Chapter 102 Planting Sweet Potatoes
The affairs of the medical school and the college came to an end.
It is now mid-March, spring is in full swing, and good news has come from the sweet potato germination work supervised by Yuan Ying. The sweet potato seedlings that have been carefully cared for in the high-temperature straw shed have now grown vigorously and are lush and green, and are fully ready for transplanting and planting.
In the court, Emperor Kang Ren specifically asked Yuan Ying: "My dear Yuan, how is the progress of my sweet potato cultivation?"
Yuan Ying bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, the sweet potatoes have lived up to your expectations. They have sprouted out of the soil and are full of vitality. They can be transplanted to the fields and planted throughout the country in the near future."
Emperor Kangren was delighted when he heard this and said with a smile, "Okay, I will definitely go to the fields and witness the splendor of the sweet potatoes with my own eyes."
When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court were surprised and looked at each other in surprise: The emperor was so concerned about the cultivation of sweet potatoes that he wanted to inspect it personally.
Emperor Kangren not only went there in person, but also brought his sons, daughters and concubines with him to share the joy of the countryside. He also ordered that all officials above the third rank must bring their families to plant sweet potatoes to show his great grace and to share the joy with the people.
After Emperor Kang Ren decided to inspect the sweet potato fields in person, the government and the public took quick action and preparatory work was in full swing.
A few days later, the sun shone gently on the earth. Emperor Kang Ren, wearing a dazzling yellow robe and a solemn imperial crown, slowly walked out from the depths of the imperial palace. Behind him followed the commander of the Imperial Guards, Song Yanshu. He stood tall and straight, like an iron tower, following closely behind Emperor Kang Ren.
The imperial sedan chair is solemn and luxurious, covered with a black canopy that sways gently in the wind, adding a touch of royal style.
Along the way, thousands of royal guards were on high alert, surrounding the royal manor in layers. Their bright armor and shining swords and spears looked even more majestic and awe-inspiring under the reflection of the brilliant sunlight.
Civil and military officials, their children and concubines followed closely behind him, forming a huge team. Surrounded by the crowd, Emperor Kang Ren slowly walked towards the farmland full of hope.
What caught the eye were patches of green sweet potato seedlings swaying gently in the breeze. Emperor Kang Ren looked at this vibrant scene and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.
At this time, Yuan Ying stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes are easy to grow. You just need to cut the vines and stick them into the soil. You can harvest them in a few months."
Emperor Kang Ren picked up a hoe himself, and under the guidance of Yuan Ying, he carefully planted the first sweet potato seedling.
A gentle smile appeared on Emperor Kang Ren's lips, and his eyes were shining with joy and anticipation that were difficult to conceal.
He spoke slowly, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty: "Pass on my order. All the people present will be divided into groups of ten and assigned farming tasks. I will see which group plants better and more, and I will reward them.
My dear ministers, these sweet potatoes are the hope of our Great Xia, and the foundation of our Great Xia. I hope you can all do your best and treat them with sincerity, and live up to my high expectations. "
When everyone heard this, they all looked embarrassed and disdained farm work, especially the concubines and princesses, who were full of disgust. However, due to the emperor's presence, they had to reluctantly agree.
Seeing this, Princess Anyang quickly ran to Yuan Ying and said anxiously: "Yuan Ying, Fifth Brother, I want to be in the same group with you." Before she finished speaking, Princess Hengyang on the side also hurried over and pleaded: "Anyang, I want to join you too."
Princess Anyang was unhappy. She and Hengyang didn't get along well on weekdays. Now she suddenly asked to be in the same group. She just wanted to take advantage of Yuan Ying's ability so that she could have some free time. So, she rolled her eyes coldly and didn't respond.
Seeing this, Princess Hengyang turned to Yuan Ying and pleaded, "Sir Yuan, can I join your group?"
Yuan Ying responded calmly and indifferently, "Of course, Princess Hengyang, please do as you wish."
Although she had never dealt with Princess Hengyang, she heard that she was the daughter of Concubine Su and had been spoiled since childhood. In such an occasion, Yuan Ying naturally could not show any disrespect and could only treat her with courtesy.
Princess Hengyang proudly raised her eyebrows towards Princess Anyang, with a spark of victory in her eyes.
The grouping was quickly settled, and Yuan Ying, Murong Xuanyi, Wei Ruchi, Princess Anyang, Princess Hengyang, Luo Huaian, Murong Xuanyu, Murong Xuanzhou, Dong Qingqing and Su Fei were gathered into a group.
The Prince's Party formed its own faction, followed closely by the Rui Wang Party, and the forces of the Yu Wang and the Prime Minister Wei were combined into one camp. There seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them, forming a clear division of camps.
Such a scene made Emperor Kang Ren frown and think secretly in his heart.
Next, each group elected a representative, and Yuan Ying taught them the techniques of cutting sweet potato seedlings and how to plant them in the soil. Yuan Ying explained each step in detail.
Song Yanshu set up a defensive formation all around, his eyes fixed firmly on Yuan Ying. He knew in his heart that from now on, he might only be able to protect her silently from afar in this way.
With the sound of a gong.
Everyone took action, and the originally quiet field was instantly filled with life and vigor.
Murong Xuanyi, Wei Ruchi Ze and Luo Huaian were responsible for digging the pits, while Concubine Su and Princess Hengyang were responsible for dividing the seedlings. Princess Anyang, Dong Qingqing, Murong Xuanyu and Murong Xuanzhou were responsible for planting.
Although they seemed clumsy, with Yuan Ying's encouragement, they tried hard to insert the sweet potato seedlings into the soil. The occasional mistakes caused laughter and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed and pleasant.
The other groups were not willing to lag behind and each became busy. The Prince's Party and the King Rui's Party were secretly competing with each other, both wanting to show off their talents in front of the Emperor.
Prince Ning and Prime Minister Wei both understand the essence of teamwork. The two parties have a tacit understanding and are naturally more efficient.
Wei Ruolan, her delicate hands were covered with dirt. She sat quietly, carefully brushing the dirt off her fingertips, and her eyes involuntarily drifted towards Murong Xuanyi, the feeling was subtle and indescribable. This scene happened to be seen by King Ning, and his face fell immediately.
During the break, Yuan Ying sat under the shade of a tree to rest. At this time, Concubine Su came over and said softly, "Master Yuan... Hua Qiansong, Mei Niang... are they all okay?"
Yuan Ying naturally knew her identity, and responded calmly: "My master is doing well, thank you for your concern, Madam."
She couldn't hold back her emotions after all, and after a moment's hesitation, she added, "My master once mentioned that he was grateful to Concubine Su for not marrying me back then."
After saying this, Yuan Ying walked away without looking back. He was really a hypocrite.
Su Fei stood there, her face turning pale and blue. She had not expected that her momentary emotion would lead to such a direct response.
Yuan Ying's team was originally set up to be a team of ten, but somehow, it naturally split into groups of two.
In the farmland, Princess Anyang is now covered in mud, but she doesn't care. She is still busy planting sweet potatoes, showing her tenacious working style.
Seeing this, Wei Ruchi approached gently and whispered softly, "Princess, go and have a rest. I can do this rough work alone."
Princess Anyang smiled when she heard this, like a flower blooming in spring. She said cheerfully, "It's OK. I don't feel tired. I enjoy farming with the people."
Wei Ruchi looked at her face, which was dotted with mud and looked like a little cat, and an indescribable tenderness welled up in his heart. He wanted to reach out and caress her several times, but he took into account the royal etiquette and finally suppressed the impulse.
Meanwhile, Dong Qingqing and Murong Xuanyu were having a unique sweet potato planting competition. Whenever Murong Xuanyu was one step ahead, Dong Qingqing would playfully grab a handful of soil and gently throw it at him as a protest against falling behind. The two of them were filled with laughter, adding some vitality to the farmland.
As for Murong Xuanyi, he naturally fought side by side with Yuan Ying.
But Princess Hengyang frequently "visited" him, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, to ask about the method of growing sweet potatoes. Although Yuan Ying felt helpless, he had to patiently and carefully demonstrate and teach the princess how to grow sweet potatoes.
This heartwarming and slightly humorous scene happened to catch the eyes of Emperor Kang Ren, causing the corners of his mouth to slightly raise, and he secretly approved in his heart.
