Feng Qingzi took possession of Princess Zhao. Although he looked like a country bumpkin, his words and deeds revealed his domineering aura that made him the king of the world!
Princess Zhao had met Feng Qingzi before. That day, Feng Qingzi, disguised as the Fifth Prince, came to Prince Zhao's mansion. Prince Zhao treated him with great respect, and many people in the mansion witnessed it. Although they didn't know his background, they naturally didn't dare to underestimate or neglect someone who was treated so respectfully by Prince Zhao.
In this way, Feng Qingzi settled down in Prince Zhao's mansion. He not only took possession of Princess Zhao, but also took all the concubines in the mansion. He lived a fairy-like life in Prince Zhao's mansion with beauties on both sides and music every day.
Anyone who even slightly criticized him would mysteriously disappear the next day, and the number of wronged souls in his space increased accordingly. Some of the servants in the mansion dared not speak out, secretly hoping that King Zhao would return soon and expel him.
The Prince of Zhao always loved to frequent places of entertainment, and his greatest hobby in life was to collect beauties from all over the country. It was common for him to be away from home for more than half a year. Therefore, from the Princess of Zhao to his loyal followers, no one in the palace suspected that he had met with an accident, and they all thought that he had gone out to look for beauties again.
Luo Junxian had previously plundered beauties everywhere in order to please King Zhao.
While Feng Qingzi was enjoying himself every day, the Taifu, Ding Youtian, the village head, the clan leader and others were busy working in the fields every day despite the severe cold.
A teacher has come to the clan school. He is an old failed scholar recommended by Master Mo. The villagers of Dingjia Village are now busy. One group of people follows Ding Youtian and Taifu to apply fertilizer and increase the temperature of the beans, and another group follows Huo Jincheng and Weidong to generate electricity and make glass.
Ma Fuquan returned to the county government office and formed a special police team. Captain He was also transferred to the county government office as he wished. Ma Fuquan now became the technical instructor of power generation and glass making. He would go straight to the riverside base after returning from the county government office every day.
Huo Jincheng and his men also built a factory camp by the river. He almost slept in the camp at night. Meixiang and several women in the village were helping with cooking and washing clothes in the camp. This made Meixiang very annoyed. She just wanted to finish this terrible job here as soon as possible so that she could go back to the Ding family's old house and continue helping to make fire and brew wine.
On this day in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the beans began to ear. The female ears of beans are also called fruit ears. They are fleshy spike inflorescences. There are two florets in the lemma of the first floret. The upper one is fruitful, while the lower one degenerates. After pollination, they develop into grains.
The most critical period for bean ear development, from the small bell-shaped stage to the time before tasseling, is when sufficient water and fertilizer ensure healthy plant growth. This is key to large ear development. Village heads wish they could live in the bean fields themselves, constantly applying fertilizer and keeping a close eye on diseases.
By the end of December, the bean seeds had grown out. Because Ding Youtian mixed the spiritual spring water given by Jian Ning into the water and fertilizer, the yield per mu was estimated to reach about 1,600 to 1,700 kilograms. The village head was so excited that he squatted in the greenhouse and cried.
The village head, the clan leader, and the old Dingtou had all lived through years of war and famine. The village head's father had starved to death while fleeing the famine. Those who hadn't experienced famine could never fully grasp the feeling of hunger.
At that time, someone in the team fell down, and many people's eyes turned green, wishing they could pounce on him and eat him alive.
Under the pressure of survival, the horror of human nature is so terrible that even we can scare ourselves.
A few years ago, the village head's grandson, Cui Gu's youngest son, threw away a half-eaten vegetable dumpling because he thought it was not tasty. Cui Gu even argued with the village head, saying that since their family didn't need half a vegetable dumpling, it was fine to throw it away, and that the child could just eat it.
The head of the village was so angry that he almost died!
People who have experienced famine years cannot bear to see others wasting food and know the importance of food. The older people in the village often say that even if they can only eat bran until they are old, they will be satisfied.
Of course, no one really wants to eat bran until old age. This is just a beautiful wish, and it fully illustrates the importance of food in the minds of ordinary people.
When Old Ding heard that the yield per mu could reach 1,600 to 1,700 kilograms, his first reaction was, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" He was already able to walk around with the help of a stick. The eldest, second, and third brothers had also gone to work by the river. It was the eldest brother who had to put down his pride and beg Ma Fuquan for help.
The weather was getting colder and there were fewer jobs available. The villagers, regardless of gender, age or status, were either working in the bean fields or by the river. The brothers were very jealous. They couldn't just sit around at home doing nothing, or they would be drowned by Mrs. Meng's saliva.
Old Ding leaned on a stick and went to the edge of the field himself. Many women and children in the village came to witness the miracle. Not only did the head of the village burst into tears of excitement, but the tutor was also so happy that tears welled up in his eyes and he was a little incoherent. He pulled Ding Youtian's arm, patted the back of his hand and said repeatedly: "Great, great, you are really amazing, amazing!"
"You have done something great that benefits the country and the people!"
Ding Youtian smiled slightly. "This credit is not mine, it's my wife's. Her hometown has already achieved increased grain production. I heard it all from my wife."
The Grand Tutor wiped his eyes and said, "You two are both excellent and remarkable. Your wife provides free medical treatment almost every day, which is a gesture that benefits the neighbors. When I return to the capital, I will report your deeds to the Emperor... Master Huang, and ask for a reward for you!"
"Thank you, Master, but this is totally unnecessary." Ding Youtian bowed to him and said, "My wife doesn't like to be ostentatious. I hope you can forgive me."
"Good, good, good!" The Grand Tutor said three times in a row, "It's rare that you and your wife don't seek credit. You are truly a perfect couple, a pair of lovers!"
Old Ding walked forward and heard the Taifu's last words, cursing inwardly: "Bullshit!" If he hadn't picked up Jian back then, she might have starved to death.
Where did this pair of wall people come from!
As he approached the greenhouse and witnessed the lush, fruit-laden beans, he felt a mixture of emotions. As a seasoned farmer, his first reaction was shock, followed by delight and then frustration.
He miscalculated again and made a mistake.
The father couldn't defeat his son and was defeated by him again and again, which made him feel as if he was being bitten by thousands of insects.
The Grand Tutor is going back to the capital to report and tell the Crown Prince the good news. Ah Man has been here for some time. I miss that little girl a little after not seeing him for a while.
When Meixiang heard that she had to go back to Beijing, she was extremely unhappy. In order to stay, she ran to the yard in just one piece of clothing at night and stood there for half an hour, freezing herself to the point of catching a severe cold.
The next morning, the Grand Tutor saw that Meixiang was too ill to get out of bed, so he had to send Lai Xi to call Yang Jinyu, and left her to take Lai Xi back to the capital first.
On the second day after the Grand Tutor returned to the capital, the Minister of Revenue reported to the Emperor that villagers in Dingjia Village, Baisha Town, Jin County, Dazhou Prefecture, had tried planting hybrid beans and successfully achieved a yield of over 1,000 kilograms per mu.
Emperor Yongping was delighted and immediately ordered the officials of Jin County to be rewarded. Prince Yong, upon returning from the morning court, was furious and cursed Prince Zhao as a good-for-nothing! He immediately wrote a letter and had it delivered to Prince Zhao's palace, ordering Feng Qingzi to rush to Dingjia Village to investigate the bean incident and see if the crown prince was behind it.
