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

Shen Dongsu sent the letter to Chen Xingyao and told Yue Jian that if Chen came to Youzhou from Jeju, he would take him into the palace to see him this time.

Of course, after meeting Shen Dongsu, he would show no mercy and tell him to go back to Chang'an! What does it mean for the imperial envoy to stay in Youzhou for a long time?

She pretended that she was angry with Chen Xingyao about Chen Fang's matter, and at the same time acted like an ordinary woman after being angry, being unreasonable.

The imperial envoys were not allowed to enter the city. The main reason was to prevent them from seeing the prosperous Youzhou City with their own eyes.

Especially places such as the Craftsman Academy, Wanshu Pavilion, and the Chamber of Commerce. She still maintains this, writing a letter crying for poverty to the emperor every month to ask for military resources.

If the imperial mission brought back the true situation in Youzhou, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she would be embarrassed to cry.

Moreover, she had to prevent the imperial envoy from going to the base. She did not intend to announce the salt-drying method now, and maritime trade was still under the imperial court's ban.

Jiang's ships entered the port every day without being seen by the people above. If the court heard the slightest news, they would turn a blind eye.

After all, Jiang had previously applied to ship donated materials to Youzhou by sea. But if the imperial mission discovers it, the ship is mainly used for business.

The princelings will definitely hold on to him. After all, the Lu family used to control the maritime business. After the Lu family fell, the maritime trade was taken over by the Jiang family.

Anyway, she tried her best to block the imperial mission outside Youzhou City, thinking that they would leave soon after figuring out the case.

After all, few officials in Chang'an like to stay at the border for a long time. In the end, I don’t know what Chen Xingyao is thinking?

The case has been investigated, but he went to live with Chen's house in Jeju. The longer he stayed, the more details he found out about Youzhou, which was more disadvantageous to her.

She even suspected that Chen Xingyao's refusal to leave was intentional and he did not dare to openly say that he must go to Youzhou City.

So she stayed here in this patient way, waiting for her to become anxious and ask him to see him at the palace, and then she would leave.

So this time, she wrote a handwritten letter saying that she must drive Chen Xingyao away.

With the arrival of August, the people of Youzhou City began to be busy with the twice-a-year harvest season.

It was another round of large-scale holidays for workshops, and new recruits went to support the people in villages and towns outside the city.

In all the military hoarding areas, soldiers, men, women, and children went to battle. Even elementary schools had a ten-day autumn harvest holiday to help their families with the autumn harvest.

In this era when farmers are completely dependent on the weather, the summer wheat harvest competes with heavy rains, and the autumn rice harvest competes with the cold wave.

One year in early August, the weather was still autumn, very hot, and the people harvested rice slowly.

As a result, the weather suddenly turned cold in the middle of the month, and the harvested rice had not had time to crush the grains. They were all piled together and covered with linen cloth.

Unexpectedly, due to the huge temperature difference between inside and outside, after a few days of suffocation, all the millet sprouted. The people were confused and desperate, and cries could be heard throughout the countryside.

At that time, there was no government to help collect the harvest. The only thing the government did was to collect the autumn tax, scraping the ground three feet away to collect the autumn grain tax.

Seeing that the people were unable to pay taxes, they were about to be captured and forced to serve as official slaves. I also think about the coming cold winter, with lack of food and clothing, and I don’t know if the family can survive it?

They were forced to either marry their wives or have children, or their families abandoned their fields and homes and became refugees and fled into the mountains and forests.

Or the whole family could be pawned to a certain noble family and become its tenants or domestic slaves to escape this disaster.

What's even more frightening is that even if you finally pay your autumn taxes and save food and firewood for the whole family for the winter, you end up encountering Tatars who come to rob, kill and plunder...

The people of Youzhou lived in such darkness, living in numbness and despair year after year. Their lives were like leeks in the field, growing one after another.

Until the arrival of King Ling, the situation of Tatar invasion and autumn tax was alleviated.

And with the arrival of Princess Ling, there is no shortage of food and supplies for the winter.

Not only do we have plenty of food to stock up now, but even in the long cold winter, cats will no longer have to stay at home to avoid the cold.

Instead, you can work as a part-time worker in a workshop. The money you earn can not only help your family live a good year, but also buy grain seeds and rent cattle and farm tools next spring.

If there are several young and strong laborers in the family, the money saved in a year can still be used to repair the house and open up a few acres of wasteland.

Such a virtuous cycle has only been a few years since Princess Ling came to Youzhou, but the lives of the people of Youzhou have already been changed forever.

The situation in Youzhou is special. The military resources provided by the court alone are not enough to support so many soldiers.

And King Ling's expedition emptied out the warehouses in Youzhou. It is no exaggeration to say that horses can be raced in the granaries.

Rats would rather go to the homes of ordinary people than settle in the grain depots of the Youzhou government.

The summer grain tax is only enough to support the city's infrastructure for this half year. The only thing that managed to survive was the income from the princess's business.

It has been a long time since Shen Dongsu asked for cash profits from the Jiang family. All dividends were converted into grain. When the Jiang family's ships came to Youzhou, nine out of ten ships brought grain.

Officials were trembling with fear and lamented privately that even in a famine year, the government's granary would have to have at least three years of food in reserve to cope with the refugee crisis.

However, there is always not enough food in Youzhou. The number of soldiers is increasing, and the number of people is increasing. The harvest of the reclaimed fields was very small in the first year. When the refugees first arrived, they all had to rely on the government to support them.

Therefore, all members of Youzhou, from the princess and officials to the traders and servants, attach great importance to the autumn harvest.

Even Mr. Pang took his three classmates and masters to the experimental field to harvest.

The masters were reluctant at first, but when they heard that the experimental field was the seedlings raised by the princess, the rice seedlings were planted by the prince.

Now that the prince is on an expedition and the princess is pregnant, the burden of the autumn harvest falls on them.

Mr. Pang exaggeratedly said that there were many officials who wanted to take over the experimental field, but he was the one who snatched the job away.

The data of this experimental field must be retained in historical records, that is, the names of the autumn harvest personnel will be recorded together with Prince Ling and Princess Ling.

Now the three masters were all in high spirits, and they did not allow the boy to go to the fields and harvest with his own sickle.

It was also the first time that I experienced the difficulty of autumn harvest and the hardship of farmers in a systematic way.

She also admired Princess Ling more and more. Although she was already in a high position, her love for the fields remained unchanged.

Although Shen Dongsu has not gone to the fields, he is still worried. He looks at the stars every night and the clouds in the morning and evening.

She even turned over rocks to watch ants move. Yue Jian was helpless: "Princess, you can't accurately predict the weather based on these alone."

Shen Dongsu sighed lightly: "Of course I know, it's just a rough idea."

Since time travel, she has missed toilets and soft toilet paper, convenient search tools, delicious food, and everything in her previous life.

Only at this moment, what she missed the most was the 'weather forecast'.

Not only did she have to observe the weather, she also had to look at the data of each experimental field, especially the field farmed with Ling Moxiao.

At that time, the people did not believe in the method of raising seedlings and transplanting rice seedlings. It was not until the seedlings in the back field grew stronger than those in other fields that the people believed it.

Some people hurriedly tried to plant a few fields to learn how to do it, while others were afraid that they had missed the spring sowing and would not get any results after planting, so they planned to learn it again next year.
