Chapter 341 Inspection 4
The young man came up, glanced at the nobles in gorgeous clothes, and then looked at the lady in front of him.
"Auntie, are you looking for me?"
"Of course! Young man, tell me quickly on my behalf, what are the benefits of sticky corn?"
The old woman pointed to the cornfield in front of her, then turned and looked at Master Sun and the others.
"My Lords, this young man is a technician sent by the Prince and Princess. If you have any questions, just ask him. He knows much more than I do."
"Oh? Technician?"
Tutor Sun looked at the young man in front of him with curiosity, obviously not understanding the word.
The young man glanced at Zhou Quan who was standing at the back, remembered what the prince had said before, and began to explain patiently.
"My Lords, I am responsible for the greenhouse cultivation technology in this village. This is sticky corn, which normally matures in about 100 days.
But now that they are planted in this greenhouse, the maturity period will be advanced by at least a few days... "
He pointed to the cornfield in front of him and gave a detailed explanation.
After talking about corn, he took them to the field of Chinese cabbage and gave them another detailed explanation.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, especially General Cheng, who was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
A pair of eyes were not enough, and I looked around the greenhouse. If you didn't know, you would think you were in a paradise.
Just look at the densely packed cabbages on the wall and the well that you have never seen before. There are dozens of wells, enough to eat. How can you be hungry?
Tutor Sun also nodded continuously as he listened. Everyone knew that the Sixth Prince was a good fighter, but he never expected that he was so talented in planting as well.
Looking at the green everywhere in front of me, I feel indescribably happy.
Only the Marquis of Yongning had a long old face.
Looking at the lush underground greenhouse in front of me, I couldn't help but admire Han Muchen. He is really capable.
If this becomes popular throughout the entire Dayu Kingdom, the people will no longer suffer from hunger.
Zhou Quan's face was also unhappy. Since these troglodyte houses had never been touched by him before, he was too lazy to come here to take a look.
Now he was really surprised when he saw it, and he couldn't help but admire Han Muchen for being able to come up with such a trick.
As several people were looking around with their own thoughts, an anxious voice came from the door.
"Mom, why are you eating this?"
“…………”Everyone turned around.
It turned out to be the old woman who had been riding in the ox cart just now. She was pulling a piece of corn leaf and was about to stuff it into her mouth, but was stopped by her daughter.
"This is much more delicious than that tree bark. Why can't I eat it?"
As the old woman was talking, she was still stuffing the food into her mouth, but the woman snatched it away from her.
"Mom, please don't eat it. This is for the livestock. Please bear with me for a while. I will make you something to eat soon!"
As the woman spoke, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked up quickly.
“…………” Master Sun and the others frowned.
After a brief hesitation, he came forward.
"Old sister-in-law, where are you from? Is there no food at home?"
I saw this woman coming here in a bullock cart before, so I guess she's not from this place. I don't know where she is from, but she has reached the point of eating tree bark.
Looking at the distinguished guests in front of her, the old woman sighed.
"My home is not far from here, in Jinzhou Prefecture. We've run out of food at home. We've dug up all the wild vegetables in the mountains."
As he spoke, he pulled a piece of cabbage from the wall and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it impatiently.
It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten something so juicy. I don’t know if it’s just a psychological effect, but I feel it’s sweet.
“…………”Teacher Sun.
He glanced at the people around him and frowned even more tightly.
Jinzhou Prefecture is the fief of the second prince. A few days ago, I heard that he bought another house for drinking tea in the capital.
The people's lives are so hard, but he still has so much free time. They are both princes, so why is there such a big difference between them?
“…………”Marquis Yongning stared at the old woman in front of him with dissatisfaction.
This damn old woman actually said everything. I'm afraid that after they go back, these two old women will try to deceive the Second Prince again.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with your leg?"
Tutor Sun pointed at the old woman's bent legs again. He had only half understood what she said before and didn't quite get it.
Following the direction of his finger, the old woman patted her knees.
"Alas, I am old and useless. Last winter was very cold and my old cold legs came back. Not only could I not straighten them, I couldn't even walk.
My mother-in-law's cold legs have been cured since she moved into this greenhouse, so my daughter sent me a message to come here.
Let me live in this greenhouse and see if I can cure my old cold legs!"
As the old woman spoke, she pointed to the small house dug out in the wall.
I've been in there just now. It's warm and comfortable inside.
Only then did they notice that there was a small house inside the wall, and they hurriedly walked in.
There are two rooms in total, a bedroom and a kitchen, which together are about 40 to 50 square meters and are very clean.
Tutor Sun stretched his neck and looked around. It was still quite hot in the greenhouse, but it was very comfortable inside.
"You mean living here can cure old cold legs?"
He pointed at the small house in front of him in confusion. Before the old woman could say anything, her daughter came in with a plate of dumplings.
"That's right. My mother-in-law hasn't had any cold legs since she moved in here. Not only that, it saves a lot of firewood here."
As she spoke, she handed the vegetable dumplings on the plate to my mother.
"Mom, please eat first, the meal will be ready soon!"
Looking at the vegetable dumplings wrapped in golden cornmeal and green vegetables, the old woman was no longer afraid of being laughed at by others. She reached out and touched one and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Just looking at the people in front of him, they all had tightly frowned brows. It was obvious that this old woman had not had a full meal for a while.
Led by the young technician, the group walked almost the entire village.
Without exception, every household’s pit greenhouse is lush and green.
When the people heard that a high-ranking official had come from the capital, they lost their fear and spoke their minds openly.
These were undoubtedly words of gratitude to Han Muchen and Qin Chuchu.
When talking about the exciting part, many people were wiping away tears. If the two of them were present at that moment, they would undoubtedly kneel down in front of them.
Looking at the rosy faces of the villagers and listening to their heartfelt words of gratitude, not only General Cheng was moved, but even Grand Tutor Sun felt proud.
The Sixth Prince is truly a role model for the royal family. He can lead troops to kill enemies on the battlefield, and even when he is under house arrest, he still cares about the people, making these old men feel ashamed.
Even the Marquis of Yongning, who had remained silent, had to admire in his heart that the Sixth Prince was indeed a man capable of shouldering great responsibilities.
It’s a pity that he is not my sister’s son, otherwise I would support him at all costs.
I thought I would rush back after the inspection, but I couldn't resist the repeated invitations of the old woman who gave me the silver before, so I had dinner at her house before setting off to return to the capital.
As the sky outside gradually darkened, Han Muchen tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers, guessing that General Cheng and the others should have left.
While I was thinking about it, Butler Liu walked in happily from outside.
"Your Majesty, it's done!"
