Traveling back and forth from ancient times to the present, the prince pursues love in the modern ti

Because Beichuan has been quite busy recently, everyone has basically been staying at the Xia family's old house during this period.

Xia Youan excitedly asked the guards about the ministers' situation, "How are they doing? Did they spend any money?"

Speaking of this, Du Zuo became interested, "Princess, you don't know, they didn't even have dinner before riding their bicycles to the outer city and shopping at the trade center.

If the car they rented wasn't too small to fit everything, they probably wouldn't have stopped. Those ministers who had less money had already started borrowing money.

After looking at our hotel, they all booked rooms for tomorrow. They were dragged to the bar by the waiter for a drink and probably wouldn't be able to come out for a while.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will have to spend all the money they brought with them before they can leave Beichuan."

Xia Youan felt relieved. The fuel was expensive, and he couldn't bring them here for nothing.

"It would be best to persuade them to buy a few houses. The more big spenders like them, the better. The more they come, the more they can contribute to Beichuan's GDP growth."

"Princess, don't worry. Once they enter the sales office, we won't let them leave empty-handed."

Chu Moyuan looked at the excited master and servant and complained, "You two are too cruel. Don't pluck the wool off the sheep in one go. Fatten them up and pluck them more times."

Emperor Xiao Jing couldn't bear to see his ministers being targeted by this couple, and he knew they couldn't escape unscathed.

"That's enough, you two. You've already taken advantage of Beichuan. How can I take advantage of you again when we return to the capital?"

The next day, Shan Rongjie came to pick them up on time in a business car.

The emperor and his entourage drove their own luxury cars, which made the ministers envious. They thought that the business car was luxurious enough, but they didn't expect that it would be compared to a donkey in front of the emperor's car.

Even Censor Xie and General Shan have their own private cars. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

Xia Youan took a day off today to accompany them to see the harvest, hoping that she would not be disappointed.

The car drove out of the city and accelerated.

"Oh my god, this car can go so fast? I thought it was just like a horse-drawn carriage.

General Shan, if we drive this car back to the capital, wouldn't it save a lot of time?"

Shan Rongjie said: "Let me tell you this, last year my father and I came to Beichuan, riding fast horses and sleeping in the open air for half a month.

When the road from Beichuan to the capital is completed, I can drive back. I can leave in the morning and have a hot dinner when I get home."

"So fast!" the ministers exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm~ Beichuan is just starting to develop and isn't fully developed yet. In two years, if you come back, I guarantee you won't want to leave!"

"Actually, I don't want to leave now. The wine last night was so delicious. I wonder when our capital will run out of it?"

The ministers discussed the wine they had drunk in the bar in the carriage and still reminisced about it.

"It will be available when you return to the capital. We have already prepared for the opening." Shan Rongjie explained.

Emperor Jing was very nervous along the way and called all the ministers to come. What if the output remained the same as before?

Xia Youan noticed his nervousness and said soothingly, "Your Majesty, don't be so nervous. We went to check it out last week, and the wheat ears were all heavy.

Although the exact amount of production is uncertain, the villagers say it is at least double what it was before.”

Emperor Xiao Jing calculated in his mind that doubling the weight would be two or three hundred kilograms.

Although it is acceptable, after seeing the modern production, I really can’t accept the production of two or three hundred kilograms.

Sure enough, people are greedy.

When they arrived at Fengxiang County, Du Qianhao was already there. He and the county magistrate of Fengxiang County got into Du Zuo's car and were led to the pilot village.

Emperor Xiao Jing felt a little more confident when he saw the wheat ears bending down in the fields.

Looking at the ministers staring at the wheat ears like wolves, especially the minister in charge of the Agriculture Department, it felt like they wanted to take away all these crops.

Xia Youan shattered their fantasies in time.

"Your Majesty, these ears of wheat look plump, but they cannot be used as grain."

Although these words were spoken to Emperor Jing, they were also meant for the ministers to hear.

She was really afraid that some greedy guy would propose to the emperor the bad idea of ​​donating all the grain in Beichuan.

Even if the sky falls, the people of Beichuan must first have enough to eat.

"Why?" Emperor Xiao Jing asked in confusion. In fact, he also had the idea of ​​saving these grains for seeds.

Xia Youan explained: "The grain seeds we use are hybrid seeds developed by professional seed companies.

The second generation of this kind of seeds will show symptoms of trait separation and quality decline.

If you save the seeds yourself, it is likely to result in reduced yield or even no harvest at all.

So, Your Majesty, please don't take advantage of Beichuan's food supply~"

After listening to Xia Youan's explanation, not only were the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture disappointed, but even Emperor Jing was visibly depressed.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to be so unhappy. Once the school is built, we will open an agricultural college to train agricultural talents. Then the seeds will come in an endless supply, right?" Xia Youan continued.

Emperor Xiao Jing nodded, his mood brightening again. "An An is right. Only by taking one step at a time can we find a steady path."

Standing at the edge of the field, Chu Moyuan handed the sickle to Emperor Xiaojing.

"Father, you will be the first to cut the harvest!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Xiao Jing took the sickle, grabbed a handful of wheat stalks, and cut the wheat.

"Wheat harvest officially begins!"

The guards were responsible for harvesting this acre of land, and the official in charge of the Agriculture Department was anxious and asked to go down to harvest.

Emperor Xiao Jing ordered: "My dear ministers, go down and feel the joy of the farmers harvesting!"

This statement satisfied the agricultural officials. The other officials were reluctant to go to the fields, but the military generals happily rolled up their sleeves and went to work.

After the harvest is completed, there is a thresher on site to thresh and weigh the grains on the spot.

"Your Majesty weighs eight hundred and sixty kilograms! Your Majesty, the people of Da Chu are saved!"

The officials of the Ministry of Agriculture knelt down excitedly, and the people were even more stunned when they heard the weight of 860 kilograms.

They have been farming all their lives and have never heard of such an astronomical figure. It has increased sevenfold!

"Long live our emperor!" No one knew who took the lead, but everyone knelt down and started shouting.

"Stand up, this is all thanks to the King of Chu and Xia Youan, and the seeds were also provided by the Xia family.

We will have to continue to rely on the Xia family to provide everyone with grain every year. If you want to thank anyone, thank them!" Emperor Xiao Jing said.

"Thank you, Miss Xia, and thank you, His Royal Highness the King of Chu. You are our reborn parents!"

Xia Youan quickly helped the person kneeling in front of him up and said, "Hurry up and get up. This is what I should do. As long as you can live a good life and have enough food to eat, my efforts will not be in vain."

On the way back, the ministers were still discussing excitedly.

"Beichuan is truly a miracle! When have you ever heard of wheat yielding over 800 kilograms per mu? If any country dares to go to war with us again, we will outlast them."

“Rather than saying that Beichuan is a miracle, it’s not about His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu and that Xia Youan. Haven’t you heard that the seeds were obtained by these two people?

And if we want to plant this kind of seeds in the future, we will have to rely on them.”

"Yeah, I have to befriend them from now on, especially those guys from the Agricultural Division. I guess I'll have to worship these two like gods."
