Qinghe nodded slightly:

"Brother Pang is right. In order to increase the amount of land reclaimed by farmers, my breeding farm will provide oxen for everyone. Each village will be provided with two oxen and two plows to help the villagers reclaim wasteland. The purchase cost of the oxen and plows will be repaid after the autumn harvest.

Brother Pang can have someone do a count to see how many villages want it. Once it’s determined, give me a number and come to me to get it.”

Pang Ziqian asked in surprise: "Really? You can provide both oxen and plows? That's great."

Qinghe smiled and nodded in confirmation:

"Of course it's true. Years ago, when we went to Turkic, we bought horses and oxen from the Turkic prince.

This time they can be sold to the people of Tailai County. These oxen have good physical fitness and can be used for reclaiming wasteland and cultivating. They can also be used in passenger transport fleets to earn fares during their spare time.

In this way, the people can live a smoother life. "

Pang Ziqian said quickly:

"Then I will arrange for someone to count the number of oxen and plows needed by each village and give you an answer as soon as possible.

With these efforts, this year’s wasteland reclamation will surely make great progress, and the area planted with new crops will also increase significantly.”

Baili Ye added:

“Not only that, if any technical difficulties or other emergencies are encountered during the planting of new crops, the county government must promptly organize personnel to resolve and deal with them.

Special agricultural consultation points can be set up, with experienced farmers or people who understand agricultural knowledge on duty to answer farmers' questions at any time."

The county magistrate thought for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty is right. We can also organize agricultural technology exchange activities for farmers on a regular basis, so that those farmers who have experience in planting new crops can share their experiences, learn from each other, and jointly improve their planting level."

Qinghe's eyes lit up:

“This is a good idea, which can motivate farmers and create a good atmosphere for agricultural production.

In addition, we can give certain rewards to farmers who perform well in planting new crops and have high yields, such as some high-quality agricultural tools or daily necessities, to encourage more farmers to plant with care.”

Pang Ziqian nodded:

"This reward method is very good. It can not only motivate farmers, but also serve as a model. I will formulate the details and standards of the reward as soon as possible and let the farmers know."

Qinghe smiled and said:

"Brother Pang, we have planted a lot of crops this year, so we need to keep up with the fertilizers in the fields. I have several methods for making fertilizers. You can arrange for people to hand them over to the people in various villages and towns to increase the yield of crops."

After saying that, Qinghe handed a piece of paper to Pang Ziqian.

Pang Ziqian took it and saw on the quality inspection paper the method of making fertilizer: fermented manure, green manure, wood ash, and compost.

Pang Ziqian read it out loud as he looked at it. After reading it, he said happily:

"Sister, these methods of making fertilizers are very practical.

If it can be promoted throughout the county, the soil fertility will be greatly improved and crops will have sufficient nutrients to thrive.

I will now arrange for people to teach these methods in detail to the people in each village and town so that everyone can master them.

With good seeds, powerful oxen and farm tools, plus sufficient and high-quality fertilizers, Tailai County’s agricultural harvest this year is firmly guaranteed!”

After saying this, Pang Ziqian bowed to Qinghe solemnly and said, "Sister, Ziqian would like to thank you and King Chen on behalf of the people of Tailai County."

The county magistrate, the county lieutenant and the clerk also bowed deeply to Qinghe and Baili Ye.

Qing He hurried forward to help Pang Ziqian up, and said with a smile:

"Brother Pang, don't be so polite. The prince and I care about the people and only hope to seek welfare for everyone. These are just our duties."

Baili Ye also nodded slightly, his expression gentle but firm:

“Everyone, please stand up. We are all for the development of Tailai County. We should work together to overcome the difficulties.

When autumn comes and the fields are full of grain, the granaries are full, and the people are smiling, then the work will be accomplished.”

Everyone stood up, and Pang Ziqian said:

“The people will surely remember the kindness of the prince and princess.

We will do our best to live up to your trust.

Next, I will arrange for people to prepare for the production of fertilizers, and select a few villages as demonstrations so that the villagers can practice as soon as possible. "
