Chapter 517: Prepare to Train a Steward
When Su Yue arrived at the farm, the black shadow came out to greet her personally.
"Princess, you came at the perfect time. I was just about to go back and look for you."
Su Yue asked: "What happened?"
The shadowy figure waved his hand. "No, I'm thinking about what to plant in the greenhouse after the sweet potato seedlings are grown."
These two farms have become the bases for greenhouses, so they will naturally not be demolished and will be put to full use.
Black Shadow had been working in the fields for some time and realized the hardships and difficulties faced by farmers. He wanted to do more for the people.
Su Yue said, "Let's go in and take a look first. I don't know what to plant right now."
She has little experience in farming and only knows roughly what to plant in each season of the year.
But it’s different here. The greenhouses are used to grow crops that the people need.
A wave of sweet potato vines has already been released, and together with those in the space, at least one-fifth of the people in Xifeng Kingdom have received sweet potato vines. After this wave is collected and sent out together with those in the space, half of the people in Xifeng Kingdom will have sweet potato vines.
There is no need to grow sweet potatoes in the Jiangnan area, so the sweet potato vines can be left alone.
"good."
The black shadow nodded and took Su Yue to the field. Seeing the sweet potatoes that had already sprouted in the greenhouse, Su Yue smiled. If these sweet potato vines were distributed to the people, at least the people would not have to go hungry during the winter in the second half of this year.
The sweet potatoes were sprouting nicely. After seeing this, Su Yue felt better. She said, "Find a few of the servants and I'll ask them."
The rice seedlings are being grown in the fields now. Su Yue knows what is the most suitable thing to plant in the fields, and she thinks she should ask an experienced farmer.
The farmer works in the fields all year round and knows what crops are suitable to plant.
The black shadow quickly called over a few village masters.
Several people have been doing farm work all their lives, dealing with the fields every day. They have never seen such a beautiful and dignified Su Yue. They were very reserved. After the greeting, they stood there and didn't dare to speak.
Seeing how nervous they were, Su Yue smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I called you here to ask you something."
One of the bolder Zhuang masters said timidly, "Princess, please feel free to ask anything you want. We will tell you everything we know."
Although they are farmers, they are all slaves who have sold themselves.
"Have you ever been to school?"
Su Yue felt that he spoke very well and even used idioms.
Master Zhuang nodded and said, "When I was young, I went to school for a few days, but my family was too poor to afford it, so I dropped out later."
Later, a natural disaster struck and I lost my home. I had no choice but to sell myself just to survive.
When Zhuang Bashi thought of this, he felt sad.
Su Yue couldn't help but take a few more glances at the farmer, and an idea came to her mind. So she asked, "I just want to ask you, after the sweet potato vines in the field are harvested, what should be planted in the greenhouse?"
The farmhand thought for a moment and said, "Princess, you can try growing wheat."
It is now past the wheat planting season, but there should be no problem in growing wheat in greenhouses.
Su Yue thought to herself after hearing this, maybe she could grow wheat.
She asked several other village masters, and when they saw that the village master spoke to her very easily, they nodded boldly.
One of them said, "Princess, I think what Brother Yuan said makes sense. Wheat can be grown in the greenhouse. It would be a waste to grow anything else. Wheat has a high yield and is a staple food. We also have experience and can ensure that wheat can grow normally."
Su Yue listened and looked at the black shadow: "Then I will leave this matter to you. I will prepare the seeds, and you can return to the capital to transport them."
The black shadow bowed and said, "Yes, Princess. I will remember this."
Su Yue nodded and said to the farmhands, "You guys should work hard. If you do well, I will promote you to be managers to manage these greenhouses."
Several village masters were pleasantly surprised and said, "Thank you, Princess. We will definitely work hard and will not let you down."
Su Yue nodded: "Then you can go down."
After a few people saluted her, they retreated, still looking happy when they got outside.
"Black Shadow, I think you could train the man you just called Brother Yuan. He could be a manager on the farm in the future."
As soon as she met Brother Yuan and his men, Su Yue had this idea in her mind. The black shadow was a secret guard trained by Murong Li with great effort. It was a pity to have him here. It was a waste of talent.
Just pick a few servants like Brother Yuan who are literate and understand farming, and train them to be managers.
Then hand over these two farms to them and pull out the black shadow.
When Su Yue said this, Hei Ye understood her intention. He smiled and said, "I was just about to tell the princess about this. Actually, I have been keeping an eye on them for a long time. They are very down-to-earth and familiar with the crops. I have already started to train them."
The black shadow doesn't mind where his master puts him, he will do his job there.
But he also understood that his master placed him here only as a temporary measure, and his battlefield was not here.
Su Yue gave the black shadow a thumbs up and praised, "You are indeed the helper Murong Li found for me. You are really good.
That's right, what I mean is that you should train a few managers to manage these two farms. Leaving you here is a waste of your talent. You should stay with Murong Li, he needs you more."
Once Murong Li ascends the throne, he must have his own people around him.
A new emperor appoints new ministers. When Murong Li came to power, he had no one to rely on. It was a good thing that no one opposed him.
The black shadow has been here for such a long time and has a certain understanding of crops. He will be placed in the Ministry of Revenue. With him, a man of both civil and military talents, watching over the people in the Ministry of Revenue, those people will not dare to cheat and call a horse a zebra.
The shadow said sternly, "I will completely rely on the princess's arrangements."
"Well, please hurry up. I'll give you half a month, and you can come back then."
"Yes, I will definitely not let the princess down."
Su Yue affirmed: "You have indeed done a great job and have never let us down. It's getting late, and we should set off to return to Beijing."
The shadow's heart warmed, and he said, "Then I will escort you back to the capital."
The princess was assassinated on the way here, and Yueying told him about it as soon as she arrived. Fortunately, the princess was not hurt.
But this time when he returns to the capital, he must send the princess back safely.
Su Yue waved her hand: "You don't have to send them off. They just lost a group of people this morning. They shouldn't be stupid enough to send them off again in the afternoon."
"Well then, Princess, please be careful on the road."
The black shadow had no choice but to agree superficially. He also knew Su Yue's abilities and knew that not everyone could hurt her.
Just don't let him send it openly, he can send it secretly.
