Chapter 162 General Ma Wants to Put on a Sack
The transporter looked at the two buckets of water on the carriage in great surprise.
"Xiao Liuzi, you said the prince specifically ordered to keep an eye on these two buckets of water, what's the point of that?"
"Who knows? Even if there is a water shortage, these two buckets are not enough."
"And this water container is very strange, I have never seen it before."
"Shh, please keep your voices down. Those who talk about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind his back must want to die."
A dark-faced man, seeing how heatedly the people in front of him were talking, also spoke up: "I told you to guard it well, so just guard it well.
Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you think the water here is just ordinary water? Think about it carefully."
Several people responded quickly.
It’s just that everyone is a little curious in their hearts, because this looks like ordinary water no matter how you look at it.
I was curious because there were no impurities in the water and it didn't look like the water had been soaked with medicinal herbs.
But because the prince repeatedly warned them not to open it, they kept it very well guarded.
But no one knew that the ordinary water they were looking at would save the soldiers on the entire border a year later.
……
county house
Ever since Long Yuan sent the servants to the Su family, they moved in a hurry. After all, there was no way a small two-courtyard house could accommodate so many people.
Today is the day to harvest the sweet potatoes and potatoes that the Agricultural Service Department serves.
Su Muyao came later, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes she planted were later than those of the Agricultural Service Department, so they could be harvested later.
I received a letter from the palace early in the morning.
As soon as Su Muyao woke up in her boudoir, a maid came to report that the princess was invited to go and harvest the crops together.
"Xiao Xia, help me change my clothes. Let's go over now and don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."
"Princess, you should say this princess."
"Oh, Xiao Xia, you are so young but you are almost turning into a nagging old woman.
Isn't there anyone here? Let's go quickly."
Xiao Xia shook her head, feeling helpless towards her new master.
The little princess has four maids, each named Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. However, the four sisters have never been treated harshly by the little princess since they followed her.
They were already prepared. After all, a new official has three things to do when he takes office, and normally a new maid will be severely controlled and lectured by her master.
Usually, they even kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so everyone basically has to be more cautious when serving the new master.
I never thought that everyone in the little princess's family was so nice. The people in the family didn't beat or scold the maids like other families did.
All of them were very fortunate to be assigned to the Princess's Mansion.
Su Muyao dressed neatly, ate a quick breakfast and went out.
When I arrived at the palace gate, I found that Eunuch De had been waiting there for a long time.
"Meet the Little Princess"
"Get up!"
"Thank you, little princess. The emperor has already taken people there and asked this old servant to pick you up here."
Su Shuyao nodded and, under the guidance of Eunuch De, got on the carriage and headed towards the imperial garden.
It is called the Imperial Garden, but in fact it is a place with hundreds of acres of fine land.
When we got closer, we saw from afar that many people were already busy working in the fields.
When Su Muyao and Xiao Xia came to him, the emperor excitedly wanted to hug Su Muyao.
This frightened Su Muyao so much that she hid to the side and said, "Your Majesty, may the emperor be blessed with good health and happiness."
Although she is often hugged by her family, she doesn't want outsiders to hug her!
It would be fine if it was a handsome guy, but let’s forget about this old man in front of us (=_=)
The emperor seemed not to notice the little girl's disgusted expression and continued, "Oh, my, little princess, you don't have to bow to me from now on. Look at this little face, it's so pink and tender, it's so lovable at first sight."
When other officials saw what was happening here, they also came to pay their respects to the princess. Of course, the ministers didn't need to come, after all, they held official positions here.
"My dear, your brother Yuan has gone to the border to guard the frontier. If you miss him, you can send him a letter. Just leave the letter with the queen and let someone in the palace send it to you.
Come to the palace more often when you are free, the Queen misses you very much."
"Yes, I will go to see the Queen after a while."
"Oh, okay, I will tell the Queen when I go back. Your aunt the Queen will definitely be very happy, haha." The emperor was in a very good mood at this time. He was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw the little girl from the Su family.
At this time, a minister came to report, "Your Majesty, this acre of land has been completely dug out. Has it been weighed now?"
"Weigh it," the emperor said, and then he looked at the minister who came to report and ran back.
The next step was a simple weighing and calculation, and everything was done in less than half an hour.
Su Muyao also stood aside and watched.
Then the one who had gone back came back and said, "Your Majesty, the quantity has been weighed and it is 6520 jins."
All the ministers gasped when they heard this number.
Everyone knew that this acre of land would produce a lot of crops, but no one thought there would be more than 6000 kilograms.
"You said it was 6500 kilograms. Are you sure?" The emperor wanted to confirm it one last time.
The minister in front of him replied: "Your Majesty, I weighed it twice, and it was 6520 kilograms, no mistake."
"Okay, okay, Xiao Dezi, pass the order down and announce this good news to the world."
After Xiao Dezi left, the emperor looked at the mountain of sweet potatoes in front of him with tears in his eyes.
Several ministers also had red eyes, because the people of the great dynasty had always been hungry.
Nowadays, we have such high-yield crops. Doesn’t that mean that the people of the great dynasty will never have to go hungry again in the future!
"Okay, okay, the princess is truly the lucky star of the dynasty."
The emperor stretched out his hand and then retracted it. He knew that the little girl didn't like to be hugged by outsiders, so he decided not to make her unhappy.
If she makes me cry, I don’t know how to comfort her.
I had only heard about it before, but now when I see these piles of crops lying naked in front of me, I feel really excited.
After all, what you hear is one thing, and what you see is another.
Think about it, even if there is no drought, the normal tax revenue per acre of land is only three to five hundred kilograms.
Nowadays, I wonder how many acres of rice this acre of sweet potatoes can match.
“All the crops from these 100 acres of land will be kept as seeds and distributed.
Don’t waste it. Let the people in the Agricultural Department take full responsibility for this matter. If there is any damage or corruption, they will be beheaded.”
"Yes." The Minister of Agriculture felt cold sweat on his head, and it can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to these crops.
All the potatoes in the other acre of land were soon turned out.
After weighing, there were 3600 kilograms of potatoes, which was another round of critical blow to the emperor.
All the ministers looked at the crops in front of them, and everyone was rubbing their hands. Many ministers who did not care about their image had already gone down and were digging and pulling frantically.
Some people surrounded Su Muyao, ready to make a move.
In particular, General Ma of Zhenbei Prefecture's eyes changed again and again when he looked at Su Muyao.
He and his wife had always liked daughters, but their family had given birth to seven naughty boys in a row. Now, looking at such a soft and tender girl, they wanted to put her in a sack and take her home.
