The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

The more the family of three talked about it, the more they felt that this was true, and they laughed more happily.

Steward Yang had a better idea. "Even if that woman didn't make a mistake, if His Majesty is really interested in her, that's even better! As long as she brings His Majesty here, with our daughter's beauty, she will definitely catch His Majesty's eye."

"Jiaojiao! I have nothing to do these days, so I'll dress up nicely and go for a walk around the farm."

"Or maybe you could quietly observe that woman and see what she has that has caught His Majesty's eye. Then you can learn a thing or two from her!"

The three of them became happier and happier as they talked, and they even imagined that in the future, the three of them would be in charge of the government.

Outside, Yang Danniu helped her mother up and looked at her bruised face, her eyes filled with hatred...

The days in Zhuangzi passed quickly. Without the oppressive palace walls, as soon as he opened the door, he would see the endless sky and earth. Looking further into the distance, he would see the high valley. He could even reach the river in half an hour's walk. This was why rice could be grown here.

Shen Chou was afraid that they would not be able to adapt to living here, so he decorated the farm in advance. It had everything you could need, even enough fruits and vegetables to last for several months.

There are also three dedicated chefs who, in addition to three meals a day, also prepare some cakes and soups.

The two female doctors in the palace also followed them. They would greet them and ask about their pulses, fearing that something might happen to them.

However, Yu Ruyue discovered that there was always a seductively dressed woman at the gate of the yard, wandering around the gate and peeking into the yard from time to time. If her eyes had not looked at the seeds at all, she would have really thought that this person was coming to steal the seeds.

After the rice sprouted, Wu Chang immediately brought people over, "Madam! The nursery field has been prepared as you said. Now all that's left is to sow the seeds."

Yu Ruyue nodded, "Okay! You must be careful when you do it later."

Wu Chang nodded, and then Yu Ruyue watched them spread the seeds evenly in the nursery field.

Because there was no greenhouse at that time, they took some straw to cover the nursery field to ensure the temperature of the nursery field.

Yu Ruyue and Liang Shulan also lent a hand to help, carefully covering the seedling field. Seeing this, Si Nong Shaoqing, who had just come to report, also hurried over to help.

After everyone had covered all the rice, Yu Ruyue took people to inspect the nearby rice fields.

She watched the farmers carrying buckets of water to the fields and asked curiously, "Why go to so much trouble? Why not just dig a canal?"

Wu Chang said with some difficulty, "We do want to dig a canal, but the terrain here is quite high, so digging a canal is a big project. Also, there's a small hill in the middle, and it's full of big rocks. No matter how hard we try, we can't get around it, and it won't get through."

"Even if we dig it up, the higher the ground gets, the harder it becomes."

"Manager Yang said that we should focus on the right things and endure some hardship, and not always think about those crooked ways to save effort."

"So everyone goes to the river to fetch water every day to ensure there is enough water in the paddy fields."

“Nowadays, we have to plant more paddy fields and carry water more often.”

"So, it's a little late to soak the ground."

Yu Ruyue looked at the skinny farmers' busy backs and the uneven soil in the fields and sighed deeply.

"At this rate, when will you be able to soak the ground thoroughly?"

"And after the ground is soaked, it needs to be plowed again and then leveled with wooden boards!"

Wu Chang lowered his head in shame, "This is the only stupid solution we can come up with."

The Shaoqing Si Nong standing next to him looked very young, probably in his 20s. He held a notebook in his hand and recorded Yu Ruyue's words all the time.

Yu Ruyue glanced at him and found that he was also full of worry. There was no good solution, so she sighed again.

Liang Shulan pulled her daughter's sleeve and said, "Let's go check out that little hill! It's such a high hill that makes people so worried."

Yu Ruyue nodded, and everyone walked to the front of the small hill. They found that the hill was not actually very high, only less than one meter. However, the hill seemed to be full of large stones, which made it difficult to move. The road was blocked tightly, and even if she wanted to dig a ditch, it would be a bit difficult.

Yu Ruyue thought about it for a moment, and suddenly came up with an idea. She turned back to look at Liang Shulan, "Mom! Can we use that siphon method to suck the water over here?"

Liang Shulan thought for a moment and said, "Of course it is possible, but we don't have such a pipe."

Yu Ruyue looked at the river and then at the bamboo forest nearby. "Wu Chang! Take your men and cut down a few of those thick bamboos over there, pierce them open, roast them over a fire, and bend them into the shape of this little mound."

"If we connect a few more bamboos together, the river water from this side can be sucked over here."

Wu Chang and Shaoqing Si Nong were both a little surprised. "Suck it over!? How can something like water be sucked over by bamboo?"

"I've never heard of this method before."

Yu Ruyue waved her hand. "It's hard to explain right away. Hurry up and take people to cut bamboo. Oh, and we need to clear the terrain on this side of the hill and make it lower so that the water can be absorbed more easily."

When Wu Chang heard this, he did as he was told and hurried over to chop bamboo.

When Manager Yang heard the news, he hurried over. But when he learned that bamboo was needed to absorb the river water, he felt ironic.

Is this woman crazy?! She's actually trying to attract His Majesty's attention this way? Does she think she's a deity? Can she make water flow wherever she wants?

It's ridiculous. He has been here for more than 30 years and has been fetching water every year. Why does this woman come here and challenge his authority?

He watched from the side and left when no one was paying attention. He didn't think this woman could succeed, so he wanted to stay away so that these people wouldn't come to him for help again.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Agriculture was scribbling something with a pen in his hand. Finally, he couldn't help himself and asked cautiously, "Madam! What exactly do you mean by the siphon principle? Can it really work?"
