After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

When the girls heard this, their faces lit up with joy and they began to cry for joy.

What they fear most is that they will no longer have a place to stand in this world.

Although His Highness is willing to help them start a new life, they no longer plan to get married and have children.

After such an experience, no man in the world would be willing to marry them.

Even if you change places, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and your psychological shadow will always be there.

If you accidentally say it one day, it will be trouble again.

It would be better for everyone to live together and support themselves, and they may be able to gain freedom and wealth in the future.

........

The next day, in the imperial manor.

Several old men including Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li, as well as a younger man named Hu Lao San, were sitting in the main hall of the imperial farm, trembling with fear.

Several maids served them tea and snacks one by one. Just as they were about to leave, Elder Zhang asked carefully, "Excuse me, when will Her Royal Highness the Princess arrive?"

The maid returned the greeting and said, "Yesterday, His Highness instructed us to come before noon (12 o'clock). It's not even 8 o'clock yet, so His Highness might not be up yet... Please wait a little longer!"

As soon as the little maid finished speaking, everyone looked embarrassed.

Although His Highness asked to come before noon, courtesy is always welcome.

It would be better to arrive earlier. Who would have thought that we would arrive so early while others are still asleep?

This was their first time coming to the imperial farm in front, and also their first time being received by the princess of the dynasty. They were extremely excited and discussed for half the night before deciding to invite several old men who had met the general before to bring Hu Lao San along.

Actually, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li already had some guesses in their minds, but they were still not sure, so they rushed to the imperial farm so anxiously early in the morning to confirm it.

For the first time, they were not driven out by the guards guarding the imperial farm, but were invited in. For the first time, they could really see what the imperial farm looked like.

The carved beams and painted buildings are exquisite.

No wonder Manager Cai is so successful. It turns out that working for the royal family can really help you rise to the top.

On the other side, after Zhong Ning learned that those people had arrived at the imperial farm in advance, he had no choice but to get up from the bed. After being helped to dress, he ordered someone to serve some breakfast in the dining hall next to the main hall.

Those people were all ordinary people. They probably came here in a hurry without even having eaten. Anyway, it would take her some time to eat, so she might as well serve them some food.

Half an hour later, Zhong Ning came out leisurely and formally met with several representatives from the village.

Of course, it was behind the bead curtain.

Zhong Ning was dressed in a princess's gorgeous dress and sitting behind a pearl curtain. From the outside, only a vague and elegant figure could be seen, but her face was not clear.

But just this was enough to make those people very excited, and they knelt on the ground to thank the princess for her grace despite their old age.

Zhong Ning called out and then ordered someone to bring out a tray with five big potatoes and a record on it.

"This is a kind of food I obtained from a foreign merchant. It's called potatoes. They have a high yield and are very filling. If we can successfully grow them, from now on, the number of hungry people in the world will be reduced by half."

"I'm handing these potatoes over to you. Have those most experienced in farming cultivate them. The planting instructions and related precautions are written on the tray. If you succeed in cultivating and planting them, it will be a great achievement."

"If the planting is successful, I will split the rent from the imperial farm 50-50."

"On the outskirts of Fuyun Mountain, villagers are allowed to contract production to each household. You can plant fruit trees, raise chickens and ducks, or reclaim wasteland. It's all up to you."

“A school has been set up in the village and all children in the village can attend it free of charge.”

"A monument will be erected in the village to commemorate your achievements. All villagers will be grateful for your contribution."

All the villagers present:........

What?

Just by planting this lump of soil, can you get so many benefits?

The rent is split 50-50?

Can villagers plant fruit trees outside Fuyun Mountain?

Will there be a school in the village?

Everyone couldn't believe what they heard, even Hu Laosan forgot the purpose of his original visit.

He just stared at the tray in the guard's hand. No matter how he looked at it, the yellow lumps of earth didn't look like food.

Can this thing really be grown?

Even if it is possible to plant, winter is approaching now, where can we plant it?

"Your Highness, these potatoes are new crops, and winter is about to come. How can we plant them?" Hu Laosan was a little worried.

"Don't worry. Kyoto is located in the south, so the climate is relatively warm. Planting is possible between October and December. Now is the perfect time to plant."

"If that's the case, then we will definitely work hard and cultivate potatoes according to your highness's instructions." Old Zhang also said tremblingly, looking at the potatoes as if he was looking at hope.

However, most people in their village cannot read...

Old General Zhang turned his attention to Hu Laosan, the only person in the village who could read and write, and placed all his hopes on him. After all, he was the only one who could read.

Hu Laosan gritted his teeth and took the record paper on the tray. He read it line by line. There were a few words he didn't recognize, so he quickly asked the guard beside him for help.

A quarter of an hour later, I finally managed to memorize the contents.

Zhong Ning put down the tea bowl in his hand and continued:

"You can discuss among yourselves how to plant and cultivate them. Most of the land under Manager Cai's jurisdiction was good farmland. Potatoes prefer sandy and fertile land, so we will use it for potato planting."

"As for the specific details, I will arrange for a new steward to take over tomorrow. He will then take care of everything."

"Go ahead! The promises I just made will be fulfilled one by one after you successfully cultivate potatoes."

"Whether you can meet my requirements depends on your luck!"

After Zhong Ning finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Behind him, there were only the sounds of a few people kneeling down to congratulate him.

As for the potato planting, Zhong Ning had already sent people to another hot spring resort outside Beijing a month ago and arranged for someone to plant them. The potatoes will be mature in two months.

When Lu Xingzhou was arranged here, he also thought of the two farms under his name, but he was afraid that food products and even vegetables and fruits would be supplied to the military camp stationed here first in the future.

In order to prevent the fertile land here from being requisitioned by the palace or Zhuangzi from being taken back by Emperor Yong.

So she sent people to arrange another hot spring village in advance, and set aside two acres of fertile land near the hot spring water to grow potatoes.

Why do we have to do this here when we have already arranged for people to plant the crops?

In fact, it is just to give them a reason to share the benefits, and let them know that the profits gained by this village are the result of their own hard work, not the rewards from the superiors.

No one is anyone's savior.

Whether they can live a good life depends on their own attitude. If the people in the village cannot unite as one and work together to find ways to live a good life, then even if huge benefits are given to them, they will not be able to hold on to them.
