Female-to-male: I live on farming

"Your Highness, the terraced fields in Miaojia Village have been basically built, and the waterwheel craftsman Zhang has also installed it. I would like to hold an opening ceremony in Miaojia Village."

In fact, it is not quite appropriate to call it an opening ceremony, but these are the terraces that were built by Qin Ke single-handedly. Seeing them completed, Qin Ke felt particularly proud and wanted to create a sense of ceremony.

However, due to limited conditions, the ceremony was very simple.

"Oh?" Jin Yang raised his eyebrows, feeling that Qin Ke had something to say next based on his expression.

Qin Ke smiled and said, "Your Highness, if you have nothing to do, you might as well go and participate. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. If Your Highness goes, it will definitely increase the enthusiasm of the people for spring ploughing."

Jinyang was surprised at what Qin Ke said. After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

Of course she knew that Qin Ke's move would be of great benefit to her and would not cause any harm. If she went to the scene in person, she would surely win the support of the people.

"Didn't Your Highness ask the Ministry of Works to rush to make a lot of curved plows? Why not give them to them in person tomorrow?"

"Everything is as you said."

In order to create a festive atmosphere, Qin Ke asked Lei Zhong to go to the fabric store to buy a piece of red cloth, and specially tied a bow with the red cloth on the curved plow that would be given to them tomorrow.

When the chief of Miaojia Village heard that Qin Sinong was going to hold a ceremony in their village for the first terraced field of Dayan Dynasty, he attached great importance to it and specifically told the villagers to wash themselves and change into cleaner clothes.

At daybreak, the villagers had a simple breakfast and then gathered in the square of Miao Village to welcome Qin Sinong.

In the past half month, they have become quite familiar with Qin Sinong. They have a very good impression of this Qin Sinong who is not arrogant and usually has a pleasant face. Especially the children in the village, they particularly like Qin Ke, who has a pretty face and often treats them to many delicious foods they have never tasted before.

However, as they looked at the phoenix carriage approaching from afar, they couldn't help but lower their heads and whisper to each other.

"It seems that Qin Sinong is not the only one coming?"

"I have seen the carriage behind. It is the carriage of our county magistrate Zhu."

"Hey, what's that particularly luxurious-looking carriage in front?"

Unfortunately, the villagers were limited in knowledge and did not recognize the bright yellow tassels that could only be worn on the carriages of royal relatives and nobles.

They saw that both Qin Sinong and Zhu County Magistrate were waiting respectfully beside the carriage until the attendant brought down the elegant and graceful woman from the carriage.

The woman was wearing a vermilion round-necked phoenix gown with wide sleeves and a large hem. The surface was as silky as silk, and the edging of the sleeves was inlaid with a nine-day phoenix inlaid with gold and jade threads.

Even if the villagers were ignorant, they would recognize the phoenix embroidered on the woman's sleeves. The only one who dared to use the phoenix pattern and appeared in Liangzhou was Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The village chief was the first to react and was the first to kneel down and salute.

When the other villagers saw this, they also reacted and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

"Stand up, I heard that you have been working all night to build the terraces. It's really hard. Now that the terraces are completed, I want to come and see them."

"I am terrified, and all this is thanks to Your Highness." The village chief's voice was trembling with nervousness.

Not to mention the other villagers. Some of them had only seen the highest official, who was the magistrate of their Taiyuan County. But now, seeing Her Royal Highness the Princess, they were so nervous that they couldn't even walk.

"Your Highness, please come this way."

Qin Ke led the way for the princess, while the county magistrate and the village chief followed tremblingly behind.

Nearing the river, Jinyang saw the waterwheel standing on the river from afar. The waterwheel was very large, more than two meters high, and was extremely conspicuous on the clear river.

After everyone stood still, Jin Yang waved his hand and said, "Let's start."

Qin Ke pulled out the bamboo pole that was stuck in the waterwheel. The next second, the huge wooden wheel slowly turned under the push of the water flow. The buckets on the waterwheel scooped up the clear stream water one by one and then poured the water into the pipe.

As the waterwheel turned, making a creaking sound, everyone saw the water flowing through the bamboo pipe into the canal in the terraced fields.

"It's a divine thing!"

“It’s simply ingenious!”

The praises are endless.

Jinyang's usually calm and dignified face also showed a hint of satisfaction.

Several people walked along the stream towards the terraced fields, and saw fields spread out like stairs between the mountains. The hills undulated like ripples, outlining the beautiful mountain peaks. The well-arranged stairs stretched up to the sky layer by layer.

"Your Highness, water wheels can lift groundwater or river water to irrigation channels, improving the yield and quality of farmland." Qin Ke led her to the terraced fields and introduced: "In addition to increasing the cultivated area, these terraced fields can also intercept rainwater when it rains, increase soil moisture, prevent soil erosion, and achieve the purpose of conserving water, soil, and fertilizer. They are very suitable for growing rice."

Jinyang looked at the layers of terraced fields in front of him. Although the statistical data on the fields has not yet come out, just by visual inspection, he can see that the cultivated area of ​​the terraced fields is much larger than their original planting area.

"Great kindness."

Jinyang is very satisfied, and Taiyuan granary will surely have a good harvest in terms of tax revenue this year.

But the happiest people are the villagers of Miao Village. Those are their fields and the foundation of their livelihood. With these fields, they no longer have to endure hunger.

After completing the inspection, the group returned to the square of Miao Village.

"You have worked hard in recent days. I have ordered the Ministry of Works to make a curved plow for Miaojia Village and give it to you." Jinyang's face was calm and he waved his hand behind him.

The guards behind him carried up a brand new curved plow tied with red silk.

The village chief was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He knew that in the entire Taiyuan County, only the county government had such a curved plow, and now their village also had one.

"I hope that you will redouble your efforts during the upcoming spring plowing season. Food is the foundation of people's livelihood and also the foundation of our Liangzhou. I promise that your efforts will be rewarded, and one day, your lives will be prosperous." Her voice was soft and gentle, but powerful.

Hearing this, the villagers of Miao Village were excited and full of energy.

"Long live Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

No one knew who started it, but it soon spread throughout the village like a plague.

For a moment, the shouts like a tsunami resounded through the sky, deafening.

People knelt on their knees and paid homage to the almighty Princess with the most pious and respectful attitude, their eyes full of awe and fanaticism.

Her Royal Highness the Princess stood quietly in the front, her posture as straight as a pine tree and her temperament as elegant as an orchid.

Qin Ke listened to the shouts that echoed throughout the village, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. At this moment, no one could shake the people's hearts and minds that the eldest princess had won over, and she would sweep across the people with a devastating force.
