Chapter 532: Work is not yet in place
Looking at the people in the room in front of him, Deputy General Zhao was so scared that his tail turned cold.
“…………“
This must be a real matter! Otherwise, the village heads wouldn't all come here.
Looking at the confused Lord Zhao, an old man standing in front bowed.
"Master Zhao, we came here today because we have something to tell you!"
"Oh, you said." Deputy General Zhao nodded mechanically.
My heart was in my throat.
Look! I actually guessed it right.
Several old men looked back at the people in the room and then looked at him again.
"Sir, this room is too small. Why don't we go to the yard and talk? That way everyone can hear us."
The old man pointed in the direction of the yard outside. They came together today to discuss something with the adults. If the people outside couldn't hear them, then it would be a waste of their trip.
Following the direction of his finger, Lieutenant General Zhao looked into the yard and nodded mechanically.
"good."
When I arrived in the yard and saw it was full of people, I was shocked again.
I've never gathered them together before, and I didn't expect there would be so many people.
When they saw him come out, everyone bowed to him.
"Hello, Lord Zhao!"
"Hello, everyone!" Deputy General Zhao nodded as a return of greeting, and then looked at the people in front of him.
"I wonder if you all came here today to discuss something with Zhao."
His voice was shaking a little when he spoke, and he prayed countless times in his heart that nothing would happen to the grain seeds, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the prince.
An old man with a white beard standing in the front, who was obviously the leader, waved his hand towards the people behind him, signaling everyone to be quiet.
His gaze turned again to Deputy General Zhao in front of him.
"Master Zhao, we came here today to discuss with you the matter of installing a glass cover on the pit."
"Put a glass cover on the pit...?!"
Deputy General Zhao was stunned and stared at the old man in front of him in confusion. It was obvious that he didn't understand what he meant.
Haven't their greenhouses been repaired a long time ago, and the corn seeds are almost harvested, so could there be any damage?
I became even more worried, afraid that there might be something wrong with the seeds.
"Yes, to be honest with you, Master Zhao, the villagers in our villages have spontaneously organized to dig some pits and would like to cover them with glass covers. I came here today to discuss this with you."
"Oh!" Deputy General Zhao's eyes lit up.
It turned out that the problem was not with the food. He felt relieved and in high spirits, and spread his hands towards the people in front of him.
"In that case, let's sit down and talk so we don't get tired from standing for too long."
Looking at the huge crowds of people in front of me, I felt that the air was stale, so I thought of asking everyone to sit down to avoid the congestion.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in front of him sat down on the ground, and Deputy General Zhao suddenly felt that the situation in front of him was much clearer.
Smiling, he looked at the old man in front of him.
"Please tell me more!"
"Okay." The old man nodded, and was about to stand up when he was stopped by Deputy General Zhao again.
"Just sit down and talk!"
Seeing that the old man's head was covered with sweat, I thought he must be very busy rushing here, so I thought of asking him to sit down and talk so that he could take his time.
"Thank you, sir."
The old man sat down again with gratitude. He had come here early in the morning and was indeed tired.
After taking a deep breath, he began to talk about business.
"Sir, since we finished the work in the greenhouse, each of our villages has spontaneously organized to dig pits, and we have already dug out quite a few.
I came here today to ask for your help and to speak in front of the prince and princess.
Could you please help us put a glass cover over the pit, and let us pay you back after we sell the grain?"
The old man spoke sincerely, and the village heads following behind him also looked at Deputy General Zhao eagerly.
The technician said that even if the greenhouse is not covered with glass, the temperature inside is higher than outside.
That's when I thought of digging one or two more for each household, so that we can grow more food and sell more for silver.
But as I dug more and more into the greenhouse, I felt a little sorry when I saw that there was no glass cover on it.
Only then did I think of coming to discuss with Lord Zhao whether I could help them cover the greenhouse with a glass cover first.
By then, we will be able to grow a lot of high-yield crops just like the greenhouse at our doorstep.
"When did you start digging?" Deputy General Zhao's eyes lit up.
This really surprised him. It seemed that he had not done his job well enough and didn't even know that they had dug so many pits.
"Your Excellency, we've already started digging the pit since the cabbages in our greenhouse started to be sold."
A middle-aged man who was slightly younger than him took over the conversation.
Ever since the first batch of cabbages in the greenhouse were sold for money, they realized that the greenhouse was a treasure, so they gathered the villagers together.
Everyone agreed to dig the pit together. At first, only one or two villages offered to help.
Later, when other villages heard about it, the village heads also held meetings with the villagers, and they unanimously passed the proposal and followed suit.
Before anyone knew it, the entire Qingzhou Prefecture had taken action. Not only women and children participated, but even the elderly with good mobility joined in.
A few months passed, and many pits had been dug in the fields that had already cracked.
"Oh." Deputy General Zhao nodded.
He felt more and more that his work was not up to standard. After thinking for a while, he looked up at the people in front of him.
"How about this, I'll go to the pit you dug in the next two days to see what's going on. Then I can report truthfully to the prince and princess."
When everyone heard this, they immediately showed joy on their faces. They stood up from the ground and bowed to Deputy General Zhao.
"We thank you, Lord Zhao!"
They still have a good impression of Lord Zhao in front of them. He is much better than the corrupt official Zhou Quan.
If not, no one would talk about this with such a flattering face.
After everyone left, Deputy General Zhao no longer had the heart to drink and eat elbows. He changed into light clothes, took two followers with him, and rode his horse to the villages.
On the other side, when Qin Chuchu opened her eyes, it was almost time for dinner.
"Huh?" He sat up and was confused for a long time, and couldn't figure out how he got back.
He jumped out of bed, kicked off his shoes and ran out.
When we ran to the greenhouse, everyone was still busy digging out seeds.
But everyone had picked all the beans and cucumber seeds.
Hundreds of people are working hard to sow tomato seeds.
Seeing the princess running towards them with her hair in a mess again, the others just looked up with no expression on their faces.
Because I'm used to it!
Murong Bai did frown.
“…………”
This girl really doesn't care about her image. It's obvious that she just got out of bed.
Qin Chuchu didn't care about that. Seeing the living devil using the small wooden stick in his hand to poke the tomato seeds, she suddenly became excited.
"Your Majesty, this concubine can do it too!"
