The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

Ling Moxiao said he wanted to set an example and let the people of Youzhou know that King Ling valued agriculture. Moreover, when promoting this experimental field model, he personally demonstrated it, making it easier for the people to accept it.

Shen Dongsu knew very well that this was not the most important reason. The real reason was that she was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to go to the fields.

Now King Ling has gone to the fields to plant rice. Can other officials sit on the embankment and watch? In the end, half of the officials in Youzhou City went to the fields.

In fact, this situation also happened in Chang'an. Every year during spring plowing, the emperor would go to the fields with his nobles, but it was just for show.

The emperor went to the fields to get his feet wet, and countless people were so busy that they were overwhelmed.

In addition to the emperor's show, the queen also put on a show. During the summer wheat harvest, the queen would take the ladies to the wheat fields to pick up the wheat grains that fell during the harvest.

The queen of this dynasty, also known as the deposed queen, despised this kind of showmanship. In the first few years when she became queen, she was willing to perform.

Later, it turned out that on that day she went out to play in the palace, and the people couldn't see her anyway. She was picking wheat or doing other things.

Besides, the small experimental field in Youhou and Houcheng at this moment is full of people.

What's even more exaggerated is that the fields are surrounded by people, and the scene is more lively than the Chinese New Year.

The first time he planted rice seedlings like this, Shen Dongsu asked two people to pull ropes on the field embankment to create a gap between rows.

Throw the seedlings again and instruct Ling Moxiao to separate the seedlings and plant the two seedlings together.

The effect is not bad, row after row is very neat. These men were not gentle in their approach, but they were strong enough to insert the seedlings deeply into the mud.

Although there is some staggering, it does not affect growth. Ling Moxiao was not impatient at all. From time to time he would raise his head and ask her, is this okay?

She heard people talking about how much land it was wasting so much space. It should be planted full of vegetables, just like growing vegetables.

Shen Dongsu took the opportunity to popularize science and left a large space. The root system of the seedlings has enough space to grow, which is also conducive to fertilization. Only then will the ears be large when mature.

If planted too full, the seedlings will not grow big, their fertility will not keep up, and the harvest will not be high.

Yue Jian was also in a hurry to go to the fields. Instead of planting rice seedlings, she was going to catch the blood leeches in the field, which are very good medicinal materials.

Since it is a test field, the test must be completed at once. Shen Dongsu also asked people to catch some small loach seedlings and raise them in the paddy fields.

There is little water in Youzhou, so it is impossible to raise crucian carp in rice fields, but loaches can still survive.

King Ling went to the farmland, which was indeed very effective. Many people voluntarily joined the wasteland reclamation team.

According to official statistics, the amount of land effectively planted during spring plowing this year is ten times that of last year!

The more trust the people have, the heavier the burden Shen Dongsu feels on his shoulders. The people work tirelessly to farm, and we must be responsible for protecting their fields.

As long as the Tatars do not invade this year and the people's fields are not lost, the people of the world believe that King Ling can maintain peace in Youzhou.

Next year, all walks of life will experience explosive growth.

So this year is the top priority. King Ling's expedition is one of the most important. The other is that Princess Ling who stayed in Youzhou can defend Youzhou City.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, Shen Linzhong rushed back to Youzhou City from the base and reported on the situation at the base. Currently, the Jiang family's ship was still at the port, and the maritime affairs that Chen Luoxue was responsible for were going smoothly.

The land reclamation and land reclamation at the base also went smoothly. Half of the fields were planted with rice, and the land was planted with cotton and hemp.

He came back this time to see off Ling Moxiao. Also to follow his instructions for the future development of the base.

Ling Moxiao originally wanted Shen Linzhong to stay in Youzhou City, but Dong Su was pregnant and it would be better if he was not around and Shen Linzhong, his biological brother, was with him.

But Shen Dongsu said that the base is also very important. The development of the coast will make Youzhou's economy grow rapidly.

Shen Linzhong stayed in the city, and at most he was responsible for the salt affairs and cooking midnight snacks for her. Overkill.

She didn't want her brother to lose his talent and insisted on letting Shen Linzhong return to the base, so Ling Moxiao had no choice but to agree.

Shen Dongsu quietly told her elder brother that she was pregnant, and Shen Linzhong was naturally very happy for his sister.

Dong Su also told him not to tell anyone else about this, nor to his family. In addition, she may go to the base in June.

Shen Linzhong heard that the imperial envoy from the imperial court would be coming in June. In order to prevent the prince from knowing that she was pregnant and sending someone to harm Ling Moxiao during his expedition, she had to avoid the imperial envoy.

Shen Linzhong suggested that as soon as the prince leaves, she should go back to the base with him and stay there until the imperial envoy leaves and then comes back.

Shen Dongsu thought about it carefully and decided that it was not possible. The spring plowing was not over yet, and a military hospital was being built in the city. She wanted to participate in the planning.

There are also a number of infrastructure projects that require collaboration with several nearby states and cities, and her involvement is also needed.

Shen Linzhong felt that his sister was working too hard. According to family members, her sister was a princess and enjoyed great wealth.

But there are too many things to worry about! He tried to remember what the women in his hometown would do if they were pregnant.

Suddenly he thought of something and said happily: "I'll ask someone to bring our mother over!"

Shen Dongsu was drinking millet porridge and almost squirted, choking and coughing repeatedly.

Yue Jian hurriedly came to pat her back and glared at Shen Linzhong, who was at a loss.

Shen Dongsu choked and drank the warm water before asking, "Why did you pick her up?"

Shen Linzhong said hurriedly: "When a woman in my hometown is pregnant, she will take her mother to live with her husband's house. Especially in the first few months, only her mother can take care of her to ensure the pregnancy is stable."

Ling Moxiao happened to come back at this time and was stunned when he heard this. It turns out that there is such a saying among the people.

He also asked Shen Dongsu: "Don't you always miss grandpa? Do you want to pick him up together?"

Shen Dong was speechless, could you please stop causing trouble?

Will you take Mrs. Jiang to serve her during confinement? Is there anything more terrifying than this?

"Didn't I just tell you that you should hide this matter?"

Shen Linzhong said hurriedly: "You can find another reason."

Shen Dong gave him a blank look: "Just say you want to get married."

This frightened Shen Linzhong, and he blushed and said, "It's nothing about Wu Ying."

"Then don't mention it again! Thousands of miles away, why bring them here?"

Shen Linzhong has a maternal love filter for Jiang. Of course, Jiang's maternal love is half given to him and half to Zhong Yang.

Before Shen Dongsu married Ling Moxiao, she had planned to escape from the Jiang family and marry far away.

Now I got what I wanted, you actually told me to take her over!

I can't imagine how arrogant the Jiang family would be as the mother-in-law of Prince Ling when she came to Youzhou? How many stupid things to do!

Shen Linzhong also felt that he had made a bad idea, and asked guiltily: "Brother, what can I help you with?"

Shen Dongsu then smiled: "Brother, building the coastal base well is the greatest help to me."

Shen Linzhong was greatly encouraged: "Don't worry, if you go to the base in June, I will definitely let you see a brand new base!"

On the eighth day of the lunar month, Ling Moxiao started ordering troops. Originally, Shen Dongsu wanted to go with him. In the past, she would bring wine and meat to the soldiers.

But people in this era have many taboos against pregnant women, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. Some families will not let pregnant women go out.

Ling Moxiao said that the army would be busy from dawn until late at night and would not let her go.

She then sent Yue Jian with a batch of wine and meat.

Jia Si was originally very frustrated that he could not go on the expedition with the prince. But now that he knows that the princess is pregnant, the nature of his work has changed again.
