Quickly wear a life of peace

Three years later, although the bandits robbed less and lived less comfortably than before, they were still alive and well.

Dongfang Ye was not very satisfied with her, so he recalled the eldest princess and also recalled the second princess.

In the main hall, Dongfang Ye looked at his two daughters who had matured a lot, and compared them with the three troublesome daughters at home, and he finally smiled.

During the Chinese New Year, Dongfang Ye asked the emperor to hold a banquet and invite all the boys of marriageable age in the capital to come and meet the eldest and second princesses.

After they get married, the marriage of the Third Princess and Song Zhaoci should also be put on the agenda.

Since they were planning to hold a wedding for the Third Princess and Song Zhaoci, it would be inappropriate for Song Zhaoci to continue living in Dongwu Kingdom, so they sent the Third Princess to escort him back to Yunze Kingdom.

The journey was not smooth as he was attacked by many spies and assassinations.

Dongfang Ye had anticipated this, so the guards he provided them with included both visible and hidden guards.

It took the loss of a lot of manpower to allow the Third Princess to return safely.

At this time, the eldest princess and the second princess finally chose the candidate for the principal wife in a series of banquets.

The eldest princess’s husband is Lu Wenhua, the youngest son of the Minister of Justice.

The second princess’s husband is Zhao Chenxi, the eldest grandson of the Minister of Revenue.

They are all candidates that make them dissatisfied.

Dongfang Ye eventually followed her mother's path and began to be wary of her own daughter.

Dongfang Ye didn't care about his concubine and maids, and let them fend for themselves.

The eldest princess and her two brothers did not dare to go against Emperor Dongfang Ye, and honestly chose a family with an ordinary family background.

The third princess returned just in time for the end of the banquet. Although she and her father both wanted to choose a son of a noble family as their concubine, in order to give respect to Song Zhaoci, they finally held back and did not choose a concubine.

The fourth princess is a little too old, so she has no chance.

After the New Year, people still need to be sent to the front line and the bandit suppression must continue.

The eldest and second princesses are preparing for their wedding, so they can't go.

No matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only stay in the capital.

So the third princess, who was not getting married yet, went to the border town, and the fourth prince was responsible for suppressing the bandits.

Duoduo was also taken by her teacher Li Qing to travel with the four princesses to experience the sufferings of the people.

This world is not developing very fast, and there are no sweet potatoes or corn.

People grow wheat, rice, various beans, sorghum, millet, etc., but the yield is not high.

Ordinary people were still in a state of not having enough to eat but not starving, and selling children was a normal thing, which was no different from ordinary ancient society.

The capital of Dongwu Kingdom was in the north, and they were heading south.

The weather in the south warmed up early, and farming has already begun in some places.

Xuanyunduo looked at their farm tools and realized that there was indeed a reason for their low efficiency.

Duoduo, a science expert, immediately drew a blueprint for the improved farm tools and asked craftsmen to make them and let the farmers try them out.

The craftsmen that Duoduo used to employ were taken away by Dongfang Ye, and this group of craftsmen were recruited by her later.

After several years of practice, the results are very good and I can understand what Duoduo means.

The product was made quickly, but crops are the lifeblood of farmers, so they would not easily agree to let others conduct experiments.

In the end, Duoduo paid a high price and bought the land from a lazy family, allowing the experienced old farmer to try out the new farm tools.

Needless to say, the old farmer was so happy when he saw the results that he cried, "What a good thing! With this, I can plant five more acres of land. It's no worse than a plowing ox!"

The onlookers also sighed and marveled at the efficiency of the new farm tools.

Some people with wealthy families came to inquire about the price.

Duoduo asked someone to calculate the cost, added 10% and reported it.

Pure wood is the cheapest, but not durable and the price is affordable for the general public.

If you don't care about aesthetics, you can ask a village carpenter to make it, and the price will be cheaper.

The iron-clad ones are a bit more expensive, but most people can afford them if they grit their teeth.

The last type is made of pure iron. This type is not sold but only rented. The price is affordable, but a high deposit is required.

Salt and iron are both controlled items and are not allowed to be sold in large quantities.

Xuanyundu gave the blueprints to the Fourth Princess and asked her to send them back to the capital to be handled by the Queen Mother.

Afterwards, I said goodbye to the four princesses and followed the teacher on a tour.

They were gone for five years, traveling all over the country. Many of the pumpkin seeds they scattered had already been discovered.

This man also received rewards sent by the emperor, including fertile land and money.

These properties were not exploited by officials and the amount was considerable.

Nowadays, pumpkins have been widely promoted. Pumpkins are planted in the front yards and backyards of every household in Tobu Province and in the fields, improving the living standards of many people.

Most importantly, the treasury of Dongwu State gradually became abundant and could support the border war.

Dongfang Ye naturally would not do this. The country still needs to recuperate, and so do the people.

Duoduo came back this time because the Fourth Princess's marriage was also settled.

The third princess will also marry Song Zhaoci, the prince of Yunze Kingdom, this year. After her marriage, the fourth princess will also marry her own husband, who is the second son of Yongwu Marquis and Lin Ze’s younger brother Lin Han.

The fourth princess had successfully suppressed the bandits last year and returned to the capital. There were no more powerful bandits in Dongwu. Occasionally, there were a few robbers who dared not say they were bandits, for fear that the fourth princess, the killer, would lead troops to suppress them.

Although five years have passed, there have been no major wars on the border. The Northern Yan Kingdom occasionally sends troops to harass, but these are all minor frictions.

Dongfang Ye agreed to the Third Princess's proposal for counterattack, but the result was not ideal.

The Third Princess was not good at leading troops in battle, and several surprise attacks were not very effective. If it weren't for the high combat power of the Dongwu soldiers and the capable generals, the country would have suffered heavy losses.

When Dongfang Ye learned what had happened, he became furious and called the person back.

The eldest princess had already given birth to her eldest son and wanted to return to the border to gain military merit, but was rejected by Dongfang Ye.

The second princess also gave birth to the eldest son and daughter, and she also studied military tactics on weekdays. She also wanted to go to the border, but Dongfang Ye was not satisfied with her performance and also rejected it.

The Yunze Kingdom and the Yulan Kingdom were living in peace, and the two countries seemed to be keeping to themselves.

Dongfang Ye once suspected that this was a siege by the three countries against him, but two of them were attacking from the front while one was disintegrating from within.

This suspicion became even more certain for her after Song Zhaoci married into the family.

After Song Zhaoci married the third princess, although they did not go out often, the third princess became obviously more active.

His ways of doing things were also different from before. Not only was he friendly to his sisters, he also maintained friendly relations with many ministers, acting like a wise king.

Moreover, he became more and more methodical in his work. After he went to the Agriculture Department, he not only urged everyone to cultivate the original crops carefully, but also

They were particularly attentive to the newly discovered pumpkins and chose the best fertile fields for planting them.
