The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"
Chapter 232 Hu Yucheng's Worries
Not long after the intercalary month ended, the Imperial Guards came to inform us that the delegation would go to the estate early the next morning, and that the Crown Prince of Qin had already made arrangements in advance.
The next morning, when Jingxue and Runyue arrived at the gate of the East Palace, they saw Wulintuya and Princess Jingyi.
"Princess Consort Zhan, I heard you've been involved in the negotiations these past few days. I haven't had a chance to visit you!" Wulin Tuya said to Jingxue as soon as they met.
Jingxue raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, "You guys should go back now! I'm getting restless here too."
"There's nothing fun here. By the way, didn't Yan give you a motorcycle?" Jingxue asked.
Ulintuya shook her head, looking at Runyue who was standing on his hind legs, and said, "No! I haven't seen him for several days either. Is this the one this girl is riding?"
“Yes! Wanyan Junhao bought two!” Jingxue said.
Just then, Wanyan Junhao arrived on his motorcycle, and Wulin Tuya and Princess Jingyi looked at him in surprise.
The guy rode up beside them and screeched to a halt.
"Nayan, you ride so well!" Wulintuya said with a smile.
Wanyan Junhao said in a good mood, "Right? I'll teach you when I have time. I bought you one too, but I forgot to send it to you. But you won't know how to do it without someone to teach you. Don't worry, I'll teach you on our way back."
Jingxue didn't want to listen to the couple's conversation, so she took Runyue and walked forward, with Princess Jingyi following with her maid.
This time, not only did officials from the Ministry of Revenue accompany them to the estate, but also several people from Prince Duan and the Ministry of Rites went along.
Runyue and Wanyan Junhao rode motorcycles in front, while the rest of the people rode horses.
Jingxue thought Ye Muchen wouldn't go this time, but it turned out he was waiting at the city gate with Gao Chi and Li Guangxing!
Not only them, but also the legendary doctor Baili.
It was cold, and not the time to talk, so everyone hurried out of the city.
Before leaving, Jingxue reminded Runyue that the road to the village was uneven and that she should not ride too fast.
Once outside the city, the group's speed naturally increased, and they arrived at the village before noon.
Qin Jing and Liu He, the Minister of Agriculture, were already waiting at the village entrance with their men.
The Imperial Advisor and Wanyan Junhui, riding on horseback, could see the rows of neat greenhouses from afar.
"Bei Ye grows vegetables in his tent?" Wanyan Junhui asked.
The Grand Preceptor, Ulindaku, continued to carefully observe what lay ahead. "It looks like a tent, but it's huge! And what material is it made of?"
Because it was midday and the sun was shining brightly, the felt blankets on the greenhouse had already been rolled up.
"Some things about Bei Ye are truly beyond our imagination!" Wanyan Junhui exclaimed.
"This is Princess Zhan's estate, and it's something she orchestrated again. Seventh Prince, have you noticed that everything we can't imagine is related to Princess Zhan? Yesterday, I even studied the Second Prince's carriage. I don't know how it moves. The Second Prince even said he'd just stop and let it bask in the sun," the Grand Preceptor said.
Wanyan Junhui nodded, "That's true! We won't gain anything by trading with them; let's try to maximize our profits!"
As they spoke, they arrived at the village entrance, where Qin Jing led the group to the greenhouse and dismounted.
Because there were members of the delegation, Liu He was the one who gave the explanation. Jingxue didn't see many manor owners or steward Yuan, nor were there any workers.
Anyone who goes inside this greenhouse is amazed. Outside, it's a snowy winter day, but inside, it's warm and cozy, a vibrant green scene. The inside and outside are just a step apart, yet they seem like two different worlds.
Not only were the members of the delegation surprised, but even the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and Prince Duan were bewildered!
Jingxue last came with the Emperor Emeritus, which is about a month ago, and the green vegetables in the shed have grown another batch.
The delegation and the Ministry of Revenue had quite a few questions, which Liu He answered one by one.
As Jingxue walked, she used her supernatural abilities to check the storerooms of Qin Jing's estate. There was still quite a bit of meat and eggs left over from last time, and the estate managers might still be saving them for the New Year!
We've added a lot more New Year's goods: five pigs, ten sheep, and one hundred chickens. This time, we've also reserved one hundred large carp. There are now dozens of people living here! We've also added a lot more grain.
Wulintuya walked beside Jingxue, looking at the red and yellow tomatoes and green cucumbers on the shelf. She really wanted to pick one and taste it, but she was too embarrassed to say so.
As Jingxue regained her senses, she saw the longing look in Wulintuya's eyes.
She picked a few strawberries and persimmons, washed them in the bucket next to her, took a bite herself, and then handed them to Wulintuya and Princess Jingyi. At this moment, there were only the three women in the shed.
The child from the leap month stayed in the shed with the puppies and refused to come out. Neither Wulintuya nor Princess Jingyi's maids came in, otherwise there would have been too many people.
"It's delicious!" Ulintuya said, taking a bite of the persimmon.
"Is it delicious? When you go back, I'll bring you two boxes so you can eat them on the way!" Jingxue said generously.
"Thank you!" Ulintuya said, swallowing a mouthful of persimmon.
Princess Jingyi had eaten vegetables from "Li's Fruit and Vegetable Shop" at the Marquis's residence, but they were always cooked. This was her first time eating them raw, and they were really delicious with a particularly refreshing taste.
"Princess Consort Zhan, does your fruit and vegetable shop on North Street sell these kinds of persimmons?" Princess Jingyi was somewhat afraid of Jingxue these days and rarely spoke to her.
Jingxue nodded, "They sell them!"
When we arrived at the greenhouse where the crops were grown, we found that another batch of potatoes had been planted and had already sprouted, while the soybean pods were already turning yellow. They would be ready for harvest soon.
The corn had all produced very large ears. Qin Jing said he had someone pick some this morning and have them cooked so that everyone could try them when they returned to the estate.
Liu He peeled open an ear of corn for everyone on the spot. The kernels were plump, and when he pinched it, the corn juice spurted out.
The members of the Cangbei delegation were excited as they looked at this rare crop. This crop could fill their stomachs even before it was fully ripe, and once ripe, it could be ground into flour to make dry rations or cooked into porridge.
As Liu He just mentioned, these crops are all drought-resistant, easy to care for, and have high yields.
These are crops that are almost flawless; with them, how could the people possibly go hungry!
Wanyan Junhui not only listened carefully to the explanation, but he also paid attention to the building materials of the greenhouse. He wondered if they could grow vegetables in Cangbei during the winter if they had these materials.
Their winter lasts for seven or eight months, and sometimes it starts snowing as early as the end of September. The herders can only eat vegetables for one season a year. If they can bring back technology or things that will benefit the people, then more and more people will support them in the future.
The officials in the Ministry of Revenue also had their own agendas, some good and some bad. For example, Hu Yucheng, the old man, never expected that Jingxue and Qin Jing would quietly set up so many greenhouses outside the capital and grow such high-quality crops.
He didn't take the people from the Ministry of Agriculture seriously at the time, as he didn't believe that crops could grow in winter. However, things didn't seem to go as he expected.
Now that even the army has stationed here, how come he hasn't received a single word? Neither Prime Minister Zou nor Minister Wang mentioned it.
Hu Yucheng was truly unwilling to accept this situation. If things continued to develop this way, would they have no place in the court in the future? Jingxue had stolen all the glory.
