With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly

Chapter 122: Grand Minister of Agriculture Asks Nan Yan for Advice

"Your Majesty, I would like to see the Queen."

Shang Yue paused in reviewing the memorials in his hand. He looked up and locked his deep eyes on the person below him, making the Minister of Agriculture feel for a moment that he seemed to have done something wrong.

The Minister of Agriculture understood immediately and explained, "The Queen has had people grow grain in the suburbs of Beijing, and the yield per mu is over 200 kilograms. I would like to ask the Queen for advice on how to increase grain production."

Shang Yue has not asked about this year's harvest, and does not know the charity hall's harvest.

Upon hearing this, the man's expression was momentarily shocked.

More than 200 kilograms???

He had never heard of wheat yielding more than 200 kilograms per mu.

This is a big deal.

Unexpectedly, Yan'er gave him another surprise. Shang Yue couldn't help feeling proud and his face flushed.

This is the woman who shares the throne with him. She is indeed extraordinary.

"Wang Dequan, send someone to invite the Queen over."

Two quarters of an hour later, Nan Yan brought the two children to the imperial study. There was no other way, as soon as they heard that she was going to the imperial study, they both insisted on coming.

"Father..."

"Father..."

As soon as the two children saw their father, they let go of Nan Yan's hands and ran towards him.

Seeing the two children, Shang Yue's already upturned mouth corners curled up even higher. He leaned over and picked up the two little guys who had run to his side and held them on his lap and sat them down.

"Your humble servant pays his respects to Her Majesty the Queen." The Minister of Agriculture stood up and saluted.

"No gift."

When Nan Yan saw the Minister of Agriculture, she knew why Shang Yue sent her here.

Tao Hong has sent someone to tell her about the grain yield from the dozens of acres of land near the charity hall this year.

The wheat yield was the highest ever in the history of the Shang Dynasty.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, please take a seat." Nan Yan pointed at the chair next to the Grand Minister of Agriculture with her slender white fingertips.

She took the seat opposite the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and with her fair and delicate hands she took a sip of the tea that had just been served by the palace servants. Her every move was a scene of beauty.

Even the Minister of Agriculture, who did not appreciate beauty, had to praise her after seeing her, saying that she truly had an angelic appearance.

No wonder the Emperor dotes on the Empress so much.

Whether in terms of knowledge, appearance or ability, he has never seen a woman who can compare to the Queen.

Nan Yan put the teacup on the table and went straight to the point: "Grand Minister of Agriculture, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know."

The Grand Minister of Agriculture was a person who was extremely admirable, and her tone of voice was particularly good.

The Grand Minister of Agriculture had been scratching his head in anxiety for a long time. After hearing what she said, he hurriedly said:

"I heard that the 50 mu of wheat planted by the Queen yielded more than 200 kilograms per mu. Last year, the yield of those fields was still 140 to 150 kilograms per mu. I would like to ask what method the Queen used to increase the wheat yield."

Although Nan Yan is an orphan in modern times, she grew up in an orphanage in the city and has never farmed. As for methods to improve soil fertility, she has only watched videos or heard about them in class.

In early spring, she first had people mix the ashes of rotten leaves in the mountains and various feces with soil and sprinkle them on the ground. Then she turned the land over before planting wheat.

I didn't expect it to actually work.

She told the Minister of Agriculture everything she knew.

Things like improving soil fertility, the more land is cultivated, the poorer it becomes... Many of these things were heard by the Minister of Agriculture for the first time, and he listened very carefully.

After hearing this, the Grand Minister of Agriculture could hardly believe his ears.

He never imagined that the Queen would use those dirty things to improve the fertility of the soil and thus increase wheat yields.

In this way, the dirty things are dealt with and the land becomes better. It is really a good way to make a lot of money.

The Minister of Agriculture stood up and bowed. "I have benefited a lot from listening to the Queen's words today. Thank you for your guidance."

The admiration on his face was beyond words.

Nan Yan said modestly: "As long as it is beneficial to the Minister of Agriculture."

The Grand Minister of Agriculture admired him even more for being so humble and not arrogant.

When the Grand Minister of Agriculture returned to the Ministry of Agriculture, he told everyone else everything Nan Yan had told him.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised questions.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, if you spread such filthy things on the ground, how can you eat the food that comes out?"

"Yes, from ancient times to now, I have never heard such a ridiculous statement."

"The soil is what it is, and it can also improve soil fertility and increase production. Isn't that a lie?"

"Grand Minister, are you mistaken?"

"..."

Listening to words full of doubt, the Minister of Agriculture's joy at learning about the increase in production instantly sank.

His face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Hasn't what we have been studying the problem of increasing food production? Now that we have a method, you are still questioning it. If you don't believe it, then why don't you come up with a good method."

He swept his eyes over the silent people in the room one by one and continued:

"Before the Queen had people plant those fields, the best harvest from the fields was only 170 kilograms. After she had people do this, the yield per mu reached more than 200 kilograms. Doesn't this prove that this method is correct?"

"Or do you think the Queen is lying to us?"

When the Queen was mentioned, everyone shook their heads.

What a joke! Even if they had some doubts in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything bad about the Queen.

The Grand Minister of Agriculture made the final decision, "Give orders to turn the soil this year according to the method the Empress said."

He would first conduct a trial in the land managed by the Ministry of Agriculture for a year, so that it would be convincing and could be popularized to other places.

.........

The sky was pitch black, with no sign of the moon. Only a few stars were blinking gently in the sky.

In Changle Palace, a fist-sized night pearl was emitting white light. On the large carved bed, a man in bright yellow pajamas pressed a woman with black hair like a waterfall under him, his chin resting on her shoulder.

He whispered in her ear, "Yan'er, how many abilities do you have that I don't know about?"

Water conservancy, charity halls, increasing grain production... every single thing is unpredictable.

Nan Yan curled her lips lightly, hugged the man's neck and said with a sweet smile: "I don't know how much ability I have. The rest of my life is so long, we can slowly explore it..."

Shuangbai and Subai found two potato fields on the mountains outside Beijing, totaling half an acre of land. She had people fence all the potatoes in.

Thinking of the potatoes that would be ripe in more than a month, Nan Yan smiled.

I wonder what his expression will be when he gets to know the news.

She would wait and see.

"Then tonight..." The man chuckled from his throat. Nan Yan felt that his laugh was meaningful. The situation was not good. Sure enough, the next second...

"Let me dig into your body first..."

She was clearly talking about serious matters, but this man became unserious.

The next second, the man's thin lips, as cool as water, covered the pink earlobe that was so close to him.
