"Daniu, how many acres of land do you plan to open up this year?"

Dazui was heading to his own fields when he saw his neighbor plowing the soil early in the morning.

"Just open up two acres. The wasteland has little fertility, and I'm afraid the harvest won't be good."

Daniel was a little hesitant.

He also heard from the village chief that the government now encourages land reclamation, and the reclaimed land belongs to him.

It sounds like a good thing, but it is not that easy to open up new land.

Not only is it laborious, but the wasteland is also barren. When the autumn harvest comes, not much grain can be grown and you still have to pay half of the land tax.

"Didn't you go to the county office to read the official newspaper yesterday?"

Big Mouth was speechless and choked.

This idiot just works hard in the fields and doesn't pay attention to any important news.

"The government has announced several composting methods, which are much better than just throwing manure water everywhere."

"Well, go and see for yourself. I'm going to plant some cotton and hope to sell it for a good price next year."

Ignoring the big cow that was standing there in a daze, Big Mouth waved his hand and blew his whistle as he walked towards the field.

This year he plans to plant a few more acres of cotton. Since the government doesn't collect taxes and he can sell it for money, he'll make money no matter how you look at it.

I am so smart!

On the other side, inside Changle Palace.

Ying Zheng was enjoying his leisure time in the afternoon with his lovely wife and young son in his arms.

At this moment, a man's report suddenly sounded outside the door.

Ying Zheng's face darkened, but he still called people in.

"Your Majesty, there is a farmer outside the Chu family courtyard who has been asking to see the Queen."

Black Ice Guard reported tremblingly, he didn't want to disturb His Majesty.

"Do I need to teach you this little thing?"

"A Zheng, bring him to the palace to meet him. Maybe he's a talent like Mo Ju."

Chu Yuening put the baby in the cradle and squeezed the man's big, broad hand.

"Search him and bring him here."

Ying Zheng's expression turned from gloomy to helpless.

Yue Ning's vigilance is too low, and some unidentified people may often have bad intentions.

But he was also unwilling to instill some dark and bloody things into Yue Ning, so he had to clean up the mess for her.

"yes!"

The Black Ice Guard heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that His Majesty did not punish him.

He was about to leave when the queen called him back.

"Hehe, A Zheng is the best! Can you bring A Ye and A Hua into the palace? They haven't seen the cub yet~"

"As you wish."

Ying Zheng didn't care about the two siblings. They were just two little brats and couldn't cause any trouble.

The Black Ice Guards are as efficient as ever.

In less than an hour, the farmer and the two siblings arrived.

Chu Yuening first met A Ye and A Hua, and comforted the two children with red eyes for a long time.

After asking about their studies, I let them go to the baby room to play with their babies for a while.

Chen Nong, who was waiting on the other side, felt extremely complicated at this moment.

He didn't expect that the person who invented the new agricultural tools, the composting method and the sweet potato planting was actually Lord Chu.

Moreover, Lady Chu is no longer the Internal Secretary of Zhisu, but the Queen.

Just as he was feeling uneasy and his thoughts were in turmoil, a voice of summons came from the hall.

Led by the palace maid, Chen Nong came to the inner hall, and as soon as he entered, he bowed down and knelt.

Ying Zheng was still hesitant to shout, and a terrifying aura of oppression still emanated from his body.

Chu Yuening, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch any longer and asked in a gentle voice,

"Get up! Who are you? What's the important matter that you want to see me about?"

Chen Nong stood up slowly as if he had been pardoned, still keeping his head down and his eyes submissive.

"I am a descendant of a farming family. I seek an audience with the goddess because of the millstone."

"Oh? You also want to join me as a disciple?"

Talent in agronomy, not bad.

Chu Yuening was in a good mood.

"If the Queen is willing to take me in, Chen will do his utmost to serve me."

"Good, then would you be willing to compile a farming book? I'd like to compile my experiences with sweet potato and cotton planting, and record new farming tools."

It is precisely because Chu Yuening has witnessed thousands of years of history that she deeply understands how important knowledge integration and inheritance are.

"I'm willing! Chen will devote all his energy to it!"

Chen Nong was so excited that his body was shaking.

Isn’t the greatest honor of being a descendant of a farming family to write books and benefit the people?

What the Queen gave him was not a task, but a reward.

After all, no one would refuse to have their name appear gloriously in the family tree.

Listening to the sincere words of this honest man, Chu Yuening nodded with satisfaction. She liked such diligent subordinates.

After the two finished their conversation, Ying Zheng still hadn't expressed anything.

Chu Yuening had no choice but to pinch his waist secretly.

Ying Zheng felt a numbness in his waist from being pinched by his wife. He quickly clamped the rebellious little hand and then spoke lightly.

"Since the Queen admires you so much, I will grant you the position of agricultural official to manage the compilation of agricultural books."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your and the Queen's trust."

Chen Nong kowtowed again.

In the past, he had never thought that he could become an official of the Qin Dynasty and become famous by compiling agricultural books.

Grandpa, your grandson lives up to the name you gave him. I, Chen Nong, will definitely pass on agronomy!

After Chen Nong was taken away by Zhao Gao and settled, Chu Yuening withdrew her hand and snorted coldly.

"I worked so hard to recruit talent for you, and you treat me like this."

"Yuening, I was wrong. I will punish you as you wish."

Ying Zheng was already accustomed to women's unreasonable behavior.

But he knew that Yue Ning was only thinking about him.

The Mohists have already demonstrated their capabilities with cement and farm tools, but I wonder what kind of surprises this farmer will bring?

"Then let me touch you tonight."

Chu Yuening rolled her eyes. Recently, A Zheng no longer let her touch his abdominal muscles.

If Ying Zheng hadn't been with her every day, Chu Yuening would have thought he had another dog outside.
