Seven days later.
After Chu Yuening's repeated requests, Ying Zheng finally allowed Xia Wuqie to get out of bed and take a bath after asking her.
Chu Yuening moaned unconsciously as her whole body was soaked in the warm pool water.
Seven days!
Do you know how she spent these seven days?
The conditions in ancient times were poor, and women were not allowed to take a bath or wash their hair during confinement. Chu Yuening even felt like she was going to stink.
It's hard for Ying Zheng to be with her every day without feeling disgusted, as she even feels disgusted with herself.
This bath took half an hour.
Chu Yuening put on her clothes and walked out of the bathroom refreshed.
After drying her hair in front of the fireplace, she did not pin it up, but let it hang down behind her.
Chu Yuening sat comfortably on the sofa, feeling her whole body fragrant. She picked up the rattle and teased the little one who had just finished drinking milk.
"Zhao Zhao, isn't it fun~"
"This is specially prepared for you by your mother."
The baby stared at the swaying ball and the "dong dong" sound with great curiosity. His eyes followed the rattle and his little hands waved from time to time.
As soon as Ying Zheng entered the hall, he saw this warm scene.
The woman was wearing a moon-white robe, her black hair was loose and soft, and her fair face was full of tenderness.
And his eldest son was having fun with his mother, grinning from ear to ear.
Why do I feel like this kid isn't very smart?
Ying Zheng stroked his chin, it seemed that he would have to be enlightened earlier in the future.
"A Zheng, come and play with the cub~"
Chu Yuening caught a glimpse of Ying Zheng at the door and happily waved for him to come over.
When Ying Zheng was awkwardly teasing the baby with a rattle, he looked at his adorable smile and sighed.
Well, just be a little stupid.
Anyway, he and Yue Ning will spoil him.
(Little Ying Zhao complained aggrievedly: I am just a baby drinking milk!)
The two played with the baby for a while.
Chu Yuening loved her little baby so much that she couldn't stop kissing his face and little hands.
Ying Zheng was more restrained, mainly because he was afraid that his rough hands would sting the baby's delicate skin.
When the baby began to feel drowsy again, Chu Yuening handed him over to his aunt.
At this time, Ying Zheng unscrupulously held the warm and soft beauty in his arms.
"The weather is still cold, don't go out during this period."
"Okay~"
Chu Yuening actually wanted to go out and get some fresh air.
But Ying Zheng treated her like a glass doll. Fortunately, she had her milk-smelling baby to keep her company.
The two of them stopped talking, and the hall fell silent for a moment.
Ying Zheng sniffed the sweet fragrance from the woman's hair, and felt the softness of clouds in his palms. His heart could not help but flutter, and his eyes became darker and darker.
He restrained himself, picked up the warm and soft girl in his arms and put her aside.
Even though Yue Ning seemed to be fine, he would not allow himself any possibility of hurting her.
"A Zheng, is spring plowing coming soon?"
Chu Yuening did not notice anything unusual about Ying Zheng, but instead asked about spring plowing.
"Well, it will start in a few days."
"Then please help me hand these two blueprints over to Mo Ju for research. When they are finished, you can have someone inspect them."
Chu Yuening handed the drawings of the plow cart and the overturning cart to Ying Zheng. She had drawn them yesterday.
Because her grandfather was a carpenter and often taught her a lot of relevant knowledge, she had already memorized the structure of some farm tools.
Since we plan to implement a land reclamation policy, the reclamation progress will be faster with the assistance of high-efficiency agricultural tools.
"But are they agricultural implements?"
Ying Zheng had become accustomed to his wife occasionally giving him things that would benefit the people.
"A Zheng is so smart!"
"This is a plow cart. It can be pulled by oxen to dig furrows for sowing seeds. It can sow one hectare a day."
"Another name for it is the tipping wheel, also known as the keel water wheel, which can quickly irrigate farmland."
Chu Yuening leaned on the man's shoulder and explained to him carefully.
She knew that A Zheng was very concerned about agriculture.
Her A Zheng is a wise ruler who cares about the world!
"These two things are truly ingenious and will benefit farmers in their farming."
"I will order the Mohists to speed up their research so that it can be promoted as soon as possible."
Spring plowing can be said to be the top priority of the whole country, so Ying Zheng naturally wanted to put the new agricultural tools into use as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Chu Yuening said no more.
She believed that A Zheng would arrange everything.
"Also, there's one more thing. Ah Zheng, do you still remember the military coat I gave you?"
Chu Yuening recalled how Ying Zheng looked in his military coat, like a heroic officer, so handsome.
“Of course I have never forgotten.”
Ying Zheng answered without hesitation.
Although the green clothing was not good-looking, it was extremely warm to wear and was no worse than silk clothing.
"This military coat is made from a crop called cotton, and I happen to have seeds..."
Although they both knew Chu Yuening's secret, it was still a little embarrassing to talk about her again.
"Yuening wants to plant this during the spring plowing season?"
"It's just something unfamiliar, I'm afraid it's not easy for the people to accept it."
Ying Zheng did not doubt the authenticity of cotton, and was delighted to have such a sacred object that was as important as sweet potatoes.
But his idea is to try planting it on public land first, and then promote it to other places next year.
"A Zheng, don't worry, I have a plan."
Chu Yuening played with the man's big hand and smiled slyly.
"We can implement policies to support cotton planting. No taxes will be levied on cotton in the first year of planting, and the government will purchase it at a price half that of grain."
Listening to the new words, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
