Chapter 82: He who loves his wife prospers, but he who neglects his wife loses everything
Su Yuyan told Jiang Hanyu everything about the five children giving her red umbrellas with white handles.
Finally, she said.
"You and the Crown Prince are the only two princes left in the Dafeng royal family. After we send the Crown Prince away, only the Prince will be left. And since my father is 59 years old and can't have any children, the Prince will become the sole heir to this vast kingdom."
"Since the prince has placed his life in my hands, all the people in the world are my subjects."
"It's common for children from poor families to be unable to attend private schools. The oldest of the five children who brought me poisonous mushrooms today is eleven or twelve years old. If he doesn't start learning, he'll have to rely on physical labor to make a living for the rest of his life."
"Your Highness may not know that when the Queen summoned me to the palace, I cheated her out of two million taels of silver. I plan to use part of it to build a school for the children here and hire some teachers, so that all children can read and that reading is no longer just a privilege for the rich."
After she finished speaking, she explained to Jiang Hanyu what school was.
Jiang Hanyu stared at her intently.
His princess is really kind.
"Yuyan's money can be used for entertainment, and I will provide the personnel and funds for building the school."
"I've already mobilized all the Wuxiang Pavilion personnel from Linzhou and Yuezhou, which border Qiangzhou, to come and rescue the people of Qiangzhou. Since Yuyan wants to build a school, I'll transfer some more personnel from Wuxiang Pavilion in other territories."
Su Yuyan agreed decisively.
"Alright, even if Your Highness obeys my orders, the Dafeng Kingdom belongs to the Jiang family, not the Su family, so it's only natural for Your Highness to spend some money on his people."
Jiang Hanyu curled his lips helplessly.
All the truth in the world lies in my wife's sophistry.
"As long as you stay with me, I will pay for all your expenses. I won't let you spend a penny."
Su Yuyan has shallow dimples.
"If Dafeng wants to become better and better, it must popularize education. Lin Heqing and I are excellent and capable because we received a good education from our motherland."
Jiang Hanyu is as gentle as water.
"Yuyan has the ability to subvert the world, so I know that the world Yuyan originally lived in was far more developed than this continent."
"Besides, Yuyan cares about the people and is of high moral character. I will definitely listen to her."
Su Yuyan rubbed his handsome face.
"If Your Majesty has this awareness, Dafeng will surely become an enduring dynasty on this continent."
After finishing talking about the serious matters, Jiang Hanyu's eyes sparkled.
"Yuyan once clearly stated that she didn't want to be the empress, and I also told her that I had no interest in the throne, but Yuyan just said that my father couldn't have children at his age."
"So what Yuyan just said means that she plans to make our child the emperor in the future? Is Yuyan willing to give birth to our child?"
Seeing that he was so happy, Su Yuyan raised her eyebrows.
"Father will eventually abdicate. Since I'm so close to the throne, having a child to inherit this vast empire is a good idea."
"But I just had this idea today. As for whether or not to give birth and when to give birth, it all depends on your Majesty's performance."
When Jiang Hanyu heard this, his deep pupils flashed with bright light.
"I will find a way to make Bor happy and let Yuyan give birth to our child."
Su Yuyan curled her lips.
"I'll wait and see."
"Your Highness, you must be hungry after a busy morning. Let's go have dinner."
After lunch, Su Yuyan returned to the room and waved her hand to take out a lot of seeds and seedlings of crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn from the space.
"These are drought-resistant and high-yielding crops. Your Highness has arranged for the officials from the Ministry of Agriculture sent by the court to gather the local farmers in the fields near the suburbs. I will explain to them in detail how to grow these crops."
Jiang Hanyu looked at Su Yuyan with burning eyes.
"Yuyan, I thank you on behalf of the people of Qiangzhou."
Su Yuyan curled her lips.
"I received your kindness. Please give me something valuable someday."
Jiang Hanyu's eyes were full of doting.
"Even if Yuyan doesn't tell me, I will continue to order the people in Wuxiang Pavilion to find rare treasures to present to Yuyan."
An hour later, Su Yuyan, standing at the edge of a field in the suburbs, looked at the densely packed group of people below and said.
"What lies before you are the seeds and seedlings of crops, which the prince sent people from far and wide to find for the people of Qiangzhou."
"These crops are not only high-yielding but also drought-resistant. The prince will distribute these seeds and seedlings free of charge to farmers in Qiangzhou. You can save the seeds and seedlings and plant them every year. You will never have to go hungry again."
Upon hearing this, all the farmers present knelt down and kowtowed to King Rui.
"Your Highness Prince Rui is not only the savior of the people of Qiangzhou, but also a sign of destiny. I, the common people, thank Your Highness Prince Rui. May Your Highness live a thousand years!"
Prince Rui looked at his wife who attributed all the credit to him, and opened his thin lips slightly.
"These drought-resistant, high-yield crops were discovered accidentally by the princess among the common people, and she has also thoroughly researched the cultivation methods of these crops."
"I only ordered people to collect the clues provided by the princess."
"And this prince takes the princess' words as his guiding principle, so you must first thank the princess for her great kindness."
Everyone present: “???!!!”
His Royal Highness Prince Rui actually said in public that he obeyed the princess's every word? ? ? ! !
The prince really loves the princess so much!
An official from the Ministry of Agriculture immediately took the opportunity to flatter the emperor.
"His Royal Highness Prince Rui is as heroic as a pine tree on a snowy mountain, attracting countless noble ladies to throw fruit into his carriage. However, His Royal Highness has only been married to one person and his love for the princess is as deep as the sea. This kind of iron will and tenderness is truly admirable!"
This was the first time in his life that Prince Rui did not find flattery offensive.
He looked at Su Yuyan beside him with burning eyes.
"I respect and love the princess, so everything goes smoothly and I have good luck."
"Moreover, I firmly believe that those who love their wives will prosper, while those who neglect their wives will never gain anything."
Seeing this, the farmers immediately changed direction and cheered towards Su Yuyan.
"I, the common people, deeply appreciate the princess's great kindness and generosity. May the princess live a thousand years!"
Su Yuyan was in a very happy mood at this time.
"Fellow villagers, please get up quickly."
"Next, I will demonstrate and explain in detail the planting methods and precautions for these crops. Please pay close attention."
"Members of the Wuxiang Pavilion and officials from the Sino-Agricultural Department, please watch carefully."
Since Wuxiang Pavilion is spread all over the continent, and King Rui recently mobilized a large number of Wuxiang Pavilion members from other territories to provide disaster relief in Qiangzhou, all the Wuxiang Pavilion members summoned by King Rui at this time thought that the seeds and seedlings in front of them were found by other Wuxiang Pavilions arranged by their master.
The officials from the Ministry of Agriculture who were sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief had recently learned that Wuxiang Pavilion was founded by Prince Rui, and they no longer suspected anything.
"yes."
Su Yuyan took a few steps forward, picked up the seedlings and began to plant them in the cultivated land.
While operating, she explained in great detail the planting methods and precautions of these crops.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Hanyu walked forward and took the seedlings from Su Yuyan's hand.
"Yuyan, go rest aside. I've watched carefully and learned it already. I'll demonstrate it to them."
Seeing the undisguised heartache on his handsome face, Su Yuyan smiled.
"Okay, I'll enjoy the happiness and you'll bear the suffering."
Jiang Hanyu curled his lips, and then began to plant like Su Yuyan had just done.
After demonstrating the planting methods of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes several times in detail, Su Yuyan looked at everyone.
"Have you learned everything?"
Everyone said in unison.
"I learned it. They taught me step by step and even explained the precautions in detail."
Su Yuyan said.
"In that case, I will have the officials from the Ministry of Agriculture distribute all the seeds and seedlings here to you. You can go back and plant them."
"These crops have a very high survival rate and are very drought-resistant. Most importantly, they can easily yield 1,000 kilograms per mu."
Tears welled up in the farmers' eyes.
"We've been farming our whole lives, and we'd all be overjoyed if we could produce 400 kilograms of grain per mu. But they can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu? Then won't we be able to eat our fill every day after paying taxes to the country?"
