Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

First, he openly conferred the title of empress on his queen, had her enter the palace through the Noon Gate, and gave her all the respect, making her officially the mother of a country. Zhou Qingyun was not fond of matters between men and women, so he only had one principal wife and two concubines around him.

He did not give his concubine a too high status, but directly gave her the title of imperial concubine, and asked the empress to arrange a palace for her to live in. Then he canonized his sister Jia Jia as Princess Huiyi and raised her under the empress's care. His backyard was taken care of. There were only two or three little cats, and his concubines were not worthy of his trouble, so he directly carried them into the palace in a sedan chair. After all, An Yuxiu was his wife, and Zhou Qingyun gave her all the dignity she deserved.

Just when Zhou Qingyun had almost finished arranging things on his side, after all, the new emperor ascended the throne, the old ministers and those people with ulterior motives were directly dealt with, and his own people were placed in important positions. Then he received news from the distant Jizhou City. At this moment, City Lord Yu and his wife, who had come to the capital to pay their respects, also returned early. After all, the emperor's mourning period lasted one day instead of one year. City Lord Yu didn't like the intrigues in Jinling City, so naturally he returned early.

Gu Wanyue, with her five-month-old belly, was standing by the field, watching the old farmers in the field harvesting the crops. These were upland rice and wheat, and the harvest had already begun.

At this moment, the bundles of wheat were harvested from the fields, and the golden corn cobs were placed into baskets one by one and slowly carried out. Just by looking at the size of the corn cobs, one could tell that the yield this time was definitely not low.

At this time, only about one acre of land had been harvested, but the grain produced made the old farmers who were harvesting the land tremble with fear. If they had not harvested it themselves, they would probably have thought that the employer was cheating them.

It is good enough if this acre of land can produce two dan of grains, and one dan of grains is about 120 kilograms, and two dans is only about 240 kilograms.

After deducting the grain paid for taxes, the output of one acre of land is about one hundred kilograms of grain. But now they are bending over to cut these crops, and they roughly estimate that one acre of land can produce at least five to eight jin of grain. This is at least three or four times more. This makes them dizzy and they almost dare not calculate.

Not to mention the golden corn. Although its yield used to be higher than that of fine grains such as wheat, it was not as high as this.

In the past, the corn cobs were no bigger than their palms, and were full of holes. There were not many corn kernels on a cob. But now the corn is actually bigger than their palms, and each kernel is full. The plump corn kernels make them love it so much.

This surprised them beyond words, and even when they were harvesting, their hands began to tremble. Given the current situation, how could they not know the future situation? If all the crops were planted with this kind of food, they would not be hungry anymore.

If it can be directly promoted, it means that if they continue to engage in production in the future, there may be no more people starving to death, and they may even become wealthy. Their children will be able to go to school, and maybe they will be able to change their family situation in the future.

And there was also the thing buried underground, whose yield was even more astonishing, with a yield of two to three thousand kilograms per acre of land, which was simply enough to scare them to death. That's right, before they harvested the wheat and corn, they first dug up all the sweet potatoes and potatoes. At first they thought the seedlings had no fruits and that the owner had been cheated. They were secretly anxious for a long time, fearing that the owner would be angry, but the fruits were underground.

These things have high yields and can give people a greater sense of fullness. Because Wang Shiyu and the others were not too harsh on these tenants, they allowed them to take some home and eat them directly. After they boiled one in water and ate it, they could feel full. You know, before, even if they drank two bowls of porridge, they would not feel so full, and even drinking porridge could only fill them up with water.

But now, just a palm-sized sweet potato is enough to fill them up, and they even feel full for the first time in a long time, not to mention their father-in-law, City Lord Yu, who has been squatting in the field and refusing to leave. He is now studying the food in the field.

When it was time to harvest the remaining crops, everyone came to help with great energy. The harvested grain did not disappoint them, the high yield almost frightened them. The yield was reported back to Jinling, and Zhou Qingyun also knew about it. It could not be kept secret, not to mention that Zhou Qingyun's people were around them. The father-in-law did not hide it at all, but sent a message to Zhou Qingyun.

Zhou Qingyun had finally finished the old emperor's funeral and dealt with his concubines, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could even finish his sigh of relief, he was annoyed to death by the remaining people urging him to add more concubines to his harem and have children. As soon as the old emperor died, these people started to commit suicide.

So he had no choice but to discuss it with his queen and start the beauty pageant directly. After all, it was these old ministers who urged him to do so. If the old emperor was angry, he could just talk to these people in the evening.

While he was still thinking about how to deal with those local princes who had rebellious intentions, the secret guards he arranged to monitor Wang Shiyu directly reported the extremely high yield of grain to him, as well as the news from City Lord Yu. After seeing this secret letter, he fell into silence and reflection.

At this time he finally remembered that before he left Jizhou City, Wang Shiyu once said that she had something very good for him. If he could remain true to his original intention, these things would be given to him directly so that he could use them to stabilize his country.

But since he came back to Jinling City, he has changed completely, which has led to him and Wang Shiyu drifting further and further apart. Naturally, he has forgotten what Wang Shiyu said before. After all, Wang Shiyu is just a weak woman, how can she have any strategies to stabilize the country? As a result, now...................................................
