Chapter 369 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix

If you don’t work hard today, you will not only owe the Crown Prince’s wife but also starve to death!

Hearing other people, even acquaintances, discussing this, the family panicked and broke out in cold sweats:

“No, no, we are a lucky family with elderly parents and children to take care of, how dare we be lazy!”

Ji Min asked angrily: “If you are not lazy, why did you plant the seedlings so shallowly?”

The other party was embarrassed by Ji Min’s question: “I, we are not lazy, really not…”

“I, we just think that if we plant so deep, the seedlings will not grow well.”

“In the future, when we plant grain, we will just scatter the grain seeds in the field and then be done with it.”

"This is the first time we're transplanting seedlings this year. We're worried that we'll plant too deep and delay the harvest..."

They were clearly doing this to make the crops grow better, so that we can have more harvests in the future and get more princesses.

Isn't this a good thing?

Who would have thought that planting too deep would not only not affect the growth of the crops, but would actually cause them to die if they planted too shallowly...

Faced with this result, the family was in tears.

Ji Min was so angry that he was helpless: "You guys are so smart."

"It doesn't matter if you are not smart, as long as you are honest and dutiful. The problem is that you are doing this and that..."

"You don't even listen to the Crown Prince's wife, what do you want to do!"

"Look, now this matter has become a mess, how are you going to solve it, what will happen to your whole family in the future, are you going to starve to death?"

"You are really going to kill your own smartness!"

Zhu Xuntao sighed along with him. He had only heard of the story of forcing the growth of seedlings by pulling them up, and

today he also made up an allusion of forcing the growth of shallow seeds, which was really weird.

"Oh my God, how can we live like this..."

It was certain that it was indeed their own fault and it had nothing to do with others. The family

couldn't stand it and directly collapsed on the ridge of the field and cried uncontrollably.

Jimin turned his face away and said nothing more.

It's not that he, as the temporary village chief, was unwilling to help them, but he didn't have the face to say it.

They did it all by themselves, who could they blame?

If this family had the Crown Prince's Consort in their heart, they only needed to be obedient, and such a thing would never happen.

Uncle Qian was troubled by the crying of that family, and he was also unwilling to plead for them.

He could understand everything, but he couldn't understand why they put the blame on Zhu Xuntao because they were anxious.

This was absolutely not allowed.

Others saw that they were crying so pitifully, and they could only sympathize with them, but no one could help them.

Zhu Xuntao took out a handkerchief and wiped off the mud and water on his hands: "Okay, stop crying."

"If you want these seedlings, I have a way to give them to you."

As soon as Zhu Xuntao said this, the crying voices stopped.

"However, because you used two batches of seedlings, the amount you pay after the harvest will definitely be different from the original agreement."

"I want 70%, and you can only keep 30%. Are you willing?"

The remaining 30% of the grain may not be enough to fill your stomach, but it will definitely not starve you to death.

"This..."

The family hesitated at first, but fortunately they figured it out quickly.

They should pay the 70% of the grain as a lesson.

What's more, if they don't agree, they will have no harvest.

Compared with having no harvest, of course it is better to keep 30%.

It was the same old saying, everything was caused by oneself, and one must swallow the bitter fruit.

The Crown Princess was willing to give them another chance, which was a sign of her great kindness and justice, and she would not bother with these unruly people.

Thinking of how they had just made a fuss, the men and women of this family could not raise their heads or straighten their backs in front of Zhu Xuntao.

"Thank you, Princess. We are willing to give you 70% of the grain."

"We were at fault first, and you spent two batches of seedlings. Thank you for giving our family a chance to survive."

"Thank you, Princess..."

"Thank you, Princess..."

Zhu Xuntao nodded: "Since you all agree, let's hurry up and pull out these dead seedlings."

"I will naturally send new seedlings to the farm. You can go to Uncle Qian more often in the next few days to ask."

"If the same thing happens again..."

Really, if someone wants to kill themselves with stupidity, she will definitely not stop it.

"No, no, absolutely not."

The family repeatedly assured that they were not afraid of the dark even though they had seen ghosts.

Whether it was potatoes or transplanting rice, all the work was arranged by the Princess.

The experience of these old farmers is totally useless in front of the Crown Prince's Consort.

If they want to have something to eat in the future and don't want to starve to death, they should just listen to the Crown Prince's Consort's instructions.

After solving this matter, Zhu Xuntao decided to leave amidst the grateful eyes of everyone.

Who knew that she was destined to be stuck in this step today.

If the family just now planted too shallowly and almost all the seedlings died,

then this family is exactly the opposite of that family.

It is clearly the same batch of seedlings of the same size, but after this family planted the seedlings, their seedlings were much shorter than those of other families.

There is no need to pull them out by hand. How easy it was for the family just now to pull them out is how difficult it is for this family.

Sure enough, where there is a sleeping dragon, there must be phoenixes.

Now, Wolong and Fengchi are complete, not one is missing.

Zhu Xuntao is upset and asks Uncle Qian: "Uncle Qian, is it really that hard to be obedient?"

"Do you have to insist on not taking the usual path?"

Uncle Qian: "..."

Very good, at this moment, he can fully understand the feelings of the Crown Prince's wife.

There are too many smart people among these disaster victims!

Uncle Qian took a deep breath and asked Ji Min: "Which family is this land distributed to?"

"Hurry up and pull up the rice seedlings while they are still alive."

"You can't plant them too shallowly or too deep!"

"Princess, today I really admire your previous arrangements."

"You worked so hard to check the situation of each disaster victim's home, and then arranged the corresponding paddy fields according to the number of people in these disaster victims' homes."

"This decision is absolutely right."

"Whether you plant well or badly, how much grain you harvest and how much food you eat depends on how much effort you put in and how smart you are. You can't blame others!" You want

to be lazy, right? Anyway, whoever is lazy will be hungry.

Look at this person who likes to show off his intelligence. Will he have a good life in the future?

Sure enough, as long as the decision is made by the Crown Princess, it is not wrong.
