A small peasant girl who traveled through time and space picked up a war god prince
Chapter 291 Discussing Spring Planting
Long Linxiao summoned all the chefs from Yuehua Tower, and the day was bustling with activity. Even those who were just there to watch the fun and stir up trouble calmed down when they heard the prince was in charge, and just ate and drank.
Prefect Fang also rushed over early in the morning with Zhou Tongzhi.
Prefect Fang: "Old minister Fang Shinong greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Changning."
Zhou Tongzhi: "This humble official greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Changning."
A number of gentry, landlords, and county magistrates from more than twenty counties were almost all present. They all clasped their fists and said, "Brother Li, how are you these days?"
Mr. Wang, I heard that someone almost died in your jewelry store a few days ago because of a fight over headgear!
Go away, go away. Who told you that? It's not true. It's not true. Wang Yuanwai waved his hand and continued to greet people in front of him, whether familiar or unfamiliar, with a fist clasped respectfully.
County Magistrate Zhang is here!
How is Hu Xianwei doing these days?
Good morning, Brother Yang Cheng!
what! ...
There are many words like this.
We also heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here, so we all rushed here.
The gentry, landlords, and other officials saw the prefect and the co-prefect present. They did not dare to approach the prince. Instead, they gathered around Bai Qingyuan and said, "Brother Bai, we must take care of each other when we serve in the same court!"
Everyone knew that Bai Qingyuan would be the future father-in-law of the Crown Prince, the future emperor. Who would dare to disrespect him and cause trouble? They were all rushing to curry favor with him, so no one dared to show any displeasure to Bai Qingzhou. The day's banquet ended smoothly!
When some county magistrates were about to leave, they thought that Princess Changning was young, and that the Crown Prince would not be able to marry just one. Some magistrates with more subtle ideas thought that their daughters could first establish a relationship with the princess, hoping that when the Crown Prince and the princess finally married, their daughters would win the Crown Prince's favor. If they were capable, they could even make her a concubine, which would further enhance their careers.
[These thoughts are unknown to Siyu. If she knew, I'd say, "MMP, damn it!" You're still trying to poach me, let's see if you have the talent. Um, you want to play the game of getting acquainted with me and climbing into my bed, but that'll make your dreams come true faster.]
Prefect Fang, Tongzhi Zhou, and the county magistrate were all left behind.
His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, said, "Stay and listen to what the Princess has to say about the future development of grain."
Prefect Fang couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, how will you implement the planting of sweet potatoes and rice? There are only so many fields for spring planting, and there are more than twenty counties, large and small, in Qingzhou Prefecture, with hundreds of villages and towns. How can we get the people to learn all at once? This is a huge project. How will we distribute it and how will we plant it? I would like to ask Your Highness, Your Highness, and the Princess for your guidance."
Long Linxiao: "He lazily sat on the armchair. Although he was playing with the ornaments in his hands, he didn't even glance at the people below. He just looked at the little girl beside him with a doting look on his face as she performed."
She would also say lightly: "These matters can be decided by Princess Changning. This time, the Princess is the one who is in charge of developing agricultural grain planting. I am only here to accompany my fiancée. The Princess is the one who makes the decisions."
Seeing the Crown Prince favoring the Princess, Prefect Fang could only bow and say, "I am sorry for my rudeness, Princess. Please forgive me."
Siyu waved her hand, ignoring the flattery of these cunning fellows. Her expression was serious and earnest. She cut to the chase: "Last year, many villagers in our Baijia Village learned how to grow sweet potatoes, rice, and raise fish in rice paddies. This princess and the crown prince have discussed this and have decided to divide it into three parts: planting, transplanting, stocking the paddies with fish fry, and turning the rice seedlings. We will select some skilled and good-natured individuals from Baijia Village to teach in various counties. At that time, we hope the prefect will supervise the county magistrates of each county to recruit these individuals as technical consultants. Each county government will also provide technical personnel with guidance, paying them 100 wen per person per day. Then, we will notify the villages under their jurisdiction. Each village will be asked to find some skilled farmers who are honest and selfless. They will learn how to grow sweet potatoes and rice seedlings. After learning, they will return to their villages and teach their neighbors. In the second phase, they will learn transplanting. This princess will notify everyone separately about stocking the paddies with fish fry and turning the sweet potatoes."
The prefect thought this was a brilliant idea. Instead of going county by county, they could go village by village and personally notify them. They could assign the task to the county magistrates, who would then assign it to the village heads. This way, with each level in charge, the people would soon learn the ropes.
Prefect Fang rubbed his hands excitedly. "Great, great! This is a great idea. Not only will it allow the people to learn, but it won't delay spring planting. And since every county has experienced growers teaching, the people in every county will be able to get started quickly."
Prefect Fang turned back to look at the trembling county magistrates sitting below him and said, "Listen carefully, everyone! Don't cause any trouble for me, or I will not let you off easily."
The county magistrates looked at the senior officials sitting above and nodded, "Your humble servants dare not, your humble servants dare not, and will do their best to complete the tasks assigned by the princess, the prince, and the prefect."
Prefect Fang said: "Okay, if even one person delays spring planting, all of you county officials will be punished. You will supervise each other and report anyone who abuses their power for personal gain.
Long Linxiao nodded slightly. Fang Weimin was indeed a man praised by everyone in the capital. He was a neutral figure, not one to flatter or fawn on others, and a man of integrity. If he hadn't been ostracized in the capital, he wouldn't have come to this impoverished Qingzhou Prefecture. If he performed well on his mission this year, he would have asked his father to give him a promotion.
Siyu continued, "This princess also has rewards and punishments here. If someone does well, I will give him a surprise at the end of the year. If someone does not do well, or abuses their power for personal gain, I will make him pay for it." As she spoke, Siyu exerted force, and the cup in her hand turned into powder. The county magistrates below trembled with fear. Some county magistrates with ulterior motives fell to their knees with a plop, kowtowing repeatedly. "Your humble servant dares not, your humble servant dares not." It was not known whether they did not dare to deceive Princess Siyu, fool the people, or if they did not dare to have any other crooked ideas."
Prefect Fang nodded secretly. Although this princess is young, she is calm and experienced in her work and should not be underestimated in the future.
Siyu didn't know what Prefect Fang was thinking, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care, so things would go smoothly.
After the discussion was over, Prefect Fang and Co-Prefect Zhou took their leave with the other county magistrates.
Siyu turned around and looked at her father: "Dad, when will you take up your post?"
Bai Qingyuan: "Raised his hand and patted Siyu's head. Now that your affairs are settled, it's time for Daddy to take up his post."
Siyu: "Okay then!"
Long Linxiao: "Uncle, do you want me and Sister Yu'er to go with you?"
Bai Qingyuan: "No, I'm already an adult, why would I need you two kids to accompany me? Besides, the problems I'll face in the future will be much more difficult than this. Do I have to ask you for everything?"
Long Linxiao: "I nodded. Uncle Bai is a man of courage and strategy. He won't give up easily. It's just that he took the imperial examination a little late. Otherwise, he would have been a pillar of society long ago."
Bai Qingyuan: "Don't flatter me, kid. Don't think I don't know your little tricks. I don't care if you are the crown prince or the future emperor. As long as you treat my daughter badly, I will take her away."
