn't need someone who knows how to guide it? How can ordinary people have such conditions?"

Jiang Chen also patted Honghui and said firmly, "If it works, then promote soybeans throughout the country. As for fertilizers, don't underestimate the wisdom of the people. When it comes to their livelihood, they will be more flexible than you think! Besides, is the Agricultural Affairs Department set up by the court just for free?"

Ever since the people in the Agriculture Department got the job of promoting sweet potatoes, they have changed their previous lethargy. This kind of thing that will go down in history is really better done by luck than by good luck. Now the doctors in the Agriculture Department walk with the wind.

Jiang Chen was determined to cultivate corn, but he couldn't help feeling anxious when he was alone. It was not for anything else, but because of the news Yixiu had passed on to him. She said that if possible, he should try to submit the results to the emperor before October.

It’s not that Yixiu is trying to make things difficult for others, but October of the 59th year is a critical juncture, and now she has to increase Honghui’s bargaining chips step by step.

Besides, Jiang Chen has exhausted everything he can do in cultivating corn so far. The only thing left is luck, and Yixiu can make up for this little bit of luck.

She called up the screen that she hadn't used for a long time and filled in 180,000 taels of silver. Yixiu couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart. She had filled in all the silver in her space, and she also used up a lot of cash on hand. If Yixiu hadn't stopped making money and saving money over the years, she really wouldn't be able to afford it.

By the end of September, the golden corn was harvested, and Honghui, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but tremble in his hands.

"Is this a dream?" Hongshi, who was standing next to him, spoke out the thoughts of everyone present.

The Fourth Prince, who came with Jiang Chen to harvest, regained consciousness earlier. He asked the person who was counting the yield, "What's the average yield per mu?"

The person counting the numbers choked up and answered, "Seven hundred and sixty-eight kilograms!"

Although it is not as good as sweet potatoes, it is far more than rice and wheat. Including the 200 kilograms of soybean harvested from the previous supporting planting, the harvest from the land this year is really a lot.

The most important thing is that sweet potatoes were not included in the taxation because of the preservation problem when Emperor Kangxi turned a blind eye to it. Although it could allow the people to have enough food, tax-collecting grain still had to be planted. But with the combination of soybeans and corn, only soybeans needed to be used to pay taxes, and the corn could be used to fill the family's stomachs!

How wonderful! How wonderful!

The farmers present couldn't help but wipe their tears with their sleeves. Honghui couldn't help but shed tears in this atmosphere. He said to the Fourth Prince, "Father, now I know how difficult farming is."

The Fourth Prince said with relief, "Every meal is hard-earned. Now that you can understand this truth, I can be considered as having someone to carry on my legacy."

When this matter was reported to Kangxi, he was stunned. He coughed several times before he recovered his breath and said with emotion, "Jiang Wangxuan really did it!"

During the first few years of corn planting, Kangxi often paid attention to it, but later he forgot about it when he saw that there was no improvement. Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen never gave up and was still trying his best to improve the varieties.

Kangxi was in a good mood and wanted to go to the farm to take a look, but his weak body prevented him from doing so. He coughed again and said calmly, "Send the corn to the palace so that I can take a look."
