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

After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic people in the military area, all the New Year's gifts they brought were distributed, and the empty carriage returned to the palace first to pick up the New Year's gifts that the Princess wanted to give to the students of Wanshu Pavilion.

    Shen Dongsu's carriage went slowly to Wanshu Pavilion. Although the snow on the road had been swept away, the remaining snow stains had already turned into hard ice. If you walked too fast, it would easily slip.

    Therefore, it is better to go slower than to bump into the princess. Passing by the Juntun field area, I looked around and saw the green wheat seedlings and rapeseed covered with heavy frost-like white snow.

    Groups of sparrows are flying in the fields, and occasionally yellow dogs chase sparrows along the field embankments. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and few people are working in the fields.

    However, when we walked to a vegetable garden covered with greenhouses, we saw many people coming in and out. When we saw the princess's carriage in the distance, they all ran to the roadside to salute and wish them a happy New Year.

    Shen Dongsu greeted the people with great interest and took a closer look at the greenhouse. It was very well built. He had obviously learned it from Guangzhou seriously.

    Naturally, no one in the military area has been to Gwangju. This was guided by the guards from Gwangju.

    Because there is no way to divert hot spring water here, there are not many winter vegetables that can be grown.

    There are only several types of garlic sprouts, black and white cabbage, spinach, lettuce, mustard greens, and young rapeseed. These types can be grown outdoors and are extremely cold-resistant. However, the winter in Youzhou is too cold and the land is too barren.

    Even if ordinary people plant, their harvests will be limited. They will be eaten by birds and rats, or crushed to death by too thick snow. It grows very well in the greenhouse. There are more and more restaurants in Youzhou City, and winter green vegetables are very popular.

    Not only is it expensive, you also need to have connections to buy it. Because the Academy of Agricultural Sciences taught them to fertilize, the winter vegetables grow thick green leaves that are extremely tender.

    After the imperial envoys ate it, they all said privately that it was better than the winter vegetables grown by the Wen Tang Supervisor in Chang'an, which was specially provided for the royal family.

    The nobles in Chang'an all grew winter vegetables on their own estates, many of which were diverted from hot spring water. However, more people were willing to grow flowers and fewer vegetables.

    Even if the people of Chang'an are rich, it is not easy to eat green food in winter. It is said that one year the snow was so heavy that the fat sheep from the north were not sent to Chang'an for a while. The most expensive mutton was 700 Wen per pound, while green vegetables cost 800 A pound of text!

    Really sky-high price! And even money can’t buy it.

    The imperial mission followed Chen Xingyao, a scammer, to stay in Youzhou City for the New Year. Naturally, they were full of complaints at first, but they soon discovered that the living standard in Youzhou City was actually quite high.

    Although some complex and high-end cuisines are not available, mutton, venison, and green vegetables, which are the most popular ingredients among the rich in Chang'an in winter, can be eaten in Youzhou.

    Moreover, the hot pot in Youzhou actually tastes better than that in Chang'an. It is said that it is because the Jiang family in Chang'an made it and learned the cooking techniques from Princess Ling's cook.

    But Youzhou is an authentic hotpot, taught by Princess Ling herself. She often introduces new pot bases, improves the pots and stoves, and cooks and rinses them at the same time.

    Eating fresh mutton or venison, paired with fine wine and soup made from fresh seafood is delicious.

    The officials of the imperial envoy, big and small, moved into Youzhou City. They were nervous and angry from the beginning. They wanted to return to Chang'an as soon as possible and leave this place of right and wrong.

    As a result, after moving in, no one complained soon. The food was good and the accommodation was comfortable. Although the house was small, it was extremely warm and comfortable.

    Many of the furniture are not found in Changan. There are sofas covered with thick blankets, fireplaces built into the walls, thick carpets, whale oil-burning lamps that are very bright, and glass-like windows that allow you to enjoy the outside without opening the windows. The shadowy scenery.

    The New Year atmosphere in the city is also very strong. Although they don't want to admit it and insist that it is far worse than Chang'an, they know in their hearts that it is not much worse.

    It lacks Chang'an's thousands of years of cultural heritage and capital style, but compared to other states and cities, it is already excellent.

    The lanterns were lit up like fire dragons, the fireworks were more varied, and the orchestra performed a new choral performance, although it was not as eye-catching as the Chang'an courtesan.

    But those young people who were full of energy sang songs that were passionate, homesick, New Year greetings, or ideals. Listening to them made people's blood boil, and they couldn't help but join in the chorus.

    Wanshu Pavilion has a rich collection of books. In the cultural square, there are often musicians playing, painters painting on site, and taverns and teahouses also have a northern flavor.

    There are also a dazzling array of products for sale. Rare overseas items that are rare even in Chang'an are often sold in Youzhou City. The imperial mission's purses were emptied by these rare items.

    As long as you don't think about it, the Tatars will attack this city at any time, and simply enjoy the moment, then Youzhou is indeed a very suitable city to live in.

    The only thing that makes people dissatisfied is that Princess Ling has firmly banned casinos and brothels. This ban is not just a talk. Officials in many places also say that casinos are prohibited.

    But everyone knows that casinos make money! Casinos and brothels can make more money than ordinary businesses, and the Golden Cave is not just talk.

    However, these two industries in Youzhou are written into the express laws. As long as they are caught, they will be sent to the hard labor team at the least, or they will be sentenced to crime slavery at the worst.

    Well, Youzhou does not have the punishment of expulsion and exile, and even serious criminals who have been exiled from the imperial court to other places deliberately come to Youzhou.

    Youzhou is so short of people, especially people who are capable of doing coolies like mining. I heard that even if you go to jail, you won't be locked in a dark cell like other places.

    In Youzhou, those who sit in jail are considered slaves, and they also have to work.

    Some people thought that the princess was just talking. Everyone knew that the princess cooperated with the Jiang family on a lot of business. It can be seen that the princess was short of money. If she was caught, she would be more filial, and she would definitely not ban it.

    Then, whether they were running gambling dens privately or running prostitution parlors, they were all thoroughly investigated, and they were arrested directly by the city patrol camp without being handled by the government officials.

    If you want to give gifts, you can't find anyone to give them. Those soldiers are not like slippery government officials who can be accommodating to you. If they dare to resist, they will kill you on the spot and you can't find anyone to reason with you.

    In particular, abducting girls into secret prostitution houses is a first-rate felony, and they don't even have the chance to become slaves.

    The princess directly said that no matter how short of manpower there is, such beasts cannot be left here. Beheading their heads and hanging their bodies at the market entrance is their final destination...

    They were punished repeatedly, and with the many workshops in Youzhou City, people at the bottom could find a way to survive, so no woman was willing to do the prostitution business.

    There are really no gambling houses or brothels in Youzhou City. If you want to listen to music and watch operas, there are serious places. There are teahouses that sell music and singing, and there are also serious opera troupes in the troupe.

    Although the imperial mission regretted not having a famous prostitute accompanying them, they could only endure it.

    But she said that Shen Dongsu took a look at the vegetables in the greenhouse and had no intention of getting out of the car and going in for inspection. It is estimated that if she really got out of the car and walked around, the stewards inside could take away the bald fields for her.

    While it's still early, I quickly went to Wanshu Pavilion to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Pang and several of his old classmates. They are the mainstay of Youzhou's education community and cannot be neglected.

    When she returned to the palace before lunch, she still had to feed the babies. If she didn't feed her babies when they were engorged, they would easily return to the milk supply. In severe cases, they would become inflamed and the milk supply would gradually decrease.

    She sighed, she didn't even have maternity leave. Ling Mo Xiao, come back quickly! I need to take a vacation!

    Yue Jian glanced at her, and the princess said that if she was really given a holiday, she would definitely spend time in the laboratory and study new things.

    The princess is someone who can't sit still. Just like some old farmers said, if she doesn't go to the fields for three days, her bones will hurt.
