Chapter 718 Donating Cabbages

In the next few days, a donation trend swept across the entire Dayu Kingdom.

The news quickly spread to the Far North. After two days of recruitment and selection, another 200,000 people were selected to work in the pit greenhouses to take care of vegetables.

Because it is daily care, two people are enough in each greenhouse, and couples are also selected.

Firstly, it is considered that not all work in a greenhouse requires physical effort, there is also delicate work, which women can do more easily.

Men receive one or two taels of silver per month, and women receive 600 coins. The families that are chosen are extremely happy.

The monthly income increased by nearly two taels of silver, which was a lot of money for an ordinary family.

The families that were not selected were also upset, but Butler Liu also said that they would still recruit people after the pits on the rice farm were built, so they felt a little relieved.

In order to quickly divide the vegetables in the greenhouse, Han Muchen specially transferred the 400,000 soldiers who were digging pits over.

This kind of concentrated and large-scale work is definitely not something that can be done by just the two people who maintain the greenhouse.

Seeing baskets of cabbages being carried out of the greenhouse and piled up as high as a mountain, Butler Liu looked at Han Muchen in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with these cabbages?"

The cabbage produced in this greenhouse alone weighs tens of thousands of kilograms. If all the cabbages in the greenhouses are distributed, I'm afraid it will be more than tens of millions of kilograms.

I can’t eat so much, and I can’t sell it all at once. I’m really in a dilemma.

“………………”Han Muchen didn’t say anything.

He glanced at Qin Chuchu who was walking over and raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?"

Qin Chuchu ran over happily. From a distance, she saw the man smiling, and she didn't know what made him so happy.

"nothing."

A calculating look flashed across the man's eyes. He grabbed Qin Chuchu's soft little hand and pointed to the pile of cabbages piled up like a mountain in front of him.

"This is the cabbage I've divided up these past two days. What do you think I should do with it, my beloved?"

"Huh? So many! They must have been sold!"

Looking at the mountain of cabbages in front of her, Qin Chuchu didn't think so much.

It is definitely impossible to eat it. There is no other way except to sell it. Cabbage is a rare commodity here. I think it can be sold for a lot of money.

"Now that disasters have hit all parts of the country, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sell."

As the man spoke, he looked at the heartless Qin Chuchu.

If she looked up at this moment, she would find that the cunningness in the man's eyes had been successfully misleading.

“Is the disaster serious?”

"Well, most of the homes were damaged and the houses collapsed."

"Is it that serious? Did Qingzhou Prefecture also suffer a disaster?"

Qin Chuchu frowned and looked at the man. Come to think of it, it was raining so hard, and they were all adobe houses with no drainage facilities. It would be strange if the houses didn't collapse.

"Qingzhou Prefecture is fine. Although some buildings have collapsed, it's not a big problem. They've dug rooms inside the greenhouses and live inside when it rains. The damage isn't serious."

The man smiled as he looked at the little face in front of him. This was all thanks to Chuchu.

When the greenhouse was being dug, she was the one who suggested that we dig two rooms, but I actually didn't quite agree with it.

After all, the greenhouse is intended for them to grow things, and now it seems that Chuchu is right.

Thanks to the people who dug houses in the greenhouse, they had a place to live during the heavy rain, otherwise there would have been casualties.

Thinking of this, he looked at Qin Chuchu with a calculating look on his face.

"My dear, people from all over the country are donating supplies. How much silver do you think we should donate?"

As he said that, he took Qin Chuchu's other hand in his and began to knead it curiously.

"Hmm...how much did others donate?"

Qin Chuchu looked at the man. Although she felt pain in her heart, she knew that she couldn't avoid this matter.

Since everyone else has donated, we have to donate too. What's more, this living devil is a prince, so he might even take the lead in donating more.

"Although there is no limit, ordinary officials have donated 50,000 taels of silver. It would not be good if we donate too little."

"Hmm..." Qin Chuchu didn't say anything.

Blinking his big eyes, he looked at the man in front of him. Ordinary officials donated 50,000 taels of silver.

The living devil would have to donate hundreds of thousands of taels, and he would be heartbroken.

Seeing Chuchu's painful expression, he wanted to know what she was thinking, and the man smiled with satisfaction.

"In fact, there is no need to donate money. Donating supplies is also fine."

"Supplies?" Qin Chuchu frowned.

I looked at the man in confusion, wondering what supplies they could donate.

The man tried his best to control the upward curve of his mouth and pointed to the mountain of cabbages behind him.

"Why don't we donate these cabbages? The people are suffering from disasters and can't even find wild vegetables. I think these cabbages can be of some use."

Following the direction of the man's finger, Qin Chuchu looked at the mountain of cabbages beside her, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is this also possible?"

She looked at the mountain of cabbages in front of her. Although she could sell them for some silver, it wouldn't be much, but it was better than donating the silver.

"Yes, the people should really need it now."

The man tried his best to control the smile on his face and smiled cunningly again.

The adults and Butler Liu standing by couldn't help laughing.

Princess Chen is so naive that she thinks there is only this mountain of cabbages. It is just a pile of cabbages from a greenhouse.

After all the cabbages are distributed in the 100,000 greenhouses, I'm afraid this place will be filled with cabbages.

If this rare cabbage were sold, it would be worth more than one million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver.

Princess Chen didn't know that she had lost a lot of money this time, but she was also relieved for the prince's righteousness.

It is not easy to take care of the lives of the people without taking advantage of the disaster to seek personal gain.

But Qin Chuchu didn't know all this. She really thought that the cabbages in front of her were all that mattered. After hearing what the man said, she readily agreed.

"Well, let's donate the cabbages!"

I can't eat so much anyway, so it's good to be able to donate it. The most important thing is that I don't have to spend money.

Seeing Chuchu so happy, the man could no longer hold back the smile on his lips.

"Okay, I'll do as you say, my dear."

The goal was achieved!

If I hadn't said this, Chuchu would definitely feel sad. But now, not only will she not feel sad, but she will feel like she has gained something.

Qin Chuchu really thought so. By donating these cabbages, she wouldn't have to donate money. It was a good deal no matter how she thought about it.

Just when I was feeling proud of myself, Feng Liu came running over in a hurry.

"Princess, someone from Qingzhou Prefecture is here, and they're looking for you!"

"Looking for me?" Qin Chuchu was stunned.

He pointed at himself in confusion. There was no one he knew there, and he didn't know why they were looking for him.

"Well, there are still quite a few coming!" Feng Liu nodded and pointed to the square.

Following the direction of his finger, Qin Chuchu also looked towards the square, then looked at the man next to her in confusion before walking over.

The princess was seen coming from a distance, and the village heads came to greet her.

"Princess. I came here today to ask you when the children can come to school."

“………………” Qin Chuchu was stunned.

Oh my! They still remember this!
