Iron Dynasty

Chapter 406 When the potatoes are ripe

The carriage went tick tock along the clean cement road to the Qi Wangfu.

On the way, Xiao Ming and Fei Yue’er began to explain the difference between a hot air balloon and a hydrogen balloon, as well as other things unique to Qingzhou such as cement, and Fei Yue’er was shocked all the way.

Fei Yue'er was also a well-known talented woman in Chang'an, but she was confused when she encountered this scientific knowledge.

On the cement road, the carriage ran very fast, and they arrived at the palace after ten minutes. Aster and Luluo cheered and got off the carriage, instructing the servants of the palace to move the wedding gifts into the palace.

Knowing that Xiao Ming was coming back, the servants of the entire palace gathered, and Qian Dafu also came back from the mine on purpose to meet the princess who entered the Qi palace.

After getting off the carriage, Xiao Ming took Fei Yue'er into the main hall.

After moving the things on the carriage, Qian Dafu led the servants of the palace to the main hall, and bowed and saluted with a smile, See Your Highness, see Princess.

I had already experienced it on the pier just now, but Fei Yue'er was a little calmer at this time, and said with a smile: No gift.

Thank you, Princess. Qian Dafu and others got up.

At this time, Fei Yue'er said: From now on, I will serve Your Highness together with you, and I hope you can work together to share the trivial matters for Your Highness. I have nothing valuable, so I have prepared some broken silver as a blessing.

After all, Fei Yue'er gestured to Xiaohuan, and Xiaohuan immediately took out a small package, this small package was all small pieces of silver.

Before leaving, Fiji gave her the money and asked him to pay the servants in the palace, so that these servants could have a good impression of her and serve her faithfully.

Thank you, Princess. Xiaohuan handed over the pieces of silver one by one, and many servants smiled.

Xiao Ming said softly to Fei Yue'er at this time: You will buy people's hearts.

Fei Yue'er pursed her lips and smiled, This is all taught by my father.

Xiaohuan handed out pieces of silver, and Xiao Ming said in a loud voice, You guys have also taken this silver. In the future, you must serve the princess with all your heart. If anyone harbors malice toward the princess, don't blame the king for being rude.

Yes, Your Highness. The servants bowed and said.

Nodding his head, Xiao Ming asked everyone to retreat, leaving Qian Dafu alone, and said, Princess, this is the housekeeper Qian, who used to serve in front of the mother-in-law. Remember, he is the most trustworthy person in Qingzhou, the king. In times of crisis, he is also the most reliable person.

Mother-in-law once told me, Steward Qian, I will need your help in the future. Fei Yue'er said softly.

Qian Dafu was a little excited, and he hurriedly said, Don't worry, the princess, as long as the princess gives an order, the old slave will definitely do his best, saddle the front and the back.

Hearing this, Fei Yue'er laughed softly.

After seeing the servants of the palace, Xiao Ming led Fei Yue'er to the dormitory, which was where the two of them lived from now on.

After entering the bedroom, Fei Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief and wandered around the bedroom like a child.

When she saw the full-length mirror in front of the dressing table, she couldn't move anymore, and couldn't stop looking at herself in the mirror. This mirror was much bigger than the one Xiao Ming gave her.

Wandering in front of the mirror for a while, Fei Yue'er turned to the bed again, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

His Royal Highness, what is this? Fei Yue'er pointed to the spring pad on the boat and said, compared to the ordinary wooden bed, at this time Xiao Ming's boat had something as big as a bed.

This is a mattress. It is estimated that the craftsman sent it during this king's trip to Chang'an. Xiao Ming said with a smile.

The ancient beds are all solid wood beds, which is good, but the bed boards are not ordinary hard, so after the Wei family restaurant was equipped with a spring bed, he asked the craftsman to make a special mattress for him.

This mattress is supported by springs and filled with cotton. Although it is not as elastic as sponge, it is also a high-end commodity in this era.

Mattress? Fei Yue'er stretched out her fingers and pressed it, and it bounced again.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: You sit up and try it. It's very comfortable. This king is preparing to produce mattresses for the Chamber of Commerce to sell.

Fei Yue'er nodded and sat gently on the mattress. Suddenly, she felt as if her body was sitting on water. After sitting down, she was bounced up again, and her mouth widened in surprise.

How is it? It's more comfortable than a wooden bed. We will live on it in the future. Xiao Ming said with a wicked smile.

Fei Yue'er blushed when she heard the words.

Xiao Ming was about to tease Fei Yue'er again when Aster walked in and said, His Royal Highness Pang Changshi is here, saying that the potatoes are about to be harvested.

yes?

Xiao Ming summed it up, he came back in time, and now is the harvest season of potatoes.

Hahaha... He laughed three times, Xiao Ming's saliva was about to flow down, and his favorite french fries would soon become a reality.

After laughing, he said to Fei Yue'er: Princess, you are familiar with it here, and this king will come when he goes.

Under Fei Yue'er's stunned eyes, Xiao Ming and Aster walked towards the main hall.

Seeing Xiao Ming leave, Fei Yue'er let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly smiled mischievously, lying on the bed, rolling over and over.

Holding the soft quilt Fei Yue'er looked happy, What a comfortable bed, this Qingzhou is really magical, and it is different from Chang'an in every way.

In the main hall, Pang Yukun was waiting for Xiao Ming.

After a while, Xiao Ming arrived at the entrance of the main hall and said to him, Go, go directly to the slave plantation.

Pang Yukun smiled and followed Xiao Ming's footsteps.

He was equally excited, as Xiao Ming said, something like 20 shi per mu could bring miracles to Qingzhou.

Riding on the horse, the two headed for the slave plantation together. This time he came back for the winter, which was another season of scarcity of food. With potatoes, the army and the academy could have a variety of dishes.

In the plantation outside the city, Kuiwu was waiting for Pang Yukun to come. At this time, he had summoned the slaves in the village.

Seeing Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun coming together, he immediately stepped forward and said diligently, Kui Wu sees His Highness, Pang Changshi.

No gift. Xiao Ming looked at the field. There were raised ridges between the fields. On the ridges were low green plants, which were the stems and leaves of potatoes.

The real potatoes are buried in this raised soil ridge.

His Royal Highness, for the past few months, the little slave has taken the slaves to take good care of it. His Highness said that the minimum yield of this potato is 20 stone per mu. A little slack. Kui Wu's face flushed with excitement.

Xiao Ming once said that if the yield of potatoes exceeds 30 stone per mu, his slave status will be released and he will become a real Qingzhou resident.

Well, if it's a snail or a horse, it has to be pulled out for a ride. Xiao Ming looked at the boundless potato with an excited expression.

On the way here, Pang Yukun said that the cultivated seedlings had planted a total of 3,000 mu of land, and he was looking forward to the total harvest this time.
